Ji Anning’s hands were draped over the man’s back, one hand lower down, absent-mindedly caressing an uneven spot.
"You must have stories too, don’t you?" she asked. "Do your scars have anything to do with them?"
She asked many more questions and said a lot of inconsequential things, but received no response.
Gradually, she let down her guard, relaxed, and listening to the man’s breathing, she fell asleep unaware.
When she woke up, it was already the next morning, and the man was no longer by her side.
Seeing the ti, she hurriedly got out of bed, went to the bathroom to quickly wash up, changed into her clothes, and ca out.
Her phone had been ringing at so point and was still ringing.
She walked over and glanced at the caller ID. It was Ji Jingfeng, and her heart skipped a beat.
She adjusted her composure and then picked up the phone, answering with a guilty ’hello’.
Having not returned ho all night, she wondered how she would explain herself later. She was surely in trouble this ti.
Ji Anning was nervously thinking when Ji Jingfeng’s gentle voice ca from the receiver, "An’an, have you woken up? I’m in the hotel lobby waiting for you."
The hotel lobby?
Ji Anning was surprised. Her mouth agape, her heart in her throat, she asked uncertainly, "Jingfeng, where did you say you are?"
Could it be the lobby of the hotel she was in now?
Ji Jingfeng said, "I’m in the lobby of the hotel you’re in now, waiting for you. We’ll go ho together shortly."
Heavens! How did he know she was here at this hotel lobby?
Ji Anning’s eyes widened, shocked, puzzled, guilty, anxious...
She was stunned, for a long ti not responding to Ji Jingfeng, who asked from the other end of the line, "An’an?"
"I’ll be right there."
Ji Anning ca to her senses, quickly replied to Ji Jingfeng, and then hung up the phone.
She was about to pocket her phone when she inadvertently glanced at the screen and saw an unread text ssage. It was from an unfamiliar number.
"I like her, but she doesn’t like ."
Ji Anning’s heart was touched by these simple nine words, and it trembled slightly.
She deeply sensed his bitterness and helplessness from the brief text.
What surprised her even more was that she felt pity. Was it because they were both abandoned by the world?
Ji Anning gave a bitter smile, didn’t reply to the ssage, deleted the text, and put her phone in her pocket.
’Demon, have you ever put effort into soone?’
Ji Jingfeng knew she was here, ca to find her—it must have been the demon’s doing.
Demon, who exactly are you? What kind of person are you?
...
As soon as Ji Anning descended the stairs, she saw Ji Jingfeng sitting in the reception area, just like last ti, holding a lit cigarette, his brows deeply furrowed as if weighed down by persistent worries.
He must be very upset.
Although he didn’t like her, they were still engaged, and now she had essentially cuckolded him. Anyone would feel uncomfortable in his place.
Even though he had been unfaithful too, he was a man. A young master like him fooling around with won outside was not unusual in itself.
As Ji Anning thought this, she waved at Ji Jingfeng from afar. She didn’t walk over to him but headed straight for the hotel entrance.
When Ji Jingfeng saw her, a coldness flashed in his eyes, but a smile appeared on his face. He extended his hand to toss the unfinished cigarette into the ashtray and then stood up to walk towards Ji Anning.
