It's already evening, and the air is damp and chilly.

Mu Xiaocheng, however, did not feel cold at all.

At this moment, Ji Huaishen was all she could think about.

She was certain that Ji Huaishen was back.

Not far from her, a man in a black trench coat was walking away from her with his back to her, not walking very fast.

That figure was all too familiar to Mu Xiaocheng.

A smile spread across her face as she excitedly ran towards the retreating figure.

He really came back!

Just then, a black car suddenly stopped in front of Ji Huaishen.

The car door was opened.

Mu Xiaocheng recognized the person who opened the car door.

It's Zhou Xinlan.

She stood there silently, stunned, watching Ji Huaishen turn around and give her a cold look.

That face was still the same as she remembered, but his expression was indifferent. He was too far away to see his eyes clearly. She only saw that he glanced at her indifferently, as if he hadn't seen her at all.

He turned around and got into the car.

Mu Xiaocheng's heart tightened, and she called out in his direction, "Ji Huaishen!"

Her voice was very loud.

But the car didn't stop.

Cold and ruthless.

Mu Xiaocheng felt terrible and ran forward like a madwoman, chasing after the car.

He's already back, so why doesn't he come looking for her?

He clearly saw her, so why did he ignore her like a stranger?

Also, why is he with Zhou Xinlan?

Mu Xiaocheng stared intently at the car that was gradually disappearing into the distance, and even though she was already panting heavily, she wouldn't allow herself to stop.

That's her Ji Huaishen! How could he just abandon her like that!

Because she was running too fast, Mu Xiaocheng stumbled and fell on the road.

In the blink of an eye, the car had disappeared from her sight.

Zhou Xinlan sat in the driver's seat, glancing slightly at the man in the back seat.

"Don't you feel bad?"

Ji Huaishen did not answer, but his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"So that Mu Xiaocheng can see you, see you with me. Do you want her to give up?"

"I didn't expect you to be so ruthless to yourself."

Zhou Xinlan said calmly, gripping the steering wheel tightly and looking straight ahead.

"She's still young and should have her own life. She doesn't need to spend her whole life with someone like me."

Ji Huaishen looked out the window, but what came to mind was the image of her running behind him.

She's such a delicate person.

Yet they chased after that car for so long.

That fall must have hurt a lot, right?

Ji Huaishen's eyes darkened, and he simply closed them, unwilling to think about anything.

But everything about her came rushing in like a raging flood.

"You have low self-esteem."

Zhou Xinlan's tone was very confident.

Only in front of someone you like will you feel inferior and insecure because of your flaws.

Ji Huaishen didn't say anything; he sat in the back seat, unusually quiet.

Zhou Xinlan suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart and said softly, "You saw her too. She likes you so much, and perhaps only you can give her the life she wants."

"No one else could do that."

"Just like you are to her."

Zhou Xinlan felt that she might really be going crazy.

As Mu Xiaocheng's rival in love, she should have been secretly pleased at this moment.

Unexpectedly, she felt sorry for him.

She didn't want to see Ji Huaishen like this, because the Ji Huaishen she liked wasn't like this.
