In the bathroom, there were two people and a little rabbit. It was very lively.

In the living room, Xiaoqi was video-calling his grandparents. Jun Shiyan was sitting beside him, replying from time to time, it was very heartwarming.

It was very quiet on the balcony, and it brought about a suffocating feeling.

It was dark, and no one knew when the sun had set below the horizon. There were no lights on the balcony, and the curtains were drawn again. The lights in the living room couldn’t shine through.

Song Yiyan felt a little guilty, this was the first time she felt guilty. She seemed to have gone overboard as she looked at the man leaning against the balcony railing.

The man’s back was facing her, his tall figure looked lonely and had a serious aura. It was as if the air around him had been sucked out because of him.

The man picked up a cigarette between his long and fair fingers. The cigarette he lit was shining with a bright light. It was about to burn his finger, but he seemed not to notice.

“Ji Xing.” Song Yiyan looked at the man and shouted, “There’s nothing to eat here. Come with me to pack some food and come up to eat!”

Ji Xing did not say anything but frowned slightly. His long and deep eyes were filled with suppressed anger. His long and fair fingers played with the short cigarette in his hand before he put it into his mouth and took a deep puff.

He didn’t smoke, and she didn’t like it when he smoked. Occasionally, when he was extremely angry, he would light up a cigarette and inhale the smoke into his lungs. It was like a sharp blade that suddenly became tangible, invading his organs and causing him to bleed.

The woman’s nonchalance made him feel as if his heart and lungs were about to explode. It also made him hate himself for caring about her.

“Did you hear me?” Song Yiyan asked, pretending not to care.

“Song Yiyan.” Ji Xing suddenly looked up at her, his eyes cold like a sharp blade.

When he opened his mouth, he spat out the smoke in his mouth. When his handsome face was hidden in the dense smoke, he looked terrifyingly evil.

“Just say what you want to say. Don’t beat around the bush.” Song Yiyan hated it when people spoke things halfway.

“What exactly do you take me for?” Ji Xing’s voice was indescribably calm.

He knew it, she didn’t have a heart. He should have known from the start, but he still fell into it and dug his heart out for a heartless woman.

But she’d never taken him seriously from the beginning. He suddenly felt an unprecedented sadness wash over him.

“My boyfriend,” Song Yiyan said and frowned. “What are you throwing a tantrum for? I didn’t leave you alone on purpose. Didn’t I go to catch that demon?”

“Your boyfriend?” Ji Xing’s smile was extremely mocking as he turned around and walked towards her.

Song Yiyan watched as the man’s oppressive figure approached. She was forced to step back and for the first time, she was nervous. “What… what are you trying to do?”

“Nothing.” Ji Xing gritted his teeth. His eyes were bloodshot, but he smiled. “Didn’t you say you were going to buy food? Let’s go.”

Song Yiyan’s heart skipped a beat from his sudden change. She carefully observed him and felt strange.

Was he being real? Wasn’t he angry at all? This didn’t fit his personality at all, okay? Ji Xing was a petty person who gets jealous easily!

When Ling Sheng carried Little Sangyu out, the little rabbit was right behind her. It had already dried the fur on her body and it was dry, white, and soft. It looked very lovable.

Ji Xing walked in front while Song Yiyan followed behind. When she saw the rabbit, she gave it a threatening look.

The rabbit shivered in fright and the hair on his body fell. It jumped into Little Sangyu’s arms with a strong leap.

Ling Sheng gave Song Yiyan a look. “Are you and Ji Xing okay?”

Song Yiyan smiled proudly and gave herself a thumbs up. How dare this man throw a tantrum at her? Her skills in subduing men were unmatched.

However, Ling Sheng did not think highly of her. She kept feeling that Ji Xing’s behavior was very strange. Moreover, he was not a good person to begin with, she was afraid that Song Yiyan would not be able to handle him.

Song Yiyan and Ji Xing walked one after another.

This house was Jun Shiyan’s property, it occupied a small area within a quiet wealthy district. The road was very quiet at night.

Ji Xing held his phone and looked at the GPS, he said there was a restaurant with good reviews ahead. It was a famous local food store and it was more than a kilometer away. Driving was troublesome, so he walked over.

There were many alleys in Jiangnan. They were very beautiful and quiet alleys covered with limestone slabs. There were no people walking on either side of them, and there were flowers whose species he did not know.

As they walked, Ji Xing suddenly stopped. Song Yiyan looked at him. “What’s wrong?”

Ji Xing said, “I read from the summary that their store only accepts cash. I don’t have any cash with me. Do you have any?”

Song Yiyan shook her head. “I don’t.”

Ji Xing smiled tenderly and touched her head gently with his big hand. “Then I’ll go to the small store behind to exchange for some cash. Wait for me here.”

Song Yiyan was dazzled by the man in front of her, and her heart skipped a beat. Damn it, another honey trap. He clearly knew that she had no resistance against his gentleness, so she nodded obediently. “Hurry up then.”

Her voice softened.

Ji Xing nodded and even took out a lollipop as if he was performing a magic trick. He peeled the candy wrapper and handed it to her mouth with a smile. “I’ll be right back.”

Song Yiyan’s heart softened, she met the man’s indulgent gaze and nodded. She mumbled softly, “I’m not a child.” He even coaxed her with candy.

Ji Xing left while Song Yiyan stood obediently on the spot with her back against the wall and a lollipop in her mouth. She tilted her head and watched as the man disappeared in front of her.

She waited for only two minutes when suddenly she heard a few gunshots. The direction of the sound was in the alley that Ji Xing was heading to.

Song Yiyan’s eyes narrowed and her heart was in her throat as she heard the clear gunshot. She ran towards the source of the sound.

Peace had returned to the alley. By the light of the street lamp, she could clearly see the broken beads on the ground. They were the ones she had bought for Ji Xing.

The smell of blood filled her nose and the fresh blood on the bead stimulated her pupils. Her heart was suddenly in a mess.
