Zuo Shaojie looked at Lan Xin's empty seat, pretending not to hear the surrounding noises.

"Pei Er, why aren't you here again?" Zuo Shaojie's good friend was leaning one hand on the table, while the other hand was resting on Zuo Shaojie's shoulder.

"I don't know." Zuo Shaojie finally regained his senses and started to clean up the stationery on the table.

"Could it be that the matter of you being with Lin Sirou provoked her, would something happen to her?" It was terrible to see a woman in her head who was emotionally unstable and had decided to end her own life.

Zuo Shaojie did not reply, he only swung his bag onto his shoulder, as if he was worried that Yue Yang would climb onto his body as well.

"Aren't you going to see her?" King asked again.

"Let's go." Zuo Shaojie said honestly, he wanted to leave.

"Right now, your pity will only hurt her even more. Don't give her the chance to daydream."

Love is transparent and tasteless, but people like to mix it according to their preferences, until they discover that it becomes a complex color with a strange taste, although people do not like or hate it, but there is still a glimmer of hope that there must be a way to change it, but I do not know that it is a waste of time.

"Ding dong …" The doorbell rang, but no one answered.

"Ding dong ding-dong …" Zuo Shaojie hurriedly pressed down twice more.

After a long while, when Zuo Shaojie touched the doorbell with his index finger again, the door slowly opened, and the people inside gradually became whole.

Pei Er lowered his eyes and did not place his gaze on Zuo Shaojie.

"Pei Er." Zuo Shaojie looked at the weakened Pei Er, his heart throbbing in pain for no reason.

"Come in!" Pei Er's voice was just as weak as hers, her drooping eyelids were all over her lifeless eyes.

"Are you ruining yourself, or are you hurting people who love you?" Zuo Shaojie still stood at the doorway, he did not have the intention to step in.

Pei Er finally looked straight at Zuo Shaojie, the tears of sorrow in her eyes, but she blocked them with all her might: "I did want to hurt you, but you didn't love me."

"Did I make you unhappy?" Zuo Shaojie's tone was calm, but he did not concede.

"It's you!" It's you! If you can't love me for long, why did you make me a promise? " Pei Er shouted.

"I apologize, but it's already true that I don't love you."

"Shut up!"

Pei Er wanted to close the door, but he was stopped by Zuo Shaojie.

"Do you still want to escape?"

"You have no idea how painful my injuries are, so you have no right to tell me what to do! Are you trying to force me to death by looking for me with a blissful face? You will be free when I am dead, but I will not do so because I will see you fail in this love affair and drag you to hell with me! " Pei Er's eyes were fearsome, tears flowing down her face. Her resentful face looked sinister from her tears.

Zuo Shaojie never thought that Pei Er would become so scary because of his love's failure. This was completely different from the her that he was familiar with in the past, maybe she didn't change, but he simply didn't understand the real her. He felt guilty and pampered, but Zuo Shaojie didn't want to see Pei Er continue like this.

"Even if I fail, I won't go to hell."

"You will. No matter how long you wait, I will wait. I want to see how desperate you are."

"I won't, because I'm going to pull you up."

Zuo Shaojie stopped trying to stop Pei Er from closing the door, and the door closed with Pei Er's energy, isolating the two of them.

Zuo Shaojie was still standing outside the door, not leaving for a long time. He was waiting for Pei Er to be able to escape the cage he had set up.

Pei Er's hand still remained on the doorknob, his heart churning with the good that Zuo Shaojie had done for her and the injuries he had given her.

"I hate you!" A trembling voice came out from the other side of the door and echoed in Zuo Shaojie's ears.

After a long time, the silence spread in the air, using the tentacles to lightly touch their hearts.

"But I love you more." Pei Er's voice turned calm, it was a confession filled with deep emotions and there was no response. It was as if she was talking to a wall and no voice was responding to her.

"Can you not be like this?"

"Can't you really give me some love?" Pei Er was almost willing to ask, the perseverance, and the hope to clear her mind were the reasons why she was so scary. Frankly speaking, she was just a pitiful woman.

"We are friends." Zuo Shaojie hardened his heart and destroyed Pei Er's hope.

Another silence.

"Let's go back!" I need to think about it. "

Tears fell again, his heart ached, love left again, his faith disappeared, what was it that he had tried to protect in the first place? To think that he himself appeared to be so laughable, it turned out that love was actually so irresponsible.

Zuo Shaojie's face appeared on the screen of the walkie-talkie as he picked up the call.

"Why did you suddenly come?"

"Let's go on a date."

Zuo Shaojie's face was full of excitement, his smile in Lin Sirou's eyes was adorable.

"You come up first." Lin Sirou pressed on the button to open the door.

"Where are you going?" Lin Sirou put on his jacket and faced Zuo Shaojie who was turning the tables.

"Let's go eat first." Zuo Shaojie stood up and held Lin Sirou's hand.

Zuo Shaojie's intimate actions made Lin Sirou raise his head and look at him, and he had a happy smile on his face.

"We went to the same shop last time. I like his lamb noodle soup."

"I'm not a glutton for nothing, it's really going to come in handy."

"Boring." Although Lin Sirou said this, the smile on his face became even wider.

"Si Rou."

"Hmm?"

"Can I love you?"

Zuo Shaojie asked in a childish tone. How was it bad for Lin Sirou who had never been in a relationship before?

"No."

Lin Sirou rejected him childishly, making him laugh instead.

Zuo Shaojie brought Lin Sirou and strolled in the night park. It was filled with the shine of the stars, the dim yellow light, and the insects' chirps.

"What are you doing today?" Zuo Shaojie looked at Lin Sirou's enchanting face that was matched by the street lights, and his heart trembled uncontrollably.

"Sleep and watch TV." Lin Sirou tilted his head slightly.

"Isn't that boring?"

"But I don't know what to do."

"You should go to work too."

"No, I suddenly thought of what I wanted to do." Lin Sirou smiled.

"What?"

"Don't tell you." Lin Sirou pressed his index finger to his lips like a shameless child.

Zuo Shaojie also smiled.

"Si Rou." Zuo Shaojie shifted and put his hand on Lin Sirou's shoulder.

"Hmm?"

"I'm not going to promise you anything." Zuo Shaojie thought about Pei Er's fearsome and pitiful face.

"It doesn't matter to me."

"I went to see Pei Er a few days ago."

"Is she all right?"

"Not so good. She has become something I don't know at all. I'm very worried about her." Zuo Shaojie said honestly, he did not want to lie to Lin Sirou.

"Well, it's still a transitional period. Maybe she'll be better after a while."

"I hope so. Right now, she is like a little sister to me. I still can't let her go."

"Don't worry, I won't mind." Lin Sirou continued to smile, the dimple in her cheeks continued to look cute and petite.

Luo Xiaotang rested her head on Cheng Feng's shoulder, her snow white hands playing with her rough big hands, she drew a question mark in Cheng Feng's palm.

"What do you want to ask?" Cheng Feng reached out and placed her other hand on Luo Xiaotang's shoulder, while stroking Luo Xiaotang's smooth red hair.

"What have you been doing these days?" Luo Xiaotang used his forefinger to prick at Cheng Feng's hand.

"At work." Cheng Feng's reply was light, but his heart was not at peace.

Luo Xiaotang moved her head towards Cheng Feng's chest. The irregular heartbeat seemed to have ruthlessly pierced through Cheng Feng's lies and after the previous experience, she became more sensitive.

"You liar."

"What?" Cheng Feng's heartbeat sped up again.

"Then why is your heart beating so fast?" Luo Xiaotang raised his head and looked at Cheng Feng. However, he did not see any traces of lies on his face.

Cheng Feng withdrew his hand from Luo Xiaotang's shoulder, and his body moved further away from her: "Nothing."

"Yeah!" It was unknown if it was because Luo Xiaotang was slow, or if he deliberately avoided it, but he did not continue to question Cheng Feng, even though his movements were so obvious.

"You're thinking too much." Cheng Feng caressed Luo Xiaotang's head as if he was coaxing a child.

"Yes." Luo Xiaotang turned his head to look at the television: "I want to eat fried noodles."

"Alright." Cheng Feng stood up.

Luo Xiaotang suddenly grabbed Cheng Feng's hand.

This action caused Cheng Feng to jump, and after that, he forced a smile as he turned his head back: "What's wrong?"

Luo Xiaotang looked at Cheng Feng meaningfully for a long time before speaking again, "Add more shrimp."

"I know." Cheng Feng walked into the kitchen.

The sound that was being emitted from the kitchen was circling around Luo Xiaotang's ears continuously, she bit down on her arm close to her mouth, her eyes gradually became warm, and her vision also started to blur along with it. She could no longer see the images on the television, the pain, the fear, and the uneasiness.

At this moment, Cheng Feng really wanted to beat him up. Actually, even if Luo Xiaotang was in pain, he would still be in pain because he did not want Luo Xiaotang to get injured again.

However, the current situation seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Luo Xiaotang realized that he had been busy recently, even though he had to use his work as an excuse, it was not a long-term solution.

A few more lies were necessary to cover up the first lie, and although these were futile, people were afraid of the shock of being discovered, so the lie continued to cover up, choosing to avoid it until it was revealed on its own.
