Chapter 9: Self-defeating accusations 1
"Cen Shengyuan! Wait for me!"
I did take a little time to get up in the morning, but you don't need to walk so fast.
Looking at his back which was far ahead, I chased after him, shouting out loud, "Cen... Cen Shengyuan! Wait for me!"
Just as I was trying my best to catch up with him, he suddenly stopped.
"I am so tired..."
I finally caught up with Cen Shengyuan and wanted to thank him, but I found that he didn't seem to stop just to wait for me.
Standing opposite Su Qian and Yin Meimei, there was another beauty who obviously didn't look like a student. Why did I say she obviously didn't look like a student? Because she was not only wearing a white suit, but also dyed her hair brown and permed it into charming big waves.
Cen Shengyuan, why are you looking at this beautiful sister without blinking?
Cen Shengyuan's expression suddenly became serious. He said, "Sister, when did you come back? Why didn't you call me first?" After saying this, Cen Shengyuan looked at Su Qian with dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you look for your own brother first, but went to find an outsider to receive you?"
Brother?
Could she be Cen Shengyuan’s sister?
I quickly stepped forward and said, "Hello, sister!"
"You are that...Su Xiaomo?" The beauty didn't respond to me, but looked at me critically, "Don't call me sister, call me Miss Cen Shengyan."
Cen Shengyuan's sister doesn't seem to like me very much.
Cen Shengyan didn't seem to notice my unhappy expression. She turned her head and looked at the big devil and said, "Don't tell me about the celebration ceremony of the Holy Abyss Temple. You haven't prepared anything yet. If Susie hadn't told me in advance, I wouldn't have known about it! It's almost the first anniversary of the completion of the Holy Abyss Temple. I plan to make this celebration into a large party called Holy Angel BLing. This is Susie 's idea, isn't it good?"
Without waiting for his answer, Cen Shengyan, who seemed even more arbitrary than Cen Shengyuan, made a decision on her own: "It's settled then. I'll let you know when I'm ready. Also, I'll go to your apartment tonight. Although my parents and I have never interfered with you, since you're the one who wants to have a girlfriend, I still have the final say."
I bit my lip. Does Cen Shengyan mean to interfere in the affairs between me and Cen Shengyuan?
"Sister, why don't I take you around the campus?" I didn't have time to think about it and shouted at Cen Shengyan who was about to leave.
Cen Shengyan didn't even turn her head, but waved her hand casually and said, "No need, Susie will be my guide, you just wait for me at the Perfect Apartment in the evening."
Although her words didn't sound rude, I felt that she had a very bad impression of me.
"Sister, let me take you there. This has nothing to do with outsiders." Cen Shengyuan said coldly.
Susie held Cen Shengyan's arm and pouted unwillingly.
"Susie's family is an old friend of ours after all. This time she was so enthusiastic to introduce you to me about your school situation. How could you treat them like this?" After hearing what Cen Shengyuan said, Cen Shengyan turned around and said, "If she hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you were dating a girl like that so soon. I will come to find you in the evening. You just stay in the apartment and wait for me. Don't go anywhere!"
After saying this, Cen Shengyan quickly glared at me and turned away. Even in her 12-centimeter high heels, her walking posture was still more elegant than my walking in flat shoes.
"Your sister is so beautiful..."
Cen Shengyuan did not answer me. For some reason, his face became serious. But say anything. Don't worry, I won't let her control you too much."
However, I suddenly remembered another thing.
"Holy Angel BLing? Cen Shengyuan, you haven't told me this before."
"The Holy Abyss Temple was built with donations from my family, so it was named after me. The first anniversary is coming up in a few days, so they probably wanted to celebrate it."
Cen Shengyuan's family is indeed different from my father's personality. My father has always been low-key, but Cen Shengyuan's family likes various anniversary celebrations and even donated to the college to build an auditorium.
"Hey, Su Xiaomo! Hurry up, we're going to be late!"
"Ah... wait for me! Your legs are so long, I can't catch up with you!"
Cen Shengyuan looked very nervous throughout the morning, but when he came to ask me to go back to the apartment in the afternoon, there was no sign of heaviness on his expression.
Even as he led me back to the apartment with a relaxed look on his face, I still felt nervous.
Could it be that Cen Shengyan is already waiting for us in the apartment?
"Cen Shengyuan..."
"What's for dinner?"
"Dinner? Let's go to Fulis to buy the new chiffon cake." When I thought of the delicious cake, the worries in my heart disappeared. "Cen Shengyuan, your sister said she would come to the apartment to find us in the evening. Is she waiting now?"
"You seem very nervous..." Cen Shengyuan looked at me, his raised lips looking particularly charming in the afterglow of the setting sun, his thick eyelashes casting a row of shadows on his flawless face, "Don't worry, my sister won't show up at this time. It's so hot, she needs to change clothes and put on makeup, so she won't be here until at least eight o'clock."
"You two are indeed siblings..."
Although I was still very nervous, I couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone in their family is really a perfectionist!
When I arrived at the Perfect Apartment, I pushed open the door and was about to call Chi Hayakawa and Wenrou's names, but I saw Chi Hayakawa standing at the corner of the stairs and gesturing to me to keep quiet.
"What's wrong?" I asked confusedly.
Ike Hayakawa rushed down quickly, pulled me to where he had just stood, and then secretly stuck his head out.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, Cen Shengyuan said behind me, which startled me. Chi Zaochuan kept making gestures to him, signaling him not to speak.
"Are you a spy?"
"You guessed it right!" Chi Zaochuan lowered his voice and said to me and Cen Shengyuan with a smug look on his face, "The reason I want to peek here is to monitor Wen Rou!"
He simply pulled Cen Shengyuan over, and the three of them stood together at the corner of the stairs looking at the gentle door downstairs.
Fortunately, Wenrou didn't make us wait too long. Chi Zaochuan had just pulled Cen Shengyuan over to participate in the surveillance operation when we heard the sound of Wenrou's door opening.
Hearing Cen Shengyuan's gasp, I covered his mouth with my hand.
Wenrou was wearing a pair of black harem pants and an open-collar hoodie, and she seemed to be wearing a white T-shirt under the hoodie.
"Hahaha, isn't it trendy? I went through a lot of trouble to find a guide to picking up girls, and then pretended to accidentally leave it on the table in the living room." Ike Hayakawa could no longer contain his excitement. "The guide said that athletic guys should dress like this. Hahaha... I even dressed like this on purpose once to strengthen my confidence in being gentle."
Ike Hayakawa does look very handsome in this outfit, but among the three Ike Hayakawas, none of them looks gentle and strong!
After opening the door, Wenrou poked his head out from the crack and looked carefully to both sides. When he saw that there was no one in the living room, he slowly walked out.
He was holding a large bouquet of bright red roses in his hand!
Even I covered my mouth, afraid that I would scream and be discovered by him.
After Wenrou closed the door carefully, she quickly left the apartment.
Cen Shengyuan's facial expression was a little distorted, and he said, "Chi Zaochuan, is this what you want to see?"
"yes!"
Without bothering to explain to Cen Shengyuan, Chi Zaochuan pulled Cen Shengyuan and me into my room, and lay on the windowsill looking at the artificial lake behind the Perfect Apartment.
Although it was already evening, it was still bright next to the artificial lake, and at least you could see the figure pacing back and forth under the tree.
The girl was wearing a lavender long skirt, with her hair tied up high, looking demure and elegant. But she seemed not to be used to such attire, and she touched her hair and tugged at her skirt.
Suddenly, Cen Shengyuan spoke up: "Is it a favor?"
Ike Hayakawa and I nodded at him at the same time.
"I overheard Wenrou's phone call this morning, but I don't know if Wenrou's confession will be successful."
I turned around and lay on the windowsill to continue watching, saying, "He is so romantic. I'm really envious!"
When I first learned that Wenrou and Eun-hye had been developing rapidly recently, I thought that Wenrou, who looked serious, would be the passive one.
did not expect……
It’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover!
Although her name is "Gentle", she doesn't look gentle at all, but she is really gentle towards Eun-hye!
"Indeed, I don't usually see him being so romantic." Ike Hayakawa also leaned on the windowsill and looked outside, "Look, look! The protagonist has appeared!"
I quickly looked carefully and saw Wen Rou, who was wearing clothes that did not match his style at all, walking slowly towards Eun Hui.
He hid a large bouquet of roses behind him, apparently wanting to give Eun-hye a surprise.
Chi Zaochuan and I looked over with wide eyes, and even Cen Shengyuan stood behind me and looked toward the lake. But we were surprised to see Wen Rou walk in front of En Hui, and she seemed too nervous, and she even raised her hand to scratch her head.
Idiot! So stupid!
If you want to scratch your head, just scratch it. Why raise the hand holding the rose?
Enhui immediately noticed Wenrou scratching her head, and immediately raised her hand in panic, as if she wanted to take the bouquet of roses in Wenrou's hand.
"Hurry up and pick it up, Eun-hye!"
I had forgotten that I was standing upstairs and Eun-hye couldn't hear me at all. Seeing this, I jumped up and shouted, "Hurry up and take it, Eun-hye! Hurry up and say yes!"
Just as I jumped up, I suddenly felt something hard hitting the back of my head...
"Hey! You crazy girl! What are you doing jumping up all of a sudden?"
Hearing Cen Shengyuan's voice, I turned around and looked at him, only to find that he was holding his chin and frowning in dissatisfaction.
Was it his chin that I hit just now?
Why is he standing so close?
Just when I wanted to apologize, I heard Chi Zaochuan exclaim: "Hey, both of you stop arguing, look quickly!"
"What's the matter?"
I quickly put aside my apology and turned around quickly. Cen Shengyuan didn't care about me and leaned over to the window.
But within my sight, I could no longer find those two people.
"You two missed each other, didn't you? Just now, Enhui reached out and hit Wenrou, then turned around and ran away."
Ran?
Isn't this totally inconsistent with Eun-hye's style?
"You two didn't see it. Eun-hye's move was not like her usual violent self. She probably couldn't even kill a mosquito, and then Wenrou chased after her... Tsk tsk..." Ike Hayakawa stood up, "Then Wenrou must have successfully caught up with Eun-hye and conquered her with her strength. I said Wenrou couldn't always be so gentle..."
Eun Hye ran away...
Gentleness caught up...
I actually missed such a classic shot. I really want to know what will happen next!
"Which direction did they go?" I looked up and asked Ike Hayakawa.
Chi Zaochuan pointed in a direction and said, "There, I think he's going to the small pavilion over there. Do you want to follow him?"
"Don't use such an ugly word like 'stalking'! I was just checking up on a good friend!"
Looking at the direction Chi Zaochuan pointed, I hurried out of the room, but when I was going downstairs, Cen Shengyuan called me.
I peeked inside and was about to go in to urge him, but I saw him coming out holding a piece of clothing.
Isn't this my coat?
Cen Shengyuan signaled me with his eyes to stretch out my hand, and then handed me the coat: "No wonder you caught a cold, you didn't even know to put on a coat. Walk over there through the gravel path next to the apartment, or you'll be discovered by Wenrou and beaten up."
It's just a coat, why does my nose feel a little sore?
I blinked my eyes desperately to prevent Cen Shengyuan from seeing my strange behavior, but he didn't seem to notice my expression. After saying this, he turned and walked into my room with an expressionless face, and then dragged Chi Zaochuan out of my room with an expressionless face. Seeing that I was still there, he frowned and said, "If you keep dawdling, you won't be able to see the good show."
Yes! I have to go quickly!
I must see how Eun Hye agrees to Woon.
As Cen Shengyuan said, after I walked out of the Perfect Apartment, I quickly found the gravel path and ran all the way there.
As I ran, I prayed silently in my heart: Enhui, Wenrou, please confess your love to me slowly!
As I ran along the path, the dense bushes on both sides suddenly became sparse, and a small Baroque pavilion made of white marble appeared before my eyes.
There were two people sitting together in the pavilion.
I quickly stopped, nimbly hid behind a big tree, and looked in the direction of the pavilion.
It is indeed gentle and gracious!
but……
Eun-hye was resting her head on Wen-wen's body, and Wen-wen had one hand around Eun-hye's waist.
Are these really the two people I know? I try to get closer to them, wanting to hear their whispers.
"Cen Shengyuan and Xiaomo have been dating for such a long time..."
Hey, this is a gentle voice. Why is he talking about me and Cen Shengyuan?
Ah, that's not right!
This is not the point. The point is, why did people say that Cen Shengyuan and I were dating?
Don’t Cen Shengyuan and I look like a relationship of master and poor maid?
"Cen Shengyuan and Xiaomo have been dating for such a long time..."
After hearing this, I was not only shocked, but I also found that my face turned red.
I suddenly remembered the kiss I had with Cen Shengyuan that day, and I felt as if I was surrounded by pink bubbles. Also, before I came out, Cen Shengyuan handed me his coat, and the way Cen Shengyuan rushed out to block me that day...
Just when I was in a daze, Enhui's voice suddenly came into my ears: "They are not dating yet, Xiaomo, that coward..."
Why did Eun-hye call me a coward?
Wenrou seemed surprised as well and said, "Xiaomo is a coward? What do you mean? I don't think so. Xiaomo has always been very silly and bold."
That's it! Gentleness, you are still the best!
When was I a coward?
But what do you mean when you say I'm stupid and bold?
"Cen Shengyuan has shown it so obviously, but Xiaomo still keeps backing off..." Enhui's voice rang out again, "But I didn't know that Cen Shengyuan was such a considerate and shy person."
"He just looks cold, but he's actually a very nice person. If he's really as cold as the legend says, how could Chi Zaochuan and I be so convinced of him? He's actually very innocent!"
"So..." Enhui suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh my God! Did I see Cen Shengyuan's first kiss?"
"What?" Wenrou seemed not to have heard Enhui's words clearly, so he asked.
Eun-hui changed the subject: "Nothing!"
Eun-hye must have remembered the word "forced kiss" that she heard in the closet that day.
Humph! I won't tell her that I lost my first kiss a long time ago.
But am I really backing off? Is Cen Shengyuan doing it too obviously?
Obviously, Cen Shengyuan didn't confess to me, even though we seem to be very close, but who knows if it's because of that damn contract...
Just when I was conflicted, I suddenly found that Wenrou and Enhui stood up and seemed to be ready to walk towards me.
If you are discovered, you will definitely be beaten up, Su Xiaomo, run!
When I ran to the Perfect Apartment out of breath, I found that the door of the Perfect Apartment was open.
Hey, did I forget to close the door?
I walked forward and saw the back of a person with long wavy brown hair, wearing a black one-piece and brown boots.
It is impossible for someone dressed so maturely in Best College to be a student. Could it be Cen Shengyan?
Didn't Cen Shengyuan say his sister wouldn't come until eight o'clock? Now...
I checked my phone and saw it was already eight o'clock.
what to do?
I nervously pulled my clothes and prepared to go in and say hello to Cen Shengyan, but just as I was adjusting my mood, I heard her voice: "No matter what, I won't allow you to date a girl like this!"
Is Cen Shengyan talking about me?
Why do you say that to me?
"It's none of your business who I date! Aren't you here to prepare for Holy Angel BLing? How do you still have time to care about who I date? It was Susie who said that, right? Are you like that stupid woman Susie, thinking that someone with a poor family background is not worthy of me?"
"I don't discriminate against her family background, but I absolutely will not allow a woman with bad intentions to be with my brother. Is her motive for being with you pure? I heard from Susie that it started out as her breaking into this apartment and then becoming your maid."
"She just got lost, and then opened the room where I kept my dirty clothes..." Cen Shengyuan's tone suddenly became a little helpless, "Sister, you know, I don't want outsiders to know..."
"Then I don't care! Why would you open someone else's door if you were lost? You can never be with a girl with such moral problems!"
Why did she say that? I was just lost and I opened the door out of curiosity.
"I don't have any moral issues!"
I had planned to do as Cen Shengyuan said, to keep quiet and wait for him to solve the problem. But why did Cen Shengyan have such a big prejudice against me? What did I do wrong?
I greeted her nicely this morning.
After I said this impulsively, Cen Shengyan turned around and looked at me in surprise.
"Didn't I tell you to stop talking, stupid girl!"
Cen Shengyuan frowned as he looked at me who suddenly appeared at the door. He walked over helplessly, pulled me in, and then let me sit on the chair opposite Cen Shengyan.
After doing all this, he also sat down and looked at Cen Shengyan seriously.
“Sister, I don’t know what Susie said to you, but do you believe Susie or me?”
Cen Shengyan didn't seem to expect Cen Shengyuan to say that. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "Of course I believe in my brother, but I'm afraid you will..."
Cen Shengyuan also raised his eyebrows and said, "Sister, I am your brother. Since you trust me, you have to trust my judgment. You only heard from Su Qian about what kind of person Su Xiaomo is, but I have been with Su Xiaomo for so long, I believe she is definitely not the kind of girl you imagine. The Su Xiaomo I know is a simple and adorable fool."
Hey! Cen Shengyuan! Are you sure you are praising me?
I looked at Cen Shengyuan angrily, but I felt a little touched in my heart.
After hearing what Cen Shengyuan said, Cen Shengyan seemed even angrier.
"Cen Shengyuan, I'm your sister! You actually spoke to me in this tone just for Su Xiaomo. No matter what you think, a girl like this must not be with you, and I heard that she even spread rumors among her classmates. Is this the girl you call a 'cute idiot'?" Cen Shengyan stood up angrily and grabbed her bag. "Shengyuan, you disappoint me so much! I tell you, she must move out of here before the anniversary celebration, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to her!"
Looking at Cen Shengyan who walked out of the perfect apartment angrily, my nose felt a little sore and the world in front of me suddenly became a little blurry.
Why did she do this to me?
I couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears on the table.
“Wuwuwu… Why is it like this? I was just dressed simply, why did they want to frame me? What did I do wrong… Why did she make such a judgment about what kind of person I am based on a few words she heard? She didn’t even give me a chance to explain… Wuwuwu… Mom… I miss you so much…”
I cried until I was hoarse, but I didn't feel any reaction from Cen Shengyuan. I wiped my tears vigorously, looked up, and found that Cen Shengyuan was talking on the phone far away from me.
"Cen Shengyuan..."
I called out softly, but Cen Shengyuan seemed not to hear me.
"Cen Shengyuan..."
This time he seemed to hear me, but he just waved at me.
Seeing Cen Shengyuan waving at me to signal me to be quiet, I silently suppressed my tears, turned around, went upstairs, and returned to my room.
