After being rejected by the school beauty, he picked up a treasure girl

Yang Xiaozhi slowly stepped into the territory of Yongsheng Supermarket.

Gently pushed open the office door, which seemed even lonelier in the cold night.

With the hum of the door hinge, an unexpected cold atmosphere suddenly came over me, as if even the air had frozen the bleakness of winter.

In the early hours of New Year's Eve when thousands of houses were lighting up and celebrating the New Year, he had never expected that

I would suddenly become the only visitor in this empty office, and everything around me was shrouded in a faint loneliness.

It seems particularly unusual.

Under the light, his figure was stretched out, forming a sharp contrast with the silence around him, adding a bit of loneliness and contemplation.

Yang Xiaozhi took a deep breath, trying to dispel the inexplicable chill and loneliness in his heart.

He looked around, and everything in the office seemed to be sleeping in the tranquility of the end of the year and the beginning of the next year.

The tables and chairs are arranged neatly, but without the hustle and bustle of the past.

The computer screen glowed faintly in the darkness, as if silently waiting for the command to wake it up.

He walked to the desk and lightly pressed the switch. Soft light instantly filled the entire space, dispelling some of the coldness.

Yang Xiaozhi sat down slowly and took out a yellowed notebook from the drawer. That was where he recorded his work details and his mental journey.

As his fingertips stroked the paper, he felt a long-lost sense of security and tranquility, as if at this moment, all the troubles of the outside world were isolated outside the door.

Outside the window, gorgeous fireworks bloomed quietly, with the sky as their backdrop.

Draw a colorful picture scroll, the bright light shines through the window,

The light scattered in the room, gently covering the quiet night with a festive attire.

But it seems difficult to touch the loneliness deep in Yang Xiaozhi's heart.

Against the backdrop of the prosperity of the outside world, his heart was actually rippling even deeper.
The feeling of loneliness comes uninvited, like an imperceptible shadow in the night.

He slowly stood up from his chair, his figure looking particularly slender and lonely in the interweaving of light and shadow.
Then, he took heavy but firm steps forward and came to the half-open window.

He gazed out the window at the dreamy night sky dotted with fireworks.

The blooming of each firework is like a brief sigh in the universe, beautiful but short-lived, making people yearn for it but yet unattainable.

Yang Xiaozhi's fingertips gently touched the cold window glass, as if trying to penetrate this barrier.

Go and feel the distant and warm festive atmosphere.

His thoughts drifted back to the past, and the warm scenes of spending the holidays with family and friends emerged in his mind.

The laughter and happy reunions form a sharp contrast to the loneliness at this moment.

An indescribable sadness surged in his heart, but he quickly took a deep breath and buried the emotion deeply.

When he turned around, his eyes fell on the bright photo on the table - it was a photo of him and Chen Fang when they first reunited with their family.
Chen Fang above has a bright smile and is full of happiness.

He gently picked up the photo frame and stroked the familiar face with his fingertips.

I silently made a wish in my heart, hoping that one day in the future,
I can renew my relationship with her and share the beauty and warmth of this world.

Putting down the photo frame, Yang Xiaozhi's eyes became more determined.

So he picked up his coat, turned around and walked out the door.

In the darkness, his figure gradually blended into the surrounding tranquility.

About half an hour later, he was already on the outskirts of a high-end residential area.

The lights in the community are dim, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding tranquility.

He stopped and looked up involuntarily. Between the towering buildings,
The twinkling lights seemed like the stars in the night sky falling into the mortal world, distant yet fascinating. He stared at those warm lights, with complex emotions surging in his heart.

He took a deep breath, letting the cool air fill his chest, as if this would make him more sober and determined.

Then, he took a step and walked slowly along the path outside the community.
Searching for the destination that he had already outlined in his mind countless times - a place where he hoped to find answers or comfort.

However, when he finally arrived at the destination he had been dreaming of,

But his feet involuntarily froze in place, as if restrained by an invisible force.

A complex emotion welled up in my heart, a mixture of desire and self-blame.

He knew very well that at this moment, no matter what his position was,
They have all lost the qualifications to disturb her peaceful life.

This clear realization was like a huge rock pressing on his heart, preventing him from moving forward.

Just then, a breeze blew by, bringing with it the coolness and fragrance of flowers that are unique to the night.

The light breeze blew away the hair on his forehead, and seemed to take away a bit of the heaviness in his heart.

He took a deep breath and looked through the dim lights in front of him.
I tried to find that familiar figure in the vast crowd, but it was in vain.

He realized that the real distance is not just the physical distance, but also the gap in the heart.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly and forced a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps, letting go is also a kind of love.

So he slowly turned around, intending to leave quietly, burying this unfulfilled emotion deep in his heart.

However, fate always plays tricks on him so unexpectedly. Just as he took a step forward, he was nailed to the spot by an unknown force.

Standing before him was a person he had never expected to meet at this moment—the person he missed day and night and was obsessed with.

Her appearance is like the brightest star in the night sky.
It instantly illuminated all his dark corners, but also caught him off guard, causing ripples in his heart.

Faced with this sudden surprise, he was stunned, and all his thoughts seemed to freeze at this moment.
Only his panic-stricken eyes betrayed his inner feelings.

"Yang Xiaozhi, what are you doing here?" A slightly surprised voice broke the silence. It was Chen Fang.

She was the first to break the suffocating silence and also pulled him back from his astonishment.

He tried to calm his heartbeat, which was accelerating due to excitement, and took a deep breath, trying to find his voice.

"Afang...I...I..."

Yang Xiaozhi's voice was trembling, and his words were full of confusion and helplessness.

He looked up at her, his eyes filled with mixed emotions, but he didn't know how to start.

"Afang, please listen to my explanation. I really didn't come here on purpose."

He tried to make his tone sound more sincere.

"I just...just..."

At this point, his words choked up again, as if all the reasons seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

Ah Fang stared at Yang Xiaozhi, "Just what?"

Yang Xiaozhi finally lowered his head, his voice low and hoarse:
"I just have nowhere to go."

A Fang's eyes flashed with mixed emotions when she heard this. She asked softly:

"Today is New Year's Eve, a time for families to reunite. How could you have no place to go?" (End of this chapter)
