Lin Yixun went downstairs, and Ouyang Hao did not follow her, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. Right now, she really did not know how to face him.
Just then, Lin Yixun’s phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. She opened her phone, and as expected, it was Ouyang Hao calling. Lin Yixun hung up the call without thinking.
However, before long, the phone vibrated again. Lin Yixun tightly gripped the phone and pressed the hang-up button once more. She thought for a moment and decided to turn off the phone, lest Ouyang Hao call again.
Just as she was about to turn off the phone, it vibrated once more, and a text message came through, "Lin Yixun, I called you just to tell you that I have left and won’t bother you again. I left your room card with Xia Ling. You can return to your room and rest now. Lin Yixun, I don’t want to push you, but every word I just said was sincere."
Lin Yixun stared at the last two lines of the message with a wry smile.
Ouyang Hao, this man, although cynical and arrogant, had never lied to her. She believed what he said, but so what? Even if he liked her, could he really accept her past?
Lin Yixun’s eyes were slightly sore. She took a deep breath, constantly telling herself: Lin Yixun, stop imagining things. You and Ouyang Hao are not from the same world. There is no way you two can have a future.
Her heart was already riddled with wounds, pieced together barely after four years of mending. She didn’t want to experience the excruciating pain of four years ago again. The cost was too great, even the thought of trying again terrified her.
Lin Yixun composed herself and immediately called Xiao Mu, "Miss Xiao, can I trouble you with something?"
She asked Xiao Mu to change her flight, and she took the midnight flight back home. As the plane ascended, she looked down at the thousands of lights below and the calm sea, smiling faintly. The many incidents with Ouyang Hao had finally come to an end.
Lin Yixun initially thought that after resigning, her fantasies would die, and her life would return to peace. But what she didn’t know was that a storm awaited her back home.
Because it was a night flight and she had a layover in Kuala Lumpur, Lin Yixun arrived back in T City by midday the next day.
Dragging her suitcase, Lin Yixun wandered alone in the crowd. She glanced around, although the terminal was bustling with people, she suddenly felt that the vast terminal was surprisingly empty.
She remembered that when they went to Bali Island, they were a large group of people, with staff, Xiao Xia, and also... Ouyang Hao. Lin Yixun frowned and tried to erase his familiar face from her mind.
She inwardly warned herself: Lin Yixun, everything between you and Ouyang Hao is completely over. Don’t have unrealistic fantasies anymore.
With her mind full of concerns, she didn’t notice the odd looks people gave her from deplaning to reaching the exit, and even some people pointing and whispering behind her back.
Dragging her suitcase, just as Lin Yixun was about to walk out of the terminal, she suddenly heard a girl’s voice from not far away, "Look, Lin Yixun is there!"
Before the voice had even landed, countless gazes shot towards Lin Yixun.
She hadn’t yet understood what was happening when a sudden pain struck her forehead. Sticky liquid slowly flowed from the center of her forehead down her cheeks.
