Xia Yangyang easily opened the door and went inside.
The lights were bright inside.
As she ascended the stairs, Xia Yangyang made almost no sound.
The second floor was also very quiet.
Xia Yangyang didn’t know where Gu Qichen was.
Perhaps she shouldn’t have co back.
But, she had promised Gu Qichen that she would never again disappear without a trace, without a word.
She had made that promise.
Xia Yangyang used such a la excuse to convince herself.
Deep down, she wouldn’t admit she just wanted to see Gu Qichen one last ti.
Xia Yangyang stood at the door of the bedroom.
She hesitated for a long ti.
She could feel her heart pounding harder and harder.
Xia Yangyang was actually nervous, nervous because of Gu Qichen.
In fact, Xia Yangyang hadn’t thought about how to say goodbye.
She really didn’t know what to say, or couldn’t imagine how Gu Qichen would react to knowing she was leaving.
Xia Yangyang hesitated again.
But in the end, Xia Yangyang still knocked on the door.
Xia Yangyang knocked a few tis.
There was no response from inside.
Xia Yangyang couldn’t help but feel suspicious in her heart.
Could it be that Gu Qichen hadn’t co back?
But the lights were clearly on.
Xia Yangyang had just seen Gu Qichen’s car in the yard as well.
Xia Yangyang opened the door herself.
This villa had a good twenty rooms.
Nearly every room’s lights were on.
But only, Gu Qichen’s room was dark.
Inside was pitch black.
But in that darkness, Gu Qichen still saw a tall and lonely figure in front of the French window.
There he was, hidden in the dark, enveloped by a layer of grey emotion.
It was as if he was imrsed in his own world, just like when Xia Yangyang had knocked on the door a mont ago.
He hadn’t even heard it.
However, the sound of the door opening finally startled him.
Gu Qichen turned around.
When he saw Xia Yangyang, he still felt dazed for a mont.
She stood at the threshold between light and dark.
She looked so unreal.
Gu Qichen stood still, feeling as if he were looking at a bubble about to burst.
He didn’t dare to move, feeling that one movent would shatter it.
Xia Yangyang stood at the door for a while, then slowly walked in.
Xia Yangyang didn’t turn on the lights either.
Barefoot, she stepped silently on the ground.
It seed that she could only hear her own heartbeat.
The air was filled with the scent of tobacco.
Only then did Xia Yangyang realize that Gu Qichen was standing there alone, smoking.
On his fingertips was a cigarette that hadn’t burned out yet.
The smoke seed to envelop Gu Qichen.
But that cold face was gradually becoming clearer.
Xia Yangyang had already walked up to Gu Qichen.
But Gu Qichen remained motionless.
His expression was strange, as if he couldn’t believe the scene before him.
But as Xia Yangyang drew closer with every step,
the pain in Gu Qichen’s eyes beca more and more apparent.
Xia Yangyang went over and gently took the cigarette from Gu Qichen’s fingertips.
She didn’t throw it away but instead put it to her mouth and took a drag.
It was the first ti Xia Yangyang had tried tobacco.
The bitter taste spread throughout her mouth, as if it wanted to penetrate her brain along with her nerves.
After just one drag, Xia Yangyang was unwilling to try again.
She extinguished the cigarette and tossed it into the nearby trash can.
Suddenly breaking the silence, she said, "I don’t understand why you n can’t get enough of sothing so bitter."
