All the words from the medical books crashed into each other in Chen Mengtian’s mind, and it felt like her head was about to split open.
If there was a wall in front of her right then, Chen Mengtian would ram her head against it without hesitation.
Just when she could no longer stand it, she finally obtained release.
Chen Mengtian magnificently… fainted.
…
When the sky started turning bright, the chickens the villagers reared in Chen Village started crowing.
Once the boy lying in the bed of the Jiang family heard the chickens outside, his eyelids twitched.
Jiang Zebei was used to waking up early.
He had his meals in the school in town and stayed there. Every day, before the sky even turned bright, he had to wake up to memorize his books.
When he opened his eyes and saw the familiar room, his eyes became clear.
He sat up and turned toward the girl in the bed.
Her complexion was much better, and her cheeks were rosy pink. She even had a smile on her lips.
It seemed like she was having a nice dream.
A different emotion appeared in Jiang Zebei’s originally profound and aloof eyes.
This was the first time he saw the girl with such a cute and obedient look.
Chen Mengtian was born with a sweet face. When her pink lips curled up and she formed a slight pout, she looked really cute.
It made him really want to kiss her a few times, because her lips would definitely taste amazing.
Confusion flashed for an instant in Jiang Zebei’s eyes, and then, a hint of disgust showed up in his eyes.
The disgust was not targeted toward the sleeping Chen Mengtian, but toward himself.
He was once deceived by this obedient and attractive appearance.
The girl might appear obedient now, but the moment she opened her eyes, she would show her displeasure toward him. She would look at him with hate.
When he remembered the suffocating feeling that was present whenever they conversed with each other, Jiang Zebei looked away and prepared to get out of bed.
But the moment he was about to move, he stopped.
He remembered the rumors in the village and scowled a little. A grave look that should not belong to someone his age showed up on his young face.
Jiang Zebei turned around once more and looked at the girl sleeping beside him.
Once she woke up and learned about the rumors in the village, what would she do?
Would she go and fight Chen Baozhu, or would she cry and complain about it to Chen Qing?
And what was he supposed to do? Was he to let her go?
This was a problem he had to face.
Jiang Zebei narrowed his eyes and stared at the sleeping Chen Mengtian.
The first time he mentioned that he wanted to divorce her, it was because Madam Chen told him that Chen Mengtian went into the forest with Chen Qing.
That time, he was just trying to frighten her.
He wanted to know what they did in the forest.
If something did happen, he would definitely not allow Chen Mengtian to stay in the Jiang family.
In fact, he would even ask Chen Qing to be responsible for her.
In the end, Chen Mengtian seemed to have been frightened. When he prodded her to confess, she cried and told him that they did nothing.
But what about this time? What should he do?
Jiang Zebei narrowed his eyes and bent his back to approach the sleeping girl.
No matter what, she had already accompanied him for nearly three years. Was he to really just throw her aside and ignore her?
Just when Jiang Zebei drew closer to Chen Mengtian and their faces almost touched, the sleeping girl opened her eyes.
Jiang Zebei’s gaze met hers before he could look away.
The distance between them was very suggestive, but there was no amorous atmosphere in the room.
When Jiang Zebei met Chen Mengtian’s gaze, he was stunned.
What he saw in her gaze was fear, desire, and panic.
Chen Mengtian had always been fierce and unreasonable, but now, she had fear in her eyes.
Jiang Zebei thought about it and quickly understood why this happened.
She nearly died. If nobody had saved her, she would have been a ghost by now.
