Liang Liang stared blankly ahead as he slipped into the past, unable to snap back to reality.
Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes as he looked at the man.
What sort of relationship had they had that would leave the man in this state? And for Traceless to call out his name in her sleep when she was injured?
He stared at Liang Liang as he contemplated these questions, suddenly feeling a surge of unfamiliar jealousy.
He felt jealous that there was a part of Traceless’ past that he had never been involved in, that he would never know.
He frowned, knowing that he shouldn’t be feeling this way.
After all, when Liang Liang and Traceless were a couple, he had not met or known her.
He tried hard to convince himself as he stared at Liang Liang and continued asking, “Then what happened between the two of you?”
What exactly happened?
Liang Liang laughed bitterly at the memory.
Meanwhile Qiao Yiyi, who was on the window outside, let out a mocking smile.
What had happened?
She had misplaced her trust. How could she have been so naive to think that a thief could ever live in harmony with a police officer?
She chortled and then heard Liang Liang Liang continue, “Later on—”
Before he could finish, Qiao Yiyi narrowed her eyes and rapped on the window.
For reasons that she couldn’t quite explain, she didn’t want Lu Nanze to know what had happened between Liang Liang and her.
Those silly things only served to make herself look foolish.
In the last half a year, she had chided herself countless times for being such a fool.
But now that was history.
Indeed, the two men stopped in the midst of their conversation when they heard the rapping on the window. Liang Liang immediately exclaimed, “Who’s there?!”
Qiao Yiyi’s pupils narrowed and she turned at once, planning to escape through the ground floor.
Just as she jumped, the window was thrown open. At once, Liang Liang’s head popped out.
The moment he saw her silhouette, he reflexively shouted after her, “Traceless!”
Qiao Yiyi halted.
She turned back suddenly and lifted her head to look at him.
The light in the room casted a glow on him.
His back was to the light, so she could not make out the expression on his face. But a sense of loneliness seemed to emanate from his solitary figure and for a moment, as she looked at him, she was filled with a sense of bitterness.
But only for a moment.
All of a sudden, she laughed.
Those emotions belonged to the past. What was the point of feeling sad and distraught for this man now?
In that split second, the weight in her heart was lifted and slid away.
The sadness she had been harboring was because of her old desire to be with him. She had been hurt by the man.
She just hadn’t been able to get over it.
How could she have fallen for his lies just like that?
But now…
When she realized that Liang Liang was no different from her, still holding on to their past, she suddenly felt relieved.
Relationships…
If they weren’t made for each other, then they shouldn’t seek to be together.
There was no point in forcing it.
And the two of them truly didn’t suit each other.
So even if they hadn’t broken up then, they might have possibly broken up later on.
They were too different.
Besides, there was that other matter that came between them. She could never bring herself to forgive him.
At this thought, Qiao Yiyi turned and ran away, disappearing into the darkness.
There was no hesitation, only a swift decisiveness.
