Hunt her

The long-awaited news has finally arrived.

Shen Yi excitedly hurried out of the billiards hall, forgetting even to take his coat, and went out wearing only a thin long-sleeved shirt.

Xiao Yuanyang shook his head when he saw him like this: "What will you do if we break up in the future, Brother Long?"

In this relationship, everyone thought that Shen Yi took ninety-nine steps, while Yan Xu only took half a step, which was to propose marriage to Shen Yi.

But for someone who has been emotionally detached and avoids intimate relationships since childhood, it takes a lot of courage to accept someone into their life.

Like someone who is afraid of the dark, in order to find someone hidden in the darkness, she needs to overcome her primal psychological shadow and go in.

In the darkness, I believed this person was someone I could entrust my back to.

If betrayed, she will only build up a higher psychological defense, trust people less, and even fall into a deeper emotional state than before.

She used to live in a swamp, and it was only with great difficulty that she managed to get ashore. Now that she has someone she likes, it's like standing on the edge of a swamp.

Whether Yan Xu takes a step forward to reach the shore or a step back to sink into the swamp, the decision rests with Shen Yi.

But in this relationship, Shen Yi doesn't need to bear these pressures.

He grew up in a family with a great atmosphere. He was confident and ambitious from a young age, and he would strive for what he liked because he knew that his parents would help him get it.

In his world, failure is merely an occasional spice in happy days, and it won't hurt him at all.

Even in marriage, he could still wholeheartedly and recklessly give his all for Yan Xu.

Even though Yan Xu rejected him time and time again, he could still muster the courage to approach her again.

Shen Yi is someone whose heart is filled with sweetness; from his perspective, anything is possible, so he will never give up.

Even if the two break up, Shen Yi still has the Shen family mansion to return to, where his parents will always be there to support him.

But Yan Xu didn't. After the breakup, she could only lick her wounds and heal herself like a cat licking its own wounds.

......

During the few days Yan Xu was hiding from Shen Yi, he thought about it for a long time.

Perhaps it's time to end this relationship.

She sat quietly in the living room, with an agreement in front of her. Her name was already signed on it, and only Shen Yi needed to sign it.

After a while, the sound of a key turning came from the doorway.

Shen Yi excitedly pushed open the door, forgetting to change his shoes, and ran into the living room to hug Yan Xu tightly.

He used great force, wishing he could melt her into his body and never be separated from her again.

Shen Yi's heart was beating so fast that Yan Xu could hear it through his ears.

Shen Yi nestled in the crook of her neck, inhaling her unique fragrance, as if only in this way could he feel that she had returned, and that it wasn't a dream.

"Please don't avoid me, okay?" Shen Yi's voice trembled slightly, tinged with tears. "I'll listen to whatever you say from now on."

After he finished speaking, he waited for Yan Xu's response for a long time.

He was anxious, afraid that Yan Xu really didn't love him anymore.

Shen Yi placed a kiss on her neck, then followed her jawline down to her red lips.

"Please promise me?" Shen Yi's pleading voice escaped between the two as they intertwined.

Yan Xu remained silent, but his eyes were already wet with tears.

Her heart was being pulled repeatedly, and the pain made it hard for her to breathe.

Yan Xu pushed him away, her eyes bloodshot, and stroked his equally red eyes, saying, "Let's get a divorce. It's time for us to end this."

As soon as he said this, Shen Yi abandoned his previous gentleness, fiercely pinned her down, and kissed her with a menacing intent.

"Dream on!" Shen Yi ripped open her clothes. "Yan Xu, you can only be mine."

He kept kissing and caressing her, and Yan Xu's mind was torn between reason and emotion.

Shen Yi pressed her legs down onto his shoulders, burying his head between her bodies.

Yan Xu's body trembled, and his voice trembled as well.

His movements were more ruthless than ever before, a far cry from his previous gentleness and caution.

She knew he was angry and taking it out on her.

"Shen Yi..." Yan Xu whispered, clutching his hair, "You...don't do this."

Shen Yi stopped what he was doing, put her legs down, hugged her waist and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was just angry."

Not wanting to get angry at Yan Xu, this was the only way to vent his emotions on her.

Yan Xu sighed, her rationality slowly returning. She pushed him away and got dressed: "The divorce agreement is on the table. I've already signed it. You can sign it now."

Shen Yi didn't realize she was referring to the divorce agreement.

He didn't realize she had completely decided to break up with him until she picked up the agreement and placed it in his hand.

Shen Yi turned to the last page of the agreement, and the name "Yan Xu" was starkly displayed before him.

His body seemed to be frozen in place, making him unable to move.

Shen Yi stared at her name without reacting, without any emotion, without saying a word, just staring.

Yan Xu sat beside him with her head down, unable to face him.

It's unclear how long the two remained deadlocked, but Shen Yi shed a tear that landed on the agreement.

He picked up the pen, signed his name, and remained expressionless, revealing no emotion whatsoever. He was probably utterly disappointed: "Signed."

Yan Xu lowered his head and didn't move: "Mm."

Shen Yi put down the agreement and was about to get up and leave when he noticed two suitcases in the restaurant.

"I've even prepared for the move," Shen Yi said self-deprecatingly. "Yan Xu, you've made me look like a fool."

I chased after her like a fool, but in the end we still had to part ways.

Yan Xu said in a deep voice, "I know, I'm sorry."

If she had been ruthless enough not to accept his feelings from the beginning, perhaps he wouldn't be suffering now.

Shen Yi shrugged helplessly: "This is your house, you don't need to move, I'll leave."

Shen Yi grabbed a large bag and took everything that belonged to him, from the bedroom to the bathroom and then to the living room.

As he packed his things, Yan Xu shed tears in a blind spot that he didn't notice.

With a loud "bang" as the door was slammed shut.

The house feels empty now.

It's so strange. He didn't have many things, so why does it feel so empty after he took them all? It feels so empty, like there's no sense of home at all.

Yan Xu slowly stood up, walked to the sideboard, and pulled open the lower drawer.

The message box is still there; he forgot to take it.
