On the way back, Ji Fanyin opened the 'Temptation of Home' app to check on Song Shiyu's fluctuation of emotions.
She was disciplined during working hours, making sure to keep away from her phone. Thus, this was the first time she was checking on the phone since meeting up with Song Shiyu early in the morning.
The first thing she noticed was that Bai Zhou had just provided her with some pocket change. Glancing downward, Ji Fanyin was amazed by the roller coaster of emotions Song Shiyu had gone through over the course of the day. All in all, there were dozens of records.
The two largest sums came from their time in the chocolate factory and the unexpected birthday present she had gifted him while parting ways.
It was pretty much the same as what she had expected.
However, after she washed up and lay down on her bed, she habitually took one last look through the logs, and noticed the addition of another transaction.
【Song Shiyu: 100,000 Emotion Points】
Ji Fanyin chuckled a little upon seeing this record.
To have such intense emotional fluctuation at this hour, it looks like Song Shiyu has finally snapped out of it.
Ji Fanyin switched her phone to 'Do Not Disturb' mode and placed it on her bedside table before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.
…
While Song Shiyu was leaving the Ji Residence, he subconsciously stepped all the way down on the accelerator pedal, as if he was escaping from the countdown of the timer.
It was almost as if he thought that this dream would never come to an end as long as that countdown never rang, and the woman, whose eyes were filled with nothing but him, would forever remain as Ji Xinxin.
After driving a few hundred meters away, Song Shiyu finally slowed down a little and drove back home.
The fifteen hours he had spent with her were sweet and satisfying, but the overwhelming feeling of emptiness when it all came to an end made those fond memories look incomparably ironic.
After stopping in the garage, Song Shiyu didn't alight from the car right away. He remained in the driver's seat, staring at the bracelet on his wrist in a daze.
This is the present that Xinxin bought for me, and she personally put it on me…
No, that person is Ji Fanyin!
Song Shiyu's breathing suddenly stifled, and his heart began beating so furiously that it felt like something within him was going to explode. Anger filled his mind as he tore the bracelet away from his wrist, opened the car door, and proceeded to smash it onto the ground.
There was a series of clanging sounds.
Even after the echoes of those clanging sounds faded, Song Shiyu was still unable to calm his frantic breathing.
He gritted his teeth in frustration and smashed his palm down onto the steering wheel. Then, he leaped out of the car and headed to the backseat to grab the chocolate gift box. He forcefully ripped the ribbon off and held the heart-shaped chocolate up high, prepared to smash it into the wall of the garage.
But all of a sudden, his violent movements came to a halt.
In the end, he didn't throw the chocolate out.
Instead, he reached for his phone and tapped into his WeChat. He searched for Ji Fanyin's contact and removed her from his friend list without any heads up. It was only then that the suffocating sensation choking up his chest finally alleviated a little.
He looked at the heart-shaped chocolate once more, and in the end, he took it out of the garage with him.
