The midsummer afternoon sun was scorching, burning the skin. The road was congested, with cars honking incessantly, making people restless and irritable in the sweltering heat.

The two stopped under the shade of a plane tree by the roadside.

Wen Zhi's expression changed instantly after Wen Yisheng said those words.

The smiling face turned cold and hard, all tenderness vanished.

Just like the weather in June, the sun was shining brightly just moments before a sudden clap of thunder boomed overhead, causing passersby to look up at the sky in surprise.

However, while the weather changes according to natural laws, Wen Zhi's emotions change with Wen Yisheng.

—The weather is unpredictable, sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy.

Wen Yisheng looked at his gloomy and unpredictable face, but she was not intimidated.

She believed that she had gone along with him in every way that day, and that her words were completely correct.

She's willing to try to accept him, so he should change for her too.

"It's a little past three now, um... I can stay with you until ten o'clock tonight, whatever you decide," Wen Yisheng said, feigning nonchalance.

Wen Zhi was not happy at all after hearing this.

Perhaps from Wen Yisheng's perspective, she felt that she had sacrificed a lot to take care of Wen Zhi's feelings.

From Wen Zhi's perspective, he believed Wen Yisheng should be with him, whether it was before or after 10 PM; it was all his, that was only natural. But now, after 10 PM, she was proposing a separation?!

Wen Zhigang was enjoying the sweet taste of true love and didn't want to give Wen Yisheng the cold shoulder.

This matter cannot be tolerated by her.

It seemed like a sun shower was about to fall that day; the air grew increasingly muggy and oppressive, making people irritable.

Wen Zhi led her towards the parking lot, using a gentle yet commanding tone to make her obey: "I've already told you, cancel your dorm registration and move back here. Hetang Bay isn't far from Peking University, it won't interfere with your classes at all."

"The dormitory is small and shabby, and it's really cramped with four people living together. Everyone has different living habits, and if you make any noise at night, you can't sleep well at all."

His voice was so sweet it was almost intoxicating. He turned his head to her side and coaxed her, "The bed is hard, the space is small, it's hard to even turn over, the sleep quality is terrible, why go there to suffer, right...?"

Wen Yisheng did not refute him.

She looked up and smiled at him good-naturedly, "Thank you for thinking so much about me, but I'm used to it, these aren't problems and I slept very well."

Without him climbing into my bed in the middle of the night, I sleep much more comfortably.

Wen Zhi: "..."

"I have a headache," he said.

Wen Yisheng: "Just now you were saying that the pain had miraculously disappeared."

"..."

"I can't sleep at night without you." He drawled, rubbing his chin against her forehead, like a spoiled brat. "I can't live without you, Ah Sheng... I love you so much..."

Wen Yisheng was not buying his act at all.

She stopped in her tracks.

She pulled her hand away from his, crossed her arms, frowned at him, and asked with a puzzled look, "Do you see me as your girlfriend or your mother? Why do I have to coax you to sleep?"

"How come I never heard of you having this condition before I met you?"

"..." The air around Wen Zhi seemed to freeze into frost.

No matter how I try to reason with her, it doesn't make sense. She's just trying to shut him up, isn't she?

A light rain began to fall from the sky, and the sunlight made the raindrops appear crystal clear.

Wen Zhi pursed his lips into a straight line, stopped speaking, put his arm around her waist, and half-forcefully led her to the car and put her in the passenger seat.

Wen Yisheng didn't want to get wet in the rain, but he was annoyed by her slightly rough strength, so she nudged him with her elbow.

Wen Zhi closed the car door, turned around and went to the driver's seat. He got into the car without saying a word, then turned and stared at her quietly.

His voice was calm, with a hint of mockery: "So you just don't want to live with me. No wonder you were so gentle with me today, that's what you were after, isn't it?"

"Then let me tell you, I don't agree. I'll go back to school with you now to move your luggage out." His words were utterly matter-of-fact.

This seemingly gentle yet forceful attitude was really annoying. Wen Yisheng turned her head to look out the window, as if she hadn't heard, but she knew she was grinding her teeth in anger.

Is that what he really thinks of her?

This lunatic, he can live alone until he dies!

Wen Yisheng stared out the window without saying a word.

Wen Zhi was still unhappy.

He reached out, turned her face towards him, and wouldn't be satisfied until he got an answer: "Can't you hear me...?"

Wen Zhi's voice trailed off, and he paused, startled.

Hearing Yisheng's delicate face covered in tears startled him so much that he held his breath.

She was crying, but it was the kind of crying that didn't show sadness or pain. She had no expression, just red eyes, but you could feel that she was suppressing her grievances, and she was crying so calmly.

Wen Zhi was panicking inside, but remained calm on the surface. He leaned forward and wiped away her tears with his fingertips: "Why are you crying? Do you think you can make me give in by shedding a few fake tears? I..."

"Then don't touch me." Wen Yisheng pushed him away.

She wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and the red at the corner of her eye became even more intense, like it had been dyed with flower color.

Wen Yisheng tilted her head slightly, trying to force back her tears. She suddenly laughed, with a hint of self-mockery: "I really don't know what I'm expecting."

"..." Wen Zhi sensed that she seemed disappointed in him?

Wen Yisheng looked at him with her misty eyes, but her voice was mocking: "You... don't you feel even a shred of remorse or regret?"

Wen Zhi didn't understand at first, then Wen Yisheng continued, "You did so many terrible things to me before, stalking, spying, drugging, kidnapping, imprisoning... so many despicable and perverted things..."

Wen Zhi's expression was unnatural; he lowered his eyes, a hint of guilt in his eyes.

She tugged at the hem of Wen Yisheng's skirt sleeve with her fingers.

His voice trailed off, and he gave a shameful hum: "It's all old news, why bring up those unpleasant things..."

"Young and impetuous, huh?" he mumbled weakly.

Seeing his expression, Wen Yisheng gave a cold laugh: "It's a wonder you still know shame."

"I didn't want to bring it up, but those things will always be a shadow over me, all because of meeting you."

"Now, I can't get rid of someone. After going through so much, I've thought it over carefully. Although that person is an absolute beast, he's been sincere to me. So I've decided to put aside past grievances and give him a chance."

"And that's exactly what I did."

"I had a surprisingly happy day with someone, and I actually felt a sweetness of love that I had never experienced before."

"..." Wen's heart suddenly raced.

Ah Sheng was just as happy as him?

Wen Yisheng completely ignored his reaction and lowered her head with a genuine sense of grievance: "I've been trying so hard to accept someone, but that person hasn't changed at all. They're still as selfish and domineering as before. Is that even possible? That person is so annoying. They're a complete and utterly wicked person..."

The more she spoke, the more distressed she became, her clear, bright eyes filled with tears that dampened her eyelashes.

But she didn't want to cry out loud and appear weak in front of him, so she just lowered her head and wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

Wen Zhi couldn't bear to see her looking so wronged, as if the sky was about to fall.

He felt a tightness in his chest, and his heart instantly softened completely.

The sky only let out a brief shower of raindrops, and then it stopped.

Wen Zhi got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, and opened the door.

He bent down and knelt down, reaching out to hug her: "I'm sorry, I was wrong before, I will change, I promise I will... believe me."

Wen Yisheng initially resisted and pushed him away, but Wen Zhi wouldn't let go. Later, she stopped struggling and leaned sadly against his chest.

"I've already paid for the dorm for a semester, and they won't give me a refund. I'll come find you after I finish living here." Her voice was hoarse from crying, soft and gentle, which was very heartbreaking.

Wen Zhi subconsciously wanted to say something like "no," but he swallowed the words back down.

He held her, rubbing his nose against her soft cheek like an addict smoking opium.

He trembles, indulges, becomes obsessed, and will be forever trapped in it, unable to extricate himself.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, don't cry," he said.

Having gotten the result she wanted, Wen Yisheng barely managed to stop her tears and pushed him away: "Go get the car."
