"Hungry."

With only a door separating them, their voices were not loud, but they could both hear each other clearly.

Ye Jiaqi nodded: "The rice is gone, but there is still some noodles at home. I will give you a bowl of noodles as... repaying the kindness of the first meeting."

"Ye Jiaqi, you..." Josnian's heart beat violently, and the violent beating was mixed with pain. He did not expect that she would say such things.

With a few moderate sounds, Ye Jiaqi finally opened the door.

Under the moonlight, she was wearing simple home clothes, with black hair draped over her shoulders, gentle eyebrows, and a slight rosiness on her thin lips and cheeks. She looked just like she did when she was young, as if she had not changed over the years.

Pass.

There was no light at the door, it was very dark, but you could still see the subtle expression on her face, indifference and quietness.

Josnian put one hand on the door and stared at the woman in front of him.

He only saw her briefly during the day, and he didn't see enough of her. But at this moment, he kept looking at her under the moonlight.

Ye Jiaqi didn't look at him and wanted to turn around and go back to the house.

But she was stopped by Josnian.

"Aren't you hungry? I'll go get it for you."

"I'm not hungry anymore."

Ye Jiaqi frowned: "You went back on your word."

"It's not that I'm going back on my word. If you treat it as a favor to repay me when we meet for the first time, what's the point?"

"There is no meaning between us..."

"For you, these twenty years have been a dream? Right?" Josnian looked into her eyes, trying to capture every expression of hers.

It's a pity that she is like the calm water, motionless and without any expression.

"Whatever you think of it, just don't think of it as love. If you're not hungry anymore, just leave."

"Where do you want me to go?"

"Go to Principal Wang. He has enough say in the village and he will arrange everything for you."

With that said, Ye Jiaqi was about to push him away and close the door.

However, Josnian refused to let her go. He blocked the door and tried to hold her arm.

"Jia Qi, don't drive me away. Can we have a chat? One night, just one night. If you still insist on your current ideas after the chat, then I respect your choice and I will leave."

Ye Jiaqi shook his head: "I don't want to talk to you."

"You really don't want to give me a chance."

"Master Qiao, you can find a better one." She didn't even look at him from beginning to end, looking elsewhere.

She used to be greedy for his appearance, his warmth, and his kindness to her... but now she wants nothing.

There was a bunch of roses on the ground, and he actually... picked them up from the yard.

The flowers have been ravaged into disgrace, the petals have withered and are no longer bright, and they no longer look beautiful.

She seems...not to be moved by roses anymore.

In her eyes, it is just a flower.

And his usual methods are still the same.

"Why should I look for something better? I just want to find the one I love." He looked into her eyes, trying to see some waves in her eyes, but there was still nothing.

She is too quiet, as quiet as the moonlight.

Ye Jiaqi shook his head: "I'm going to close the door."

"Don't you want me to go in?"

"In no mood."

Josnian nodded, let go of his hand, and took a step back: "Close the door."
