Outside, her mother seemed to want to follow, but was held back by her father. After a while, the noise outside disappeared.
Ji Xiaoxi slid down the door she was leaning against, clutching her knees and sobbing quietly.
She was really sad, and also very angry.
But she had no idea if she was mad at Chen He, or...
Angry at herself for getting lost in desire.
Deep down, Ji Xiaoxi knew the answer.
She was just redirecting her self-disapproval into resentment towards Chen He.
As if having her boyfriend do something for her at that moment could ease the guilt she felt inside.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Xixi, open the door."
She didn't know how long it had been, when her father's voice came from outside the door.
Ji Xiaoxi wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and stood up to open the door.
A middle-aged man with a stern but gentle face stood outside, handing over a glass bowl.
"Was work too tiring today?"
