He pursed his lips, his expression growing colder and colder, and ultimately he didn't continue.
After I finished dressing, he stood up and said directly, "I'm leaving, I have things to take care of."
I was stunned. "You're just going to leave like this?"
"Then how do we get there?" he asked, turning back. "Or should we do it again?"
"..." I bit my lip and whispered, "That's not what I meant... I thought you were waiting for me to wake up because you had something to say."
"Was what I said useful? Will you change your mind?"
"..." Okay, it's no use, I won't change my mind.
He stared intently at me, as if hoping to hear what he wanted to hear from me.
However, no.
He turned around, opened the bedroom door, and went out.
My heart ached, and I couldn't bear the pain of losing him any longer. I suddenly called out, "Su Shenglin!"
He didn't stop and continued walking towards the living room.
"Su Shenglin, did you hear me?!" I shouted again, enraged and embarrassed.
He then stopped and turned to look at me: "What are you doing?"
"I..." I moved my mouth several times, wanting to go back on my word, but reason held me back.
Finally, something suddenly popped into my head, and I quickly said, "Wait for me, I'm looking for my phone."
I ran back to my bedroom, then to the living room, and searched for a while before finally pulling my phone out of my coat pocket.
Su Shenglin stared at me, his face full of confusion. "What exactly do you want to do?"
I turned on my phone's camera, walked up to him, and pulled him closer.
"Let's take some photos!" That way, when I miss him too much, I can look at the photos to keep myself going.
Su Shenglin frowned, "I won't film!"
“Take some pictures! When I was on a business trip in Milan, Xu Qianning subtly provoked me by deliberately putting her phone in front of me. The lock screen picture was a profile picture of you! Why can she have your photos, but I, her official girlfriend, don’t? I have to take some pictures today, from every angle!”
I pulled him along, adjusting the angle as I indignantly explained.
Su Shenglin kept staring at me.
We were very close; I could feel his hot breath.
He cruelly reminded me: "You're already my ex-girlfriend."
"So what if she's my ex-girlfriend? I wanted to take pictures the day Xu Qianning provoked me, but you weren't there for me. You owe me this, and you have to make it up to me!" I grabbed him, pulled him closer, and ordered, "Get closer to me!"
Give me a kiss.
"Okay, now it's my turn to kiss you."
"Come on, let's have a kiss."
I held the camera in one hand, pointing it at the two of us, and grabbed his clothes with the other, as if afraid he would escape.
So I forced him to take more than ten selfies with me, from all angles and in all poses.
I looked them over and nodded repeatedly: "Hmm, they're pretty good, they're all very handsome."
"Jiang Wan, how can you be so heartless?" He stared at me, his voice filled with resentment as he asked the question.
I continued nonchalantly, "Because only by being nonchalant could I survive in that kind of family."
After saying that, I walked to the living room door and opened the security door myself. "You're unlucky to have run into me. Second Master Su, please make yourself at home."
He was still standing in the same spot, his gaze as deep as the dark sea, surging with waves.
I dare not look.
The myna bird ran over excitedly, even carrying its leash, thinking we could go downstairs for a walk.
I gently nudged it with my foot. "Myna, stop fooling around."
Su Shenglin snapped out of his daze and walked step by step toward the door.
The myna birds chirped around him, but he didn't even glance at them and walked straight out the door.
They didn't even stop when they brushed past me.
As I watched his retreating figure, tears instantly filled my eyes and streamed down my face.
As he waited for the elevator, his profile remained aloof and calm, exuding an air of handsome nobility yet unapproachable detachment.
I kept shouting in my heart, "Su Shenglin, Su Shenglin..."
When the elevator arrived, he walked straight into the car without turning his head.
He left my world just like that, decisively and without hesitation.
"Su Shenglin, Su Shenglin!" I finally couldn't hold back my cries and cried out. My whole body was weak and I had no strength left. I just squatted at the door of my house, sobbing and trembling.
————
I am sick.
I suddenly developed a high fever that lasted for several days.
If Li Yunwei hadn't been unable to reach me by phone and hadn't come to my house and banged on the door in time, I probably would have been sleeping soundly at home.
"What's wrong? Your eyes are as red as a rabbit's." She asked worriedly, then reached out and touched my forehead, startled. "You have a fever! A fever like this!"
"It's nothing, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep." I was in a daze, and as I turned to go back to my bedroom, Li Yunwei stopped me.
"Come on, let's go see a doctor! Look at you, you look like a ghost!"
Li Yunwei forcibly dragged me out of the house and took me to the hospital.
The doctor examined the patient and diagnosed pneumonia, requiring hospitalization.
I kept wailing.
This is the first time in my life I've been sick and hospitalized.
Li Yunwei helped me with the formalities and took me to the inpatient department to report for duty.
By sheer coincidence, she ran into her former love rival again in the corridor.
Xu Qianning was carrying a thermos, so it seemed she was also there to deliver food to the hospital.
Seeing me, she was also taken aback, then laughed, "Jiang Wan? What happened to you? Did you fall ill from the heartbreak?"
I couldn't be bothered with her, so I rolled my eyes and walked away.
But having finally seen me in such a disheveled state, how could she let this opportunity pass? She turned around and chased after me, saying, "You and Su Shenglin are really in love. He's been sick these past few days, but he's resting at home."
