What's your feeling at the beginning? The aloof lawyer is crying!

Lin Yizhi returned home, like a boat that had lost its direction, her heart full of fatigue and anxiety. She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, and Gu Jiang's figure kept appearing in her mind.

She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Every time she turned over, she was filled with anxiety. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed endless worry and longing.

Time passed slowly in silence, perhaps until dawn, when the faint morning light shone through the window onto her face, and she fell asleep unknowingly in extreme exhaustion.

However, this short sleep was not restful. Her face twitched slightly from time to time, as if she was experiencing uneasiness and confusion in her dream.

When she woke up, Lin Yizhi felt her head was dizzy, as if it was being pressed by a heavy stone.

She rubbed her temples gently with her hands, her brows furrowed, a look of pain on her face.

It must be because of the sea breeze yesterday. Now, not only do I feel uncomfortable physically, but I’m also worried about Gu Jiang. It’s really adding insult to injury.

She felt a little dizzy and felt as if the whole world was spinning. She felt dizzy and might fall down at any time.

At this point, she began to experience more discomfort.

Her throat was dry and sore, and every time she swallowed it felt like a sharp knife was cutting through it.

Her nose was a little blocked, and breathing became difficult. She could only open her mouth slightly and breathe hard. Her face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, and her originally rosy lips became dry and flaky.

She felt cold all over, and even though she was wrapped in a thick blanket, she couldn't resist the chill that penetrated from her bones. Her body trembled slightly, like a leaf swaying in the cold wind.

She tried to sit up, but found her body as heavy as lead.

She tried her best to prop up her upper body, but she immediately felt dizzy. She had to lie down again, feeling helpless and frustrated.

How could I be so useless that I fell ill at this time? Her eyes were slightly red and tears were welling up in them.

She forced herself to stand up and walked to the door opposite. Her hands were shaking slightly as she knocked on the door. The knock was particularly weak in the quiet corridor.

Her eyes were full of expectation, hoping that Gu Jiang would open the door and appear in front of her in the next second. However, after a moment, she was only responded by endless silence. Her eyes dimmed instantly, and a deep sense of loss surged in her heart.

She sighed helplessly and could only drag her heavy body back home to lie down. Her movements were slow and weak, and every step seemed to exhaust all her strength.

Lying on the bed, her eyes were empty and confused, and she fell asleep again. In a half-awake state, she was still worried about Gu Jiang, praying that he would return safely.

Gu Jiang felt extremely happy when he went out to sea to fish this time.

Over the boundless sea, brilliant sunshine poured down, gleaming golden light on the sparkling sea surface; the gentle breeze gently brushed across his face, immersing him in incomparable comfort.

This trip to the sea was extremely fruitful. The abundant catch of fish was like sparkling treasures, filling his heart to the brim, and the sense of accomplishment surged over him like a tide.

The next afternoon, Gu Jiang carried the bucket of seafood, his steps as brisk as jumping notes, his face beaming with joy, and walked happily home.

Along the way, various images of cooking seafood kept appearing in his mind, and he couldn't wait to show off his skills and make a seafood stew to reward himself. When he returned home, he anxiously dumped the seafood into the pool and happily got busy. At this time, he completely forgot about Lin Yizhi.

These wild seafoods are so fresh that they seem to have just jumped out of the sea, exuding a rich ocean scent.

Gu Jiang knows very well that for such delicious seafood, there is no need for overly complicated cooking techniques, and the original flavor is the ultimate enjoyment.

He cleaned the seafood skillfully, then gently put them into the pot to steam. Soon, the room was filled with the rich and mellow seafood aroma, which made people salivate.

After a hearty meal, Gu Jiang leaned back in his chair contentedly, his whole body still filled with fatigue.

After drifting on the sea for a whole day, he was really exhausted. So he slowly got up and walked to the bathroom, ready to wash away his fatigue. The moment he stepped into the bathroom, his eyes were instantly attracted by the bath towel used by Lin Yizhi.

His brows slightly frowned, and a sense of doubt arose in his heart.

Did Lin Yizhi leave? Why is it so quiet today?

There was a complicated look in his eyes, a hint of surprise, but also a hint of relief.

He thought to himself that it was better to leave, after all, the two of them were not on the same path.

Their meeting may just be a coincidence, and they are destined to go their separate ways in the future.

He stopped worrying about Lin Yizhi's affairs, turned and walked towards the bedroom, opened the drawer, and took out a brand new towel.

After taking a shower, he lay down on the bed tiredly and soon fell into a sweet dream.

Not long after, there was a sudden and hurried knock on the door.

Gu Jiang was still immersed in the laziness of just waking up, but was disturbed by the sudden sound. He couldn't help but feel a little impatient. He frowned slightly, and his face showed displeasure. His beautiful eyebrows were tightly twisted together, as if tied into a knot.

He had just woken up and was enjoying this moment of peace, but was interrupted by the knock on the door, which really made him a little unhappy. However, the knock on the door showed no sign of stopping and continued relentlessly, as if urging him to open the door quickly.

Gu Jiang sighed helplessly, his sigh full of helplessness and irritability. He could only slowly stand up and walk towards the door with heavy steps. With every step, he felt that his footsteps were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

When the door opened, Gu Jiang was slightly startled. It turned out to be Lin Yizhi standing at the door.

The moment Lin Yizhi's eyes saw Gu Jiang, they lit up like stars twinkling in the night sky.

Her eyes were full of surprise and relief, and the light was so dazzling that it was impossible to ignore it. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. Although her face was pale, that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, warming people's hearts.

Her voice was hoarse and low, as if it had been honed by sandpaper, with a weak texture, "I'm glad you're back."

Although her words were brief, they were full of deep concern and relief. Her eyes were fixed on Gu Jiang, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance deeply in her heart. (End of this chapter)
