Chapter 375: Keep some dignity for yourself

Jiang Mian was sitting next to Huo Ning when her cell phone suddenly rang.

She lowered her head and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

It was a message Zhou Siqi sent her!

【Si Qi: Jiang Mian, where are you now? 】

Jiang Mian's fingers felt as if they had been touched by electricity. Suddenly they felt numb and weak.

She lowered her head, a smirk crossing her lips.

She and Zhou Siqi grew up together. Although they can't be said to have a very good relationship, they are inseparable.

Because she was in poor health, Zhou Siqi always took extra care of her.

When she couldn't learn anything and always ranked last in exams, Zhou Siqi would come forward and patiently comfort her, telling her to just try harder next time.

If every girl has a person who is out of reach in her youth, Zhou Siqi is the heart-pounding person that Jiang Mian dare not express.

My sweetheart is as dazzling as the moon in the sky.

But she is small and ordinary, just an insignificant grain of sand in this world.

How could a good-for-nothing like her dare to covet Zhou Siqi, who was good in every way?

She never dared to miss Zhou Siqi's message, and never dared not to reply immediately.

The same is true this time.

[Jiang Mian: I'm outside. What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?]

Zhou Siqi over there seemed to have disappeared suddenly.

It took him a long while to reply to her message.

【Si Qi: Nothing much, it’s just that we haven’t seen each other for a long time. How are you doing now? 】

Jiang Mian didn't know why he suddenly asked this.

But she was still happy that he was willing to care about her.

[Jiang Mian: I'm fine. I'm happy every day. I feel like I'm feeling better. If I can recover, I'll come and play with you!]

There was another long silence.

Jiang Mian stared at the camera, eagerly waiting for his reply.

Zhou Siqi was always like this when chatting with her. Sometimes he would disappear just after he finished talking.

But Jiang Mian checked and found out that this is Zhou Siqi’s zodiac sign!

After waiting for a long time, Zhou Siqi's message came again.

[Si Qi: I went on a trip and just returned to Beijing yesterday. Do you want to go out with me? It's snowing in Beijing these days. The snow is beautiful. We can go and see it together.]

Jiang Mian really wanted to agree.

But when she looked at her body, her face froze.

She has been in poor health all year round and is afraid of both heat and cold.

If she went out to see the snow with Zhou Siqi today, she knew without a doubt that she would have to stay in the hospital tomorrow.

She was silent for a long time, not knowing how to respond.

Zhou Siqi over there seemed to be getting a little impatient waiting.

I sent her several question marks in a row.

【Si Qi: Don’t want to? Forget it, I’ll find someone else. 】

Jiang Mian was a little anxious.

Zhou Siqi rarely takes the initiative to ask her out!

Most of the time he was very busy, so even if she asked him out, he couldn't come out.

Jiang Mian lowered her head and tapped the screen frantically, almost causing sparks to appear on the screen.

【Jiang Mian: Go, go, go, I'll go now, don't be angry.】

Zhou Siqi quickly vacated a position over there.

Compared to her cautiousness, Zhou Siqi seemed much calmer and only replied to her with two words.

Hurry up.

But with just two simple words, Jiang Mian was also very happy.

She quickly stood up and turned to look at Huo Ning a little embarrassedly, "Master Huo, can I borrow your cosmetics?"

Huo Ning picked her up here, and she didn't expect Zhou Siqi to suddenly ask her out at first.

That's why she didn't bring any makeup with her.

However——

But when she was packing, she didn't put her cosmetics in the suitcase.

Huo Ning turned her head and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Okay, but are you sure you want to go out?"

At this moment, Jiang Mian only had Zhou Siqi waiting for her in her mind, and she didn't notice that Huo Ning had a strange expression on her face.

She smiled at Huo Ning gratefully, "Thank you, Master Huo."

Huo Ning said nothing, pointing to the dressing table where she placed her cosmetics, "Over there, go by yourself. But it's really cold today. When I went to pick you up just now, I was still wondering if you were physically fit enough to go out."

Jiang Mian paused, walked to the window sill and looked down.

The snow seemed to be getting heavier.

Even Jiang Mian's enthusiasm to go out seemed to have been largely extinguished by the heavy snow.

But she didn't say anything in the end. She just sat quietly in front of the dressing mirror.

The self in the mirror has rough skin and a sallow complexion. No matter how many layers of powder or cream I apply, it can't cover up the thick blemishes on my face.

Jiang Mian fell silent.

Just at this moment, the notification sound of WeChat on the mobile phone rang again.

【Si Qi: Don't dawdle. I don't want to wait for you too long. 】

【Si Qi: Don’t you still need to put on makeup? There’s no need. Don’t waste your time.】

Seeing this, Jiang Mian's heart sank.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered what Huo Ning had said to her.

——Remember, there is no one in this world who is 100% trustworthy. People’s hearts are changeable and nothing is eternal.

Jiang Mian's fingers tightened.

She turned off the screen of her mobile phone, and suddenly raised her head and said to Huo Ning: "Master Huo, I'm not going."

In my memory, even if Zhou Siqi really wanted to ask her out, he would definitely check the weather.

He knew that she was not in good health and would not let her go out in such cold and snowy weather.

Huo Ning took a sip of water and said, "It's good that you've figured it out. I'm not afraid to tell you that if you really go out today, you'll never come back."

"You will be locked up in a dark place by the Jiang family until you think you finally have a chance to escape and run away from the Jiang family."

"Then, he died in disgrace on a snowy night."

Jiang Mian felt cold all over.

She didn't ask Zhou Siqi whether he knew what would happen to her if she went out, but she still chose to let her go.

Asking further would clearly be humiliating, so she wanted to retain some dignity for herself.

Here, Zhou Siqi had been waiting for a long time but no one showed up, and his face was slightly impatient.

He sent another message to urge Jiang Mian, only to find that he had been blocked.

In an instant, Zhou Siqi's face turned ashen.

How dare she block him? !

She got angry just because I urged her a few words?

Oh, Jiang Mian thought that since she had lived the life of a little princess in the Jiang family for more than 20 years, she really regarded herself as a princess!

"Ahem... Brother Siqi, she... still doesn't want to come out?"

Jiang Yueyue's face was pale, she was wiping her tears and coughing.

Zhou Siqi handed her a tissue. Seeing Jiang Yueyue like this, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, and a dull pain swept through his body.

He felt a little annoyed and blamed himself for not being able to help Jiang Yueyue.

"She's a psychopath! She blocked me. Yueyue, don't give in to her like this. You've been sick recently because of her, and you missed the competition. She's a fake who took over someone else's nest. Why are you still paying attention to her? Get out of here."

"I want to see how long she, who knows nothing, can live outside the Jiang family!"

When Zhou Siqi mentioned Jiang Mian, a hint of disgust inevitably emerged between his brows.

He knew that Jiang Mian liked him, so he deliberately chose such cold weather to call her out.

He knew that she was in poor health and couldn't stand such cold, but he just wanted to torture her and make her lie in bed unable to get up tomorrow.

Jiang Yueyue was wronged by Jiang Mian, so he wanted to get back at her and vent her anger in his own way.
