Shen Yishu's novel has ended.
She's been lacking inspiration lately and is practically rotting away at home.
Unfortunately, Lin Yusheng had to stay home to take care of her godson. Given the experience of four years ago, Shen Yishu wouldn't ask her to come out and take risks again.
Bored, she knocked on Wen Nian's door, but no one answered; she guessed he had gone out.
Shen Yishu sighed, "I'm just a bit of a homebody, how did I end up as a lonely person? I'm only in my early twenties and my life is so bland."
The more she talked, the more she felt it wouldn't work, so she immediately decided to go to a bar to stimulate her dopamine levels.
After looking disheveled for a long time, she tidied herself up and stood in front of the mirror admiring herself for ages before finally going out in the evening.
Since Sheng Sheng moved to Jiangnan many years ago, her friends, who used to get along well, started to ostracize her out of snobbery, so she stopped hanging out with them.
Her only friend, Wen Shengyao, had become serious, and she gradually got used to being alone.
The bar was filled with loud music. At first, Shen Yishu was a little uncomfortable, but after having a couple of drinks, she completely let loose.
She took off her coat, revealing a black, tight-fitting bodycon dress underneath, and walked onto the dance floor to the rhythm of the music.
Suddenly a beautiful woman appeared, and everyone quickly made room for her, hoping to dance with her.
But Shen Yishu had no one she wanted to flirt with, so she simply indulged in her own reverie.
The creative process is a long and peaceful one. She is a rather crazy person to begin with, so you could say she was really bursting with pent-up energy.
So tonight she indulged herself unusually, as if she wanted to vent all the loneliness and pain she had endured over the years.
Wen Nian, sitting in the booth, squinted at the erotic scene before him, his expression somewhat ambiguous.
Is this really his neighbor who always wears pajamas, is unkempt, and goes out to take out the trash and look for food?
For the first time, he doubted his own eyes.
Some people on the dance floor were already drooling.
Chen Sisi's new boyfriend walked up to her, his gaze never leaving Shen Yishu. "If we're talking about goddesses in Lucheng's high society, it has to be Lin Yusheng and Shen Yishu."
The two have been exceptionally good-looking since childhood and are also good friends; wherever they go, they are a beautiful sight to behold.
Chen Sisi was furious and shoved her boyfriend's hand away. "If you think she's so beautiful, why don't you go after her? It's really a waste for you to be with me."
"I was just saying. Besides, I know my own limitations and won't waste my time on people who are not good enough for me."
Chen Sisi glared at him, "What do you mean? What do you mean by having self-awareness? You think I'm no match for that Shen Yishu, right?"
"It's a fact, you have to admit it, it's nothing." The man said impatiently.
Chen Sisi's chest heaved with anger, her hands clenched into fists. "Get out of here!"
"Okay." The man left without saying another word.
Although some of Chen Sisi's cronies didn't hear what the two were saying, they could tell that something was off.
Someone leaned close to her ear and asked, "Sisi, what's wrong?"
Chen Sisi glared at the woman on the dance floor who was drawing everyone's attention, and said with a look of resentment, "It's that vixen again. She's too old and nobody wants her, so she comes out to attract attention."
Her friend comforted her, "Forget it, we're just keeping to ourselves anyway, no need to get angry, let's continue doing our thing."
Chen Sisi, however, was not happy about it.
She wasn't bad-looking, but because she was always in the same school as Lin Yusheng and Shen Yishu, she was always overshadowed by them, and she was never the first person mentioned.
That's why she used to fawn over Deng Xingwen, because they both disliked the same person.
"I can't stand her being so smug."
A friend worriedly said, "Sisi, let it go. It's better to avoid trouble."
"If you're scared, stay away from me and pretend you don't know me," Chen Sisi shouted.
The music drowned out most of her voice, but her friends still heard it and looked embarrassed.
Chen Sisi ordered a drink and then wandered around the dance floor, gradually getting closer to Shen Yishu.
Shen Yishu was enjoying the revelry with her mind blank when she suddenly felt a chill on her chest as icy liquid seeped into her clothes.
Chen Sisi said in a mocking tone, "I'm sorry, I twisted my ankle. Are you alright?"
She seemed to recognize Shen Yishu, and looked slightly surprised, "Oh, it's you! Long time no see, old friend."
Seeing that they seemed to know each other, the people around them withdrew their gossipy gazes.
Shen Yishu had no idea when she and Chen Sisi had become friends.
Her clothes were soaked, and her good mood from the whole evening was completely ruined. She asked coldly, "What is it?"
"No, I just accidentally got your clothes wet. I'm sorry, it's dark here, I hope you don't mind."
Shen Yishu did not miss the smug smile on her lips.
She chuckled softly and said, "It's alright."
Chen Sisi smugly thought that she wouldn't do anything to her.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yishu directly said to the person next to her, "Excuse me, can I borrow your wine? I'll return you a fresh one later."
She took the wine and, without hesitation, splashed it on Chen Sisi's face.
Chen Sisi was stunned. The cold wine slid down her cheeks to her chest and soaked her clothes.
The person playing the music was distracted by this scene and forgot to continue playing for a moment. When the scene quieted down, Shen Yishu said something in a calm tone.
"No need for an apology, because I prefer an eye for an eye."
Chen Sisi hadn't expected this outcome. Although the lighting was dim, she still felt very embarrassed.
She yelled, "Shen Yishu, are you crazy? Didn't I already apologize?"
"Apologize? Then I apologize to you too. I'm sorry." Shen Yishu said casually, not even bothering to pretend.
Some people couldn't help but laugh, including Wen Nian, who was sitting in a booth.
This was different from the Shen Yishu he remembered.
At this moment, Chen Sisi's friend walked up to her and deliberately said, "Miss Shen, it's good to be lenient when you can."
Shen Yishu was truly annoyed. "I'll say the same thing to you. After all these years of fighting, don't you know I'm not one to take things lying down?"
"Are you sick in the head? You provoked me and then pretend to be an innocent victim? Do you think you're completely innocent?"
She raised her voice in anger, as if she wanted to kill everyone.
The dance floor was completely silent.
Chen Sisi never expected that after so many years, even though everyone had grown up, Shen Yishu would still be so direct and blunt.
She forced herself to say, "I already told you I didn't do it on purpose."
"Just because you didn't do it on purpose, you're in the right? Why should I accept your apology for getting my clothes wet and ruining my good mood all evening?"
“You…” Chen Sisi felt that she was being aggressive, but at first glance, her logic was sound.
Chen Sisi's friend said, "Sisi's clothes got wet anyway, so we're even. Sisi, let's go. Be more careful next time. Not everyone is magnanimous enough to accept our sincere apology."
