Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?
Chapter 153 The Torment of the Cold War
Chu Mengmeng dragged her heavy steps back to the Chu family villa, and walked straight to her room as soon as she entered the door. "Mengmeng, what's wrong with you?" Seeing her daughter's red and swollen eyes and lonely expression, Chu's father asked with concern. Chu Mengmeng ignored her father's question, but just walked into the room silently and closed the door with a "bang".
Chu's father wanted to ask more questions worriedly, but was stopped by his wife, "The child is grown up, let her be alone." Chu's mother sighed, her eyes full of heartache.
Chu Mengmeng locked herself in the room, letting her tears flow freely. The scene of her quarrel with Xiao Yichen and his resolute eyes kept replaying in her mind. Her heart felt like it was being cut by a sharp blade, and she felt so painful that she couldn't breathe.
She didn't understand why Xiao Yichen, who was once so gentle and considerate, suddenly became so cold and heartless? Why did he say such hurtful words because of a woman who had nothing to do with him? Could it be that the relationship between them for so many years was not as good as a childhood sweetheart?
Chu Mengmeng curled up on the bed, hugging the pillow tightly, as if this could ease the pain in her heart. She didn't eat or drink, and didn't want to talk. She just cried silently, letting time pass by.
On the other hand, Xiao Yichen was also depressed all day long. He locked himself in the study, trying to numb himself through work, but the pain in his heart lingered.
Whenever he closed his eyes, he would think of Chu Mengmeng's heartbroken eyes and her resolute back as she turned and left. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making him breathless.
He knew he was wrong. He shouldn't have doubted Chu Mengmeng just because of Lin Wan'er's words, and he shouldn't have said such hurtful words. However, it was too late to regret now. Chu Mengmeng no longer believed in him, and their relationship had an irreparable rift.
"Yi Chen, are you okay?" Lin Wan'er walked into the study room holding a cup of ginseng tea with a concerned look on her face.
Xiao Yichen raised his head and forced a smile, "I'm fine, just a little tired."
"You're just working too hard. You need to take a rest." Lin Wan'er put the ginseng tea on the table and said gently, "Some things are already in the past. Don't think about them anymore. You still have me."
Xiao Yichen looked at Lin Wan'er's concerned eyes, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that Lin Wan'er had always been very kind to him, but his feelings for her remained at the stage of friendship.
He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to start, so he could only remain silent. When Lin Wan'er saw him like this, a hint of imperceptible pride flashed in her eyes.
Seeing Xiao Yichen remained silent, Lin Wan'er thought he was worried about their relationship, and she was secretly proud of herself. She reached out and gently stroked the back of Xiao Yichen's hand, saying softly: "Yichen, I know you still have concerns in your heart, but you have to believe that time will dilute everything. You just need to give me a chance, and I will prove that I am the most suitable person for you."
Xiao Yichen pulled his hand back without leaving a trace and smiled faintly, "Wan'er, don't think too much, I just need some time to sort out my thoughts."
The smile on Lin Wan'er's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. "It's okay. I can wait as long as I want."
Chu Mengmeng, who was trapped in the vortex of pain, naturally did not notice Lin Wan'er's little thoughts. She locked herself in the room, refusing to eat or drink, and unwilling to see anyone.
Chu Mengmeng's abnormality naturally could not be hidden from her friends who always cared about her. Her besties took turns to visit her and tried to enlighten her, but Chu Mengmeng could not let it go.
"Mengmeng, don't be like this. If you don't eat or drink, your body will collapse." Best Friend A looked at Chu Mengmeng, who had lost a lot of weight, with heartache and worry in her tone.
"That's right, Mengmeng, if you have anything that makes you unhappy, just tell us and we can work together to find a solution." Best friend B also comforted her.
"Stop talking, leave me alone for a while." Chu Mengmeng's voice was hoarse and weak, as if she had used up all her strength.
The girlfriends looked at each other, knowing that Chu Mengmeng was at her lowest emotional point. No matter what they said, she couldn't listen. They could only sigh helplessly and stay with her silently.
However, no one noticed that a figure hiding in the dark had a sinister light flashing in his eyes.
On the other hand, Xiao Yichen also fell into deep self-blame and pain. He tried to numb himself with work, but found that he couldn't concentrate at all. Chu Mengmeng's every smile and frown, every little thing between them, like a movie, kept flashing in his mind, making him feel heartbroken.
Finally, after getting drunk, he could no longer suppress his inner emotions and confided his thoughts and pain for Chu Mengmeng to his friends...
Xiao Yichen drank one glass after another, the spicy liquid flowing down his throat, but it couldn't extinguish the raging fire in his heart. He held his head in pain and muttered to himself: "I am such a bastard... Why did I say those words... Mengmeng, where are you... Do you know how much I miss you..."
His friends had never seen him lose control like this, and they couldn't help but feel mixed emotions. They knew that there was a problem between Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng, and they also knew that he couldn't let her go in his heart, but they didn't expect that he loved her so deeply.
"Yi Chen, you've had too much to drink." A friend consoled him, "You can't force relationships. Now that you've broken up, don't think about it anymore."
"No, you don't understand..." Xiao Yichen shook his head painfully, "I can't live without her... I regret it... I really regret it..."
His voice was hoarse and weak, but full of deep regret and longing. He didn't dare to say these words to Chu Mengmeng, so he could only confide in his good friend under the influence of alcohol.
And all of this was heard clearly by Chu Mengmeng who was hiding in the dark.
She originally just wanted to come to this restaurant to eat something, but she didn't expect to meet Xiao Yichen here. Seeing him so decadent, her heart felt like it was stabbed by a needle.
Hearing him say that he regretted it, and that he couldn't live without her, she couldn't hold back her tears. It turned out that he didn't really want to break up with her, it turned out that he still had her in his heart.
Chu Mengmeng covered her mouth to stop herself from crying. She turned and ran out of the restaurant, letting the tears blur her eyes.
Xiao Yichen's words were like a bolt of lightning, splitting the thick layer of ice in her heart and illuminating her originally dim world.
She knew that she couldn't keep running away like this, she had to bravely face her own heart and the feelings between them.
On the other side, Xiao Yichen finally fell asleep under the influence of alcohol. What he didn't know was that his true words had been heard by Chu Mengmeng, and their fate was about to change because of it.
Although the two have not yet taken the initiative to contact each other, their hearts are full of entanglement and struggle. They are both waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to break the deadlock and get back together.
The Cold War
Chu Mengmeng ran out of the restaurant, letting the cold wind blow on her cheeks, but it couldn't blow away the surging emotions in her heart. Xiao Yichen's words were like fine needles, piercing her heart densely, and it hurt so much that she could hardly breathe.
When she returned home, the empty room seemed to laugh at her embarrassment. In the past, Xiao Yichen would always find ways to make her happy and make her favorite desserts, but now, she was left alone, tasting the bitter taste alone.
On the phone screen, Xiao Yichen's number seemed to carry a burning temperature, which made her afraid to touch it. She wanted to call that number and tell him that she heard his true words and that she actually missed him too. However, when she thought of his resolute eyes that day and the words "we are over", her courage disappeared completely.
On the other side, Xiao Yichen woke up from a hangover with a splitting headache. The pain of the hangover was far less than the torment in his heart. He tried desperately to grab something, but found that everything was lost.
He looked through the photos of Chu Mengmeng on his phone. Each and every one of them showed her brilliant smile. Those sweet memories flashed through his mind like movie clips, but now they had become the sharpest blades, slicing his heart one by one.
He wanted to rush to Chu Mengmeng, hug her tightly, tell her that he was wrong, and beg her to give him another chance. However, he didn't dare to do so. He was afraid of her rejection and afraid of hearing her say "it's impossible for us to be together".
The two seem to have returned to normal life, but they have lost their former colors. Chu Mengmeng pretends to smile while shopping and drinking afternoon tea with her friends, but she is always distracted and absent-minded. Xiao Yichen buries himself in work, trying to numb himself with busyness, but he misses Chu Mengmeng even more in the dead of night.
They are like two parallel lines, clearly in love with each other, but drifting apart due to a momentary misunderstanding. This cold war torments each of them, and also makes the future of this relationship full of uncertainty.
At this time, Chu Mengmeng's friends noticed that something was wrong with her, and they decided to help her get out of the haze of this relationship. Their target was naturally Xiao Yichen, the one that Chu Mengmeng was obsessed with...
