How can a substitute top have feelings? (MTL)

Chapter 4

Lin Wen never thought that when they contacted each other again after the "breakup", Xie Chenyou's attitude would be so distant. The word "please" he used and the completely businesslike tone were like treating a passerby in life by chance - because it was insignificant, so he was polite and cold.

　　But they were not just ordinary passers-by to each other. They had slept in the same bed for three years and they once had the most intimate relationship.

　　——Even if they started with a contract, they have been together day and night for three years, so they should have developed feelings for each other, right?

　　But Xie Chenyou's attitude clearly told Lin Wen that he had never invested any feelings in her, so he could leave so casually half a month ago.

　　The only one who has always been immersed in love and wants to spend the rest of his life with the other person is Lin Wen.

　　During the breakup, Lin Wen's attitude has changed from the initial 'If you dare to mention the expiration of the contract, then I don't care about the remaining fifteen days, get out of here'; later, he gradually thought, 'As long as Xie Chenyou calls me and sincerely admits his mistake, I will let bygones be bygones and still be with him'; about five days ago, Lin Wen looked through Xie Chenyou's circle of friends late at night, which had not many updates, and calculated the possibility of his 'falling in love with someone else', and thought, 'As long as Xie Chenyou sends him a WeChat message, even if he doesn't apologize, as long as he is willing to come back, everything can go back to the way it was before'.

　　But Lin Wen never received any message from someone named 'Xie Chenyou' on his phone.

　　Finally, Lin Wen couldn't hold back any longer, and fifteen days after the 'breakup', he took the initiative to send a WeChat message to Xie Chenyou.

　　Given his personality, he certainly wouldn't express any intention of "reconciliation". He would just say that Xie Chenyou still had some sundries left in his house and asked him to move out quickly.

　　As a result, Xie Chenyou did not reply to the WeChat message he sent in time.

　　You know, during the three years that the two were in love, Xie Chenyou would reply to messages within seconds no matter how busy he was - even if Xie Chenyou was in a meeting, he would use quick messages to reply with a sentence like "I'm in a meeting, talk to you later."

　　This made Lin Wen feel particularly satisfied - at least it meant that Xie Chenyou valued him, and he was the number one person in Xie Chenyou's heart.

　　Later, Lin Wen got used to Xie Chenyou's gentleness and patience.

　　That's why he couldn't accept Xie Chenyou's coldness.

　　From the time he blocked Xie Chenyou on WeChat to the time he took the initiative to call him, Lin Wen carefully recalled the three years he and Xie Chenyou had known each other. There were few conflicts between them, and no matter how excessive his demands were, Xie Chenyou would agree and indulge him without limits.

　　The only time Xie Chenyou made him angry was when Lin Wen blocked him in a rage, and it seemed that it was also because Xie Chenyou did not reply to his message immediately.

　　However, unlike now, Xie Chenyou at that time would take the initiative to add him back, and even go to the downstairs of the dormitory to find him and apologize to him in person.

　　Lin Wen didn't know why Xie Chenyou took eight hours to reply to his message that day, but he could remember clearly - that night, next to the dance academy dormitory building, under the osmanthus tree that was about to wither, Xie Chenyou's eyes were serious and restrained. Lin Wen raised his head and looked at his eyes that still contained starlight in the dark, looked at his tall nose that divided the dim street light, and the thin lips that said "I'm sorry, I didn't see the message."
