The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend

Chapter 692: Sheng Yi:

Knowing that the man was about to leave, Sheng Yi suddenly looked up.Watching the man’s departing figure, he didn’t even say goodnight or goodbye, a feeling of loss overwhelmed her like a tide.

Dao An left.

She was alone again.

If he had quietly left while she was in the shower, maybe she could have faced it calmly.

But now, watching him leave with her own eyes, her mood couldn’t stay calm, feeling as if she was abandoned, yet she never really had him.

Tears welled up in her eyes, almost falling but not quite, and finally, they did fall.

She kept telling herself inside, she’s not a crybaby, she’s cried enough today, she can’t cry anymore, but the tears just kept coming as if they were free, more and more.

She thought she would cry for a long time before stopping.

But in the end, her tears stopped when he returned, with a pair of slippers in his hand.

"..."

Dao An didn’t leave!?

Not only did he not leave, but he also went to get her slippers?!!

Dao An came back in front of Sheng Yi, intending to place the slippers by her feet, signaling her to wear them. But when his gaze fell on Sheng Yi’s face, seeing two fresh tear streaks on her cheeks, eyes glistening with tears, he was slightly taken aback.

"Why are you crying again?"

The man’s voice was so gentle, instantly filling all her inner void, full and satisfied, no longer feeling wronged.

She quickly summed up; whenever Dao An left, she would feel sad, as long as he didn’t leave, she wouldn’t feel sad.

She shook her head, and because of this movement, the tears that hadn’t already fallen rolled down her cheeks again, she said, "I won’t cry anymore, really won’t cry."

"..."

Little crybaby.

—Tonight, she must have been terribly frightened.

—Otherwise, she wouldn’t be crying non-stop.

He thought to himself.

Seeing the tear streaks on her cheeks, his rational mind told him that he shouldn’t act out of bounds. But his hand reached out faster than his brain, his thumb gently wiping away the tear streak.

Sheng Yi was startled by his action, her body stiffened suddenly.

Then, she dazedly looked at him.

Joy rose in her heart, finally extinguished by his apologetic restraint, he withdrew his hand and said, "I was presumptuous."

Sheng Yi wanted to say it wasn’t presumptuous, but then she heard him say again, "Since I’ve been presumptuous once, let me do it again, sorry Miss Sheng Yi."

Ah?

What does it mean?

Before Sheng Yi could react, his hand reached out again.

The man’s broad palm, carrying a trace of dry warmth, clasped her wrist, then led her to the sofa to sit down. The bewildered Sheng Yi didn’t know what he was doing, only watching as he released her wrist, went back and picked up the slippers, and walked to the sofa.

He squatted down, reaching out to hold her ankle.

Sheng Yi was startled and instinctively withdrew her foot, a reaction she didn’t notice because she didn’t know what the man was going to do.

He looked up at her, his dark, deep gaze penetrating her eyes, filled with a soft voice, "Miss Sheng Yi, don’t move."

Sheng Yi complied, genuinely not moving.

Then she watched as the man before her, who couldn’t possibly belong to her, did the most unlikely thing.

He held her ankle, gently put on her slippers with such delicate and tender movements, careful, afraid that even putting on shoes might hurt her.

With both feet in slippers, Sheng Yi hadn’t yet regained her senses.

She stared blankly at the tops of her feet.

The man stood up, took the jacket draped over the edge of the sofa, hung it over his arm, and turned to the still dazed Sheng Yi and said, "I won’t disturb Miss Sheng Yi’s rest, I’ll come back tomorrow... of course, I’m coming back because the M Country police need your cooperation, don’t feel troubled, President Gu has entrusted me with this matter, and I’ll handle it properly to reassure her."

Coming back tomorrow was a selfish wish.

But he feared that his selfishness would make her dislike him; she might not want to see him anytime. So he could only say it’s to cooperate with the M Country police, adding a mention of President Gu, at least like this, she wouldn’t resist seeing him again...

Dao An thought to himself resignedly.

Having said that, he prepared to leave.

"Dao An!!"

Sheng Yi snapped back to reality, knowing he was really leaving this time, suddenly panicked, and hurriedly called his name.

The man stood about three or four meters away from her, hearing her call him, his gaze turned as if silently asking what was wrong.
