Chapter 455: Chapter 455 She Once Liked Him (4)
The living room wasn’t lit, enveloped in darkness, but there was a faint light coming from the kitchen, and those sounds were emanating from there.
How come... if a thief breaks in, they don’t ransack the living room but head to the kitchen?
Could it be that they’re hungry?
Dong Xin Yan swallowed slightly, her steps moved slowly, her dark eyes glancing towards the kitchen. Fortunately, her compact apartment had an open kitchen, without walls dividing it, and her view was unobstructed.
However, when her gaze settled on the familiar figure in the kitchen, all her fear and tension immediately vanished.
Because that figure was more familiar to her than anyone else, and it couldn’t have reassured her more.
Ziyang.
But hadn’t he already left? Why did he return?
She stood there, watching Cheng Ziyang busy in the kitchen, seemingly reheating dishes. Her gaze involuntarily moved to the dining table, where there were a few delivery bags. The logo printed on them was from a private cuisine place she liked.
This... Ziyang has come back, worried she’d wake up hungry, so he bought takeout?
If she remembered correctly, her place was a bit far from that mall, a round trip took about over an hour.
Dong Xin Yan was pondering this when Cheng Ziyang seemed to have finished everything. He turned around, took off his apron, and then walked towards the dining table.
Dong Xin Yan didn’t quite know what she was thinking at that moment, her mind hadn’t processed it all, but her feet instinctively moved quickly, and she slipped back into her room.
Cheng Ziyang didn’t notice her. He walked to the dining table, tore off a sticky note, took out a pen he carried with him, and quickly jotted down a line, sticking it on the small blackboard nearby.
Then he straightened up, picked up the coat lying on the chair, took a long stride towards the door. Passing by the living room, he instinctively glanced in the direction of the room, seeming to hesitate about whether to go in and see Dong Xin Yan.
Dong Xin Yan hid behind the door, her body tightly against the door panel. She wasn’t sure if she sensed Cheng Ziyang’s thoughts, but her heart started pounding.
At this moment... she didn’t want to see Ziyang.
She once thought that her feelings for Ziyang were pure, without any impurities. From the first moment she saw him, she had a liking for him, silently admiring him, until eventually, it turned into deep love.
But in the end, during the two months she spent with Gu Ningyi, she developed feelings for the Gu Ningyi she had always disliked, even loathed...
At that time, she already had a liking for Ziyang... yet she still fell for Gu Ningyi.
What did this mean?
At this moment, she didn’t dare contemplate it.
When the footsteps outside stopped, there was no movement, and Dong Xin Yan’s heart started to feel uneasy with the silence, very much afraid Cheng Ziyang would come in to see her.
She couldn’t face him now.
After waiting for a while, footsteps finally sounded outside again, not drawing nearer, but moving away, and then she heard the sound of a door opening and closing, afterwards, it became completely silent outside.
Ziyang had left.
Unconsciously, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After a few silent moments, she straightened her body, opened the door, and slowly walked out. As she approached the dining table, she saw the sticky note on the small blackboard.
She reached out and took it down.
Ziyang’s handwriting was like his personality, warm and gentle, "You haven’t eaten much all day, I bought your favorite private dishes and they’re heating in the kitchen. Remember to eat when you wake up, and also..."
