In the past, when he called Qin Huan, Qin Huan would either not answer the phone, or he would pick up the phone slowly after making dozens of calls that she had to answer. But this time, he desperately hoped that Qin Huan would not answer.
Maybe she would answer it later, but God was always against her. The fourth time the phone rang, Qin Huan answered the phone, neither urgent nor slow, just like her indifferent rhythm.
"Hey -" the voice over there was so cold.
Red took a deep breath and spoke in as calm a voice as possible, "It's me."
"Um."
Qin Huan responded lightly, her voice seemed to pause, and then she said slowly: "Are you feeling better?"
When Red heard such words that were similar to greetings, she really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. In the past five years, she had ignored him and avoided him. She had never even heard of these very ordinary greetings.
Even if he faints from exhaustion at work, even if he drinks so much that his stomach bleeds, even if he gets into a fight with someone
She was beaten until her skin was bruised and swollen, and she never received a greeting from her, let alone a greeting, even a mention, she would never say it. Outside, she never should be called Mrs. Yan, she only recognized her as Qin
Huan, so at that time, she would rather spend her time getting close to Jing Yan than follow his reputation and enter the screenwriting circle.
Only now did Red realize that Qin Huan had done so many evil deeds in his heart, so many that he couldn't even count them... Now, the two of them are finally done with each other, and he should be happy, right?
?But why, now he just wants to hang up the phone and disappear, even if he is just asked to be called Qin Huan's husband, he is happy?
But... no.
He has let Qin Huan down too many times, he has pestered her for too long, he has occupied her for too long, and he cannot continue.
If it's not yours, you really can't force it. Even if you force it, it's still not yours. It took him five years to understand this truth.
"I'm fine." He took a deep breath again and seemed to have spent a lot of effort to suppress the choking in his heart. "What about you? Are you injured anywhere?"
At that time, he was sent to the hospital and treated separately from Qin Huan, but she never came to see him. He only learned from White that she only had some superficial injuries and was discharged from the hospital the next day. And they
His ward was only separated by a wall, and she didn't come over to see him, which was enough to prove her attitude.
"I'm fine."
As concise and straightforward as ever.
Red murmured in a low voice, "As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."
There was another suffocating silence. Most of their phone calls were silent, but many times, Qin Huan would hang up in the next second without any courtesy, leaving no room for error. This time, there was silence between them for nearly five years.
Minutes later, she still didn't hang up the phone. Of course, it was too quiet over there. Red didn't realize she didn't hang up until he looked at the phone interface. He couldn't help but curl his lips in a self-deprecating tone.
He doesn't dare to be sentimental now and think that Qin Huan's not hanging up the phone is the reason why he is happy. She is probably... waiting for him to talk about the divorce, so... she is so patient...
That’s right, Red, you’re a man, so just do it better and don’t drag her with her mother-in-law. Besides, it’s useless. Qin Huan won’t change her mind or love you if she drags you. Instead, it will only increase her dislike. He is already enough.
