Chapter 245
She didn't respond, and ate heartily until she was almost full before slowing down.
Eugene was touching her again.
She still ignored it and continued eating her fast food until she finished.
Ever since I experienced hunger, I've become increasingly unable to tolerate being hungry.
“I didn’t mean to not feed you. I’m just used to being alone and forgot there’s someone at home,” he explained, pinching her earlobe. “When I’m busy, I don’t eat either, until I’m done.”
After saying that, he muttered to himself, "No wonder all my pets died; they starved to death."
Jiang You listened.
but......
Trading is still useful.
...Isn't that right?
Over the next few days, Eugene was in a good mood and stopped calling her an idiot or a piece of trash.
She knew that Eugene's change of attitude was due to the deal.
Therefore, trading is useful.
Jiang You didn't dislike trading with Eugene. He would buy her pants, feed her well, and take her out to play whenever she wanted...
Eugene fulfilled all her requests.
On the bustling street, she almost burst into tears.
She had been trapped in the castle for so long that she had almost forgotten what she was like normally.
“Here you go,” Eugene appeared, scratching his face with his fingers, looking very embarrassed, his ear tips turning pink. “Isn’t it said that when a woman is sad, she needs a bouquet of flowers?”
The deep red roses are in full bloom, their edges slightly curled and tinged with light pink. When the wind blows, they release a faint, sweet fragrance.
Jiang You paused for a moment, then took the flower, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his cheek.
Passersby gave him good-natured, teasing laughs, and Eugene blushed even more: "What, what are you doing?"
He pulled her away quickly.
During this trip, she bought a blind box planter. The seeds inside were random, and she wouldn't know what kind of plant it was until it grew.
"Grow up quickly," Jiang You said, leaning against the window, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the potted plants on the windowsill.
Just then, a casual voice came from behind her: "Come here."
Jiang You slowly moved closer to Eugene and was pulled onto Eugene's lap.
He rested his chin on the crook of her neck, and his long, slender, fair hands reached from her lower back to the front, placing them on the keyboard.
Here we go again. Jiang You was already used to Eugene using her as a pillow. She found a comfortable spot, nestled in his arms, and looked at the monitor in front of her.
I can't understand it, and it's so bright it hurts my eyes.
"You're not nearsighted?" she asked, bored, finally voicing the question she'd been wanting to ask.
Eugene smiled and said, "I guess I'm just exceptionally gifted."
As he spoke, he picked up a game console from the table and handed it to her: "Didn't you say the games in here are boring? There are some new games I made in here, have a try."
During this special period, no one can connect to the internet except for specially made equipment. Jiang You has been playing single-player games for the past few days. She never expected that Eugene would make her a new game after she casually complained that the game was boring the day before.
Her contribution was simply to be Eugene's body pillow, occasionally giving him kisses and touches.
That's really a good deal.
This period was the most comfortable time that Jiangyou had ever experienced.
Eugene treated her very, very well, like a naive young man experiencing the first stirrings of love, wanting to give her everything he had.
He didn't force her to have sex, nor did he imprison her. The two of them often went out together, and he bought her everything she wanted.
That's fine. Going back to China might not bring the same comfort. Jiang You thought that living with Eugene like this was good enough, and she was willing to do so.
But things didn't go as she had planned, and Theodore's men discovered them.
Eugene handed her over to another group of people. Seeing her clinging to his clothes and her panicked eyes, he felt annoyed and helpless: "Fine, I'll go with you."
******
Gunshots, shells, screams, the smell of gunpowder, and blood—the scenes unfolded continuously...
Eugene is dead.
Is he dead?
She should have died, but he pushed her away and saved her life.
They're meant to be support, not warriors.
Jiang You kept crying until he had no more tears left to shed.
She was arranged to board a helicopter and fly over the sea.
The plane was shot down.
She fell into the sea.
She's dying soon too.
********
As the evening glow spread across the streets, high school students leaving the basketball court went home.
Su Qingbai raised the corners of her eyes slightly, her light brown pupils sparkling with light, and waved to her friends who had packed their things and were already some distance away: "See you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow," Qu Xing replied, turning back as she walked. A boy next to her said enviously, "You've played ball for two hours and still have so much energy. I'm too tired to move."
Another boy said, "He's Su Qingbai, the little sun that never sets, always full of enthusiasm."
“How can a person be enthusiastic forever?” Qu Xing’s smile faded, and he turned back to say seriously, “Don’t take advantage of Su Qingbai’s easygoing nature and push your luck.”
"How could that be? With you here, who would dare bully him, Daddy?"
Qu Xing chuckled expressionlessly: "Daddy?"
The boy immediately backed down: "No, I meant you take care of Su Qingbai like a mother, uh, I meant you're the class monitor..."
It was too late; the boy was violently choked by Qu Xing.
Su Qingbai had no idea what had happened between them, or why they were suddenly fighting. He scratched his head until he could no longer see his friends' backs before turning around and walking towards his bicycle.
He rested his knuckles on the center of the handlebars, pushing the bicycle forward with his right hand while swiping his phone screen with his left fingertips.
I saw a new message and clicked on it.
Su Qingbai: [Mom, it's my birthday in a few days, are you coming back?]
Mom: [The company got a new project, I'll send you your birthday present.]
Another new message.
Dad: [Since you can't come back from abroad, I'll have someone send you your birthday present.]
Su Qingbai's upturned lips gradually flattened, and he pursed his lips in disappointment. Soon, he cheered up and smiled: "It's okay, as long as you're safe. That's my birthday wish."
He straddled the bicycle, the chain making a light "click" sound.
As he went downhill, he slightly loosened the brakes, revealing the firm lines of a young man. His soft, short hair was blown back by the wind, the ends brushing against his fair ear tips.
The setting sun cast a golden glow on the sea, and Su Qingbai, riding his bicycle by, was dazzled by the golden light.
He subconsciously slowed down, glanced at the car, and his deer-like eyes suddenly widened.
"Jiang You, wake up! You must live on. I will always be by your side."
"You still have me, and you still have Dad, Mom, and Grandma. You worked so hard to get into university, and you..."
Qiu Yun dragged her, who had no will to live, forward as they swam.
But it's Qiuyun.
I'm so tired.
I'm so tired...
She had a headache, and someone was pressing on her chest.
"Cough...cough cough...cough cough cough..." Jiang You opened his eyes and saw eyes as clear as the sky after the rain.
"That's great," the owner of the eyes breathed a sigh of relief, released her hand from her chest, and grinned, revealing her bright white teeth. "You've finally woken up."
