Chapter 33: Just Getting Some Gas

“Suitable?” Chen Fengshi did not know what to say. It would have been fine if it was not on purpose, but to actually say it was suitable… Wasn’t this too scary?

“She is a normal person and is not afraid of Fungal Demon informers investigating, so of course she is suitable.” Little An looked as if it was a matter of course, which made Chen Fengshi unable to stop his reasonable malicious guess as he said, “Such a scary thought makes me unable to stop asking: Beauty, are you not deliberately tricking me? Out of six failures, they just happen to include three key figures?”

Little An’s expression showed no anger, but that silent quietness made Chen Fengshi feel that she was very unhappy.

Yes, she was unhappy, so she decided not to talk about Shen Ai’s special situation. The most important thing was that she felt Shen Ai’s situation was a bit strange, but she could not explain it clearly, and she could not rule out the possibility of a wrong judgment.

Chen Fengshi also felt that this guess was too much, so he hurriedly apologized and said, “I thought too much. Forgive me for being overly sad right now and biting around like a mad dog.”

“You even called yourself a mad dog, so I am really willing to let it go.” Little An rolled up the car window and said faintly, “Because the Fungal Demon inside the former Parasite has already died, the one-sided connection and information reverse writing will be limited by the individual’s information memory content, as well as the complex bacteria inside the individual’s body, so there is a certain possibility of failure. However, the failure regarding Sister Yao, Little Yao, and Jiang Yuan stems from the fact that they themselves have a considerable degree of affection for you, so subconsciously they are very willing to accept this illusory memory.”

Chen Fengshi could only wipe his hand over his hair in self-mockery and lamented, “I knew I was quite handsome, but I still didn’t expect to be so handsome that so many beauties are secretly in love with me. Alright, for a tragedy caused by being handsome, I have nothing to say. After all, handsomeness is given by my mother, genes are inherited from my parents, and temperament is cultivated since childhood. Facing a tragedy caused by such factors, what can I say? What else can I say!”

Chen Fengshi covered his heart with his hand, turned his face away, and looked out the window.

This speech of narcissism was too disgusting.

But his heart hurt very much—he knew himself that precisely because his heart hurt, he used such exaggerated and disgusting words to hide his grief, comfort himself, and force himself to grit his teeth and hold on, enduring the devastation of this heartless reality!

How unwilling he was… However, his father’s deliberate education time and time again was all to make him deeply realize a reality that must be faced for survival: whether willing or not, when pain comes, one can only face it. The faster he accepted it, the faster he adapted, and the faster he endured it.

The road outside the car window flashed backward rapidly, and Chen Fengshi’s hand tightly covered his heart.

Those memories, all the pictures of holding hands with Shen Ai, how he pursued her, and how they got along, all flashed by along with the road outside… Yes, it was all in the past, whether he was willing or not.

“A strong heart has two kinds. One is sometimes as hard as a diamond, able to resist everything; the other is like water, cutting water with a knife only makes it flow more, so it can withstand all harm, yet quickly recover, and contain everything. But diamonds are fragile, and water cannot withstand the evaporation of passion. Therefore, the strongest heart should be as hard as a diamond on impulse, and at other times filled with boundless water…”

Chen Fengshi looked at the mirror, thinking of the words in his father’s notebook, and muttered to himself.

Little An listened and listened, and finally could not help but speak up and shout, “Have you gone crazy from being overly hit?”

“…What kind of joke is this, can losing a love before even being in love make me, Chen Fengshi, go crazy?” Chen Fengshi felt this was absurd. Yes, after facing the result, against the backdrop of reality, his grief was as absurd as could be described by this one sentence. “Then if I had loved and lost, would I have to commit suicide?”

“Dying for love is nothing strange.” Little An’s tone was cold, and she even mocked, “Since you love so much, I would even admire your courage if you killed yourself in despair.”

“Leave the suicide to you, and leave the chance to admire to me!” Chen Fengshi took a deep breath. Although he had not fully recovered, he felt he was already much calmer. It was as if he was answering Little An, and also as if he was reminding himself to face reality faster and recover his calm faster, as he fired off a string of words like a machine gun.

“My mother treated me like a treasure for twenty-two years, and my father, who disliked wasting time and energy so much and was unbelievably lazy, still spent twenty-two years of thought on me! Did they do all that just to raise a piece of trash who commits suicide? Would my above-average IQ allow me to do something so brainless? What kind of joke is this—who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe there will be a way to solve the problems that can’t be solved now; maybe Shen Ai will find a good man who outshines me by miles and marry him, marrying in a way that leaves me with no temper, making me willingly feel that it’s a good thing I didn’t hold her back; maybe one day I will suddenly and muddledly fall in love with someone else, and only have simple well-wishes for Shen Ai?”

Chen Fengshi said these words to himself—Little An certainly understood this. So, it was not until Chen Fengshi finished speaking and had been silent for a long time that she faintly opened her mouth and said, “I don’t understand your feelings. My happiest and most painful things are the same, which is when I hurt each other with my parents; and I think the two most stupid words are—love!”

Chen Fengshi did not refute, nor was he in the mood to discuss it, and he knew Little An would not be in such a mood either.

They really had nothing to say to each other. Their views on key issues were completely opposite. The most peaceful way to converse could only be to each express their own views, and shut up after expressing them, so there was no need to argue.

They were both silent, and the atmosphere in the car was also silent.

But the car was not quiet.

Not because of music; Little An had turned off the music long ago, turning it off when she told Chen Fengshi the bad news.

It was because there was an abnormal sound in the dashboard, like a screw or a plastic piece bumping around inside, crashing east, west, up, and down with the movement of the car.

This sound had actually been there for a while, but Chen Fengshi’s attention had been completely self-enclosed just now, so he only noticed it at this time.

“This needs to be repaired…” Chen Fengshi did not know what to say. He had just finished hurting for Shen Ai, and immediately after, he had to hurt for his wallet.

“Obviously.”

“Beautiful Little An, can we not go to the Four-Ai-Death Shop?” Chen Fengshi’s eyes revealed an earnest plea. However, Little An responded with a very fake, brief smile, and as the smile quickly vanished, she answered resolutely, “Impossible!”

Chen Fengshi instantly collapsed onto the dashboard and wailed exaggeratedly, “Let me cry for a while!”

With this collapse, Chen Fengshi and Little An both immediately heard that the source of the abnormal sound in the dashboard had clearly gained another one…

So Little An smiled, genuinely smiled. “Go ahead and cry!”

“…I, I am now wanting to cry but having no tears!” How could Chen Fengshi still dare to cry? If he cried out another abnormal sound, he would have the heart to strangle himself!

Little An could not stop laughing. After a while, she simply pulled the car over to the side of the road, looked at Chen Fengshi, and laughed until tears came out.

Chen Fengshi did not have such a mood; her laughter was all his pain points!

The Four-Ai-Death Shop still had to be visited. Chen Fengshi felt this was a shop where you get slaughtered to death.

However, that was a matter for tomorrow.

The car stopped at a gas station. Both of them were hungry. Little An looked at some things sold inside the gas station and wandered around to take a look, while Chen Fengshi took this time to look around nearby to see if there was anything to eat. Right now, he only craved large portions of staple food to fill his stomach. Anything else was not even enough to pick his teeth, and he had absolutely no interest in it.

When Chen Fengshi walked out of the gas station, he did not notice that the car driving in behind him was an R8.

Sitting in the car were Sister Yao and Liu Shuzhi. Sister Yao saw Chen Fengshi and happily wanted to send him a message, but then she noticed a black Mustang getting gas, and she had an impression of that license plate!

“Bastard! Tricking me into going to the hospital, while you are fooling around with a bitch so late at night!” Sister Yao angrily got out of the car and slammed the door shut. She strode into the gas station’s mini-mart, and when she saw the back of a figure dressed in black with long curly hair, she walked over furiously and cursed, “Se Xun, do you want to die?! How dare you hit on my man?”

When Little An turned her head to look, Sister Yao, who was rushing over, had already slapped her!

This slap was originally very fast. Little An hurriedly tried to block it but failed. She quickly leaned her head back, but her face was still grazed by the fingers, instantly leaving three red marks!

It was only then that Sister Yao saw clearly that it was not the Se Xun she thought it was. However, the hit had already been made, and no matter who it was, she was still a vixen fooling around with Chen Fengshi in the middle of the night!

And Little An? The burning sensation on her face instantly ignited the flame of anger in her heart!

When had she, Little An, ever suffered such a loss?

On the spot, she didn’t care about anything and fiercely stepped forward. Using the momentum of grabbing the arm that had missed its block, she pushed forward hard.

Sister Yao, whose brain had short-circuited for a moment because she hit the wrong person, quickly stepped back and twisted her body, but she was still pushed in the shoulder. Her posture became unstable for a moment, and her lower abdomen was kicked by Little An. She was immediately kicked back several steps and ultimately fell out the main door of the gas station’s mini-mart.

The people at the gas station wanted to intervene. One went to persuade Little An but was stared back by her cold glare, and another was slapped to the ground by Sister Yao, who had just stood up.

“Are you blind?” Little An walked out of the mini-mart’s main door, raised her hand to touch the burning spot on her face, and saw no blood, which made her relax a little. Then she saw the appearance of the person standing up. Relying on the information obtained from the Fungal Demon Primordial Body, she recognized her as Sister Yao. She was secretly relieved. If her body had not been strengthened by the Fungal Demon, her strike would not have been so fast, and her strength would not have been so great.

“Whoever hits on someone else’s boyfriend is the blind one!” Sister Yao found that although she had been kicked, it was not as painful as expected, and she felt as if nothing was wrong. Remembering what Chen Fengshi had said, she felt even more confident now, and she was determined to test her skills on the woman in front of her. Of course, she was not willing to suffer a loss for nothing!

Sister Yao took out a pair of brass knuckles and put them on. She accelerated her steps, twisted her body, and with her long hair flying, she threw her whole body at Little An!

Her attack was fierce, and Little An’s response was not slow either. Her figure quickly rushed forward while doing a mid-air spin and kicking straight at the lower body. Sister Yao completely did not expect this and was immediately kicked in the calf. Her body lost control and flew forward, falling at the entrance of the mini-mart.

Little An calmly tidied her hair and sneered, “Fighting with me, Xu An? You must be drunk!”

Liu Shuzhi, who was originally in the car, had gotten out long ago, but seeing that they were women, it was not convenient for him to help. At this time, seeing Sister Yao suffer another big loss and Little An’s tone being so arrogant, he strode forward. Sister Yao stood up again and shouted to him, “No need to help! I will deal with this stinky bitch myself!”

“I admire your backbone, and I will definitely beat you until your mouth is full of blood as a reward.” Little An was dismissive; she had already seen that Sister Yao’s fighting experience was very limited.
