Chapter 612: Chapter 613 Cheng Xiaoyue’s Grievance

Zhong Chuling’s father soon fell asleep, and she stepped out of the room again, only to find Lin Shu hugging her knees, sitting on the couch with a listless look.

"Xiao Shu," sitting beside Lin Shu, Zhong Chuling softly said, "Now that I’m done with everything, can you tell me what happened from the beginning?"

Leaning her head on Zhong Chuling’s shoulder, Lin Shu recounted the day’s events in detail, though she left out the specifics of what happened in bed. After finishing, she said indignantly, "Tell me, isn’t that guy a bastard? You still think he’s a good person. I’m telling you, be careful not to be taken in by him in the future."

When Lin Shu described the events, she naturally infused her narrative with subjective bias, painting Song Xiaodong in a lewd and lascivious light, and portrayed herself as exceedingly pitiful, lamenting that Song Xiaodong had not spared her.

Zhong Chuling was at a loss for words after listening. According to Lin Shu, Song Xiaodong had indeed taken advantage of her, but Zhong Chuling always felt that Song Xiaodong was not that kind of person.

Clinging to Zhong Chuling’s arm, Lin Shu said, "I’m telling you, I’ve suffered such a big loss, don’t you believe me? Xiao Ling, I’m totally screwed, my first time is just... gone, ah, I want to cry."

Zhong Chuling said softly, "Then... then just cry, I’ll apologize to you on behalf of Big Brother Song."

"Why would you apologize for him? You’re not his anything. Xiao Ling, I’m warning you, don’t be fooled by him again."

Zhong Chuling bit her lip and said, "If he wants... then I’ll give it to him, I’m willing."

"Oh come on, are you serious? You can’t ruin your life like this. No, no, I have to keep an eye on you from now on. I absolutely can’t let him succeed again. Anyway, he’s already had me. If he gets carried away, I can still cover for you. Once or multiple times, it doesn’t make a big difference."

Zhong Chuling cracked a smile and said, "Xiao Shu, it seems like you might still want it. Could it be that you’ve fallen for Big Brother Song and just won’t admit it because you’re too stubborn?"

"Fall for him?" Lin Shu pointed to her own nose, angrily said, "How could that be possible? Even if I liked a dog, I wouldn’t like him, absolutely not!" Lin Shu spoke decisively without a flicker of hesitation.

"Forget it, don’t look at me with those pitiful eyes. I’m not that vulnerable. It’s just being slept with once, what’s the big deal? I didn’t feel anything, just like being bitten by a mosquito. I’ll help you pack up."

Seeing Lin Shu change the subject, Zhong Chuling didn’t want to continue on this topic, afraid of upsetting her further.

By the time they finished packing, it was already quite late, and they were both tired. After tidying up, the two of them went to bed.

"Ah! Xiao Ling, hurry and get me a sanitary pad, I’ve started my period." Lin Shu woke up in the morning and quickly nudged Zhong Chuling awake.

Zhong Chuling promptly found one for her, and after Lin Shu had put it on and returned, she let out a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, I just got my period. Otherwise, I would have kept worrying whether that guy used protection or not. If he got me pregnant, I’d be doomed."

Zhong Chuling forced a bitter smile, not knowing how to respond to that comment.

Around eight in the morning, an ambulance from City First Hospital of Tiannan City arrived, and both accompanied Zhong Chuling to Tiannan City. After familiarizing themselves with the situation, Zhong Chuling wanted to stay for a day, but her father disagreed, insisting that she return home. His daughter had already missed too much school, and now that he was settled, he refused to let her miss any more.

Zhong Chuling and Lin Shu could only agree to come over again next week, then they headed back to Provincial City together.

On the high-speed train, Lin Shu’s phone began to ring; it was her college classmate, Zhao Lejun from the next dorm room.

"Xiao Shu, do you know anyone from the TV station, and are you close with Cheng Xiaoyue?"

Lin Shu immediately answered with pride, "Of course, we’ve had dinner together, so we’re close."

Zhao Lejun replied, "Really? Don’t lie to us, okay?"

Lin Shu, who had a bit of vanity, was immediately displeased and said, "How could I lie? We are close, and it’s nothing to brag about."

Zhao Lejun added, "She’s been on an entertainment show and is really popular now. Even if you knew her before, that’s not much use now, right?"

Lin Shu pursed her lips and said, "Even if she’s popular, she still knows me. Hey, why are you asking this?"

Zhao Lejun said, "There’s her show tonight, and if you’re on good terms with her, could you get us two tickets to the live show? I want to see it in person."

"Of course, I..." Lin Shu was about to agree but then her expression darkened. She had met Cheng Xiaoyue, but it was through Song Xiaodong, and she didn’t have much of a relationship with Cheng Xiaoyue. If she wanted to get tickets, she’d have to ask Song Xiaodong, and she was definitely not going to ask that lecherous Song Xiaodong. What if he demanded that she sleep with him again?

When Zhao Lejun heard that Lin Shu didn’t respond for some time, she said, "I knew you were full of hot air. Never mind, I’ll think of something else."

Lin Shu was immediately indignant and retorted, "What do you mean ’full of hot air’? I just don’t know if she still has tickets. Why didn’t you say something earlier? With such short notice, how can I be sure whether I can get them or not?"

Yet inwardly, she thought, it’s just asking. After all, that uncle has been with me already; what’s the big deal if it happens one more time? Besides, I’m on my period; even if he wants to, he can’t do anything.

The thought of having slept with Song Xiaodong and then the look on his face when he found out she was on her period made her feel quite pleased; suddenly, her mood lifted.

Lin Shu’s confidence returned, and she declared, "Just wait, I’ll get them for you right now, no problem at all."

After hanging up on Zhao Lejun, Lin Shu called Song Xiaodong immediately. As soon as the call connected, she demanded, "I want a few tickets to Cheng Xiaoyue’s live show."

Song Xiaodong, displeased with Lin Shu’s tone, responded indifferently, "I only have those few, no extras, and I’m busy." Then he hung up the call.

"He hung up on me... he actually hung up on me..." Holding her phone, Lin Shu’s face turned ashen, and her eyes reddened with anger. She had let Song Xiaodong have his way with her once, but for him to treat her like this was too much for her to bear.

At that moment, Zhong Chuling cautiously said, "Xiao Shu, the tickets to Cheng Xiaoyue’s live show, aren’t these it?" She pulled out a ticket from her pocket as she spoke.

Lin Shu snatched it immediately, glanced over the contents, and then her mouth twitched as she said, "Hmph, you’re giving this to us on your own, not because I begged for it. Don’t think you can use this to force me to sleep with you."
