It was as if Yun An was possessed, standing there motionlessly. Li Chen looked at him and frowned. His heart softened, and he walked over, taking off his jacket and wrapping it around Yun An’s body. The warm scent of the man, mixed with the slight fragrance of pines, engulfed him, causing him to feel extremely at ease. Yun An’s eyes were very swollen. He kept his head lowered, and his hands and feet were all icy.

Li Chen held his hand and covered it with his palms.

“Are you cold?”

Yun An shook his head. It was not cold. In fact, he felt warm and at peace.

Li Chen did not ask anything. “There’s a restaurant nearby with great vegetarian food. Let me bring you there to try it out.”

“No, I want to go home.”

Li Chen held his hand and pushed him into the car. “Even if you want to hug your blanket and cry at home, you still need to fill your stomach. Do you want to have gastric pain?”

During the meal, Yun An was very silent. Li Chen sighed helplessly. He knew that it would turn out like this. Hence, it was a good thing that he did not tell him so that he would not be so disheartened, looking like he had lost his soul.

It would be impossible for him to drive home in this state.

Li Chen’s phone rang. It was a call from the AG legal department. “Designer Li, where did you go? We have been looking for you for the entire day. We will have to confirm some details with you regarding the lawsuit. Is it convenient for you to make a trip to the company?”

Li Chen glanced at his watch. “I can’t make it in time. I’m in rural areas, and it will take more than one hour to get back. I haven’t eaten either. I won’t be going to the company tonight. I’ll go over tomorrow morning.”

“Okay. Keep your phone connected. We could not find you today. Your assistant was going crazy.”

“Alright. I got it.”

He turned his phone to silent mode, rejected all incoming calls, and did not look at anyone’s messages. He felt as conflicted as Yun An.

“Is your company very busy?”

“No,” said Li Chen lightly. “Just some miscellaneous stuff. I can just settle it anytime.”

Yun An did not speak anymore and sat in a corner with the coat wrapped around him, like a pitiful boy who had been abandoned. Li Chen looked at him deeply. “Yun An, don’t torment yourself.”

Yun An did not say anything and kept silent.

Brother Gu was too nice. It was natural for Li Chen to like him.

“Are you and Brother Gu friends who grew up together?”

Li Chen’s hand paused. “Yeah.”

“Why did he never mention it to me before?” He now understood why Brother Gu was unwilling to speak about his family. He did not want him to have any relationship with Ghost City and was afraid that he would worry.

However, why did he not even mention his friend?

“…” Li Chen seemed hesitant to say something. On the other hand, Yun An wanted to get to the bottom of this and could not help but say, “Speak.”

“I confessed to him in high school. He did not accept me. Then, I went overseas to study. I was always scared of being hated by him, so I did not appear in front of him.”

“Li Chen, I’m not a fool.” Yun An looked at him fixedly. His eyes were swollen from an entire day of crying, yet his gaze was exceptionally clear. “Brother Gu is not that kind of person. If it is true that you are very good friends with him as you said, then even if your confession failed, he would not refuse to see you or drift apart from you. You are lying to me.”

“I’m not lying.”

“You are lying to me,” said Yun An. However, he was also puzzled. “Although I don’t know what you are lying about, I know that you definitely lied. Do you dare to swear to god? If you did not conceal anything from me, I will be hit dead by a car tonight!”

“Yun An!”

Li Chen’s hand pressed against the tabletop, and the veins on the back of his hand throbbed violently. His head was also throbbing. He was enduring it with all his might.
