Chapter 171 Out of Control

When she looked at the messages sent to her from morning to night on her phone, she only responded with a few perfunctory words, and sometimes even nothing at all.

There is her profile picture in the Moments. When I click on it, I see a set of magnificent photos of desert sunset, with no captions.

One of the photos was probably taken by her friend and showed her profile.

She was wearing a black sprint top with the zipper pulled all the way up. The setting sun cast a golden glow on her fair cheeks, and her jawline was clearly visible, making her look noticeably thinner.

The rich colors of the setting sun turned her into a bright landscape in the desert. The woman's eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes drifted infinitely to the horizon. The emotions contained in them were too dense and complex.

Sheng Ting stared silently, with sparks exploding in his heart, burning him.

His first frost.

She is healing herself.

Seeing her like that, Sheng Ting felt so distressed.

At the same time, he engraved her current appearance in his memory with longing. It felt like he had not seen her for a long, long time.

It seems like a lifetime ago.

The longing came like a tide, and the alcohol amplified all the senses. Sheng Ting could no longer sit still.

After getting someone to send him away, Wei Yize shook his head as he looked at the wine that Sheng Ting had finished drinking, then turned to Zhao Jinzhou and said, "Why bother? He's in a bad mood and you're deliberately provoking him."

Zhao Jinzhou put away some of his distraction and said, "I am helping him. It is better to give him a strong dose than to simmer it slowly."

It must be no small matter that could make Sheng Ting like this.

——

As soon as he got home, Sheng Ting called Chu Shuang. No one answered the first call, so he continued calling and groped his way to the tea bar to get some water.

From this position, he could see the quiet garden through the huge one-way glass on the first floor. Street lights stretched along the path, and his eyes were focused on the persimmon tree in the distance.

I still remember that it was not long after they got married. He came home from get off work and went to the back garden to find Chushuang for dinner. She looked so honest and sincere when she was hiding in the persimmon tree.

She picked a lot of persimmons that day and said she wanted to make persimmon cakes for him.

Oh, and persimmon cakes.

She made a lot in the winter and kept the uneaten ones in the refrigerator.

Thinking of this, Sheng Ting suddenly wanted to eat the persimmon cakes she made. He took out two and took the first bite. The soft, glutinous and sweet taste of the persimmon cakes spread on his taste buds.

It’s a very reassuring taste.

I continued to call her, and after the phone rang for a long time, someone finally answered.

"Hello?"

“Bubble…”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the man said in a harsh voice, "I miss you so much."

Chushuang looked at the time and it was two o'clock in the morning.

The ringing sound that woke her up from her sleep was from him, and from the sound...

"Have you been drinking?"

Sheng Ting: "I drank a little with Zhao Jinzhou and the others tonight, but now I'm home. What are you doing?"

"sleep."

"Oh... sorry for waking you up." The man's voice was deep, and his articulation was obviously not as clear as usual. "When will you be back?"

Hatsushimo supported his forehead, "You asked this question just yesterday."

"But you didn't say a specific date. I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time. I feel very uncomfortable..."

"I've never been so scared before. This feeling is so strange and it's almost swallowing me up. Baby, I really know I was wrong. Can you give me a chance? I'll listen to you and won't make you angry again. You can punish me and scold me however you want when you come back. Don't hide from me. Don't...don't want me..."

If I was still a little sleepy when the first frost came, I was now fully awake.

Sheng Ting’s current state is very...helpless.

Yes, this word had never occurred to her to describe him before. It was completely different from his previous image.

But that's the emotion he's showing now.

How much did he drink?

Thinking of what he might look like now, Chu Shuang sat up against the pillow, her tone slowing down without her noticing, "Don't think too much. Just have a good sleep after drinking."

"I just came back and saw many couples on the way, but I was the only one without my wife." Sheng Ting sighed, "This is the first time I feel jealous."

After a pause, he whispered, "No, it's the second time."

Hatsushimo glanced sideways, "When was the first time?"

"When I knew you were in love, you didn't know me at that time. I was very unhappy when I heard what An Jingyu said. At that time, I thought that this unhappiness was simply because I was afraid that you would be deceived. It was a long time after I married you that I realized that the unhappiness at that time was actually jealousy.

I know it was An Jingyu who suggested that you have a relationship, which might help with your treatment, but that Gu Sui is not worthy of you. I checked him out privately, and he is not sincere in his relationship. You will get hurt sooner or later if you follow him. Later, I secretly set him up with a plan to travel for business every other day to discuss cooperation, not giving him time to get close to you, and letting his ex-girlfriends know about your existence... I know you were upset during that time, and in order to vent your anger, I let Zhao Jinzhou steal his business."

Chu Shuang was stunned for a while.

It turns out that Sheng Ting knew about her and Gu Sui's relationship from the beginning. And Sheng Ting was the one who caused their breakup.

She thought that Sheng Ting had always been there all those years when he couldn't see her.

After breaking up with Gu Sui, she signed with Sheng's company and went to the capital. It seemed like such a coincidence at the time, wasn't it...

Thinking of this, Chu Shuang asked: "Then I will go to the imperial capital later..."

"It was me too. I asked the editor-in-chief of Kite Animation to extend an olive branch to you and asked you to leave Xiangcheng and come to the imperial capital on your own initiative."
