"Cheng Yiyi, don't be afraid! Come on up, this angle is amazing for taking pictures!"
Meng Lianyun climbed up the artificial hill and reached out to pull Cheng Yiyi.
When Cheng Yiyi went up, he carefully protected her, a tenderness that Xi Chen had never seen before.
In order to take a good photo of Cheng Yiyi, Meng Lianyun even knelt down on one knee in a very comical posture.
This was a treatment Xi Chen had never received before.
As Xi Chen watched, her eyes reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She was indeed with Meng Lianyun for her father's sake, but that doesn't mean she wasn't sincere.
She knew that Meng Lianyun changed women as easily as he changed clothes, and she accepted that she could become his ex-girlfriend at any time, but she couldn't accept that Meng Lianyun had really fallen in love with another woman.
If he treated Cheng Yiyi the same way he treated his previous women, Xi Chen might sympathize with her, but it's clear that Meng Lianyun's attitude towards Cheng Yiyi is different.
Even from a distance, Xi Chen could feel how intense his gaze was towards Cheng Yiyi.
Xi Chen clenched her hands tightly, trying hard to hold back her tears.
"Xi Chen, are you...are you alright?"
Xi Chen's roommate tried to comfort her, but it was no use.
Xi Chen gritted her teeth and dialed Meng Lianyun's number.
After receiving Xi Chen's call, Meng Lianyun remembered her and immediately answered the call:
"What's up?"
Xi Chen tried hard to suppress her sobs as she spoke:
"Where...where are you?"
"Spending time with a little girl at the amusement park." Meng Lianyun made no attempt to hide his actions.
Xi Chen couldn't hold back her tears and burst into sobs.
"Meng Lianyun, have you forgotten that I'm still your girlfriend?!"
"We haven't broken up yet, and you're already openly pursuing other girls. Aren't you going too far?!"
Faced with Xi Chen's rebuke, Meng Lianyun simply smiled heartlessly:
“Xi Chen, we were originally brought together by a deal. Your father has already gone back, so our deal is over.”
"Or are you not satisfied and really want to be Mrs. Meng?" Meng Lianyun's tone was laced with sarcasm.
"Meng Lianyun, you bastard!" Xi Chen roared in anger.
"We've been together for so long, do you really have absolutely no sincerity towards me?"
Meng Lianyun's lips curled into a mocking smile:
"Girl, you can't have it all. You're being too greedy!"
"Because of what your father did, I never had any real feelings for you in the first place. I was only with you because I pitied you and wanted to give you a chance to save your father."
After saying that, Meng Lianyun hung up the phone and blocked Xi Chen's contact information.
After he finished doing everything, he looked up and saw Cheng Yiyi's puzzled look.
"Was it your girlfriend who called you?"
Meng Lianyun: "I don't have a girlfriend."
"Then who is the girl who was with you that day?" Cheng Yiyi asked.
Meng Lianyun: "At most, she's just a bed partner. I have so many women around me, how can I consider them all my girlfriends?"
Hearing this, Cheng Yiyi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing her strange expression, Meng Lianyun couldn't help but find it amusing:
"What? You think I'm dirty?"
Cheng Yiyi nodded honestly: "A little."
Meng Lianyun wasn't angry; instead, he nodded in agreement.
"I think so too, but don't worry, I don't have any sexually transmitted diseases and I won't infect anyone."
"With so many girls around you, isn't there a single one you could consider your girlfriend?" Cheng Yiyi asked curiously.
Meng Lianyun shrugged: "No."
"I'm probably just naturally cold-hearted. Besides, those women aren't after me as a person, but rather the benefits I bring them. Once the benefits are gone, they'll leave. Giving my heart will only hurt both myself and others."
Cheng Yiyi sighed, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Meng Lianyun, her eyes filled with sympathy:
"Looks like being a young master isn't so enjoyable after all!"
Meng Lianyun: "Who said that! I'm having a great time being a young master! At least I've never had to worry about food or clothing since I was a child, and I've lived a much richer life than most people."
Cheng Yiyi nodded: "That's true! In everything, there are gains and losses."
"Just like me, an ordinary person, although my life isn't as good as yours, I'm free to choose the people and life I like."
Meng Lianyun scoffed: "Without money, where does the freedom of choice come from?"
Cheng Yiyi: "Isn't it enough to not covet things that don't belong to you?"
Meng Lianyun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "You're really optimistic!"
"Alright! Enough talk, go have fun. Every minute you waste is disrespectful to your money."
As she spoke, Cheng Yiyi happily ran towards the giant pendulum swing in front of her.
Meng Lianyun then chased after them.
Outside the amusement park, Xi Chen squatted down, hugged herself, and cried her heart out.
The three roommates tried to persuade him for a long time, but to no avail; they could only stand there helplessly.
After a while, they got tired of waiting and all took taxis and left.
Xi Chen was left alone, immersed in her grief.
However, before she could finish crying, her phone rang.
She thought it was Meng Lianyun calling, so she quickly picked it up, but the caller ID showed it was her father.
Xi Chen wiped away her tears and calmed herself down before answering the phone:
"Hey, Dad, what's wrong?"
"Chenchen, how are things between you and Young Master Meng? Dad is penniless now. Talk to Young Master Meng and ask him to at least give us some money to keep us alive!"
At this point, Xi Chen's tears flowed involuntarily again:
"Dad, Meng Lianyun and I have broken up."
"Break up?? How can you break up? Did you upset him? Go apologize right now, beg him, please don't break up!"
Upon hearing this, Xi Chen was furious:
"Dad! Wake up! Meng Lianyun doesn't like me at all. It was just a transaction between us!"
"I will never beg him again!"
Xi Chen hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking. When the other end called again, she hung up immediately.
Overwhelmed with grief, Xi Chen went to a bar to drown her sorrows.
In the dead of night, a girl got completely drunk and quickly became someone's target.
The next morning, when she sobered up, she was already lying in the hotel.
She was completely naked, and the marks she left behind told her what had happened the night before.
She didn't even know who the other person was; she only saw a note left on the bedside table:
Welcome to the world of people living with HIV/AIDS!
After the initial shock, panic spread.
She hurriedly dressed, trembling, and went to the hospital for a checkup, only to find that her bank card had been frozen and she didn't even have the money to register.
Xi Chen hurriedly contacted all the friends and roommates she could reach, but after learning what her father had done and that Meng Lianyun had broken up with her, no one was willing to lend her money.
Left with no other option, she took a taxi home, intending to retrieve her gold jewelry and sell it.
But this back-and-forth has caused us to miss the best time to control the situation.
Although Xi Chen was given post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) medication, the fear of AIDS tormented her day and night.
Just then, she saw Meng Lianyun and Cheng Yiyi.
