That night, he cooked for her for the first time, and for the first time, she felt a small stir of emotion. However, his next words immediately shattered her faint hope completely.
He said: If I return tonight and don't find you, Yan Xixi, staying home obediently, you'll be kicked out tomorrow and will never have the chance to step foot in this place again.
Between him and her, it had always been a relationship akin to employer and employee.
It was also after that time, she realized she shouldn't have any inappropriate thoughts.
Just like tonight.
No greetings, no contact, not even a text; the phone wouldn't ring... unfamiliar numbers, they wouldn't know.
Only then did she understand the profound pain of a masked person—you must sever all ties with the past, like a ghost, having neither past nor future.
Besides being alive, there was no longer any emotional connection.
