Chapter 9

After speaking, she stood up and intended to leave

Later, the two gradually began to date. Cheng Yi treated her very well and was very gentle, and she felt quite fond of Cheng Yi

It is unclear whether Cheng Yi spoke such words with her cousin, but in any case, this matter has been settled.

Now, when such things truly happen around me, it brings about a different state of mind. Just like what my second aunt said—if only in this world, lovers could finally be together.

Dr. Zheng observed that the previously fractured area of Cheng Yi had healed well after being realigned, and it was no longer prone to dislocation. He then advised him to engage in more physical activity to enhance blood circulation and prevent muscle atrophy

When the incident with Zhou Honghong occurred, Cheng Yi was quite disdainful, as the old man clearly intended for him to pick up the broken shoes

Cheng Yi became a mistress without being aware of it

After this incident, Cheng Yi became increasingly indiscreet in his words towards Zhou Honghong, hurling all sorts of vulgarities at her

This man came to visit relatives in Wushan Town, staying for only one summer vacation before returning to the city. Shi Jieyi fell in love with him at first sight, and after his departure, the two maintained correspondence for a period of time

Later, Zhou Honghong awkwardly returned to ask him: "Do you think what you said is feasible?"

Cheng Yi twisted the cigarette, shot her a glare, and felt that her feedback was utterly worthless. "How would I know? I've never seen it."

Even if the male lead is despicable and the male supporting character is excellent, the female lead ultimately chooses the male lead

Ah, isn't your main concern to tell the old man that we are back together? Isn't it just about wanting me to be your man?

Do you have no shame

Zhou Honghong is a bit angry. "What is there to laugh about? If things go wrong, my cousin will end up in jail"

However, she no longer met with Cheng Yi. She prepared the medicine package at her own home and sent it over. She made an excuse that she needed to advance her studies and was under great academic pressure, so she stayed in her own room

He smiled slyly, not answering her

Zhou Honghong was at a loss for words in response to his hostility, but his heartbreak was the greatest. She could only say: "Take good care of yourself and focus on recovering your health first"

Cheng Yi let out a faint sigh. "How about it, Zhou Honghong, why don't you follow me?"

Cheng Yi watched her retreating figure in panic and coldly snorted, "None of us are innocent anymore, so why pretend to be pure?"

One day, Zhou Honghong delivered a medicine package, and coincidentally, the second concubine was not at home. She intended to leave it and walk away, but was blocked by Cheng Yi in the courtyard.

I mean, your cousin, not only does he have an ordinary appearance and no money, but his skills in bed are also lacking

The best way to heal from a relationship is to start a new one, so she accepted Cheng Yi

Zhou Honghong thought, it has been more than a month, the old man should have calmed down by now. She asked him, "How about we go to the old man together?"

Are you saying that we ... ...

She devoted herself wholeheartedly to pulling him back from the brink of despair. She could not bear to see him alone in his sorrow, so she stayed by his side, talking about this and that. Dr. Zheng's medicinal pouch needed to be mixed with alcohol, and in order to ensure the mixture was neither too thin nor too thick, she did not dare to leave the medicine pot for even a moment during the steaming process. She knew that the second concubine was incapable of handling household chores, so she took on almost all the responsibilities. This summer vacation, she revolved around him entirely.

Is your cousin wealthy

Could you please refrain from speaking in an unpleasant manner

After Shi Jieyi learned that Cheng Yi was beaten up for her sake, she felt even more guilty—she could no longer be a burden to Cheng Yi

The whole world believes that she committed suicide for Cheng Yi, and even Cheng Yi himself thinks so.

Zhou Honghong thought that since the old master was currently turning a blind eye, there was no need to rush

He smiled slightly. "Since they are a couple, if he makes that woman feel good, can she still go and accuse him when she is dying of desire?"

He suddenly laughed

"Then let's just continue the performance," he said, raising the corner of his mouth at Zhou Honghong, his expression full of mockery. "Zhou Honghong, I am your man again."

The son of my brother-in-law has been in a relationship with a young lady for over six months, and both families have met. One day, in a romantic setting, they became intimate with each other

I have matters to attend to at home. I must return first. Zhou Honghong did not want to discuss the previous incident at all and intended to bypass him.

"What is the point of this?" Zhou Honghong said with a bitter smile. "If you want to please the old master, then take me along. But on any day you find me displeasing, you will just kick me out. Cheng Yi, I am not your possession"

He cast her a sidelong glance and smiled impudently. "You want me to be your man so much, huh"

Zhou Honghong took a while to realize what he was saying, and at that moment, her face turned red as she stammered, "You... you... are so vulgar!"

Thus, Cheng Yi began to walk around the courtyard

One day, Zhou Honghong asked him if he could go to the old master to plead for mercy.

She does not want to cry in front of him

Although Shi Jieyi is melancholic about the changing seasons, she is unable to let go, and her emotions rise and fall with him

Shi Jieyi always believed that she loved Cheng Yi very much. When her parents did not approve, she worked hard to win their approval

Zhou Honghong threw the book at him. "You can read it yourself."

What do you mean by you

That is out of the question, he concluded

I will go with you to the old gentleman's place, and we will continue the performance.

This story took Zhou Honghong by surprise. After reviewing it again, she hesitantly asked, "Is the man really handsome?"

At that time, Shi Jieyi had been neglected by that man for quite a while, and after reading some youthful and melancholic literature, she reflected on her pain and vowed to overcome her emotional wounds

He moved slightly in her direction, blocking her path

That day, the brother-in-law called Mother Zhou, angrily scolding his own son in a fit of rage.

However, Zhou Honghong felt that he was becoming increasingly audacious towards her

He began to pursue Shi Jieyi

Hearing this, Zhou Honghong looked at him in disbelief, unable to stop her body from trembling

Cheng Yi called out to her. "Don't tell anyone else about my matter."

She took the initiative to confess to Cheng Yi about the course of events, and finally said: "Cheng Yi, I am sorry"

Cheng Yi is like the male supporting character in a novel, treating her exceptionally well. She feels at ease and warm around him, but she does not possess the profound and unforgettable feelings she has for the male lead

I am speaking to you about serious matters She is about to be infuriated She does not even know why she is so concerned about him

Zhou Honghong's cousin argued that the two were deeply in love, but to everyone's surprise, the young lady refused to come forward

She trembled and trembled, yet could not utter a word. In the end, she swallowed the lump in her throat and silently turned to walk out.

Cheng Yi loves to maintain appearances; even after his breakup, he still acts as if nothing has happened

"Cut it out, I am kindly giving you advice," Cheng said, her ears turning red as she scoffed.

Zhou's mother lent a sum of money to her brother-in-law, asking him to first appease the woman's family and try to settle the matter amicably

Aunt Er is sorry for delaying Zhou Honghong's studies. Additionally, her culinary skills have improved, and she can now prepare basic dishes, so she has not paid much attention to the changes in Zhou Honghong.

She felt both shy and angry, sometimes truly wishing to give him a good beating

He said nonchalantly, "Whatever"

During her hospitalization, she thought a great deal

The woman's family demanded monetary compensation, and when her brother-in-law was unable to gather the required amount in time, they threatened to take the matter to court. The brother-in-law was in a state of panic.

She suddenly found herself inexplicably plunged into a profound sadness, feeling as if a part of her heart had collapsed. That heartache was even less than one-tenth of what she felt when she saw Zhou Honghong with Cheng Yi.

Zhou Honghong had also read light novels in her earlier years, and she found similar plots to be quite common. However, she always viewed them from the perspective that the female protagonist should love the male protagonist, and she even expressed that she was not pleased to see the male supporting character rise in status

Before she met Cheng Yi, Shi Jieyi had liked a man

Cheng Yi lazily leaned against the edge of the bed. "How does your cousin look?"

Zhou Honghong stepped out of the house and went to sit in the courtyard

Cheng Yi coldly said: "What can be done? This situation is exactly to the old master's liking."

However, a few days later, the woman's family came to the door, claiming that the man had committed rape and threatened to sue him

Injury to muscles and bones takes one hundred days to heal. Cheng Yi's injury has improved, but the recovery is relatively slow

"I was wrong to say that last time, please don't be like this." Cheng Yi looked at her stiff expression and softened a little.

Zhou Honghong watched but did not know how to comfort him; however, when he was smoking, she would go and snatch it away. Cheng Yi's fractured area had not completely healed, and fearing it would dislocate again, he did not dare to move recklessly and could only let her take it. After a while, he became too lazy to smoke.

However, on the day when the old gentleman passed away, she received a letter from that wealthy and handsome man—he was going abroad

"How do you want me to sound nice? Just because you took me and my mother in, does that mean I owe you my body?" Cheng Yi once again displayed that mocking expression. "I have a cleanliness obsession regarding this matter, and you have already let Cheng Hao take advantage of me."

She never knew that Cheng Yi looked at her this way

When Cheng Yi finished speaking, Zhou Honghong was left in a daze for quite some time. The room fell into a moment of silence

Zhou Honghong mentioned this matter while writing a letter to Cheng Yinian

Cheng Yi had no way to deal with her, and seeing that she did not mind, he ultimately agreed.

Later, Mother Zhou conveyed it to Zhou Honghong, who was taken aback.

She believes that she will be able to continue her life with Cheng Yi

She looked up at Cheng Yi's window, which was still closed

How is it possible

As the days passed, Cheng Yi, feeling increasingly bored, asked Zhou Honghong to read some books to him or to chat with him. Their interactions gradually became more familiar.

It is likely that she prefers righteousness, which is why she cannot appreciate the allure of the unconventional. Zhou Honghong wanted to say this, but she held back.

Understood

At this moment, Cheng Yi appeared

According to her, he is a paragon of elegance, with starry brows and sharp eyes, possessing a refined demeanor, a face like a jade crown, and so forth

At this moment, the poignant and melancholic writing of youth played a significant role; after reading a certain piece, she wept inconsolably and suddenly found herself in despair, consuming sleeping pills

She fell silent for a moment before asking, "So... what do you plan to do?"

He continued to say: "Tell your cousin to exercise well and then go to that woman again; once she feels comfortable, she will be willing."

She was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak

Zhou Honghong could no longer hold back and made a call to her cousin, then handed the phone to Cheng Yi. "You talk to him," she said before leaving the room.

She knows that Shi Jieyi has had a significant impact on Cheng Yi; otherwise, he would not have confided in her. The two of them are far from being that close.

This man, due to his good looks, is notoriously flirtatious, enjoying casual physical interactions, and is often inconsistent in his affections towards Shi Jieyi.

"Just an ordinary person." Zhou Honghong found him truly baffling

However, Shi Jieyi believes that this is a turning point in his relationship with the old master, and advises him to seize this opportunity well

The overwhelming sadness surged towards Zhou Honghong, and the mocking expression on Cheng Yi's face made her feel like a colossal joke.

Zhou Honghong continued to prepare medicine for Cheng Yi, as the second concubine was completely unable to grasp the proper measure
