The smile on Lin Luo Xue’s face stiffened noticeably: “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“You do. You understand better than anyone else!”
Zhou Sheng Chen chuckled lightly: “Lin Luo Xue, your smile is only genuine when you’re facing Bi Shi San. Other times, you might smile, but it’s more of a fake smile. Am I right?”
Lin Luo Xue could no longer maintain her smile.
Without the smile, her expression became somewhat cold: “Do you think you’re very smart? Do you think you can see through me at a glance?”
“No!” Zhou Sheng Chen shook his head and said seriously: “The human heart is the most complex thing. No one can truly see through someone else’s heart. I actually want to advise you, some things are better to let go of. That way, you’ll be happier.”
Lin Luo Xue looked deeply at Zhou Sheng Chen, then turned her head away, refusing to speak to him anymore.
“Don’t think you’re the only one suffering in the world!” Zhou Sheng Chen suddenly sighed, “My parents were both only children, and they both lost their parents.”
“And they’re both doctors, so they have to work until very late every night…”
Zhou Sheng Chen talked a lot, especially about what happened to him in this life.
Unconsciously, Lin Luo Xue was immersed in Zhou Sheng Chen’s story.
After a long time, Lin Luo Xue suddenly turned her head and looked at Zhou Sheng Chen with some sympathy: “So, your parents…”
“They passed away. It’s nothing to hide.”
Thinking about what happened in this life, Zhou Sheng Chen sighed, “I’m so miserable, I can let go of anything. What can’t you let go of?”
“People must move forward. As for the painful past, just forget about it. It’s not a big deal.”
“Not everyone can be as strong as you.” Lin Luo Xue lowered her head, her expression downcast, her tone melancholy.
Suddenly, she looked up at Zhou Sheng Chen, trying to force a smile: “Speaking of which, that outfit you’re wearing, it couldn’t really be bought by your girlfriend, could it? Are you really a kept man?”
Zhou Sheng Chen smiled: “The clothes were indeed bought by my girlfriend. As for being a kept man, that’s absolutely impossible.”
“Then can you tell me about your girlfriend?” Lin Luo Xue asked with a gossipy tone.
“Sure!” Zhou Sheng Chen smiled faintly, “Which girlfriend do you want to know about? The one from Korea, or the one from the US?”
Which girlfriend?
Korea? The US?
Lin Luo Xue’s face froze, and she asked in astonishment: “You have more than one girlfriend?”
“I’m so handsome, shouldn’t I have a few girlfriends?” Zhou Sheng Chen said with a matter-of-fact expression.
Lin Luo Xue twitched her lips slightly: “Then tell me about all of them.”
Zhou Sheng Chen then told her about his two current girlfriends.
The one from the US, needless to say, is Zhao Mo Sheng, who is still there now.
The girlfriend from Korea is a female star who exists in both this life and the previous life. Zhou Sheng Chen met her when he was fourteen years old, using his time-space ability to travel to their country.
They met for the first time in a high-end hotel, when she was drugged by a producer. Zhou Sheng Chen saved her, and later, he conquered her heart through his talent in music and other areas. As for their physical relationship, that came later.
While Zhou Sheng Chen and Lin Luo Xue were chatting, the sun slowly rose above the horizon, red like a blushing maiden veiled, finally revealing a smile.
A new day began.
———
The tenth day of military training: marching in the morning, practicing military boxing in the afternoon, and practicing singing military songs in the evening.
Apart from Bi Shi San going to the grocery store to fix the refrigerator for the owner and getting dumplings to eat, nothing unusual happened.
The eleventh day of military training: marching in the morning, practicing military boxing in the afternoon, and practicing singing military songs in the evening.
After the military training ended, Zhou Sheng Chen received a text message from Duan Jia Xu.
He said that the people in their dormitory needed duck legs and braised beef, and he hoped to buy some from Zhou Sheng Chen.
Zhou Sheng Chen readily agreed and took the opportunity to join their dormitory’s chat group, asking them to list what they needed so he could confirm if he could buy it.
The twelfth day of military training: things were still calm before the afternoon nap, but an accident happened during the nap.
Yu Hao sat on his bed with a face full of excitement, swinging his legs continuously, causing the bed to creak and rattle, disturbing everyone in the dormitory.
Xiao Hai Yang, Lu Qiao Chuan, and the others tried their best to persuade him, but he wouldn’t stop.
At that moment, Bi Shi San stood up like a hero. He pulled a wrench from under his bed and tightened the screws on Yu Hao’s bed, stopping the noise.
However, although the noise was gone, the vibration remained, which was a torment for Xiao Hai Yang, who was on the bunk below Yu Hao.
“Hao Ge, the stuff is here.”
Gu Yi Xin suddenly walked into the dormitory holding a white canvas bag and shouted to Yu Hao.
Hearing Gu Yi Xin’s voice, Yu Hao responded and quickly jumped off the bed.
Gu Yi Xin took a black plastic bag out of the canvas bag and handed it to Yu Hao.
Taking the plastic bag, Yu Hao looked at Xiao Hai Yang with a proud grin: “Xiao Hai Yang, I’m giving you one last chance, who’s the most beautiful person in this room?”
“You you you, from the moment you jumped off the bed, you’ve been the most beautiful person in the entire universe. May you be forever beautiful.” Xiao Hai Yang lay on his bed, answering with a deadpan expression.
Now, he just wanted to get a good night’s sleep. As long as Yu Hao didn’t continue to go back to bed and swing his legs, he would praise him however he wanted.
Yu Hao nodded in satisfaction, sniffing the black plastic bag in his hand, his face full of arrogance: “Magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the most beautiful person in the world?”
Yu Hao wanted his roommates to praise him,
but it was nap time, and everyone was drowsy and had no mood to pay attention to him, let alone the energy to answer Yu Hao’s question.
So, the scene became quite awkward for a while.
Luckily, Gu Yi Xin was quite smart and quickly chimed in: “Hao Ge! If you don’t eat soon, the hamburgers will get cold.”
“Hamburgers!”
“What hamburgers?”
“Did I hear wrong?”
“Are you talking about the kind of hamburgers we all know?”
In an instant, everyone except Zhou Sheng Chen and Bi Shi San got out of bed.
Then they saw that Yu Hao and Gu Yi Xin were each holding a bag, except Yu Hao’s was a black plastic bag, and Gu Yi Xin’s was a white canvas bag.
“What else?” Gu Yi Xin tilted her head, her face full of pride.
Then Gu Yi Xin walked to the location of Lu Qiao Chuan’s bed and took a bulging black plastic bag out of the white canvas bag, handing it to him: “Zhong Bai asked me to bring this to you and Ren Yi Fan.”
Lu Qiao Chuan was overjoyed. He took the bag, opened it, and took out a hamburger, immediately taking a bite.
Then he showed a happy expression, excitedly shouting: “Quack quack quack, it’s really meat!”
Zhou Sheng Chen was speechless.
He gave Lu Qiao Chuan two bags of dried fish every meal, which was also meat. Was he really that excited about a hamburger?
And that laugh, wasn’t it too demonic?
