Chapter 111 Earrings
Chen Congyu twisted her arm and felt the pain belatedly. She frowned slightly and turned away, not wanting to face Jiang Xilin.
Jiang Xilin unbuckled his seatbelt and took the car keys away. He looked at her sullen face and asked, "Do you want me to carry you down?"
Chen Congyu clenched his teeth.
Her arm was aching dully at the moment, and she couldn't drive for a while. After a few seconds of hesitation, she got out of the car.
Jiang Xilin closed the car door and said, "I'll have someone come over to take care of it."
The car hadn't driven far from No. 118, but Shen Congyu still didn't want to go over and be alone with Jiang Xilin, but he had her car keys and had no intention of giving them to her.
Helplessly, Shen Congyu followed him back.
The lights in the living room were bright, and Chen Congyu took off his coat, unbuttoned the shirt underneath, and took off half of his sleeves, revealing one shoulder, neck, and arm.
She had recovered and could clearly see the purple bruise beneath her overly delicate skin, which almost seemed to be showing through the thin skin.
Jiang Xilin took the medicine box over, took a look at her current posture, and sat down next to her.
Chen Congyu seemed to pay no attention to him, but in fact, every nerve was involved. When he was about to touch her, she quickly stretched out her hand and said, "I can do it myself."
The movement was very natural. In fact, if it was a second later, Jiang Xilin's fingertips would have touched her arm.
Jiang Xilin's gaze stayed on her face for two seconds, and he handed the cotton swab to her.
Chen Congyu began to apply medicine to herself without saying a word. The smell of the medicine was not pleasant, it was cool and a little irritating, and it soon spread and lingered between the two of them.
Jiang Xilin didn't leave, but sat quietly, which made Shen Congyu feel more pressured.
It was clear that the two of them had just faced each other decisively not long ago.
She wanted to finish quickly and leave.
But there were some places on the back of her arms that she couldn't reach.
Jiang Xilin said, "Are you still coming by yourself?"
Chen Congyu then said angrily: "I won't wipe it anymore."
She was about to put the cotton swab down, but Jiang Xilin took it from her hand with a clear purpose, dipped it in the medicine, held her other shoulder to prevent her from moving, and continued to apply the medicine to the area behind her that was out of sight.
Inexplicably, Chen Congyu felt that the places he touched were particularly sensitive, even though his movements were very light.
She still felt clear.
Just when Shen Congyu was about to call for a halt, Jiang Xilin suddenly spoke from behind her: "Duan Zhen was slightly injured, nothing serious. She admitted that she had nothing to do with your friend, so she will personally apologize to you."
"You handle this matter for the two sisters. You don't need to tell me or look for me. Just talk to Songsong."
Jiang Xilin: "I'm not telling you this on their behalf, I'm just saying it to you."
Chen Congyu said deliberately, "Oh," and said, "Then I heard it."
Being watched from behind by Jiang Xilin like this, Shen Congyu felt very insecure. She couldn't help but look back, "Is it not okay yet?"
"It's almost there." Jiang Xilin stopped her from moving and pinched her forearm. Although she was thin, she had a small frame and was not skinny. Her body felt soft and tender.
Even so, Jiang Xilin's palm easily wrapped around her forearm, his five fingers slightly sunk in, and the palm felt soft and tender.
He suddenly asked, "How did you hit it while driving?"
Shen Congyu was in a complicated mood at the time, but she couldn't tell him, after all, he was also one of the culprits.
She muttered, "I didn't notice. I'm not familiar with the road here."
"Leave tomorrow morning."
Chen Congyu didn't say anything.
Not long after, Jiang Xilin let her go and said, "Put on your clothes after you're done."
He packed up the medicine box, and Shen Congyu sat over a little.
When Jiang Xilin came back after washing his hands, she had already put on her clothes.
She said, "You go up first. I need to reply to some messages."
Jiang Xilin took his cell phone and went upstairs.
Shen Congyu felt a little relieved, charged his phone, and saw the news that Wen Song was safe.
She told Wen Song that her car had hit something and she would not be able to return until tomorrow morning.
Wen Song: [Are you okay? Are you going home now?]
Chen Congyu: [It's okay, the car has been taken care of. I'm with Jiang Xilin.]
Wen Song: [That’s fine. Let’s talk about it when we meet tomorrow.]
Shen Congyu put down her phone, thought for a moment, and turned off the lights in the living room, leaving only one on. She had no intention of going upstairs and slept directly on the sofa.
After one night, Shen Congyu woke up early. She seemed to feel Jiang Xilin standing on the stairs at night, but she was too sleepy at the time and turned her face away and fell asleep again.
She woke up early and wanted to avoid Jiang Xilin, so after a quick wash, she left without running into Jiang Xilin.
Wen Song's car will be driven later.
When it was time for Jiang Xilin to get up, he packed up and went downstairs. There was no one in the living room, it was so empty, as if no one was there last night.
He stood by the sofa for a while and went to pour himself some water.
Before leaving, Duan Ke came over to deliver something to Jiang Xilin.
After putting everything in place, Duan Ke and Jiang Xilin sat down on the sofa. Duan Ke said, "I plan to take Zhenzhen to see Miss Wen at noon."
Jiang Xilin took a sip of coffee and nodded in response.
"I'm a little worried. Looking at Miss Wen's temper, she might make things difficult for us."
Jiang Xilin: "Just talk normally, what can she do to you?"
Duan Ke realized that what he had said just now was a bit extreme. He lifted the hair beside his ear and said, "I think so too. I will also talk to Zhenzhen and ask her to be more polite."
"Um."
Jiang Xilin was getting ready to go out. He went to put on his coat. Duan Ke looked at his back and remembered that she had forgotten to give him an invitation.
She opened the bag at hand and rummaged through it, and suddenly saw something shiny in the gap at the edge of the sofa.
She took a closer look and the more she looked, the more it looked like an earring. Before reaching out to take it, she looked at Jiang Xilin and saw him lowering his head to adjust his sleeves. She put her hand into the gap of the sofa.
He quickly took the earring into his palm.
Jiang Xilin then glanced sideways and asked her if she wanted to go together.
Duan Ke opened her palm while taking the invitation, letting the earrings in her palm fall into her bag, and then took out the invitation.
…
During her lunch break, Chen Congyu received a call from Wen Song, who asked her to meet her near her magazine office. When she arrived, she found out that Duan Ke and Duan Zhen had asked her to meet them. She thought she might as well invite Chen Congyu along, so she arranged to meet her near the magazine office.
"Jiang Xilin was too cold to you last night because of the two sisters' matter. Today, I must let you listen to their apology with me." Wen Song held Shen Congyu's arm, and he had a plan in mind.
Chen Congyu was indeed upset last night, but she knew in her heart that it was Jiang Xilin who caused it. As for today, she still hoped that Wen Song would vent his anger and not cause any more problems.
Duan Ke and her sister just arrived, and Chen Congyu and Wen Song passed by behind them. Duan Zhen's face was not good.
It was Duan Ke who spoke up again, pulling Duan Zhen aside and saying, "Miss Wen, I misunderstood you about what happened last night."
