Chapter 636: Chapter 635 What on Earth Do You Want to Do (5)
While looking for cold medicine, Ling Chuxia unintentionally saw her phone discarded on the table. As she turned it on, her phone’s screen still displayed the WeChat conversation, and that question shot straight into her brain again.
Although she had slept soundly just now, her mind raced through dreams. She dreamed of him—of that past they should not revisit, a past so joyful. So joyful that when she awoke, the corners of her lips curved up unconsciously.
But once awake, rationality returned, slapping her face harshly. Was she insane, still allowing herself to pine for those laughable memories at this time?
She had clearly forgotten...
Ling Chuxia closed her eyes and felt a tightness in her chest that was almost suffocating. She abruptly stood up and headed straight to the balcony.
She did not turn on the living room lights when she stood up, only a small wall lamp was on, so her side was still dark. She moved silently, and Shi Che, who was leaning against the railing lost in thought, did not notice someone stepping out onto the neighboring balcony.
Shi Che also did not have the lights on. His tall and straight figure stood in the darkness, as if merging with it. Both of them leaned against the railing, lost in their own silences.
Ling Chuxia already had a throbbing headache, and the cool breeze only made it worse, causing goosebumps to break out all over her skin from the cold. Yet, she did not want to go back inside; entering her room only made the tightness in her chest more suffocating.
She still clutched her phone in hand, and by lighting the screen, she could see that question again: Who is that person you don’t want to see?
In the afternoon, she did not want to answer this question. But now, as if to prove her indifference to Shi Che, she gripped her phone and typed out each letter.
[He is the biggest mistake of my life.]
Yes, to her, he was simply a mistake—a fatal mistake. So, the only thing she could do was to discard this mistake.
After sending it, Ling Chuxia thought the oppressive sensation in her chest would ease, but unexpectedly, it became even worse after sending the message.
Then, suddenly, she heard a slight "ding" sound.
Yi Garden, located in the city center, was a place of tranquility amidst the hustle. Once night fell, it became incredibly quiet. Now, well past ten o’clock, the silence was even deeper, and that faint "ding" was crystal clear to Ling Chuxia’s ear.
Subconsciously, she looked toward the source of the sound.
Shi Che remained leaning against the railing, silent and still, allowing the cool breeze to strike him. His hand was clenched around his phone, unsure of what he was expecting.
He knew well that Ling Chuxia might not even answer his question or perhaps... the answer would be hurtful.
The phone "ding"-ed softly yet heavily to his heart.
Shi Che’s dark eyes suddenly brightened. Had Ling Chuxia replied to him? What would she say?
His hand trembled slightly, apprehensive but hopeful, his thumb pressed the HOME button, and the screen lit up.
When Ling Chuxia had glanced over just recently, the surrounding darkness was so deep she could only make out a human figure in the darkness, unable to see the face clearly. But the moment the phone screen lit up...
