The next day.

Ji Shuyu had a splitting headache. She supported her temples and climbed up, grabbed the water cup beside the bed and took a big gulp.

I shouldn’t have drunk it if I had known.

"Young Madam, you're awake." Auntie came up with some hangover soup. "Have some!"

"Thank you." She stood up and took two sips.

"Breakfast is ready. Madam, you can eat after you wash up. The master is waiting." Auntie smiled.

The relationship between the young couple seems a little tense recently, but seeing that the husband seems to be trying to make peace, it should be over soon.

"Gu Xiuyuan didn't go to work."

"No." Auntie shook her head, a little surprised that she called the gentleman by his full name.

In the past, whenever she mentioned the word "Xiuyuan", there was a smile in her eyes.

"Okay." Ji Shuyu took a shower, changed clothes and went downstairs.

In the restaurant.

Gu Xiuyuan was looking at something seriously, and he looked up when he heard footsteps.

"Awake." Gu Xiuyuan came over. "Are you feeling unwell?"

He spoke so naturally, as if nothing had happened before.

Never before had she felt so clearly that he was similar to Xia Mei.

It seemed as if they could always control their own rhythm with ease as long as they wanted, making people feel that all their frustration and anger were like a punch on cotton.

"I have something I want to tell you."

At this moment, she looked serious and solemn, as if she had made a decision after careful consideration.

"What do you want to say?"

"I'm moving out." She sat down at the dining table.

"What did you say?" Gu Xiuyuan frowned.

"It's inconvenient to go to the studio here, so I plan to move out." She replied more clearly.

"I send you off every day." Gu Xiuyuan suppressed his anger. "This is your home. If you don't live here, where are you going?"

"Don't bother!" She shook her head. "There's a youth hostel near the studio. The environment is pretty good."

"Youth Hostel?!"

Gu Xiuyuan was almost irritated by these two words. So, she had been thinking about this matter for more than a day or two!

"You can't get through these things, right?"

Even though I know I'm at fault, I still can't control my temper.

She actually said that he was sending her off, was that a bother?!

"You can't disobey your parents for now. I understand if you want to delay it." Ji Shuyu's face was calm. "I will help you deal with your family for the time being. As for grandma, I will also try my best to convince her to agree to my study abroad..."

"Then what?"

Gu Xiuyuan looked at her as if she had been thinking deeply for a long time, and he was so angry that his stomach twisted.

"It's really boring to say those two words too much." Ji Shuyu raised her eyes.

"Ji Shuyu!!" Gu Xiuyuan yelled. "Why do you keep talking about divorce? Huh?"

"How many times have you said this during this period of time? Do you remember?"

"You clearly can't let go of Su Yan, so why don't you agree?" Ji Shuyu was puzzled by his anger. "Aren't I just helping you?"

It was clearly her who was suffering and clearly she was the one who was hurt, so why did he question her?

Gu Xiuyuan clenched his fists tightly, finding it hard to believe that the once well-behaved little girl would one day specifically step on his anger points.

"In fact, you should know that your mother never cares about whether you get divorced or not. She just doesn't want you to be with Su Yan."

"You three are in love, why do you have to involve me?"

"Ji Shuyu, how many times do you want me to tell you that I have never betrayed our marriage?" He was almost helpless and angry, wishing he could teach this little girl a lesson.

If the body doesn’t betray, does it not count as betrayal?

"Responsibility and moral bottom line, what's the use of these to me?" she laughed.

"I will help you with your family, but I don't want to wait too long. During this period... you can do whatever you want!" she said and stood up.

Gu Xiuyuan caught up with her in two steps and grabbed her arm.

"I really don't want to argue with you. This is because I have retreated to the point where I can no longer give in." She looked up at him.

"Ji Shuyu!!" He gritted his teeth and clenched his other hand tightly, fearing that he would lose control of his anger and hurt her.

No!

It should be said that he was afraid that he would strangle her to death with his own hands.

"I don't think I've ever done anything to wrong you! Why are you holding on to me?" she said, and suddenly laughed, "Don't tell me it's because of some ridiculous possessiveness!"

Gu Xiuyuan's temples were throbbing, and he seemed to not recognize her anymore.

Just when the atmosphere between the two was tense, there was a sudden knock on the door. Auntie ran to open the door, and then there was a burst of screaming: "Xiao Yu..."

Hearing the sound, both of them were startled and ran to the door.

"grandmother?"

When the two of them reached the door, Qie Shulan had already entered dragging a suitcase.

"Grandma, why are you here?" Gu Xiuyuan was surprised.

"What are you talking about? Can't I come?" The old lady glared, then looked at Ji Shuyu with a face full of grievance, "Xiao Yu~"

Ji Shuyu supported the old lady and looked back, but there was no one behind her.

"Grandma, why did you come here by yourself?"

"I'm coming to live with you guys. I don't want to bother with that bastard of his father anymore."

Cough~

Gu Xiuyuan choked a little.

Ji Shuyu quickly helped the "wronged" old lady sit down, and then quickly signaled: "Auntie, go and clean up the guest bedroom."

The aunt went upstairs quickly to destroy the evidence of the two people living together.

"Why did you come here by yourself without your aunt?" Ji Shuyu scolded. "Don't do that next time."

The old man was criticized and felt wronged. He then pouted and said, "It's all your fault. You haven't come back to see me for a long time." The old man looked like he was about to cry. "There's no one to accompany me at home."

Ji Shuyu immediately blamed herself after hearing this. She had been immersed in her own misery for a while and had completely ignored her grandmother.

"Grandma~" Ji Shuyu leaned over and hugged the old lady, patting her back soothingly. "It's all my fault. I won't do this again in the future."

Looking at Ji Shuyu who was blaming herself for her grandmother's depression, Gu Xiuyuan rubbed his brows.

Grandma's trick can only fool her, but it works every time.

Gu Xiuyuan coaxed his grandmother for a few words, then carried the box upstairs.

The box was very small, and it didn't look like it was brought here on a whim or in a hurry.

She must have suspected their relationship since the last time she was hospitalized, and coupled with what happened at the previous party, grandma looked childish but knew everything in her heart.

…

The old man's sudden arrival disrupted all of Ji Shuyu's rhythm.

She put her grandmother's things away bit by bit, trying to place them in the same place she was used to at home.

She thought that in the short term, she would find a youth hostel to stay in, and after working for a while, she would find a roommate like Xiao V, so that she would not have nowhere to go after get off work.

She thought, among all the lights in the houses, there must be one that belongs to her, but...

She just wanted to start over, why was it so difficult!

When Gu Xiuyuan walked into the guest room, Ji Shuyu was staring out the window in a daze.

Seeing what she was thinking, he couldn't explain how he felt.

She seemed eager to escape from here, very eager.

Without him knowing, she had already planned so much in her mind.

She had been planning to leave a long time ago, hadn't she?
