Chapter 1333 Shi Xiaomeng's Predicament: Good Deeds Don't Always Pay Off! (Day 3 of Saturday, Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to let Cheng Feng pursue Xia Lin?"

Mi Lai dared not think too much, lest the familiar feeling overwhelm her and cause her to faint on the spot. It wasn't that she was overthinking; her face was already flushed red, and the blush quickly spread from the outside in. She could only quickly change the subject.

"Don't you want to know if Xia Lin and Lu Tao are truly in love?" He Chen feigned surprise: "If she can't even handle a playboy like Crazy, then she's a slut, and Lu Tao certainly can't tolerate her betrayal."

Then your opportunity will come.
If she held on, it means that she and Lu Tao are indeed somewhat different. It's hard to say if it's true love, but it's definitely more true love than yours and Lu Tao's.

You can finally give up a little. Whatever the outcome, it's all beneficial for you; just sit back and watch.

“…” Milai opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

It was precisely because everything was in her favor that she felt particularly conflicted.

Since she was betrayed by her beloved first love and best friend, where did she get such good luck?
There's never a worst, only worse.

Unlike now, there are still good things waiting for her that are entirely beneficial.

It was obvious that He Chen had created this opportunity for her.

How can she repay this kindness?
Are you fainting?

That only proves she's useless. She can't even satisfy He Chen, let alone make him happy, and she still has to take care of the mess she left behind after he fainted.

Shi Xiaomeng's notebook of favors kept growing larger and larger, and he could never repay them all. It would be more fitting to describe her situation.

At least Shi Xiaomeng kept cleaning up Cheng Feng's messes, but what about her?
Uh……

As Mi Lai thought about this, she seemed to connect it to something, and her face turned even redder. Her expression became unusually conflicted, as if she were caught in a great dilemma and choice.

He Chen ignored her incredibly varied expressions. Seeing that she wasn't speaking, he left her to his own imagination and walked over to Shi Xiaomeng. Seeing that he could only use his left hand with difficulty, he asked a question he already knew the answer to.

"How did you hurt your arm?"

Well, it can't really be considered a rhetorical question.

Because this is no longer the original timeline; it's a composite film and television world. Moreover, with He Chen's involvement, the butterfly effect will become stronger and stronger, and the subsequent developments will become increasingly different.

Therefore, what happened in the original storyline may not necessarily have happened in this timeline.

It's still necessary to ask.

"If I said I sacrificed myself for others, would you believe me?" Shi Xiaomeng glanced at his injured right arm with a wry smile.

“I believe you!” He Chen nodded without hesitation.

This made Shi Xiaomeng stop smiling bitterly and look at He Chen with great emotion.

After he was injured, he didn't have enough money, so he called Wu Di to come and pay the missing 400 yuan. Wu Di asked him the same question, and he said the same thing. Wu Di also said he believed him.

Now He Chen believes this without hesitation, which moves him deeply. He feels that doing good deeds without worrying about the future, even though he has spent money on it, is all worth it.

However, compared to being simply touched by Wu Di's answer, his feelings towards He Chen were much more complicated.

He was touched by He Chen's trust in him and also realized that everything He Chen said was true.

His previous actions of blindly focusing on his work were not only wrong, but also extremely dangerous; he had unknowingly walked to the edge of a cliff. A slight misstep would have resulted in a fatal fall, not to mention that he wasn't even aware of this and was still actively jumping around trying to help others.

In the end, he did save someone, but he got injured, had to owe favors for medical expenses, and his job became a problem.

He was forced to take a vacation, lost a big order that he had been working hard on recently, and it seemed that his boss was going to use this as an excuse to wipe out all the promises he had made through three years of hard work.

"Selflessness is something to be proud of, so why do you look so worried?" He Chen smiled and asked, "Is something bothering you?"

"No..." Shi Xiaomeng subconsciously denied it. He didn't want to talk about those troublesome things and upset everyone.

Moreover, He Chen had already helped him a lot and repeatedly pointed out that his record of favors was a muddled mess, so he couldn't interact with He Chen in the same way he had with Cheng Feng and Wu Di.

Besides, he only kept small accounts of favors with Cheng Feng and Wu Di; he avoided asking for big favors whenever possible.

To avoid feeling heavy-hearted and uncomfortable if I can't repay the debt.

When He Chen pointed out that he remembered the accounts in a muddled way, he preferred to avoid owing favors to others, lest the accounts become muddled again.

Besides, He Chen had already helped him a lot, devising the Longzhong Plan for him and pointing out the general direction and specific process of struggle. If he still needed He Chen's help, what kind of person would he be?

Why does Fei Si, Lin Xia's simp, always feel like he's outside the circle of friends and not recognized, even though they've known each other for a long time?

Moreover, he clearly had a crush on Lin Xia, but when Cheng Feng treated Lin Xia like that, he could only swallow his anger and dare to say harsh words in front of them, and then nothing happened.
It's just that Fei Si and Cheng Feng's relationship wasn't pure!
He worked as Cheng Feng's assistant at Cheng Feng's company and received a salary. Although he also sang at bars and didn't rely entirely on Cheng Feng, he was still getting paid.

Fei Si himself joked that he wasn't really a friend or a lackey, and now he's trying to turn his part-time job into his main job, completely giving up being a gofer for his friends and wanting to become real friends.

It's easy to see that if you take someone's money, you're considered inferior and can't be friends with them.

He values ​​favors and only accepts small favors, never mentioning big ones. Even when his fellow townsman boss repeatedly tried to persuade him to get a big order from Cheng Feng, he simply ignored it.

The example of Fei Si right here is just too striking.

If he treats Cheng Feng, a scumbag and scoundrel who he genuinely feels is forced to compromise by life, this is how he should treat He Chen, an idol he truly wants to be friends with. It's no wonder he cares so much about him.

"Tell me, two heads are better than one!" He Chen advised, "Between friends, use your brains and offer suggestions. Are you going to hold a debt of gratitude for this? Does that make you a true friend?"

"Of course I consider you a friend." Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaomeng quickly emphasized, meeting He Chen's 'advising you to be honest' gaze. Thinking about what He Chen said, it made sense. If it was just asking a friend for advice, not talking about money, and not asking the friend to do anything other than help, it seemed like there was no problem.

If you care about all this, you're being too formal.

If friends don't even say things like this, can they still be considered friends?
So, Shi Xiaomeng told him about the worries that had been building up to the point where he could no longer bear them.

It's not that he's weak.

Instead, it was a case of one small thing affecting the whole situation; with so many straws weighing on him, he really couldn't take it anymore.

He Chen is right; his ability to withstand risks and his awareness of risk are both too poor.

But he still wanted to go all in, to forge ahead relentlessly without leaving himself any way out, hoping to carve out a bright future. This was far too presumptuous of him.

In the process, I always couldn't help but do good deeds.

You have to understand that in this day and age, doing good deeds is too costly. Without a net worth of hundreds of millions, it's really easy to end up with no reward for your good deeds, and you won't be able to afford it!
