Five.

Lin Dongming! Qin Fangrui suddenly rushed into the rain and shouted at a burst of exhaust fumes, "I hope you treat Xiang Xiang well! Don't let that woman bully her! If she doesn't live well in the future, I will take your lives!"

"Mom!" Lin Jingxiang finished arguing with Chen Jinmo today, and she was full of anger with nowhere to vent. Impatiently pushing away Qin Fangrui, she glanced at me by the table, pointing to an orange paper bag in her hand, "That one is for Lin Jingyuan, I can't wear so many."

Oh... Chen Jinmo was somewhat surprised. His voice was very soft, and there was a moment of silence on the phone. His tone carried a hint of amusement, "She doesn't want me anymore."

The room is eerily quiet.

I glanced at Qin Fangrui, Lin Jingxiang is her destiny, I am her debt collector, if I don't have a good life in the future, Qin Fangrui won't have a good life either.

If you come to accompany me, I will be happy. Chen Jinmo burped and spoke softly, as if he had drunk too much. The sound of rain mixed with his murmurs, "I'm happy, I'm happy."

Cannot cry.

Just like this city, we stay up all night, with young faces covered in a hazy and indelible sorrow that cannot be dissolved or cut away.

I listened in silence.

The car rushed down the slope, splashing water all over the ground, mercilessly merging into the road, and disappearing in the rain in the blink of an eye. No one cared about the poor woman behind.

However, to my great surprise, the phone rang at this moment.

I listened disdainfully, thinking to myself why didn't I leave earlier. If she had been a little gentler towards Lin Dongming, things would have been better and they wouldn't have ended up never speaking to each other until death.

Three steps became two steps. I quickly arrived in front of Qin Fangrui, holding the umbrella above her head. She looked up and glanced at me quickly, then continued crying.

"Not happy?" Whenever Chen Jinmo is not happy, he becomes unserious, laughs louder than usual, and speaks without shame.

I feel very uncomfortable.

I held my phone and looked out the window. The heavy rain filled the sky, gloomy and desolate.

You can mind your own business, she has clothes to wear. Qin Fangrui didn't even look at me, what she said is true. Most of my clothes are leftovers from Lin Jingxiang's wardrobe. I have a whole closet full of them, enough to keep me warm without their interference.

I said, "She dumped me." Chen Jinmo smiled bitterly. As he continued to smile, he choked on his own breath and coughed. After he stopped coughing, it suddenly became very quiet across from him.

Ah-- Qin Fangrui lay on the ground, and the heavy rain instantly soaked her whole body. She cried loudly, looking miserable.

Quietly... He sighed heavily, as if all his strength had been drained from his body. His tone was filled with sadness, which was heartbreaking. "I feel uncomfortable..."

A man who becomes ruthless can also make people feel cold-hearted.

She really left like this... His voice carried a touch of sorrow.

My left ear was originally not good. Now it's buzzing and I can't hear any sound. I don't know if I'm deaf.

Lin Dongming drove the car downstairs and came up to help Lin Jingxiang move things. I lay on the bed with my back to them, pretending to be asleep, unwilling to see the fake scene of parting.

Qin Fangrui let his emotions die, while I let him lose hope for the future. Only Lin Jingxiang is his treasure, the future he is willing to invest in, so he took her away regardless of everything.

I was momentarily speechless.

Without them, you wouldn't die.

Chen Jinmo, my parents got divorced, and Lin Jingxiang left with Lin Dongming today. My tone became very serious, and I didn't care if he could understand or not.

PaーーShe gave me a fierce slap.

"Still not asleep?" I lay flat, looking at the ceiling, and heard a chuckle from the other end, teasing me, "Thinking of you so much that I can't sleep."

The palm of my hand bears a crescent-shaped bloodstain that I pinched out. I hold rainwater, clenching it into a fist, and the icy rainwater flows out from between my fingers.

The air is all terrifyingly stiff.

The rain was pouring down like the sound of beans being sifted, dispelling my sleepiness. I held my phone and opened the text message from Shen Xingmo, then scrolled to Chen Jinmo's number. I hesitated, closing and opening my eyes repeatedly. After doing this several times, I sighed and placed my phone on the bedside table.

It was pouring rain outside, with thunder rumbling. Qin Fangrui was wearing thin pajamas, her face pale, motionless like a zombie. She looked at Lin Jingxiang and Lin Dongming getting into the car with resentment, started the car, and drove away.

They walked out of the door, and I secretly got up from bed.

I secretly think, at worst, we can just consume each other.

Once I regained my strength, I went up there and made a scene, making the neighbors laugh. My cheeks were sore, and a few strands of hair fell in front of my eyes, blocking Qin Fangrui's resentful gaze.

Put it in my suitcase, my dad will pick me up tomorrow, make sure everything I need to bring tonight is organized. Lin Jingxiang loosened her hair and went to take a shower in slippers. Qin Fangrui heard what she said and responded with a smile, "Okay, okay, Mom will go now."

Tranquil Yuan, brother misses you. Do you miss me?

Qin Fangrui went into the room after taking a shower and never came out. I was afraid that she might do something irrational, so I leaned against the door and listened for a while. It wasn't until I heard her deafening snoring that I left.

At this moment, I suddenly realized that in the future, it will only be Qin Fangrui and me relying on each other. Lin Dongming abandoned us, his mother and daughter, like throwing away two useless rags.

Chen Jinmo smiled faintly, as if he didn't want to hear any words of comfort, and quickly hung up the phone.

The next day, it started pouring rain, but Lin Jingxiang still left.

In my hands, I have nothing.

Lin Jingxiang stood at the door, holding her toiletries. When Lin Dongming came out, they went downstairs one after the other, with Qin Fangrui following them with two umbrellas.

Drag oil bottle.

The air seemed to have solidified at this moment.

The rain didn't stop until midnight.

After I finished eating noodles, Lin Jingxiang came back, followed closely by Qin Fangrui, who was carrying a bunch of bags. Qin Fangrui entered the door with a big smile on her face, closed the door with a kick of her leg.

Qin Fangrui pushed me away, glared at me with resentment, and then walked into the corridor. What disappointed me was that she never cared whether my ears and cheeks hurt or not from the beginning to the end.

I put on my coat, went to her room to get her overcoat and umbrella, and went straight downstairs.

With my fingernails tightly digging into the flesh of my palm, I looked up and gazed at the endless curtain of rain, trying hard to hold back my tears. Lin Jingyuan, this is just the beginning, the battle with Qin Fangrui will be a long one.

She sat on the ground, with her legs apart, her pajamas soaked in dirty water, dyed black, her face wet, crying loudly, making it hard to tell if it's rain or tears.

Xiang Xiang, your mother won't have a chance to buy clothes for you anymore. Take these, and these too, and wear them with dignity. You look good and have a good figure. You'll be living with Lin Dongming and that vixen. I'm afraid they'll mistreat you.Qin Fangrui handed the shopping bag in her hand to Lin Jingxiang like a treasure.

Lin Jingyuan, are you happy to see me like this? Don't even think about it. I'm not going to have an easy time, and you'll suffer too! She roared through gritted teeth.

Slowly relax myself, adjust my rapid breathing, I open my mouth, learn to face these things with a smile, reach out my hand to the sky outside the umbrella, and scoop up a handful of rainwater.

Qin Fangrui held her arms and kept urging Lin Dongming about Lin Jingxiang's daily life, like a virtuous wife and mother sending her husband and daughter off on a long journey.

Oh, I see. I stood with one hand in my pocket, clenched into a fist, looking down at her, feeling fortunate that she used her left hand to hit me, so the force wasn't that strong.

I still don't know how to comfort him.

Chen Jinmo? I called out to him.

I can only hear each other's breathing.

Um? I'm asking a question I already know the answer to.

I shivered with anticipation as I picked up my phone. I couldn't quite explain it, but deep down, I hoped it was him calling. The screen flashed with the three words "Chen Jinmo." I calmly answered, only to hear his mischievous voice on the other end.

I don't know why, but every time I talk to Qin Fangrui, I can't help but get angry. The words I say are as harsh and offensive as the ones she used to curse me. Sure enough, when Qin Fangrui heard this sentence, she immediately became energetic and bounced up from the ground.

In the cabinet there are several packs of instant noodles. I quickly solved dinner by eating them. Qin Fangrui has not been eating anything, and I am afraid she will faint from hunger. I cooked a home-style dish and kept it warm in the rice cooker before finally feeling relieved enough to go to sleep.
