Night.

In the guest room.

Ye Chu was lying on the bed, thinking of Xiao Beichen's bruised arms, blushing and being stunned by his kiss, and despising himself for staying here again.

He didn't want to admit it anymore, but he couldn't. He didn't want to leave Xiao Beichen at all. He always swore to himself that he would never see Xiao Beichen again, while secretly finding excuses to convince himself to stay.

This feeling was really tormenting.

He checked the time and called his classmate and best friend He Linzhi listlessly.

Linzhi was the business director of a company in the capital. She had been on a business trip abroad for more than a month and was very busy. It seemed that Linzhi didn't know about what happened between her and Xiao Beichen during this period.

"My baby, how come you have time to call me?" Linzhi's full voice was full of surprise.

Ye Chu pursed his lips and smiled: "I miss you."

"Hey, don't give me that, don't I know you? If you have something to say, just say it, I'm busy."

Ye Chu was a little depressed. He had a lot of things to tell her, but he didn't know how to start.

Lin Zhi on the other end immediately noticed that something was wrong with her and said seriously: "Did you have a fight with Xiao Beichen?"

Ye Chu said sullenly: "He's getting engaged."

The microphone was quiet for a while, and then Lin Zhi's voice came again: "It's okay, anyway, I knew this would be the result. Xiao Beichen is a proud man, and we are not from the same world. Tell me, what have you been through recently."

Ye Chu smiled bitterly silently and slowly told her about what happened recently.

After she finished speaking, Lin Zhi on the other end of the microphone was silent for a while before speaking.

"It's normal for you to be reluctant. Don't always blame yourself for being weak-willed. First, you are not a mistress. Second, isn't Xiao Beichen not engaged yet?"

"You and Xiao Beichen have been in love for three years. How can you let go of him just like that? You have to give yourself some time to recover. Just live one day at a time. Anyway, when he is really engaged, someone from the Xiao family will definitely come looking for you. Then you will have to leave even if you don't want to. Alas!"

At last, He Linzhi sighed heavily and had nothing to say.

Ye Chu knew that love was not something that could be comforted. In the end, you still had to get over it on your own. Letting go of a relationship is a torturous process.

"Let's not talk about these unhappy things. Let me tell you about a weird man."

"Okay."

"I saw him at a cocktail party two days ago. I have never seen such an arrogant and domineering man. That stinky man is Li Moqian, the heir of the Li family in the imperial capital. Many girls threw themselves at him when he appeared. Guess what Li Moqian did?"

"I can't guess. You tell me."

"Not only did he ridicule her directly, he also poured wine on the head of one of the rich girls who was about to throw herself at him. Oh, it's really too bad."

Ye Chu smiled: "I didn't know you were a person who got angry and sighed when seeing injustice on the road. Are you also fascinated by others?"

"Tsk! I didn't, it's just that Li Moqian was indeed a bit too much. Although the girl was a bit impatient, as a man, he should also be a gentleman, right..."

Linzhi said a lot. Ye Chu was obviously absent-minded and responded from time to time. However, listening to the voice of his best friend, he felt warm in his heart.

The two of them talked in this way, knowing each other's thoughts. They chatted for about an hour, and then He Linzhi hung up the phone because she was really busy.

The space became lonely again.

Ye Chu stared at the ceiling for a while, and began to worry about Xiao Beichen's arm again. He felt particularly irritated and couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen to the movements in the master bedroom across the wall.

However, the soundproofing of the house was top-notch, so Ye Chu could not hear anything, but Xiao Beichen in the master bedroom was not asleep.

He was also chatting on the phone, which was unprecedented. The person he was talking to happened to be the strange man mentioned by He Linzhi - Li Moqian, Xiao Beichen's childhood friend and brother.
