Chapter 62: Clarity



It was a long night. After leaving the alley, Chen Tinghan still felt unrelieved. You Shenyu's car was parked on the side of the road. It was he who called her over.

Chen Tinghan never forgot that today was Li Zishan’s birthday.

After getting in the car, You Shenyu glanced at him, frowning uncontrollably. He threw the cigarette he had just lit out the window and said, "I have so many questions to ask you, but you look so dreadful, as if you're about to die. I really don't know what you're up to all day long."

Chen Tinghan sat in the passenger seat, his brow furrowed, looking exhausted. He said, "I really need to close my eyes. Let me rest for a few minutes. After we celebrate Shanshan's birthday tonight, I'll explain everything to you tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"

You Shenyu thought this was just a perfunctory gesture, and his brows furrowed with anger. He turned his head, only to hear him already asleep, snoring softly. He could only sigh helplessly, wondering what had bewitched him into agreeing to partner with him.

It’s too late to withdraw now. Some of the joint businesses have already been established, and money makes the world go round.

......

......

Deep in his dream, Chen Tinghan saw that woman. Her image was unpredictable. Sometimes she was young and beautiful, sometimes she was mature and beautiful, sometimes she was cold as ice, and sometimes she was passionate as fire.

Which one is the real her, and which one is she now?

Chen Tinghan couldn't understand. His thoughts hit a wall in the dream, but the dream continued, replaying the scene from his first life. At that time, he and Xu Jingwen were also chatting in the dormitory building, and they also saw Wang Jinling, who was dressed casually but beautifully under the light.

But the first time, he didn't have the courage to talk to her in public. The boy, in his second year of middle school, was very well behaved. He thought the girl remembered him, so he walked past her without saying a word, waiting for Wang Jinling to talk to him in anticipation.

Then Chen Tinghan waited for nothing.

Fortunately, he only believed that Wang Jinling was worthy of him putting aside his pride and taking the initiative.

Chen Tinghan walked to the door of the student union room and looked at the unreliable door, hesitating and wavering.

Just when he finally made up his mind in his dream, Chen Tinghan suddenly trembled and woke up.

Chen Tinghan wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed at himself silently. He might have subconsciously regretted opening that door at that time, regretted getting so close to that woman and sending himself into an irretrievable situation.

His eyes were still closed, and the unique scent of women's perfume and body fragrance drifted into his nostrils. He heard a slight noise around him, and he must have thought that You Shenyu had taken him to his destination.

Chen Tinghan asked, "How long have I slept?"

"One hour."

"......" Chen Tinghan said: "You didn't call me?"

"I can't wake a sleeping pig." You Shenyu said coldly, "Besides, it was almost time for the show to end when we got there."

"She's definitely going to blame me." Chen Tinghan said a little uncomfortably, "She missed the banquet and didn't even give her the gift I prepared for her."

He didn't notice that You Shenyu glanced at the back seat before saying, "You have endless excuses anyway."

"There's no reason. It's just me who's wrong. Everything is my fault."

Chen Tinghan was a little depressed, but he respected You Shenyu and still had to give the necessary explanation.

The right to know was the basis for her cooperation. Although now was not the right time, he tried to keep it short:

"I have no evidence to support my claim. If I ask you to believe it was a coincidence, will you believe it?"

"There's nothing wrong with believing it." Strangely, You Shenyu didn't seem to want his explanation anymore: "You are free to do whatever you want. I don't want an explanation after the fact."

Chen Tinghan closed his eyes and didn't see that she had any concerns. Seeing that she didn't pursue the matter, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I know you want to know beforehand."

You Shenyu said stiffly: "Just don't harm us."

Chen Tinghan said: "The only thing I can promise you is that I will never harm you."

You Shenyu remained unmoved. With a hint of meaning, she said calmly, "Save your cunning thoughts. I'm not one of those silly girls in your school who can be fooled by a few words."

Chen Tinghan couldn't help but laugh: "I can only say this to you. If it were at school, there are some things I can't even say if they were torn into my mouth."

Then, he said with some seriousness, "You can rest assured. If one day you have to choose between me and Li Zishan to die, it will definitely be me."

Then the car fell into a long silence.

After expressing his loyalty, Chen Tinghan did not get a response, which made him feel strange. He opened his eyes and saw her inexplicably gripping the steering wheel with a dark face.

He wanted to ask what was wrong, but he swallowed the words back because he saw Li Zishan sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

The little girl also looked in the rearview mirror, looked at him, blinking her eyes and raising the corners of her mouth.

His vision went dark, and he thought he must be too tired and hallucinating.

No, I have to make up for it and make things sound smooth.

After a long silence, Chen Tinghan suddenly laughed and said, "Are you touched? I've already told you that I'll pick something nice to say."

"You're crazy." Li Zishan rolled his eyes and said, "If you have something to say, just tell me directly. It's not like your birthday only comes once in a lifetime. I don't have to come."

"I thought I could handle it, but I overestimated my energy. I didn't expect to fall asleep right in the car, sleeping for an hour at a time." Chen Tinghan joked calmly, "I prepared a gift for you, but it seems I can only give it to you tomorrow."
