The heavy rain fell. Ji Yao looked at the dense rain curtain and suddenly had a headache.

I didn’t bring an umbrella, so why not take a taxi back?

Ji Yao just took out her mobile phone and was about to call a taxi, but found that her mobile phone was out of power and turned off.

She thought to herself that she was unlucky, and looked at the rain that had become a little lighter at this moment. Finally, she gritted her teeth, covered her head with her hands, and rushed into the rain curtain.

The cold rain falling on her body was very similar to the feeling of leaving the Lu family in the heavy rain that night.

Just as she ran to a bus station, Ji Yao was hiding from the rain on the platform.

This feeling of helplessness and loneliness reminded her of the days when she was with Lu Jincheng. She hoped that he would look back at her, but she couldn't do anything.

A sour feeling rose in her heart, and Ji Yao's lips curved into a wry smile.

Why do you still think about the two of them inadvertently even though you have divorced Lu Jincheng?

Ji Yao shook her head and looked towards the street.

She suddenly found that this was a familiar street.

She and Lu Jincheng once liked to eat dumplings at a dumpling shop on this street. The owner and his wife were very nice. They went there when they were poor, and the wife secretly took care of them and would often cook a few more dumplings in their bowls.

Thinking of that memory, Ji Yao's eyes already burst into tears.

She suddenly wanted to go there again and take a look.

Fate plays tricks on people like that.

When she saw that the dumpling shop was still closed, she let out a sigh of relief, but when she was about to run into the shop, she realized that there was a customer inside whose back looked very similar to Lu Jincheng.

Just similar?

No, it’s Lu Jincheng.

She and Lu Jincheng have lived together for many years, and she can recognize Lu Jincheng just from his back.

After all, Ji Yao couldn't hold back her tears and burst out.

As soon as she entered the door, she turned around and wiped away the tears on her face with the back of her hand. Before she could finish wiping, the landlady at the front desk made a surprise sound.

"Hey, isn't this Yaoyao?"

Lu Jincheng, who was eating dumplings in the store, paused. He did not turn around immediately to look, but just stayed at the table, but even stopped chewing the dumplings.

Seeing that Lu Jincheng didn't respond, the landlady immediately walked out from the front desk with a smile on her face.

"I just said, why are you here alone today? Isn't Yaoyao here now? Hey, Yaoyao, come in and sit down."

Ji Yao wiped away her tears, turned her head and smiled at the landlady without squinting.

"Sister Hua, I'm just passing by to get out of the rain. I'll be leaving soon."

The boss's wife, Sister Hua, was stunned. No matter how slow he was, he could still see that the two of them were no longer what they were before.

She guessed that the two of them had a fight.

"Xiao Lu...what's wrong with you? If there is any misunderstanding, please explain clearly."

Sister Hua's words reminded Lu Jincheng that he was originally stunned because he was debating whether to continue to pester Ji Yao. After all, Ji Yao had always been quite annoying to him before.

Apart from silently doing something for Ji Yao, he felt that appearing in front of Ji Yao would only annoy her.

This time he no longer hesitated and stood up directly and walked towards Ji Yao.

Ji Yao turned her head after saying that, and didn't see any reaction from Lu Jincheng and Sister Hua, but the tears she just wiped away fell again as if they were free of money.

Ji Yao could feel someone standing behind her. Her breathing quickened and her heart pounded.

"Didn't you bring an umbrella?"

It was just an ordinary greeting, but Ji Yao panicked.

She felt that she should hate Lu Jincheng, but for some reason, she only felt endless sadness in her heart at this time.

If I hadn't met Lu Jincheng, would I have been better off than now?

If I didn't like Lu Jincheng, would I be happier than now?

But there are no ifs for everything. She did not answer Lu Jincheng's question, and Lu Jincheng quietly looked at her face from the side and behind.

Ji Yao's hair was wet by raindrops, and strands stuck to her clothes. Some of her hair was dripping with water, or stuck to her cheeks.

It looks like a little drowned rat.

He couldn't help but raise his hand to smooth out Ji Yao's messy hair, but the moment his hand touched Ji Yao's hair, Ji Yao's whole body trembled.

At that moment, his heart felt terribly uncomfortable. He paused and then retracted his hand.

"If you don't bring an umbrella, I can give you a ride on the way. You might catch a cold tomorrow if you go back like this."

Lu Jincheng's voice was so gentle that Ji Yao even felt that the current Lu Jincheng was not the same person as the Lu Jincheng who abandoned her pregnancy.

Can……

How could there be two Lu Jinchengs in this world?

It can only be said that this is a reflection of whether a person loves you or not.

She could clearly feel that Lu Jincheng didn't love her before.

Now?

It seems to be love.

But what's the use?

When I loved him, he abandoned her like a shoe. If I no longer loved him, he treated her like a treasure.

People are really mean.

"No need, I can go back by myself." Ji Yao said coldly.

Lu Jincheng laughed angrily at Ji Yao's words, looked at her appearance, and spoke angrily.

"How do you plan to go back? Just go back in the rain like this?"

Ji Yao was obviously thinking carefully about Lu Jincheng's words, and turned to look at Sister Hua after a few seconds.

"Sister Hua, can you lend me the umbrella in your store? I'll deliver it tomorrow."

Lu Jincheng was immediately choked up by Ji Yao's reaction. It seemed that she was determined not to send him back.

Sister Hua was a little hesitant. In her opinion, this was just a quarrel between the young couple.

"Sister Hua, no need, I'll just send her back." Lu Jincheng rejected Sister Hua's kindness.

Sister Hua also saw through Lu Jincheng's thoughts and quickly helped.

"Yes, yes, I will need the umbrella later, so let Xiao Lu take you back."

Ji Yao pursed her lips, neither agreeing nor rejecting.

In the end, Ji Yao still got on Lu Jincheng's car. The reason was that she would be criticized by the company if she took leave due to illness not long after she was promoted.

Ji Yao still gave in because of workplace relationships.

Sitting in the back seat, Ji Yao turned her head and looked out the window, as if she just took a ride with a driver she didn't know.

Lu Jincheng frequently looked at Ji Yao's face in the rearview mirror and wanted to speak, but didn't know where to start.

"I really don't know about your mother's illness." Lu Jincheng said sincerely.

Ji Yao's slightly lowered eyes trembled and she did not speak.

She actually knew that Lu Jincheng didn't know about all this, but it seemed that there was no need to say anything in the first place. She didn't want to use this to gain sympathy.

Seeing that Ji Yao didn't speak for a long time, Lu Jincheng spoke again anxiously.

"I know I was wrong, I hope you can give me a chance."

Ji Yao still didn't answer. She covered her temples. She didn't know if it was because of the alcohol she drank just now, or if she really had a cold and was a little dizzy.

Lu Jincheng was about to say something when he heard Ji Yao's cold voice: "I'm home, thank you for giving me a ride."
