Her voice was pale and weak, like a prisoner who desperately wanted to defend himself, but found in despair that he could not prove himself at all.

So she repeated it again: "Sui Yu, I love you, I have always known it, and I thought you would know it too."

She just underestimated the weight of the breakup five years ago in Sui Yu's heart.

She turned her dim eyes to Sui Yu, expecting to see movement in his eyes, or some other look that could give her a moment of comfort.

——However, the drunk Sui Yu just looked at her quietly with his dark eyes and said nothing, as if he didn't know what she was talking about.

The tears that had been accumulating in Qin Muxu's eyes suddenly fell.

She gritted her teeth and couldn't say a word.

Sui Yu, who was confused and confused, still didn't believe Qin Muxu's words, but after seeing her continuous tears, his heart instinctively hurt more and more.

He gently hugged Qin Muxu, who was trembling with tears, and his gentle tone was filled with unconscious cruelty: "Xu Xu, stop crying, go to bed quickly, I believe you."

Qin Muxu felt like a lump in his throat.

——

When Sui Yu woke up the next day, his head was still aching. He sat up halfway and rubbed his temples, and then the memories of last night came back little by little.

After he said a bunch of incomprehensible questions last night, the last scene in his mind was the figure of Qin Muxu trembling with tears.

Then……

He just fell asleep.

Sui Yu's face suddenly turned gloomy. He looked to his side, but there was no one on the bed.

His heart skipped a beat, he lifted up the quilt and stood up and walked outside. After seeing that familiar figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his restless heart calmed down a little.

Qin Muxu was sitting on the hanging chair, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, looking dazed. After hearing the sound, he turned around and smiled softly at him.

Her eyes were green, and her smile showed paleness and fatigue, but she still said as usual: "Good morning."

Sui Yu's heart tightened again, and he reflexively wanted to apologize: "Xu Xu, I'm sorry, I was drunk last night, and I didn't have it in my heart..."

Looking at Qin Muxu's burning eyes, Sui Yu's tone was a little difficult, but in the end it was Qin Muxu who helped him out.

"It's okay," Qin Muxu said softly: "It was my problem in the first place."

She broke up with him without any warning at first, and she failed to give him enough sense of security later on.

She was quiet for a moment, as if she didn't want to continue the topic, and pointed towards the living room: "Have you washed up? Breakfast is there, I have already eaten it."

Sui Yu saw her pretending to be indifferent, and his heart became more and more sour, but he didn't know what to say, so he just shouted Xu Xu in a low voice.

Qin Muxu just pretended that he couldn't see the complicated emotions in his eyes, and he lowered his head while holding the coffee and was lost in thought.

Sui Yu could only wash up first and quickly finished breakfast under Qin Muxu's gaze.

The two of them originally planned to go to Wujiang Ancient Town this afternoon, but when Qin Muxu saw Sui Yu finish eating, he said softly: "Let's go to Wujiang next time."

Sui Yu looked up at her and asked silently.

Qin Muxu tapped his slender fingers on the cup a few times and quietly said, "I'm a little tired and want to go back to the capital."

Sui Yu's throat was sore and she began to regret for the umpteenth time this morning that she had drank last night.

If he hadn't indulged and got drunk last night, Qin Muxu, who came to Nancheng to find him excitedly, would not have had anything to play in the end, and the planned travel plan would have ended hastily.

"I'm booking my tickets now."

The two finally booked a flight for that afternoon. While eating lunch, Grandpa Wang's student happened to call and ask when Sui Yu would return to Beijing.

Sui Yu glanced at Qin Muxu, who was eating quietly, and said in a dull tone: "I'll be there at around four o'clock this afternoon."

"Great, I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow. I thought I wouldn't be able to get the notes this time. Could you please Mr. Sui to pick them up for me this afternoon?"

This man is a doctoral student brought out by Grandpa Wang before he retired, and is now working as the chief surgeon in a tertiary hospital in Beijing.

Someone in the family had been seriously ill, and Sui Yu respected the doctor very much, so he hesitated for a while before agreeing.

So after getting off the plane that day, Sui Yu first sent Qin Muxu downstairs to the apartment in Beijing, and then drove to Grandpa Wang's villa.

Qin Muxu was not in a good mood, and didn't care what he was going to do. He waved goodbye and said goodbye. When he entered the apartment, he found that the apartment had been decorated by a decoration company. After the layout was changed, the apartment looked warm and homely, and

The layout that Qin Muxu originally envisioned is exactly the same.

The apartment was beautifully maintained and warm, but the relationship between them was a mess.

Feeling exhausted, Qin Muxu went to the bedroom on the second floor, washed briefly and then settled into bed.

She couldn't sleep all night last night. As soon as she closed her eyes, Sui Yu's words would appear in Qin Muxu's ears, causing her to continue to feel internally consumed.

"My lover doesn't love me."

"You will never fall in love with someone else."

"..."

Qin Muxu felt as if a hole had been dug out of his heart, and countless emptiness and regrets poured out of it.

She finally pulled the quilt over her head as if she was overwhelmed.

——She doesn’t want to do anything now, she just wants to empty her mind.

On the other hand, Sui Yu also opened the door of the garden villa with the spare key that Grandpa Wang and Grandma Liu left for him before leaving the capital.

"Study, a blue book in the middle of the third row from top to bottom on the second bookshelf..."

Sui Yu thought silently and pushed open the simple wooden door of the old couple's study.

This is his first time here alone.
