Chapter 50

The interview was over, and Shen Chutang followed the staff to the backstage. Shi Chengyu was waiting for her in the lounge.

She was dressed up for the occasion, as she was going to be on camera. The silver tie clip on his tie was dazzling under the lights.

“Tangtang, were you tired waiting?”

Shen Chutang took off her mask, “Not at all, it was fun. I want to come again next time.”

Shi Chengyu took her hand, “There won’t be many next times. If you really want to see it, I’ll tell you about it later.”

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat.”

Shen Chutang took the opportunity to put her hand in his coat pocket. It was warmer there. “Let’s go to Huadongfu. Assistant Lin said it’s close.”

“Okay.”

“Second Brother?”

As soon as Shen Chutang went out, she saw a familiar figure in front of her. It was Zhou Xingyang, and a man was standing next to her. She called out tentatively.

The people over there looked over, and Zhou Xingyang turned her head to look this way.

The atmosphere between them, which had been tense, instantly became a little subtle. Shen Sichen suppressed the anger rising in his heart, “We’ll talk about this at home.”

“Tangtang, are you finished?”

Shen Sichen asked while pulling Zhou Xingyang over. He and Shi Chengyu both had interviews today, but in different halls.

Shen Chutang said, “We’re finished, Second Brother. Do you want to go eat together?”

“Okay, wait for Weicuan. He went to buy clothes.”

Shen Chutang only then noticed that Zhou Xingyang was only wearing a long dress. “Second Brother, I have an extra jacket. Let Xingyang wear it first.”

Lin Shulang walked over with a handbag. Shen Chutang handed the jacket to Zhou Xingyang.

“Thank you.” Zhou Xingyang said softly, her fingertips were white from the cold.

“I’ll wash it and return it to you later.”

“No need. I haven’t worn this one yet. Consider it a gift.” Shen Chutang smiled sweetly, “Let’s go eat.”

Shen Chutang took her arm, “The food at Huadongfu is delicious. They have roast duck…”

Shi Chengyu followed behind, looking at Shen Sichen, who was stunned, and reminded him, “Let’s go, Second Brother.”

Zhou Xingyang gradually warmed up. The jacket had a faint sweet scent, expensive, a price she could never afford in her lifetime. And Huadongfu, if they hadn’t brought her, she wouldn’t even have been qualified to enter.

They were not from the same world. Why was she deceiving herself?

Shen Chutang looked at her clenched fingers, “What’s wrong, Sister Xingyang? Are you cold?”

Her hand was suddenly grasped. Zhou Xingyang subconsciously looked down. Shen Chutang’s hand was on the back of her hand, trying to wrap her fist with her hand, but her small hand couldn’t cover it all.

Shen Chutang smiled, “I’ll warm you up.”

“Miss Shen…this…”

“Just call me Tangtang.” Shen Chutang interrupted her, “Don’t be so formal.”

Zhou Xingyang still pulled her hand away. She had heard about Shen Chutang’s illness and was afraid of making her cold again, so she put her hand in her pocket, “My hands are too cold. I’ll just warm them in my pocket.”

“Okay. Second Brother, you’re so inconsiderate. How will you ever find a girlfriend?” Shen Chutang mumbled softly. The two of them walked slowly in front, and the two behind them also slowed down.

“Miss Shen, I’m not from the same world as Mr. Shen.”

They wouldn’t have a future either.

Shen Chutang was slightly surprised. She looked back, didn’t say anything, and took Zhou Xingyang’s arm into the elevator, getting off first.

Lin Shulang stood by the car. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Shen Chutang and Zhou Xingyang coming, then opened the car door.

Zhou Xingyang hesitated, but Shen Chutang pulled her in without hesitation.

“Miss Shen, this is Mr. Shi’s car. I…”

“Sister Xingyang, if you keep saying ‘Mr.’ and ‘Miss’ I’m going to be angry.” Shen Chutang pretended to be angry. It wasn’t like this the last few times they met.

“And what did you mean by saying we’re not from the same world?”

Zhou Xingyang lowered her eyes. She had blurted out her thoughts a moment ago, and now she didn’t know how to explain it.

“Tangtang, I’m going to break up with your Second Brother soon.” She said in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly.

Shen Chutang didn’t know if she was cold or scared. “So what? We can still be friends. I like you too.”

Zhou Xingyang’s emotions suddenly became uncontrollable. Tears fell down her cheeks. Shen Chutang raised the car’s sunshade and handed her a tissue.

“Tangtang, I’m just an ordinary person. I just want to live an ordinary life. I’m not suitable for Shen Sichen, and I can’t reach up to him.”

These words were a bit out of place. Shen Chutang didn’t know what had happened between them. She reached out and patted her back, “Sister Xingyang, what is suitable, and what is not suitable?”

“You think it’s reaching up because of the difference in background. I think it’s Second Brother reaching up in terms of personality and appearance.”

“Second Brother sometimes speaks rudely, but he’s actually a very soft-hearted person. I don’t know what’s happened between you two, but I can see that Second Brother really likes you.”

Zhou Xingyang wiped her tears with a tissue, “Tangtang, I know what you’re saying, but…”

But she wasn’t Shen Chutang. A girl who had been raised in a greenhouse like her would never have the same experiences as her.

“Sister Xingyang, there’s not much difference in essence between people. You think that money and power have put a layer of unattainable clothes on Second Brother. Then you can also use other things to make yourself unattainable.”

“If you insist on pursuing equal love, then just work hard.” Shen Chutang used her finger to wipe away her tears, “Don’t cry here and sigh about how you’re not from the same world, how it’s all going to end.”

Zhou Xingyang felt the warmth on her face, looked at Shen Chutang’s teasing smile, and laughed along, but her tears flowed even more.

“Tangtang, thank you…”

She crumpled the tissue in her hand, balled it up and then unfolded it, unfolded it and then balled it up again.

The car slowly stopped. Lin Shulang came over and opened the door. Zhou Xingyang’s emotions had calmed down, except for her slightly swollen eyes, which were impossible to ignore.

After Shen Chutang got out of the car, she glared at Shen Sichen and then pulled Shi Chengyu’s hand to walk inside.

Shi Chengyu had been depressed the whole way. Now that he finally had her hand, a slight smile appeared on his face, “Tangtang, you left me behind.”

He looked a little wronged. Shen Chutang glared at him, “I was with Sister Xingyang.”

Shi Chengyu didn’t say anything. He was satisfied holding her hand.

“Zhou Xingyang.”

Shen Sichen walked over, pulled her hand forcefully, and said in a low voice, “We haven’t broken up yet.”

Zhou Xingyang didn’t say anything. She let him hold her hand.

Shen Sichen pulled her inside, looking at the couple in front of them. For a moment, he felt like they were more like a couple.
