Upon hearing Zhou Xinlan's words, Ji Huaishen slowly opened his eyes.

His deep, ink-black eyes held melancholy and sorrow.

The night view outside flashed by, seemingly leaving no trace.

He knew her feelings for him better than anyone else.

He knows her well enough.

If he hadn't appeared, she might have lived her whole life in memories of him.

They will never start a new life.

Only in this way can she be made to back down and realize that Ji Huaishen is not worthy of her love.

Perhaps, that's when she can start a new life.

This might not be fair to her.

But isn't that just how fate loves to play tricks on people?

Ji Huaishen lowered his eyes and looked at his right leg.

The area where the prosthesis contacts my thigh is very painful.

He only wore it for a short distance, and it started hurting.

How can he possibly get back to her like this?

He's so ugly, he doesn't deserve her.

Ji Huaishen looked out the window. The neon lights were still flashing, but the dazzling person beside him was gone.

"I used to do anything to be with her, but now..."

At this point, Ji Huaishen stopped talking.

Zhou Xinlan was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "How are things now?"

Ji Huaishen did not answer.

He closed his eyes, the pain in his legs stimulating every nerve, keeping him incredibly alert.

Now, all he wants is to give everything he has to make her forget him.

When Lu Chi found Mu Xiaocheng, he saw her sitting on the main road with her head down, looking very unwell.

His heart tightened, and he ran to her, about to speak, but then froze.

At this moment, Mu Xiaocheng sat on the ground, her head down, tears dripping onto the ground.

My palm was scraped, covered in tiny bits of skin, and blood was seeping from the wound.

At that moment, she was like an abandoned child, crying sadly and unrestrainedly.

Upon seeing Lu Chi, Mu Xiaocheng suddenly looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "He's back, he's really back."

"But it seems like he doesn't want me anymore."

“I kept running behind him and calling his name, but he didn’t stop.”

When she said those words, Mu Xiaocheng finally burst into tears.

Lu Chi knew very well who she was referring to.

Ji Huaishen.

The man who just called him was also him.

He knew he was back.

But I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Seeing Mu Xiaocheng so heartbroken, Lu Chi felt a pang of sadness.

He squatted down, his tall frame bent over, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Don't cry. Perhaps he didn't see you."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand, wanting to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

But she slipped away without leaving a trace.

Lu Chi's hand froze on the spot. He curled his lips in a self-deprecating smile and said softly, "Can you stand up by yourself?"

Mu Xiaocheng nodded, but her leg was a little sore from the fall.

He stood up shakily.

Seeing that she had stood up, Lu Chi continued, "Let's go back to the hospital first and get your injury treated."

Mu Xiaocheng suddenly took a step back, looked at him, and said in a muffled voice, "I want to go find him."

Her voice was soft, with a heartbreaking sob in it.

Lu Chi felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he didn't know how to answer.

In the end, he compromised.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Upon hearing Lu Chi's reply, Mu Xiaocheng quickly nodded: "Then let's go now."

Lu Chi had no choice but to nod.
