Chapter 173: Chapter 170: Love and Not Love_1

```

The torrential rain poured down, and Ji Yao, looking at the dense curtain of rain, immediately felt a headache coming on.

She hadn't brought an umbrella, so perhaps she should take a taxi home.

Just as Ji Yao was about to take out her phone to call a taxi, she discovered it had run out of battery and shut off.

Muttering "just my luck" under her breath, she glanced at the slightly lessened rain and finally, gritting her teeth, shielded her head with her hand and dashed into the rain.

The icy raindrops hitting her body felt just like that night when she'd left the Lu Family home in a downpour.

Having run to a bus stop, Ji Yao took shelter under the platform.

This helpless and lonely feeling reminded her of the days spent by Lu Jincheng's side, when she had hoped he would turn back and see her but was powerless to make it happen.

A sour feeling rose in her heart, and the corners of Ji Yao's mouth curled into a bitter smile.
