Chapter 162 The Murderous Demon
The white full moon chased Jiang Shiyuan, she was so anxious that she didn't even notice people staring at her.
The car was parked in the garage. Jiang Shiyuan hoped that Pei Xiangwan might be sleeping and would not notice that she had been away for a while.
She had finally managed to coax Pei Xiangwan to sleep, and she also realized that Pei Xiangwan should know something. It didn't matter anymore, as long as she was herself.
"It's not good for Jiang Jiang to go out so late at night."
The voice frightened Jiang Shiyuan so much that she turned around and found that Pei Xiangwan was standing behind her without her knowing when.
"I thought I'd buy you some food to surprise you." She took out the snacks she had prepared and handed them to Pei Xiangwan. "Didn't you say you wanted some potato chips? I wasn't gone for long."
The snack bag was stuffed into Pei Xiangwan's arms. She believed everything Jiang Shiyuan said, so she didn't ask any more questions and just said, "Let's go together if it gets dark next time."
"It's really dark out there, will you get lost, Wanwan?"
Those words were like a gentle breeze brushing against Pei Xiangwan's ears, and she answered with certainty, "No."
Jiang Shiyuan smiled and said, "I hope so. Even if you hide, I can still find you."
…
The hot summer wind is also hot, but the temperature can never take away Chen Cheng's low mood.
"Are you really planning to give up?" Xia Li asked.
Chen Cheng had no idea about this question. She had liked Ling Wan for too long, and it was impossible for her to give up in a short time.
But those who are destined not to be together have no choice but to give up this path.
"Don't you think time is an eraser? It erases what you want to forget." As she spoke, the wind blew against her frail body, but her voice was powerful.
Xia Li couldn't understand her good friend at all. "How can it be completely wiped clean? It's just become lighter and fainter, but the traces are still there."
Chen Cheng looked at the blue sky without answering. After a long moment, she said, "Let's go. Stop slacking off on the rooftop. The workload has increased after a while of rest."
"Okay, okay, it was you who asked me to come up and talk to you." Xia Li and Chen Cheng behind him noticed something was wrong.
"Why do you suddenly like wearing blue so much? It's not because Ling Wan likes wearing blue too."
The light blue shirt made Chen Cheng look simple and clean. She agreed with Xia Li's words and never expected to run into Ling Wan.
She hoped those words would not be heard, not even by Ling Wan.
God always likes to play jokes on her. Before, she wanted to meet Ling Wan every day, standing not far away and looking at her lovely smiling eyes when she smiled, just like the warm sun shining on the flowers and plants, making them sway comfortably.
This was the feeling Ling Wan gave Chen Cheng, a gentle, comfortable little sun, and now a bright white moon.
"Sister Ling, you like coming here too." Xia Li said, trying to break the awkwardness.
Ling Wan curled her lips slightly and looked at Chen Cheng who didn't want to look at her. "I like this... I like it very much."
There was a void in her heart, and going to the rooftop could relieve it. Every time she came there, the image of Chen Cheng jumping around and making her laugh would appear in front of her eyes, as if it happened yesterday.
"Then Sister Ling, have a good rest. I'm leaving first." Chen Cheng said indifferently and left. Xia Li followed closely behind.
"Goodbye, Sister Ling."
The wind had become biting without her knowing. Ling Wan stood there in a daze. Her clothes were very blue, bluer than the sky and darker than Chen Cheng's.
"It seems there's no point in running away." She didn't see through her feelings for Chen Cheng, and only after losing him did she realize it was too late.
…
The night sky was filled with stars, but Chen Cheng was still busy. The main reason was that Jiang Shiyuan had given him so much, so he felt that working overtime was worth it.
The benefits that Jiang Shiyuan provides to old employees are really amazing.
The desk was covered with documents, and the computer displayed a bunch of garbled characters. She flipped through the documents, blocking out the sound of her high heels.
"Have you... eaten?" Thousands of words turned into a greeting, and the hand holding the lunch box tightened unconsciously.
Chen Cheng raised her head when she heard the voice. Sitting in front of the computer for a long time would make her eyes a little tired, so she habitually wore glasses to work, which washed away her childishness.
She couldn't help but be surprised. Ling Wan's appearance so late at night made her feel mixed emotions, happy and sad.
"Are you here to care about me, whom you treat as your sister? If you don't eat actively, how will you have the energy to work?" She raised her chin and pointed to the table where a half-eaten hamburger was placed.
She thought about saying harsh words, angry words, letting Ling Wan know that the pain of having her heart broken that night was far greater than the slap on the cheek, but when it really happened in front of her, she couldn't say it.
Chen Cheng lowered her head to look for information and no longer looked at the face that made her heart beat fast.
"I'm here to show my concern for Chen Cheng." She took a brave step forward and placed the lunch box on the table. "Have some food. There's your favorite tomato scrambled eggs."
Chen Cheng was as stiff as a stone statue, as if under a spell. She slowly uttered the words, "Why are you doing this? Do you want to give hope and then extinguish it again? Ling Wan, have you forgotten what you said before? Do you want me to repeat it?"
The document had many more wrinkles due to her excitement. "Let yourself go. You don't have to feel guilty about this. It was me who wanted to like you, and it was me who did something excessive first. You are a good person, there is no doubt about that. I just hope..."
Her voice gradually lowered. "I just hope you won't misunderstand my concern anymore, otherwise I won't be able to convince myself."
After a long silence, Ling Wan said, "It's not concern that could be misunderstood. I couldn't see clearly at that time. I've never liked girls, but I'm not against them either. I was used to having you by my side. I thought I liked having a friend who could accompany me. At this point, I don't have any friends I can confide in."
Ling Wan's eyes never left Chen Cheng's profile. "That's why I think you're a friend worth making friends with. It'll take time to figure all this out, Chen Cheng. My career isn't going well for me, so I get scared and wrap myself up in layers."
She pinched Chen Cheng's chin and made him look at her. "Don't stay away from me. I see through it. I will make up for the hurt I've caused you and move on with you as a complete you and me."

Chuanshuju
All kinds of species sat in front of the floating screens, including those with animal heads and human bodies, electrical appliances and robots, fruits and vegetables, and of course, those that looked no different from humans.
"09, haven't you found the books for the area you are responsible for? You know that the slower the progress, the greater the danger. Even if you change the time and space back to its original state and stabilize Jiang Shiyuan, the error rate of the books is the highest in history." As he spoke, he turned and faced 09.
He has a complete body, but no face, yet he can wear the black hat steadily.
"Your changes are a bit outrageous. Jiang Shiyuan is not some innocent, love-brained girl. She killed that book thief several times. Readers have complained that the changes are outrageous. You changed the murderous villain into someone who jumped off a building out of grief after seeing her best friend having an affair with a stranger. Do you think that's reasonable?"
09 snapped his fingers and pointed at the screen and said, "It's only melodramatic that makes it interesting, just like Temptation of Going Home, and the ratings keep going up. Even if I changed Jiang Shiyuan, he still loves killing people, so it's the same as not changing it."
