Cheng Yi fiddled with his phone in an intermittent manner, exuding an air of decay and solitude. His gaze was dull and lifeless, and he seemed somewhat wooden, as if he'd lost his soul.
Suddenly, the hand turning his phone abruptly paused. He recalled when he had asked Xinan why Han Jibai had been near Xi's Villa that night. She hadn't answered, and Han Jibai had chosen silence. Intuition told him that something must have happened that night, and the photo was related to the incident.
Cheng Yi's heart began to throb violently. If it were true, he dared not imagine what Xinan had experienced that night.
He could have asked Xinan, but he didn't dare. He feared bringing it up would hurt her, for anyone would break down in such a situation...
At that moment, the words Han Jibai once said to him echoed in his head: "This has always been a scar on Nannan's heart. I'm afraid revealing it would hurt her."
