Duan Yi leaves early every day and returns late every day, walking on the busy streets. He doesn't know where to find a job, what kind of job he can do, or what kind of job others can give him.

His aimlessness and repeated polite refusals made him increasingly confused.

Like a speck of dust that has to exist in the vast sea of ​​​​people, it feels like floating in the misty world. The people in a hurry and the various faces seem to reflect all the shortcomings of his own humanity. Duan Yi's restless mood is intensified.

To overcome the self-loathing of being a loser.

As time went by, there was still no result.

Duan Yi dragged his exhausted body back to Xu Fei's residence.

"You're back." The voice was crisp and the smile was sweet. Xu Fei's smile was one that Duan Yi couldn't bear to face happily. To outsiders, the lovely wife at home was welcoming the return of her hard-working husband.

But there were no outsiders.

So she is not a spoiled wife.

"Oh" Duan Yi was speechless. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but that he didn't know how to face it. Faced with the beautiful girl Xu Fei who was becoming more and more charming in his heart, and faced with the life that he gradually came to understand, such an unbearable life.

The situation of living under someone else's roof lasted for half a month. The half-moon of confusion seemed to last more than half a lifetime.

"Can you lend me some money to buy lunch?" Duan Yi didn't know where he got the courage to say this easily.

Xu Fei didn't show any disgust or contempt. He would rather see that expression, trying to find a trace of compassion in her eyes. Even just a little bit would be enough to stimulate his gone aloof self-esteem.

He was looking for a reason to go away alone.

It's night, and the sound of a cat meowing like a baby's cry outside the window is endless.

Even though the doors and windows were closed, the sound was very penetrating and invaded the soul.

Duan Yi was confused and confused by the sound. Rather than rejecting it in vain, it would be better to listen to it in boredom.

There was a knock on the bedroom door.

From outside the door, Xu Fei shouted in fear, almost crying.

"Duan Yi, please open the door? I'm so scared."

Duan Yi opened the door and asked what he was afraid of.

"The cry of the baby outside is so scary. Why is there a baby crying outside so late at night?"

"At first I thought it was a baby, but after hearing more, I realized it was a female cat in heat," Duan Yi said.

"Oh——" Xu Fei's O-shaped mouth froze slightly, as if she suddenly understood.

"Go to sleep." Duan Yi said calmly, preparing to close the door. Xu Fei held on pushing it.

"Can we stay together for a while?" Xu Fei looked like a child reluctant to go home. "I'm really scared!"

She looked really scared, Duan Yi let her in.

There is only a bed, a table and a chair in the guest room.

When Xu Fei came in, Duan Yi realized that she was only wearing a loose nightgown.

Inside the translucent black silk fabric, a pure white figure is looming.

As soon as Duan went back to bed, Xu Fei climbed on top of the sheets and sat down.

"The night is a bit cold." Xu Fei said.

"Come in."

Xu Fei quickly climbed into bed.

Her face was pressed tightly against his thick chest. At this time, the weird meowing outside the window was still there, and she could only hear his messy heartbeat.

Duan Yi gently patted her back through the thin silk nightgown and maintained her sleeping position until he was sure that she had fallen asleep sweetly.

Duan Yi gently moved away his numb shoulders, slowly got up, wrote a line of words on the notepad, tore it off, and left it on the table.

Her sleeping posture was beautiful, and her sleeping expression was beautiful! He covered her with a quilt, picked up the packed luggage, opened and closed the door gently.

Duan Yi disappeared alone into the deserted night. The coolness of late autumn in the south was enough to chill the hearts of lost and passionate men and women.

The moment the door closed, Xu Fei opened her eyes that were pretending to be closed. She picked up the uneven outline of the paper on the table and burst into tears.

"Thank you. I'm sorry. I'm leaving. I can't explain why."
