NOVEL NEXT Chapter 267-274
Chapter 267: There’s No Justice. Only She’s Right and You’re Wrong. (7)
Trash, luck, consequences…
Those three words barged into Ji Yi’s mind as she creased her brows slightly. In her heart, she finally understood something.
If this was a minute ago, she would’ve thought he was being unreasonable. His words were easier said than done. He wasn’t her, so how would he know the extent of her problems? Deep down, she lost track of all the complaints she had against him.
But he actually described Qian Ge as “trash” and lectured her with a trembling voice on how lucky she was. When he asked her whether she thought about the consequences if something ever happened to her, she suddenly realized that he wasn’t just angry at her for causing trouble on set…
Ji Yi was hesitant for two seconds before she looked up at He Jichen with astonishment.
In this very moment, at surface level, he looked just as scary as when he used to get angry at her before. Even the words from his mouth were just as sharp and harsh…
But his lips still trembled slightly as though he was in shock and hadn’t completely recovered from the incident…
His eyes looked really vicious, but there were evident flickers of chaos and heartache.
Looking like this, he was obviously scared after what happened… She was the one who got hurt, but he was actually afraid…
So, she guessed right earlier – the main reason he was angry wasn’t because she used dirty tricks and lied to him, but because she hurt herself.
At that thought, Ji Yi’s heart quivered violently. Her eyes suddenly shot open, and in that instant, she couldn’t care less about the intense pain in her wrist under He Jichen’s force. Just like that, she stared at He Jichen blankly.
He Jichen had no idea what was going on in Ji Yi’s mind. He thought back to how he almost ruined his life because of her car accident three years ago. It was just as Qian Ge said – he cared so much for her safety. In fact, he cared so much that he wished he could take on all her little aches and pains. But what about her? She casually hurt herself, just like that?
He Jichen was so angry that his chest started to heave.
He stared at the woman and wished he could grab a tool to pry open her brain and see how it worked!
At that thought, He Jichen clenched his teeth and scolded her: “I’ve never seen someone as stupid as you in my whole life! I think not only do you have a hole in your head, it’s filled with water too! I’m not sure how you were able to survive up till now!”
His tone of voice was fierce and stern, but Ji Yi wasn’t like how she used to be. She didn’t feel fear or panic, and she didn’t think about running away from him. She kept the same stance, still blankly staring at He Jichen.
In all the years she’d known him, this was probably the first time that after hearing such horrible things from him, not only was she not annoyed, but she even felt a little warm inside.
“No wonder you…” In a fit of anger, it was natural for him to be tongue-tied. He Jichen only managed to get those three words out before he suddenly came to a stop.
He almost erupted in anger as he almost let slip: “It’s no wonder someone put you in a coma three years ago.”
To her, this must’ve been an embarrassing ordeal for her. An ordeal of betrayal, and a humiliating ordeal…
At this crucial moment, He Jichen stopped speaking as his rationality slowly returned. That was when he realized that he was lashing out at her again.
He didn’t want to be like this, but she was always able to easily anger him.
Chapter 268: There’s No Justice. Only She’s Right and You’re Wrong. (8)
The heavy sense of rage still lingered within his body. Before it could disappear, he was engulfed with an earth-shattering annoyance and agitation.
The complex mix of emotions accumulated in his body and assaulted He Jichen in a way that left him defenseless. He tightened his lips and stared at Ji Yi for a while then he suddenly let go of her hand, forcefully swung open the door, and strode out of the room with big strides.
The door was slammed shut heavily, and the room instantly calmed down.
Ji Yi leaned against the wall and stood there transfixed for some time. Minding the pain in her waist, she slowly sat down by the bedside.
Ji Yi wasn’t sure just how long she sat there for, nor was she aware of what was going through her mind. All she knew was that her mind was confused, but when she finally calmed down, she wanted to get up and go to the bathroom. Her gaze suddenly fell on the bag on the counter.
He Jichen brought those…
Ji Yi stood by the bedside for a moment before she walked over to it.
She opened the bag and saw well-packed, luxurious boxes of food for dinner.
Beside this was also a small plastic bag with several boxes of medicine. There was medicine to reduce inflammation, some vitamins, and an ointment to remove scars…
He Jichen, he… after he brought me back to the hotel room, randomly got mad and left, he didn’t just leave me here without a care in the world. He went to buy me dinner and medicine?
The film studio doesn’t have any drug stores nearby, so did he drive over to the nearest city to buy some?
Ji Yi’s heart, which had already calmed down with some difficulty, felt like it had been smashed by large stones and was stirred up by a million waves.
Before this, she wasn’t sure how He Jichen truly thought about her, but right now, as she saw the things in the bag, it was hard to believe it wasn’t true that… He Jichen, he-he actually did care about her deep down inside!
–
Suite 1001 on the top floor of the hotel.
He Jichen held a cigarette between his fingers as he had his back turned to Han Zhifan, who was sitting on the sofa. He stood in front of the tall window, staring coldly out the window.
Han Zhifan talked non-stop, but He Jichen didn’t really listen, nor was he in the mood to care. The atmosphere in the room was evidently somber.
After some time, there was a knock on the door of the suite. Following Han Zhifan’s call to enter, He Jichen’s personal secretary walked through the door with Cheng Weiwan.
When the secretary brushed past Han Zhifan, he greeted Han Zhifan before walking over to He Jichen’s side and said with his head down, “Mr. He, Miss Cheng is here. Allow her to please take care of the wound on your hand.”
He Jichen looked lost in a daze as he stared out the window without blinking for quite some time before slowly coming back to his senses and glancing over at the secretary. He looked down at his palms, wrapped in tissue.
A long time had passed, but there were still streaks of blood endlessly pouring out.
Two seconds passed before He Jichen withdrew his gaze and casually put out the cigarette between his fingers in the ashtray beside him. Then he turned and looked over at Cheng Weiwan. “First, go to room 2006 and check to see if she stopped bleeding.”
When the secretary heard this, he didn’t wait for Cheng Weiwan to respond and beat her first to say, “Mr. He, you must take care of your wound. The glass shards are still in there…”
Before the secretary could finish, He Jichen suddenly spoke with a dull voice, “I told you to go first to 2006, so go first to 2006.”
He didn’t sound that stern, but it was enough to stop the secretary from talking any further.
Chapter 269: There’s No Justice. Only She’s Right and You’re Wrong. (9)
He Jichen averted his gaze as he glanced at Cheng Weiwan. “Sorry to trouble you.”
Cheng Weiwan wasn’t pushy with He Jichen like the secretary, but she gave a gentle nod and carried the medical kit with her on her way out of He Jichen’s suite.
When Cheng Weiwan arrived, Ji Yi had only just finished the dinner He Jichen bought her. She was just about to tidy it up when she heard a knock at the door.
She opened the door to see Cheng Weiwan. Ji Yi was stunned for a moment before she opened the door wider and welcomed Cheng Weiwan in.
As she gestured for Cheng Weiwan to take a seat, she walked over to the desk and prepared to tidy up her leftover food.
Cheng Weiwan put down the medical kit and saw Ji Yi moving around, so she walked over to her side and scrambled to clean up the table before she could.
With the wound on her waist, Ji Yi wasn’t as fast as Cheng Weiwan, so all she could do was say, “Thanks.”
Cheng Weiwan shot Ji Yi a smile but didn’t say a word. She took the bag of garbage, walked over to the door and placed it down on the floor. Then she walked into the bathroom and washed her hands. After she came out, she told Ji Yi, “I’m here to check on your wound again.”
“Oh,” responded Ji Yi as she hurriedly took off her top to reveal her waist that Cheng Weiwan bandaged up.
Cheng Weiwan got closer and carefully checked it to confirm that everything was okay. While she was at it, she reapplied some medicine for Ji Yi, bandaged it up, and reminded Ji Yi to not let it get wet for a few days. Then she started to pack up her medical kit.
Ji Yi knew this meant that Cheng Weiwan was about to leave.
Apart from the first time Cheng Weiwan called her to invite her to join the cast of “Three Thousand Lunatics,” they never really talked to one another. Since Cheng Weiwan already took care of the wound that evening, she should drop by the next day to change the bandage if Ji Yi remembered correctly, but Cheng Weiwan came to see her mere hours later…
Ji Yi pursed her lips. Seeing as Cheng Weiwan had already packed up her medical kit and was about to get up and leave, she hurriedly cried out, “Miss Cheng…”
Cheng Weiwan didn’t say anything but stared quietly at her and waited for her to finish.
Ji Yi bit her bottom lip and asked the question on her mind, “Did… he ask you to come?”
After a pause, Ji Yi was afraid Cheng Weiwan wouldn’t know who she meant by “he,” so she moved her lips about to say “He Jichen” when Cheng Weiwan nodded. “Yes, He Jichen asked me to come.”
It was just as I thought… Ji Yi’s fingers instinctively clutched onto her sleeve.
Seeing as Ji Yi didn’t say anything more, Cheng Weiwan spoke again, “Is there anything else?”
Ji Yi swiftly shook her head. “Nope.”
“Then I’ll be off.”
“Mhm…” Ji Yi got up and saw Cheng Weiwan to the door. She first gave her thanks before bidding her farewell. “Goodbye.”
After Cheng Weiwan walked off some distance, Ji Yi shut the door and leaned against the wooden door. She lost track of the time as her thoughts were in disarray.
…
Back in suite 1001, Cheng Weiwan headed to He Jichen’s side and opened the medical kit.
When she gestured for He Jichen to open his injured hand, she watched as the man stared firmly at her. That was when she realized something and quickly said, “There’s no real problem with her wound. I reapplied her medicine and changed her bandages. Tomorrow night, I’ll go over again to change it one more time. I’ll remove the stitches after seven days and she’ll be fine.”
At that thought, He Jichen still didn’t say a word as he brought his injured hand over to Cheng Weiwan.
Cheng Weiwan crouched on the ground and picked up the tweezers and scissors. Soon after, she picked out the remaining glass shards in He Jichen’s palms.
Chapter 270: There’s No Justice. Only She’s Right and You’re Wrong. (10)
Cheng Weiwan crouched on the ground and picked up the tweezers and scissors. Soon after, she picked out the remaining glass shards in He Jichen’s palms.
Then Cheng Weiwan picked up a few cotton balls, doused them with alcohol, started to disinfect the wound and applied some medicine.
She moved smoothly throughout the process then took a seat to one side facing Han Zhifan, who was talking business over the phone. As she did so, Han Zhifan’s attention was incidentally captured by Cheng Weiwan’s fair, slender hands.
Han Zhifan’s gaze slowly rose from Cheng Weiwan’s fingertips to her face. Meanwhile, Cheng Weiwan had finished taking care of He Jichen’s wound and started to tidy up her medical kit.
She had good facial features, her skin was fair, and she seemed calm… looking at her like this made him feel so peaceful.
Han Zhifan couldn’t help but stare at her some more until the phone in his hand endlessly rang “ding-dong! ding-dong!” He finally withdrew his gaze, looked down and continued to work.
“Be careful of getting it wet. I’ll put some ointment here. Remember to re-apply the medicine,” said Cheng Weiwan calmly to He Jichen as she packed her things and got up, carrying the medical kit.
He Jichen let out a soft “Mhm,” but didn’t say a word.
Cheng Weiwan quietly said “goodbye” and strode out.
When she passed Han Zhifan, Han Zhifan couldn’t resist but look up from his phone screen and glance over at Cheng Weiwan.
Cheng Weiwan looked over at Han Zhifan too as she noticed him staring. Their eyes met. Cheng Weiwan didn’t look away but politely and brazenly smiled at Han Zhifan. She brushed past him then quietly left He Jichen’s suite.
Now there was just Han Zhifan and He Jichen left in the room.
Han Zhifan continued working busily on his phone for some time before he put it down and turned to look at He Jichen.
The man laid leisurely on the sofa with his head raised as he stared transfixed at the ceiling, deep in thought.
Han Zhifan stared at He Jichen for a moment but didn’t say a thing. He got up and walked over to the counter then opened a bottle of red wine. He poured two glasses then headed back to the sofa and placed one glass in front of He Jichen.
The glass made a crisp sound when it touched the marble desk, stirring the composed He Jichen. He sat up and glanced at the tall glass in front of him, reaching his hand out to pick it up.
Han Zhifan swirled the wine glass and took a gulp then tilted his head and looked up and down at He Jichen. All of a sudden, he smiled and asked, “Chen Ge, it’s because of her, right?”
He Jichen was about to put the glass of wine to his lips when he stopped, turned his head slightly and glanced over at Han Zhifan.
“On the fourth year of university, you had to go to Beijing on the twenty-eighth of every month. Then after graduation, you gave up a great future to come to Beijing. After the investment was pulled for “Three Thousand Lunatics,” you would rather make less profit and have me find new investors. Even if you didn’t earn a lot, you wanted to keep this series running. It was all because of her… Because of that supporting actress who got injured tonight, am I right?”
Now completely exposed, He Jichen stopped drinking abruptly.
Han Zhifan knew He Jichen too well. He knew his subtle actions meant he guessed right.
He wasn’t pushy with He Jichen by asking personal questions, but he held the wine glass and continued to take two gulps before saying something else. “Chen Ge…”
Chapter 271: You Were Never Alone, You Still Have Me (1)
“You remember the most beautiful girl in school from the foreign languages department, right? She was every guy’s dream girl in school. There could’ve been as many as three circles of guys lined up around the track who wanted to get with her. Yet she never fell for anyone’s attempts. It wasn’t until fourth year when you had to go to Beijing that she found out, ran over to the male dorms, and stopped to confess to you…”
“At the time, you had returned from playing ball with a group of us. In front of so many people, she didn’t flinch at all. She said so much; she even planned out how your future would be together. It sounded quite nice, and you both looked like a nice match. Truth be told, at the time, I was a little interested in her. You know… This fair lady deserved a proper man. But at the time, I felt like the two of you were quite the match, so I really liked the idea of you two together. Thinking back on it, many people had the same thought. But that day, even after she said so much, you simply replied sorry.”
“The most beautiful girl in school asked why you rejected her. What did you say back then?”
Han Zhifan tilted his head and carefully thought about it for some time before saying, “…After so many years, I still clearly remember what you said – that a person was probably only single because there was someone who was impossible to be with or someone who would never look back.”
At the time, he thought He Jichen was just spouting nonsense to get rid of the girl.
That day, He Jichen went back to the dorm and stayed there quietly for a long time. He didn’t say anything until the next day.
Up until now, he figured He Jichen was in a bad mood then because someone confessed to him, but he now realized that He Jichen was in a bad mood because those words stabbed his heart.
At that thought, Han Zhifan added, “…What about her? The supporting actress who left you all alone for so many years. Deep down inside, was she that someone who was impossible to be with or was she that someone who would never look back?”
He Jichen stared at the liquid through the crystal clear glass with a dull expression on his face for a long time. Then he looked up at Han Zhifan and said, “Someone who’s impossible to be with.”
As He Jichen said this, he looked down with infinite sorrow in his eyes. When he spoke again, his voice was soft with a hidden, immense sorrow. “But in any case, there’s a possibility. As long as it’s her, I would turn back with no hesitation, but she’s never given me the slightest chance…”
After a pause, He Jichen said, “…and she’s never thought about giving me a chance.”
The atmosphere in the room instantly turned a little somber.
The two of them stayed silently like that for a long time until they’d almost finished drinking their glasses. Then Han Zhifan cleared his throat and changed the subject to something more interesting: “Oh, right! Today, the woman who helped take care of the supporting actress’s wound and your wound… is she the on-call doctor for the production cast and crew?”
“No, that was the screenwriter, Cheng Weiwan.”
“Cheng Weiwan is the writer of “Three Thousand Lunatics”? She’s so young! That can’t be right… wasn’t she a writer? How does she know about medicine?”
“Oh, her dad is Cheng Weiguo.”
Cheng Weiguo? Han Zhifan’s fingers suddenly gripped the tall glass hard. His voice sounded a little excited. “Cheng Weiguo? You’re telling me that her dad is the world-famous doctor, Cheng Weiguo?”
He Jichen nodded gently and swiftly replied with one word, “Yeah.”
Chapter 272: You Were Never Alone, You Still Have Me (2)
As He Jichen finished what he said, Han Zhifan suddenly slammed his tall glass onto the coffee table.
He Jichen furrowed his brows and turned to look over at Han Zhifan in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
Han Zhifan didn’t say anything, but his gaze upon the tall glass grew intense.
Cheng Weiguo… Even if he turned to ashes, he’d still be able to recognize those three words.
He would never forget the dirty, lowly thing that the well-dressed man did!
So the woman he noticed today who made him feel so peaceful was Cheng Weiguo’s daughter?
He heard Cheng Weiguo only had that one daughter who he loved so dearly.
He Jichen creased his brows a little harder. “What the hell’s wrong?”
Han Zhifan snapped back to his senses and realized that he was lost for a moment and hurriedly pushed down the feelings in his eyes. He looked up at He Jichen and shot him his usual warm smile. “Nothing, I was just shocked. I never imagined that such a hidden gem would be on your production team!”
He Jichen believed Han Zhifan, so he didn’t pursue it any further.
Seeing as He Jichen looked normal and didn’t pick up on anything, Han Zhifan felt more at ease. Then he looked down to hide the boiling emotions in his eyes.
Cheng Weiguo, Cheng Weiwan, Cheng Weiwan, Cheng Weiguo…
He repeated those two names in his mind over and over again until he eventually gritted his teeth with hatred and ferocity.
In this lifetime, he would never forgive Cheng Weiguo. He had been waiting for an opportunity to give Cheng Weiguo a fate worse than death… With Cheng Weiwan’s appearance, this might just be that opportunity for him.
At that thought, Han Zhifan lost interest in lounging around in He Jichen’s room. “It’s getting late, so I’m heading back to my room to get some rest.”
He Jichen nodded slightly. He didn’t try to make Han Zhifan stay, but he remembered something the moment that he got up and cried to Han Zhifan, “Ah yeah!”
“Mm?” Han Zhifan stopped everything he was doing and stared at He Jichen.
He Jichen raised his head and downed the red wine then glanced over at Han Zhifan and said in a dull voice, “I have to stay on set and can’t step away, so there’s something I wanted to ask of you.”
“What is it? Just say it and it’s done.”
“Go back to Beijing and help me find out which hospital Ji Yi had her abortion done at three years ago…” Back in Ji Yi’s room, he heard Qian Ge mention how Ji Yi almost lost her life during her abortion years ago. If it really happened how Qian Ge described it, why would she risk so much to avoid having his child? Could there possibly be some kind of hidden reason he didn’t know about?
At that thought, He Jichen added, “Remember, I want the most comprehensive rundown of what happened.”
“Alright,” promised Han Zhifan. Seeing as He Jichen had no other orders, he said goodbye and left.
The door gently opened and shut, suddenly causing the room to fall incredibly silent. Now there was only He Jichen left in the room.
He sat on the sofa for quite some time before the alarm on his phone rang. He finally got up and walked out of the bedroom.
Because of the wound on his hand, He Jichen went to the restroom to quickly freshen up before he laid back in bed.
A hard object under his body felt a little uncomfortable. He furrowed his brows and pulled out the hard object. It was He Yuguang’s phone.
Chapter 273: You Were Never Alone, You Still Have Me (3)
Ever since Chinese New Year when he used He Yuguang’s identity and stayed a whole night and day in Lijiang, “He Yuguang” and Ji Yi had grown quite close. “He Yuguang” and Ji Yi practically messaged each other every day.
The phone had been left on the bed only because they exchanged messages on WeChat till late the night before. Before going to sleep, he just tossed it to one side.
When he unlocked the screen, he noticed there were notifications for several unread WeChat messages. He Jichen casually opened WeChat and saw that those messages were from Ji Yi, but he didn’t open to read them as another notification popped up. His phone was running out of battery.
As he sat up against the headboard, He Jichen found the charging cable and plugged in the phone. With one hand raising a cigarette to his mouth, he tapped Ji Yi’s name and read her message. “Yuguang Ge, last night, I was too sleepy, so I fell asleep. So sorry.”
Last night, she hadn’t replied to his last message. He waited for so long, but when his phone remained silent for so long, he knew in his heart that she probably fell asleep. He sent her a message to say “goodnight” and he fell asleep too.
He figured that once she woke up the next day, she’d send him a reply when she saw his message.
He Jichen quickly tapped on the phone screen. After he sent the words “It’s fine,” he reached for his lighter and lit up his cigarette.
He didn’t smoke it but held the cigarette between his fingers and leaned against the headboard. As he inhaled the tobacco, he waited patiently.
After about a minute, the phone vibrated in his hand.
Ji Yi replied: “Yuguang Ge, it’s so late. Why are you still awake?”
He Jichen flicked the ashes of his cigarette into the ashtray by the bedside table then held his cigarette between his fingers. He started to type away on the phone screen. “Just about to go to bed.”
After he sent that text, He Jichen realized it was almost twelve yet Ji Yi was still up, so he tapped on the screen again. “What about you? Why are you still up?”
“I can’t sleep.” Ji Yi probably had her phone in her hand since she replied to his message so quickly.
Can’t sleep?
He Jichen stared at those two words and started to furrow his brows. “What’s wrong, Manman?”
Ji Yi: “Nothing.”
Nothing is stopping her from sleeping? Clearly, there’s something… It can’t be her wound preventing her from sleeping, right?
At that thought, He Jichen sat up on the bed and stretched his legs out before his mind flashed back to how he lectured her in her room earlier. Then he froze completely.
For a while, he held his stance as though he was about to get out of bed before he finally pulled his legs back into bed again. He stared at the night sky out the window for a while then tapped the phone a few times. “Is it because of the wound on your waist?”
“Yuguang Ge, how did you know?” It was just as He Jichen thought – Ji Yi replied with a question.
Before he sent out that last message, he already thought of a good excuse explaining how he knew. He typed it and was just about to send it when he received another message from Ji Yi. “He… He Jichen told you, didn’t he?”
He Jichen, who just typed the words “Jichen told me,” quickly deleted the message and changed it to “Mhm.” He sent it out.
Ji Yi didn’t reply on her end.
He Jichen figured she thought “He Yuguang” knew the full details of how she planned for herself to get injured, so she probably didn’t know how to respond.
After some thought, he typed another sentence on the screen. “Don’t do stupid things like that again for those people. It’s not worth it.”
After about five minutes, Ji Yi finally responded, “I know it’s not worth it, but Yuguang Ge, in this world, I can only rely on myself. I can only rely on these stupid ways to protect myself.”
Chapter 274: You Were Never Alone, You Still Have Me (4)
“I didn’t really want to do it, but Yuguang Ge, did you know? Since the first day I joined the cast and crew, I’ve practically been hungry every day. I’m sick of eating instant noodles. When I wanted to go to the restroom, it was always occupied. I didn’t dare delay filming, so all I could do was hold it in. Once, I held it in until the end, and my stomach was in so much pain. Then I didn’t dare to drink water so I wouldn’t have to go to the toilet too often to avoid any mishaps, but I started to get dehydrated and get nosebleeds…”
As He Jichen read the long passages of text, the image of seeing those instant noodles and bloody tissues in her room flashed across his mind. It felt like waves of pain had come over him as if something clutched his heart and squeezed it.
Ji Yi seemed like she still had more to say because the screen still read: “typing…”
He Jichen hadn’t snapped back from his immense pain when a long passage of text popped onto the screen. “I’m not some kind of naive girl, and I can’t let someone bully me and not do anything about it. I just wanted to make my days go by easier, so when I got the chance, I decided to go for it.”
“Yuguang Ge, I never thought about using tricks to make it to the top and I never imagined fighting with other people. I just wanted to protect myself, because if I don’t protect myself, nobody in the world is there to protect me.”
He Jichen always thought he understood Ji Yi well enough, so when she sent those words, he realized for the first time just how much sadness and loneliness were hidden deep inside the woman he loved.
An indescribable pain penetrated his body as his fingers started to shake gently.
On the other side, there was no sign of Ji Yi after she finished typing those words.
Perhaps she was deep in thought or perhaps she was waiting for his reply.
It wasn’t clear just how much time passed – probably a minute or ten minutes even. He Jichen hadn’t thought about how to reply to Ji Yi when his phone suddenly lit up. Ji Yi sent him another message. Compared to the long messages she sent before, this one was particularly short: “If I could live a simple life, why would I rack my brain trying to think of schemes?”
The blood drained from He Jichen’s face as his eyes quickly ran through the words, and his tightly pursed lips turned white.
He had to admit that when he learned she hurt herself, he was enraged.
He couldn’t understand why she would do such a thing. Was there anything that was more important than her own safety?
But now, he was just filled with heartache.
It was just as she said – if she could live a simple life, why would she rack her brain scheming?
Just how desperate and hopeless could she have been to use herself as bait?
She was the same woman he kept in his heart after a catching a quick glimpse of her back in the schoolyard at Sucheng Yizhong. She was the woman he secretly vowed to protect for life, so how could his woman be suffering so much now?
He Jichen’s heart felt like it had been brutally torn apart; his blood flowed endlessly and the pain was neverending.
He once thought that the pain he felt after having sex with her that night four years ago was enough to make him not want to live through the night…
But today he realized that there was a pain far greater – realizing that she was in pain.
