Chapter 478: Chapter 479: Infatuation
Thinking about this made Shi Mei feel extremely suffocated.
She ran out of the main entrance, and the cold wind blew head-on, which somewhat cleared her mind.
Yes.
This was the true nature of men.
Men’s arousal was simply a physiological instinct, without any need to differentiate the object.
Just as Tang Gu had once said, his true love was for Bai Yuejie, while for Tang Wu, it was merely a need for physical pleasure.
Shi Mei scoffed softly, but her heart felt even more blocked.
How could she have been so blind to fall for such a thing?
And stupidly let herself be bitten by a dog for four or five years, only to be outright killed in the end.
What was even more infuriating was that after she finally managed to bite back a couple of times, she couldn’t bite any further...
She should have simply pushed forward and stabbed him to death from the beginning!
Shi Mei felt even more stifled, and she was desperate to smoke a cigarette to alleviate the suffocation and irritation in her heart at that moment.
She briskly walked down the front steps, almost sprinting.
The wind was strong today, the cold air pouring into her still-damp hair, chillingly refreshing.
Not knowing how long she had run, she finally encountered a convenience store, entered, and directly asked for a lighter and her usual choice of blueberry-flavored cigarettes.
But as she was about to pay, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have left her cellphone upstairs.
Shi Mei felt somewhat embarrassed.
She reached into her jacket pocket,
which was empty.
She had a habit of not carrying cash when she went out; usually, a cellphone was enough for all her needs.
The cashier looked at her, maintaining a smile.
Someone behind urged, "Hurry up, if you don’t have money, don’t buy it. There are other people waiting."
Shi Mei’s face reddened, and she was about to say she didn’t want it when suddenly, a hand reached out from behind her, handing a black card to the cashier.
Neat, clean navy-blue cuffs wrapped around a long hand with clearly defined joints which, at a glance, revealed the sexy twisted tendons on it.
Shi Mei was taken aback and turned around.
The man behind her had a stern face and indifferent eyes. His presence was cool as frost, even standing there was enough to make one feel his powerful aura.
If not Shi Lingyan, then who?
The cashier took it, looked at Shi Mei, "Are you friends?"
"I’m her husband," Shi Lingyan said in a detached tone, plainly stating, "Go ahead."
Shi Mei’s heart was even more blocked, her face showing thin anger, "Shameless!"
Shi Lingyan pursed his lips, glanced at her, and the cashier had already brought the keypad, "Enter the password."
Shi Mei instinctively moved aside to let him enter the pin, but who knew, Shi Lingyan turned and walked away, "The password hasn’t changed."
Shi Mei felt like her heart was hit by something as she watched his retreating figure, and eventually, she reached out and pressed the deeply ingrained series of numbers.
It was Tang Wu’s birthday, and also the anniversary of her death.
Payment successful appeared on the display; Shi Mei’s previously congested and suffocating heart suddenly felt as if it had been cleared.
Holding her purchase, she walked out, Shi Lingyan stood at the door, wearing a navy-blue coat, tall and long-legged, attracting the gazes of many girls.
Just as Shi Mei was considering whether to walk towards him or not, she saw two girls nudging each other, one of them boldly stepped forward, blushing, and started to speak with Shi Lingyan, "Hello, I’m a junior in the Chemistry department at Imperial Capital University of Technology, can I possibly..."
"Cannot." Shi Lingyan glanced down dismissively and then immediately turned to look inside the convenience store.
Seeing Shi Mei standing not far away, his eyes softened, and he walked towards her.
