Chapter 40 Empathy

When Chen Yuanzhen arrived at the convenience store, Zhou Ming hadn't arrived yet.

After a whole day of tossing around, the little supper I ate at night was almost digested by Chen Zhishan's trouble just now.Chen Yuanzhen took two packs of potato chips and a bottle of coconut juice at the convenience store and went to check out.

When paying the bill, she suddenly remembered what she had seen before,

Ji Cixi was holding a pack of ice cubes, gnawing on the street.

Can that thing really decompress?

Chen Yuanzhen was a little strange.

She looked at the two freezers on the side, and the cashier asked:

"Do you want to buy quick-frozen dumplings? The new ones are stuffed with mackerel."

"what?"

Chen Yuanzhen came back to her senses, she shook her head with a smile, and asked again:

"Do you... have any ice here?"

The cashier was taken aback, and she turned her head to look out the window.

Although it's mid-February, it's still a weather where you have to wear a down jacket and a coat.

"You... mean ice cubes?"

"Yes, is there?"

The cashier thought for a moment, he scratched his head and left the cashier, said to look through it, and quickly stepped into the warehouse behind him.

Chen Yuanzhen stood here and waited for almost 5 minutes before the cashier came out with two packs of ice cubes.

"Yes, there are... but they were all made in July and August last year. But if you plan to ask for it... Anyway, the shelf life is twelve months."

Chen Yuanzhen didn't care too much, and took out a credit card from his wallet and handed it over.

After shopping, Chen Yuanzhen walked out of the convenience store. She looked around and saw that Zhou Ming hadn't arrived yet, so she sat on a chair outside the convenience store to rest.

She tore open a pack of ice cubes, and the moment the package was opened, a snow-white chill emanated from the cold ice cubes.

Chen Yuanzhen felt as if he was also frozen by the ice, and shivered.

"Eating stuff all day long...it's no wonder your body is normal."

Chen Yuanzhen muttered.

But murmured, she swallowed, and finally squeezed out a piece of ice, carefully stuffing it into her mouth.

As soon as the ice cubes entered the warm mouth, it began to sweep the temperature in her mouth like a storm. Chen Yuanzhen only felt that her teeth were hurting badly, and her head, which was still dizzy and swollen, was instantly awakened by this pain .

It felt... like someone was taking ten power drills and drilling every one of her teeth at the same time.

But even though it was so uncomfortable, Chen Yuanzhen still resisted to bite the piece of ice into pieces, and finally swallowed it.

The power of the shattered ice cubes remained undiminished, all the way down her delicate throat.

She felt like it was snowing all over her internal organs.

After Chen Yuanzhen finished eating this piece, without saying a word, he stood up and threw all the two packs of ice cubes into the trash can.

Standing on the edge of the trash can, she shook her head again and again and said with emotion:

"Ji Cixi is too scary a woman."

At this moment, Chen Yuanzhen heard the sound of a car horn behind her. She turned her head and saw Zhou Ming hurriedly got out of the car and ran towards her.

Zhou Ming ran up to Chen Yuanzhen, and under the light, he could see Chen Yuanzhen's face clearly.

Chen Yuanzhen's eyes were red and swollen, his nose was red, and even his mouth was red.

Zhou Ming was taken aback, thinking something was wrong with his boss, he hurriedly took off his coat and put it on for Chen Yuanzhen.

"You, you are..."

Chen Yuanzhen waved his hand, "Don't mention it."

"You... are you... are you crying?!"

Chen Yuanzhen sighed and nodded.

"Are you still crying?!"

Chen Yuanzhen rolled her eyes, she frowned and looked at Zhou Ming.

"Shouldn't you ask me why I'm crying first?!"

Only then did Zhou Ming come to his senses, nodded quickly, and said, "Then why are you..."

"Oh...it's hard to describe in words." Chen Yuanzhen had a vicissitudes of life on his face.

"But your mouth...why is it so red?"

Zhou Ming has only heard that crying can make people's eyes and nose red, but he has never heard that crying can make people's mouths red.

Chen Yuanzhen replied casually: "I just ate a piece of ice."

"Eat ice?" Zhou Ming was taken aback, "It's so cold, what are you doing eating that stuff?"

"Oh, I don't know!" Chen Yuanzhen waved his hands carelessly and said.

"Can……"

Zhou Ming wanted to say more, but Chen Yuanzhen turned and gave him a glare, and said, "Why do you talk so much?"

After she finished speaking, she took off the clothes she was wearing and handed them to Zhou Ming.

"Put it on, drive, and freeze me to death..."

After she finished speaking, she hugged her shoulders and shivered, bent over and jogged all the way into the car.

Zhou Ming looked puzzled, but he could only drive.

Along the way, Zhou Ming listened to Chen Yuanzhen, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, wailing that he had a stomachache, but when he said he was going to buy medicine, Chen Yuanzhen strictly prohibited him.

Did my boss become crazy when he attended a stepmother's birthday party?

Of course, this is just Zhou Ming's doubts in his head, and he still dare not say such words.

After sending Chen Yuanzhen home, Zhou Ming was still a little worried. He asked again:

"You really don't need to buy stomach medicine?"

Chen Yuanzhen nodded while clutching his stomach.

"Are you... sure?"

"Okay, let's go now."

"Then... then can I go?"

Chen Yuanzhen nodded.

Only then did Zhou Ming turn around, only turning his head three times a step at a time.

"If you look back again, your neck will be broken."

When Zhou Ming turned his head again, Chen Yuanzhen said sullenly.

So Zhou Ming ran faster than a rabbit.

Seeing that Zhou Ming really left in the elevator, Chen Yuanzhen opened the door and entered the room.

As soon as she entered the living room, she fell down on the sofa without turning on the light.

She really has a severe stomachache right now.

Not only because he ate a piece of ice just now, but also because he was frightened at Chen's house.

"The power of the old man can't be weaker than your two packs of ice...Ji Cixi."

Chen Yuanzhen muttered to himself.

She thought, maybe on a certain winter night, Ji Cixi was also lying on the bed, enduring this colic pain alone.

So she didn't go to buy medicine--

She wanted to experience Ji Cixi's pain once.

It seems that only in this way can we get to know that person better.

Perhaps it was because of being too tired, Chen Yuanzhen was so drowsy that he fell asleep.

In the dream, she once again dreamed of the scene of that year.

It was when she was in the third grade. By chance, she learned that her father, Chen Zhishan, was going to send her two older brothers to study abroad.

At that time, Chen Yuanzhen was already studying in Noble Primary School in Z City. She had heard her classmates talk about going abroad, and she also knew that every semester, some classmates would stop coming to the class because of this reason.

Going abroad to study is considered gold-plated, and she learned this from her classmates.

She didn't know where she had the courage at that time, the child in the third grade actually knelt in front of her grandparents' room for a whole night.

Because she knew that her father ignored her and her stepmother hated herself, begging them was useless.

She also knew that it was her grandparents who let her into Chen's house, so now she can only ask her grandparents.

At that time, Chen Yuanzhen's idea was very simple. She didn't want to study abroad because of comparison.

She wants to make herself stronger,

At least... the next time she sees Chen Yuanshuo about to kill the kitten, she won't have to hide behind the wall and cry with her mouth covered.

It turned out that when she lived with her mother, her mother told her to be a humble person.

But after living in Chen's family for nearly three years, she found that knowing how to be modest would only lead to losses.

So she chose to kneel in front of her grandparents' room,

Kneeling for one night is not enough, two nights, as long as you can catch something, you must catch it.

This was Chen Yuanzhen's only thought at that time.

And the result of thinking this way was that at noon the next day, Grandpa finally waved his hand impatiently.

"Since you have to go, then go. Don't bother me any more."

Chen Yuanzhen suddenly opened his eyes.

It was already daylight outside the window.

Chen Yuanzhen sat up from the sofa, and after a night's rest, her eyes once again returned to the calmness of the past.

She took out her phone from her pocket.

"While Chen Yuanshuo is still honest, let's release all the things we found before."

Zhou Ming was a little surprised, he was stunned for a moment, and asked:

"Aren't you going to take it easy?"

Chen Yuanzhen sneered.

"I was in a bad mood today, so I changed my mind."

The author has something to say: the mood still doesn't seem to be beautiful.
