    Cried himself to sleep again…

    Cried himself to sleep again…

    “Thank you, Aunt Chen.”

    After finishing cooking, Aunt Chen immediately called Luo Yan to sit at the dining table. She placed the dishes one by one on the table and handed Luo Yan the bowl and chopsticks. Then, she took out a take-out box from the kitchen and packed the food. Although Cen Yi hadn’t asked her to prepare food for delivery, Aunt Chen, who had been taking care of Cen Yi for more than ten years, naturally understood Cen Yi’s habits. If no one delivered food to her, she would probably just eat a couple of bites of bread to get by.

    “It’s okay, eat slowly. I’m going to deliver some food. The room is on the left side of the second floor. There’s a bathroom inside. After you finish eating, just leave it here; I’ll clean it up when I get back.”

    Aunt Chen neatly packed the food, grabbed her phone, and prepared to leave.

    “Aunt Chen, aren’t you eating?” Luo Yan looked at Aunt Chen with his watery eyes.

    Adorable, innocent child. This was Aunt Chen’s evaluation of Luo Yan.

    “I’ve already eaten, child. Eat slowly. I’m leaving now, goodbye.”

    Aunt Chen answered Luo Yan’s question gently, walking towards the door as she spoke.

    At this moment, Luo Yan was the only one left in the huge villa. He quickly finished his meal and immediately went to the small room that Aunt Chen had prepared for him, closing the door and locking it. In an unfamiliar place, a small space gave him a sense of security.

    But when Luo Yan was alone in the room, the awkwardness and embarrassment he felt when facing strangers completely disappeared, replaced by sadness and anger.

    He started thinking about things related to Cen Xi again. This time, his heart ached even more, more than ever before. The person he deeply loved had left him for so long because of something unfounded. No one would feel good in this situation, especially since Luo Yan had lost his parents early. Since he was sixteen or seventeen, following Cen Xi step by step to create the CS team, he had regarded Cen Xi as family. After being with Cen Xi, Cen Xi was his everything.

    Why? Why do this to me? Luo Yan curled up by the bed, his body twitching. His heart hurt so much, so much. I’m so tired, Mom and Dad, I’m so tired. Every day has been so tiring since you left. I miss you so much… Cen Xi, what am I to you in your heart? Do you love me? Why don’t you believe me? Don’t you love me? Why did you approach me? … Please, let me go. I’m already covered in wounds…

    Luo Yan was panting, unable to catch his breath, from crying so much. He gasped for air, lay on the bed, collapsed on the floor, and cried softer and softer. Tears no longer came out, but the pain in his heart never disappeared, even intensifying as he thought about it.

    Finally, he cried himself to sleep again, his eyes already red and swollen. Anyone who saw him like this couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

    “Cen Xi really has a problem. I was already tired today, and he still chased me back. I’m his sister; don’t I have the qualifications to be a caregiver?…”

    Cen Yi placed the lunch box on the dining table. Aunt Chen usually went back to her own home at night, so she didn’t go home with Cen Yi.

    Cen Yi was chased back by Cen Xi. When Cen Xi saw Aunt Chen earlier, he had always thought that Luo Yan was being taken care of by Aunt Chen in the villa. He didn’t know that Aunt Chen would go home. When he found out, he immediately sent Cen Yi home. Luo Yan needed someone to take care of him. He was in a bad mood and wanted to be alone; Cen Xi was afraid he would do something stupid.

    “I’ll talk later; I’ll go check on Luo Yan.”

    Without hanging up the phone, Cen Yi put her phone on the table. She probably knew which room Aunt Chen had cleaned up. She quietly opened the door and peeked inside. The light was still on. Cen Yi saw Luo Yan at a glance. Why was he sitting on the floor? Cen Yi tiptoed in. Had he cried again? Sleeping like that, sigh…

    Cen Yi knew that she didn’t have the strength to lift Luo Yan onto the bed. The only thing she could do was find a blanket and cover him. Getting closer, Cen Yi could see Luo Yan’s face even more clearly. Damn it… she still wanted to hit Cen Xi. Cen Xi had turned such a beautiful child into this. Cen Xi really…

    Unbearable, really unbearable. Cen Yi took a breath and walked out of the room, picking up her phone and launching a tirade against Cen Xi, “Cen Xi really has a problem. He’s so old and still can’t handle his own emotions. Although I can understand, the person dating him is really suffering too much. Do you know how pitiful Cen Xi’s ex-boyfriend is right now? I don’t know how long he’s been crying, his eyes are red and swollen. Damn, I really want to beat Cen Xi up.”

    After hearing what the person on the other side of the phone said, Cen Yi let out a breath she had been holding in, “Okay, come back early. You beat him for me.”

    Cen Yi drank some water, went back to her room, and closed the door.
