From her words, he could clearly hear something.
Ji Yi narrowed his eyes. "You have someone you like? Is it that senior Gu Xu today?"
In the corridor, he heard the bespectacled girl say something, and Ji Yi somehow remembered this name.
Xia Ling let out a soft, "Mhm."
"He's been chasing me. Even after he knew I was married, he still chased me."
"I may have been tempted, but I never thought of betraying you. I just wanted to divorce you and return the things grandpa gave me to you so I could be free to be with him."
"But today, I was disappointed in this person. I believed in him in the beginning, so I drank the wine."
"But I didn't expect that he had planned it all along. He wanted to take advantage of me."
...
Ji Yi: "So you came to me for help because of him?"
In the darkness, the man's expression was deep and dangerous.
But Xia Ling seemed to be unaware.
"Half and half. Ji Yi, I'm really tired of liking you. I don't want to like anyone anymore. Let's get a divorce. You find someone suitable for you, let me go, and let me live the life I want."
She said this in a low voice.
Her tone was one of relief and acceptance.
"For the shares in grandfather's inheritance, contact the lawyer in the group later. We'll go to the Notary Office to do a notarization. I'll transfer all the shares to you unconditionally and leave with nothing."
"As long as you give me a place to live after the divorce, so that I won't have nowhere to go after graduation, I'll be very grateful."
"I can raise some flowers and animals in there. When I get married again, my boyfriend and I won't have to worry about the house. I can also get the happiness I want. Isn't everything wonderful?"
Ji Yi didn't say anything.
He looked at the side of her face.
In the darkness, there was only an indistinct outline of her face.
She was still talking.
With a hopeful tone, she sketched out a complete picture of the future for him.
It could be heard that the girl had thought about it many times in her mind, which was why it was so smooth when she talked about it.
She poured out a future without him.
But for some reason, Ji Yi could think of her current appearance in his mind.
She lowered her eyes, her expression was cold and calm, and she said these things as if it had nothing to do with him.
But did she really not care?
She always knew how to pretend to be calm, just like when she woke up today, Ji Yi had thought that she did not care about anything.
In the end, when she was drinking coffee, the coffee cup in her hands and the tips of her fingers were all white.
His heart moved slightly.
Ji Yi heard the girl's voice and turned to the side.
Under the cover of the night, his hand easily reached out and grabbed the girl's hand that was pressed against the thin blanket.
That hand was ice-cold. It was clearly covered by the thin blanket, but it seemed as though there was no warmth at all.
He held this hand in his palm and caressed it.
Ji Yi propped himself up and looked at her in the darkness.
"Shi Yan, divorce me and pursue freedom. You should be happy. Why is your hand still so cold?"
Xia Ling: "I was born with cold hands. It has nothing to do with this."
Seeing that she had turned her face away, Ji Yi vaguely felt something.
His fingertips caressed her face and gently wiped it.
The touch was slightly cold. It was liquid.
"Since it doesn't matter, why are you crying again?"
"I... I'm not crying. I'm just happy. I finally said what I wanted to say to you. I can be happy, can't I?"
