A wave of guilt filled the chambers of my heart in an instant.
My fingers reflexively tightened, as if I were itching to slap myself.
I intended to soothe her, so why did I speak those insincere words, wound Chenxing and hurt myself!
-------------------------------------------------
Heave!
Heave!
Heave!
Chenxing was leaning over the wash basin, retching repeatedly. All she expelled was a light acidic fluid, nothing more.
An unpleasant sour sll invaded her nostrils. Chenxing quickly turned on the faucet to wash away the odor perating the room.
Then she leaned against the basin, looking at her reflection in the mirror, scrutinizing it closely.
The woman who had just awakened, her eyes filled with a few streaks of red veins.
Chenxing washed her face, drying her mouth with a towel, as she slightly furrowed her brows: Did I eat sothing bad?
But no, I hadn’t eaten anything. Could I be getting cold?
Her cousin Luo Xi’s voice reached her from outside. Before she could turn around, Luo Xi had already pushed open the bathroom door to stand by her side, her arms crossed and smiling at her: "Silly girl, are you upset? What’s with hiding in your room and crying all alone?"
Chenxing’s swollen eyes looked up: "How did you know?"
"Your butler called , asked to co over and keep you company," Luo Xi sat down on the basin, pressing hard on her head: "You silly thing, crying in the room because Gu Shaocheng hasn’t been ho for a month? How could I have a sister as spineless as you?"
Chenxing pouted: "That’s not it."
"You still say it’s not! You’ve been absent-minded these days, and you don’t even want to go shopping with . It’s just a man, how can you be so attached? Yan Fengchi often doesn’t co back to the villa for half a month, yet I never cry."
Wait, what does Yan Fengchi not coming ho have to do with her?
An alarm bell rang loud in Luo Xi’s heart. She vehently shook her head, scattering an ominous thought that had suddenly arisen. Looking at her disappointing cousin, she poked her head again: "Quickly clean up, and accompany on a trip."
"Where to?"
"We’re going to visit our grandmother. Hurry up, you have five minutes. And don’t give that look as if the world has co to an end, it’s absolutely hideous."
Chenxing bit her lip: "My face is clearly showing heartbreak."
"Heartbreak, my foot!"
Luo Xi didn’t have the patience to coax her. If it weren’t for Gu Shaocheng begging her to comfort the little girl he had made cry, she wouldn’t bother ddling in other people’s affairs.
"Seriously, he said he doesn’t like anymore, cousin, what should I do?"
Luo Xi was a bit wicked at heart. As soon as Chenxing was ready, she took her outside, and while walking, said: "If he doesn’t like you, don’t like him either. Isn’t that the answer?"
Not liking him? The thought alone was painful. Impossible.
Even if she resented him so deeply that she gritted her teeth, the re idea of no longer liking him hurt more than his neglect. Indeed, won are truly masochists.
"Let tell you, being dear for a day is infatuation, being dear for a year is romance, being dear for five years with continued joy is affection. Being dear for ten years is genuine love. If he still has feelings for you after thirty years, that’s true love. How long have you known Gu Shaocheng? Are you so easily moved by a little romance and sweet words that you think you can’t do without him? Let tell you, my silly little sister, life is long."
