On the surface, Shen Liangchuan certainly didn’t look sick at all.

His complexion was radiant and he was in the best mood. His self-control was so perfected that one couldn’t tell if he had slept.

It was only when there weren’t people around that he would let his weakness show.

Qiao clenched her fists tightly as she thought about it.

The more he behaved this way, the greater her heart ached.

She had stayed awake on purpose the night before.

Just lying there, not moving till daybreak.

The minutes and seconds crept by at an unbearable pace, making a moment feel like an eternity. That feeling was terrifying.

She had only stayed awake for a night, but he had not been able to sleep for more than two weeks.

Qiao Lian had arranged to meet with Song Yuanxi at the psychologist’s clinic at 5 p.m.

At 4 p.m., Qiao Lian went to the clinic and waited outside it for two hours. There was no sign of the girl.

The psychologist was concerned and asked, “Perhaps Ms. Song decided not to come?”

Qiao Lian clenched her fists, as though remembering something.

Song Yuanxi hated her.

Hence, she would do whatever it took to make her feel awful.

Actually, Qiao Lian realized that asking Song Yuanxi for help this time had been a bit much.

And now, would she really not turn up?

At this thought, Qiao Lian picked up her cell phone and dialed Song Yuanxi’s number. The call was connected very quickly.

Qiao Lian sighed with relief and asked, “Yuanxi, where are you now?”

The moment she asked this, she heard a man chuckle softly and say, “I’d like to know that too. Where has she gone?”

Qiao Lian was taken by surprise and asked, “Who are you?”

“According to her, I’m her boyfriend.”

Qiao Lian widened her eyes. She asked again, “Where’s Song Yuanxi?”

“I don’t know.”

“Her cell phone is with you. How could you not know?”
