Zhao Chuning couldn't even breathe. He felt as if his heart was soaked in a cold pond, almost suffocating, and the cold made him tremble all over. His hands were on the steering wheel, and his fingertips trembled several times, but he couldn't press the start button.
"Chu Chu, I'm telling you, you're not allowed to see this kind of person again! He's simply going too far!" Zhang Rong finally spoke, furious, "Does he really like getting girls pregnant and being irresponsible? He got another woman pregnant, and now he's coming to you to propose marriage! He really thinks we women are easy to bully and that he can do whatever he wants. Tell me, why did you fall for such an irresponsible man in the first place?"
Zhao Chuning pursed his pale lips and wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't utter a single word.
With sore eyes, she looked ahead, and all she could see was a white blur. Thinking back to the lingering and deep kiss he gave her before she left last night, it seemed like a dream.
"Mom, sit down. I'll go take Mimi's schoolbag." She sat there for a long time before finally finding her voice. But she paused once before she could finish the sentence.
Zhang Rong felt upset and thought her daughter was being bullied. She wanted to curse a few times to vent her anger, but when she saw her daughter looking distraught, she knew she was feeling even worse, so she held back and said nothing.
Zhao Chuning started the car and drove towards the school. She tried very hard to concentrate so as not to be distracted.
The cell phone placed aside kept vibrating.
Zhao Chuning glanced subconsciously. The number on the screen made her blink, and a thin layer of mist seeped out of her eyelashes. But she just raised her chin, swallowed the bitterness, and turned her eyes away, pretending that it had disappeared.
Zhang Rong sighed.
"Chu Chu, don't be sad. There are all kinds of men in the world. You can't have rich boys like them. How can they cherish each other? Just now, you see, the brother-in-law and sister-in-law were mixed together. Is this reasonable? The relationship is so messed up, really."
"Mom, please turn off my phone for me." Zhao Chuning talked while driving, ignoring what she had just said.
Zhang Rong glanced at her and turned off her phone.
She drove to Mimi's school.
"Mom, just wait for me in the car. I'll go get the kid a schoolbag."
When she spoke, it looked like nothing had happened, but Zhang Rong knew her best. Uneasy, she took off her seat belt and said, "I'll go with you."
"Don't. You have to climb the stairs, and your body can't handle it. Besides, it's quite cold outside." Zhao Chuning held the old lady down and wrapped himself in a scarf.
Without waiting for the old lady to say anything, she pushed open the car door and got out.
"Backpack! Backpack!" the old lady reminded in the car.
She seemed to have just come to her senses and turned around to pick up her schoolbag.
There was a heater in the car, but it was freezing cold outside. She shivered in the heat and cold, but it made her more awake.
In fact, she had nothing to be sad about. It was just that everything had returned to the starting point.
She just treated his words about marrying her last night as a joke.
But she took it seriously last night.
So, at this moment, I feel so uncomfortable.
She carried her schoolbag and walked to her child's classroom in a trance. Now everyone was in class, the whole school was quiet, and there was only the whistling sound of the wind in her ears.
Halfway through her walk, she suddenly stopped. At this moment, Tang Yi was standing under the elementary school building. When she saw him, he also looked at her. When their eyes met, Zhao Chuning held her breath, and a bitter feeling surged in her heart. Perhaps because of the strong wind, her eye sockets were sore and painful.
She took a deep breath, rolled up her scarf tighter, and walked towards the elementary school building. She looked away slightly, as if she hadn't seen him.
There was something quite wrong with this woman at this moment.
Before she could walk towards him, Tang Yi took a step forward with his long legs.
She subconsciously tried to avoid him. Tang Yi raised his hand, clasped the back of her head with his five fingers, and lifted her face up.
"Tang Yi!" Zhao Chuning held back and frowned as she called him. Because this was a quiet campus, she tried to keep her voice down, but the displeasure in her tone was clearly audible.
"Why didn't you answer my call?" he asked calmly.
"Let me go." Zhao Chuning didn't answer, she just tried to pry his hands apart. However, his strength was not enough to shake her at all.
He narrowed his sexy eyes and looked at her. Clearly seeing the dark circles under her eyes, he relaxed his grip a little and his expression softened. "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Let me go first."
Tang Yi not only did not let go, but tightened his arms and hugged her to him. Zhao Chuning took a deep breath and reminded: "Tang Yi, this is a school!"
"Don't worry, the windows in the classrooms are all closed." In order to prevent students from being distracted, the school installed frosted glass. Now it is such a cold winter, and the windows of every classroom are tightly closed.
He moved his five fingers from the back of her head to her delicate little face, and his fingertips gently caressed her delicate skin. He fixed his eyes on hers, his eyes were deep and complex, like a whirlpool that could make people indulge in it. Zhao Chuning heard his sexy voice whispering, "I didn't sleep well last night either."
Tang Yi was full of his unique evil energy. However, he was not as violent and rough as before, but instead exuded a gentleness that he had never had before. He was full of temptation and could easily drag people into the bottomless abyss.
Zhao Chuning's eyelashes trembled, and her heart felt sour and bitter, so astringent, and so painful.
My heart was filled with ups and downs.
She held Tang Yi's hand. Her palm was cold, but his was hot.
She took his hand off her face, and her expression gradually turned cold. "I will talk to Mimi clearly when she comes back tonight."
Tang Yi stared at her intently. Her repeated indifference finally made him lose his patience. The gentleness on his face disappeared and he asked in a cold voice, "What do you want to clarify?"
"You won't marry me."
"When did I say that?" Tang Yi lowered his voice, and returned to his condescending tone, staring at her with an intimidating gaze.
"To be precise, I won't marry you." She said it again, every word clearly. She clenched the schoolbag in her hand tightly. Her fingertips dug into her flesh.
Tang Yi sneered, "Last night you said I was in need of love, but now it seems that you are the one who is in need of love. I have to love you before I can marry you. Hmm?"
"I'll go in first." Zhao Chuning didn't want to talk about this topic anymore and turned to leave.
Looking at the back, Tang Yi frowned. An indescribable impulse suddenly swept over him and hit his chest hard. As if he had a lot to say, he grabbed her elbow and pulled her back, "Zhao Chuning, if, I mean if, I love..."
