CH 62

Yu Mei took the cold medicine, looked down at the box, and looked at Ye Kehuan, who was standing in front of her. She tugged at the corners of her lips, feeling like her face was about to cramp: “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” After Ye Kehuan finished speaking, she returned to her room.

Sitting down at the table, Ye Kehuan held up her chopsticks and looked at the snake soup, salt and pepper mushrooms, and cold wild vegetables on the table. She felt very rich and in a good mood, so she looked at Jiang Laien: “Okay, let’s eat!”

“Yeah!” Jiang Laien smiled and nodded, drank a sip of snake soup, picked up a few chopsticks of wild vegetables, and ate a bite of salt and pepper mushrooms. She felt that this kind of pastoral life was indeed quite comfortable. Although there was no air conditioner, no Internet, and no TV, she felt a bit like a fairy.

Yu Mei never would have thought that Ye Kehuan had been a terrible problem child when she was younger. She stabbed bird eggs with others, caught caterpillars in the school yard, beat the fat principal's grandson, and would even cut off the heads of pet snakes and lizards owned by her uncle.. 

Even when Ye Kehuan went to play with a distant relative in the countryside during a summer vacation, she threw cow dung, and would run around the mountain with a stick, pretending to be a bandit. When she came back every day, her whole body was covered in mud, not like a lady at all. It really hurt the brains of the Ye couple.

Because she was so horrible, when she was in the fifth grade of elementary school, her parents even changed her name to Ye Wenjing. But after the change, they found that it was not useful at all. Ye Kehuan still jumped up and down like a monkey. Instead, the name became a kind of irony, so they changed it back. 1

Because their daughter was too horrible, her parents hired various professionals to treat her, and after pinching her financial resources so that she could not even afford candy, Ye Kehuan slowly began to become honest. Therefore, Yu Mei was right, Ye Kehuan was indeed a brutal little demon by nature.

After dinner, and the tableware was cleaned, Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien were taking out their dirty clothes to prepare to wash them. As a result, they heard noisy footsteps outside the door.

The two looked at each other, then stood up, opened the door, and went out to see what was going on outside. They saw that Yu Mei was holding her stomach and getting into a van with Li Yaolin’s support.

“She’s seriously ill, are you going to see a doctor?” Ye Kehuan asked.

After listening, Li Yaolin turned her head to look at her with complicated emotions, and then nodded: “Yes.”

Ye Kehuan sighed, “Then remember to be safe on the way back.”

Yu Mei turned her head and looked at her with a pale face and half-opened purple lips, and gave her a smile more ugly than a grimace: “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Ye Kehuan waved her hand.

Soon after, Yu Mei and Li Yaolin got in the car, and the driver drove them away slowly.

Ye Kehuan looked as the car’s tail lights faded into the darkness, sighed, and turned to look at Jiang Laien: “See this? You must take care of yourself. The body is the capital of the revolution, and health is the most important thing.”

When Jiang Laien heard her words, she nodded, “Yes.”

“This show is really amazing. People have been leaving from beginning to end.” Ye Kehuan stared at the dark courtyard in front of her, sighing with emotion, not realizing what she had done.

“Yes, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation.” Jiang Laien nodded again, and then turned around to start washing clothes.

At that time, Yu Mei was in the car, clutching her stomach, her teeth gritted with hatred. During the show, she did not have any shining moments, but she ended up like this, and was even forced to stop recording. In fact, she still wanted to bite her teeth and insist on it, but the people on the crew saw that her situation was really not good, and probably because they were afraid something would happen to her, and then she would make a mess, they insisted on sending her away.

Yu Mei was really unwilling. That was a great opportunity to turn over. She had a chance to stand up again, but she ended up like this. Next, she would still have to live as a passerby under the starlight of Jiang Laien, after coming to close to regaining some for herself…

Also, was Ye Kehuan a fool?!

Thinking of that, Yu Mei’s stomach hurt worse, and her head started to go dizzy with anger, making her feel like she was dying.

Li Yaolin saw drops of tears falling from the corner of Yu Mei’s eyes, and was even more anxious. She kept saying: “Daughter, hold on, hold on, hold on, we’ll be at the hospital later, you’ll be alright!”

On the other side, Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien, after washing their clothes and drying them, boiled a pot of water, took showers, and then returned to their room and blocked the door with a wooden stick, lying down on the bed.

The bed was a bit hard. Although there was a cotton mattress underneath, it was directly laid on a wooden board after all. It did not even have a palm mat. For people who were accustomed to sleeping on Simmons and rubber mattresses, it was indeed quite hard.

After Jiang Laien laid down, looked at the time on her phone, and found that it was only nine o’clock in the evening, which was quite early, and laid there without a trace of sleepiness, she had to take out her phone and open a video app.

“Do you have a network?” Ye Kehuan pulled the quilt on her body and looked at her sideways.

Jiang Laien shook her head: “No, just, before coming here, the people in the program group said that the network here was unstable, and there was no guarantee, so I downloaded some movies and saved them on my phone so that I could watch them without the Internet.”

“Witty, I forgot that I could do that.” Ye Kehuan’s lips curled slightly.

“Because you are a fool.” Jiang Laien glanced at her sideways and shook her head helplessly.

Ye Kehuan laughed happily, coughed lightly, and then said, “Which movie did you download, let’s watch it together, anyway, there is nothing to do.”

“Yeah…” Jiang Laien raised her finger and swiped the screen, “Several of them, including ;Love in Time and Space’ starring Wang Liangxing, and ‘Dreamland of Me and You’ by Bai Wei, and ‘I Love You, Needless to Say’ by Xu Pianpian.”

“Are they all literary romance movies?” Ye Kehuan asked.

“Yes, I prefer to watch quieter movies. Which one do you want to watch?” Jiang Laien stopped her hand scrolling the screen and turned to ask her.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Kehuan said, “Then let’s watch ‘I Love You, Needless to Say’.”

Even though Ye Kehuan just read the name of the movie there, Jiang Laien felt that she was saying that to herself when she heard her words, and a subtle and strange feeling immediately arose in her heart.

“Okay.” Jiang Laien nodded, and then clicked on the movie.

After she clicked on it, Ye Kehuan moved her body closer to her. In that way, her breath scratched Jiang Laien’s neck, bringing out a strange tickling sensation. Jiang Laien gulped, and then clicked on the movie.

The film looked very cute and fresh from the beginning. The subtitles at the beginning of the film were very small and neat. With the background music, it seemed to be filled with a touch of sadness.

The male protagonist in the film was a deaf and mute person. After getting acquainted with the female protagonist, he fell in love with her at first sight. Unfortunately, the gap between them was too large. Whether it was their family backgrounds or other things, in general, it was too great of an obstacle, so he had always hid his love in his heart because of his low self-esteem, and was careful to not let it be discovered by others.

However, what he didn’t know was that the female lead actually fell in love with him at first sight too, and even deliberately learned sign language in order to get close to him, just to communicate with him.

In the end, the two finally got married, and it was a very warm ending.

After watching it, Ye Kehuan couldn’t help but sigh slightly: “It’s really not easy.”

Jiang Laien put down her phone and nodded: “Yes, fortunately, I didn’t miss it. This is also a kind of luck.”

Ye Kehuan nodded, and then stopped talking, just resting her hands and turning her head to look at Jiang Laien, who was lying on her side.

Seeing that she had been staring at her like that, Jiang Laien didn’t know how to react for a while, so she just stretched out one hand and played with her hair for a bit. Then, gradually, she noticed that Ye Kehuan reached out and took the hand she had lying on the bed.

Ye Kehuan’s hands were warm, with a fascinating temperature, but at the same time, it was eager and flustered.

“You…” Jiang Laien looked up at her.

At that moment, Ye Kehuan just smiled, looked at her, and asked, “Is there really love at first sight in this world?”

Jiang Laien was shocked when she heard her words, and then said: “From a hormonal point of view, it exists. Because love originates from the secretion of hormones. And they will only appear when you meet the right person, a person you like. So, theoretically speaking, love at first sight exists, but strictly speaking, a long-lasting love is relatively rare.”

“That seems to make sense. Otherwise, why are you saying that if you want to like them, you already liked them, so how could you wait so long?’ Ye Kehuan nodded to the ceiling.

“Well, there are exceptions…” Jiang Laien continued.

Ye Kehuan turned her head and looked at her again: “Of course there are exceptions.”

Jiang Laien looked at her, and inexplicably, she felt that a little sweat was leaking from the palm of her hands. Ye Kehuan’s eyes were ambiguous and scorching, which would always make her want to fall.

Jiang Laien’s complexion was ruddy at that time, her lips were full, and she looked beautiful. Looking at her in that way, Ye Kehuan’s throat gradually began to dry out without her realizing it. How long had it been? How long had she not tasted her? Ye Kehuan looked at Jiang Laien’s face, only to feel that there was a certain kind of restless sentiment flowing in blood and through her body at that time.

It had been more than 20 days since the shooting began. She hadn’t touched her for more than 20 days. At that time, Ye Kehuan was like a starving traveler walking in the desert under the scorching sun. She really wanted to touch her, but there were cameras all around, and she couldn’t do anything at all.

Gently stroking Jiang Laien’s hand under the quilt, Ye Kehuan gulped, and her voice was a little hoarse: “It’s not too early now, it’s time to go to sleep.”

Jiang Laien looked up when she heard her words, and finally nodded: “Yeah.”

Reaching out and turning the light off, the two closed their eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

It was just that the two of them were only a little sleepy, and each had their own thoughts, and felt that the temperature in the quilt was steadily rising. Gradually, a thin layer of sweat floated on Jiang Laien’s forehead.

After an unknown amount of time, finally, the two people fell asleep.

After shooting two episodes there, the group rushed to a new city to continue shooting without stopping. At the same time, Fan Qiuyue and Ye Ling also dealt with their own affairs, and returned to the show to continue recording. In that way, because there were enough people, it seemed to be quite lively.

At the same time, after Ye Kehuan inquired about the ward where Yu Mei was staying, she ordered a bunch of flowers remotely and sent them to Yu Mei’s ward. Yu Mei, who was about to be discharged from the hospital and prepared to return to the program group to continue to participate on the show, and then try her best to brush up her sense of existence, received the bouquet of flowers, suddenly rolled her eyes and sneezed countless times, and collapsed onto the floor. There were small, dense pimples all over her body not long after, and painful tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, which caused the nurse to call the doctor in a hurry.

Yes, she was severely allergic to pollen.

If the person Yu Mei used to hate the most was Jiang Laien, then Jiang Laien was no longer at the top of her resentment list. Now, she really hated Ye Kehuan to death.

The last stop of the variety show was filmed in a city with a lot of ethnic customs and culture. The people there looked very energetic, the girls had clear eyes and were good at singing and dancing, and the boys were also full of enthusiasm.

After finally leaving the countryside and living in a luxury bed and breakfast, Ye Kehuan suddenly felt that such a place was much better than the countryside.

After putting down her things and turned around in the room, Ye Kehuan was like a child who had never seen the world before, her eyes gleaming.

“Look, mom, there are chairs with cushions!” Ye Kehuan picked up a chair and raised it above her head.

“Mom, look, Simmons!” Ye Kehuan rushed over and jumped onto the bed.

“Mom, look, there is air conditioning!” Ye Kehuan pointed upwards.

“Mom, look, there is a TV!” Ye Kehuan walked next to the color TV, put her hand on it, and struck a pose.

“Mom, look, hot water!” Ye Kehuan turned on the shower and cupped some water.

“Mom, look…”

Ye Ling looked dumbfounded, and finally folded her arms, shook her head, and sighed: “What have you experienced before?”

Ye Kehuan fell on the bed: “It’s nothing, there was nothing in the countryside. I seemed to have been about to become a primitive person. Suddenly seeing these things, I feel that I have entered modern society again, and I am very excited.”

“Isn’t the country fun?” Ye Ling opened her suitcase, sorted out her clothes one by one, and hung them in the closet.

“Fun is fun, but in comparison, I really like this place better.” Ye Kehuan said, walked over, and started tidying up her clothes.

“Well, hurry up and unpack, and when you’re done, we’ll go out for a stroll.” Ye Ling glanced at her, her eyebrows raised slightly.

In a moment, after unpacking all their luggage, the group went out together to visit the famous local attractions.

The first thing they went to was a very famous tropical park. The park was huge, and the tickets were quite cheap. After entering, the trees were luscious and there were many forked roads. It felt like a very beautiful picture.

In addition, there was a large lake with no head or tail. There were some small boats drifting on the surface of the lake. There were also girls in local costumes cleaning things by the lake, probably employed by the garden as staff.

“This place seems to be more beautiful than before.” Ye Ling suddenly said as she walked.

“Have you been here before?” Fan Qiuyue turned to look at her.

“Yes,” Ye Ling looked into the distance. “At that time, the scale was not as large and the tickets were even cheaper. I came with my now husband. We hadn’t fallen in love yet. Then, while we were walking here, my husband suddenly grabbed my hand.”

Ye Ling laughed at that point.

“Didn’t you chase him? He confessed first?” Ye Kehuan was a little surprised.

“Is there a problem?” Ye Ling gave her a look.

“No problem.” Ye Kehuan raised her eyebrows.

“Anyway, we were here to confirm the relationship. After confirming it, he asked me shyly if he could hold my hand.” Ye Ling looked at the lake with her arms folded, and shook her head with a smile.

“Sounds really interesting, so sweet.” Fan Qiuyue looked at Ye Ling. To be honest, she was quite envious of Ye Ling. She was very successful in her career, love, and family.

Ye Ling smiled after listening, “So, sure enough, sometimes it is important for people to stick to their own ideas.”

“Huh?” Fan Qiuyue didn’t understand why she suddenly talked about that.

“At the beginning, my parents wanted me to marry a very wealthy person who I didn’t like, but I finally refused,” Ye Ling smiled, “then I met my husband. It turned out that I didn’t have to obey. Only by chasing everything in your heart can you find happiness.”

After that, Ye Ling turned her head and looked at Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien, raised her eyebrows slightly, then lifted a hand and tapped the air: “This is the advice I will give you juniors, if you meet someone you like, remember not to give in to your surroundings, do not bow your head, and insist on pursuing your own happiness. Got it?”

After listening, Ye Kehuan was stunned, and then laughed: “Yeah!”

Jiang Laien also nodded slightly after looking at Ye Ling for a few seconds.

Fan Qiuyue was dumbstruck. Because she suddenly thought of herself.

In everyone’s opinion, she seemed to be perfect, but in fact, that was only her career. She was not very close to her children, and she had slept in separate rooms from her husband for many years. They said they were husband and wife, but they only existed as such in name only. She and Jiang Laien’s dad would only pretend to be close on important occasions, and otherwise would not mix river water and well water. Also, their marriage was arranged to start with, so where would they have built real feelings? 2

Thinking of that, Fan Qiuyue stared in front of her, raised her hand to tuck her hair, and sighed slowly: “Sister Ling is right.”

Ye Ling listened, looked at the lake, and then at the sky: “I want to eat fruit, how about you?”

“Okay! Let’s go!” Ye Kehuan was the first to agree.

Ye Ling looked at her daughter like a fool for a while, then shook her head, turned, and walked in a certain direction.

Jiang Laien walked next to Ye Kehuan, looking at Ye Ling’s back in front of her, and felt that she seemed to be suggesting something. Was it because of her?

Soon, the show was recorded amidst the laughter of a bonfire party.

After that, everyone boarded planes and returned to their lives.

Since Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien had no schedule in the near future and could rest for a few days, the two decided to return to their Morikawa City house for a few days before making other plans. After all, they just recorded a month-long program, and before that, they were filming. They hadn’t gotten serious rest for several months, and they were quite exhausted.

After two or three hours of turbulence, the plane finally landed. After the two people put on overcoats and retrieved their luggage, they walked to the side of the car.

While watching the driver put their luggage in the trunk, Jiang Laien couldn’t help yawning.

Ye Kehuan opened the car door and motioned for her to sit: “Are you sleepy?’

“Well,” Jiang Laien nodded, “a little bit.”

“You can have a good rest when we get back.” Ye Kehuan closed the car door, walked to the other side, and opened the other door and got in.

Probably because they had spent so long in Morikawa, even if it was not their birthplace, they still had a strong sense of belonging to it. As the car started, Ye Kehuan couldn’t help but sigh as she looked at the bright city passing by the windows. “We finally came home.”

“Yeah, I really rarely do such high-intensity work. Tomorrow, I will wake up naturally.” Jiang Laien stroked her neck and yawned.

Ye Kehuan smiled: “Okay, you can sleep as long as you want.”

After speaking, Ye Kehuan’s WeChat rang. She saw Chen Lulu sent her a picture. The picture was her newly released meme, which looked like a screenshot from the variety show. It was funny.

The corners of her lips were slightly lifted, and Ye Kehuan asked, “Are you still in Chongyuan now?”

“Yeah!” Chen Lulu responded in seconds.

Ye Kehuan thought for a moment, then continued to ask: “Then how are you and boss Ji now?”

Chen Lulu: “We’re friends, what else… But, I will definitely make her like me. At least she doesn’t dislike me now. That means it is still possible for her to like me, right?!”

Ye Kehuan shook her head and sent an ellipsis.

Chen Lulu was still continuing to send messages over: “By the way, I won’t talk to you anymore. Today is her birthday, and I am going to prepare a surprise for her now, goodbye!”

Ye Kehuan tilted her head, shook it, and finally opened Weibo.

With the release of the program, her fans on Weibo had also increased dramatically. Moreover, many people who were not prepared to watch the show, in the end, couldn’t help but start watching some of the CP animations between her and Jiang Laien.

Cheng Yan’s fans either stopped being so or stepped back. Many who believed that Cheng Yan was not a black lotus, and were dissatisfied with Ye Kehuan, still dared not say anything loudly.

However, some people still mocked Ye Kehuan, saying that she was an incompetent second generation rich. Every time she went on the hot search, it was never based on her acting skills or film and television works. She always relied on gossip news or variety shows. With her family background, she should just go and focus on variety shows, and not insult the word actor any further.

Moreover, there were quite a few such voices. Those who mocked her indeed stopped talking about her selling herself to bosses, but instead started to bring up her terrible acting. Many were eagerly awaiting her film “Black Bites” to be released, so they could pick her apart even further. In general, this group of people secretly hoped she would be terrible. That way, the director of public opinion would definitely change. After all, the heat brought by variety shows and her family background were temporary. In the end, only her skills would really speak.

Others suspected that the reason why Ye Kehuan became the heroine of “Black Bites” was because she paid for the character. After all, her family was so rich that it was impossible to be unable to afford that little money.

Ye Kehuan looked at the comments on the Internet, raised her hand, and stroked her lips.

She knew that someone would take those things as an example. Therefore, she didn’t want to expose her family history. However, Ye Kehuan also just glanced over it now. As long as people wanted to black her out, then no matter what she did, there would always be someone who had a reason.

In general, most people on the Internet liked her, and the discussion around her was even comparable to Jiang Laien, with most of them being positive.

Just as Ye Kehuan flipped through those things, her shoulder suddenly felt heavy. Turning her head, she saw Jiang Laien perched on her shoulder.

She fell asleep, but she kept touching her arm with her hand, and she looked a little cold. The temperature in Morikawa was still a bit low after all.

Ye Kehuan saw it, looked at the driver, and whispered, “Boss, please raise the temperature of the air conditioner.”

“Sure.” The driver nodded.

After Ye Kehuan retracted her gaze, she looked at Jiang Laien’s face again, only to think that she was really cute like that, and a smile accidentally dyed her lips.

At that time, in a hospital in Chongyuan.

Ji Changge, dressed in black, sat behind the doctor’s desk, quietly looking at the doctor who was studying her test report.

After a while, the doctor put down the examination report, folded his hands, placed them on the table, and looked at Ji Changge: “You have been undergoing this operation for three years, right… Your situation is not optimistic now. There are signs of recurrence and deterioration.”

After listening, Ji Changge let out a sigh, and suddenly smiled: “Really?”

“Yes, but you don’t have to worry too much. There is still a high chance that we can control it with chemotherapy.” The doctor looked at her.

After listening, Ji Changge let out another sigh, only feeling a little tired, and said with a smile: “I’ll think about it.”

The doctor furrowed his eyebrows, and pushed the examination report to her: “Just think about it. If the cancer cells metastasize too far, it will be even more difficult.”

Ji Changge nodded and put away the inspection report: “Then I’ll go first. Thanks for your hard work.”

After speaking, Ji Changge turned and walked out of the doctor’s office. The doctor looked at her back, pushed down his glasses, and sighed.

After leaving the hospital, Ji Changge folded the examination report, leaned against her motorcycle, looked at everything around her, and clasped her arms tightly. Had she finally reached the limit of the five-year survival rate? The doctor’s words sounded pretty good, but if she was the doctor, she would probably comfort people in that way. After all, he had to keep the patient optimistic, right? But was it really necessary to waste time on treatment?

She hadn’t explored all her options yet, but if the treatment was useless, wouldn’t she have hoped for nothing, and then leave with regrets? Moreover, in this life, she had not been very happy. Maybe it was better to die than to live, and once her eyes were closed, she would get rid of it once and for all.

It was just… Ji Changge picked up her phone, looked at the words ‘Chen Lulu’ on the contract list, put down her phone again, and closed her eyes. The way she was now, should she really let her stay close? Was she sure she wouldn’t just hurt her twice over in the future?

Putting on her helmet, Ji Changge rode her motorcycle and drove towards the river.

At the same time, in a high-end community in Chongyuan.

Chen Lulu was learning how to make a cake according to a recipe in a beige kitchen. Her hair was pulled casually, and her off-white sweater covered her thighs, making her legs slender and tight, which was extraordinarily sexy.

She was not very good at making desserts, but because Ji Changge said that when she was a child, she once cried because she didn’t get to eat a rainbow pony cake, so thought of making a rainbow pony cake for her. If she received it, she should be very happy, right? Thinking of that, Chen Lulu couldn’t help but bend her eyes with a smile.

Cakes were very difficult for Chen Lulu to make, and she couldn’t always grasp the details. Fortunately, she did it in the end. Looking at the round cake in front of her, Chen Lulu smiled so much that her eyes turned into crescent moons. Afterwards, Chen Lulu used a spatula to spread the whipped cream on the cake base little by little, and then put some edible materials in the middle to form a rainbow pony.

After finishing the rainbow pony, Chen Lulu squatted and looked at her, her smile too sweet for words.

Finally, Chen Lulu put the remaining cream into a piping bag, hummed a little song, and framed the cake in flowers.

“It’s so beautiful…” Chen Lulu picked up the cake, tilted her head for a while, and said to herself, “She should like it? She said that the thing she wanted to eat most when she was a child was cake. Even now, this obsession should be maintained while she grew up…”

Imagining the joyous expression Ji Changge might show when receiving the cake, Chen Lulu felt happy in her heart.

After packing it up, Chen Lulu washed her hands, trotted all the way back to her bedroom like a bird, opened her closet, chose a feminite white slim knit dress and brown jacket, put it on, and looked in the mirror. She raised her hand and compared it with a pair of scissors, then went back to the dressing table and sat down and started putting on makeup. After her ensemble was completed, the girl in the mirror was really charming and gentle, and even when she saw it herself, she was heartened.

After putting some lipstick in her bag, Chen Lulu checked the time, and immediately took her bag, picked up the cake, ran out the door, and went to the underground garage.

After getting into her car, Chen Lulu began to call Ji Changge. However, the phone rang until the phone was hung up, but no one answered.

Chen Lulu couldn’t help being a little dazed.

Was she busy? Or was her phone muted? Thinking about that, Chen Lulu called again, but the result was the same as before, and no one answered at all.

Chen Lulu didn’t give up and made another call, but at that time, a familiar female voice was heard inside. The voice said: “Hello, the phone you dialed is turned off.”

Slowly putting down her phone, Chen Lulu tightened her lips, staring at the steering wheel blankly. Why didn’t she answer her phone, and why did she shut it down? Was she bored of her? No, that shouldn’t be the case. Yesterday was fine. Yesterday she brought mouse traps to help her catch mice…

It should be because she was busy, so she didn’t answer her phone ,and then her phone automatically turned off when it ran out of power.

It should be like that. Thinking about that, Chen Lulu put down her mobile phone, drove her car out of the garage, and set off for the Four Seasons Grill.

However, when she arrived there, Chen Lulu discovered that the barbecue restaurant was not open that day.

Chen Lulu tightened her lips and called Ji Changge again, but it was still turned off.

Sighing, Chen Lulu drove her car to Ji Changge’s house. If she was not at her barbecue show, was she at home?

Arriving in the garage of Ji Changge’s community, Chen Lulu parked her car and jumped out with the cake, and walked quickly to the building where Ji Changge lived. The community was relatively old, but all kinds of facilities were quite complete.

Once she arrived at Ji Changge’s door, Chen Lulu reached out and knocked on it: “Changge!”

However, no matter how much Chen Lulu knocked, no one answered her at the door.

Finally, the next door over opened, and a middle-aged woman holding chopsticks poked her head out: “Are you looking for someone?”

Chen Lulu was stunned when she heard the voice coming from the house, and nodded: “Yes, I’m looking for the beautiful woman who lives here.”

The middle-aged woman raised her hand and stroked her nose: “She went out in the afternoon and may not be back.  You can call and ask.”

After listening, Chen Lulu was startled, and then bowed: “Okay, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” After the neighbor spoke, she closed the door again.

Seeing that the door was closed, Chen Lulu picked up her phone, put in Ji Changge’s number, pressed her lips tightly, and called her again. However, it was still shut down.

“Hey, where did you go…” Chen Lulu leaned back against the door, let out a sigh, and decided to wait for her.

However, there were no chairs there, and she was wearing high heels. Suddenly, her legs were numb, so Chen Lulu had to go downstairs and walk to the bench on the right side of the building exit and sat down with a white-haired old man, and chatted with him while waiting for Ji Changge to return.

The old man told her a lot of interesting things about when he was young, and Chen Lulu could always laugh at his stories.

That was until the old man talked about the death of his wife ten years before, and when the old man’s eyes went red, Chen Lulu couldn’t laugh. Although birth, old age, sickness, and death were all natural, it was still saddening.

The sky gradually darkened, and the people next to her on the bench changed a few times. Chen Lulu listened to many stories, and several hours passed. In an instant, it was ten o’clock in the evening. However, Chen Lulu still didn’t even see the shadow of Ji Changge. Her phone was still turned off.

Her legs were numb again. It was cold. Chen Lulu had to stand up, put the cake on the bench, and started stretching exercises under the street light. After she jumped up and down a few times, she finally felt a little warmer, but her feet were really uncomfortable. If it wasn’t for the fact that the ground was too cold, she really wanted to take off her shoes.

At that time, on the riverside.

Ji Changge stood up from a pavilion, walked slowly to the riverside, looked across the river, and finally let out a sigh and turned around. She returned to her motorcycle and went home.

After arriving at the garage and stopping, Ji Changge got off, put her hands in her coat pockets, and walked to the building where she lived.

However, after seeing Chen Lulu from a distance, Ji Changge couldn’t help but shrink her pupils and pause.

Then, when Chen Lulu turned around, Ji Changge instantly withdrew to the side, and turned her head halfway to listen to her movement. She didn’t know what she was doing then, she just felt that her mind was terribly messed up. At the same time, her chest cavity felt faintly stuffy, and the physical discomfort made her frown.

Turning around, Ji Changge went to another bench and sat down, staring in front of her with her eyes open, preparing for Chen Lulu to go in.

However, after waiting for an hour, Chen Lulu still didn’t show up. Ji Changge frowned, got up again, took a deep breath, and walked over there. Chen Lulu was sitting on the bench with her arms wrapped, shivering with cold, and even sneezed twice.

Closing her eyes, Ji Changge walked over quickly and stood still in front of her.

After realizing that there was someone standing in front of her, Chen Lulu opened her eyes dizzily, her gaze falling on a pair of Martin boots, and then gradually moved upwards, and saw that the extremely thin Ji Changge was standing in front of her at the moment, and she smiled instantly. She got up, her legs no longer sore, her body no longer cold, and her brain no longer throbbing. She dragged a toe across the ground: “You came back?!”

Ji Changge’s gaze shifted slightly as she got up, and then said: “You have been waiting for me?”

“Yeah!” Chen Lulu smiled, then hurriedly picked up the cake on the bench and gave it to her, “Changge, happy birthday, I wish you all the best, to be happy every day!”

“Ah thweet!” After speaking, Chen Lulu turned her head away and sneezed.

Ji Changge had no choice but to take the cake from her: “Thank you. Come with me.”

“Hey?” Chen Lulu was still a little dizzy.

“Come up and have some hot water.” Ji Changge pressed the elevator button.

“Okay!” Chen Lulu felt a fire in her blood, and trotted over to stand beside Ji Changge, and from time to time she secretly glanced at her profile.

After arriving in the room, Ji Changge put the cake on the coffee table, went to the tap and turned on the hot water, turned on the air conditioner, and closed the kitchen and bedroom doors. After a while, Ji Changge took off her jacket and threw it on the sofa, took another cup of hot water, and handed it to Chen Lulu: “Drink, slow down, don’t worry.”

“Yeah!” Chen Lulu nodded, holding the water glass.

Ji Changge watched her drinking the water, paced, and finally said: “Are you sure you have no other feelings towards me?”

As soon as she asked that, Chen Lulu choked on the water and coughed constantly.

“Why, why did you suddenly ask me that again? Today is your birthday. As a friend, can’t I give you a cake, right?” Chen Lulu smiled reluctantly, holding the water glass.

Ji Changge turned her head away: “I just wanted to check again.”

“Haha, confirm?” Chen Lulu suddenly laughed, “Why, are you so afraid of being liked by me?”

Ji Changge looked at the ground, and finally nodded silently.

After Chen Lulu saw her nodding, her eyes went red involuntarily, and her throat started choking up. After a while, she sniffled: “Really? You’re so scared? To you, am I a virus?”

Ji Changge turned her head and looked at her: “It has nothing to do with you. It’s just that I can’t give you the happiness you want. That’s why I have always emphasized that you shouldn’t spend your thoughts on me.”

Chen Lulu looked at her with a sigh of relief in her throat, her eyes filled with tears, and then, when the tears flowed out, she suddenly yelled out: “But I just like you, what can I do? I just like you! If I could find a way to forget you, why would I be stalking here?! Also, what does it mean that it’s impossible to give me the happiness that I want, what do you mean? I don’t like it, why is it impossible to give me happiness? Tell me clearly!”

Ji Changge looked at her, closed her eyes, then opened them again, fully bloodshot, and raised her finger to herself: “Because I’m **** sick, I can die anytime, do you understand that?!”

In an instant, the glass in Chen Lulu’s hand fell to the ground, and shattered to pieces.

“Wh, what…” Chen Lulu stood up incredulously and walked towards her, “What…”

“What can a dying person give you? What can you get? Tell me.” Ji Changge smirked.

Chen Lulu stared at her blankly, and then suddenly reached out her hand to cover her mouth, the tears in her eyes gathering more and more, and her shoulders trembled.

“Thinking about it, it’s scary, isn’t it? I’m scared. Do you dare to love me like this?” Ji Changge said, taking two steps backwards.

However, at that moment, Chen Lulu suddenly rushed up, wrapped her neck, pulled her head down, and handed her a kiss that was so hot it could burn people’s souls.
