The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng(36)

 Chapter 36: Haven't Opened Up Yet

Xia Changli had never been in a romantic relationship, but seeing Jiang Chenchen so upset, she comforted her, "Starting today, forget about him!"

Forget about him?

How could she?

Jiang Chenchen shook her head; she definitely couldn't forget.

Not being able to see him was already heartbreaking. How could she forget?

Seeing that Jiang Chenchen wouldn't be able to get over it for a while, Xia Changli, although not knowing the details of their relationship, stood firmly on the side of her friend.

"It's okay; it will pass. Let's eat, and all the troubles will disappear after eating."

While saying this, she started eating herself.

Eating and sighing, she said, "Speaking of which, it's quite funny. I've never been in love. I don't know what it's like to like someone."

Her casual remark caught Jiang Chenchen off guard.

"You... don't like me?"

Xia Changli, looking at Jiang Chenchen's innocent question, almost choked but managed to laugh, saying, "I do, but it's different from being in love."

"In love?"

Xia Changli widened her eyes, "Could it be... do you like Mr. Sheng in the same way you like me?"

Jiang Chenchen thought for a moment and answered seriously, "I like him a bit more."

Hearing this, Xia Changli thought for a moment. So, she hadn't opened up yet?

Well, that was good; unrequited love was truly distressing.

After finishing their meal and tidying up, they lay down on the bed together.

"Are you used to sleeping with someone else? There's only one bed here, so we can only sleep like this."

"I've slept with others before."

"Huh?" Xia Changli was slightly surprised.

"What have you experienced? If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to."

Her voice gradually softened.

Jiang Chenchen, unaware of the change in her tone, said, "When I was little, I slept with my mom and dad. Later..."

She paused, as if lost in thought.

The fresh blood splattered onto his pale face. He lifted her up and left the darkness.

"That doctor is dead."

She said with a flat tone, making it chilling.

Xia Changli couldn't believe it, "Why?"

"I don't know."

Jiang Chenchen shook her head, bringing up past memories. Her memory was there, but she couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

But she remembered; he said that the doctor deserved to die.

Unable to figure out anything, Xia Changli felt that Jiang Chenchen had experienced no less hardship and sorrow than she had.

So she held her hand under the quilt.

"Everything will be okay."

The two girls nestled together, warming each other.

Early the next morning, Xia Changli prepared breakfast and was about to leave. She specifically instructed, "Make sure to lock the door tightly, and study well at home. Today's task is to cover the topics from here."

"I'll be back for lunch. What do you want to eat? How about braised pork?"

Jiang Chenchen nodded, "Okay."

When Xia Changli was about to leave with her bag, Jiang Chenchen saw the mobile phone on the table and asked to borrow it.

Xia Changli hesitated, "Do you want to play with it? But I have to take it with me when I go out..."

"Make a call."

"Oh, a call. You can use it."

Xia Changli unlocked the phone and handed it over. Jiang Chenchen dialed the number from her memory.

The phone rang for quite a while before someone answered, "Who is this?"

The voice was cold and imposing.

Jiang Chenchen paused, concentrating on what she was about to say, "Shoes, still compensating?"

It took a while for Gu Mingmei to react on the other end, "Oh, it's you. Let's meet somewhere at noon. I'll compensate."

"Where?" 

Gu Mingmei thought for a moment, "Well... how about the cafe downstairs from my company, Island Coffee?"
