C188 (2/2)

But soon I realized that if I came back here again, there would be nowhere to run!

What is to come will come, no matter how much I resist or evade it, it will never change. There was a time when there was a time between him and me.

Since it started with me, it should end with me.

However, as long as the day that I met him face to face didn't come, I could continue to pretend that nothing had happened.

Suddenly, my cell phone rang.

I set the old phone aside and picked up the one I'm using now.

The caller ID is an unknown number, my mind was in a mess, could it be Jiang Yu? You got my contact information so quickly?

I can feel my heart pounding in my chest. What is it doing?!

I held my breath and answered the phone.

”Hey …”

I felt my voice tremble.

”Xiao Ye, long time no see.”

The familiar bass cannon, full of concern for me. In an instant, my tense heart relaxed.

For some reason, I suddenly felt a faint sense of loss in my heart.

What am I losing?!

Wasn't Jiang Yu the better for me?

”Xiao Ye, are you listening?”

My heart was still struggling nonstop for Jiang Yu, but was suddenly interrupted by Zhou Zijin's voice.

”Sorry, I was distracted.”

”How did you get my number?”

This cell phone number was just changed after I returned back home, so other than Ming Yu and Jiang Yueluo, no one else knew.

But I know that Zhou Zijin has the ability to get my cell phone number and all the news about me, if he wants to.

”I saw the news of your return in the newspaper. I'm guessing you'll contact Mingyu immediately, so …”

That damn brat Ming Yu! He told Zhou Zijin not to listen to him!

”Don't blame him. I forced him to tell me.”

Zhou Zijin seemed to have guessed what I was thinking and for a moment, I didn't know what to say.

”Anyway, I'm glad you're back. We haven't seen each other in a long time. Let's have a meal together tomorrow. ”

”Alright.”

After chatting a bit more with Zhou Zijin, they hung up.

The next day, I entrusted the child to Jiang Yueluo to take care of and tidied up a bit. At this time, Ming Yu suddenly ran in happily.

”Sis!” Guess who's here! ”

I followed him into the living room as soon as I was done.

”Why are you here?” I am also very happy to see Zhou Zijin.

”What? You don't welcome me?”

”No, no. Come in quickly.”

I called to him, pouring him a cup of tea.

”Didn't we agree to meet at the dining area? I didn't expect you to come over.”

Zhou Zijin sat on the sofa, and I sat down.

”It's been a while. I want to see how you've been doing.”

He stared into my face as he spoke.

”Xiao Ye, you've lost weight.”

”I've been busy recently. It's normal for me to get skinnier.” I could hear the pain in his voice.

But I don't need to be pitied.

”I've pretty much packed up, let's go.
