Chapter 29 Taking Back My Heart
On the third day living at Lanxi’s house.
The sky had just begun to brighten when a phone call woke me.
I answered groggily. “Hello? Who is this?”
“It’s me.”
The voice sounded familiar. Then I remembered—it was Shen Yizheng.
“What do you want?”
“You left some things here. When are you coming to get them?”
I held my forehead. “Just throw them away.”
Shen Yizheng’s temper instantly flared. “I’m not a garbage collector. If you want to throw them, do it yourself.”
I stayed silent.
“I’ll come get them at noon today.”
“Fine.”
After that, I hung up and went back to sleep.
I have a strong sense of time. At exactly twelve noon, I knocked on Shen Yizheng’s door.
The moment I knocked once, he opened it.
He stepped aside and let me into the living room.
“What did I leave behind? Give it to me.”
With a loud “bang,” Shen Yizheng slammed the door shut.
I turned to look at him. “Speak.”
He was wearing brown loungewear, his hair falling softly over his forehead.
“You left my heart behind.”
I frowned. What kind of cheesy pickup line was that?
“Stop messing around. Give me my stuff.” I urged, confused.
“These past few days, I’ve missed you a lot.”
This didn’t sound like something Shen Yizheng would say at all.
“Are you possessed? Shouldn’t you be missing Lanxi?” I quickly realized. “Is it that once someone becomes your ex, you start missing them?”
Shen Yizheng stayed silent.
Seeing that he wouldn’t speak, I turned to leave.
He blocked the door, refusing to let me go.
“What exactly do you want?” I lost my patience.
Shen Yizheng moved his lips, about to say something, when my phone vibrated.
It was a call from Lanxi.
Afraid she would worry, I answered.
