Chapter 6, Three People

Watching Chu Yang, dressed in a long shirt and trousers, skillfully climb out of the back seat while carrying a large bag and a small bag, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt that being young was truly wonderful. Although she was only in her twenties, compared to Chu Yang, she realized that she had indeed grown old.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, we can sell my sister to someone else, and then we can use the money from her sale to have a nice meal," Chu Yang, who was sitting in the back, suddenly interjected. Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Jingzhi, who was sitting in front, turned around and slapped him on the head.

Zhang Jing's mood is indeed not very good. In the eyes of others, Xiao Xiao is beautiful, cheerful, enthusiastic, and even promiscuous, but she knows that those are not all of Xiao Xiao.

When Zhang Jingzhi saw Chu Yang again, she was shopping alone

They became close friends, yet Xiaoxiao never mentioned the reason for her tears to Zhang Jingzhi. Some people choose to keep their scars buried deep in their hearts, refusing to reveal them even to their own family or closest friends. Some pains, even when shared, remain deeply painful; thus, the best approach is to bury them in the heart, never to see the light of day.

Is it true or not

Seeing a long-haired girl in sunglasses greeting her, Zhang Jingzhi was momentarily taken aback. It was not until the girl lifted her sunglasses that Zhang Jingzhi realized that the stylishly dressed girl in front of her was none other than the tomboyish Chen Chuyang!

Xiao Xiao, young, beautiful, and from a well-off family, should not have any sadness in the eyes of others

"Heartless girl, whose sister are you? Who just paid your bill?" Zhang Jing scolded with wide eyes

Xiao Xiao shook her head with a smile; facing someone as reliant on her looks as Zhang Jingzhi, she truly had no choice. If it meant drawing blood, then so be it.

In McDonald's, since it is not mealtime, there are not too many people.

When Xiaoxiao received the call, she was indeed working overtime. The big boss, for some unknown reason, only arrived at the company close to noon. At this point, naturally, the work was not finished, and since the boss had not left, Xiaoxiao, as the assistant, could not leave either

I asked with a raised eyebrow, smiling, "You are being unreasonable, aren't you? If you were to stay at my house! Chu Yang is still a student, so I won't let her treat you, but as her sister, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Underworld? Zhang Jingzhi was somewhat shocked, as this was far removed from her life! She looked at Chu Yang in disbelief, wondering how everything was fine and yet he had gotten involved with the underworld.

Zhang Jingzhi looked at Chu Yang's long hair, still unable to wrap her head around it. Twisting perfectly good hair and then making it into a wig to wear back on one's own head, could this really be the latest fashion? How come she had never even heard of it?

Sister, you have to help me this time!" Chu Yang repeated.

"Would you like to pledge yourself to me?" Zhang Jingzhi asked fiercely

It was from that occasion that Zhang Jingzhi realized that Xiao Xiao was far from as happy as she appeared. There was a scar in her heart, and although Zhang Jingzhi still had not figured out what lay beneath that scar, she had never asked about it

Xiao Xiao first took Zhang Jingzhi back, and then drove Chu Yang back to her small apartment

Sometimes, youth may truly have nothing to do with age. After experiencing much, even if one still appears young on the outside, one may already feel that the heart is willing but the body is weak, thought Xiaoxiao

Zhang Jingzhi was somewhat displeased, stopped the shopping cart, and looked at Chu Yang with a serious expression. "Chu Yang, I do not allow you to speak of Xiao Xiao in that manner. She is a person of great discretion and also a very good girl. Since she has invited you to stay over, she would not bring someone to her home without consideration."

Zhang Jing hung up the phone and looked at Chu Yang, "Alright, the accommodation has been arranged. Are you going back to pack your daily necessities?"

Go back? Chu Yang shook his head, isn't that just walking into a trap? Lily called this morning and said that someone is already waiting downstairs!

"Really! I don't even dare to return to the place I rented, and I don't want to go back home. Sister, you have to help me find a place to live!" Chu Yang said

"No money?" Zhang Jing cast a sidelong glance at Chu Yang, "Today this little girl has taken five hundred dollars from me!" Then he turned to Xiao Xiao, unwilling to accept it, and said, "No way, you have to treat me to a good meal today, I need to get my money back!"

However, she still called Xiao Xiao and informed her about Chu Yang's situation

When Xiaoxiao picked up Zhang Jingzhi and Chu Yang at the supermarket entrance in her little red car, it was already past 8 PM. Watching Zhang Jingzhi stuff a large number of items into the car, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Ladies, is the supermarket free today?"

After the three of them had dinner outside, Zhang Jingzhi wanted to go to Xiaoxiao's place to help Chu Yang tidy up, but was refused by Chu Yang, "Alright, sister, you should hurry back, otherwise, who knows how long Auntie will keep questioning you!"

Zhang Jingzhi, feeling helpless, glanced at the clock and quickly made a phone call home to inform them that she would not be returning for dinner that evening. She then went to accompany Chu Yang to the supermarket, thinking that at the very least, they should buy some daily necessities. After all, she couldn't just send a living person like Chu Yang over there alone

Sister, you must help me!" said Chu Yang

"What happened? Is your aunt causing you trouble again?" Zhang Jing asked

Xiao Xiao shook her head, "No! Even if you are a beautiful woman, it doesn't matter; I am not a lesbian, so why would I need you?"

"I don't have any issues here, let her come and stay," Xiao Xiao glanced at the inner room and asked in a lowered voice, "When will she come over?"

I looked for that flirtatious woman, Xiao Xiao, but she said she had no time and was working overtime! Overtime? Who knows if she is working overtime in the office or in bed! Zhang Jingzhi thought with a hint of malice

Sister, that Xiaoxiao doesn't often bring men home, does she?" Chu Yang casually asked while tossing a bath towel into the shopping cart, "I have a light sleep and can be disturbed.

"Then that's settled! Enough with the nonsense, if you need someone, I'm your person. I have no money, so you will treat me to dinner tonight!" Zhang Jing said in a manner that was both shameless and brazen.

Xiao Xiao slightly furrowed her brows. It was not a problem for Chu Yang to move over, but she did not expect it to be so urgent. However, Xiao Xiao did not say much, only stating: "Then let her prepare a bit. I will pick her up after work. Today, the boss is in a bad mood, so let's not talk too much. We can discuss matters in person."

Zhang Jingzhi asked Chu Yang over there, saying: "Today."

Having a relationship with the opposite sex leads to a loss of humanity; this truth is not gender-specific

He hung up the phone right after speaking

Zhang Jingzhi realized that this was indeed the case. These days, she had been preoccupied with secretly admiring a handsome guy, and her mother had not mentioned anything further about her arranged marriage. She was still unaware of how perplexed her mother must be. If she returned home this late again today, her mother might very well be preparing an interrogation for her.

Zhang Jing took two steps forward, as if still feeling indignant about Chu Yang's earlier remarks regarding her friend. She continued, "Perhaps you do not understand her lifestyle habits, but that is her own business, and no one has the right to interfere. Moreover, she has not harmed anyone."

Chu Yang shook his head, thinking to himself that he actually hoped it was her who was causing him trouble, but this time it was not! She nervously glanced around and then leaned in closer, whispering: "Sister, it seems I have offended the underworld!"

She still clearly remembers that summer vacation in her freshman year when she returned to the dormitory from home to get some things. Upon opening the door, she saw Xiaoxiao sitting alone on the upper bunk, crying loudly. Although she covered her mouth with her hand, the heart-wrenching cries still struggled to escape through her fingers, crying until her voice was hoarse, crying so unrestrainedly. Before that, she had never seen Xiaoxiao cry.

If she wants me to know, she will naturally tell me, thought Zhang Jingzhi

Zhang Jingzhi was also somewhat worried! This cousin rarely opened up to her, but this time, she had to help her no matter what. Thus, she thought of Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao lived alone, but that promiscuous woman! She would probably often bring men home, leaving her cousin there, which made Zhang Jingzhi feel a bit uneasy

Chu Yang stuck out his tongue, thinking to himself that she was being overly protective. He hadn't said anything about her at all. Noticing that Zhang Jingzhi's expression was not very good, he decided not to say anything further and silently followed her, stuffing items into the shopping cart. It was not easy to catch this sister once, so there was no need to be polite.

Chu Yang shook his head, saying that going to his aunt's house was not as good as returning to his own home

"Are you coming home with me?" Zhang Jing asked. She had always lived at home, and finding a place to stay on short notice was indeed a bit challenging for her.

Lily has secretly sent her a message, saying that those people are looking for her, and advised her not to return home during these days. This situation has made Chu Yang quite troubled; not only has she lost her income, but she also temporarily has no place to stay! Since her family is in the city, she has never applied for school accommodation, and it is unlikely to do so at the last minute. Returning home is something Chu Yang genuinely does not want to do, fearing that if she goes back on the first day, her mother will arrange a blind date for her the very next day! Therefore, she thought of her cousin, Xie Zhangjing.
