On the day I returned to my country, Qi Yu didn't come to pick me up.

I opened my phone and there was still no reply to the message I sent him before boarding the plane.

A bitter smile crossed my heart. He should still be blaming me for hiding my plans to go abroad from him.

I looked at the bustling crowd at the airport, my heart filled with longing for Qi Yu.

Qi Yu, do you miss me?

I got in the car and instructed the driver to go straight home.

Instead of meeting Qi Yu, I wanted to see my family first.

Over the years, they have been more tired than anyone else because of my illness.

Now that I'm better, everyone should be happy for me.

With that thought, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth.

The black car slowly moved forward in the congested traffic, and I fell into a drowsy sleep.

In my dream, it felt like I was trapped, my heart aching so much that I couldn't breathe.

I seemed to see Qi Yu and another girl.

They were kissing, getting into bed, entwining with each other.

I dreamt that Qi Yu and I were engaged as planned, and that girl left with a heart as lifeless as ashes.

"Uncle Li, let's not go home for now. Go to the Cloud Club,"

Qi Yu said. He had a permanent box at the Cloud Club, and whenever he wasn't busy with work, he would come here to relax with his childhood friends.

When I arrived, the box was silent.

And at a glance, I saw Qi Yu with drooping eyes and an indifferent expression.

By his side sat a slender girl, leaning close to him, playfully teasing him with curved eyebrows and eyes.

Although Qi Yu still had a cold face, his lips involuntarily curled up.

That kind of indulgence and intimacy, he could also give it to another woman.

I held onto the door frame with all my strength to keep from slipping to the ground.

It was true, the substitute was real, he would love her, everything in the dream was real.

At this moment, someone with sharp eyes noticed me and shouted.

"Holy shit, Shuyi is back?"

"Qi Yu, you sneaky bastard. Miss Shen is back and you didn't let us know."

Only then did Qi Yu suddenly look up at me, a fleeting panic crossing his face.

He walked towards me, but when the girl behind him called his name, he instinctively paused.

His voice, as always, was cold and arrogant, but it carried enough affection to make people sink.

"Shen Shuyi."

His eyes suddenly turned red, his restrained voice carrying the emotions of several lifetimes.

"You finally came back, I thought you didn't want me anymore."

I looked at the face in front of me that I had once loved to the depths of my soul, my heart swelling with a sourness that almost hurt me to death.
