The next morning, I woke up early and got ready to go downstairs after washing up. As I reached the stairway, I happened to run into Shen Yulin. He was dressed casually and looked vibrant.
"Good morning," he greeted me with a smile. I was taken aback for a moment but quickly replied, "Good morning."
We went downstairs together and arrived at the dining room. Aunt Chen had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast. "Come and eat, miss," Aunt Chen warmly invited me. I sat at the dining table, eating breakfast while occasionally glancing at Shen Yulin across from me. He was quietly eating without saying a word.
After finishing breakfast, Shen Yulin mentioned he needed to go to the office. "I'll give you a ride," he said, picking up the car keys and looking at me. "No need, I can go back by myself," I declined his offer. "Alright then," he didn't insist, "Call me if you need anything."
I nodded and turned to leave the villa.
Back home, I lay on the sofa, reflecting on everything that had happened last night. Shen Yulin's words echoed in my mind, leaving me feeling unsettled. My phone rang; it was Zhang Yun calling. "Hey babe, did you have fun last night? How are things between you two? Are you together now?"
"No, it was just one night," I replied flatly.
"What happened? From the way Shen Yulin looked, it seemed like he wanted to devour you; there's no way he'd let such an opportunity slip by," Zhang Yun exclaimed in surprise. "I don't know; he stopped at the last moment," I said helplessly.
"What? That happened?" Zhang Yun asked in shock. "So what are you planning to do?"
I paused for a moment in silence. "I don't know; I'm feeling really confused right now."
"Babe, don't overthink it; just go with the flow," Zhang Yun comforted me. "If you still have feelings for him, give him a chance and see what he does."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Yun Yun," I said softly.
After hanging up, I lay on the sofa staring at the ceiling blankly. A sleepless night left me exhausted both physically and mentally, and I fell asleep. In my dream, I returned to that summer when cicadas first began to sing; I stood in the park facing the wind, desperately pleading with Shen Yulin to turn back. His harsh gaze told me, "Yue Fanxing, I will never come back to your side in this lifetime!"
I jolted awake, the sadness from the dream lingering in my heart as tears welled up in my eyes. My phone rang again; it was a landline. Then I remembered that I needed to report for work this morning. I quickly answered the phone: "Hello?"
"Miss Yue, I'm really sorry; the company has organized an impromptu training session today and we all have to be out for business. Can we reschedule your reporting time to tomorrow morning?"
"Sure, thank you." Just as I hung up, the doorbell rang. When I opened the door, I saw Shen Yulin standing there with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
"Xingxing, may I come in?" His eyes were filled with warmth and sincerity.
I stepped aside to let him in as he walked into the living room and handed me the flowers. "I'm sorry for making you upset yesterday," he said softly. "I know I've hurt you in the past, but I hope you can give me a chance to make amends."
I looked at him with mixed emotions swirling inside me.
"Do you think a bouquet of flowers can erase what happened in the past? I don't believe you."
Shen Yulin took my hand gently. "I will prove my sincerity through my actions; please give me a chance, okay?"
"Give you a chance? When you rejected me in the park before, did you give me a chance when I begged for one?" I looked at him despairingly. "You suddenly leave and now want to suddenly come back; do people and things in this world seem so easy to you?"
"Just leave; I don't want to see you." "Xingxing," Shen Yulin tried to say something more as I turned and walked into my bedroom, closing the door behind me.
Shen Yulin stood dazed in place, staring at the tightly closed door, filled with a sense of loss and regret. He sighed, slowly lowered his raised hand, and turned to leave.
