Chapter 25
After a long time, the sky was completely dark, so dark that the boundary between the sea and the sky was almost indistinguishable.
"Wang Kelly."
"what?"
"I'm so cold."
“…” Wang Kelly took off her coat generously and threw it on Xia Ruirui.
Xia Ruirui put it on without any hesitation: "Let's go, it's time to go back for dinner."
"Why, are you worried about your Shen Yuqing rehearsal?"
"..." Xia Ruirui spat at her, "I'm just hungry."
Wang Kelly looked disgusted, but she pushed her wheelchair faster.
When they arrived at the main venue, the rehearsal was almost over and Shen Yuqing was sitting in the corner looking at his phone.
Wang Kelly pushed her next to Shen Yuqing and teased: “Mr. Shen, I sent the person here.”
Shen Yuqing had noticed it as soon as they came in, and upon hearing this, he just curled his lips and smiled friendly at Kelly Wang.
Wang Kaili looked at Xia Ruirui and said, "I'm leaving."
"Bye-Bye."
After Wang Kelly left, Shen Yuqing looked at Xia Ruirui: “Have you eaten?”
Before she could answer, Xia Ruirui's stomach started to growl.
“…”
“…”
Shen Yuqing glanced at her with a mocking look in his eyes, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was hard to suppress.
He turned around and told his assistant to go to the dinner party by themselves. He also gave them his bank card and told them to swipe it when they had dinner.
"Thank you, boss."
"Thank you, Brother Shen."
He stood up with a faint smile and pushed Xia Ruirui towards the back door.
"Goodbye, Sister Ruirui."
Xia Ruirui heard the voice, looked at them, smiled and waved: "See you next time."
After leaving the main venue, Xia Ruirui used her own hands and feet to get on the passenger seat. Chen Yuqing did not stop her and closed the door for her.
In the car, Shen Yuqing drove very steadily, and Xia Ruirui fell asleep after a while: "Shen Yuqing, call me when we get there."
He glanced at her, his eyes especially gentle where she couldn't see: "Okay."
When they arrived at her house, Shen Yuqing didn't call her, but parked the car in the parking lot and watched her sleep quietly.
After a long time, Xia Ruirui finally woke up. She opened her eyes drowsily and looked at her cell phone. It was already nine o'clock in the evening.
I'm still in Shen Yuqing's car...
Seeing that she woke up, Shen Yuqing got out of the car as if nothing had happened and took the wheelchair out.
He pushed her up to the apartment building and expertly opened the combination lock.
Xia Ruirui was still feeling a little sleepy, but when she saw him open the combination lock of her house without any hindrance, she was shocked.
“No, Shen Yuqing, how do you know the password to my house?”
Shen Yuqing glanced at her indifferently: "Your password is too simple."
He was still a little worried: "You'd better change the password to something more complicated, otherwise it will be easy for others to guess it."
Xia Ruirui answered as a matter of course: "But I can't remember complicated ones."
'You can set it to my birthday.'
'Just like me.'
But he didn't say it, just looked deeply at the back of her head.
After entering the apartment, Xia Ruirui thought Shen Yuqing was about to leave. Just as she was about to close the door, she was stopped by a hand.
"I didn't have dinner either." Shen Yuqing looked down at her, looking pitiful.
Xia Ruirui sat in a wheelchair, her fingers clenched tightly under her coat.
She blinked and pretended not to know: "Then I'll order takeout for you."
Shen Yuqing glanced at her dimly: “It’s not healthy outside.”
“…” Xia Ruirui let go of the door handle and let him push the door in.
After Shen Yuqing closed the door at the entrance, she got up from the wheelchair and limped into the bedroom.
Shen Yuqing ignored her, put on an apron and skillfully cooked in the kitchen.
In the bedroom, Xia Ruirui listened to the sound of Shen Yuqing washing vegetables outside through the door, feeling a little uncomfortable.
She doesn't want to.
Shen Yuqing, she has already given up.
She knew that Shen Yuqing seemed to like her a little bit, and she also realized his thoughts.
But she didn't want herself and Shen Yuqing to become like Xia's mother and father. She would rather be like a coward and stay as friends with him.
She hopes that the self in Shen Yuqing’s memory is beautiful.
But the closer she got to Shen Yuqing, the more vivid the boy in her memory became.
She didn't seem to have forgotten him either.
After discovering this, Xia Ruirui was so frightened that she just wanted to run away.
But what she didn't expect was that when she escaped to Beiyi, Shen Yuqing actually chased her to Beiyi.
She hugged her knees and stared blankly at the closed door.
After a while, the sound of cooking stopped and the footsteps outside the door gradually became clearer.
The door was pushed open.
"Xia Ruirui, it's time to eat."
She looked at someone leaning against the door frame, her consciousness a little hazy: "Okay."
Shen Yuqing glanced at her and left.
At the dining table, the two of them sat face to face. Xia Ruirui looked at the cola chicken wings in front of her, and suddenly all distractions disappeared.
She picked up a chicken wing, skillfully peeled off the skin with her teeth, and took a bite.
It’s really delicious.
Because she was too comfortable, she relaxed her guard and her eyes narrowed unconsciously: “Shen Yuqing, how come your cooking is so delicious?”
Looking at the soup hanging on the corner of someone's mouth, Shen Yuqing chuckled: "I made it according to the tutorial on the Internet."
“…”
Xia Ruirui stopped gnawing on the chicken wings, and her mind flashed back to when she went to the vocational school for training in her first year of high school.
At that time, it was obviously the first time for everyone to make a cake.
The teacher taught it once, and Shen Yuqing succeeded.
Everyone was stunned, including the teacher who was in charge of guiding them.
But someone looked calm and composed, as if wondering why they all failed.
She still remembered how annoying Shen Yuqing was at that time.
The teacher asked him how he baked the cake successfully, and he said, I just did it the way you demonstrated just now.
No wonder.
Shen Yuqing was the top scorer in the college entrance examination of their class, and it was even reported in the newspapers.
Besides, it’s just cooking.
Just follow the tutorial.
Thinking of the failed Snow Meiniang she had tried some time ago, Xia Ruirui's expression became a little grim.
She clearly followed the tutorial! Why did her Snow Meringue fail?
In order to ensure the accuracy of the ingredients, she even bought a milligram-level electronic scale, but the snow meringue she made turned out to be extremely sticky.
Because I was worried that the intestines would stick to it, the snow meringue that I spent an entire afternoon making ended up in the trash.
Is the gap between people really that big?
She raised her eyes to look at Shen Yuqing, and hesitated to speak: “Shen Yuqing.”
"What's wrong?"
"..." Xia Ruirui paused, "Nothing."
Seeing that she was silent, Shen Yuqing spoke: “Xia Ruirui.”
"What's wrong?"
After not hearing any response from the other party for a long time, she finally raised her head from her bowl.
Shen Yuqing looked at her and uttered a few words after a while: “Nothing.”
"..." Realizing that the other party was deliberately retaliating for her hesitation, Xia Ruirui couldn't help but said, "Chen Yuqing, you are so childish."
He raised an eyebrow but didn't deny it.
After that, the two of them tacitly remained silent.
After dinner, Shen Yuqing picked up his coat, stood at the door, glanced at her, as if waiting for her to say goodbye to him.
But Xia Ruirui resisted the urge to look back.
She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she heard the door close.
After Shen Yuqing left, Xia Ruirui sat at the dining table, in a daze.

On the other hand, Wang Kelly consulted a lawyer the next day after parting with Xia Ruirui.
The lawyer was also very efficient and had drafted a divorce agreement two days later.
In the villa, Wang Kelly sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the divorce agreement in her hand, a little dazed.
She has already signed her name in the column of the agreement. As long as Lao Li also signs his name, the agreement will take effect.
The two of them are officially divorced.
Taking a deep breath, Kelly Wang mustered up her courage and went downstairs with the agreement.
In the living room, the father and son were playing chess, chatting and laughing.
She walked over and sat next to Lao Li, watching the father and son playing chess calmly.
The stepson Li Xiang opposite glared at her, his eyes full of obvious provocation.
Mr. Li glanced at her with a gentle look: "Lily, what's wrong?"
Wang Kaili handed him the divorce agreement, her eyes calm, and she forced a smile: "Lao Li, let's get a divorce. I'll leave the house with nothing."
Mr. Li's hand holding the chess piece trembled a little, and he looked up at her with complicated eyes: "...Lily."
Looking at the fine lines at the corners of Lao Li's eyes, Wang Kaili felt a little sad: "Let's get a divorce."
Mr. Li still wanted to save the relationship, but his stepson next to him readily agreed on his behalf.
"You're sensible, but don't even think about taking a penny from our family."
Mr. Li looked at his son disapprovingly and stood up to coax his wife, who was a dozen years younger than him.
"Lily, stop it. Ah Xiang is still young. Don't bother with him."
Wang Kelly turned around and looked at him seriously: "Lao Li, I am serious."
Perhaps realizing his wife's determination, he opened his lips and said, "Let me think about it."
Wang Kelly nodded, without looking at the two of them again, and went back to the bedroom to pull out the suitcase she had packed yesterday.
"Lao Li, I'm leaving now. Remember to send me a signed copy."
Mr. Li watched her leave silently, without trying to keep her, and pulled his son's hand with some force.
Stepson Li Xiang felt his father's emotions and looked at Wang Kelly with even more resentment.
It's all because of this woman.
On the other side, Wang Kelly dragged her suitcase out of the villa area.
When she walked out of the villa gate, she felt unusually light and cheerful, as if she had taken off a huge restraint.
The more carefree you are when you leave, the more embarrassed you will be when you stand at the intersection.
Because Lao Li hosted the e-sports league, they moved to the villa in Beiyi at the beginning of the month.
Being in a strange city and penniless, Wang Kelly didn't know where to go.
After thinking for a long time, she took a taxi to Jingyuan and arrived at Xia Ruirui's apartment. She stood in front of the door for a long time without knocking.
She squatted at the door of the apartment, and the cold marble made her mood drop to the lowest point.
Just as Wang Kaili was considering whether to stay in a motel for the night, the door to the apartment opened...
It was Xia Ruirui who opened the door.
