Part Three Chapter 119 A Fresh Start
ey saw her. They gave her sweet smiles and then ran into her arms, letting go of their teacher's hands. She took one by each hand, said goodbye to the teacher, and walked towards the car.As soon as th...This encounter was a false alarm for Chen Ling, but it took a toll on his energy. After having dinner with the monitor and going home, he came down with a high fever that night. 。She used to be in great shape, rarely even getting a cold from childhood to adulthood. But ever since she was seriously injured while in Xili country, her constitution has changed a lot and is nowhere near what it used to be. 。
This time again, it was mentally and physically draining. After the lawsuit ended, the relief I felt made me collapse from exhaustion. 。She was burning up, and she knew Song Jingye hadn't slept all night, staying by her side to take care of her. He would occasionally use a towel to help her physically cool down, making her sleep more comfortably. 。By the time morning arrived, her temperature had gone down. There were no other symptoms, it was probably just a body's stress response. 。Song Jingye saw her wake up and gently touched her forehead with his eyes, "You have a fever now, is there anywhere that feels uncomfortable" She shook her head, noticing the dark circles under his eyes, so she shifted inward, gesturing for him to get into bed. 。Even though the sky was still overcast and there wasn't much light, Song Jingye got into bed and pulled her into his arms. As he touched her back, it was cold, so he frowned: "Change your clothes" 。"She got all sweaty last night, so I changed her clothes. But this morning her clothes were damp again." 。
Chen Ning rolled onto her side and watched him get up to retrieve her clothes from the closet. 。She hadn't seen him properly in a long time. His back seemed a little thinner, but it was still straight and strong, just like she liked it. No matter when or where she saw it, his back would always make her heart skip a beat. 。She rested her hands on her cheeks and watched quietly, never tired of looking. 。His closet now holds half her clothes, and neither of them owns many garments anyway, so one closet is just enough. 。He put on a pure cotton shirt and turned around, seeing her starstruck gaze. He couldn't help but smile, "You're not being honest even when you're sick." 。"He helped her up and said, "Change your clothes first. Don't catch a cold." 。He helped her take off her clothes very naturally and skillfully. It was Chen Ling who felt embarrassed, sobering up to feel embarrassed to be served. "I can do it myself." 。Song Jingye smiled and let go, allowing her to change on her own. Chen Ling went back inside with nothing on, so she took the clothes and crawled back under the covers, changing directly inside the blankets. 。Song Jingye then went up and hugged her again. He was also a little tired, and after hugging for a while, he let out even breaths and fell asleep. 。Chen Ning had already lost sleep and just sat there quietly watching him, no matter how she looked at it, it wasn't enough. 。After leaving the court yesterday, the two never mentioned the incident again, leaving everything to the police. 。She had completely freed herself from this incident and no longer harbored any unknown fears. 。
Next, she would just wait patiently to return to work at the unit. She didn't have much confidence in what kind of difficulties she might encounter. 。Although legally, she was not guilty, in their kind of unit, personal image mattered a lot. The label on her would be like a barrier, and she didn't know how Teacher Zhang or other leaders would arrange things for her. 。Song Jingye had slept for more than two hours. The sky outside his window was already bright, his dark eyelashes trembled, showing signs of waking up. 。Chen Ning gently brushed his eyelashes with her hand. He closed his eyes, frowned slightly, tightened his grip on her hand, pulling her closer into his embrace, and leaned down for a precise and unwavering kiss. 。
Chen Ning responded to his kiss quietly, hugging him back. 。These days, both of us have something on our minds. None of us ever thought this would happen. Right now, our slumbering desires have been awakened, and it's hard to contain them. 。But because she had just spent a night with a fever, she was still very tired. Song Jingye didn't continue, and let go of her with a slight gasp. 。。"Uncle, why didn't you ever suspect me Didn't blame me for anything" "Suspect what""It's that I concealed some things about that experience... I hit someone with a rock" 。Although, I feel like I'm not wrong now. 。But before that, I always had this shadow in my heart, afraid to face it, clinging to wishful thinking and deceiving myself until now. 。I'm not as good as you think, not as simple and pure. I have a selfish side too. 。Only now does she have the courage to expose the dark side of her psyche to him. 。Song Jingye looked at her: “I actually hope you have a truly dark side, a bit stronger. That way, you wouldn't be so easily rattled by threats and panic, losing your composure!”
He didn’t know if he was comforting her or genuinely thought so, but what he said made Chen Ning feel a little better. 。There's one more thing I didn't tell you 。"What's up" "Your mom has been looking for me" 。She stopped short. 。"You want to separate from me Say I'm not worthy of you" Song Jingye's tone was casual, he didn't care about it at all. 。"Well, what she said does make sense." 。Chen Ling replied. 。"Still spouting useless drivel, are we" Song Jingye feigned anger and pinched her waist. 。I'm just being honest. 。"Chen Ling dared to say it directly, which just proved that she was firm enough in her heart." 。"Next time my mom says something like that, just tell her off. She's the type who bullies the weak and yields to the strong. If you stand up to her, she'll back down." 。When Song Jingye talked about his mother, he was also quite blunt, but that's the truth. His mother is very easy to deal with. 。Chen Ling stuck out her tongue and said, “I actually fought back.” 。She said so much that day, thinking that Song Jingye's mother would come to him to complain, but it seemed like she didn't. 。Well done, keep it up next time. 。I'll also say something about her. 。The two of them cuddled in bed for a while, and then Song Jingye got up to make her breakfast. He made porridge, eggs, and a dish of vegetables for her. 。"What are you planning to do today" Song Jingye asked her. 。He has to go to his office; many things have been delayed recently, and there's also the mastermind behind this incident. He and his father seem to have an understanding, but how to handle it requires a plan. 。"I want to go back to the unit." 。Chen Ling also wants to go back to the office. 。Yesterday, Teacher Zhang left the court directly and I haven't been in touch with her. She seems very uneasy, she worked hard to get this job and is afraid of losing it, so it's not wrong for her to be proactive. 。Okay, after dinner, I'll take you there first. 。"Song Jingye said" 。Of course Song Jingye understood her situation very well, but if she didn't speak up, he wouldn't take the initiative to interfere in her work. She had her persistence, and he maintained a respectful attitude. 。I sent her to work and just said, "You've just recovered from an illness, don't overwork yourself.">
If you need to go home early, give me a call and I'll pick you up. 。"
Understood" 。She stood by the car and waved goodbye to him, then went into the building. 。As soon as she walked in, her colleagues all gave her curious glances, some with a hint of inquiry. Even when she greeted them, their expressions were a bit awkward. 。Are they sick"A cold laugh came from Shu Tinglan's end of the phone: "You might as well ask your mother why the children didn't go to school today""What do you mean" Zhu Yu'an frowned."Literally," he...
