Chapter 2223: Gradually Becoming Distant Strangers

Ji Qingyan's body trembled, her gentle gaze tinged with a trace of heartache.

The Lin Yi of the past, how could he have turned out like this?

He had always done as he pleased, never bothering to explain so much to others.

And he was never as ill at ease as he was now.

It was all her own doing, driving him to this point.

Gently, Ji Qingyan extended her hand, caressing Lin Yi's face.

No one knew the complicated turmoil in her heart at that moment, the countless contradictions growing in her chest like thorny brambles.

They were like two high-speed trains colliding within her body.

Ji Qingyan had overheard enough of the conversation downstairs to understand, even without seeing his expression, the helplessness in Lin Yi's heart.

Those cigarettes he hadn't smoked in ages were the best proof of his feelings.

Over these three-plus years, she had spent the most time by Lin Yi's side; no one understood him better than she did.
