Ko Chen hasn’t finished calling yet. Yu Fei stares at the man who pours all his gentleness into the person on the other end of the phone. Looking back at herself, she got nothing but mistrust and coldness.

Yu Fei gasps hard and her throat seems to be blocked by something that barely enables her to make a faltering voice instead of a complete sentence.

Countless pictures flash across her mind. Ko Chen and Yu Yu kiss in the car; they lie on a bed with untidy clothes, which so much resemble the dazzling scene right now. These scenes play back like a movie, deeply hurting Yu Fei’s heart.

Yu Fei is unable to bear any more, so she straightens up and vomits violently.

Gu Yi is flustered, seeing her like this. Yu Fei is just getting better, and how can she bear such a vomiting.

He glares at the culprit fiercely with no gentleness, stretching out a hand to give the marching order, “Since you have an appointment, it’s time to say goodbye.”

Ko’s heart hurts when he sees Yu Fei in such a situation and he takes a lot effort to prevent himself from going towards her.

Yu Yu asks after she didn’t hear Ko Chen’s voice for a long time.

Ko Chen just recovers and answers in a low voice.

It is Wang Feng’s idea that Yu Yu called Ko Chen for she hasn’t met Ko Chen after she moved to Ko’s house. This kind of cold posture is not like what a man in love will do to his future mother-in-law. Therefore, under her severe questioning, Yu Yu has to tell the truth that Ko Chen never touched her again after their first sex.

Wang Feng was so anxious after she knew this, but she didn’t know the so-called “first time” was just a lie.

That’s why there’s the unexplained call.

Yu Yu has no way to handle her mother but was forced to make a phone call. She expresses nothing on her face, but actually she hoped that Ko Chen would not answer.

But the development seems to be a little different from what she expected. Not only Ko Chen answered the phone, but also he spoke in a gentle voice that she never heard before. What’s more, his deep voice was like a cello playing in her ear, melodious and pleasing.

Wang Feng pastes her ear on the phone to hear every word clearly. She feels cheerful and keeps thumbing up to Yu Yu. She points her finger to her face and hints Yu Yu to call Ko Chen back for dinner.

Yu Yu is in a dilemma. Although Ko Chen has a good attitude today, it’s hard to say when he will turn sour completely, which cannot be told to her mother cause she puts all hopes on Yu Yu, and if she knows the truth, she must go crazy.

Encouraged by Wang Feng, Yu Yu sighs, holding the phone tightly, and asks carefully, “Chen, that my mother has moved here for several days. She wants to invite you to dinner. ”

Yu Yu called for this.

Ko Chen recalls all the things Wang Feng has done to Yu Fei in the materials and his eyes turn cold, but her voice doesn’t change. “OK, I’ll let Uncle Zhang book the restaurant, and he will take you and your mother there.”

Yu Fei finally stops vomiting. Hearing Ko Chen’s words, she is stunned again and her heart aches so much that she can’t feel it at all.

Gu Yi pats her back again and again, and he looks painful when he sees that Yu Fei’s face looks so pale and bloodless.

Without any strength, Yu Fei lies on the edge of the bed and stares at Ko Chen without blinking as if she wanted to see through the man.

Even Ko Chen, who is used to facing various kinds of scenes, can’t bear to meet such a look.

Yu Fei asks without any emotion, “Did you take Yu Yu and her mother home?”

Only Yu Fei knows that she looks calm, but in fact, her heart has already been riddled with holes. The ringleader of all this is Ko Chen, the man whom she has loved deeply, and he is also the very person who not only gave her the sweetest memory, but the most thorough pain as well.

Ko Chen can see the last expectation in Yu Fei’s eyes: she wants to hear his negative answer. If he can, Ko Chen wants to rush up and hold her in his arms.

His left hand inserted in the pocket clasps the cloth tightly, and Ko Chen still says the answer that Yu Fei does not want to hear at all.

“Yes.”

A simple word defeats the last defense line in Yu Fei’s heart. If she had the naive idea of reuniting with Ko Chen before, now she has no more illusion with the man completely.

Yu Fei is frustrated. She takes back her sight on Ko Chen and asks Gu Yi to help her lie on the bed. She has never seen Ko Chen again in the whole process as if she never knew him.

“I’m a little hungry.” Yu Fei says to Gu Yi. It’s painful to watch her face without any redness.

Gu Yi bends down and asks gently, “what would you like to eat?”

The two talk in this way, totally regarding Ko Chen as air.

Ko Chen, isn’t that what you want? Ko Chen thinks quietly in his heart, and it’s the best choice to push Fei far away from him. Although he is rational, he can’t let it go emotionally.

He can’t watch helplessly Yu Fei treating another man in such a gentle manner. He just wants to step forward, and the pain that hasn’t visited him a few days suddenly hits, and a sharp pain accompanied by vertigo comes over Ko Chen, his body shocking and faltering with difficulty.

There is a constant cold sweat in his palm. Ko Chen does not dare to stay in the ward any more in case his illness might be exposed if he stays longer.

With great pain, Ko Chen turns around and leaves the ward.

As soon as he turns around, Yu Fei, who has never seen him before, turns her face and stares at him until Ko Chen’s back disappears completely. With a sad smile, she lowers her eyes.

Gu Yi sees Yu Fei’s expression clearly and he is mad with jealousy. But he is still a modest gentleman with a gentle smile.

“Fei,” Gu Yi calls her name softly, “do you still want to eat?”

Yu Fei looks up at him, shaking her head, and says in a tired tone, “Thank you, but I have no appetite.”

The starvation before is just a play for Ko Chen. Now that the audience has gone, there is no need to continue the play.

Yu Fei looks at Gu Yi, with a pair of dainty big eyes, as if they could speak.

Gu Yi is intoxicated by her eyes unconsciously.

“Sorry, I just took advantage of you.” Yu Fei is really sorry for Gu Yi. She clearly knows his affection for herself but still takes advantage of him to act for Ko Chen, which is really terrible.

Gu Yi touches her head tenderly and smiles fondly, “Fool, there’s no need to say sorry between us.”
