My rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and the images from the nightmare faded from my mind.

Chu Jinnian let out a long breath.

He said "coming", lifted the quilt and went into the bathroom.

While washing my face, I saw the ring on my ring finger.

Chu Jinnian raised his eyes and saw the man smiling foolishly in the mirror.

I opened the door and walked to the next door, which was half open.

In the air, the sweet fragrance from the bedroom and the faint aroma from the kitchen blend together and hit me in the face.

"Why are you up so early?"

Chu Jinnian walked towards the kitchen, "I'll come... OK."

Chu Jinnian was stunned as his eyes passed across Tang Mulin's face.

There was a smile on the girl's face, but it was like a mask floating on her face.

There was no smile in her eyes.

Even with a strong sense of sadness.

It seemed as if tears would burst out in the next moment.

Tang Mulin only glanced at him when he entered the door and didn't dare to look at him any more.

Avoiding his gaze, he carried the bowl to the dining table and said, "Okay, come and eat."

Although it is called plain noodles, it is actually very rich.

The plain white noodles were topped with lettuce, beef brisket, and a few slices of ham.

It’s just that the chef probably forgot whether he added salt or not, and forgot to taste the soup before serving, resulting in the noodles being too salty to swallow.

In the past, if the food was even a little bit salty, Tang Mulin would frown and push the bowl away.

But today, she ate it bite by bite, very carefully, as if it were a delicacy.

At this moment, Chu Jinnian was already certain that she was worried about something.

"Sugar..."

Chu Jinnian reached out and held her hand, taking away the chopsticks and bowl, "Tell me what happened, okay?"

Tang Mulin gritted his teeth, looked up at Chu Jinnian and said, "Chu Jinnian, let's separate."

The man looked calm.

Only his taut jawline showed his unrest.

After a long time, Chu Jinnian got up, picked up two bowls and went to the kitchen.

I could hear him dumping the noodles into the sink and turning on the faucet and the processor.

Amid the rumbling sound, he washed two bowls and put the dishes and chopsticks into the sterilizer.

When he came back, he squatted in front of Tang Mulin and grabbed her hand, "Sugar, tell me what happened, and we will face it together, okay?"

not good.

The tears have long been wiped away, and the heart has frozen into ice.

Tang Mulin took his hand back, "My parents said that you and I are not suitable."

"We all know what you did, don't we? ... It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Rather than being heartbroken in the future, it's better to separate now. ... Go back to Sicheng and don't come to Paris again. Let's... never meet again!"

I don’t know where such a weak girl got so much strength from.

He actually dragged him up from the ground and pushed him out the door.

Blocking his view, the password was changed with a ticking sound.

Tang Mulin stood inside the door, sniffed, and smiled at Chu Jinnian: "Brother Jinnian, you know, I have always been very good and listened to my parents. You can treat Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu like that, but I can't. Forget me, let's... not meet again."

Every word was like a knife, stabbing his heart.

Chu Jinnian looked at Tang Mulin with a gloomy expression as he slowly disappeared through the door.

He turned around and rushed to the next door without looking back.

The footsteps faded away, and Tang Mulin, who was leaning against the door, slid down little by little and collapsed on the ground.

Tears fell like rain.
