Chapter 54: A Lie

“Chen Fengshi, what are you doing!” Shen Ai was originally holding Jiang Yuan back from rushing out, persuading her that since Chen Fengshi was already here, they should communicate properly. Suddenly, she saw him walking over silently while taking off his clothes!

At past five in the morning, on the silent peak of a small mountain, a man notorious for playing with women walked over while taking off his clothes—how could they not be scared?

Shen Ai asked nervously, and Jiang Yuan was also shocked by Chen Fengshi’s baffling action. The two of them held each other’s hands and unconsciously tightened their grip.

Chen Fengshi simply hung the shirt he took off on a branch of a tree at the top, then looked at them and said: “Scared? Didn’t you get several abortions for me? Why are you as scared as Shen Ai just from seeing me take off my shirt?”

“I’m not scared!” Jiang Yuan retorted stubbornly.

Shen Ai helped her say: “Of course acting like this suddenly would scare people.”

By this time, they could all see that Chen Fengshi’s hair, clothes, and pants were wet, which definitely didn’t look like it was caused by climbing such a short mountain path.

Shen Ai thought that he still ran over in this state, and felt that he wasn’t that bad after all. In fact, she had never felt that Chen Fengshi seemed like a bad person in the past; she completely didn’t understand how he could have done so many outrageous things!

After Jiang Yuan noticed this, she couldn’t help but ask: “Why are you soaked all over?”

Chen Fengshi had originally pondered several plans, but hadn’t decided which one to use. After all, he had no experience, and all his basis came from TV, movies, and novel stories.

However, when Jiang Yuan asked this, he suddenly made a choice and blended the roles from two of his plans. So, he calmly leaned against the railing, looked at them, and said: “I went crazy in the water with a newly met beauty.”

As a result, Shen Ai was dumbfounded… Her face turned pale with anger!

What a heartless and shameless person this was! Jiang Yuan almost committed suicide for him, yet he actually said such things right to her face? Even if such a thing happened, he shouldn’t say it to Jiang Yuan personally at this time!

Shen Ai was so angry that she was too agitated to know what to say. She couldn’t say extremely vicious curses, but she felt that the heartlessness and shamelessness of the man in front of her truly made her want to use vicious and ugly words to describe him!

So, she could only be too angry to speak.

Jiang Yuan was stunned for two seconds. When she reacted, she howled and charged at Chen Fengshi, mindlessly scratching and hitting his head, face, and body.

“How could you do this! How could you treat me like this! I was so good to you! Why did you treat me like this!”

Scratch it, hit it… Chen Fengshi silently let her go crazy, only paying attention to prevent her fingers from poking his eyes. But actually, Jiang Yuan had no intention of aiming for his eyeballs either. After all, it was venting, and she still had basic sanity.

Seeing Chen Fengshi calmly taking it without any reaction, and not stopping Jiang Yuan for a long time, Shen Ai couldn’t stand watching anymore. She felt Chen Fengshi deserved it, but crying, shouting, scratching, and hitting couldn’t solve the problem. Even for venting, it should know when to stop, right?

So she persuaded: “Jiang Yuan, calm down. Whatever you should say, whatever you want to say, take advantage of now and make it all clear! You’ve also seen how shameless this person really is! I really suggest you make a clean break with him!”

Jiang Yuan cried, her voice getting weaker and weaker. She was also tired from hitting, so she stopped her hands, just holding Chen Fengshi tightly, and asked again: “How could you treat me like this…”

Chen Fengshi saw that she had vented almost enough, then opened his mouth and said his blended lines. “I am a person who believes in true love. What is true love to me? It is the warm intimacy that can still remain long-term in a steady stream after passion, and if occasionally a brief passion bursts out in this warmth as an embellishment, then it’s even more perfect.”

Shen Ai really felt that hearing the words “believe in love” and such a speech coming from someone like Chen Fengshi was simply ridiculous! But she held back and didn’t speak, because now it was time for Jiang Yuan to talk to him. As an outsider, not interrupting was the most basic rule.

“Then why? I love you so much, I was so good to you. You said not to tell anyone about our affairs, so I didn’t tell anyone, I even kept it from Shen Ai! For you, I had three abortions, every time I was especially sad, my body was especially weak, yet I still insisted on going to class, not daring to tell anyone. You said you had no time to accompany me and I never complained about you. I love you so much, why do you treat me like this? Why do you still have unclear relationships with so many women behind my back?” Jiang Yuan was full of incomprehension and full of grievance.

Chen Fengshi didn’t answer, and continued to express his blended role image according to plan, his voice also remaining steady. “True love is like this to me, but its indispensable condition is—time. Only after being washed by a long enough time, what still remains firm is true love. I never think true love is easy to get; on the contrary, I think it is very difficult. So, I must search more actively. If the chance of true love is only ten percent, then isn’t the chance great if I look for ten opportunities? Then what about twenty? Thirty?”

Shen Ai’s mood could no longer be described; she felt her worldview was overturned. A man who played with so many people’s feelings could actually say so seriously and so righteously: he was doing it to pursue true love. Moreover, the logic sounded like it could justify itself…

What was wrong with this world? Bad people doing bad things with beautiful motives?

Jiang Yuan was also stunned by listening. In all her years growing up, she had never heard such absurd nonsense that somehow seemed to have its own logic!

“Jiang Yuan, I don’t know if you are the ultimate true love that I pursue. I cannot confirm this point now, nor can I deny this possibility. This is my thought about you, and also my thought about others. Don’t ask me if I love you, and don’t ask me who I really love. All that has ended, has been judged as not true love, and I will quickly forget and discard all of these. And all that has not ended, is possible, and is also what I love.” Chen Fengshi said these words very seriously; he felt the blended words were perfect.

He was sure that if he were Jiang Yuan, hearing these words, he would definitely first give a crisp knee strike to the groin, then two slaps left and right, and after that, turn all the contempt and disdain into saliva and spit it right in the face!

Shen Ai was truly stunned by Chen Fengshi. What a shameless person this was… Didn’t this mean that to be with him, one must accept his current and future state of continuously cheating with twenty or thirty people at the same time? She originally didn’t want to interrupt their communication, but at this moment, she finally couldn’t bear it anymore and pulled Jiang Yuan, saying: “What else is there to say? For a person like this, you should wake up! One minute earlier you end it, one minute earlier you jump out of the fire pit!”

Jiang Yuan was similarly stunned, staring at Chen Fengshi in disbelief, letting Shen Ai pull her out several steps, before suddenly waking up as if from a dream, crying and screaming at Chen Fengshi: “You’re lying! You’re lying! You took a fancy to Sister Yao’s family money! You chose her! So she stood up for you, and you deliberately said these things just to dump me! You liar! Liar—I absolutely won’t let you have it easy!”

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, she suddenly exerted force to break free from Shen Ai, and from the nearby railing, leaped out—leaped out!

She just leaped out like that!

Chen Fengshi’s mood… he had no time to savor it at all.

He was originally very satisfied with his soft role lines; those words, no woman with a normal brain would accept them.

But, Jiang Yuan just leaped out like that!

He didn’t even have time to say a curse word, directly vaulted over the railing, even pushed off the railing with his feet and hands to borrow force, making the speed of his body flying out even faster!

Shen Ai hurriedly chased and tried to grab her, but grabbed nothing. She watched helplessly as Jiang Yuan’s body leaped over the railing and fell towards the lower part of the hillside! Her heart instantly rose, tightly gripped, as if she could already see the terrifying scene the next moment—so, she felt her mind suddenly go blank!

Just as Jiang Yuan was about to fall, Chen Fengshi, who darted out from the side like a cheetah, landed on his back first, and caught her in time.

However, the inertia of flying out sent them rolling down the hillside. Chen Fengshi hugged Jiang Yuan, protecting her as much as possible, especially her head and face. If a woman was disfigured, she would probably commit suicide again.

During the repeated rolls, Chen Fengshi tried his best to use his arms to bear the impacts, avoiding Jiang Yuan’s head from suffering collisions. He also used the strength of his legs and feet to try to reduce the rolling momentum, but even though his strength was great enough, he couldn’t effectively exert force while rolling. He finally stepped on a rock, and the rock was sent flying along with him; he stepped on a bit of ground, and the dirt also flew out along with it.

So after rolling like this for over a dozen circles, Chen Fengshi saw a tree ahead. He used both hands and feet, pressed a single palm on the dirt and rock to forcefully change their rolling direction, and ensured that it was his back that hit the tree!

This collision’s impact made Chen Fengshi’s chest feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he was not injured.

Finally stopping under the tree, when he sat with his back against the large tree, he again felt that the physique brought to him by the Golden Power of Life was in order to safely survive the torment of the Fungal Demon’s scapegoat aftereffects.

He looked down at Jiang Yuan, and found that she seemed scared silly, not having recovered yet, her eyes empty, seemingly still in lingering fear.

This was not strange. Chen Fengshi had long heard that many people who commit suicide were equally fearful during the process, and afterwards, very few would attempt suicide a second time.

Catching his breath, Chen Fengshi looked towards the mountaintop direction. He felt they actually hadn’t rolled far, and originally wanted to tell Shen Ai to let her rest assured. Unexpectedly, he looked up and saw Shen Ai already coming down the hillside, watching as she missed a step, slipped and fell a short distance, but fortunately stabilized in time.

Chen Fengshi looked with shock and heartache; he truly hadn’t expected Shen Ai to directly chase down!

This was a true friend! Her concern for Jiang Yuan was so genuine!

“Don’t come down, it’s fine!” Chen Fengshi shouted loudly.

Shen Ai did not stop, continuing to carefully go down the slope, worriedly shouting and asking: “Jiang Yuan, how is Jiang Yuan? Is she injured?”

“Both are fine! You stand there, I’ll bring her up!” Chen Fengshi certainly couldn’t sit still. Seeing Jiang Yuan’s eyes still showing panic, it was obvious she hadn’t recovered yet. Relying on his great strength, he carelessly carried her horizontally in front of him, and walked back with big strides.

Shen Ai saw that Chen Fengshi could still walk as fast as flying while carrying a person, only then did she stop, anxiously looking at the silent Jiang Yuan.
