Cen Shuang hugged Zhuang Hong’s arm and snuggled next to him. They looked like an ordinary couple. Cen Shuang could not fall asleep, so she began to chat with the man beside her, telling him everything about herself. She talked until her eyelids became heavy. She could not help but turn around and fall asleep in the man’s arms. Cen Shuang dreamed again that she was locked in a warm embrace. She could not feel how cold the outside world was. Then, she felt a dull pain.

Zhuang Hong’s arm was pressed against her chest, and she was hugging him tightly. In the past, if she woke up to this, she probably would have screamed and broken this man’s arm. Now, Cen Shuang smoothed down her hair. She had not combed it for two days. She got out of bed and struggled to open her eyes. She saw a bright red mark on the bedsheet. She frowned and touched her stomach.

“Zhuang Hong, I’m on my period. I have to go now.” After saying that, she waved at him, then went to the bathroom. She had a husband who would not laugh at her. Cen Shuang had already begun to ignore Zhuang Hong when she needed privacy. She did not need to conceal anything since Zhuang Hong was like this. Cen Shuang came out of the bathroom, grabbed the stained bedsheet, and pulled it forcefully. Thud, thud. There was a muffled sound. Zhuang Hong, who had been on the bed, had rolled down with the bedsheet. Cen Shuang was stunned, and all her drowsiness was dispelled. She stared blankly at Zhuang Hong, who was no longer in bed. In the next second, she threw down the bedsheet and ran over.

“Are you alright? I’m sorry. I was too careless. Are you in pain? Did you bump into anything?” She knew that the person on the ground would not answer. When Cen Shuang picked Zhuang Hong up, tears gathered in her eyes and her heart ached. She grabbed his hand, feeling sorry for him, and checked if he had suffered any additional injuries.

Before this, she would only feel guilty. However, this time, apart from the guilt, she felt something a little stronger. After making sure that he was not injured, Cen Shuang heaved a sigh of relief. She spread the bedsheets and carefully helped Zhuang Hong back onto the bed. After everything was arranged, Cen Shuang sat by the bed and kissed his forehead. “I won’t let you get hurt again. I’ll be careful.”

“What happened to you today? You were absent-minded during class. You miss your husband?” After class, Cen Shuang was in a hurry to pack her things. Mu Sensen, who was beside her, bumped into her and whispered the last sentence into her ear.

“I woke up late this morning and didn’t have time to sponge him. I’m afraid that he might be uncomfortable right now.”

“Miss Cen, are you serious? You really miss your husband!” Mu Sensen looked as if she had just choked on something. “He’s in a vegetative state, so why does it matter?”

“My mother-in-law said that he used to like being clean. I’m just afraid that he’ll feel weird.” Cen Shuang packed her things. She had no classes in the afternoon, but she had to do some work for the art club before she could leave.

“Cen Shuang, you’re amazing. Don’t tell me that you’re in love with Zhuang Hong.” Mu Sensen thought Cen Shuang looked like she was in love. She could not help but cover her face in shock. This revelation was too much for her. “Cen Shuang, are you crazy? Zhuang Hong is a vegetable. How did you fall in love with him?”

So many young suitors were chasing after her. She used to be untouchable. Why did she start dating a vegetable? She doubted the school beauty’s taste in men.

Cen Shuang’s cell phone rang. She saw Yang Jinyan’s name light up the screen. Cen Shuang pursed her lips and declined the call. After packing her things, Cen Shuang said, “About the art club meeting, please apply for a leave of absence for me. I’ll be heading home first.”

As she watched Cen Shuang leave without a backward glance, Mu Sensen shook her head in disbelief. “Dating a vegetable? That’s too scary.”

In a black car outside the school gate of the park, the man took a look and smiled maliciously. He said to the woman in the back seat, “Don’t worry. Our brothers are skilled. We’ll pay whatever you want. It’s absolutely fair.”

The woman in the car could not be seen clearly. Her features were concealed. Only her gloomy voice could be heard. “I want this woman to lose her reputation and leave Lin City.”

Cen Shuang returned to the Zhuang family’s house. Lan Yibai was sitting in the living room watching her come in. She immediately asked, “Have you met Yang Jinyan from Sheng City?”

Lan Yibai was not really asking. She was certain. Cen Shuang felt a sense of panic. She grabbed the hem of her clothes and nodded. “I’ve met him!”

“That’s good. I’ve shown him some of your artwork. He likes your designs very much and wants you to talk to him personally.”

She wanted her to meet Yang Jingyan? Cen Shuang admired her mother-in-law’s boldness. She let her daughter-in-law meet her ex-boyfriend. Was she not afraid of what that said about Zhuang Hong?

Cen Shuang clutched the document and subconsciously glanced at Zhuang Hong. She thought of the her impending meeting with Yang Jingyan. They were to have an in-depth discussion about work..
