Chapter 108: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
Chapter 108: Her Kiss, Very Painful
She glanced at the school rooftop and followed suit.
Not only did Bai Junwen go up, but also the school flower.
The weather was nice, and a gentle breeze lifted the school flower's long hair. She squatted on the edge of the rooftop, gazing into the sky, as if lost in thought.
Bai Junwen, noticing someone else's presence, decided to leave due to social anxiety but almost collided with Jiang Chenchen when turning around.
"You..."
She said a word but seemed to hesitate, avoiding eye contact and attempting to go downstairs.
Jiang Chenchen reached out and stopped her briefly. "The sun is nice. Why not enjoy it?"
Bai Junwen was momentarily stunned, looking at her. She wasn't too comfortable looking at others, but the calm gaze of the girl in front of her allowed for a temporary release of fear.
Jiang Chenchen had already walked towards a corner of the rooftop.
Bai Junwen followed, looking up at the sky, closing her eyes to feel the sunlight and spring breeze.
The dangerous action made Bai Junwen's heart pause, and she hesitated. Approaching cautiously, she then tightly grasped Jiang Chenchen's clothing.
"Don't... don't think too much."
Her voice was soft but audible in the quiet and open rooftop space.
The school flower, Wu Yingfei, shivered and turned to look. Only then did she realize that those words were meant for someone else.
The person standing on the rooftop was the classmate who had handled the situation exceptionally coldly today.
If it weren't for her timely intervention, she might still have a scar on her forehead.
Although... it didn't matter anymore.
Seeing someone standing below, timidly advising not to give up, Jiang Chenchen questioned, "What?"
Bai Junwen, feeling shy, realized the misunderstanding. She thought Jiang Chenchen was distressed about her grades and temporarily couldn't cope.
How could others be as fragile as her?
She quickly let go, took two steps back, and tried to escape.
But seeing Jiang Chenchen turning around and squatting down, reaching out to her, Bai Junwen was startled.
"Do you want to come up too?"
Bai Junwen hesitated, looked at her. She didn't dare to look at others, but the girl above had eyes so calm that it made people temporarily forget fear.
Involuntarily, Bai Junwen wanted to approach.
With courage she had never experienced before, she reached out, and Jiang Chenchen held her hand. It felt like Jiang Chenchen was giving her strength, and she, too, stood high, overlooking everything below.
Just like she had always been so lowly.
She couldn't help but tremble. The fear of falling, the moment when she might forever sink into darkness, felt overwhelming.
There was a strong force in the hand that transmitted to her, as Jiang Chenchen held onto her hand.
"If you're afraid, look up at the sky."
"The sky won't make you afraid."
She always believed that beyond that distant sky, there were unseen stars protecting her.
Bai Junwen also looked up at the sky. In the countryside, the sky was the bluest and brightest. Since coming here, she hadn't seen it again.
But today, looking at the sky under the scorching sun, it seemed like it had never changed.
What changed was herself...
The school flower was also gazing at the sky, her eyes gray and dim. In a low voice, she muttered, "What if even the sky becomes frightening? What should I do?"
"What do you think we should do?"
Her voice raised, looking towards Jiang Chenchen.
Jiang Chenchen, not understanding what she meant, wondered how the sky could be frightening.
Wu Yingfei, disappointed, lowered her head. "In this gray world, you certainly wouldn't understand."
She came down from above and looked at them again. "There is no absolute friendship in this world; it's all an illusion."
Her eyes carried not only loss but also resentment. Leaving these words behind, she went downstairs.
Jiang Chenchen stood there, pondering. Could the gray world she mentioned be like the time when she used to look up at the sky, feeling hopeless?
As for friendship, would it be an illusion?
She didn't know, but Xia Changli was a good friend to her.
"Are you hungry?" She turned to the person next to her.
She wanted to go eat something.
Go there to eat and then try her luck to see Sheng Mingsi.
Bai Junwen softly said, "Yes," bowing her head. "Thank you."
It seemed that compared to the vast sky, her current concerns about grades and the matters weighing on her heart were trivial.
Jiang Chenchen jumped down and reached out to help Bai Junwen down.
This time, Bai Junwen stood at a higher place, thinking about Wu Yingfei's words just now.
Summoning her courage, she said, "There is absolute friendship in this world."
Jiang Chenchen nodded at her words. "Yes, I also think so."
Leaving the rooftop, Jiang Chenchen saw that time was somewhat tight, but she still planned to go to the small shop outside the school.
Not far from the school gate, she saw Wu Yingfei getting into a car. A handsome man hooked her neck as he closed the car door.
The car window was half open, and the man flicked off half of the cigarette ash. Catching sight of the girl standing there watching, he revealed a mysterious smile. He took a puff of his cigarette, then tossed it away, hooking the school flower's neck and kissing her.
The car window seemed intentionally left open.
Wu Yingfei struggled a bit, but when the man's kiss reached her lips, she gave up resistance. When she glanced sideways, she saw Jiang Chenchen not far away.
Her eyes showed a slight surprise, and her long hair covered half of her face, completely blocking the line of sight when she closed the car window.
The man asked, "Is she your classmate?"
"No."
"Quite beautiful."
Wu Yingfei lowered her eyelids. "What's good about being beautiful?"
The man pinched her chin, smiling sideways. "Only beautiful women say such things."
Seeing her remaining silent, he continued, "I heard someone is bullying you at school. Don't worry; I won't let you be bullied for nothing."
...
Jiang Chenchen had already headed to the small shop. As for the school flower she had just seen, she didn't need to concern herself with others' affairs.
It's just that her kiss seemed very painful.
As for why it was like this, she didn't understand.
Outside the door of the small shop, Wu Bi was dozing off at the front desk, and there was no sign of Sheng Mingsi inside.
Didn't he come today?
Jiang Chenchen hesitated for a moment, pushed the door open, and walked in. Wu Bi, hearing the movement, looked over. "You finally came. I thought you wouldn't come."
"I had something to do, so I was a bit late."
"Is it something troublesome? If it is, you must tell me." Wu Bi lowered his voice.
Jiang Chenchen shook her head. "No."
"Then come over quickly. Today, I made a new dish. Try it?"
Jiang Chenchen walked over and sat down. She raised her head and asked, "Is Mr. Sheng here today?"
Wu Bi turned around to get the prepared food and placed it in front of her. "He's sleeping inside. He stayed up late again last night. Don't disturb him."
Jiang Chenchen nodded. The sound of eating became quieter, but she sincerely said, "It's delicious."
Wu Bi touched the back of his head. Where did this sudden surge of confidence come from?
After finishing her meal, Jiang Chenchen didn't have much time to read. However, she wanted to go see Sheng Mingsi, so she asked Wu Bi about his room.
Then she lifted the curtain and pushed open a door.
