Chapter Thirty-Eight Heartache

  We had a wild time all day long, and in the end he sent me back home, reluctantly saying: "Han, you're really beautiful! I never thought you'd agree to it."

  "Fool! Go back, don't be too late!" After saying that, he went back into the house.

  The house was dark and eerie, with a cold wind blowing in gusts. I felt a little scared and shouted: "Cheng, are you home?"

  I habitually took out my phone and dialed a familiar number: "Hello! Zhen, where are you?"

  Headquarters.

  "When are you going home?"

  "Tomorrow."

  "Then take good care of yourself, I'll bring breakfast to school for you tomorrow!"

  "No need, I won't be back home until two days later."

  "Huh? Why didn't you mention leaving before, where are you going this time?"

  Japan.

  "Is it Shadow's doing?"

  "Alright! Ouyang Sheng is the leader of the 'Shadow' gang, he suddenly came back this time, there must be something going on. I and Xun will go take a look, we'll be back in two days."

  "Are you not going tonight?"

  "He wants to take care of He Qiao'er."

  "Oh! Take care of yourself and get some rest." After saying that, I hung up the phone. This is the first time I've ever hung up on my brother's call, usually it's always him hanging up on me, hehe.

  Looking at the empty house again, I felt a strange sense of desolation. Before, I also lived alone, but I didn't have this feeling. "Sigh!" I sighed and went upstairs to my room.

  I pushed open the door and slowly walked to the bedside, lying down on the bed weakly. The scenes of what happened today were like a movie in my mind, very unreal.

  "When did you start?" A sudden, cold voice came from the balcony, as if it had come from the North Pole. I sat up and saw a tall, handsome figure walking towards me, emitting an icy aura all around him.

  "Who are you? Why are you here?" I asked in a low voice.

  He didn't say a word, slowly walking towards me. Through the balcony, the faint moonlight shone in, and I finally saw clearly that it was Ye: "Ye, how did you get in?" In my memory, he had never been to our house, he shouldn't know where it is, so why would he come, and even enter my room?

  "Are you afraid of seeing me?"

  "What? No, I just wonder how you came here, how did you get in?"

  "Hand me the key and tell me to take good care of you."

  "Oh! So you're looking for me for something?"

  "When were you with Ouyang Xing?"

  "What does this have to do with you?"

  "Do you like him?"

  "I don't know."

  "Do you like me?"

  "What? Are you kidding me? Don't you have a girlfriend already?"

  "Are you referring to He Qiaor?"

  I nodded.

  "Do you eat vinegar?"

  "I didn't, why would I eat vinegar?" I said with a guilty conscience.

  "Don't you like me?"

  "I," the image of Qiao telling me she loved Ye tonight suddenly flashed in my mind, and how they would talk together at school, with Ye not even showing any dislike. I said firmly: "I don't like you."

  "Really? Then you like Ouyang Sheng?" His eyes suddenly filled with hope, did I see it wrong?

  "Yes." I said firmly, afraid he would suspect.

  I watched as his gaze dimmed: "I'm leaving." Then he turned and left.

  Looking at his lonely back, tears somehow flowed down unknowingly. For the first time, I had this heart-wrenching feeling, as if something precious was taken away by someone else. My heart ached so much, and tears dropped one by one.
