When Cheng Xichen saw her looking down at his hand, he realized that he grabbed her arm out of desperation.
He was startled, then withdrew his hand abruptly, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I should have scratched you."
Huang Ling smiled and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt."
The pain in the body is nothing compared to the pain in the heart.
She raised her eyes, looked at Cheng Xichen, and said in a relaxed tone: "You don't need to tell your father, I'm not worth it."
"Students, and I... I..." Cheng Xichen hesitated to speak, a touch of boyish shyness surfaced in his heart, making his ears blush.
"You what?" Huang Ling asked.
Cheng Xichen pursed his lips, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "You may not believe in love at first sight, but I do have this kind of affection for you."
"Love at first sight...?" Huang Ling muttered, "Love at first sight... can it last forever?"
"This is just a way of getting acquainted. Whether it can last for a long time or not depends on how two people get along and love each other." Cheng Xichen said.
"You are the young master of the mayor's family. You are handsome. There are many girls who like you, right? Why don't you have a girlfriend?" Huang Ling asked curiously.
"There are girls who chase me, but I don't like them, and I keep a low profile. At school, even my upper berth doesn't know that I'm the mayor's son." Cheng Xichen said, looking at Huang Ling, as if reassuring : "Huang Ling, I will let my dad protect you!"
"No need." Huang Ling looked into Cheng Xichen's eyes: "Do you think that felons will be locked up in such a good prison? There are such good meals, books to pass the time, and soft beds to sleep in."
Cheng Xichen took a look around the room. Although the place is small, it's okay. It's even better than he imagined.
There is a separate bathroom, a place to cool clothes, and a window for air circulation.
Cheng Xichen was surprised: "Could it be that they know you're not the murderer?"
"No, it's Gu Yanhao."
She vaguely heard what Gu Yanhao said to them in the serious crime team, "Huang Ling is my sister".
"Gu...President?"
Huang Ling nodded.
Cheng Xichen opened his eyes slightly and looked at Huang Ling: "What's your relationship with the president?"
Huang Ling smiled lightly: "Brothers and sisters."
Cheng Xichen was astonished when he heard this.
Afterwards, he smiled, "In ancient times, I would have fallen in love with the princess. By the way, why don't you eat?"
Hearing that Gu Yanhao was protecting her, Cheng Xichen breathed a sigh of relief.
The thought of the girl being shot made his breathing difficult.
Huang Ling sat up, "I'm not hungry."
"Not hungry or no appetite?"
"It's because you don't have an appetite that you don't feel hungry."
"You will collapse like this. You have said that you are the president's sister, and the shooting will not happen. I believe the president will return your innocence."
"..."
"During the time you are in prison, you should eat well, and don't get out of prison at that time, and you have to spend money to see a doctor."
"..."
Cheng Xichen brought the rice to Huang Ling.
Huang Ling glanced at the rice in his hand and shook her head: "I can't eat it."
"You didn't kill anyone yourself, and you are still in such a depressed mood with your brother protecting you?"
"It's not depression, it's heartache."
"For..." What, Cheng Xichen thought for a while and asked, "For Coach Mo?"
Huang Ling didn't hide anything and nodded.
"With a president, his prosecution may not be successful."
"I don't care about the result, I care about why he doesn't believe me? Shouldn't he be looking for evidence for me to find the murderer? Is there still time to prosecute?"
So, in the final analysis, he doesn't love himself and doesn't believe in himself.
