Jiang Yang listened to Shen Yan's words, but he didn't think so in his heart. When he learned about this from his mother, he felt very uncomfortable. Chen Yu hadn't brought it up herself.

But thinking about it, it's understandable; this is indeed not something that's easy to bring up.

Jiang Yang looked at Chen Yu and Wang Yue. Chen Yu's face was expressionless, while Wang Yue's emotions were relatively agitated.

Even though it was Chen Yu who had the accident, Wang Yue looked more like the one who had been in trouble, so Chen Yu had to comfort her.

Shen Yan touched his pockets and found them empty. Ever since he came back that day to deal with this matter, he felt like he had become addicted to nicotine, and he felt that only cigarettes could stabilize his emotions.

He turned his head, gesturing to Jiang Yang whether he wanted to go out.

Jiang Yang nodded, and the two went out one after the other. Jiang Yang specifically sent a message to Wang Yue, asking her to keep an eye on Chen Yu.

The two arrived at the convenience store, and Shen Yan picked out the pack of cigarettes that Wang Qi had bought for him earlier.

He bought everything from memory, but when he heard the price, he was slightly discouraged; a pack cost nearly 50 yuan.

For a moment, he completely forgot about Wang Qi's family background. "Boss, can I get a different pack?"

"No need to change, just lotus flowers, take out two."

Jiang Yang stopped the shopkeeper from withdrawing his hand and bought two of them for Shen Yan in a very domineering manner.

"Jiang Yang, what are you doing?"

"I'm not doing anything with it. I'll just take it home and keep it safe. I can help with the money, but I really can't help with the labor."

Jiang Yang felt a pang of resentment at his own incompetence. His parents' business had remained the same size for so many years, without any significant expansion.

But he did achieve some small successes, and Jiang Yang was able to live a comfortable life.

Shen Yan hesitated and still wanted Jiang Yang to return the cigarettes on the way, but Jiang Yang's attitude was very firm.

He opened a package and gave one to Chen Yan, saying, "This package is mine."

Shen Yan stared blankly at the cigarette in his hand, then turned his head to look at Jiang Yang.

Chen Yu is really good at making friends; she only befriends people who will be there for her in crucial moments.

Jiang Yang patted Chen Yan on the back, "I don't know how to comfort you and Chen Yu. Sigh, am I really useless?"

"It's okay, nobody wants something like this to happen."

Shen Yan exhaled a puff of smoke. Now he even began to think that Chen Yu would have to suffer in the days to come.

At home.

Wang Yue combed Chen Yu's hair, sobbing as she did so; Chen Yu's hair was already a complete mess.

"Chen Yu, you must cheer up, okay? Your aunt and uncle don't want to see you like this."

Hearing Wang Yue's words, Chen Yu's tears flowed involuntarily. "I don't understand why they're keeping me here like this."

"Perhaps the uncles and aunts also have their own concerns."

Chen Yu didn't speak, but stared blankly out the window, feeling unmotivated to do anything.

She felt her life had become bleak and hopeless. She frantically reflected on herself, thinking that if she hadn't come back, maybe nothing would have happened.

She didn't quite understand why it had to be this way.

Chen Yu's mindset became distorted. She suddenly wondered if she could go back to the past if she died again.

Jiang Yang and Shen Yan bought some food and came back. After they finished eating, they didn't stay any longer, because they couldn't bear to see Chen Yu like this.

On the way home.

Wang Yue suggested that she take Chen Yu out for a walk.

"With final exams approaching, have you forgotten how much responsibility you have on your shoulders?"

Jiang Yang frowned as he looked at Wang Yue. At school, she was busy with homework and clubs every day and had no time to rest.

"Yes, I know, but I still want to take some time to go out with Chen Yu. I think she's acting really strange."

“Shen Yan is also suspicious. I suspect he wants to drop out of school to work and support Chen Yu.”

"Why? You can work while you're in school."

"His situation is different now. He's both the older brother and Chen Yu's boyfriend. Part-time jobs alone can't possibly cover both of their tuition fees, plus their monthly living expenses. Even if Chen Yu's parents left some money, could they live off that for a lifetime? Besides, given what's happened to their family, they'll probably have to pay compensation. I heard that from my dad..."

Jiang Yang blurted out his thoughts, explaining that he had discovered this after talking with Shen Yan.

Wang Yue was surprised that Jiang Yang could think about so many things in detail; he really has grown up and become different.

"Shen Yan was always the best student; now that he's dropped out, isn't that a waste..."

"Yes, that's what I thought too, but Shen Yan didn't give me a chance to say anything."

Jiang Yang and Wang Yue parted ways at the interchange, each with their own ulterior motives.

Huang Xiaoni thought about it again and again. This problem had been bothering her and Li Ke'er for many days, and she still wanted to ask Chen Yu what was wrong.

I also heard that Jiang Yang went back, which proves that this matter is not insignificant at all.

Jiang Yang hesitated for a moment, but still chose not to say anything. Who was Huang Xiaoni? He could definitely find out what she wanted to know.

She received a message from her father, and looking at the words on it, she realized for the first time that words could hurt people.

Huang Xiaoni immediately returned the call and they communicated over the phone.

"Nini, is this your classmate? Why are you suddenly concerned about this?"

“This is my roommate. I’ve mentioned her to you and your mom, but she won’t tell us what happened.”

“Nini, don’t worry about this, but if your roommate needs help, remember to do your research before you help.”

"Okay, Dad. I'll hang up now."
