Pei Xia handed the medicine to me.

I couldn't wait to swallow it, then pulled the quilt over my face.

At that moment, my mind was in chaos, and I didn't know how to look at him directly.

I said to him, "Please go out first."

Pei Xia's voice gave away no emotion; he just said faintly, "Okay."

Shortly after he left, the phone on the bedside table started ringing non-stop.

I climbed out of bed, picked up the phone, and found several anonymous emails.

When I opened them, they were all chat records between Shi Qi and Pei Xia, as well as some photos of the two of them together.

The first photo was taken during the Chinese New Year last year.

Shi Qi acted coquettishly and said to Pei Xia, "I'm so bored at home alone during the Chinese New Year. Can you come over to accompany me?"

Pei Xia was still as taciturn as ever, but he quickly replied with an "Okay."

Clean and straightforward, without the slightest hesitation.

There was also a photo attached.

Shi Qi's head was resting on Pei Xia's chest, and Pei Xia had his arm around her.

The two of them were sitting on the sofa, and Romeo and Juliet was playing on the TV in front of them.

A gorgeous firework exploded outside the window.

I clearly remembered that day I had personally cooked a big table of dishes.

Pei Xia only took a few bites before leaving on the excuse that there was an emergency at the company.

I watched the Spring Festival Gala alone in the living room and stayed up late to welcome the New Year.

It turned out that at that time, he was accompanying someone else.

I scrolled through each photo with trembling hands, feeling a sharp pain in my heart.

One by one, they were filled with Pei Xia's love for Shi Qi.

I quickly finished looking through them and scrolled to the last one.

The date was yesterday.

Shi Qi had sent Pei Xia many crying emojis.

Pei Xia hadn't replied.

At that time, he should have been kissing me.

Shi Qi called him crying.

When Pei Xia heard her sobbing, he immediately left me and ran over.

I wondered why the voice on the phone sounded so familiar—it turned out to be Shi Qi.

I had originally thought that Shi Qi didn't know that Pei Xia and I were still together, until I saw another video.

Shi Qi was crying bitterly in Pei Xia's arms, and I clearly heard her say, "When will you finally divorce that woman? Do you know how hard I've waited for you these five years?"

Pei Xia gently patted her on the head to comfort her and said, "Soon. I'm waiting for the right time."

Shi Qi pushed him away suddenly and cried, "You're a liar!"

Pei Xia pulled Shi Qi back into his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness.

He said, "You know it's always been you I loved these five years."

With that, he leaned down and kissed Shi Qi on the lips.

In the last second of the video, I saw Shi Qi smiling brightly at the camera.

In the chat records, there was a sentence Pei Xia said to Shi Qi that left a deep impression on me:

【After all these years, I'm still the happiest when I'm with you.】

My heart felt like it was being torn apart with a knife.

The last trace of trust I had in Pei Xia collapsed completely at that moment.

It was clearly Pei Xia who pursued me first five years ago, but at that time, I had someone I liked in my heart.

After being rejected by the boy I liked for the third time, I agreed to be with Pei Xia.

My heart was beating violently, and my hands couldn't stop trembling.

When Pei Xia walked in with a bowl of ginger soup, he saw me with tears streaming down my face.

He immediately walked up to me and asked what was wrong.

I saw his eyes suddenly become flustered.

I couldn't help but laugh at myself. I asked him unwillingly, "Pei Xia, do you love me?"

I asked him the same question as before, but my tone was accusatory.

Pei Xia's hand wiping my tears paused, and he said, "I do."

He replied without hesitation, but he didn't say it as firmly as before: "Of course I love you. Pei Xia loves Xiang Wan the most."

I think I already knew the answer.

Suddenly, a cloud of thick smoke drifted in from outside the window.

The balcony curtain was immediately set on fire by the wind, and we didn't notice until the smell of smoke became more and more pungent.

Pei Xia picked me up and rushed out immediately.

The elevator broke down because of the fire, so we had to take the stairs.

But the biggest source of the fire was there.
