Chapter 894: Chapter 896: Unable to Change
"Sure, sure, just send me the address, and I’ll come find you tomorrow morning," Xiao Yifei quickly said. He wasn’t sure why Hu Jingtang had abruptly invited him for breakfast, but it definitely meant there was something he needed to discuss.
Xiao Yifei was incredibly relieved for taking those few seconds to answer the phone. If he had missed the call from such an important person, he would regret it deeply.
Actually, Xiao Yifei hadn’t been in the best mood all day. His work wasn’t making any progress, and his personal freedom was restricted here. He realized that his medical skill had never truly been recognized by others. Although he often comforted himself by saying that what others said shouldn’t matter, he shouldn’t take it to heart.
But he was just an ordinary person, and the repeated denial and skepticism from others had severely affected his self-confidence. Initially, he had great confidence in his medical skill, but repeated setbacks from others had made him start to doubt whether he was as skilled as he thought.
Fortunately, when things seem dire, hope appears. When enough bad things accumulate, a good thing will eventually happen, preventing life from being too hopeless. For Xiao Yifei, at this stage, Hu Jingtang was like a heaven-sent savior.
After hanging up Hu Jingtang’s call, he suddenly felt much better and had a good feeling. He felt that things would take a positive turn and move in a better direction. Although the sixth sense is said to be a woman’s prerogative, at this moment, such a premonition popped into Xiao Yifei’s mind.
With his mood improved, Xiao Yifei decided to go home tonight. So, he called the beauty inspector to report his whereabouts. After getting permission, he drove home, humming a tune along the way. He felt he hadn’t been this happy in a long time.
But this feeling of having his personal freedom restricted was indeed unpleasant. Xiao Yifei thought that he must quickly find evidence. This time, he would not let Zheng Peng off easily.
At home, Tang Rong was lying on the sofa, putting on a face mask while watching a drama. Life couldn’t be more comfortable.
"Why didn’t you call me after getting off work?" Xiao Yifei asked.
"Nine out of ten times when I call you, you don’t answer, so I didn’t bother. Anyway, you would call me when you have time," Tang Rong said casually.
Xiao Yifei sensed something odd in the atmosphere today. Judging from Tang Rong’s tone, could she be upset? Xiao Yifei thought carefully but couldn’t think of anything that could have made her angry. So he said, "I’ve been really busy the past few days. As soon as I had free time tonight, I came to see you."
"Are you really that busy that you don’t even have time for a ten-minute call?" It was evident that Tang Rong was trying to control her emotions. She didn’t want to be unreasonable, making herself appear like a little girl who hadn’t grown up.
However, her boyfriend seemed to have disappeared. For three whole days, he hadn’t called once. Previously, she would call him several times a day, and he would be lucky to answer one or two. She used to comfort herself by saying that he was a doctor, so he must be busy every day.
This time she didn’t take the initiative to call him, and he didn’t call or even text her. She used to find evidence of Xiao Yifei’s love in buying her delicious food, picking her up after work to go home together.
But now, she couldn’t even see his shadow. Where was the love? She always thought that maybe Xiao Yifei was just a little shy and didn’t like to show his love openly, but now she felt that Xiao Yifei simply didn’t care about her.
"I’m sorry, I really haven’t cared enough about you lately. Once things calm down, I’ll be free," Xiao Yifei walked over to Tang Rong and sat next to her on the sofa.
"I came back today just to see you. Let’s not be angry anymore and have a good talk, okay?" Xiao Yifei said, holding Tang Rong’s hand.
"I’m really tired right now and don’t want to talk to you. Let’s talk when I feel like it, okay?" With that, Tang Rong got up from the sofa and walked into her bedroom. As soon as she closed the door, Xiao Yifei heard the sound of it being locked from the inside.
Xiao Yifei knew that at this time, he should go to her, say something to make her happy, and coax her. Girls need to be coaxed and pampered. He wanted to get up, but suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn’t quite identify if it was fatigue or something else, but suddenly, he just didn’t want to do anything.
Xiao Yifei laid down on the sofa. He really was exhausted lately, both physically and mentally drained. He didn’t even know what he was thinking. He thought maybe he shouldn’t have come home tonight, and he didn’t know how his relationship with Tang Rong had come to this point.
He only knew that when they first got together, his mind was filled with thoughts of her. Whenever he had time, he wanted to call her, just to hear her voice. Just a few words with Tang Rong could bring him peace.
But he didn’t know when he suddenly stopped wanting to call her. Sometimes, when he had free time and took out his phone, the thought of calling Tang Rong would cross his mind, but quickly, another voice in his head would say, "Don’t call, she’s probably busy right now." So he did nothing, feeling justified.
Was it because he didn’t like her anymore? Probably not. Maybe it was because they had been together for so long. Xiao Yifei felt that Tang Rong would always be there waiting for him and would never leave. He felt that his feelings for Tang Rong now were like those for a family member.
No matter how far we go and how rarely we call home, we don’t worry about our parents being mad or ignoring us because we are certain that our parents will always love us. This fact cannot be changed.
However, we don’t know if someone else will always love us, so we cautiously test the waters, looking for evidence of their love in various details. Over time, we become tired and fatigued.
Xiao Yifei lay on the sofa, and a wave of drowsiness washed over him. He didn’t know when he fell asleep.
Inside the room, Tang Rong had intended not to speak to Xiao Yifei out of spite, afraid that, once angry, she wouldn’t be able to control herself and say things she shouldn’t. But she hadn’t expected that as soon as she turned and went into the room, Xiao Yifei didn’t even come to coax her.
This made her feel even more that Xiao Yifei no longer loved her. She couldn’t focus on watching her drama anymore, so she took off the half-applied face mask and climbed into bed, reflecting on the bits and pieces of their time together over the past year. It was so wonderful at the start. She didn’t know when things had shifted between them. noveldrama
Once someone has expectations, they’re like a child in kindergarten waiting to be picked up, looking eagerly at the door.
Tang Rong wondered if perhaps her demands were too much. When she first got together with Xiao Yifei, although it was because of affection, she hadn’t fully immersed herself in the love, so she didn’t have too many expectations of Xiao Yifei. Yet, it was precisely then that Xiao Yifei treated her the best.
