Chapter 92 - The Text From Long Ago (1/2)
Seeing Susu and Chen Mu leave happily from the lower level, Karen bit her lips while her tears ruined her eye makeup. Her mascara and eyeliner made lines across her face as she wiped her tears sideways using her sleeves. She kept whispering Susu's name while gnashing her teeth against each other.
”A soon to be dead person like you should just die faster. Why are you walking around faking smiles and ruining others' lives? Huh? You want to compete with me? You don't even stand a chance.” She breathed heavily as she heard notifications from her phone.
When she unlocked her phone, she saw many messages from her parents asking how the competition went. Pictures and voices from the event started haunting her once again. Her fingers shook as her vision blurred.
She saw Tian Yuo's name and went through the texts that they've sent to each other. While scrolling through the conversations, she saw the pictures of the pills that he took from long ago. She remembered telling him that those were birth control pills, but never really looked into what these pills were for. A part of her became suspicious as she recalled Susu hating any form of medicine.
”What if these pills.. weren't just regular medicine... but for her ...cancer?” She mumbled and quickly wiped her tears away. Quickly, she left the building and went to a few nearby pharmacies to confirm her suspicions.
Meanwhile, Susu, Lily, Lin Que and Chen Mu decided to do some shopping for tonight's dinner. Earlier, Chen Mu and Lily set out different reasons for why Susu should eat homemade food for dinner. Ever since her recent throat infection recovery, Lily and Chen Mu always checked up on her.
Chen Mu would ask her about how she felt every day and made sure that she was alright. Lily would send herb deliveries to their condo to make sure that everything is stocked up and convenient for Chen Mu to use.
Susu mentioned that she wanted to eat out for the night, and Chen Mu reminded her that her monthly body check was coming up. ”Don't forget that you just recovered from a throat infection. Outside food has a lot of oil and we'll never know whose hand touched what while the dishes are made. How about you tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you?”
”Mm...” She understood his concerns and started thinking about different dishes that she wanted to eat.
”How about we eat something light? We can have chicken congee for tonight with a few vegetable dishes on the side.” Lily understood that Susu was thinking about everyone else and their preferences so she made this suggestion for her.
Susu asked, ”But are you sure you guys are fine with all these simple dishes? I don't want you guys to feel hungry after this dinner.”
Lin Que smiled, ”Lily and I have eaten too much fried food lately. We need to balance our diets. We aren't picky eaters so as long as Chen Mu's cooking is edible, it will do.”
Susu looked at Lily again to confirm that it was really alright to keep it simple. Lily nodded in response and hugged her arm, ”So~~~ While you guys are going to shop for tonight's dinner ingredients, we will be walking around for entertainment for tonight's celebration.”
Right after she said that, she pulled Susu towards the mall direction and left the guys by themselves. Lin Que patted Chen Mu on the back, ”So, it's only us now. Knowing Lily's personality, she must have something in her mind. Hah, let's hurry and shop for our girlfriend's stomach.”
”Yeah....Let's just cross our fingers and hope that whatever entertainment that they end up choosing are normal...” Chen Mu shivered at the thought of Lily's creative capabilities. Ever since they've started dating, he realized that many naughty ideas that Susu wanted to try out were all inspired by Lily's words. As much as he enjoyed those bedroom stuff, he can't imagine how extreme Lily would get when it comes to being in charge of a double date night.
