Although there is a ten-year age difference between me and Ai Xiaoxi, I found that there is a lot of tacit understanding between us.

For example, the music you like, the movies you read, the books you read, and the countries you yearn to travel to......

Before we knew it, we were talking late.

Looking at the time, it was already the second half of the night, we said goodnight to each other, and she went to rest.

When the room returned to darkness, a great loneliness struck in the silence.

I looked across the building and suddenly realized a problem.

Xia Yun didn't seem to have returned home yet, and the room was dark all the time......

Moreover, she didn't call me all day, not even send a message.

This is not normal......

I just told her I was going on a business trip and she went out for a tryst?

My heart feels like I'm falling into the abyss......

Although I had already guessed about her cheating, when this possibility became more and more real, I was a little afraid to face it.

Struggles, contradictions, entanglements, swarms into my heart.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt panicked.

I held my phone and repeatedly struggled with whether or not to give her a call.

The phone screen is bright and dark, dark and bright.

I pressed the power button over and over again, and finally decided to call her.

The phone rang several times before it was connected.

"Husband? Haven't slept so late? Her voice was very lazy, as if she was sleeping, and I woke her up.

"Where are you?" I asked.

"At home...... I'm all asleep and woken up by you...... Sleepy......" She didn't seem to wake up, and her wheezing voice was heavy, "Aren't you on a business trip?" Just arrived at the hotel? ”

"Hmm......" I felt like I was falling into an ice cave, "then you go back to sleep and have a good dream." ”

"Good...... Good night to my husband...... "She didn't seem to hear the strangeness of my voice, said goodnight to me, and hung up the phone."

I looked across the dark room, the coldness spreading from the soles of my feet to my body.

I suddenly had a strong urge.

I want to go home!

I'm going to be at home, call Xia Yun!

I want to see her being exposed by me!

I'm going to see how she explains it all!

My head was buzzing, and once such a thought came to me, it was like a devil, and I couldn't get rid of it.

I don't know how I left the rental house in a daze and took the elevator to the bottom floor.

I don't know how I walked through the dark buildings in the dark of night, and the cold evening breeze was not as cold as my heart.

I don't know how I got back to the home that gave me endless warmth, which was our love nest and now an important part of my life is coming to an end.

In the silence of the night, only the sound of my weak footsteps beat at my tired heart.

When I passed by the guard room, Mok Wenwei's song was playing inside.

This song used to be Xia Yun's favorite song.

"Trying to love someone has nothing to do with happiness,

Be careful, between love and non-love, it's not too far away......

Swallow the lonely lover, try to understand hard,

It's just a pity that it's rare, and whoever gets his wish is really unwilling......

The more two people love each other, the easier it is to hurt each other.

Tired, let go, not worth it, don't want it......"

Stepping on the sad melody, Karen Mok's singing voice is like a gentle knife, cutting at her heart one by one.

Between love and unlove...... Isn't it really far away?

Can I really let go of this relationship?

The dim street lamp stretched my shadow long, long, and I was walking towards the end, but the light was dragging my soul back.

I...... Are you really mentally prepared......

Groggy all the way, I got back to my doorstep.

The silent corridor, the silent door, was cold in front of me.

Even though I was mentally prepared, at this moment, I was a little out of breath.

Open the locked door, Xia Yun and I ......

It's really over.

I pulled the keys out of my pocket.

My hands were shaking when I took the keys.

Uncontrollable trembling.

Several times I couldn't get the keyhole right.

I calmed down and finally inserted the key.

One twist......

I frowned, not twisting.

The lock on the door has been changed once, and the key in my hand is new, although it is not easy to use occasionally, but it will not be so unscrewed......

I pulled out my key and looked through the light in the hallway.

The keys were not taken wrong.

I inserted the key in the door again......

Still not twisted.

I was a little angry in my heart, and I grabbed the doorknob with one hand and the key with the other, and I used some force in my hands......

The sound of the door was a little loud, but it still didn't move.

I wondered.

Don't...... Xia Yun changed the locks?

I was bothered, the phone rang suddenly, and when I saw it, it was a call from Xia Yun.

What does she want to do?

I pressed the answer button, and as soon as the call was connected, her suppressed cry came over the phone.

"Husband, I'm afraid of ......"

"What's wrong, Xia Yun?" As soon as I heard her voice, I was shocked, all my emotions just now were gone, "What's wrong?" ”

"Someone...... Someone...... Someone ......" She was on the other end of the phone, crying in fright.

My heart turned a hundred times, could it be that she was ...... Bullied?

"Don't worry, you speak slowly, don't be afraid." I tried to calm her emotions.

"Someone is breaking the door......" she sobbed and whispered.

As soon as I heard this, I was a little confused, where was she? Why would anyone pry her door?

"Where are you?" I hurriedly asked.

"I'm at home......" she said.

Family? I was confused, looked up at the door, and pried the door......

Was it my voice that scared her?

She...... She...... She's at home???

"Xia Yun? Don't be afraid, it's me, open the door for me......"

I said into the phone, knocking lightly on the door.

"What? Husband, aren't you on a business trip? She asked in surprise over the phone.

I heard a squirming voice on the phone, and after a while, she said on the phone, "Husband, knock on the door again and I'll listen." ”

I knocked, "Do you hear that?" ”

The door lock rang several times.

Only then did I hear that she should have locked it inside, so she couldn't open it with the key.

As soon as the door opened, Xia Yun appeared in front of me in pajamas, with tears on her face.

"Scared me to death, husband!" She cried and threw herself into my arms, "I thought it was a loan shark who came to pry the door......"

I see...... The last loan shark phone call really scared her a lot.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... I gently patted her on the back and comforted her, "Why don't you turn on the lights?" ”

We entered the room and closed the door.

There was no light on in the room, and I raised my hand and felt the switch on the wall next to the door.

Click......

The lights didn't come on.

"The power went out in the morning, and I got off work late today, and I forgot to go to the property to charge the electricity card."

Xia Yun was still hugging me tightly, and when she saw me asking her, she explained.

It dawned on me in my heart.

It turned out to be because of a power outage......

No wonder I couldn't see the lights in the room all the time, and I thought she was ......

"Husband, aren't you on a business trip? How ......?" she asked me.

"I didn't make a business trip, so I came back." I found a reason to prevaricate.

"So happy! Husband husband!! "She threw herself into my arms and coquettishly squeamish.

And my back was already soaked with sweat.

In my heart, I seemed to breathe a big sigh of relief.
