Part Three, Chapter 62: Pursuit of 19

on. She felt lucky that her mother was hospitalized and couldn't see Wenjian, so she wouldn't have to be stimulated anymore. Her father died, and these things had nowhere to vent. There was no one to...The night breeze was intoxicating. She thought, perhaps they were all fools, just holding each other like this, without words, without further action, and their hearts were full. 。After a long while, Song Jingye finally helped her stand up straight. He looked down, she looked up, and they met each other's gaze. There were smiles on both their faces, both of them rather foolish, just knowing how to smile foolishly 。

“I'll send you up” 。He cleared his throat and, carrying her backpack, walked alongside her toward the apartment door. 。Taking the elevator upstairs, at her doorstep, Chen Ling was caught in a battle of thoughts. Should she invite him in for a sit Would it lead to misunderstandings Or was she secretly hoping for something to happen Was now the right timeBut before she could figure it out, he made the decision for her, handing her his backpack. "Come in," 。He stood outside the door, looking at her. There was no playing hard to get, just honesty in his gaze. 。Chen Ning understood, at this moment calmness was the best way to handle things. They had been intimate once, and in the confusion that followed, it took a long time to repair the aftereffects. 。So if there's any further intimacy, it has to be clear and definite, mutually understood, not just the primal hormonal attraction between a man and a woman. 。So she took back her backpack, hummed softly in acknowledgement, went back to her room, closed the door, didn't even bother changing out of her shoes, and ran to the window to wait for his shadow to appear. 。Soon, his dark shadow appeared beside the mountain bike downstairs, and he looked up at her window, waving to her. 。Actually, she had forgotten to turn on the light, he couldn't see her upstairs at all, but somehow they were in sync, knowing she would be standing by the window. 。

Chen Ning quietly waved to him, thinking in her heart, "Uncle, see you tomorrow." 。That night, she fell asleep with beautiful dreams in her arms. 。I got up early the next day and went to work. I hadn't worked for two weeks of training, and a lot was on my mind. 。From afar, I saw Xu Haichen's car parked by the roadside. She stepped out of the car and parked her shared bike. Then she walked over to greet me and prepared to go to the canteen for breakfast together. 。As I got closer, I realized there was another black sedan parked behind his car. A man got out of the sedan and walked towards Xu Haichen. 。Xu Haichen hesitated for a moment, standing still. 。

Chen Ning's intuition told her something was about to happen. She wanted to step forward, but it was too late. The man had already walked up to Xu Haichen. He was cold and silent, not saying a word, he just punched Xu Haichen in the face. 。Xú Hǎochén did not resist, his mouth bleeding a little, looking rather miserable. 。The man grabbed his collar again, "You know your sister isn't well, and you still scare her like that" 。Chen Ning wanted to step in and stop him, but when she heard this, she guessed it was Xu Haochen's brother-in-law from before, so she stopped. 。Xú Hàochén was as polite and calm as usual: "This is between me and my sister, it has nothing to do with you." 。" Xu Haichen, you're not a child anymore. " 。The man's voice had an undeniable sense of pressure. Chen Ning only looked at him seriously now, and he was a man who was not only handsome but also very charismatic. 。She's met a lot of bigwigs, but none quite like him. If she had to describe it, it would be like the aura of someone raised in a wealthy family you see in old Hong Kong dramas. 。

It exudes the aura of a prosperous and grand aristocratic family.

After saying that, he let go of Xu Haichen, without looking at him again, and walked straight towards the black sedan. A man in a driver's uniform standing beside him opened the back door for him, and then the car drove away. 。Chen Ning stood beside Xu Haichen. She didn't intend to pry into other people's privacy; it just happened too quickly, before she could react. 。。Oh, there is 。Chen Ning hurriedly took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to him. 。Thank you 。He took it and pressed it against his slightly bruised lips. 。Here you go:

"This is for you" 。Chen Ling reached into her bag and pulled out a mask for him. 。At work, everyone pays close attention to appearances. The injury on the corner of his mouth clearly looks like a bruise and shouldn't be seen by others. 。

Thank you 。Xu Haichen smiled and put on a mask, revealing only his clear eyes. 。He might be the most emotionally controlled person she's ever met, if not for seeing it with her own eyes just now, no one would have guessed he had been beaten up. 。"Come on, as a thank you for the tissues and mask, I'll treat you to breakfast today." 。"Xu Haichen said, and took the lead forward." 。In that split second they parted, Chen Ling caught a glimpse of his furrowed brow. She couldn't tell if it was the pain from the wound at the corner of his lips or something else. 。She didn't know what had happened between him and the man just now, but she felt a pang of sympathy for him. Everyone has secrets they don't want to share with others, things they have to keep locked away in their hearts, digesting them silently. When facing the world, they always maintain an air of dignity. 。After both of them finished breakfast, people at the company started coming to work one after another. 。She returned to her department, opened her work WeChat, and a message popped up in their training group chat. It was the department leader announcing the results of the recent training program. 。Before training at the base, she had already achieved good results. Under the rigorous training of Song Jingye and Instructor Zhang and others this time, she passed all the assessments. So, she originally just wanted to browse the results casually, but Xu Haichen's name, which had always been ranked first with her, suddenly appeared at the very end, followed by the result: "Failed to pass the assessment". 。The only person who failed the assessment in this training campne. Now, standing at the defense table, her eyes are sharp and her voice is powerful, just like a female warrior who gives not an inch, fighting for every bit of ground.Lin Zhiyao continued to say“Shu...
