09 Life is like a play, all depends on acting

. Jiang Lai dreamed of her first meeting with Shen Hean.

She was eighteen years old that year, which was a critical period for her senior year of high school, but bad news came one after another.

First her mother fell ill, and then she learned from her mother that she was not a child of the Jiang family. Later, her mother died, and the news that she was not Jiang's father's biological daughter disappeared for some reason.

At her mother's funeral, Jiang's father's lover brought her daughter to make a scene, saying that since she was not Jiang's father's biological daughter, and since her mother had cheated on Jiang, there was no need to hold a funeral for such a naturally charming woman.

At that time, Jiang Lai had cried until her voice was hoarse because of her mother's death, and she shouted with all her strength, asking them to get out, this was her mother's funeral, and if they didn't do it, she would do it.

Finally, Jiang's father took the lead to leave, and the guests left one after another. They came because of the interests involved, and when the interests left, they would naturally judge the situation and follow suit.

Jiang Lai had no way to think about anything else. She held her mother's urn and felt her hands shaking.

Her mother was a sentimental person. She studied art and was naturally sensitive to emotions. Jiang Lai guessed that this was probably the reason why her mother suffered from depression. Her

mother was not very happy in the Jiang family, but she seemed to have a particularly strong feeling for her husband, so she was reluctant to leave. Even if her husband had many mistresses, she was reluctant to divorce. She

was too sad and her body got worse day by day. On the day she fell ill, her body was already deficient. Perhaps her mother had no desire to live and soon passed away.

Jiang Lai's mother was not as meticulous to her as other classmates' mothers, but Jiang Lai grew up in her mother's amniotic fluid and was fed by her mother's milk. Even if her mother did not care much about her, she was still her mother and her forever haven in this world.

Only with relatives can you have roots. When her mother died, her foothold in this world no longer existed.

Yes, Jiang's father could not be called a relative in her heart. Even if Jiang's father was related to her by blood, she would not admit it. Can a person who has not given birth to or raised a child be called a father? Can a person who has no sense of responsibility for the family be called a father? Of course not.

So when Jiang's father turned and left at the funeral, Jiang Lai didn't feel much. She was only immersed in sadness. The death of her mother had made it impossible for her to react to other people's affairs.

At that time, Meng Man was confined to her home because she was hospitalized for speeding, so there was no one around her that day. After Jiang's father left, the whole funeral became deserted, and Jiang Lai could only complete the ceremony alone.

After the funeral, Jiang Lai was reluctant to leave. She sat in the corner crying while holding a small box, and Shen Hean appeared at this time.

A strange hand was spread out in front of Jiang Lai, and Jiang Lai saw a lemon candy in his large palm.

Jiang Lai looked up at him blankly. The overly handsome man curled his lips at her lightly, and his tone was just right to comfort her: "The deceased is gone, condolences."

He seemed to be late, and didn't know what happened at the funeral. He didn't know that perhaps his interests had already left. He just came to a woman's funeral, saw a poor child squatting on the ground crying, and then gave her a candy.

This candy was the beginning of Jiang Lai's love for Shen Hean.

Meng Man later listened to the process of her falling in love with Shen Hean and felt it was too incredible. How could she fall in love with someone so easily?

Jiang Lai couldn't explain it either. Maybe it was because she was too sad that day, and he was the only one with her.

Later, Jiang Lai learned that the person who gave her the candy was the only son of the Shen family, the future head of the Shen family, and the representative of power and profit. Later, Jiang Lai also learned that the only son of the Shen family had a little mental illness, that is, he suffered from white knight syndrome.

He seemed to have rescued many students who couldn't afford to go to school, from elementary school students to college students.

After losing her status as a member of the Jiang family, Jiang Lai could no longer attend banquets where Shen He'an would appear. Their social classes were already worlds apart.

Jiang Lai didn't really care about power or benefits. She was a person who was easily satisfied. There was no difference between branded bags and carpet goods.

However, the class difference between her and Shen He'an made her feel a little tricky, so Jiang Lai could only choose to start with Shen He'an's white knight syndrome.

When she left the Jiang family, Jiang Lai took a card with her. For some reason, the card never stopped working. Although the money in it was limited, it was enough for her to go to college.

However, the only condition for being funded by Shen He'an was poverty.

So she spent two years creating the image of a poor student. She would work part-time whenever she had time and only bought the cheapest clothes.

Also, because she had not yet recovered from the grief of her mother's death, her health was not very good during those two years. When she saw Shen He'an again, she was naturally too thin.

When she saw Shen He'an again, she had made a lot of preparations. Therefore, Jiang Lai was able to seize the rare opportunity when Shen He'an showed up at school, pretending to be a food delivery driver on campus who was being bullied, being noticed by Shen He'an, and then acting out a perfect play in front of him.

Of course, she acted very successfully, so Shen He'an promised to support her.

He was innocent, and support was just support. He gave money and asked a few questions periodically, and there was no follow-up. This was no progress at all for Jiang Lai.

So she acted out another play. This play was about a disagreement with her roommate. A girl crying in the rain called him late at night and said she had no home to return to. Who wouldn't be soft-hearted?

So Jiang Lai stayed at Shen He'an's house, and acted out a broken leg and really needed someone to take care of her, so she had to stay at his house.

Living under the same roof, they had to come into contact. Jiang Lai deliberately showed some actions that were not in Shen He'an's eyes, and letting Shen He'an take care of her was the real beginning of their relationship.

Shen Hean is really a gentleman. He takes care of her like a young person in his family. Jiang Lai can even feel that he is really doing good for her. He is really doing good for her health, her studies, and her future.

But no matter how gentlemanly a person is, he can't stand Jiang Lai's temptation to cross the line and pretend to be good. Later, the two of them had more and more physical contact, and finally Jiang Lai climbed into his bed.

It's just that the development of things is different from what Jiang Lai imagined at the beginning. She wanted to fall in love with Shen Hean, but from the day the money was deposited into her account, their relationship was not clean.

After all, Jiang Lai is not experienced in the world, and she doesn't know how to deal with it. Now she can only be so unclear. The sponsor is not like a sponsor, the sponsor is not like a sponsor, and the elder is not like an elder...

What should she do next? She doesn't know where to start.

*

"Be good? Be good?" The same voice as in the dream suddenly rang in her ears, and Jiang Lai woke up from her sleep with an "ah".

"Wake up." The face in her dream enlarged in front of her eyes. Chen Hean gently patted her butt through the quilt and said softly, "If you don't get up, you will be late for class."

Jiang Lai was frightened by the sudden appearance of the face in her dream and patted her crazy beating and irregular heartbeat.

"What's wrong?" Chen Hean lowered his head and gently touched her cheek with his lips, with an intimate gesture: "Did you have a nightmare?"

That’s right, I had a nightmare that I failed in my acting and you found out, and you coldly told me to go act and win an Oscar and then kicked me out of the house.

Jiang Lai said a lot of these in his heart, but he didn’t dare to say them out loud, so he could only swallow his words back in frustration.

When a person feels guilty, he will appear to be very busy. Jiang Lai said "no" and was about to get up from the quilt. As soon as she moved, she found that her butt was slightly painful. She twisted in the quilt like a worm and shouted "It hurts, it hurts" several times.

"Who told you not to listen?"

The moment these words appeared, Jiang Lai knew that Tang Seng was here again.

She covered her ears, and then got out of bed very flexibly, shouting "Stop chanting" while running to the bathroom, without any sign of pain as she had just said.

Chen Hean looked at her back, shook his head helplessly, and then put the glasses he had just brought over on the bedside table.
