The person on the other end talked to him for a long time.
After the sound of his footsteps, it went completely quiet outside the door.
| finally got up and opened the door, only to find the insulated lunch box. left on the ground. | couldn't help but
think with self-mockery, “I knew it. Even if | left him first, she’s still the one who matters more to him. Well,
forget it, | don’t want him anymore.”
| threw the lunch box in the trash can and ordered takeout on my phone. | had thought Antowould fly straight
back hafter receiving that call. However, to my surprise, the next day when | went downstairs, | saw him
waiting at the door again, holding a bouquet of flowers.
| glanced at him, intending to leave as if | hadn’t seen him, but he followed my steps.
“Letdrive you to work. | heard that there's not much security abroad, and I'm worried about you being
alone.” Hearing that, | suddenly stopped.
Then | said, “Antonio, can you stop acting affectionate in front of me?
“In the past eight years, how many times have | called you to pickup when | waited for the bus alone after
working overtime? Do you remember what you used to say to me?
“You said | should learn from other girls, many of whom could even live totally dependent on their own. You said |

His pupils quivered at my words.
And | continued, “Now, I'm also busy with my business, so please leave and don’t botheragain.”
| walked to the roadside and hailed a taxi.
Just as | opened the door and got in, he also slipped in.
“I admit | wasn’t a good boyfriend before. Can | have a chance to make up for it? | don’t want us to break up just
because of some
misunderstandings.”
I didn’t want to waste any more twith him, so | simply closed my eyes to rest. Meanwhile, his phone kept
ringing on the way.
Impatiently. | said angrily, “Can you take care of your own business? Don’t appear in front ofanymore. We
are totally over, so what's the point of you doing this? The woman you love is waiting for you at home, not here!”
As | finished speaking, we also just arrived at the company’s building. | immediately got out and closed the door.
| left him no opportunity to speak.
As soon as | got into the elevator, | took out my phone and called.
Antonio's team leader.
“Why can he take a marriage leave without getting married? Don’t you need him at all? Can you please ask him
back immediately?”
His team leader hesitated for a while before explaining, “Antois taking his annual leave, so there's nothing |
can do.” | hung up the phone in annoyance.
For the following week, he was like a ghost, always appearing around me.
I had to say, habits were a terrible thing. It tookonly a few days to go
from angry to indifferent. On the seventh night, the landlord of my apartment called me.
| was told that sresidents upstairs had been complaining about Antonio’s disturbance. As they had often
seen him at my door, they wanted to confirm if he was my friend.
| was puzzled and asked the landlord how Antohad been disturbing the others. Then | was told that Antonio
had set up a tent downstairs, with lights on all night.
Whenever someone entered the building, he would rush up and ask for their apartment number to confirm if
they were a resident there. Quite a few people in the apartment building ended their leases early because of
this.
| hurriedly got up from the sofa and ran to the balcony.
As | had been told, | saw a glaring light in a small tent downstairs. | immediately unblocked his number and

He finally said. “I'm worried that it’s not safe for you to live here alone.
“I cover too suddenly and haven't found a place to rent in this building yet. Therefore, | can only rough it
downstairs. Oh, | have sgood news to tell you. I've applied and managed to secure a spot in my
department’s overseas training!”
He sounded very excited, just like when | dreamed about our future when
we were in love.
However, | remained indifferent upon hearing all that. After simply saying “Good for you“, | hung up directly. That
night, | suffered from insomnia.
In the early morning, a heavy rain hit, and | couldnt help but feel a bit

worried.
| went to the balcony to look down, but in the dim light, | couldn't see where he was. Annoyed, | climbed into
bed, covered my ears, and forced myself to rest.
The next day when | went to work, the rain had stopped, and the sky was as dark as if the end of the world was
coming. The spot where Antousually waited forwas empty.
