Fu Yanchen was like a sudden enlightenment at this moment, and finally understood everything thoroughly. He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart. He once thought that as time went by, the deep contradictions between the two of them would gradually disappear and fade away like clouds blown away by the wind. However, reality gave him a ruthless slap in the face.

Even though so many days and nights had passed, the barrier between them was like a towering and indestructible mountain, separating them on both sides. No matter how hard he tried to cross it, he could never reach the depths of the other person's heart. This feeling of helplessness and powerlessness made him feel extremely depressed.

Every time he tried to sit down and have a peaceful talk with the other party, the "mountain" would suddenly appear in front of him, blocking all communication paths. Silence, quarrels, cold wars... seemed to have become the norm for their relationship. And the once passionate feelings became increasingly thin and shaky in these conflicts.

Fu Yanchen's eyes, which were originally as deep as the sea, seemed to hide a bottomless and mysterious lake. No one could glimpse the real emotional fluctuations in them, let alone guess and understand them. The air around him seemed to become heavy because of his suppressed emotions, and people felt an invisible pressure hanging over their hearts.

After a long and almost suffocating silence, an unprecedented solemnity appeared on Fu Yanchen's face, which was usually calm.

His slender body slowly stood up from his seat; every movement seemed so slow and mechanical, even with a hint of stiffness, as if his body had lost its former flexibility and ease.

Then, his bony hands silently reached out to the laptop on the table and gently took it in his hand.

From beginning to end, he didn't say a word, and even his eyes didn't shift at all, just focusing on the action at hand.

Then, without hesitation and without looking back, he walked straight towards the door with firm but slightly heavy steps. His back seemed lonely and resolute, leaving everyone with only a figure that was getting farther and farther away and full of mystery.

Just as the door was about to close, time seemed to freeze and the whole world became quiet.

Xu Xiaoxiao, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa, couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Her face, which had been as calm as water, now showed a ripple, like the surface of a lake into which a stone had been thrown.

In that brief moment as fleeting as a flash of lightning, countless thoughts flooded into my mind like a tide.

An idea flashed through her mind—she wanted to ask him to stay.

That figure used to mean so much to her, and every separation would make her heart feel like it was being torn apart.

Now...her lips opened slightly, as if she was ready to say the words to keep him.

However, at the moment when the words were about to come out of his mouth, there seemed to be an invisible and powerful force, like an indestructible wall, blocking the words that had already come to his lips.

This force came so suddenly and so violently that she had no power to resist at all.

That thought was like a shooting star across the night sky, brief but dazzling.

It flashed through her mind so fast as lightning that she had no time to reach out and grab it.

Although the thought was fleeting, the shock and impact it brought were deeply imprinted in her heart.

In the end, after some inner struggle and weighing, she had no choice but to remain silent.

She stood there silently, watching the heavy door slowly close, like an unbridgeable chasm that ruthlessly separated them into two completely different worlds.

She bit her lower lip tightly, and her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, her nails digging deep into the fabric, as if this could alleviate the pain and struggle in her heart.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall and tried hard not to cry out loud.

She knew that even if she kept him, some things could not be changed.

Her mind was as clear as a mirror, and she knew that once Fu Yanchen made up his mind to step out of that door, it meant that he had made such a decision after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons.

There is no doubt that he must have made all the necessary preparations to deal with all possible situations and challenges and will never put himself in danger easily.

She couldn't help but ask herself why she should be so worried and add unnecessary troubles and anxieties to herself for no reason?

Shouldn't she believe in Fu Yanchen's ability and wisdom? After all, Fu Yanchen has always shown extraordinary courage and courage. No matter what difficulties and obstacles he encounters, he can always overcome them with his own strength.

Thinking of this, her anxious heart gradually settled down, and she began to try to look at the situation in front of her with a more peaceful and optimistic attitude.

Fu Yanchen returned to the hotel room and just put his laptop on the table when his cell phone rang rapidly.

He glanced at the screen and saw Nan Yifeng's name. He sighed helplessly and answered the call.

"What's going on? Xiaoxiao knew about your conspiracy and kicked you out of her house?" There was a hint of ridicule and gloating in Nan Yifeng's voice.

Fu Yanchen pinched his brows and nodded tiredly. Although Nan Yifeng couldn't see it, he still made this gesture, as if this could relieve some of the pressure.

"Yes, she knows." His voice was low and hoarse, revealing a hint of helplessness and frustration.

Nan Yifeng laughed so hard on the other end of the phone, "Hahaha, Fu Yanchen, you have come to this day too! I thought your plan was perfect, but I didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly."

Fu Yanchen ignored Nan Yifeng's ridicule. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He knew that he had not handled the matter properly this time, which led to Xu Xiaoxiao's misunderstanding.

But he also understood that the most important thing now was how to save the situation and make Xu Xiaoxiao accept him again.

"Nan Yifeng, you are still in the mood to laugh at me. Hurry up and help me think of a way to make Xiaoxiao forgive me." There was a hint of urgency in Fu Yanchen's voice.

Nan Yifeng had laughed enough, and finally stopped smiling. He said seriously, "It's not that there is no way, but you have to tell me the cause and effect first. I suspect you did something bad behind my back. Otherwise, why is Xiaoxiao so angry?"

Fu Yanchen was silent for a while, then briefly told Nan Yifeng the cause and effect of the matter.

He knew that he had indeed gone too far this time, but he also hoped that Nan Yifeng could understand his difficulties and help him.

After listening to this, Nan Yifeng was silent for a while, and then said: "Fu Yanchen, you did something wrong this time. But don't worry too much, Xiaoxiao is not that kind of petty person. As long as you sincerely apologize to her and explain your difficulties clearly, I believe she will forgive you."

Fu Yanchen nodded. "I know, but I don't know what to do now to make her trust me. She is now full of vigilance and hostility towards me."

Nan Yifeng thought about it, and then said: "How about this, you give Xiaoxiao some time to calm down.

Then you can find a suitable time to go to her in person and have a good talk with her.

Remember, you must be sincere and don’t hide or deceive anything.”

Fu Yanchen sighed, "This is the only way. I hope Xiaoxiao can give me a chance to make up for my mistake."

Nan Yifeng sighed on the other end of the phone, with a hint of helplessness and doting in his tone:

"Okay, Fu Yanchen, don't think too much. Xiaoxiao was raised by you. You should know her better than us. She is just angry that you cheated on her this time, not that she really wants to break up with you. Don't do this kind of thing again in the future, okay?"

Fu Yanchen thought about it and nodded silently. Although Nan Yifeng couldn't see it, he still expressed his agreement.

He knew very well that his behavior this time had indeed disappointed Xu Xiaoxiao, and he also understood why Xu Xiaoxiao was angry.

He secretly made up his mind that he must be more honest with Xu Xiaoxiao in the future and never let her get hurt again.

Nan Yifeng continued, "I won't talk to you anymore. Weiwei has always been dissatisfied with you, and she has never been happy with me. I have to go back and coax her, otherwise she won't let me into the bedroom tonight."

When Fu Yanchen heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

He shook his head helplessly, thinking that Nan Yifeng was a guy who valued women over friendship and forgot about his brothers once he had a girlfriend.

But he also understood that Nan Yifeng's feelings for Weiwei were really deep, so he was not angry, but rather a little envious.

"Okay, go ahead. Comfort Weiwei and don't make her angry." Fu Yanchen's tone contained a hint of teasing and blessing.

Nan Yifeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will. Don't blame yourself too much. It's over, let it go. Just be more careful next time."

Fu Yanchen responded and then hung up the phone.

He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the night view outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He knew that although this incident had passed, it would take time for the relationship between him and Xu Xiaoxiao to be repaired. He had to make more efforts to make Xu Xiaoxiao trust him again.

He also began to reflect on his own behavior and attitude. He realized that he had not done well enough in some areas before, which made Xu Xiaoxiao feel disappointed and hurt.

He secretly made up his mind to correct his shortcomings in the future and become a more mature, stable and trustworthy person.
