Chapter 6: The Code of Heartbeat 1
After living in the perfect apartment for so long, I can now wake up on time at 6:30 every day even without an alarm clock.
Normally, after I woke up, I would knock on Cen Shengyuan's door and then set the table to prepare breakfast, but today I didn't want to get up at all.
It was so embarrassing yesterday, what should I do when I see Cen Shengyuan today?
“Ahhhh!”
I buried my head in the quilt in frustration. How embarrassing!
After being forcefully kissed yesterday, I not only did not struggle or resist, I even took the initiative to reach out and hug him.
Ahhh! Su Xiaomo! You are so embarrassing!
Just as I was covering my head with the quilt and screaming in shame and anger, there were three knocks on the wall next door, not too loud or too light.
Finished!
Did I just shout too loudly while hiding under the quilt and was discovered by the devil?
After I weakly got up and put on my clothes, I found that Cen Shengyuan had set the dining table for the first time and was fiddling with his silver-white cell phone.
He was sitting at the dining table, while Chi Zaochuan and Wen Rou were not there. He didn't know if they had gone to class.
What is this for?
I was on guard immediately when I saw Cen Shengyuan, not to mention that he took out that damn "evidence". He looked at me cautiously, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a graceful arc.
"Su Xiaomo, are you really that scared?"
How could it not be?
If it weren’t for those photos you took last time, why would I sign a contract with you?
I curled my lips and said, "I don't want to extend the term! Who knows if you will threaten me with the photos again when the contract expires?"
But to my surprise, Cen Shengyuan took the initiative to hand me the phone and said, "Anyway, the contract has been signed. You have done a good job of cleaning the room recently. You can delete the photos yourself."
What?
Did I hear that correctly?
I looked at Cen Shengyuan in surprise as he started to eat his breakfast slowly. He actually asked me to delete the photos?
How come this devil suddenly became so ?
Seeing that I was hesitant to move, he stretched out his hand to me and said, "If you can't bear to delete them and must keep those photos, I don't mind!"
"Who said you can't bear to part with it?"
I immediately grabbed the phone tightly and took a few steps back.
Seeing Cen Shengyuan continuing to drink his coffee elegantly, with no intention of coming over to snatch it, I opened my phone and quickly deleted those photos.
"Come over for breakfast when you're done!" Cen Shengyuan took the phone from me. "If you want to read a book in the future, just come over get it."
Huh?
The devil's attitude today was so suspicious that it gave me goosebumps.
I almost forgot to eat and stared blankly at Cen Shengyuan. He had just finished his coffee and there was a little foam on his lips. He nimbly stuck out his tongue...
Watching Cen Shengyuan's actions, I immediately thought of last night, in his dark room...
Su Xiaomo! Stop now!
I shook my head desperately, as if that would allow me to get the thought out of my head. However, no matter how hard I tried, the only image in my mind was that blushing and heart-pounding face.
Su Xiaomo, you're done!
After breakfast, Cen Shengyuan and I left Perfect Apartment and walked towards the teaching building.
From a distance away from the bulletin board, I saw a large group of people gathered around it, and they were all pointing and talking at it.
"Tsk tsk, it really is a free agreement. But wasn't the free student in the previous rumor called this?"
"Yes, isn't her name Su Xiaomo?"
"You don't know this, right? It is said that the rumor about Su Xiaomo came from Yin Meimei's mouth!"
"Is Su Xiaomo the girl that was taken away by Cen Shengyuan at the opening ceremony?"
"Yes, that's it! I think this Yin Meimei must be jealous of her!"
"Wow! How scary! Oh yeah, and I heard that she also likes to wear fake brand names. How can there be such a vain girl?"
…
I struggled to squeeze into the crowd and looked up. Sure enough, Yin Meimei's free agreement was posted on the bulletin board.
Could it be Cen Shengyuan?
No, he promised me that he would not post this free agreement and he would never do such a thing, but why did it appear here?
I turned around hesitantly and asked, "Why is the free agreement posted on the bulletin board?"
Cen Shengyuan looked at me, shrugged, and said, "How should I know? But it's a good thing to do something that makes people happy!"
Is it true or false?
"With so many people talking about Yin Meimei, she must be very sad."
I lowered my head and twisted the corners of my clothes. Although I was not the subject of everyone's discussion, I still couldn't feel happy at all. My heart was filled with a strong sense of guilt.
Suddenly, the person next to me leaned over and breathed in my ear with the scent of grass.
"Hey, if you dare to cry, I'll kiss you right here."
Did he think I was crying?
I raised my head suddenly, and Cen Shengyuan's cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone and made a gesture to me to keep quiet.
"Hello……"
Cen Shengyuan hardly spoke while answering the phone. At the end, he just said "hmm" and hung up.
"Hey, Su Xiaomo, I have to go to the principal's office now. Can you find our classroom by yourself? Don't go the wrong way!"
"Yeah!" I nodded vigorously, and my heart felt sweet because of the words "our class".
Cen Shengyuan patted my head, turned and left.
I lowered my head and walked slowly along the path, but when I passed the glass greenhouse of the college, I heard a faint sob.
Who is crying?
I walked cautiously towards the glass greenhouse that should have been empty, and a slender figure in uniform came into view.
Yin Meimei?
“Crack!”
Oh no! How unlucky I am! I accidentally stepped on a branch!
"who?"
Yin Meimei's crying stopped immediately, and I stood there helplessly.
Sure enough, I soon heard a voice coming from behind me: "Su Xiaomo, you are awesome! It's not enough that you exposed me, you also want to chase me and laugh at my joke?"
"Meimei, I didn't..." I turned around helplessly, scratching my head, not knowing how to explain to her, "I was just passing by here."
"You're lying! This is clearly behind the bulletin board, how did you pass by?" Yin Meimei looked at me, bit her lip and walked out of the greenhouse, "You won this time, but I will never let you catch me next time!"
Listening to her words without any remorse, my heart felt like a fire was burning. Did she think that spreading rumors everywhere and causing me so much trouble was still my fault in the end?
"Yin Meimei, do you think this is fair to me?"
Yin Meimei sneered disdainfully: "Is it fair that you can enjoy so many good things just because your parents are rich?"
I was speechless: "What kind of logic is this?"
"What kind of logic am I using? Su Xiaomo, do you know how it feels to be living under the roof of your uncle's house after your parents pass away and be looked down upon? Do you know how it feels to be unable to compare to the rich classmates who donated a large sum of sponsorship fees to the school no matter how hard you try?"
Yin Meimei was no longer as cold as before. Her eyes were red and she bit her lips, trying hard not to let tears flow out.
"You can look down on me, but I won't give up! No matter what, I must live a life like the children of rich families!"
Looking at her, I deeply felt that she and I were really not in the same world.
"Actually, Meimei, can I tear up that agreement and we make peace? Weren't you living well before?" I tried to reason with her.
"I'm living a good life? During the holidays, I worked part-time every night just to buy a few brand-name clothes, but I was exposed by Chi Hayakawa in the end. Do you really think I'm living a good life? How can a pampered young lady like you have the nerve to say this?"
I found that I could no longer communicate with Yin Meimei: "I am not a pampered young lady. I still have to do housework at home. Besides, you go to work every day and buy these so-called brand-name clothes. What else can you do except satisfy your vanity?"
"You don't need to care! I just can't accept it. Apart from my family conditions, how am I inferior to you? Besides letting everyone attack me and , what else can you do?"
I took several deep breaths, but still couldn't speak, the anger in my chest was burning fiercely. I opened my mouth, but another voice beat me to the punch.
"You are not as good as her in every way."
"From head to toe, there is no place like Su Xiaomo for you. Also, I pasted that photocopy there."
Suddenly, a deep and powerful male voice was heard. Yin Meimei and I turned our heads at the same time and saw a boy who was almost two meters tall walking towards us.
It's gentle!
"It's you?"
Not only Yin Meimei was surprised, I was also surprised.
"Xiao Mo, you don't need to apologize to this kind of person. Since she can spread rumors everywhere to frame you, why can't I post the truth for everyone to see?"
This was the first time I heard Wenrou say so much. He turned his head, looked at Yin Meimei opposite him, and said, "What qualifications do you have to question Xiaomo?"
Yin Meimei quickly turned her head and wiped away her tears. When she turned her head back, a sneer appeared on her face again.
"You are all Cen Shengyuan's friends, you will definitely speak up for her!" Yin Meimei turned and looked at me, "Su Xiaomo, I don't need your sympathy! I will definitely be better than you. Even a girl like you who is so rustic can attract everyone's attention at a party by dressing up. I will definitely be better than you in the future!"
"Are you crazy, girl?"
Wenrou seemed to be very angry with Yin Meimei, and he reached out to grab Yin Meimei's shoulders.
"Wenrou, don't do this to her!" I stretched out my hand to block him and held the hand that he was about to grab Yin Meimei, "Don't use violence against your classmates..."
But before I could finish my words, I suddenly heard a voice: "Hey! Gorilla! Let Su Xiaomo go. I'm here. Don't try to bully her!"
Oh my god! It happens again!
Eun-hui, I know you are worried about me, but please take a closer look at the situation before you take any action!
I turned my head and watched as the petite Eun-hui kicked me.
"thump!"
"boom!"
"ah--"
There were several sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground. Wenrou away, but he was kicked to the ground by Eunhui. I stumbled back a few steps and tripped Eunhui, causing her to fall on Wenrou.
By the time I helped Wenrou and Enhui up and explained everything clearly, Yin Meimei had already left without me noticing.
Fortunately she left. If she hadn't left, I think Eun-hui would have given her a good beating.
Although what Yin Meimei did before made me very sad, after hearing her talk about her life experience today, I don’t know why, I can no longer hate her at all.
"Xiao Mo, you are such a fool! She is indeed pitiful, but aren't you more pitiful? Did you provoke her or offend her? If you care about Yin Meimei again next time, I will end my friendship with you!"
After hearing the whole story, Eun-hye was so angry that she poked my head with her finger, acting like a big sister, but I felt that Eun-hye's actions were a little unnatural today.
Normally, her poking me hurts much more than it does now, and based on Eun-hye’s personality, she would probably say “Next time you go talk to Yoon Mi-mi, I’ll destroy you.”
I looked at the gentle figure sitting upright next to me, with two blushes on her face.
Could it be that...
My vision is indeed accurate enough.
After breaking up with Wenrou, Enhui was not only distracted all the way, but also kept asking me about Wenrou in a roundabout way.
Humph! I won't tell her so readily! Who told her to gossip about me and Cen Shengyuan?
but……
I've been delayed on the road for so long, I wonder if Cen Shengyuan will be angry.
Hey! Su Xiaomo, why are you so easily shaken?
It was clearly him who misunderstood you first yesterday, and that forced kiss can’t just be let go!
But...I didn't seem to resist the kiss yesterday...
"Xiaomo, I'm talking to you, what are you thinking about? Why is your face so red?" Enhui's voice interrupted my thoughts. She looked at me curiously, "Xiaomo, you should turn around. If you walk any further, you will follow me back to my original class!"
Ah! It has been delayed for so long. If Cen Shengyuan knew about this, he would be angry again.
"Then I'll be leaving first, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
When Enhui and I ran to the classroom separately, Cen Shengyuan was already sitting in his seat.
He glared at me impatiently. I ran over and asked before he could speak, "What did you do in the principal's office just now?"
Hearing me ask him, Cen Shengyuan frowned and said, "Isn't it because Best College is preparing to participate in the National Decathlon Shining Star Competition? It's really troublesome..."
"Wow, the dean wants you to participate in the competition? So awesome?"
I cried out in surprise, but Cen Shengyuan looked at me with disdain and said, "Are you kidding me? How could I possibly participate in that kind of competition? They are inviting me to train those idiots who are participating in the competition!"
"Wow!"
I covered my mouth in disbelief and looked him up and down. I didn't expect this guy to be so powerful!
He nodded, looked at me and said, "You will follow me to class then."
"Me? Why? Am I qualified to participate?"
"Just think of it as tutoring you in math!" At this point, Cen Shengyuan suddenly glared at me, "Besides, do you still remember the conditions added to the last contract? Be available at any time! You idiot, have you forgotten the contents of the contract recently ?"
I don’t know why, but I had clearly accepted the contract a long time ago, but when I heard Cen Shengyuan say this, I felt like a piece was missing in my heart, empty and sad.
It turns out that all this is because of that contract...
Maybe even his jealousy yesterday was a misunderstanding on my part, because I didn't abide by the contract and follow him everywhere.
"I understand." I suddenly wanted to be alone and quiet.
Thinking of this, I said, "Cen Shengyuan, I won't be going to have lunch with you at noon. I have to go to the Academic Affairs Office."
He raised his beautiful eyebrows and said, "Remember to do the same next time and ask for leave first!"
I've decided that I must find a way to steal that contract!
During the lunch break , I found a place where no one was around and called my mother. Although she hasn't come to this school yet, she is still very influential.
"Hey, baby, why are you calling me suddenly?"
"Mom, there is a classmate who is being treated unfairly, and I want to help her..."
I chatted for a long time, hung up the phone, and turned around to see Yin Meimei's sneaky back. She seemed to be afraid of being discovered, and walked quickly along the wall with her waist bent.
What is she doing?
