Chapter Thirty-Eight: Breaking Away from Relationships

She sighed and was about to sit down, but she received a call from Yan Momo again.

"Ah Sheng! Congratulations! ”

Hearing Yan Momo's slightly joking congratulations, Shi Sheng was surprised: "Congratulations? Congratulations to me on what? ”

"You still want to hide it from me? I know it all! ”

"Know what? Momo, I don't understand what you're saying! ”

"Eh, didn't you go to Jinyue Bay with Mo Yuqian last night?"

Shi Sheng was stunned for a moment, "How do you know?" ”

"Haha! Yue Qing and I also went to Jinyue Bay for dinner last night, and I originally wanted to go to a Western restaurant, but I heard that Mo Yuqian had chartered the venue, so I didn't go. Yan Momo made a funny "tsk" a few times, and after a while, she continued: "I guessed that your senior Mo must be proposing to you." ”

Shi Sheng was stunned, uneasiness and worry arose, his heart seemed to be blocked by a stone, and he suddenly panicked.

Gu Yueqing was there last night? In other words, he also guessed that Mo Yuqian was going to propose to her? So what would he think?

She thought about it for a while, made an excuse to Yan Momo, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

During the shift, Shi Sheng's mind only had one thing in mind, that is, to explain this matter to Gu Yueqing, so that he could not misunderstand that he had accepted Mo Yuqian's marriage proposal.

Although at this time, she couldn't tell the reason why she was so anxious, whether it was for the dean's treatment fee, or whether she just didn't want him to misunderstand, she didn't even have time to think about the two reasons, which one had a greater proportion.

After the night shift, when Shi Sheng returned to the community, the surroundings were already silent, and only the sound of autumn cicadas on the trees could be heard from time to time.

The dim street lamp shone on her body, and the black shadow was cast on the cobblestone path in front of her, and after walking a few steps, her shadow was trampled by a person's foot in front of her, and she suddenly raised her head and met Gu Yueqing's gloomy face.

Gu Yueqing stood in front of the apartment door, with his hands behind his back, his thin lips pursed, and then turned around without saying a word.

Shi Sheng was startled by the sudden appearance of him in front of him, and didn't react until he saw him turn around, because he was in a trance, and he couldn't remember whether he had opened his mouth to tell him to follow, so he subconsciously followed him.

Gu Yueqing, who was walking in front, frowned, he only felt upset after seeing her, so he turned around and left. But I didn't expect her to follow.

Opening the door, the two walked in one after the other.

He stood in the living room with his back to her, and only turned when he heard the door slam shut, his bright eyes glinting strangely in the dim darkness, and his delicate red lips pursed.

After only looking at it for a while, he remembered what he had heard at the Golden Moon Bay Hotel last night, his calm gaze suddenly became sharp, and the air around him also froze.

"Congratulations to you and Mo Yuqian."

There was no light on in the room, only the faint light from the outside was projected from the balcony, because of the backlight, Shi Sheng couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, only felt that the corners of his mouth were slightly slanted, and the words he said were more like a contemptuous sarcasm.

"Do you think it's thrilling to follow me home while looking forward to your engagement with another man?"

His tone was cold, as if it was coming out through the ten thousand years of ice, which made her body tremble slightly.

She bit her lower lip hard, trying her best to suppress her hurt emotions. On the way up the stairs after him, she had been thinking about how to explain it to him, and she had imagined what kind of emotions he would have.

However, she had imagined his anger and was mentally prepared, but she did not expect him to mock herself and belittle her character in this way.

After hearing his words, Shi Sheng stubbornly didn't want to explain anything to him anymore.

Gu Yueqing stared at her tightly, he was waiting for her explanation, even if she thanked her, or she refuted her words, he was willing to accept it. However, she just bit her lip and remained silent.

Seeing that her red lips were bitten by her and turned strangely pale, he stepped forward and pounced on her.

Shi Sheng's back hit the door panel, making a "bang", she stared at the man in front of her, and the close contact burned the anger on his body to her, and the burning skin ironed between her cold textures, causing her to tremble slightly.

The cold and affectionate lips pressed down, and she drove straight in, domineering and cold, without a trace of pity and emotion, and her struggle seemed to him as if she was overwhelmed.

I don't know how long it took, Gu Yueqing, who was standing next to the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony, didn't say a word, and the cigarette between his right fingers came out of the smoke.

The vulture's gaze was fixed on Shi Sheng, who was curled up on the sofa, her head hanging down, her empty eyes staring at the ground without focus.

His heart throbbed like a thin rope pulling at his heart, and the heart rubbed against the blood vessels, giving rise to unbearable pain. Looking at her like this, he felt annoyed by his own impulsiveness just now.

Shi Sheng looked at the ground, but thought about a lot of things, about his college days, about Gu Yueqing, about Yan Momo, and about the orphanage.

Just after the pain had passed, her heart began to empty, like a hole that would leak wind, and the cold wind was blowing everywhere.

"Gu Yueqing." She spoke lightly, but didn't look up at him.

After hearing her voice, Gu Yueqing didn't respond to her, but just kept looking at her in the posture just now.

"It's best for us not to meet again in the future, thank you for the treatment fees you helped the dean pay during this time, I will return the money to you as soon as possible." As she said these words, her heart sank.

As early as when Yan Momo came back, Shi Sheng had already made up his mind to break up the relationship with Gu Yueqing. But by mistake, the two have always been entangled,

The chopping continues, and the rationality is still chaotic. Breaking the thread like this will only hurt each other more, and it will also cause more people to be injured.

She can always think of a way to pay for the dean's treatment, and no matter how poor it is, she can still borrow money from the bank. And Gu Yueqing and her are the top priorities that must be broken as soon as possible.

"For the sake of both of us, it's better for us to get rid of all relations."

When she spoke, she spoke very slowly, and she spoke clearly every word. Gu Yueqing stared at her and was silent. Until the cigarette in his hand burned out, burning his fingers, and between the burning pains, he dropped the cigarette butt almost reflexively.

He tilted his head and glanced at the cigarette butts that had burned out on the ground but still had a faint fire, and a certain part of his body seemed to have been lost suddenly, and he wanted to reach out and grab it, but his body was so stiff that he couldn't move.

"Okay."

After a moment, it was as if he heard his own voice.

When Shi Sheng heard this, he seemed to be relieved, and he seemed to have lost himself. She got up from the sofa and was about to leave, but was stopped by Gu Yueqing.

She raised her head and saw him walk into the room quickly without saying a word, and after a while, just when she almost suspected that she was just having auditory hallucinations, Gu Yueqing walked out of the room.

"There's five million here." As he spoke, he placed the check in his hand on the coffee table.

"Just take it as compensation for the past three years that you have been by my side."

When the autumn season changes, it is the node when the hospital wants to promote the chief physician, Shi Sheng has always been conscientious in the hospital, and the director also recommended that she prepare for the exam.

"Senior, I'm going to be busy lately, so you don't have to come to accompany me anymore." Shi Sheng said on the phone.

Since the second week after the last time she slipped away from Jinyue Bay, Mo Yuqian has returned to her usual habits, and will go to the hospital every day to check in and accompany her, and the colleagues in the hospital will also pay attention to the two of them with envy as usual.

During the time the two spent together, Shi Sheng often wandered and always felt guilty. Until the day before yesterday, probably Mo Yuqian mistakenly thought that she was so absent-minded only because of the marriage proposal, so he suddenly expressed his mind to her again the day before yesterday.

Hearing him repeatedly express his willingness to wait for her to forget Gu Yueqing's words, Shi Sheng felt heartache.

"It's okay, I'll just wait for you in your office when you're busy."

When she came back to her senses, she had a serious resistance in the depths of her heart, and she was quickly suppressed by guilt again.

"Recently, the hospital is going to promote the chief physician, and I need to prepare for the exam, so I need to study in retreat during this time." She explained.

"So that's the case, well, why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier?"

"I just decided to take the test."

"I support you, so how about you prepare well and invite you to dinner to celebrate after the exam?"

She replied with a smile: "It should be me to invite a senior." ”

"Hehe, it's all the same. Then you study hard, I won't bother you. ”

"Hmm."

She hung up the phone, stared at the phone for a long time, and suddenly rang again for some reason, Gu Yueqing's last words that night rang again: "Just take it as compensation for the past three years that you have been by my side." ”

She shook her head vigorously, trying to get the sentence out of her head completely.

When Li Guo arrived, he saw her standing in front of the library door and shaking her head constantly, and her high ponytail was also flung from side to side.

"Ah Sheng, what are you doing?" She took a few steps forward, frowned and patted Shi Sheng's shoulder hard, and after hearing the voice, she glanced at her hand with annoyance, thinking: It seems that the strength used is a little too much.

Shi Sheng's movements froze, holding down her head, which had been thrown a little dizzy by her, and seeing the strange expression on Li Guo's face as if he had seen a ghost, he realized what he had just done.

A layer of crimson on her delicate face cleared her throat, "My neck is a little sore, I heard that shaking it can relieve the soreness." ”

"Really?" Li Guohu glanced at her suspiciously.

"Forget it, let's go, let's go in." As she spoke, she put her hand on Shi Sheng's shoulder, and her chin was slightly raised towards the door of the library.

"Hmm."

Shi Sheng found a few books on the bookshelf and began to study seriously. In fact, she is not very interested in whether she can pass the promotion exam this time, and the main reason is that after being promoted to the chief physician, her salary can increase a little.

At the same time, she also hopes to use the exam preparation to distract herself a little and stop herself from thinking nonsense.

When she heard Gu Yueqing say that the five million was used to compensate her, her heart hurt more than ever, and she couldn't tell what it was like, and at that moment, she couldn't breathe.

Even how she returned to her home from Gu Yueqing's house at that time was confused, her steps were floating, and the hollowness and weakness of her body made her feel like she was about to disappear into this world.

By the time she came to her senses, she was already lying in her bed, and it was already dawn, and she almost suspected that she had just dreamed, but there was a real check for five million next to her bed.

When Li Guo came over with the book, she noticed that Shi Sheng was in a daze again, she knocked lightly on the table and shouted in a low voice: "Ah Sheng! ”

"Huh?"

Shi Sheng tilted his head to look over, and his dull eyes made Li Guo feel bad.

"Ah Sheng, what's the matter with you?"
