After dinner, Meng Yajing voluntarily cleared the dishes and was about to leave. After all, Zhai Cheng surely only wanted Song Ge to accompany him now.
Suddenly, Zhai Cheng spoke up, "Song Ge, go back and rest."
Not only Song Ge but also Meng Yajing was surprised.
"You haven't had a good rest for several days," Zhai Cheng explained.
Only then did Meng Yajing step forward to support Zhai Cheng, saying, "Yes, you've been working hard these days. Go back and have a good rest."
Song Ge was about to say something, but seeing Zhai Cheng's determined look, she had no choice but to nod.
Zhai Cheng grabbed Song Ge's hand. His look was strange, but his words were caring, "Go back and rest well."
"Okay," Song Ge replied. She always felt something was off but couldn't put her finger on it.
After Song Ge left, just as Meng Yajing was about to sit down, she heard Zhai Cheng's voice, "Mom, you can go back too."
"Ah?" Meng Yajing thought she had misheard.
"Go back," Zhai Cheng had already lain down, covered himself with the quilt, and buried his face, looking like he refused to communicate.
Meng Yajing sighed. Still worried, she temporarily found a nurse before leaving reluctantly.
The next day, Song Ge went to the hospital early in the morning because she always felt anxious.
However, when she got to the hospital, all she saw was an empty ward. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly ran to the front desk to inquire.
"Miss, I'd like to ask where the patient in Room 102 has gone?"
"Let me check for you," the nurse said. She entered some information and glanced at it. "The patient in Room 102 checked out this morning."
Checked out? Left?
But why didn't he tell her?
Song Ge's mind went blank. When she came to her senses, she left the hospital and took a taxi to the villa.
The scenery beside the taxi flashed by quickly. Why didn't he tell her he was leaving?
This question kept swirling in her mind.
She hugged her aching head. Maybe he was in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital and didn't have time to tell her. Or maybe he didn't want to trouble her.
She tried to comfort herself like this, but the next second, she clenched her fingers tightly. She knew it was impossible.
The taxi stopped steadily outside the villa. Song Ge paid the fare and got out.
Looking at the familiar villa, Song Ge suddenly felt it was strange. She even didn't have the courage to walk in.
After a long while, she finally walked into the villa.
However, as soon as she entered, she saw her suitcase in the living room.
Aunt Chen happened to appear in the hall. Song Ge grabbed her and asked, "Aunt Chen, what's going on?" Tears welled up in her eyes.
Aunt Chen hesitated and didn't know how to speak. She had just learned that she had to move Song Ge's things out and didn't know what had happened between these two young people.
"What on earth is going on?" One question after another made Song Ge a bit on the verge of collapse.
The junior assistant came downstairs with the suitcase in hand.
Aunt Chen pointed at him and said, "Ask him. He knows."
The junior assistant put the suitcase in the living room.
"What's going on?"
The junior assistant sighed. He decided to be the bad guy. "Boss said to send Miss Song's things back to your place."
Song Ge seemed to have heard a joke. Tears streamed down her face. "Send them back. What does that mean?"
The junior assistant pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Boss said he didn't want to implicate Miss Song anymore and asked Miss Song to find her own life."
Hearing this, Song Ge sneered, "Find her own life?" After a pause, she roared, "Without him, what kind of life do I still have!"
The junior assistant lowered his head and said nothing. He also felt sad because he knew how many hardships they had endured before they got together.
Aunt Chen stood aside, silently shedding tears and not knowing what to say.
Song Ge glanced at the upstairs and said, "If he has something to say, say it to my face." With that, she wanted to go upstairs, but the junior assistant stopped her.
"Miss Song, please don't make things difficult for me."
"Okay, then I'll wait for him here." Song Ge sat in the hall. She thought he would show up, but Zhai Cheng never appeared the whole day.
After repeated persuasion from Aunt Chen, Song Ge finally went back.
It was already evening. It was not easy to take a taxi near the villa. Song Ge walked back step by step. Finally, her legs and feet were numb. She couldn't feel them anymore, and her tears had dried up.
When Mother An saw Song Ge come back and saw her appearance, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Moreover, she suddenly received Song Ge's things at home today. She called Song Ge, but Song Ge didn't answer. Now seeing Song Ge like this, she seemed to understand something.
Song Ge hugged Mother An and cried, "He doesn't want me anymore. He doesn't want me anymore."
Seeing her like this, Mother An also felt very sad. "This Zhai Cheng. When he was sick, it was you who took care of him all the time. Now he's just using you and then throwing you away. I'll go find him and ask him for an explanation."
"Don't," Song Ge roared. "Don't go. Don't go."
Mother An wiped the tears from Song Ge's face and persuaded her, "Daughter, let's forget about him. People like him are out of our reach."
Song Ge didn't say a word. She just wiped the tears from her face and forced a smile. "Mom, don't worry. I'm okay. I'm going to rest."
Mother An watched her back as she walked upstairs and sighed. She knew Song Ge was just pretending to be strong.
She sat in the living room, thought for a while, picked up her phone, and was about to call Meng Yajing. But after thinking about it, she finally gave up.
Song Ge didn't turn on the light. She walked to the bed like a wooden figure and lay down. After a while, she covered her mouth with the quilt and tried hard not to make a sound while crying.
She didn't know how much time had passed. All the tears in the corners of her eyes had dried up.
Her head was dizzy, and she really wanted to sleep, but her mind was very clear.
Song Ge lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She filled the bathtub with water and lay in it. She stayed there until dawn.
"Knock, knock. Song Ge, Yilan is here," Mother An called. She was worried about Song Ge, so she called Wu Yilan over.
Song Ge got dressed and went out with Wu Yilan as if nothing had happened, but there was never a smile on her face.
"We're good sisters. Don't hold it in front of me," Wu Yilan said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Ge hugged Wu Yilan and cried, "Why did he do this? Who does he think he is to make choices for me? Why?"
Wu Yilan didn't say a word and just let Song Ge vent.
After crying, Song Ge felt a little better.
"Okay, stop thinking about those unhappy things. Sister will take you to have fun."
The two went to a nearby skating rink. However, Song Ge didn't expect to see Ji Qingzhen and Leng Jing there.
