These damn large slippers!

A slipper was thrown out, and I stood in front of Ji Qiuchen with my left foot bare, a little embarrassed.

Ji Qiuchen's face looked like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Her lips were tightly pursed, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of her eyes.

I coughed and jumped to get to the slippers. Ji Qiuchen pressed me to sit on the bed, bent down and picked up the slippers that were still stuck at the door, and placed them at my feet.

Ji Qiuchen squatted in front of me, holding his hands on the edge of the mattress, and looking up at me. Before the ceiling lights in the room could be turned on, only the dim light on the bedside was on. Under the soft orange light, Ji Qiuchen's eyes were dark and bright, and I felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it.

"Uh...you, sit down, do you want to drink water? I'll give you a bottle of water..." I acted to stand up, trying to leave the narrow range he had circled. Before his butt could leave the mattress, he was held down by Ji Qiuchen.

I heard him sigh extremely lightly, then stood up and sat down next to me, "I don't drink water, let's talk."

"Yeah." I nodded gently and moved a little to the side without hesitation, "Okay, you said."

Ji Qiuchen turned his face and glanced at me, his eyes darkened, but he didn't say anything. The room suddenly became very quiet, and I seemed to hear my slightly rapid breathing and a slightly accelerated heartbeat.

This is not the rhythm of my heart, but the nervousness. Even my own is surprised. The solitary relationship with Ji Qiuchen actually makes me panic. Are he and I already so unfamiliar with this?

I didn't know what Ji Qiuchen was thinking, he just stared at me straight. Suddenly, he raised one hand and stretched it out to me. I instinctively retreated, and his hand froze in the air.

After a moment of being stunned, Ji Qiuchen smiled bitterly, "Chuxia, are you guarding against me now?"

Ji Qiuchen's sad expression and low tone made me feel depressed, "I... no, I just... I'm not used to this now."

"Are you not used to such intimacy, or are you not used to me?" Ji Qiuchen said quietly, even his eyes becoming a little sad.

What Li Ya said suddenly flashed in my mind. If Zhou Yelin had not married her, even if she was not happy enough now, at least she would not be more miserable than she is now. She and Zhou Yelin were a mistake from the beginning.

Ji Qiuchen is someone I have loved for seven years. Even if our relationship cannot end well, at least I shouldn’t let him fall into such a miserable situation one day.

"...Ji Qiuchen" I took a breath and pressed down the bitterness in my chest. "...I'm already with Xu Binwei, so..."

So what, I didn't say, because I didn't know if it was to let him forget me or stay away from me.

Ji Qiuchen and I sat side by side, and no one spoke, as if the silence of the room would break the tranquility of the room with a sound, and even the air became cautious. After a long period of silence, Ji Qiuchen's voice suddenly cut through the calm appearance of the room.

"Do you love Xu Binwei?"

"Yeah." I responded gently and firmly.

Ji Qiuchen turned his face to face me, and his deep eyes locked me firmly, "Even if you know that I have never changed to you, you still refuse to forgive me? Early summer, you are not the only one who has been separated for the past three years, I am also suffering, but I hope we can have a better future and our future life can be more secure... I don't want you to suffer with me."

"...I'm sorry." I lowered my eyes and looked at my fingers, "Ji Qiuchen, even if you say something to me wait for you to come back when you leave, our ending may be different. But at that time you left so resolutely, don't say that you didn't want to delay me, ask yourself, will you really be back if you have firm beliefs? Is it because you don't let me wait for you because you have no confidence in the future, and you are not sure that if I wait, I will be able to wait for you?"

"Ji Qiuchen, in fact, from the moment you decided to go abroad, you have not connected me with you."

When Ji Qiuchen told me that the moment he was not with Rong Zhishan, there was endless joy in my heart, because I found that my relationship for so many years was not wasted.

But while being happy, this inexplicable loss spread, I never understood what that loss was. Later I realized that it was because I found that the obstacle between Ji Qiuchen and I was not Xu Binwei. In fact, as early as when Ji Qiuchen chose to leave, we completely cut off the rope connecting each other. Even if we barely tied a knot, the lump would always be there and would not disappear.

Ji Qiuchen stood up indifferently, walked slowly to the door, pressed his hand on the door handle and paused to me, "I guessed it would be like this. When I sent you and Xu Binwei back that day, I knew it, but if I didn't fight for it, it seemed that I wouldn't be willing to... Although I still find it difficult to accept it now, I will be fine, Chuxia, don't worry."

I had many dreams this night, and the dreams were repeated over and over again. The past and present were the two of them changing their expressions in front of me in turn, torturing my nerves and not being at peace.

Fortunately, there were no arrangements the next day, so I slept until I woke up when I was about to have lunch.

Because everyone is leaving in the afternoon, lunch is also very simple. After dinner, someone suggested taking a few photos. Those who can be together this year may not be able to appear next year, and it may be difficult to meet again in the future. Everyone agreed to the requirements for taking photos.

I chose the best scenery in the villa. The green bamboos concealed the high and low rockery. We squeezed into the same picture. With a click, the smiling face of twenty-five years old was frozen.

When everyone started to hug each other until another, Zhou Lu suddenly shouted loudly: "Li Ya, you have been married for more than two years, why don't you have a child?"

My heart suddenly jumped and I had a bad premonition.

Li Ya has never said a word to Zhou Lu since she came here yesterday, and she didn't even give her a wink. With Zhou Lu's personality of holding a grudge, it would definitely be no good for her to come to Li Ya on her own initiative.

Li Ya glanced at her and replied lazily: "What does it have to do with you? We are legal couples and can have children at any time. I am not waiting to rely on children to share property."

Everyone knew Li Ya's implicit meaning. Seeing Zhou Lu's face change, Zhao Ying hurried up to hug Li Ya, "Li Ya, did you drive here? I want to make your car and take me to the station."
