âDid you call Duan Shurong?â He Jin was stunned, did Duan Shurong really say the same to his mother?
His mother said, âyes. Didnât you tell me that you were going to have dinner with her? Since I waited for you until 10pm and you were still not home, and I couldnât reach you on phone either, so I called her. She told me that you separated after dinner, and she thought you had returned homeâŠâ
He Jin found it strange. He had obviously lied when he told his mother that heâd have dinner with Duan Shurong. Did Duan Shurong cover that lie successfully or not?
He Jinâs mother, âare you only thinking like this after drinking too much? Well, letâs not discuss about it first. Come home quick!â
After hanging up, He Jin had a look again at the other missed calls. At 10:10pm last night, Duan Shurong had called him once. According to his analysis, she called He Jin after his mother had called her.
Itâs not even 8am yet, and He Jin wasnât sure if sheâd already woken up. He wanted to send a message to Duan Shurong first, but when he entered the message interface, he was stunned.
There was a new message, and itâs an unknown number. The message was sent about an hour ago, thatâs at 6:44am. There were only four words in it â take a good rest.
He Jin was in a panic, who would send him a message at this hourâŠcould that be the man from last night?
For a while, he thought of the person whom he hadnât thought of again, but heâs also worried itâs only his illusion, and he dared not even call back nor send a message back to confirm the identity.
He Jin hurriedly checked online the location of the number, and when he saw âA Cityâ popping up on the webpage, his heart almost popped out as well!
Qin YangâŠcould that be Qin Yang?
He Jin was trembling all over. And he was praying continuously. IfâŠjust ifâŠthat would be great if it was Qin Yang. No matter what Qin Yang had done to him, he wouldnât blame him, as heâs willing to accept everything Qin Yang would do.
Relying on this âimaginationâ, He Jin seemed to have regained some strength. He supported himself into the bathroom. Before going home, he had to first take a shower.
When he entered the bathroom, he looked at himself covered with red marks, and he felt his face burning again. He turned on the shower head and washed away all the stickiness on his body, there was even a slight pain on his shoulders. When He Jin looked at it, it had been bitten openâŠ
WellâŠshould he go to the hospital for an injection?
After the shower, He Jin put on his clothes, and he felt that heâs extremely exhausted.
His wallet and ID card were still in his wallet. When he took out the hotel room card and saw the words on it, he finally realized that heâs in the best hotel in Q city!
He reluctantly went to the receptionist to return the card, and he also asked about the person who had paid for the room. The receptionist looked at He Jin with curiosity, and said, âthis room has already been paid, itâs done by someone called Ms. Li. She came this morning to pay for an extension of your stay, so you can actually stay until 6pm. Are you sure that youâre checking out now? The extra fee is non-refundable.â
He Jin nodded his face blankly, then turned around and left.
He didnât know this Ms. Li at all. In this case, aside from that mysterious man, there was a third party who knew that they were thereâŠHe Jin dared not think anymore, now he really wanted to find out if that person was Qin Yang.
On his way back home, He Jinâs bracelet vibrated. He immediately switched on it and checked it, it was a message from Duan Shurong.
âHe Jin, your mom called me last night, did you lie to her and say that youâd have dinner with me? Although I donât know why you lied to her, I covered it. So, tell me how youâre gonna thank me.â
He Jin thought about it for a while and replied, 'sorry that I dragged you in. I drank some wine last night and I didnât return home. Iâm only returning now. However, you donât have to do it again for me, if anything happens to me and if thereâs any investigation, youâll be the last one who saw me, and this will be bad for you.â
Duan Shurong replied very quickly, âgoshâŠHe Jin, are you always this considerate?â
He Jin, âwhat Iâm saying is true. But still, I do need to thank you. Iâll pay you back dinner one day.â
Duan Shurong, âall I was waiting for you is your last sentence.â
He Jin was speechless, and when he thought of what his mother was saying, he couldnât help but ask, âdid you tell my mom that Iâm good? And that you want to know more about me?â
Duan Shurong, âthatâs right, I thought about your past after we separated, and I thought that Iâd give you a chance so that you can walk out from your trauma. Who knows, maybe youâll forget your ex after youâre with me!â

He Jin smiled bitterly, he wasnât sure whether this girl was just too stubborn or too confident.
Itâs wrong when someone assumed that He Jin hadnât looked forward to meeting the right person, one that could make him fall in love at once and even forget about the past. But he just hasnât met any, and itâs not like he wasnât willing to make that step forward.
Before that, someone had also told He Jin the same words, that she didnât care about the past, that they could try, but that trial would be an ethic torture for He Jin.
Every detail with another person would remind him of Qin Yang, and he couldnât help but start comparing the girl with Qin Yang, then he would make a conclusion for himselfâŠwhat he feared wasnât the present, but the future. He was worried, and he was pretty sure that he would stay the same forever. If he started a relationship with a girl without any considerations, it also means wasting her feelings and her youth. He Jin couldnât do that.
He didnât know how to explain it to Duan Shurong. There was simply no way to explain things like this in a text message.
