Shen Zhiyi fell asleep just before dawn. Not long after she slept, she woke up from the nightmare again, feeling languid.

Chi Ye went upstairs and made eye contact with her sitting on the bed. Chi Ye said hello with a smile.

"Shen Zhiyi Good morning"

Shen Zhiyi nodded and responded "Good morning"

Chi Ye thought she just woke up and was a little confused, so she walked slowly to the bed and asked about her feelings last night.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Shen Zhiyi was unwilling to tell the other party that she was not asleep at all and there was no need. Except for taking specific sleeping pills, other methods could not make her fall asleep at all.

So she nodded

"Not bad, thank you"

She didn't smile, her whole expression was cold, and her words were also cold. But Chi Ye knew that this was her, Shen Zhiyi who had only one expression whether good or bad.

"Then take a shower and get ready for breakfast. The butler has changed the breakfast today. Reading is useful. Let's continue that evening. If you get tired of listening to the French ones, I will read them to you in English."

You can choose."

Shen Zhiyi thought Chi Ye still knew. After returning from the hospital, he slowly began to experiment, whether it was the changed diet or the bottomless medicine.

And the coaxing her to sleep at night showed that Chi Ye knew what her situation was like. So what was the next step? Should she ask a psychiatrist again?

Then he said to her, "You just have a minor illness, just be happy and you'll be fine."

It seemed like she was about to witness someone whose patience was slowly disappearing again, saying the same words to her.

"Shen Zhiyi, why can't you be happy? Isn't this the simplest thing?"

"Shen Zhiyi, you are not sick at all, why are you pretending to be so cold?"

There seemed to be no way to avoid reaching this point, and then she became alone again, lying in a dark room, staring at the unchanging ceiling.

The world is always boring. When I was young, I just thought it would be good to study. After studying, I would just look forward to graduation. After graduation, I would just think about working. After working, I would just think about making money every day.

But many times, we can always see the end of the day, which is too dull to make any waves. The inconspicuous self, without great ability, does the most ordinary work, and then silently counts the timer of life.

Shen Zhiyi didn't say anything. Revealing these things didn't seem to have a good result for anyone.

Is it the disappointed look on Chi Ye's face or the embarrassing explanation? Is it the same rhetoric or is it because he wants to give himself a chance?

Maybe, maybe Chi Ye will give her a different answer.

After breakfast and taking medicine, Chi Ye is going to work and Shen Zhiyi is going to see clients.

Yesterday, someone sent a message wanting to customize a woodcut painting with her, and she thought about it and agreed. She didn't have any clients to meet with, and unless it was an order like Boss Yao, she usually just sent messages and chatted with the clients.

The completed paintings would be packaged and sent to clients, so she lied.

Chi Ye didn't have any doubts, because last time she went out to profile Liu Muyan, this response should be similar. But he was a little worried, so he asked about the client's information and the appointment location.

Shen Zhiyi casually mentioned a former client. Her expression didn't tell if she was lying or something. Anyway, Chi Ye took note of it and sent the person to the designated location.

Chi Ye had a lot of work in the morning, and he had arranged some plans, so he had to finish the work during this time.

"Shen Zhiyi, I need to read and reply to the message. Give me a call after the conversation. Don't just leave with others. If you want to go back, call the housekeeper and someone will pick you up. Do you understand?"

Shen Zhiyi;"I'm not a child."

Chi Ye;"But I'm worried that you'll get lost"

Shen Zhiyi;"This is not possible."

Chi Ye;"Okay, no. Then you have pity on me and I want to know your news, okay?"

Shen Zhiyi;"You are not a child either."

Chi Ye;"I am"

A grown man never shows off his words. Shen Zhiyi turned around and walked into the tea room, not wanting to pay attention to him. Chi Ye drove away after seeing someone enter.

Two minutes later, Shen Zhiyi came out of the tea room, walked straight along the road and then turned into a lane. This address was only one street away from her smashed house.

It's just that the distance on the map is winding and winding, but Shen Zhiyi knows a trail, and if you walk in from there, you'll be home in less than ten minutes.

Someone has come to take care of the house, and after cleaning out everything, it is empty. The water and electricity bills have not been paid for a long time, and now there is no electricity.

She went in without paying much attention, and the door was replaced with a new one. However, the paint on the wall and the smashed floor had to be renovated, otherwise she could not repair it by herself.

They smashed everything except one place.

There was a dark coffin beside Shen Zhiyi's bed. When she was in a bad mood, she would lie in it and sleep for a few days. Usually when she was so hungry that she became delirious, she would get up to take a bite and continue lying there.

Fang Yue knew about this quirk of hers and had been calling her crazy when he first saw it.

So because of this incident, Fang Yue didn't dare to offend her easily. After all, in his eyes, Shen Zhiyi was already an out-and-out psychopath.

Maybe this time she was too anxious to get money, and Fang Yue went crazy and found someone to smash up her house without caring about her. But now, the person may have left the country, otherwise it would have been impossible to find her after so long.

The coffin cannot be laid down today. It has not been cleaned for a long time. Moreover, the coffin has no lid and there is a layer of dust inside.

If Chi Ye saw her, he would definitely say that she was crazy. When he thought that Chi Ye helped her check up, nurse her body, and even tried to coax her to sleep, he would definitely regret it and feel bad luck if he knew the truth.

After a simple wipe, she took out her phone and sent a message back to Chi Ye. It had been too long since she had sent a message, so Chi Ye would call directly.

She plans to tell Chi Ye in another half month to end the cooperation, and during this time she will finish all the orders in her hand.

Use the money you saved to buy a gift for Madam Ye and Mu Yan. Chi Ye doesn't need a gift. She plans not to accept the other party's reward.

She had stayed at Chi Ye's house for too long, and she was still a little breathless when she returned to this depressing and dark house. She took it easy, resisted the urge to crawl in and lie down, packed some things and left the house.

Chi Ye came out to look for Shen Zhiyi during lunch. He entered the tea room and asked the front desk which private room Shen Zhiyi was in. The front desk searched for a long time but could not find the record.

Chi Ye frowned, it was impossible for a living person as big as Shen Zhiyi to disappear. He obviously watched her enter with his own eyes. Not believing in evil, he took out his mobile phone and showed the photo to the front desk.

Who knew the front desk suddenly understood and said

"This lady, she left within two minutes of coming in."
