Chapter 108 - Leaving Home (1/2)

Yu Huiyin did not pay attention to Xie Jingyu. She did not try to talk to him, but she did not try to escape from his embrace either. She was like a wooden doll.

Seeing her like this did not relax Xie Jingyu's suspended heart at all; instead, he felt even more nervous and hugged her tighter.

But the sleepiness quickly assaulted both of them, and soon Yu Huiyin and Xie Jingyu fell asleep.

It was Xie Jingyu who woke up first. The first thing he did upon opening his eyes was to look at Yu Huiyin and check whether or not she was okay, but upon seeing her sleeping face, he knew that, while she had not eaten or drunk anything for a whole day, she was not too weak.

He looked at the time, and he noticed they had slept for longer than planned. He gently nudged Yu Huiyin, waking her up with tenderness and affection, but he dared not kiss her.

He could still feel her anger towards him, so it would be better not to overstep her boundaries.

Yu Huiyin looked at Xie Jingyu, but there was no joy in her eyes. She slowly woke up and climbed out of bed.

She picked some clothes, went to the bathroom where she washed up and changed, before she went down the stairs to the dining room and sat down, waiting for the food to be served.

The food was quickly on the table, and she dug in. She never lifted her head from her plate from when she began eating, and until she finished. She was hungry, but she was not in a hurry to eat; she ate with elegance and refinement.

The more he saw her like this, the more Xie Jingyu felt that something was utterly wrong, but what could he do about it? She was not speaking to him! In fact, he would have preferred that she threw a tantrum at him, that she yelled at him and tried to beat him up, but she was too calm. Too controlled.

Yu Huiyin did not wait for Xie Jingyu to finish eating before she left the table. She was calmly walking up the stairs to her room, and Xie Jingyu thought that she was just going to rest again. She had, after all, not gotten enough rest yet.

However, an hour later, he heard a strange sound of something being dragged down the stairs, and upon looking out the study door, he saw Yu Huiyin dressed in her coat, dragging a suitcase behind her.

His heart suddenly slowed down, he felt as if it fell to the bottom of his stomach, and his eyes constricted in pain. Was she leaving him?

He left the papers on the table and hurried to the staircase where he stood in the way of her descent.

”Move,” she said. Her voice was full of apathy, there was not the slightest fluctuation of emotion to be found, and Xie Jingyu felt so scared that he started trembling.
