AI Stories | Beyond the Scars: Turning Our Shattered Past into a Beautiful Finish Line | FullAdded:
I just went out to eat some barbecue. A peerless beauty suddenly kissed me.
Before I could react, I heard the woman's crisp voice. Do you see this?
This is my new boyfriend. I moved on seamlessly. So, I am just a huge scumbag. Stop pestering me. The woman in my arms leaned tightly against me. The man opposite had a face full of disbelief. Immediately after, as if he went mad, he clenched his fist and swung at me. Before you knew it, I subconsciously picked up the woman and stood up. Took a step back and dodged the guy's attack. I was so scared my heart almost jumped out. Before I could speak, that beauty impatiently started roasting him. Sean, are you fing kidding me? Chen key, you are a huge. I treated you so well and you actually don't love me. You have no heart. Chenqing just chuckled softly. I said that just to give you face. Who was it that first hooked up with that woman from our university sports college and got a room? As soon as these words came out, Su Yan instantly went mute. You investigated me. Chenchin<unk>s eyes were cold. Do you even deserve it? Sean couldn't speak for a long time, glared at him fiercely, turned around, and ran.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did I realize I had been holding this girl named Chen Chin. Um, excuse me. She then raised her eyes and looked at me, but her eyes were full of scrutiny. I had a baffled look on my face. Just then, a girl ran over panting. SisterQing, why did you run over here? I've been looking for you for ages. Hold this.
Seeing that tasteless beauty leave, I couldn't be bothered to care about them.
I withdrew my gaze, sat down, and continued devouring my barbecue. Not sure if it was out of anger or hunger, I frantically stuffed BBQ and beer into my mouth until I couldn't eat anymore. As a result, karma came really fast. In the middle of the night, my stomach hurt so much I almost suffocated. My whole face was deathly pale. My forehead was covered in cold sweat until it was almost dawn. I finally groggly fell asleep. When I woke up again, my whole body was drenched. I dragged my exhosted body to take a shower and boiled a pot of porridge. sitting alone at the table, eating it slowly. The room was terribly quiet with only the sound of the spoon hitting the bowl. But just as I finished the porridge, the door suddenly clicked and was opened from the outside. A middle-aged woman in professional attire walked in. My eyes instantly lit up.
Mom. However, my mom just walked coldly in front of me. I found a school for you.
School starts tomorrow. This is your living expense for this month. I am going abroad. If the money isn't enough for a month, call me again. After saying that, she went straight upstairs to pack her luggage.
Not long after, she came down pulling a large suitcase from beginning to end.
She didn't look at me again. Mom, be careful on the road. The only response I got was total silence. On the table was a brand new admission notice and a stack of cold cash. This was the only maternal love my mom gave me. At the same time, CityA University organized a racing event. It was proceeding with deafening roars. In the car was exactly that red-haired beauty named Chenqing. Not only did she not slow down when cornering, she instead slammed on the gas and instantly crossed the finish line. SisterQing, you are crazy today.
We couldn't even see the back of your car. If you're a noob, practice more.
Sister Ching, let's go hang out at Hungu Club tomorrow. I heard a lot of newcomers arrived. Who knew? Chenqing just smiled, got straight into the car, started the engine, and left. Hey, Sister Ching, are you going or not? Wait for me. However, at night at the entrance of Hong Yao Bar, as soon as Chenqing and Z Linland walked in, Sister Ching, Sister Li, the usual, yeah, call ANover while you're at it. Okay, it'll arrange it immediately.
But I didn't expect just as Chenqing and the others entered the private room. Me on the other side also encountered something that felt incredibly difficult to me. The next day, September and the autumn wind was cool. I walked to school alone. Is this the new cage my mom arranged for me? I heard this school has a long history and an antique flavor, but I couldn't feel happy at all. I first went to the principal's office, meeting that big shot who only appeared in textbooks. I even felt a trace of little excitement in my heart. He was very amiable and quickly helped me with my enrollment. He then asked me to go find the counselor. I pushed open the office door and exquisitly but seriousl looking woman was sitting inside. She picked up my transcript, just glanced at it and casually tossed it aside. I don't care what small place you were in before or how good your grades were. Once you arrive at this university, everything resets to zero. Her tone was full of contempt. Maybe you were first in your class before, but at our university, you might not even make it into the top 100 of the grade. The counselor then took a form from the cabinet and handed it to me. This is the form to collect the college uniform. Go to the student union warehouse to collect it yourself after school. However, just as I held the form, thinking I could finally start my new life, Chen Jin in the bar was staging another big drama. In the private room, SisterQing, are you still going back today or just staying upstairs in the club? Chenqing, 21 years old, from the same university as me.
Chenqing then slowly opened her eyes and softly said, "Going back." Z Llin was just about to say something more. The private room door was suddenly pushed open. Yo, isn't this our young Miss Chin? What wind blew you to this little place today?
Looking for me for something? He sat down right next to Chenqing, looking at her with raised eyebrows. Chenqing merely gave him a faint glance and closed her eyes again. Now Z Linland was anxious, leaned in front of Xiao Jian quickly call a guy that SisterQing likes over. She is acting crazy today. Ziao Jian then seriously sized up the eye closed. Chenqing brows furrowed. He subconsciously reached out his hand wanting to rub the woman's hair.
Chenqing as if she had spiders directly turned her head away. Her face was extremely ugly. Coldly threw down a sentence. I have something to do. I'm leaving first. Z Linland looked at her resolute back and him immediately chased after her. Sister Shin, Sister Shin, wait for me. The counselor led me into the classroom. It said that those who can enter this university will become talents fought over by major companies after graduation, but I don't care about those. I just hope to steadily start my new life. But I absolutely didn't expect. Upon pushing open the door, the scene inside would suffocate me. The whole classroom was dead silent.
Everyone was looking down and studying.
Not a single person was idle. The counselor patted the desk. Everyone raised their heads in unison. Dozens of pairs of eyes locked onto me instantly.
She lifted her chin, signaling me to introduce myself. I looked at the dense crowd of heads below. My heartbeat suddenly accelerated. My palms were full of cold sweat. Those memories of being bullied instantly rushed to my mind. My face was deathly pale. Tremblingly said, "Hello, everyone. Just call me Eek." As soon as the voice fell, I nervously waited for the impending mockery.
However, right at this moment, a crisp burst of applause suddenly sounded. I looked towards the sound. It was a girl wearing silver glasses. Then the whole class followed and started clapping. The counselor swept a glance and pointed to a seat for me, which was surprisingly right behind the girl who led the applause. I walked down, just sat firmly. An abrupt voice sounded at the door. Report. The whole class's gaze was instantly drawn over. I also looked over curiously, but when I touched upon that person's face, my whole body froze. It was actually that red-haired beauty from that day. She seemed to also feel my gaze, lazily swept a glance over. Just one glance, but I clearly saw the disgust in her eyes. It was that kind of heartfelt, undisguised disgust. Do I have some deep hatred with her? The counselor saw her conspicuous hair, frowning so hard she could pinch a fly to death. What's the name? Chenqing. Who knew that once the home room teacher heard this name? Her brows actually relaxed. Why are you only arriving now?
Humph. Teacher, do you also have to manage students private lives? After saying that, she didn't even wait for the counselor's reply. Walked straight into the classroom and swaggered to sit in the last row. Seeing this, the counselor didn't say anything more and continued lecturing. She lectured at lightning speed. I didn't have a book, so I could only squeeze with my deskmate to look. The teaching content here was too different from what I learned before. After two periods, I was completely confused. My heart felt even more suffocated. As soon as class ended, I lay directly on the desk. That stifling feeling pressed down on me so hard I couldn't breathe. The desk was suddenly knocked on. I turned my head.
It was surprisingly that girl sitting in front of me. Are you okay?
I'm fine. But my pale face betrayed me.
Go get some hot water to drink. I see your face doesn't look too good. There are disposable paper cups in the cabinet. Okay, thank you. I expressed my thanks, got up, and walked over, but who knew the cabinet was completely stuck. I tried several times, but couldn't pry it open. Just as I was preparing to find a tool, a faint chuckle came to my ear. I looked back and saw Chen Kian lightly resting her chin on her hand with a casual smile on her face. Ignoring her, I lowered my eyes and thought of finding a ruler to pry it open. However, the next second, a pair of familiar small white shoes appeared right beside me. It was my front deskmate. Why did you come over? She raised her hand and easily pushed it and the cabinet opened. Seeing an idiot unable to open the cabinet door, I came to help.
Sorry, but in this awkward and delicate moment, I say, "Can you two stop pulling and dragging beside me and doawling around? It makes me sick just looking at it." Keon Juo lightly frowned. Chenshin merely twitched the corners of her mouth. "Do you even deserve to say my name?"
Just as the two were at daggers drawn, "Pay Ryan!" She didn't say anything more. Hemp that daintily and left. I looked at Pay Ryan<unk>s back. My heart inexplicably trembled. What? Already fell in love. You couldn't have fallen for that green tea. Right. I fiercely lowered my eyes. An enlarged delicate little face appeared in front of my eyes, scaring me into taking a step back. What are you doing, coward? Why are you so elusive like a ghost? Who knew she would slightly narrow her eyes, approaching me step by step? I repeatedly retreated. What are you doing? Chunqing watched me like this. A trace of guilt surprisingly flashed across her face. Why is he so afraid of me? Just then, Pay Ryan rushed in.
Chenqing, what are you doing? Chenqing saw Pay Ryan, swept another glance at me, and that bit of guilt vanished into thin air instantly, leaving only a face full of disgust. She directly sat back in her seat, lowered her head, and started playing on her phone. "Eon, are you all right?"
"I'm fine, don't worry. After school," I was the only one left in the classroom.
I propped up my chin, looking at the white magnolia outside the window. My mind was in a mess. Why would I be so scared? I packed my and walked out of the classroom. The evening glow died, half the sky red. I couldn't help but take out my phone to take a photo. But just as I finished taking the photo and moved the phone down, a figure unexpectedly barged into the lens. A head of fiery red hair, she seemed to sense something. But who knew my hand would actually tremble and pressed the shutter button. I didn't have time to delete it, so I simply turned off the phone, stuffed it into my and looked again at the place just now. Where was there anyone left? Not even a shadow.
Could my eyes be playing tricks on me? A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind. What are you looking at? Huh? I turned around and saw Chen Chin. She looked at me with a smug face. What's wrong? Are you looking for me? Did your phone just secretly take a picture of me? I immediately wanted to retort. I didn't secretly take a picture of you.
You barged into my lens yourself, but I only dared to shout these words in my heart. Chen Kian hemped playfully. Give it to me. My heart trembled, but I still handed the phone over. She took the phone, opened the photo album, swiped to the top picture. As expected, you are also fascinated by me, right? I was completely speechless. She then swiped to the side. It was all landscape photos I took. She instantly lost interest, swiping very fast, but suddenly a foe too made her stop. She only looked at it for less than two seconds before a hand with distinct knuckles snatched the phone away. I turned and ran with a speed like an evil spirit was right behind me. Chening looked at my retreating back. Her mind was filled with that photo just now. It was arms, thighs, stomach, cheeks, and shoulders covered entirely in bruises, swelling, and blood stains. It was shocking to see. She subconsciously touched the tattoo on her collarbone. At night, as soon as Chenqing pushed open the door, she heard bursts of laughter coming from inside the house. Daughter is back. Come and eat quickly. Chenqing swept a glance at Pay Ryan and Mrs. Chen, who were acting out deep motherdaughter affection. Lazily walked over, crossed her legs. She bantered with Chen Hui.
Old Man Chen, the dishes today looked pretty good. Let's<unk> have a drink together. You, a university student, thinking about drinking everyday? What does that look like? Chenqing shrugged, picked up a piece of lotus root, and stuffed it into her mouth. Chewed twice.
Then with a tui, spat it all out. Tastes awful. Too sweet and greasy. Why do you make this stuff everyday? Chenhoi saw his wife opposite him instantly look awful. Kicked Chenqing under the table.
Why did you kick me? Do you also think this stuff tastes awful, right? Only that kind of person would particularly love this kind of sweet and greasy stuff that covers up the original flavor. Mrs. Chen violently slammed her chopsticks on the ground, face full of anger.
Chenqing, who are you mocking? If we really want to talk about it, you are the one who is illegitimate and unjustified. Chenqing has long grown tired of hearing these words. She just leisurely ate peanuts without even furrowing her brows. Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth, pulled Pay Ryan up, and walked out. The door slammed shut. The villa instantly fell silent. Chen, who he looked at his daughter, patted her shoulder with his hand. Don't blame your mom. She might be in a bad mood today.
Old man Chen, how many times have I said it? That woman doesn't like you at all.
Are you stupid? Sucking up to her like a s every day, asking about her well-being, and the result? Did she even look straight at you? Doesn't she still despise you all the same? Thinking you are not presentable, Chun Huie froze, then got so angry, his face turned red and neck thick. Chenqing, you you are insolent. I am your father. Do you know who you are talking to? Was I wrong?
What is so good about that woman anyway to be worth you doing so much for her like an idiot when she was out fooling around happily with other men? What were you doing? You were in the business world for that broken project drinking until your stomach bled, begging others like a dog. when she was lying in the hospital having another man's child.
Before she finished speaking, a loud bang, Chen Huie flushed red with anger, raised his hand, and slapped towards Chenqing, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it. His hand stopped.
Chenqing glanced at the exasperated Chen Hui, sneered, turned, and walked away, leaving Chun Hoy panting on the spot, clutching his chest. In the city park in the afternoon, Z Lingling squatted on the ground, holding her stomach, laughing so hard tears came out.
Chenqing had gauze wrapped around her forehead, sitting on the swing. Hearing her laughter, lowered her eyes and gave her a glance. Z Lingling wiped her tears, stood up and teased. SisterQing, not to criticize you, but you are way too bold. Actually daring to challenge your old man. If you don't get beaten up, who would? Chenqing shot her a glance and rarely didn't reply. Zi Linllin looked at her like this and knew this person was in a bad mood again. She sighed softly and fell into memories.
This person, Chenqing, a year ago relied on a cold face and superb skills to become famous in the college student racing circle. On the track, she is the wildest king. Off the track, she is casual and free-spirited again. Admirers around her changed batch after batch.
But I know her heart, aside from racing, has never landed on anyone. Sometimes I really want to see exactly what kind of person is worth her getting emotional, angry, and readied over. Also, don't know if in my lifetime I will be able to see it. See what like me? Chenqing met Z Linlands gaze and said lightly. Z Linland burst out laughing. I wouldn't dare. I can't<unk>t take on a big Buddha like you. My heart still wants to live a few more years. Suddenly seeing two familiar figures, her eyes changed abruptly. She took a long stride and followed them. Z Lingling also immediately stopped smiling and followed closely behind. A few hours ago, I snatched the phone and ran far away in one breath until I really couldn't run anymore. Did I stop? Panting heavily.
After recovering for a while, I straightened up, took out my phone, swiped to unlock. Picture after picture were all my past. I looked at them for a few seconds and suddenly smiled, hit delete without hesitation. These are all in the past now. I will never experience those things again in the future. I no longer have to be terrified every day and walk on eggshells. I let out a breath, feeling an unprecedented physical and mental ease. Just as I was getting ready to go home, a strong bout of stomach cramps struck. I ran into the restroom clutching my stomach. After experiencing a series of vomiting and diarrhea, I took the medicine prescribed by the pharmacy and sat on a park bench with a deathly pale face. Suddenly, I felt a girl standing in front of me. I Hey, Ryan, why are you here? She looked at my pale face. What's wrong with you?
Your face looks so bad.
Old problem. It's fine. Don't worry. Are you really okay? I looked at her beautiful face and nodded. Then let me take you back. Auntie Chen, I will take my classmate back first. He is not feeling well. You go home first. I will be back in a bit. Mrs. Chen glanced at me with an unkind look, but still nodded. I looked at Pay Ryan's enthusiastic actions and was a bit at a loss. Actually, there is no need. I can go back by myself. Pay Ryan smiled and said, "Let's go. It's on the way anyway.
We can chat along the way."
I turned my head to look at pay Ryan. A familiar figure flashed in my mind. I hesitated to speak.
Ask whatever you want to ask. I stopped in my tracks and asked tentatively, "Are you? Are you little Sue?" P Ryan looked at me with slightly red eyes. She smiled with gratification, reached out to touch my hair. Econ, you finally recognized me. It really is you. You really are Little Sue. We really haven't seen each other for a long time. As I spoke, my voice was a bit horsearo. I said bitterly. You Why didn't you acknowledge me sooner? Apart from dad and mom, pay Ryan was the only person in my childhood who could be called a friend. But back then, she wasn't called Pay Ryan. She was called Sue Ryan. Once when I was bullied, it was Sue Ryan who saved me and brought me back home. After that time, the two of us became good friends, going to and from school together. The people who bullied me saw it and started bullying Sue Ryan as well. But although she looked thin and weak, she was very good at fighting. After those people were beaten and scared by her, they never dared to bully us again. Later, we even agreed to go to the same middle school together. But since the start of middle school, I never saw her again. I also asked around before I heard some news from others. Sue Ryan was an orphan when she was 4 years old. after both her parents passed away, she was sent to live in an orphanage until she was adopted when she went to middle school.
So much so that after age 8, I had no news of her anymore. I'm sorry, E. I really had no choice back then. Pay Ryan's voice sounded. She lowered her head in guilt. It's fine.
I understand. Pay Ryan<unk>s eyes flickered just as she was about to speak. Yo, Miss Pay, having a date here after eating. Yo, I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's our Miss Pay. Oh, speaking of which, looking at the person next to Pay Ryan, who am I? Is it Miss Pay's new boyfriend? Looks pretty unfamiliar.
Let's go. Pay Ryan ignored them, signaled me to walk with her. Only knew each other for a few days and already starting to date. Oh, couldn't be that you've done all the things you shouldn't have, right? Hey, Ryan, you are progressing pretty fast. Chenqing, keep your mouth clean. Not everyone is as dirty-minded as you. What? Only you are allowed to do it. But am not allowed to say it. I frowned slightly, glanced at Chenqing, relying on clownish behavior to gain attention. You are also truly pathetic. After saying that, I pulled Pay Ryan and turned to leave. Chenqing watched us walk away slowly clenched her fingers. Her elegant eyes turned completely gloomy. SisterQing, since when did you pay so much attention to this kid? Chenqing froze then, as if hearing a joke. I hate pretty boys who leech off others the most. They are an eyesore to look at. Well, maybe he doesn't even fancy you.
Z Llin, that's because he has no taste.
Why are you belittling me, Sister Ching?
How would I dare?
At night, when Chenqing went home, looking at the brightly lit villa, she froze slightly, but then thinking of something, smiled mockingly at herself, walked inside without even changing her shoes, saw Chen Hui on the sofa, smiled, and said, "Waiting for me. Come here."
Chenqing walked over, kept a body's distance from him. "What do you want to do, Chen Huie?
What do you want to do?
I just bullied her. So what?" Chen Huie turned his head in anger, glared death at her. You rebellious daughter, Chenqing, do you know what you are doing? I have a mother who bore me, but no father to teach me. What else could I become? Before she finished speaking, Chen Hui slapped her. Chenqing slightly turned her head. Her delicate face looked even colder under the light. Her mouth was taut and walked upstairs without saying a word. The hand Chen Hui used to hit her was trembling slightly.
Chenqing returned to her room, walked into the bathroom, looking at her slightly swollen cheek in the mirror.
Her eyes turned red. One early morning, I rushed to school in a hurry. Students from the disciplinary committee were guarding the entrance, registering the latecomers list. I covered my face and sighed. Being late on the very first day of school is truly a bit embarrassing.
Sigh. I resigned to my fate and walked forward a few steps. Suddenly, giggling sounds came from behind. Hey, little handsome guy. Ha. I glanced at the hand resting on my shoulder, frowning slightly, moved half a step to the side, avoiding that person, awkwardly withdrew his hand. Sorry, I was being abrupt.
I recognized his identity. I just gave him a faint glance. Haven't seen you before. You must be a new transfer student. In the same class as SisterQing, a slightly horse and nasal voice suddenly came from behind. What are you doing? Oh, yes, sister. You actually still carry a backpack? Looking at your appearance, didn't sleep much again last night, huh?
Chenchin glanced at him, bypassed him, and walked straight ahead. Z Linland hurriedly trotted to keep up. When Chen Chin passed by me, her footsteps paused slightly, then continued walking forward expressionlessly, arriving at the school gate. The disciplinary committee members stopped us. A girl from the disciplinary committee reached out to stop her. With a tough tone, Chenqing raised her eyes.
Her pitch black eyes stared straight at the other party. The girl got creeped out from being stared at. Another person from the disciplinary committee nearby quickly tugged at their companions clothes and advised in a low voice. Let her go in. Chenqing is a special existence in the school anyway. Good grades and good family background. Even the principal has to give her some leeway. Quickly let her go. Don't stir up trouble. The girl hesitated for a moment and finally let go. Chenin withdrew her gaze, turned her head to call Z, but saw Z Linland acting like a pug, clinging to my side, still holding my milk in her hand. Just now, I was standing aside, munching on a sandwich, heard the sound of Z Linland's hungry stomach, so I simply handed the extra hot milk to her. Do you want to drink it? Just as she took the milk and was about to insert the straw, the milk was snatched away right out of her hand.
Hey, Chinking, you didn't eat breakfast either. You dare to drink what he gave?
Aren't you afraid of getting poisoned after drinking it? That's impossible, right?
Chenqing hooked up the corners of her lips, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. Why is it impossible? She turned to look at me and said, "Don't you know that the better looking a creature is, the more toxic it is?" After saying that, she swaggered past the disciplinary committee holding the milk and walked into the campus. "Why are you only arriving now? Are you late?" "Yeah, the road was a bit jammed. Have you picked up your school uniform?
I forgot.
It's fine. It'll accompany you to get it after school. I know the place.
Thank you.
Is Is there anything classmate Chen Chin? It'll sit here. You go sit in the back. The girl breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly grabbed her books, and moved over. Chenchin stuffed her backpack into the desk drawer, turned her head, and caught me staring at her.
Why do you keep staring at me? Like me, huh?
I advise you to stay away from pay Ryan.
She is no good person.
Chenqing, enough is enough. Hey Ryan, what does it have to do with you when I talk to him? P Ryan was just about to retort. The teacher on the podium suddenly shouted sternly. Chenqing.
Don't think that just because your grades are good, you can talk casually in class.
Chenqing smiled at the teacher.
Sorry, teacher. Please continue. During the lunch break, Pay Ryan found me.
Let's go. Ill accompany you to pick up your school uniform. Okay. I responded.
Chenqing sat in her seat. Hearing Pay Ryan call out, my fingers tapped lightly on the desk. She stared at our retreating backs. Deep in thought after picking up the school uniforms, the two of us went to the cafeteria to eat.
Along the way, many students frequently looked at us. Their eyes were full of curiosity. After all, pay Ryan is a famously aloof top student who has always been a loner. Now, with an unfamiliar me following beside her, anyone would take a few more glances.
Hey, what do you think? Is there really something between that new student and god student pay? Seing glanced at us, lowered her head, and continued eating.
I don't know. Not interested in pretending to be aloof, heing finished eating, adjusted the hem of her clothes, put a decent smile on her face, turned, and walked towards pay Ryan.
Ryan, who is this? Haven't seen him before. Yeah. Hello, my name is Hi Chen.
Just en rolled here. Hello, Song Ting.
After eating, the three of us walked out together. The stairs along the way were even more than before. Song Ting and Pay Ryan consistently dominate the top five in the grade with the two of them standing together. The beautiful girl and handsome boy combination made many secretly sigh. A perfect match. Songing kept chatting with Pay Ryan about studies. Hey Ryan, let's host the welcome party together again. This time, Song Ting clenched her fists and slowly released them, still smiling and pressed on. "Hey, Ryan, are you listening to me?" "Ah, what did you say?" Just as Song Ting was about to speak, Song Nuo rushed over and shouted at me. "This morning at the school gate, you were pulling and dragging with Chening. At noon, you came looking for Pay Ryan.
What exactly do you want? Stay away from my brother." Song Nuo, speak properly.
Don't be so impolite since we are not welcome here. Then we will leave now.
After saying that, pay Ryan signaled me with her eyes. Then I followed her, turned and left, walking straight away.
Ryan, I didn't mean that. Wait. Song Nuo grabbed her brother. He is already like this. Obviously willingly degenerating, mixing with this kind of shady person.
Why do you still care about him? Seing looked at P Ryan<unk>s retreating back.
Bitterness welled up in her heart. This is the first time since knowing each other for so long that she stood up for a boy. Does she really like Hchen? Why am I despised everywhere new I go? Turns out I have never changed. Still that universally disliked person. What's wrong, Eon? Are you unhappy? Do you want to go out together to get some fresh air? I nodded. The two of us walked out of the classroom one after the other on the school's rooftop. You see, no matter how difficult or annoying things are, if you stand high enough, looking from afar, they will all become very insignificant.
I turned to look at her. The wind blew her hair gently and affectionately. My memory instantly flashed back to when I was 11. The memory instantly returned to the scenes of being bullied in the past.
But at that time, a girl bravely rushed over to help me. That was the first time payan and I met. Later, we became good friends who talked about everything. We stayed on the rooftop until class was about to start before going downstairs together. Walking into the classroom, Chen Kian was sitting in her seat.
Seeing us come in together, a trace of unnaturalenness flashed across her face.
As soon as I sat down, she leaned in close to my ear with a trace of jealousy in her tone. Back from your date.
Stay away from me. What? Hearing your tone, you're unhappy.
Did you have a fight with your pay Ryan?
I sneered. What does this have to do with you? Chen Jing<unk>ing face changed. Slowly sat back in her seat.
After cleaning up after school, I was the last to leave the classroom. Not long after walking out of the school gates, a group of youths dressed like hooligans suddenly blocked my way. My heartbeat instantly accelerated, pretending to be calm. I tried to walk around them, but they were obviously coming for me, blocking me in an alley.
Who are you? What do you want to do? We have to teach you a lesson.
Don't go lusting after just anyone's woman. A young girl's voice suddenly rang out. What are you doing? Chenqing was leaning against the entrance with her backpack slung over one shoulder.
The zipper of her black windbreaker pulled to the very top. Her slender chin tucked into the collar. Long time no see. Young Miss Chen, what are you doing? No big deal. Just playing with an ignorant kid. Teaching him some rules. I looked at him vigilantly, thinking to myself, could it be that she brought this group of people just because I contradicted her during the day? Miss Chen, you are a sensible person. I am also just taking money to do a job helping people eliminate disasters. Just pretend you didn't see anything. Give us some face. Illreat you two drinks another day. Don't worry. I am not familiar with this person anyway.
Neither kin nor friend. Why would I meddle in this business? You guys continue. My heart sank. A surge of bitterness welled up in my heart. Hey, what to do? Looking at you like this, seems like you are really doomed today.
Are you really not going to help me? Of course, I can save you, but you have to agree to one condition of mine first.
In the dim alley, the girl's eyes sparkled. Chen Jing, I agree.
Chen Kon, who had just stepped out of the alley, paused her footsteps. Her pink lips chuckled softly. She threw her backpack on the ground, took off her jacket, and tossed it on top, turned around, and walked back. In just a few minutes, screams echoed one after another in the alley. I leaned against the wall, covered in a mess, looking at Chenchin's agile figure. Fast, ruthless, and accurate, sharper than anyone I've ever seen. Suddenly, a blonde guy pulled out a small knife and rushed towards Chen Chin amidst the chaos. I was quick to act, picked up my backpack, and smashed it towards that person.
Fortunately, the dagger only sliced through the corner of Chen Shin's clothes.
Does this bastard want to go to jail?
She turned back to look at me. I stiffened under her gaze, subconsciously tensed my body. Chen Jing walked up to me, her tone carrying a trace of heartache. Are you hurt? I lifted her arm and looked at her slashed school uniform. Her face had a thin layer of sweat from the fight just now, flushed red. Chenqing walked up to me, her tone carrying a trace of heartache. Are you hurt? I lifted her arm and looked at her slashed school uniform. Her face had a thin layer of sweat from the fight just now, flushed red. It's<unk> fine, aren't I perfectly okay. I picked up both our backpacks from the ground, grabbed her, and fled the messy alley. On the road, Chen Chin and I walked side by side.
Hey, don't forget what you just promised me. I took a deep breath and asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Hm, haven't<unk> thought of it yet.
It<unk>ll tell you when I figure it out.
Anyway, you owe me one, a favor." At this moment, Chen Shin<unk>s stomach suddenly rumbled. Chen Shin<unk>s whole face instantly turned red. Glared at me out of shame and anger. What are you looking at? Haven't you ever heard someone get hungry? People are iron.
Rice is steel. Doesn't it take energy?
Why don't you hurry and take me to eat?
But we looked for several restaurants in a row. Chen Shin was not satisfied with any of them. She suddenly asked me, "Where are you from?" "Sunin?" "Sunin, then make me some Gianan dishes. I haven't eaten authentic ones before." I thought for a moment and nodded. We went to the supermarket and bought groceries.
Chen Jing really wanted to eat a lot.
This fish looks pretty good. Buy those shrimp. Also need some greens. Let's get a little bit of everything. When we came out, I was carrying several bags. The two of us went back to my place. I dove into the kitchen to get busy. Chen Chin, on the other hand, acted as if she were in her own home. Sprawled on the sofa watching TV. Time to eat. I called out to her. Chen Chin sat up from the sofa and walked over. I asked casually, "What do you want to drink? There is fruit juice. Is there any buyer number?" Chen Shin curled her lips. She picked up a piece of chicken wing and put it in her mouth. Why is this sweet? Aren't cola chicken wings all sweet? The taste insin is on the sweeter side. Why are these greens so bland to They have no flavor at all. I want to eat something spicy.
Then try this. This one is flavorful and savory. Forcing myself.
Hmp ph. It's just okay, I guess. Half an hour later, I looked at the table full of empty plates. The corners of my mouth twitched. This is called forcing yourself.
Sigh. By the time I finished cleaning up the dishes, I found that Chenqing had already curled up on the sofa and fallen asleep. She halfcurled her body, nestled on the sofa like a little kitten. I thought of how during the day, in order to save me, the way she fought with those people, my heart couldn't help but ripple with emotion. Chenchin is actually a pretty good person. Why are you staring at me? Chenchin suddenly opened her eyes, scaring me a bit. She sat up, raised an eyebrow, and looked at me. I know I am good, but your gaze is a bit too direct, isn't it? I rolled my eyes, sat down on a chair to the side.
Since you're awake, leave quickly.
It's<unk> very late. A cheerful phone ringtone interrupted her. She answered the phone, and put it on speaker. Sister Chin, where are you? Come quickly to the usual place. That kid from the Sue family is recklessly provoking you, saying, last time you beat him into a drowned dog. This time he brought helpers to get payback. Are you coming or not? Chenchin originally wanted to refuse. Her gaze swept over me. Her eyes shifted. All right, let him wait.
He<unk>ll be right there. She hung up the phone, stood up, and put on her jacket. Let's<unk> go. It<unk>ll take you somewhere. Not going. Oh, come on.
For the sake of my righteous help today, helping you fight off the bad guys. Just accompany me on this trip. Let's go.
Let's go. I really owe you.
The taxi drove for a long distance and finally in an open field stopped.
SisterQing Z Linland ran over. Her eyes lit up upon seeing us. Yo, the little handsome guy came to Yeah. See, see, you even brought the person here. Yet, you still stubbornly say you don't like him.
Now there's going to be a scene to watch. Right, Sister Ching, that kid Sushin is here. Brought quite a few people waiting right at the entrance outside.
Chen Kon, I thought you chickenened out and didn't dare to come out. What?
Haven't you spent enough time in the lockup? Looks like the food inside was pretty good to let you come out and jump around so quickly. If you hadn't schemed against me last time, would I have gone in? If I really intentionally schemed against you, do you think you could still come out completely intact? A brain is a good thing. Too bad you don't have one. Sushing<unk>s face turned a bit pale. His tone became more aggressive. Chenqing, haven't seen you for a month. Do you dare to go Wanuan with me? Chenqing acted as if she heard a massive joke. Her thin lips parted slightly. Sushing haven't stayed in the police station enough. This time, do you want to go straight to the hospital's orthopedics department and book a VIP ward? Sure. It'll grant your wish. Chen Yi, don't be arrogant. It's still not certain who will win and who will lose tonight. It'll let you see who is the real king here.
Sushing only then noticed me beside Chenchin, his eyes glued to my body. His Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously.
Chenchin noticed his gaze, frowned in disgust, stepped forward to block me.
What are you looking at? Control your dog eyes. Sushin reluctantly withdrew his gaze. Chengian, dare to make a bet.
If you lose our race, give the little beauty behind you to me. If I lose, it<unk>ll give you a brand new Pagani.
How about it? You won't lose out. Fine, but I want to add a condition. If you lose, take your broken car and get out of the racing circle. Never appear in my sight again. You annoy me just looking at you. I promise you.
Don't regret it when the time comes.
Chenqing, what do you mean? On what grounds do you make decisions for me?
What's going on? How could you use me as a bet? What if you lose the race? Are you really going to make me leave with that pervert?
Don't worry, the two of us can definitely beat him. What do you mean the two of us? I don't know how to drive. Chenqing. But she turned around, waved her hand at me, and walked into the changing room.
Am not playing anymore. Don't leave. I am a top tier existence in the college student racing circle. Trust me.
I turned my head, looked into her eyes through the racing helmet. I looked at Chen Jing<unk>s roundo eyes full of pleading. My heart softened and reassened my seat belt.
Haha. I knew Econ was the best. The car slowly started. Hearing the deafening roar of the engine, I tightly gripped the car seat. Eekton, do you know why I chose racing in college?
This feeling of speeding on the track.
Can leave everything behind. Can make me forget all the sad things. The wind will blow away all the worries. I hope you can, too. The car flew out like a speeding arrow. The strong push back firmly pinned me against the back of the seat. The scenery on both sides of my vision retreated crazily. Those sounds of bullying and humiliation surrounding me seemed to have all disappeared. I felt as if the whole world was just me and the wind. On the track, the two cars were in hot pursuit of each other. I turned my head and looked at Chenshin's serious side profile. My heart made a thumping sound.
Only the last half lap of the race remained on the track. Suching car had been lingering diagonally behind, chasing us relentlessly. Suddenly, the racing car emitted a roaring acceleration sound. Chenqing slammed the gas pedal to the max and was the first to reach the finish line. Chenqing and I took off our helmets and got out of the car. Suching jumped out of the car, exasperated. I don't need your car. The performance is too poor. It doesn't deserve me. Remember the agreement you promised? Take your junk and get out of the racing circle. Don't ever appear in my sight again. Fine, Chenshin. You've got guts. You'd better pray you can keep being this arrogant forever. Don't trip up one day. Haha.
Let's go. The air here is bad. I followed Chen Jing and left the track.
How did the racing feel just now? It didn't scare you into throwing up, right? Not bad. This feeling of speeding on the track can make me forget all the sad things. So, what are you sad about, Chunqing? What kind of thing is it that needs to be forgotten with such a venting speed? What are you looking at?
It's so late. I it'll be merciful and take you back. Chenqing, thank you.
Thank you so much for helping me today.
It's It's nothing. Why are you suddenly so serious? Besides, didn't you also help me beat Sushing? We won together.
Haha. But sitting in the passenger seat, other than gripping the seat belt, I didn't seem to help much because having you by my side makes me feel at ease.
Really? Then you should thank me properly.
I won't short change you later. The car quickly drove to my doorstep. Eon, see you tomorrow. See you tomorrow. Chen Shin. Chen Shin got out of the car and watched me go home with a look of anticipation. I waved at her, turned around, and went upstairs. The next day at school, Chen Shin put breakfast on my desk. Good morning, Eken. I brought you breakfast. I looked at the enthusiastic Chen Shin, feeling a bit overwhelmed. I already ate. Eat it yourself. It was bought just for you. You are so thin.
The morning classes are so long. Eat it later when you're hungry. Don't waste it. The school bell rang. The first class is physics. The physics teacher graduated from a prestigious university.
The lectures logic is tight. If you lose focus, even slightly, you can't keep up with his logic. Waiting until class ended. Did I realize that Pay Ryan didn't come to school today? I took out my phone and sent her a message. It's probably some urgent matter. Pay Ryan never replied. Chen Chin slept on her desk the entire morning. The noon dismissal bell rang. Sister Chin, wake up. A new hot pot restaurant opened outside the school. The reviews are explosive. Let's go eat there. Sister Ching, let's go. Chenqing lifted her head from the seat. She glanced at Z Llin with sleepy eyes, got up, and pulled me over. Let's go. I'm hungry.
Let's go eat together.
Chen Jing is already a popular figure on campus. Plus, I am also very handsome.
The three of us walking side by side quickly became a beautiful scenery in the school. Yes, I saw a familiar figure walking over from afar. It was Pay Ryan.
Pay Ryan<unk>s soft long hair fell on her shoulders. Her eyes were slightly red. She also saw me and Chenqing beside me. Then her gaze dodged and brushed past us. My intuition told me, "Pay Ryan must have encountered something. You guys go ahead. I'm not going." After I told Cheng and the others, I prepared to turn around and leave. Stop. Are you going to look for Pay Ryan? Yeah. You guys go eat. Don't worry about me. I'm going to see what's wrong with her. If you go look for her now, then don't ever come back to see me again. Her eyes turned red, staring straight at me, trying to force me again. In my mind, I recalled Chenchin's history of insisting on having her way. Let's<unk> eat next time. I ignored Chenchin<unk>s threat.
After speaking, I turned and walked towards Pay Ryan behind me. Sigh. Sister Chin, it's fine. The two of us will go without this blockhead. I actually feel more at ease. Can say whatever we want to say.
Hey, Ryan. Are you okay?
Did something happen? Hey, Ruian. Hey, Ruan. What happened to your face? It's nothing. Just feeling a bit unwell. Just a slight fever. Asked for leave to get some medicine. I saw the message you sent me. Thank you, Eken. I looked at the swollen right side of her face.
There were faint red slap marks on it.
As long as you are fine, let's go. It's almost noon. Let me take you to eat.
What do you want to eat? Okay. Yeah. I placed the tray in front of Pay Ryan.
Pay Ryan halflowered her head quietly holding her chopsticks to eat. Ryan, how is your consideration of Uncle Pay's proposal?
Pay Ryan didn't even raise her head upon hearing his words, but I saw her subconsciously tighten her grip on the chopsticks. Kid, haven't you had enough of a lesson from last time? It's you, Song Ting. What did you do to Eon?
Nothing. Just making him recognize reality and know his place. That's all.
The charity ball hosted by my family this weekend. Remember to come. I want you to be my most beautiful dance partner. As for this country bumpkin, you can also come. After all, only after seeing the mud pit will you know how high the clouds are. Come see what true nobility is and the difference from a lowly person like you. Eon, don't don't listen to his nonsense. He is just like that, full of nonsense. He is threatening you, isn't he?
It's not like that. I pay Ruen.
I will go with you this weekend.
Econ, I don't want to get you into something too complicated. You will suffer a loss. Don't worry. It's fine. I can't just let you go alone to face those capturing wolves and jackals. Then she raised her head and looked at me. On her originally sorrowful face, a gratified smile appeared. After the lunch break, Chenqing<unk>s seat remained empty. I called her to try and get in touch, but couldn't get through.
I simply stopped caring about her because I knew there was a more important thing to do now. Saturday night, I arrived at the open air ballroom of the private club as promised. The ball song Ting mentioned is hosted by the Chen family, the new tech elites of city, the investment promotion ball they held. In the middle of the ball, where the elegant and wealthy Chen couple, who have been passionate about charity for over a decade, Song Ting and Song Nuo also arrived. The two of them dressed like proper gentlemen, holding their wine glasses and flatteringly clinking glasses with the Pay sisters. I wandered around the ball. With a glance, I saw a familiar figure. Chen Chin was wearing casual clothes, sitting on a sofa chair, eating grapes one by one. Chen Chin, Eeken, why are you here? Then she glanced at Pay Ryan on the dance floor and sneered. Hey, no wonder you snuck in because of Pay Ryan, right? You are really persistent. Econ, you even chased her to a place like this. Are you that reluctant to part with her? Yeah, I ignored the mockery in her words and asked the messages I sent you. Why didn't you reply to my messages? I was very worried about you. Why should I reply to you? I won't reply if I don't want to. Aren't we friends?
Oh, friends. Then may I ask what kind of friends? Is it ordinary friends or boyfriend and girlfriend?
Just as I was about to answer, pay Ryan walked over.
Econ, you're here. I've been looking for you for a while. Miss Pay, what are you picking? Your next target this time? Are you going to suck up to the Song family or the Shiao family? The Wong family?
With so many to pick from? Can your eyes even take it all in? Don't get dizzy from picking. Chening, can you speak properly? Why do you have to be like this every time? At this time, the Song brothers also walked over. Song Luo looked at me and mocked. Bro, he actually came in the university. Being able to see us is your honor. We are not someone you can climb up to. What is your status? An errand boy for a logistics company.
Humph. From which street stall did you buy this fake suit? Do you know which brands oat couture it is knocking off yet you dare to wear it? Songing. Don't go too far. Ryan, why are you also protecting him? I'm just making him recognize reality and know who he is.
Don't daydream who I am and what my status is. It's not your turn to judge.
At least I don't have to rely on stepping on others or depend on others whims to prove myself. Look quickly.
That's the president of an group. Oh my god, the rumors are true. He is actually a woman. Why would she suddenly appear here? The two song brothers stared at each other. Why? And hurriedly squeezed into the crowd. Hey Ryan looked at me with a confused face. The crowd gradually approached the three of us. At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked out from the crowd. She gradually walked towards me, then stopped and said to me, "Are these the classmates you met at the new school? It seems you are living quite a colorful life at this new school." After saying that, she turned and left. Behind me, Chen Jing, P Ryan, Seing, Song Nuo, and a crowd of business elites all looked at me with their own thoughts. In my heart, I couldn't help but think of Seing doesn't even think about it. If I really didn't have any background at all, how could it be possible to transfer out of thin air to the highly competitive Shangha first high? My parents themselves are the famous pride of city as business world.
My life before I was 4 years old was spent in carefree pampering. But a car accident took my father's life. Since then, my mother became withdrawn. She dedicated all her energy to my father's career. After I grew sensible, I voluntarily moved out of the family villa and lived alone outside. Anyway, my mother's company to me is just a dispensable existence. After my mother left, the Chen couple enthusiastically crowded in front of me. They pushed Pay Ryan to my side. Young Master G, you and our Ryan have the best relationship at school. When you have time, come visit our home. The business circle is just like this. The wind changes faster than turning the pages of a book. Just now, they were ignoring Song Ting<unk>s mockery of me. As more and more people gathered around me, I found an opportunity to slip to the balcony to rest. Why did you run out here? Doesn't Young Master Jang like this feeling of being surrounded by stars and being woripped like a treasure by others? I really don't like it. What about you?
Why did you run out here to The People inside are the most hypocritical, stepping on the low and worshiping the high. A nest of snakes and rats. It's disgusting just looking at them. I'm sorry, Chenqing. I shouldn't have abandoned you like that that day. Pay Ryan and I actually knew each other since we were kids. She is a very important friend to me. Seeing her like that that day, I couldn't just ignore her. Oh, Angie Group and the PE family.
Turns out they hooked up so early. It really is a well- matched marriage, an alliance of the strong. Why can't you just speak properly? Do you have to be so sarcastic and hostile? Besides, when Ryan and I met, she didn't have the surname Pay yet. She was only adopted by the Pay couple after growing up.
Chenqing heard my words. Her eyes froze slightly. Pay Ryan was adopted.
Last time you suddenly stood me up, making me eat hot pot alone. Tell me, how do you want to compensate me this time? I met her direct gaze. My face felt slightly hot. What do you want?
The food at this ball tastes awful. It's all pretentious stuff. Let's go, young Master J. It'll take you to eat something truly delicious.
Hey, wait.
Pay Ryan is still inside. Are we just leaving like this?
Don't worry. Now the whole world knows that Py Ryan is under your protection.
Young Master Jiang, those guys who go with the wind are too busy sucking up to her. Who would dare to make things difficult for her at this time? Let's go. At the BBQ stall at night, Chen Kan and I sat at the stall. Hey, since you are the heir of Anne Group, that woman's son, why are you still alone living in that kind of shabby little building? How are you so sure that I am the heir to the Anne family? And who made the rule that rich people must live in big villas, drive luxury cars, and live under the spotlight every day? Don't interrupt. Then what exactly is your relationship with President Anne? Mother and son, relatives, or is she?
She is indeed my mom, but ever since my father passed away, she changed. She dedicated everything, including herself, to that so-called career. As for me, speaking of this, I lowered my head somewhat sadly. Chen Chin seemed to resonate with my experience. Her eyes were red, looking at me, hesitating to speak. Do you still remember our first meeting? First meeting? Wasn't it in the university? The first time you saw me? I was eating BBQ in the university town's food street. Then you rushed over and forcibly kissed me. I looked at the unnatural redness on the tips of her ears. She looked at me, revealing a sly and charming smile. Let's be together.
I was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. A perfectly good meal. We ended it hastily. Monday morning, I arrived at the classroom early. As soon as I entered the door, I saw exquisitly packaged sandwiches on my desk, bottled milk, perfectly shaped fried eggs. I looked at the breakfast filling the entire desk. The surrounding classmates all looked at me with envy.
Econ, you're here. I was afraid you didn't eat breakfast, so I just bought you something casually. See what you'd like to eat. As she spoke, Chenqing walked in from the door. Econ, I brought you breakfast. They are all freshly made. Eat them while they're hot. After she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of the breakfast on my desk and the Pay family logo on the packaging. A trace of anger flashed in her eyes.
Hey Ryan, why aren't you putting your breakfast on your own desk? Why put it here on E? Showing off your family. I bought breakfast for E. Whether he eats it or not is his business. But as for you, those things you brought better keep them for yourself to eat. Ekken isn't willing to eat your food. He is willing to eat mine.
Is that true? Eek, do you really not want to eat what I prepared for you? Ah, this. Haha.
Actually, I ain't. I already ate breakfast. I am really, really full.
These be You guys eat them. Don't waste them. Fortunately, the school bell rang just in time, letting me dodge a crisis.
But I can only dodge for a moment. I can't dodge forever. Econ, we didn't get to eat hot pot last time in very unhappy. Let's go. We must make up for it at noon. Pay Ryan quickly turned her head and argued with her. Eon already agreed. Eat lunch with me. Go eat hot pot by yourself. I watched the two refusing to yield to each other and could only stand aside smiling awkwardly. In the end, the three of us walked side by side on campus. Chen Jing was on my left and Pay Ryan was on my right. God, what's the deal with this guy? Two great beauties are both revolving around him. So, what? Look at how handsome he is and has good temperament, too. Did you hear? Jiang Chang seems to have a relationship with the famous Angiang group. No wonder.
Look at him. He doesn't look like an ordinary person. That kind of nobility is innate, right? Along the way, the campus was full of voices discussing me.
Since showing up at the ball, there have been far fewer voices belittling me on campus. More are curiosity and flattery.
Chenqing glanced at PE Ryan beside me. A certain third wheel is brighter than the sun during the day. Doesn't have any tact at all. P. Ryan glanced at Chenqing. A hint of disdain flashed in her eyes. It's not certain who the third wheel is until walking into the hot pot restaurant entrance. Still didn't dare to let go. Inside the hot pot restaurant, the three of us sat around the hot pot on different sides. Pay Ryan considerately put the cooked mutton into my bowl. Eon, eat more meat. You are too thin. Yeah. What? Does he have no hands or is he paralyzed? Does he need you to pick up food for him? Pay Ryan completely ignored Chenqing<unk>s words and continued to considerately pick up food for me. Chenqing clicked her tongue, then stretched out her long arm and took the food Pay Ryan put in my bowl into her own bowl. After doing this, she gave Pay Ryan a provocative look. Thank you. Thanks. I was just wanting to taste if this meat is overcooked.
At this time, the door chime rang. Song Ting and Song Nuo also walked into the hot pot restaurant. Bro, look. Sister Ryan is also here. The three of us turned our heads and just happened to make eye contact with them. Songing walked over with a smile and said to us, "Ryan, what a coincidence. You are also here for Ha." Jung Chen, you are here too. Say hello to President Anne for me.
Chenqing looked at him and sneered.
Finding someone to beat you up to would make him very well. What does young master also want to experience it?
Song Ting, seeing no one paid attention to him, still maintained a smile and said, "Haha, Miss Chen really knows how to joke. Then you guys take your time eating. I won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, he pulled Song Nuo and left. Outside the Hot Pot restaurant door, Song Nuo said dissatisfiedly.
Bro, why are you leaving? I've wanted to eat at this restaurant for a long time.
Finally got in line. Why be afraid of them? Eat. Eat. All you know is eat.
Can't you tell? They didn't take us seriously at all. Jong Chen, Chen Ji, and Pay Ryan. Just you all wait. One day I will make them pay for their arrogance today. Inside the hot pot restaurant, pay Ryan said with a worried face. Eon, this person's Song Ting holds grudges very much and his personality is fickle, seeking revenge for the smallest grievance, making him lose so much face at the ball. Last time he definitely won't let it go. I'm afraid he will retaliate against you. Chenchings looked at him indifferently. Let him come. I'd like to see what waves a Mirong family can make. Just a dog relying on the Chen family for food. So what if he jumps the wall in desperation? Pay Ryan glanced at Chenqing. You already have a bunch of rotten people and rotten things around you. If he wants to make a move, he probably has to get in line. Eon, listen to me. You better move back to live with Auntie Anne recently or go back to the Anne family villa. At least there are bodyguards and servants around to take care of you. It's safer. If you encounter that kind of thing in the alley last time again, what would you do? Chenqing said dissatisfiedly. Why go back to that cold villa? To look at people's moods. Then let him live with me. My place is big and the security is good. Even if 10 more of Song Ting<unk>s useless gang come, I can still beat them down all the same. Absolutely no one can touch a single hair of yours. I lowered my head and thought. I knew Chen Shin<unk>s words were not unreasonable.
Songing could mess with me once. He could also mess with me twice or three times. I couldn't stay with Chen Shin all the time. The way back became heavy because of Seing<unk>s appearance. Chen Shin and Pay Ryan also stopped arguing.
At night, I sat on the sofa and pondered for a moment. Ultimately, still dialed the number on my phone. Beep beep beep.
After a burst of busy tone, a middle-aged woman's voice sounded, "Hello, Mom. It's me, Jang Chen." "Oh, what do you need me for? I am very busy right now. I want to move back to the old house for a few days recently. Is that okay? I am currently on a business trip in city B. Your uncle Jang also has things to do at home. Hey, he's not at the old house recently. There's no one there. If it's not anything important, then don't come back and cause trouble for now." I listened to the cold woman's voice on the phone, feeling a wave of bitterness in my heart. Hanging up the phone, I looked at the family portrait in the photo album beside me and sighed.
At this moment, a message popped up on the phone interface. It was Chen Chin. Z Linlin has a racing competition tomorrow afternoon. Econ, will you accompany me to watch it? I looked at the phone chat interface, revealing a doting smile.
Chenchin<unk>s words were as uncompromising as always. I replied to her, "Okay." On the racetrack, Z Linlin was wearing a sharp racing suit. She waved at me and pay Ryan from afar.
You're finally here. Quick, it'll take you to see little black. Coming, Sister Shin, over here. Oh, the little handsome guy also came to support sis. Sister Ching, just watch my performance today.
Man and car are one. I guarantee to stun the whole crowd together with little black and take the championship. Saying that, she stroked the completely black cool racing car with her hand. I followed her gaze. I knew Little Black was one of Chinqing<unk>s favorite racing cars. No wonder she wanted to drag me to watch this race. She must really value it. This is Z Lingling<unk>s proving battle in the racing circle. And also Little Black's comeback race. I don't ask for anything else. I only hope they can finish the race safely. It would be even better if they could stun the whole crowd. I looked at her. Yeah, definitely will.
Little Black and Lynland won't let you down. This race organized by CityA University participated by college students quickly began. Little Black driven by Z Llin quickly darted out. In the first half of the race, Z Linland maintained third place. Soon it reached the final lap. Z Linland violently increased the throttle and sharply overtook the second place. Chenqing and I shouted excitedly, "Good job!
Overtook! Overtook! Almost first place!
Just a little bit more. Almost first, Little Black passed the curve, seeing that the next second it would overtake the first place. At this moment, the racing car drove uncontrollably towards the outside of the track. With a bang, the right side of Little Black crashed into the edge of the track. Black smoke and red flames spewed from the car, instantly swallowing half of the car body. Z.
We quickly ran towards Z Linland, whose life was uncertain at this moment.
Outside the hospital, Chen Jing and I anxiously waited outside the emergency room. After the accident, old Lee, the track administrator, said, "Miss Chen, Mr. Jiang, 2 days before the accident, that young master from the Sue family, Su Shing, came to the track, saying he was retrieving leftbeat items, but he was over at Little Black's maintenance area and stayed for over an hour before leaving through a surveillance blind spot." Don't know what he did. After hearing old list words, Chenqing<unk>s eyes were completely red. Very well.
Sushing, you just wait for me. This is not over. After the surgery ended, Z Linland was pushed out of the ward, her right leg and right arm were both temporarily fixed with splints. Even though the car crash didn't cause too much damage, but her arm and thigh were visibly scraped and need rest to heal.
Chenqing and I looked at C. Lynlin, who was still sleeping postsurgery. She said guilty. The person Su Xing actually wanted to harm was me. I reached out and hugged her shoulder to comfort her. He will definitely pay the price. City as financial channel has always been the news channel most valued by local enterprises. It always broadcasts the city's latest financial news. This day, oh, SisterQing, actually, you really don't have to work so hard taking care of me.
Hm. Chenshin rolled her eyes and stuffed grapes into her mouth. Eating still can't shut your mouth. The two of us coincidentally glanced at the TV broadcast and smiled at each other. The TV news sound rang out right on time.
Today's city, a financial breaking news.
Sue Group's heir. Sushing yesterday evening was cornered by the police inside a sterated hotel's presidential suite. Camera cuts. Sushing panicking and hiding. No filming.
According to in-depth investigation by relevant departments, the Sue Group in recent years has engaged in multiple serious illegal activities. The market value of the Sue Group evaporated overnight. Many shareholders besieged downstairs at the Sue building to condemn them. Zinland stared white at the news. The grapes in her mouth also forgotten to be chewed. My god, SisterQing, worthy of being you. This is too fast and too ruthless. Sushing. This bastard serves him right. Haha. That's for harming people. Chenqing proudly curved the corners of her mouth. Don't even look at who your sister Ching is.
Daring to touch my people. This is the consequence. Susin has done so many dirty things. Should have been dealt with long ago. However, this matter could be handled so quickly. Also, thanks to the key evidence provided by Anjiang Group and their thunderous methods.
Thank you, Econ.
It's nothing. The Sue Group has never left any leeway in business wars. This is their own doing. Common sense at the top level. I gave the illegal evidence of the Sue family that I collected. Jing took a deep look at me. There was a sigh of tacid approval in that look. She just nodded faintly and signed her name on the document. Z Lingling looked at the two of us curiously. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
The atmosphere between you two isn't right. What stage has it developed to?
Eat your grapes.
At this time, my phone received a call from Pay Ryan. Z Linland's voice sounded behind me. Sister Shin already injured and you still hit me.
Walking out of the ward door. Hello, Ryan. Pay Ryan<unk>s gentle and delicate voice came through the phone. Econ, when are you coming back? It<unk>ll be going back tomorrow. What's wrong? I have something I want to tell you in person.
Wait until you come back tomorrow. Just as I was about to agree, Chenqing walked out from the ward. She snatched my phone, glanced at the contact, and directly hung up the phone without another word. What did she say to you?
Does she want to call you away again?
Oh, nothing major.
Oh, really? Nothing. Then just now you looked so serious and even hid outside to take the call. Tell me if you don't say it. If you don't say it then right here you there are so many people here how could you oh you actually really want to let me am just too embarrassed to say after saying that being in a public place I gently pushed her away pay Ryan said she has something to tell me tomorrow what could she have after looking for song ting now she comes looking for you the pay group's biggest business is finding a like money after All Ryan is not the biological daughter of the pay couple. She also has her own difficulties. She h birds of a feather flock together. In the morning classroom, I looked at pay Ryan and asked, "Ryan, what's wrong? What did you need me for? Come to the rooftop at noon. I have something to say to you." I nodded at her. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Chen Jing was staring at us unblinkingly.
At noon, on the school rooftop, P Ryan stood by the railing. The wind blew her long hair elegantly. Ryan. Ah, Eon, you're here.
She was a bit shy, said Coily. I want to tell you something today.
I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend.
I looked at her in surprise. Pretend.
After the dance ball last time, my adoptive parents found out about our matter and have been putting pressure on me ever since. You know, I am not their biological child. These past few years, I have also been forced to associate with people like Song Ting. I just want you to pretend for a bit. This way, when they see I have someone I'm dating, maybe they won't push me so hard anymore. Is that okay if you are not willing? It's<unk> also fine. Pay Ryan lowered her head in disappointment. I looked at her and remembered Sue Ryan who stood in front of me to protect me.
I promise you, but we are not a real boyfriend and girlfriend, you know.
Thank you, E.
I understand. The two of us went downstairs one after the other. Chenqing was in the stairwell at this time. Eon, you're back. Hey, Ryan saw this and deliberately moved closer to me, looking at Chenqing, you too. Chen Jing saw her action and asked in confusion. City, a university's most handsome boy. Econ is my boyfriend now.
It's<unk> not like that, don't. If you tell her with her temper knowing it's fake, she will definitely spread it around. If it reaches my adoptive parents, they will force me again. Then what we just talked about will all be in vain. After hearing Pay Ryan<unk>s words, I pursed my lips and ultimately did not say words of denial. Econ, are you really together with her?
Chenqing looked at our intimate actions.
Her eyes reened. After speaking, she gave me a heartbroken look, turned around, and left. I felt depressed in my heart. Chenqing Ein don't forget to come to my house this weekend. Even a fake play has to be done completely. Pay Ryan shouted from behind me. In the afternoon class, Chen Chin was no longer in the classroom. I made several phone calls but couldn't get through. The message interface also showed Reed without reply. Chen Chin once again disappeared from my life. See you this weekend. I arrived at Pay Ryan's house at the agreed time. Pay Ryan<unk>s home is a single family villa. The Chen couple both stood at the door to welcome me. Young Master Jiang, you're here.
Just call me Jang Chen. Oh, I heard from Ryan that you two have known each other since childhood. It's really destiny.
Jang Chen, I heard you are not living at the Anne family. Living outside alone.
Haha. Young and responsible. Even Pay Ryan didn't know the news that I was living outside. I couldn't help but re-examine Father Chen in front of me.
My mother is busy with work. Young Master Jiang tastes what I made myself.
Third sister, taste it. Mind your manners. Got it. Sigh. Ryan, your third sister also means well. Mother Pay patted Pay Ryan's hand and pushed the dessert closer to my hand again. Eon, don't be polite. Eat, Ryan. You eat it.
You must be hungry.
Immediately, Mother Pay and the woman in red both changed their expressions. Pay Ryan looked at me gratefully. All right, since everyone is here, then let's start talking about business. Jong Chen, since you two are mutually in love, it's safer to settle this kind of thing earlier.
Uncle, this is exactly what I also wanted to say. Ryan and I have discussed it. We plan to go to the US together for further studies after graduating from high school. Wedding ceremonies are tedious. It's not too late to hold it after our studies abroad are stable.
This is also my mother's intention. She feels young people should establish their careers first. Oh. Oh. Haha. Since it's President Anne<unk>s proposal, then well, do as you say. As you say, Mother Pay and the beside third sister still looked awful, but didn't dare to say anything more. Pay Rin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly cast me a grateful look. I nodded faintly, but my heart was full of Chenqing with red eyes. The look of her turning around and leaving like a fine needle piercing my heart, making it stuffy. This hypocritical visit finally endeared to the end.
As soon as I walked out of the PE family villa, I immediately took out my phone to dial Chen Shin's number. The receiver still had the cold. The number you dialed cannot be connected for the moment. I gripped the phone. My fingertips turned white. This is the third day of her disappearance. It's also the first time I felt so panicked.
I know her too well. She seems flamboyant and wild, covered in spikes.
It's all because of the coercion of that cold family. I am one of the few who could enter her heart. But in order to help pay Ryan, I personally pushed her back into the darkness.
I walked familiarly to her apartment door and knocked gently on the door.
Cheni, it's me, Jang Chen.
Chen Shin, I know you are listening. Pay Ryan and I are not really together.
Everything is fake. It was to help her deal with her family. I didn't lie to you. Never have. The door was opened with a click. Chen Shin stood at the door. Her eyes were red and swollen like walnuts with heavy dark circles under her eyes. Her whole person had lost a lot of weight. Seeing it made my heart clench suddenly.
fake.
Then why didn't you explain at that time Jong Chen? I thought you were different from the others. Nobody loved me since I was little. My dad only listens to my stepmother. That woman treats payan as a treasure and treats me as an extra bastard. In university, I met you. Only you. Only you wouldn't despise me.
Wouldn't push me away. I reached out and gently wiped away her tears. My fingertips touched her warm skin. My voice was gentle and firm. I'm sorry, Chenshi. It's<unk> my fault. P Ryan is my childhood friend. She is now being forced into an arranged marriage by her adoptive mother with no way out. I was just helping her pretend to be her boy friend to deal with her family. I have never liked her, nor have I ever thought about being with her. In my heart, from beginning to end, there is only you, Chen Shin. only you reread.
Absolutely true. I tightly held her hand the first time at the University Town Food Street. When you kissed me, my heartbeat became chaotic. Later in university, you targeted me everywhere, but my gaze couldn't help chasing after you. You were fierce with your words, but you protected me everywhere, cared for me, and even risked your life for me. Chen Ki, since that day at the University Town Food Street, my heart fluttered for you, and I started liking you. Cheng Kai<unk>s tears fell even more fiercely. But she threw herself into my arms, hugging me tightly. You are not allowed to lie to me anymore.
Not allowed to leave me alone anymore. I promise I never will again. I gently patted her back. The huge rock suspended in my heart for 3 days finally fell. Her apartment is not big, but kept clean.
The walls are covered with racing posters. A helmet is placed in the corner. Everywhere is her vivid appearance. I just sat with her for a long time, waited until her emotions calmed down before slowly explaining everything clearly. Pay Ryan found me, saying she was being followed and wanted me to pretend to be her boyfriend. Not long after, the doorbell rang. I opened the door to look. Standing outside was Pay Ryan. She was holding a bag of fruit in her hand. Seeing the calmed down Chenshin, she took the initiative to step forward. Chen Shin sorry before it was me who used Jang Chen and deliberately created a misunderstanding to make you sad. I am truly sorry. Chen Jing<unk>s eyes still carried some distance but no longer had the sharpness of the past. You are obviously the treasure held in the palms of the Pay family. Why do you need to apologize to an extra person like me? Pay Ryan smiled bitterly with relief in her eyes. I was adopted. I understand the feeling of living under someone else's roof better than anyone. I can tell you care about Jong Chen a lot. I shouldn't have hurt you in such a selfish way. At the end of the day, we are all people lacking love.
There's no need to make things difficult for each other. Chenqing was silent for a moment. Looking at Pay Ryan<unk>s sincere eyes, she finally nodded gently.
Let<unk>s forget about the past. All the misunderstandings accumulated among the three of us. We're finally completely resolved at this moment. Chenchin also finally understood. I had never chosen anyone else. From beginning to end, I had always chosen her. Back at school, Seing and Songo still hadn't given up, wanting to use family matters to make things difficult for us, but they didn't know. After the fall of the Sue group, the Song family lost all their backers and was no longer as glorious as before.
Songing tried on campus to spread rumors about Mi and Chen Chin. He was exposed on the spot by Z Linlin leading a group of classmates. He became angry from embarrassment and wanted to fight, but was caught by the security guards and given a major demerit. Not long after, the Song group's capital chain completely broke and declared bankruptcy. Song Ting and Song Nuo went from high and mighty rich young masters, two destitute youths whom everyone avoided. They eventually transferred out of Shanjo First High School and never appeared again. Seeing that Pay Ryan and I had a good relationship, the stepmother and third sister didn't dare to casually send her off for an arranged marriage, pay Ryan finally broke free from her shackles, focused on studying and moved forward towards her dreams.
Chen Hui later came looking for Chen Chin a few times, wanting to make up for his mistakes, but was rejected at the door by Chen Chin every time. The coldness of those years cannot be erased by just a few apologies. She only wanted her own peaceful life. After Z Linland's injuries completely healed, she returned to the racetrack with the help of Chenchin and me. She trained hard and finally won the championship in the National College Student Racing Competition, becoming a highly anticipated, newly minted racer. I also finally resolved the knot in my heart with my mother. She put down some of her work and often came to keep me company.
That maternal love that had been missing for years slowly returned to my side bit by bit. I was no longer that lonely, inferior, and bullied boy. On the day of university graduation, the flame trees in the school bloomed exceptionally brilliantly. I, Chenqing, Pay Ryan, and Z Linland walked shoulder-to-shoulder in the campus, the sunlight filtering through the leaves and shining on us, full of the tenderness of youth.
Chenqing leaned on my shoulder, her red hair blown by the wind. Her smile was radiant. We are going to the same city for our post-graduate studies. I will follow you all the time and annoy you to death. Okay, follow you for a lifetime.
No, going back on your word. Pay Ryan looked at us, her eyes full of blessings. I am going to study literature. I will write many, many warm stories in the future. As for people like me, people who have been hurt before, like us, I will continue racing.
Winning the national championship is not enough. I want to win the world championship and let everyone see my speed. All the sufferings and gloom have become the past. The injuries we suffered, the tears we shed have all become medals of growth. Chenqing and I successfully passed our post-graduate exams and entered the same school. I majored in finance and slowly took over my mother's business, becoming an independent young entrepreneur. Chenqing didn't give up racing, becoming the youngest female racer in the country. On the track, she is still the most dazzling crimson. Pay Ryan returned from her studies and became a writer, writing stories that heal people's hearts with her pen. One day, I finished a three-hour project meeting. My phone immediately popped up a message from Chen Chin. Friendly match at the suburban track tonight. Saved an exclusive spectator seat for you. Come quickly, I replied with a smile. Be right there. Looking forward to the racer winning the championship. The night was deep. The track was brightly lit. Chun Chin was already beside the car. Seeing me, she trotted over. I thought you were so busy with work that you forgot your wife at the track. No matter how busy I am, I won't miss any of my wife's races. Are you nervous?
I've been preparing for 3 months. It's basically a sure win. Just waiting to win the championship and go home so you can celebrate for me. Winning or losing is not important. Safety first.
She put on her helmet and looked at me through the visor. Don't worry. I will definitely finish the race steadily and go home with you. The bright red car body pierced through the night. Its posture was sharp and swift. 20 minutes later, the race concluded. Chenqing steadily won the championship. She took off her helmet and ran quickly towards me, her eyes full of joy. Isn't your wife super amazing? Yes, always has been to me. You will always be the most dazzling one. At this time, P Ryan walked over slowly. Chen Shia spoke.
Congratulations on winning the championship. Hin, good thing I made it in time. Thanks, by the way. Your new book is a big hit, even more viral than me winning the championship. Just writing about growth and healing myself.
That's all. Cannot compare to you guys.
One, chasing the wind on the track. One, guarding the home base behind. Yeah, we both held on to our youthful obsessions.
And I am the luckiest. Marrying the person I liked in my youth and bringing her home. Cheng key tilted her head up and looked at me with a smile. All right, let's take a trip to the old night market. Hubby is treating to celebrate my victory. The three of us hit it off immediately. The night market's atmosphere was warm. The evening breeze blew away our fatigue.
While chatting, Chenqing sighed softly.
Before everyone tried to persuade me to give up, saying, "It's too hard here.
Only you supported me unconditionally from beginning to end. Besides, you chasing your passion is already shining brightly itself. All I could do was protect that beam of light. Time tossed and turned for several years. Chening and I ended our years long marathon of love and got married. In the third year of marriage, our daughter Sui Sui was born. One weekend, Pay Ryan came to visit our home. Chenqing saw the visitor and stood up with a smile to welcome her. Pay Ryan handed a brand new original picture book to the child. for Sui Sui. Wishing you a life of peace and no worries.
You too. Always spoil her so much. Cheng smoothly nestled against my shoulder and sighed softly. Time passes really fast.
In the past, we were still confused about the future. Desperately trying to prove ourselves now. Our careers are stable and our family is complete. Yeah.
So, about your national finals next month, how is your preparation? This is the most important race this year.
Winning means becoming the annual overall champion. I am actually a bit nervous. Will you and Sui Sui both come to the venue to be with me then? Okay.
With you guys there, my heart will be completely at ease. I will accompany you the whole way. I have already arranged all the company affairs, all making way for your finals. I promise I will definitely not be absent. Um, hubby is the best. Hey, Ryan nodded in agreement.
I will also push away all the book signings next month and arrange to cheer for you at the venue. Moreover, I want to put your story of chasing the wind and your dreams into my book. Millions only see the glory of me crossing the finish line and winning the championship. Only you have seen my wretchedness when I was injured during training, always tolerating me and supporting me to get to where I am today. I gently stroked the top of her head. That wretchedness and those tears are also a part of you.
I will always be your backing. The finals arrived as scheduled. The stadium was packed with no empty seats. The red racing car was the first to cross the finish line. Thunderous applause erupted. Sui Sui waved her hand vigorously, shouting, "Pay Ryan!"
Freezing this burning hot moment, softly sighing, that passion never fades. "So good!" I looked at my dazzling lover on the track. Looking at my best friend and child beside me, my heart was full of completion. From accompanying each other in youth to staying together for the rest of our lives, all passions have an echo. All endeavors reach a perfect fulfillment. The story serves as a profound and poignant reminder that the shadows of our past marked by trauma, loneliness, and the stinging wounds of rejection do not ultimately define the trajectory of our lives, but instead act as the forging fire that shapes our resilience and capacity for genuine connection. Through the protagonist's arduous journey from being isolated, bullied outcasts to discovering solace and purpose in their shared passions.
The narrative beautifully illustrates that true healing is never an isolated endeavor. Rather, it is a transformative process achieved through the quiet courage to be vulnerable, the relentless persistence to pursue one's true calling, and the liberating grace to forgive both others and ourselves for the mistakes of the past. It conveys the empowering message that when we bravely choose to stand by those who perceive our inherent worth even while navigating the chaotic high stakes racetrack of existence, we possess the power to transcend our darkest, most painful beginnings. By transforming our deepest sorrows into a life fueled by purpose and companionship, we eventually discover that all genuine efforts, whether anchored in the pursuit of a dream or the dedication to a love that survives every hardship, will inevitably find their echo in a lasting fulfilled reality, proving that no matter how broken the start, our story can conclude as a testament to the enduring victory of the human spirit.
