After Shen Yanchen finished his social engagement, he remembered that the red dates at home were almost gone, so he specially drove to the dried fruit market and bought a box of dried dates.
It was not even nine o'clock when he returned, but she was not in the living room watching TV.
He placed the dried dates on the shelf and then went to knock on her door.
As the door opened, she stood by the door looking up at him, her smile as awkward as ever. "You're back."
Shen Yanchen nodded. "Have you had dinner?"
"Yes, I ate outside."
As she spoke, she walked inside, but her steps paused the moment she entered the room. Seeing the suitcase on the floor, he asked, "Are you going out again?"
Gu Qimiao shook her head, trying to keep her voice steady. "I'm moving out tomorrow."
He froze; the blows she delivered always came so suddenly.
Scanning the room, he noticed that nearly all her things were packed away.
