Chapter 233 is about Liu Shiyin...

After dropping Li Qingyou off at home, Gu Heng drove home alone. The night breeze was cool, stirring his somewhat heavy thoughts.

His mind was in turmoil, his thoughts tangled like a jumbled mess of threads.

He pulled his car over to the side of the road and stopped under a street lamp on the corner. He looked up at the dim, swaying light, as if searching for some kind of guidance.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then slowly took out his phone from his pocket. His finger slid lightly across the screen, finally landing on Huo Muchen's contact information. He hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and gently pressed the dial button.

Huo Muchen's voice came through the phone quickly. Having just finished showering, his voice carried a hint of languor and contentment.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking for me so late?"

Huo Muchen's voice came through the microphone, tinged with a hint of amusement.

Gu Heng was slightly taken aback, then replied:

"Ah Chen, I... there's something I don't know if I should tell you."

His voice carried a hint of hesitation and trepidation; he was a little worried that his words might cause trouble for Huo Muchen.

"What's the matter? Just tell me."

Huo Muchen put down the towel in his hand, held his phone to his ear, and casually draped his other hand over the bath towel around his waist.

His hair was still dripping wet, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the bath towel, leaving faint water streaks.

Gu Heng took a deep breath, as if to encourage himself, and then slowly began to speak:

"It's about Liu Shiyin..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Muchen interrupted him.

"She's back. She opened Mu Shi Garden, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng seemed frozen in place. His mouth gaped open, his eyes filled with disbelief. He stared wide-eyed and stammered:

"Ah, you... how did you know?"

"I saw her this morning, and the matter has been investigated."

Huo Muchen tossed down the towel in his hand, walked to the sofa, sat down, and began to speak.

“I thought you didn’t know, Ah Chen. Now that so much time has passed, I think…”

He paused, seemingly considering his words.

"Perhaps we should let go of the past and start afresh."

"I know what I'm doing,"

Huo Muchen hung up the phone before Gu Heng could finish speaking. He quickly dressed and strode out the door.

As the car slowly started moving, Huo Muchen's gaze involuntarily drifted to the window, as if he could see Liu Shiyin's figure again through the thick car window.

Since that fleeting glimpse that morning, she had been etched deeply into his mind like a brand, impossible to forget.

As the car sped through the city streets, Huo Muchen's thoughts drifted along with it. The memory from three years ago, like a long-forgotten movie, was awakened anew today.

The laughter and sweet moments of the past, and the pain of separation, all surged into his heart like a tide, making his feelings complicated and difficult to understand.

The car slowly drove up to Liu Shiyin's building without anyone noticing. Huo Muchen did not get out of the car, but sat quietly inside, lowered the window, and stared at the floor where Liu Shiyin lived through the window glass.

This is a somewhat old-fashioned apartment building, its grayish-blue walls appearing particularly serene under the cover of night.

Liu Shiyin's residence was located in an inconspicuous corner, with the window slightly open, exuding a warm atmosphere.

Huo Muchen's gaze was fixed on the window, as if he wanted to peer into Liu Shiyin's inner world through it.
