80: Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it.
The gentle sunlight filtered through the window, casting a glow on the pristine white bed.
Under the covers, something seemed to move, then an arm stretched out.
In waves of dizzy grogginess, Li Shuru rubbed her dark hair, then slowly opened her eyes, a post-drunk bewilderment shining through.
Staring blankly at the ceiling for a while, she seemed to realize where she was, suddenly sat up, and flung off the cover, looking down at her body in alarm.
Aside from some wrinkles, her clothes were intact.
She let out a long sigh of relief.
Assured that she hadn’t been taken advantage of, Li Shuru’s heart settled a bit, and then, she looked around.
It was indeed a hotel room, but she quickly noticed that it seemed to be a…
double room.
Her gaze landed on the bed beside her.
The bedding was tossed aside, and judging by the wrinkles in the sheets, someone had slept there, but they were now gone.
Li Shuru sat on the bed and began recalling the events of the last night, the scenes playing back in her mind.
Because of her father’s illness, she rushed to KIMI with the documents, then was coerced by that Brother He to drink, resulting in her getting utterly drunk…
But as for what happened after, how she left the bar, how she came to the hotel, and who spent the night with her, her memory was a blur, no matter how hard she tried to remember.
It had been a long time since she had been this drunk.
Last night, He Guangwen was obviously doing it on purpose, and for her father, she had no say in the matter.
Although her memory was fragmented, it was crucial to figure out what exactly had happened last night, and just as Li Shuru intended to call Liang Zhenlun, she happened to notice a note on the nightstand.
She quickly crawled over and picked it up.
“I have a class in the morning, so I left first.
I put the car keys in your bag.
Drive safely.”
Li Shuru froze, then quickly got out of bed to search her bag, and promptly found the keys to the Paramela.
She stood there, stunned.
Was it Jiang Chen who had brought her here last night?
Subconsciously, she looked back at the bed that had been slept in, then took out her cellphone from her bag.
“Did Jiang Chen come last night?”
After getting through on the phone, Li Shuru got straight to the point.
“Yeah, you were so drunk, I had no choice but to call Senior Jiang to pick you up.
Liang Zhenlun skirted the main issue, not mentioning a word about He Guangwen nearly taking Li Shuru away.
Stirring up trouble would do him no favors; on the contrary, he would be blamed by both sides.
But his omission didn’t mean that Li Shuru was unaware of last night’s situation; after all, she wasn’t a naive young girl.
“He didn’t get into a conflict with He Guangwen and his crowd, did he?”
“No, don’t worry about that.
How are you feeling now?
You really drank a lot last night.
When Senior Jiang took you away, you were completely out of it.”
“I’m fine.”
Li Shuru frowned slightly, feeling vaguely uneasy inside.
She fell silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, “Did Jiang Chen say anything when he came?”
“No.”
Li Shuru hesitated, then eventually decided not to ask anything more.
“Got it.”
After hanging up, she exhaled softly.
One thing was certain.
The person who had stayed with her last night was indeed Jiang Chen, no doubt about it.
If it had been that He Guangwen, her clothes would not have been so undisturbed.
Sitting back on the bed, Li Shuru held the note tightly in her hand, her brow still furrowed, showing no sign of relaxing.
Jiang Chen had left without a word and even returned her car keys; could it be that he was angry?
Angry that she went by herself last night without telling him and ended up drinking until she lost consciousness?
If she had been taken away by He Guangwen last night, Li Shuru knew all too well what would have happened.
Could Jiang Chen think that she had always been like this, a girl who could get drunk so easily, one who didn’t know how to respect herself?
Already feeling mentally foggy, her head began to ache even more.
Li Shuru quickly washed up, then left the room with her bag in a rush. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Getting in the car and settling into the driver’s seat, Li Shuru hesitated repeatedly but still didn’t call Jiang Chen, and instead drove toward the school.
Along the way, fragmented memories floated in her mind like jigsaw puzzle pieces.
Even though her mind was fuzzy, she could remember that someone had been by her side, taking care of her, while she vomited until she was dizzy and disoriented last night.
He passed her water, wiped her face, swept the floor, and covered her with a blanket…
Li Shuru’s eyes trembled with an indescribable complex emotion that had never been felt before, as if she were nervous, or perhaps even… panicked.
She pressed down on the accelerator.
“Buzz!”
The Porsche Panamera surged forward suddenly.
Noon.
After having lunch, Jiang Chen and Luo Peng returned to their dormitory, only to see a white sports car blatantly parked there.
“We’ll be going now.”
Luo Peng was used to such sights and, along with Li Shao and Bai Zheli, tacitly went into the dormitory building.
Li Shuru stepped out of the car and stared straight at Jiang Chen.
“When did you come back?”
Jiang Chen walked over with a smile.
“An hour ago.”
“Have you been waiting here for me all this time?”
Jiang Chen only asked tentatively, but to his surprise, the other party actually nodded.
“Why did you leave by yourself?”
Upon hearing such a question, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but be taken aback for a moment, vaguely feeling as if he was the kind of scoundrel who would deny responsibility after the fact, and now someone had come specifically to confront him.
But that wasn’t right.
Last night, he had played the role of a modern-day Mr.
Liu Xiahui, a downright gentleman and moral exemplar.
“I left you a note; didn’t you see it?
I had class in the morning.”
Li Shuru stared at him unblinkingly.
“Are you… mad at me?”
Jiang Chen was taken aback again, his eyes slightly widening, looking at Li Shuru standing there, he felt an unreal sensation.
This was the school’s most sought-after goddess, the one for whom countless men turned and twisted in emotional turmoil, and now she was actually worried about his feelings?
“It wasn’t intentional that I kept it from you.
I just didn’t want to trouble you with everything.
I thought that person was just coming to get some materials; I didn’t realize…”
Although not particularly experienced in matters of the heart, Jiang Chen was not stupid; he understood what it meant for Li Shuru to give him such an explanation.
It truly demonstrated that old saying.
Nothing is difficult for one who sets his mind to it.
“It’s alright; I understand.”
Jiang Chen shook his head, a mix of emotions in his heart.
“You really aren’t upset?”
The aloof and proud belle of the art academy now behaved like a woman plagued with insecurities.
“Really, I’m not.”
Jiang Chen grinned, “I know, you did it just for your uncle.”
Li Shuru looked at him for a while, as if confirming whether he was speaking from the heart; then she said, “I haven’t eaten yet.”
The tone sounded calm, but somehow it seemed to carry a tinge of grievance?
Jiang Chen, not lacking in sensitivity, immediately responded even though he had just returned from the cafeteria with Luo Peng and the others: “I’ll accompany you to eat.
Let’s go off-campus.
Luo Peng mentioned a good restaurant.
You drank a lot last night, so you should only have some light, liquid food for now.”
The proud Li Shuru surprisingly followed his suggestion obediently, nodding gently like a little bird leaning on a person with a soft hum of agreement.

As Jiang Chen reached to open the car door, he realized from the notification sound that he might need to hurry up with his time.
