Letting Go of Old Love, Opening Up to New Romance - Chapter 17

Jiang Yu went on a business trip, and Sheng Boyu moved out of my house.

My life seemed to have returned to how it was before, yet it felt like something was different.

After Sheng Boyu went to Beijing, he would text me almost every night.

About a week later, a sudden heavy rainstorm hit. When I got home from work, I was soaked through, and that night I came down with a fever.

When Sheng Boyu texted me, I was burning up and didn’t notice my phone ringing. The next morning, I was awakened by a call from Sheng Boyu.

As soon as I spoke, my throat felt sore and hoarse. Sheng Boyu asked worriedly, “What’s wrong with your voice? Are you sick?”

I tugged at my dry, chapped lips and smiled faintly, “It’s nothing. I got caught in the rain yesterday and seem to have a fever. I’ll take some medicine and tough it out.”

Sheng Boyu said, “Alright, take care of yourself. I need to get busy.”

I responded with a smile and hung up the phone.

At that moment, a wave of loneliness suddenly surged in my heart. Maybe I’ve been single for too long, so when I’m sick, I feel especially vulnerable and alone.

I suddenly wished there was someone who could be by my side.

But I don’t have the good fortune of Chen Xinxin. Back then, when she was alone in a foreign city looking for work, she kept hitting walls. Unable to hold on, she called Jiang Yu.

That night, after leaving my birthday party, Jiang Yu drove all night to that city to be with her.
