Chapter 18
The small apartment was very clean. The meal she had prepared before she fell unconscious had already been cleaned up, presumably Qin Zhan had sent a cleaning lady to clean it.
As for Li Qingchen?
Haha, that scumbag male lead, besides ordering Wen Xin around and taking her kindness for granted, when has he ever shown her even the slightest bit of concern?
He had hinted to Wen Xin to rent this apartment, and he also had a key to it, so he could come and go as he pleased.
He also knew perfectly well how hard Wen Xin worked as a part-time worker and how frugal and simple her life was.
However, he never felt sorry for her or thought about helping her share the rent.
It's not that Wen Xin is after his money. Li Qingchen is a young master from a wealthy family and he's not short of money, but can he compare to the Qin family?
Wen Xin was simply heartbroken and felt it wasn't worth it for the fragments of her soul.
The small apartment has two bedrooms and one living room. The master bedroom belongs to Li Qingchen, while Wen Xin sleeps in the cramped second bedroom.
She pulled two suitcases out from under the bed and packed her clothes and other usable small items inside.
Before using the Qin family's money, Wen Xin was truly poor. Not only did she buy all her clothes from roadside stalls, but she also had very few, no more than three sets to change into each season, and her suitcase was never full.
The only pretty dress she owned was one she bought by gritting her teeth to go on a date with Li Qingchen, and what happened?
Unsurprisingly, she was stood up.
Wen Xin shook her head. It's probably true that things that are offered to you are worthless, and falling in love first is destined to lead to a complete loss.
She snapped out of her reverie and put her professional books into a cardboard box.
There weren't many things, but by the time she finished packing, it was almost 3 p.m.
Wen Xin stood up with numb legs, swaying slightly, feeling extremely hungry.
When she was a goddess, she didn't have the habit of eating, and I almost forgot that she's an ordinary person now.
It was because Qin Zhan had taken meticulous care of her every need when she was at the villa that she became almost unable to take care of herself in such a short time.
Wen Xin sighed. People really can be spoiled, especially someone as doting as Qin Zhan, who practically wanted to feed her.
Thinking of Qin Zhan, hmm?
Wen Xin frowned slightly and took out her phone from her pocket.
Her brother hasn't contacted her for half a day?
Are you that busy?
Then, Wen Xin discovered... that her phone had been turned off at some point?
Huh?
Um, it seems she really didn't charge her phone all day yesterday.
Wen Zhushen stared at the ceiling, utterly impressed with his own absent-mindedness.
Thinking back, it seemed that Qin Zhan always helped her charge her phone whenever it ran out of battery.
Wen Xin silently covered her face. How could she have fallen to such a state?
After reflecting for a few seconds, Wen Xin pulled out the charging cable she had previously kept in the small apartment. It was the one she had bought for Li Qingchen, and it happened to have the same interface, so it could be used.
"Master, Little King Kong went to see a great show with the male lead."
Xiao Jin ran off to watch the commotion and came back, happily circling around Wen Xin.
Wen Xin glanced at it speechlessly, "You shouldn't be called Xiao Jin, you should be called Xiao Ba, the 'ba' in 'gossip'!"
Little Gold protests: "Master is bullying the butterfly!"
Xiao Ba is so awful!
Wen Xin remained silent. Could it be that Xiao Jin's music was any better?
Little Gold snorted arrogantly, "Little Gold originally wanted to tell Master several important things, but now Little Gold won't say them."
Unless its owner coaxes it.
Wen Xin lowered her head, her bright almond-shaped eyes staring blankly at a certain silly butterfly.
Xiao Jin… Xiao Jin burst into tears, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk, okay?”
Who scares butterflies like that?
At that moment, Wen Xin's phone also turned on, and a bunch of message notification sounds came through.
All of them were missed calls and WeChat messages from Qin Zhan.
Wen Xin: I have a bad feeling!
Little Gold fluttered its butterfly wings and landed on the screen, its tone undisguisedly gloating, "Master, Little Gold just saw Big Brother standing downstairs, hmm, he looked like an ice sculpture."
Wen Xin: "..."
"Xiao Jin".
Wen Xin called out to it in a gentle voice.
Xiao Jin immediately cowered and shut up!
Wen Xin put on her down jacket, grabbed her umbrella, and ran quickly downstairs. At the same time, a certain silly butterfly was also swung against the window and smashed into a butterfly specimen.
Xiao Jin: Waaaaaah... Someone's abusing Butterfly here!
The owner must not love it anymore; it doesn't want to live anymore!
...
Qin Zhan had been standing downstairs at the apartment building for who knows how long.
He called her immediately after his meeting in the morning, intending only to remind her to eat lunch on time, but she said her phone was off.
He called the villa, and the housekeeper told him that she had left after he left.
Qin Zhan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and his head buzzing.
What do you mean she left?
Why did she leave?
Is she going to find Li Qingchen again?
Why? Why?
She had promised to spend the New Year with him!
Just like two years ago, she had said she would take him on a trip during the summer after the college entrance exam, but in the end...
Did Li Qingchen get her contact information and then try to deceive her again?
Is she never going to come back after leaving him this time?
He shouldn't have left her this morning! He shouldn't have!
Darkness, fear, regret, and pain overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, driving him insane.
The tenderness she showed him these past few days, and her closeness to him, had bewitched Qin Zhan.
He forgot that between him and Li Qingchen, she had always chosen Li Qingchen.
She'll be snatched away again if he's not careful!
How could he let his guard down again?
Unable to contain his anger, Qin Zhan took it out on Madam Qin. If it weren't for her, they would have gone out to play today, and she wouldn't have left.
But Qin Zhan hates himself the most. Why did he repeat the same mistake?
After smashing up the entire office, Qin Zhan drove alone to her apartment building.
He wanted to ask her: Do you really have to leave him?
He'll change anything as long as you point it out.
He gives her whatever she wants!
But he was also afraid to see the same resolute look in her eyes as she had two years ago.
Qin Zhan kept calling and texting her, but her phone was still off.
He was indeed abandoned by her again.
Was it because his previously revealed feelings scared her that she didn't even want to say goodbye this time?
Oh!
Qin Zhan gazed at the snowflakes falling from the sky. Some snowflakes drifted into his eyes, making them even more bloodshot.
Suddenly, he seemed to see her running towards him.
Qin Zhan gave a mocking, stiff smile, laughing at his own wishful thinking.
She doesn't want him...
"elder brother!"
Wen Xin looked at Qin Zhan, who was almost frozen into a snowman, and felt both anxious and heartbroken.
She quickly held the umbrella over his head, reached out to brush the snow off him, and touched his face and hands; the cold made her heart pound.
What are you doing?
Wen Xin glared at him angrily and pulled him toward the apartment.
Qin Zhan stared straight at her, his eyes flickering with a mixture of elation and disbelief.
Warmth spread from her hand to his heart, and the cold, world-weary feeling deep inside him dissipated.
Qin Zhan was very compliant when she pulled him.
But he had been standing in the snow for so long that his legs were almost frozen stiff, and when he tried to walk, he fell to the ground.
