Autumn came quickly in Haibin City. After two rains, the temperature dropped. Thin summer clothes were no longer enough to cope with such weather. After working overtime, I went home to tidy up some clothes.

As the seasons change, the daylight hours are getting shorter and shorter. When I walked to the community, it was just past seven o'clock, and it was already covered with shadows. Under the moonlight, for the first time, I felt that the house I had lived in for nearly seven years was full of shadows.

It was so cold. Because Xu Binwei was there that day, I didn’t think too much. Standing here alone today, I realized that that creepy feeling is still in my mind.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's not eight o'clock yet. Even if there are thieves, they won't come at this time." I finished mentally building myself up, took a deep breath, and was about to walk into the corridor when a familiar voice came from behind me.

, there is hesitation and a little uncertainty.

"Xia Xia?"

I took one foot down and stood there without looking back, but I could feel the owner of the voice approaching me.

"Xia Xia, it's me." Ji Qiuchen stood behind me, holding my stiff shoulders with both hands and turning me around to face him. His eyebrows were still the same as in my memory. When he smiled, the ends of his eyes were slightly raised, and his lips were slightly raised.

The corner curved into a beautiful arc. He looked at me with a smile and called me Xia Xia, as if everything was just like yesterday, as if there were no three years between us, as if those days of self-torture had never happened.

Ji Qiuchen looked at me with piercing eyes, but the movements of his hands were as gentle as a feather sweeping. He raised a hand and pushed the hair on my cheek behind my ear, and said in a gentle tone, "Xia Xia, I'll wait.

You've been here for most of the day."

I've been waiting for you for most of the day. In the past, when he was waiting for me downstairs with the girls, he always liked to say this, with a bit of pampering and complaining. But now, how could he say it so easily?

tone.

I regained my attention from him, took a step back, left his hand, and tried to control my emotions so that my voice could come out calmly.

"You're back."

Ji Qiuchen's expression visibly stiffened, but he still kept his smiling face, "Yes, I'm back, Xia Xia, I'm back."

He said he was back twice, and I wondered what the meaning was. Can I be hypocritical and think that he came back to me, not only to his country and the seaside, but also to me?

"Oh, are you coming back to develop? Or are you coming back to have a look and go back later?" Forgive me for my expressionless face and cold tone, I have never imagined this scene. I have recalled the past with Ji Qiuchen countless times, but

I never imagined what kind of attitude and language I would use to face him if we met again one day.

Because in my mind, it was impossible for him and I to meet again, no matter whether I still loved him or not, or whether I remembered him or not. So when this kind of bloody drama happened to me, I was so shocked that I felt helpless.

Charred tender.

Ji Qiuchen finally took off the fake smile mask, sighed and said, "Xia Xia, I'm back and I'll never leave again. Just let me come back, okay?"

I opened my fisted fingers, and the emotions I had suppressed burst out.

"Come back? Ha, Ji Qiuchen, you said it so easily. Are you sure this is your return? Can Rong Zhishan let you come back? Or is it that Miss Qianjin finally realized that she and the poor boy are not the same people and doesn't want you anymore, so you want to come back?"

"Of course not, listen to me..."

"I don't listen, why should I listen to you? Also, Ji Qiuchen, why do you think you can come back if you say you will come back? Why are you sure that I will let you come back?" I knew that my voice was sharp at this time,

There was resentment in his eyes. I had never had such an ugly face in front of Ji Qiuchen, not even when we broke up. But at this moment, I couldn't care so much and couldn't control it.

"Xia Xia..."

"Don't call me that!" I interrupted him coldly, "Ji Qiuchen, I'm not your Xia Xia. You have no right to call me that. From the day you told me that you were leaving with Rong Zhishan, you

You will never be qualified to call me that... you don’t deserve it!”

"I'm sorry." Ji Qiuchen looked lonely, his arms hanging down, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, looking melancholy and decayed.

"I know it's my fault and I shouldn't make you sad, but Xia Xia..."

"I told you don't call me that!" I screamed. I hated hearing those two words from his mouth, and hated him calling my name in that tone. Every time he said it, my sanity collapsed.

Closer.

Ji Qiuchen seemed to be frightened by my appearance and said hurriedly: "Okay, I won't scream. Chu Xia, please calm down." He took a step forward and stretched out his hands to hug me.

He quickly backed away to avoid contact with him.

Ji Qiuchen stopped when he saw me like this, and put down his arms dejectedly, "Chu Xia, there was a reason why I left in the first place. I had to leave. Please listen to my explanation, please?"

"Reason? I have to leave?" I suddenly looked at him and smiled. Maybe my smile was not pretty or even ferocious, otherwise he wouldn't have looked at me with such loving eyes, but this was my true emotion.

It is the smile that comes from my heart, and it is also the taste that I have been tasting for the past three years, which is bitter and astringent.

"Ji Qiuchen, what's the big reason why you didn't care about our four-year relationship and dumped me overnight and fell in love with Rong Zhishan? Did she use her study abroad quota to coerce you? Or is your father dying of illness?

She wants you to sell yourself to save your father?"

"Early summer!" Ji Qiuchen shouted in a deep voice, stopping me from saying more unpleasant words later. When Ji Qiuchen was about to go to graduate school, his father suffered from gastric cancer. The cost of surgery and treatment was a large sum of money.

With this money, he almost gave up studying for graduate school. Later, his tutor begged the school to let him defer the tuition payment. In the second academic year, Ji Qiuchen used the money he earned from part-time work and scholarships to make up for it.

I know he will be unhappy and uncomfortable if I say such words, but I just want him to be uncomfortable. Can his heartache be compared to one tenth of mine?

"What? You think my words are ugly? You've done everything, and you're still afraid of what I say? Ji Qiuchen, how can there be such a good thing in this world? You can build a chastity memorial arch even if you become a bitch." I suppressed the expression in my eyes.

The raging tears made me want to speak viciously and harshly, leaving no room for error.

I looked at Ji Qiuchen's increasingly gloomy eyes, his eyes filled with sadness, his nails digging deeply into his palms, and I used the stinging pain to support myself.

"Actually, you made the right choice back then. I can understand why you, Ji Qiuchen, are so angry. Who is Rong Zhishan? She is a phoenix flying in the sky. She can give you whatever you want. I am just a garbage dumpster.

Abandoned wild cats are not only dirty, smelly, and unsightly, but they can also stretch out their claws to scratch people. So, why do you think you came to my place to abuse me? Wouldn't it be nice for the two of you to fly together?
