Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

"Then what about Li Yitong? Who is she? Why don't you break up with her?"

These words had lingered on her lips countless times this morning, but she ultimately swallowed them back.

This breakup was a painful lesson for Jinchen!

She initiated the breakup this morning. She knew she was wrong, and that Li Yitong took advantage of her vulnerability.

If she could let go of Li Shuo, then her mistake would be a mistake. But she just couldn't let go, especially when she saw Li Shuo rushing over that afternoon. She felt like every cell in her body was cheering!

Therefore, she had already made a decision in her heart: as long as Li Yitong did not appear in front of her and did not disturb her date with Li Shuo, she would turn a blind eye to it from now on.

The calm atmosphere gradually eased after Jin Chen leaned on Li Shuo's shoulder again this morning. The two strolled through the streets for a full half hour before Li Shuo finally found a restaurant and took Jin Chen in for dinner...

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing, the food here is quite good..."

"I'm glad you're happy, Chenchen. I swear, from today onwards, I will never let you be sad or upset again..."

Li Shuo specially chose a candlelit window table with a romantic atmosphere, and during the meal, he kept whispering sweet nothings. Looking at his dazed eyes this morning, he seemed to have completely forgotten about the previous breakup...

"Ding"

The phone rang, and the caller ID on the face-up screen read: Li Yitong!

In an instant, Jin Chen's pretty face fell, then two seconds later, a look of melancholy and expectation appeared on her composed face as she grasped Li Shuo's hand:
"It was my fault that she took advantage of me, and I have no right to ask you to break up with her immediately, but Shuo-ge, tonight, I really need your company..."

What? Is this still the same Jinchen I know who used to get jealous? When did you become so gentle, kind, and understanding?

Li Shuo was stunned, so much so that his brilliant mind failed to process the information immediately. He mechanically answered the phone, and Li Yitong's voice immediately came through:

"Honey, are you done with your work? When are you coming home?"

Li Shuo didn't say anything because he saw Jin Chen stand up, walk around the small round table, come to him, and then, with a slight twist of her round and perky little bottom, sit down directly!

Hey, you're supposed to be a rich, beautiful, and wealthy heiress. When did you become so unreserved this morning?
Li Shuo stared in disbelief at the girl sitting on his lap.

"Honey, are you listening? Wei Shuting said you had something come up and had to go out. She was at Shuoguo Culture and waited for you until after six o'clock. You just came out now and haven't even had dinner yet. How about we have dinner together later?"

Urged by Li Yitong, Jin Chen picked up the phone on the table but didn't speak rashly. Instead, he placed it next to Li Shuo's ear.

"Um, I have something to do..."

"What's up? Oh, never mind, I don't know about these things, so I won't ask. When are you coming back tonight? Hehe, I just passed by a lingerie store and bought a set... um, you know, it's a tiny bit more revealing than the one I wore last night..."

This morning, sitting on Li Shuo's lap, she could naturally hear Li Yitong's coquettish and seductive voice. She admitted that she was very angry at the moment and could no longer suppress it; she was about to explode!

But last night's lesson was truly unforgettable. This morning, she took a deep breath, picked up her phone, typed a message, and placed it in front of Li Shuo: "I'm fine, you go and keep Li Yitong company."

The next moment, Jin Chen felt Li Shuo's large hand grasp her slender waist. He said decisively on the phone, "Yi Tong, I won't lie to you, I don't have time tonight. There's someone who needs my company more..."

"this morning?!"

Hearing her own name, Li Yitong shrieked out, her voice a far cry from her previous gentleness and coquettishness, now filled with complex emotions such as jealousy and fear!
At this moment, this morning I felt a tingling sensation spread from my tailbone throughout my entire body, and I felt a jolt, as if I had just taken the first sip of iced cola on a hot summer day, or as if I had snuggled into a warm, heated bed in winter!
Chu Yuxun rolled around on the spot—she felt so good!

Everything that happened with Li Shuo before, whether it was the arguments or the cautiousness now, has come to a conclusion!

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the man, feeling as if he had suddenly become radiant, transforming back into the person she loved and admired most...

"Tongtong!" Li Shuo called out in a deep voice.

"Are you with this morning...?"

Li Yitong's shrill voice continued, and just as this morning, feeling that Li Yitong looked somewhat familiar, perhaps resembling herself from last night, she suddenly fell silent. After about five or six seconds, her voice abruptly softened:

"Shuo-ge'er, I'm sorry, I was too loud, but I really like you so much, I can't stand you being with Jinchen... Please, if you're with Jinchen in the future, don't let me know, okay?"

What?! You quoted my lines?!

This morning I was full of questions, but then I felt a chill: compared to her, Li Yitong was almost on the right track. When it came to men, her rival was indeed more formidable than her.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I just didn't want to deceive you and hurt you..."

"It's okay. I was a latecomer anyway. Actually, I accepted Lan Ying'er a long time ago, as well as Reba, whom I met at the gathering with Director Li Shaohong. It's just that this morning and I are both from the Beijing Dance Academy, and we were originally competitors in school..."

"I know……"

"Honey, there's something I need to confess to you. I deliberately chose this breakfast shop today to spread rumors and let Jinchen know we're together. I did all this to hurt her and make her stay away from us forever..."

The two chatted softly, and although there were no sweet words, the tone and the atmosphere of "mutual understanding" made Jin Chen particularly uncomfortable. It wasn't until Li Yitong confessed about the breakfast incident that Jin Chen almost couldn't help but scream!

In the end, although she managed to hold back, her entire body was trembling...

Li Shuo felt the movement of the beauty on his lap. While pulling Jin Chen into his arms, he spoke up for her, "Don't mention Jin Chen anymore. You know we're together, and she's listening!" "Hehe..." Li Yitong's laughter sounded like a cold laugh, yet she managed not to refute it.

“Chenchen is unlike you; she’s a delicate flower in a greenhouse, not very cunning… Of course, precisely because of this, she’s not really good at competing for affection with other women. So, Tongtong, I actually suggest that you and Chenchen be together amicably…”

Each word she uttered struck a chord with Jin Chen, her face flushed, and she finally couldn't help but say, "Shuo-ge'er, I'm not that weak..."

Li Yitong wanted to curse, but she always felt that she had actually taken advantage of the breakup, and that her position in Li Shuo's heart was far inferior to that of this morning. So, even though the time last night wasn't right, she still reluctantly gave her virginity to Li Shuo. So, even though she wasn't the kind of woman who would do that in a sports car, she was still willing to do it for Li Shuo...

A variety of thoughts raced through Li Yitong's mind. Finally, she whispered, "Honey, everyone sees others differently. You don't need to tell me what happened this morning. I just want you to be happy, and that will make me happy too..."

Li Shuo was stunned for a moment, then felt a little ashamed. He was naturally trying to stand up for Jin Chen, but it was really too hurtful. His affection for Li Yitong was no less than that for Jin Chen...

"Tongtong, I'm sorry. You should get some rest. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow..."

Making this decision in front of everyone this morning was not easy, but Li Shuo still said it.

This time, however, it was as if she hadn't heard his concern for Li Yitong at all this morning, and she didn't even comment on it. Instead, the moment she ended the call, she held Li Shuo's face in her hands and kissed him deeply...

This kiss was passionate and intense, a testament to the determination I made this morning!

After dinner, the two entered a state of intense, passionate intimacy. From leaving the restaurant to strolling through the streets and finally arriving at their accommodation, they were constantly in a state of "a glance and an instant kiss." Especially after returning home, the lovers forgot everything else and fully immersed themselves in a passionate night...

That night, after going through countless hardships and experiencing all sorts of things, Li Shuo finally tasted the sweetest flavor...

In fact, the scumbag felt he had worked very hard, but most people, including many young talents, would never have been able to win over Jin Chen and Li Yitong one after another like he did.

Because they are young, not only are they independent, but they are also not influenced by the materialistic and power-worshipping trends in society. Under normal circumstances, even if one of them is a girlfriend, it is impossible for them to date the other at the same time!
The most important reason why Li Shuo is like this now is that the two women are fighting each other!

This morning, I never thought about really breaking up with Li Shuo, and Li Yitong never thought that she could stay out of it and not get involved in this palace intrigue!

This kind of struggle is like a whirlpool; once you step into it, you only think about winning.

Moreover, ever since they entrusted their most precious possessions to Li Shuo, the vortex has begun to accelerate, and they have completely lost their chance to "escape"...

These were Li Shuo's reflections late that night.

He had been in similar situations before, such as Zheng Yingshan and Wei Ni at Lengyin School, but never before had he had such a clear feeling of "when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits"!

Correspondingly, many ideas sparked in Li Shuo's mind:

"Hmm, no wonder the big shots like to play beauty pageants and art competitions. It turns out that stirring up internal competition can so easily get them what they want... So, some of Leng Wen's competitions, and many things in the future, can actually be slightly adjusted..."

"And then there's the secretariat. Wei Shuting is starting to feel like she has the upper hand. She's begun to select women who get close to me based on her own likes and dislikes. So, it's time to introduce some competition... Hmm, and also the 'no one can stay in one place for too long' principle..."

“The company also needs to introduce a suitable competition mechanism. Lu Tingyu should push Shuoguo Culture to the highest level possible. On the other hand, Sister Shao has been content to stay in Kuncheng. Although she is developing Jinxiu Architecture, she just wants to do what she likes. Since I oppose her continuing to play in real estate, I need to use some means to motivate Sister Shao and not let her stay outside the fishpond anymore…”

Just then, her fair and slender legs stretched out from under the covers and rested on Li Shuo's thighs. He turned his head and saw that the girl was sleeping in a strange position, curled up with her head squeezed behind his waist...

Li Shuo chuckled to himself, a thought inexplicably flashing through his mind: Who would have thought that Jin Chen, who has such a beautiful and almost perfect face, would have such a terrible sleeping posture?

He shook his head, crawled into bed, and fell into a deep sleep while holding the beauty in his arms...

"Honey, wake up..."

The next morning, Li Shuo was fast asleep when Jin Chen woke him up, then pushed him to the bathroom, helped him squeeze toothpaste, get a towel... and even, when Li Shuo came out after washing up, the dining table was already full of various breakfast options...

Li Shuo stared in disbelief and asked, "Do all you dance students get up this early?"

The word "all" made Jin Chen's beautiful eyes sparkle. She shook her head and said, "I'm used to getting up early to practice, but many people don't have this habit. For example, Li Yitong, I heard she has a rich nightlife and gets up very late every morning..."

Li Shuo knew she had spoken out of turn, but she was more pleased with her attitude this morning: she didn't shy away from Li Yitong, and even dared to speak ill of her directly in front of him.

If there were any grievances or conflicts among the fish, Li Shuo would most like them to be discussed openly. Unfortunately, having personally experienced Li Yitong's firmness, Li Shuo naturally wouldn't believe these rumors circulating within the Beijing Dance Academy.

"Wow, it's one thing for you to get up early, but you even woke me up too! Little Chenchen, you're so mean!" Li Shuo joked.

To everyone's surprise, this morning he shook his head seriously: "No, no, no, I won't wake you up this early anymore, but today is different. You promised to bring them breakfast..."

Li Shuo was stunned for several seconds before he realized: the "people" here refers to Li Yitong! When he talked to Li Yitong yesterday, he seemed to have mentioned that he would send her breakfast.

Thinking of this, he was about to say that he was joking with Li Yitong, but then he saw Jin Chen smile gently and say, "I've already had the hotel pack her breakfast. When you take me back to school later, you can bring it to her on your way..."

"Hmm?" Li Shuo raised an eyebrow, asking in surprise, "Do you have class today?"

The Peking Opera class is actually quite easy, so missing a day or two isn't a big deal. Besides, this is the first day that the two of them have truly started being together. Li Shuo has already decided that he won't do anything today except spend time with Jin Chen.

"There are all sorts of rumors and gossip flying around at school, let's calm those down first. As for the two of us, we have plenty of time in the future, a day or two won't make a difference..."

As she spoke, she placed her small hands on Li Shuo's large hands, her pretty face full of a gentle smile as she looked at him.

At this moment, Li Shuo truly wanted to shout: Look, this is my gentle, kind, and understanding little sister... (End of Chapter)
