Chapter 5 Chapter Four

Izumi Sonoko is often regarded as a steady woman, in large part because of her appearance.She is definitely not fat, but the shape of her face creates an optical illusion and she is often described as "a little chubby".The Japanese just have a preconceived notion that women of this type are generally "stable". She also thinks that she is not without "stableness", and she has more opposites to "stableness": she is both nervous and timid, only jealousy is twice as strong as others.Sometimes even she herself hates this personality. But Yuanzi thinks that even if he is really "stable", it is impossible not to notice the changes in Runyi in the past two months.His attitude was just so noticeably different.

First of all, the number of appointments has become very small.He said it was because he was busy.But in the past, even if he didn't have time during the day, he would suddenly visit in the middle of the night. There are fewer phones, too.It should be said that he almost never took the initiative to call, and Yuanzi always called him.Junichi would also respond to her words, but he would never take the initiative to bring up new topics, as if he was afraid of prolonging the phone call. Sonoko couldn't help but feel the ominous footsteps gradually approaching.She wanted to know what happened to Run Yi.

But she dared not ask.Because she felt that it was like taking away the brackets of a building that was on the verge of collapse.She fantasizes that maybe after a while, this building that is on the verge of collapse will be righted again. However, Sonoko is later forced to recognize her innocence. ※※※ Just this Monday.Junichi called Sonoko's company.He hasn't done this in a long time.He asked if he could come to her apartment tonight. "Of course. Then I'll cook and wait for you." "No, I'll go after dinner. I have a social meeting tonight." "Do you want to prepare wine then?"

"Sorry, I have to go back to the company after that..." "That's it..." "Then, see you tonight." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone. Even though she was able to meet Junichi, Sonoko wasn't in the mood for joy at all. Instead, fear took over her heart.She was sure he had come to deliver the desperate news to her. But she couldn't escape, so she waited for him in the room.That night, she couldn't eat. Runyi finally came, and after entering the room, he didn't loosen his tie, and he didn't drink the coffee served by the garden.

Then, he said with a blunt expression.Please forget me──It was the scariest sentence Sonoko expected. Why?she asked.Because I fell in love with someone else, he replied. "Who is it? What kind of person is it?" Yuanzi continued to ask.To which he made no answer.She thought something was wrong, so she pressed her further, crying. Maybe because he thought it would be impossible to talk if he kept it secret, Junichi finally said the name.Yuanzi never expected such a name.Because it was so unexpected, she didn't even know who the owner of that name was for a while. "You lied to me, right?" Sonoko said. "Why Jia Shizi?"

"Sorry." Runyi lowered his head.
