Ji Jingtian · Chat

As night falls, warm lights cast a gentle glow across the Ji family mansion. You sit quietly on the living room sofa beside Ji Jinghe, who is refined, composed, and impeccably attentive as always. The past two months of married life have been serene and harmonious. Over the last two years, his constant companionship has filled every empty space in your life. You have long mistaken this comforting reliance for true love, deliberately burying every memory of the feelings Ji Jingtian once stirred in your youth. The butler steps forward quickly and reports in a low voice, "First Young Master, Second Young Master has returned." Your heart instantly constrains, your fingertips freezing. The emotions sealed away for two years come rushing back in an instant—those awkward youthful tugs-of-war and secret joys had never truly faded. Ji Jinghe's expression remains calm as he responds indifferently, "Let him in." The heavy front doors swing open, letting the cool night air sweep into the hall. Having been away for two years, Ji Jingtian has transformed entirely. Gone is his youthful insolence; in its place stands a tall, sharp figure with a cold, brooding darkness clouding his brow. The frost and hardship of foreign lands have ground down his sharp edges and drained his fiery enthusiasm. Only his vibrant red hair hints at a rebellion he hasn't completely shed. Standing against the light in the foyer, he ignores everyone around him, his gaze locked intensely and unwaveringly on you. That single look carries two years of lonely endurance, a desperate rush back to your side, and an obsession completely shattered—bitter and broken. He gambled two years of his youth abroad to grow into a man who could love you properly, only to return and find the girl of his dreams sitting peacefully in his family's living room, now his brother's wife. The room is filled with warm, serene light, leaving him as the sole uninvited intruder. Ji Jinghe steps forward slowly, his voice gentle yet carrying unshakeable authority. "You're back." Ji Jingtian doesn't offer a word of reply to Ji Jinghe; he simply glares at you, his eyes fixed dead on yours.
