“... Don't let this relationship become a regret because of your own entanglement or external factors.”
In the end, Xia Sanghuan read it out directly.
She silently pondered over these words in her heart, and the face of Leng Chuanjin involuntarily flashed across her mind.
What should she do?
She buried her face in her arms.
She knew that she had overreacted this time. But whenever she saw the man smiling at others, she couldn't help feeling sad and angry.
But what right did she have to be angry with him?
Not to mention being his lover—she wasn't even his sister.
...
With something weighing on her mind, she was a bit distracted during today's experiment.
After helping the girl pick up the knocked - over conical flask for the third time, Professor He asked with some concern.
“Sanghuan, are you a bit too tired?”
After all, these days she had been researching drugs for Jing Zhan and still managed to spare time to prepare drugs for the patients she had taken over. Anyone would be overwhelmed.
“I'm fine.”
The girl forced a smile.
She was indeed tired, but not to that extent. She just had something on her mind.
After a day's research, she put the drugs developed for the patient into a medicine jar. When the next treatment process started, the patient could take them.
If the patient's body was highly compatible with the medicine, they would only need to take it two or three times to completely get rid of the disease.
She smiled contentedly and put the medicine jar into her backpack.
She habitually took out her phone to check if there were any messages.
The phone showed that she had received two text messages. One was from Leng Chuanjin, and the other was from He Wei.
She first opened the one from her second brother: I may be a bit late today. Please wait for me.
She pursed her lips, and a feeling she couldn't quite describe welled up in her heart.
Although her attitude towards him had been bad these two days, he didn't say much and still picked her up and dropped her off as usual.
“Okay.”
She replied and then opened the one from He Wei.
“There's something wrong with the patient's latest data report. Shall I send it to your school?”
This text message was sent twenty minutes ago. From the two missed calls from He Wei, it seemed that he was in a hurry.
So the girl simply called him back directly.
“Why did you answer the phone so late?”
He Wei said crossly.
“Don't complain. Are you at the school now?”
“I'm already at the school gate.”
“Wait there.”
After saying that, the girl hung up the phone and quickly walked towards the school gate.
When she reached the school gate, He Wei was indeed waiting there with a folder in his arms.
She took the folder and discussed the patient's condition with him for a few words.
“How are you going back? Do you want me to give you a ride?”
Just as He Wei asked this question, Xia Sanghuan saw Leng Chuanjin's car.
And the woman sitting in the passenger seat.
She felt a tremor in her heart, followed by a dull pain.
What exactly did he mean to her?
When she was angry, he tried every means to get her to go back. But when she calmed down, there was another woman beside him.
Xia Sanghuan tried hard to look calm.
She raised her head and hooked the corner of her mouth at He Wei.
“Okay, thanks.”
Then she followed him to where his car was parked without giving Leng Chuanjin a single look.
Would he be angry if he saw this?
Would he chase after her?
Or... do nothing?
The girl didn't dare to think any further.
Leng Chuanjin frowned tightly as he watched Xia Sanghuan walk away side by side with He Wei.
He wanted to drive after them, but there were many students and cars on this road, and the road was a bit congested, making it impossible for him to move forward.
He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and his thin lips were unconsciously pursed together.
“Aren't you going to chase after her?”
Kong Li asked beside him.
“No need.”
Leng Chuanjin said in a soft voice.
He turned the car around, dropped Kong Li off, and then went home.
When he got home, Xia Sanghuan hadn't come back yet.
Where had she gone?
He thought as he took off his coat.
Hadn't he already told her that he would be late?
Didn't she see the message?
Or did she deliberately ignore it?
The man's mood became more and more restless.
How could things turn out like this just because he hadn't watched over her for a few days?
Just when he was so annoyed that he was about to tear the newspaper in his hand, the girl finally came back.
She walked into the house as if nothing had happened just now.
The scene of her chatting with He Wei kept flashing in front of Leng Chuanjin's eyes.
He should have thought of it earlier.
The two of them had seemed very familiar with each other before.
Even when he sent her to the hospital, he could see He Wei waiting for her nine times out of ten.
“Didn't you receive the text message?”
he asked.
“I did.”
Xia Sanghuan replied indifferently.
“Then why didn't you wait a little longer?”
“I didn't want to.”
The girl changed her slippers and was about to bypass him and go upstairs while saying this, but he grabbed her hand.
“Didn't want to?”
“Then what did you want to do?”
“Want to leave with He Wei?”
His voice involuntarily rose a bit.
“What does it matter to you?”
The girl frowned and looked back at him.
“I'm not even your sister. You can't control so much, right?”
Hearing this, Leng Chuanjin felt a pang in his heart.
He opened his mouth but couldn't find a reason to refute her.
Seeing the man's reaction, Xia Sanghuan's heart skipped a beat.
Why was he so angry?
Was he angry because she didn't listen to him or because she left with He Wei?
“Then I won't pick you up anymore.”
“After school, you can go with whoever you like.”
As he said this, he let go of her hand.
The girl bit her lower lip.
“Okay.”
“Anyway, I'm going to fall in love soon. If Brother Chuanjin doesn't pick me up, I can go with the boy I like...”
Before she could finish the second half of the sentence, it was sealed in her mouth.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the face that was magnified several times in front of her.
There was a slightly cool touch on her lips, soft and with the man's unique fragrance.
Leng Chuanjin was kissing her.
When she realized this, she panicked and tried to take a step back, but the man grabbed her waist.
His other hand pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her head.
He brutally pressed her against the wall, completely blocking her way.
She could feel him licking and gently biting her lower lip. Their tightly - pressed lips began to heat up.
They were going to melt.
This was the only thought left in her mind as she was kissed senseless.
“Concentrate.”
The man said in a low voice and then kissed her again.
The man's hand that had been holding her chin covered her eyes. The suddenly dimmed vision instantly heightened the sensitivity of her other senses.
She could feel Leng Chuanjin breathing in her ear.
“Close your eyes when you kiss.”
