She remembered that she still had those novels in her dormitory and that she wanted to take them back to the Zhuang family’s residence when she had time. Those were all her prized possessions.
Cen Shuang suddenly thought, “Why haven’t I seen Senior Li around recently?”
Li Jun seemed to have disappeared into thin air, or he had deliberately avoided her for the past few days. Whenever she was on campus, Cen Shuang would not see him. Even if she saw him in the corridor, he would walk away from her with a look of indifference.
Mu Sensen sighed. “After you guys finished the posters and the school bus drawing, I didn’t see him around either. I heard that he has switched from art to fencing.”
He was so classy and refined, but he had chosen to give up on arts and go for martial arts.
Cen Shuang was also surprised. She did not expect Li Jun to like physical activities such as martial arts. She had thought that a boy like him would only like to draw and play the piano.
Mu Sensen thought, “Could it be that the school’s anniversary is coming up next month? I know this because I have to perform at the school’s anniversary event.”
Cen Shuang nodded silently. She also thought that it could be the case.
After Zhuang Hong woke up, his body did not recover very quickly. Instead, he seemed particularly weak. He even caught a cold. Cen Shuang took care of him and stayed by his side every day. Naturally, she got blamed for his illness. When Lan Yibai asked her to close the window at night, Cen Shuang already felt that her mother-in-law was blaming her. She opened the glass door on the balcony at night and that had caused Zhuang Hong to fall sick.
When she handed the medicine to Zhuang Hong, Cen Shuang’s attitude was especially angry. “Mom told you to take the medicine.”
Zhuang Hong took the cold medicine and met her glare. Immediately, he said with an inexplicable expression, “You’re angry when I’m sick. What logic is that?”
Even he himself found it funny and could not help but laugh when he looked at Cen Shuang. Cen Shuang felt a little stifled by his question. She snorted coldly and said, “Angry? I’m not angry. Your mother told me to close the window at night as if I’m the one who made you catch a cold. Who do you blame for your cold?”
She was curious. Was Zhuang Hong sick? His body was already so weak. Why would he take a
cold shower for no reason? Now that he was better, it was fine if he caught a cold. However, her mother-in-law would blame her for not taking good care of him.
Zhuang Hong looked at how aggressive she seemed. He held back his laughter and said, “I blame me.”
Cen Shuang pouted her little face and said, “It’s all your fault. Why should I close the window?” Zhuang Hong said helplessly, “Mom was just advising you out of kindness.”
Cen Shuang was furious that no one believed her. “Don’t lie to me. She just thinks that I’m not as meticulous in taking care of you as she is. She even thinks that I’m unreliable. To put it bluntly, she doesn’t trust me.”
Zhuang Hong was helpless. “Are mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law really natural enemies?”
He did not really believe this statement in the past, but now he did. Cen Shuang and Lan Yibai were at odds with each other. After he woke up, it became even more obvious.
Cen Shuang snorted. “Who said they were natural enemies? I’m not such a narrow-minded woman. ”
Zhuang Hong’s voice came from behind her, and she could hear the slight smile in his voice. “Yes, Mrs. Zhuang, you’re generous indeed.”
Cen Shuang quickly turned her head and looked at him suspiciously. “Why do I feel that you’re making fun of me?”
She was very sensitive about this. Zhuang Hong raised his eyebrows. “No, it’s just the truth.’
Cen Shuang looked at the man in front of her who was focusing his attention on the computer screen. “What are you thinking?”
Zhuang Hong replied without raising his head, “I’m thinking from the bottom of my heart. ” Cen Shuang said, “Who knows what you’re thinking from the bottom of your heart?!”
Cen Shuang’s understanding of Zhuang Hong was only limited to two things. He often spoke very casually, and when she was angry, he would patiently comfort her. He looked gentle and refined, but she had heard before that the Zhuang Hong in the business world was different. He was a ruthless and merciless ruler of a business empire who would never show mercy to anyone. Cen Shuang did not know if the person she knew and the person she heard of were the same person. However, she was not afraid of the current Zhuang Hong, aside from the ruthless version of him that had stabbed Zhuang Tinghao that night.
Zhuang Hong suddenly looked up. “It’s not easy to understand. Touch it yourself and you might understand.”
Before Cen Shuang could react, he grabbed her wrist and pressed her palm against his chest. The sound of his heart beating shook her palm.
The man’s deep black eyes became darker under the light. He asked in a hoarse voice, “Can you feel it?”
Cen Shuang saw the seriousness in his eyes. She pulled her hand back in a panic and said with a red face, “It’s beating so fast.”
Cen Shuang did not know whether she was talking about his heartbeat or her own heartbeat.
Zhuang Hong continued, “Do you believe what I said to you? If you can’t feel it clearly, I don’t suggest you listen carefully again.”
After Zhuang Hong finished speaking, he was about to go up and hug her. Cen Shuang was so frightened that she hurriedly got off the bed and grabbed a towel with a vigilant expression..
