Chapter 319: Mice Run Away Crying

“Cousin, do you feel like you have any of that? Any of that? Any of that…”

“Cousin, aren’t I right? Aren’t I right? Aren’t I…” These words reverberated in Wen Ruhua’s head.

He stumbled and clutched at his chest as he turned to look at Ning Shu. When he met her sincere gaze, he felt the anger in his heart lurch. He was hit with a wave of dizziness and it felt like a hand was squeezing his heart mercilessly.

He shouted, “You’re just making excuses for what you did! You’re just quibbling! It’s all excuses!”

Blood spilled out the corners of his lips. Everything Bai Qinxiang had said were jeers at his lack of ability. She was clearly the one that had betrayed their promise. What right did she have to act so righteous?

Ning Shu curled her lips in disdain. Even animals aimed to pick strong mates in order to ensure their offsprings’ chances of survival. This was the way life was, what the frick were you bringing up a crappy promise for?

If Bai Qinxiang had really waited and accompanied Wen Ruhua until he finally made a name for himself, the person that ended up breaking the promise may have been Wen Ruhua.

“Ding! Ding ding! Ding ding ding! Trauma points +20. Total number of trauma points has reached 100. Ah, Ning Shu, you’re amazing! I really like you! Keep working hard! Do it again, again!” 2333 sounded like he was seeking a beating.

Ning Shu felt very embarrassed on 2333’s behalf. Why did 2333 become like this? It was so disgraceful.

Ning Shu: “Scram off… and die.”

Wen Ruhua staggered into his room and slammed the door shut.

Yue Lan looked at Ning Shu with worship in her eyes. “Miss, you managed to make someone puke blood from anger, you’re really amazing! Your skill at eloquent debate is undefeatable.”

Ning Shu lifted her brows at Yue Lan. “Skill at eloquent debate?”

“That’s right ah. Is there a problem, Miss?” Yue Lan looked towards Ning Shu in confusion.

Ning Shu patted Yue Lan’s shoulder. “It’s alright as long as you’re happy.”

Ning Shu and Yue Lan continued working hard for a while and finally made the tent comfortable. It was about time for lunch now, but Wen Ruhua was still in his house and showed no intention of coming out. It was so quiet that Ning Shu wondered if he had died inside.

She went to the door and shouted, “Cousin, are you there? If you are, make a squeak.”

There was no reply. Ning Shu lifted her brows, there’s no way that the male lead would be so weak as to die just like this, right? She shouted again, “Cousin, it’s about time for lunch. What do we eat? There isn’t a single scrap of food in the kitchen, not even a grain of rice is around. The mice must have cried as they ran away. Cousin, how did you end up in such dire straits? Cousin, are you there?”

The room was still silent. Ning Shu had a bad feeling and she said to Yue Lan, “Yue Lan, hurry up and knock down the door. Something may have happened to my cousin. There’s no need to worry if this door can be fixed. In any case, there’s nothing here that a thief would want to steal. There’s no need to feel sorry for the door either, it’s old and rotting anyways.”

Yue Lan replied ‘oh,’ then took a deep breath and prepared to throw herself at the door. Right at this time, the door opened with a creak. Wen Ruhua’s veins were pulsing visibly on his forehead as he glared at Ning Shu.

It was enough that Bai Qinxiang had betrayed him in the past, but now she was actually using sharp words to jeer at him. She was even more loathsome than before.

It could be said Wen Ruhua had already taken Ning Shu to be his sworn enemy.
