âYouâve improved a lot.â Song Zhou sent the message.
Ruan Qi replied very quickly, âThanks.â
âYou must take good care of your health.â
âThanks.â
Song Zhou was puzzled. Was she sending automatic replies from her mailbox?
He was unconvinced and asked, âHave you had lunch yet?â
âYes.â
Song Zhou was delighted. She wasnât sending automatic replies. He wanted to send her another message, but Ruan Qi wrote to him first. âDonât send me more messages. Iâm used to ending conversations. If 1 donât send the final reply, Iâll feel restless.â
Song Zhou was surprised. He opened WeChat and checked their chat history.
Although she had blocked him, he could still see their chat history.
It was only then that he realized that every time they communicated, she was the one who ended the conversation, even if it was just a meaningless full stop.
He suddenly felt that she was very cute with such an interesting habit.
But she had already told him not to send her more messages. Heâd be an ass if he did.
Actually, he didnât really care if he was an ass.
He was more worried about not being able to control himself. If he sent her mixed signals again or said something that made her sad, he would feel really bad.
In the end, he restrained himself and stopped the emails.
In the school cafeteria, Ruan Qi accepted the video and checked that everything was okay before she posted it.
After classes in the afternoon, Ruan Qi checked their account again. The new video had been viewed two to three million times and received more than 500,000 likes. The number of followers had also increased significantly.
She shared the news happily with Tang Beibei. The two of them started reading the comments with smiles on their faces.
Some people praised their video, while others commented that it was awful.
Some people said that the backdrop was unique, but others said that it was gimmicky, and they were just trying to get clicks.
Some people said that their dance was very unique while others accused them of plagiarism and said that they were disgusting.
The comments section was a place where demons ran amok. Tang Beibei was quite happy at first, but after reading too many nasty comments, she felt suffocated.
On the internet, people who didnât even knew them could just hide behind their screens and humiliate them with all sorts of vicious language.
Tang Beibei closed the page and said, âLetâs not waste any more time. Why donât we go practice? Iâm happy when I dance. Those unhappy people can just continue to torture themselves. I will not be dragged down by them!â
When Ruan Qi heard her words, the gloominess she felt also disappeared.
She admired Tang Beibeiâs optimism the most. She always found surprising perspectives on things.
âYes, when we become good dancers, we will earn a lot of money. Those people can only be envious and jealous of our bright and prosperous future!â
The two girls looked at each other and smiled. They got up and happily went to dance practice.
Tang Beibei went home after training, had dinner and read as usual.
Before she went to bed that night, she couldnât help but open their page again. She saw that there were tens of thousands more comments.
However, there were more negative comments than positive ones this time. She pursed her lips and threw her phone away.
What the hell! How dare they spoil her mood to sleep?
Jiang Jingchen picked up her phone, looked at the comments and frowned.
âDonât worry about this. These people are just jealous of my Obedient Beibei. Sheâs so cute and she dances well.â
Although Tang Beibei told herself to treat these negative comments like water off a duckâs back, she was still affected by these malicious attacks.
The feeling was like she happily wore a white dress, but someone spilled ink on her and dirtied her dress. The person who spilled the ink didnât feel anything because it was her fault for wearing a white dress.
Jiang Jingchen saw that her cheeks were still puffed and her face gloomy and pulled her into his arms. He then took her hand to touch his face.
âObedient Beibei, when people scold me for being ugly when Iâm wearing this scar mask, do you know what goes through my mind?â
âWhat?â Tang Beibei was curious.
âThat my face is just a demon-revealing mirror.â
âWhat does that mean?â Tang Beibei was suddenly interested.
Jiang Jingchen tapped his lips, telling her to pay before he answered her question.
Tang Beibei didnât know whether to laugh or cry. This man really took advantage of every situation.
She got up and kissed him on the lips. And then he said, âThe scar on my face has nothing to do with these people, but they scold me, curse me and slander me because Iâm a threat to them.â
âThose who treat me like a normal person, with respect, have the right upbringing and can become friends.â
âAnd those who protect me, help me, and even feel sorry for me are the people who love me. Of course, 1 will pamper, protect and love those people.â
He tapped the tip of her nose, telling her that she was one of those people.
The woman thought about his words and felt that they made sense. However, she asked, âWho else help you, feel sorry for you and love you? Donât tell me you love a few of them?â
Jiang Jingchen pinched her face and said, âOther than you, no one else.â
Tang Beibei frowned. âWhy not? Youâre so nice.â
âIâm nice?â
âYeah. Youâre good at your job, smart, and have a good figure.â
Jiang Jingchen chuckled. âObedient Beibei, most people in this world care only about appearance. They will deny everything for a face, a status or a mistake.â
âOnly my Obedient Beibei was silly enough to not care about my appearance, my disability, and was willing to stay by my side.â
Tang Beibei hugged him and mumbled, âIâm not silly, okay? I found a treasure.â âObedient Beibei, those filthy words are just mirrors to their ugly souls. They are not scolding you, but their inner selves.â
âYou are just an uninterested bystander. Instead of wasting your time on them, why donât you read a few more books? Maybe my Obedient Beibei will become an angel in white again and save another life?â
Tang Beibei felt much better after hearing his comforting words.
She covered her mouth and laughed as she snuggled in his embrace. âI realized that I always feel very better when 1 talk to you.â
Jiang Jingchen scooped her up and looked at her. â1 can make you feel even better. Do you want to try?â
ââ¦â Tang Beibei blushed when she saw the manâs burning gaze, but she didnât avoid him. She just nodded in agreement.
Jiang Jingchen kissed her on the cheek, got out of bed, and prepared a footbath. He put a bag of sweet wormwood in it and the air was filled with the fragrance of wormwood.
â⦠The feel even better thing youâre talking about is a footbath?â
âWhat else?â
âOh, hehe.â She laughed to hide her embarrassment.
When Jiang Jingchen massaged her feet, he noticed that some of her muscles were deformed probably from dancing. He only pressed her feet lightly, but the woman screamed.
âOuch. Pain, very painful, hubby.â
âBear with it, thereâs a surprise for you later.â
âThereâs a surprise?â Tang Beibei looked forward to it, so she gritted her teeth and endured the pain.
After cleaning her feet, Jiang Jingchen poured some water for her. He cleared the footbath before he came back to bed.
Seeing the woman hold out her hand, the corners of his lips curled up, and there was a gentle smile in his eyes.
âYou want your surprise now?â
âYes!â
As the man spoke, he lifted the blanket and covered the two of them. âThe surprise is under the blanket!â
It was too late when Tang Beibei realized that she had been tricked..
