A small house with faded blue painted house looked very serene under the sunlight. Spurred by her worry, Li Caiyi opened the gate urgently and walked briskly to the front door.
She knocked on the door several tis, but no one answered. This situation reminded her about the previous tis she ca here to find Dai Zhiqiang.
"As expected, he isn't ho," Li Caiyi muttered to herself. The ti showed 8 AM, so Dai Shenqiang must have already left for school around this ti.
Once again, her search ended up with nothing. Confused and tired from experiencing anxiety, Li Caiyi crouched in front of the door facing the gate, thinking about what her following action should be.
Judging by the situation, it was less likely that she would find Dai Zhiqiang soon. Should she leave behind a ssage and go to K city without him?
"Even though we promised to go around together…." Li Caiyi muttered dejectedly for a mont before she sprang up again. "Don't be discouraged. This is because he is busy. He'll surely contact after he finishes his work."
"Really? You are pretty optimistic for a person who has been ditched twice."
Li Caiyi didn't have to raise her head to know who that was.
Ignoring how she ignored him, ng Renshu walked over lazily. "Didn't I tell you it's useless to check on him here?"
Li Caiyi wanted nothing but to treat him like air, but with how he constantly followed behind her and talked a lot, it was hard to do so.
Glaring at him, she retorted, "And didn't I tell you this is none of your business? Why are you following anyway?"
"I can't let you run around freely, or who knows what stupid thing you will do for that guy."
Li Caiyi rolled her eyes. "Stop following like a stalker. You creep out."
"I will if you stay within the range where I can monitor you." ng Renshu smirked.
Baffled with his shalessness, Li Caiyi looked disdainfully at him before leaving her spot.
"Where are you going?" ng Renshu followed her like a little chick following its hen.
"Stop following !"
"I can't let you do that." ng Renshu's expression turned severe, but Li Caiyi, who walked in front of him, had no way to know that.
She didn't want to waste her ti talking with ng Renshu, and she couldn't stay in the sa spot for long.
ng Renshu didn't utter a single complaint and silently watched over her.
A serene and nostalgic feeling filled him, sensing how familiar this scene was. The only difference was that their role was reversed this ti. Previously, it was Li Caiyi who liked to follow him anywhere.
He wondered if this was also what she felt when she looked at his back while keeping her unrequited feeling deep inside her?
As he drowned in his thoughts, Li Caiyi stopped in her tracks and looked back at him hatefully.
"You really are persistent. Even if you do this, nothing will change."
"Yes, do as you please. But you can't prevent from doing as I please either."
Li Caiyi stomped towards ng Renshu, making the latter raise his brows in anticipation.
"Spill it out. What are you hiding this ti?"
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Don't play dumb with ." Li Caiyi raised her chin, so her big clear eyes were right in front of his face. "How many years has it been since I've known you? Even if I can't tell what's in your mind, I can at least tell whenever you feel restless."
ng Renshu blinked his eyes in astonishnt before bursting out in laughter.
Annoyed by his response, Li Caiyi snapped, "What's so funny?"
ng Renshu held back his laughter when he noticed her displeasure. "Nothing. I was just happy you paid so much attention to ."
"Don't flatter yourself. Unless I'm a masochist, I will be damned if I don't learn a thing or two about you."
Which ant her observation about him ca from vigilance, not care or affection. Considering their past record, ng Renshu would still take that.
"I already told you I'm here because I'm worried for you. How you can trust a guy, you barely know and even actively get involved with like that is beyond ."
"Zhiqiang is not just any guy for . He is my…." Li Caiyi's words trailed off when she noticed her voice was too loud. Feeling self-conscious, she lowered her voice before continuing, "He is my boyfriend."
ng Renshu shrugged. "So what? This isn't the first ti he went missing on you without news. I bet he also broke so many promises with you before this. Tell , how can a guy like that be worthy of your trust? Are you sure he is not hiding sothing from you?"
Li Caiyi took a deep breath to calm herself down. This person was really a professional in riling her up. But she would lose if she gave in to his provocation.
Li Caiyi kept her composure as she answered firmly, "Yes, he is worthy of my trust. Being his girlfriend doesn't an he needs to report everything to . I will never doubt his sincerity for ."
Her gaze was full of conviction, making her look refined as she declared that. Her clear eyes had no doubt at all, and it vexed him so much.
Deep down, he knew from where this unpleasant feeling emanated. This fuzzy and stuffy feeling was the sa feeling he felt when he discovered that Li Caiyi had spent a night with another man.
ng Renshu tried his best to stay calm even though the seething anger inside him almost made him explode.
"I wonder where you get so much confidence. As far as I rember, you shouldn't have interacted with him before turning back in ti. It's only been months, yet you already have such a profound connection with him."
Li Caiyi sneered. "Stop changing the topic and tell what you are hiding. Walking with you without knowing your motive makes uneasy."
ng Renshu's brows twitched, and a disturbingly cold smile pasted on his lips.
'She has no qualms putting her trust in a guy she barely knows anything about rather than , who has spent years with her? No matter how low her opinion of , isn't this just too much of a biased treatnt?'
"Fine, then. Since you seem to leave your brain behind when the ti rewound, I'll tell you. What do you know about the guy you committed suicide with? Knowing you, I'm pretty sure you think that guy who died with you that day was Dai Zhiqiang, right?"
Taken aback by his sudden question, Li Caiyi took a step back. "What are you trying to say?"
"I don't know what kind of sweet talk that guy did to win your heart. But that guy who jumped from the roof with you that day is not a simple man you think he is."
ng Renshu was stunned by how quickly Li Caiyi's expression changed to an anxious one at the ntion of that man. He unknowingly paused, contemplating whether he should continue or not.
But Li Caiyi suddenly went forward and grabbed him by his collar.
"Don't you dare hide anything from . Continue what you are saying! What about him?"
