Huo You woke up in the hotel bed, her temples throbbing. She couldn’t help but hold onto her head and groan in pain before falling back heavily onto the bed.
She then smelled the scent of alcohol on her body. After one night, it had turned into a sour and stinky smell.
This smell reminded Huo You of the days she lived in the urban village. Every time she passed by the garbage dump at the street entrance, she would smell this scent.
This was especially so in summer. When rotting kitchen trash got mixed with other trash, the entire urban village would smell very bad.
It was a memory that Huo You hated. For some reason, it suddenly barged into her mind this morning when she was drunk.
Huo You rushed into the bathroom to wash up and make herself clean again. Only then did she feel a little better.
The memories from last night gradually returned to Huo Feng. She recalled how she had gotten drunk in a bar, how she had gotten into a conflict with two men with bad intentions, and then how she had been rescued by Zhao Feng, who had suddenly appeared.
Huo You remembered all the interactions and conversations between her and Zhao Feng clearly. She recalled how she had gotten close to Zhao Feng when she was drunk and made him feel at a loss. Huo You couldn’t help but smile, but this smile was very short and disappeared in an instant. After smiling, a trace of disappointment rose in Huo You’s heart.
Zhao Feng was a very good person. If she had met him earlier, if she had interacted with such a man in her distant past life, even if she couldn’t develop feelings of love between a man and a woman with him, but as a friend, she wouldn’t have had so many pessimistic and despairing thoughts about life and the entire world, right?
Unfortunately, the most powerless word in this world was ‘if’. Huo You thought to herself that she hadn’t met a person like Zhao Feng in her previous life. Furthermore, in this life, because of Huo Tian, she held preconceived disgust toward Zhao Feng. This was probably fate’s prank on her, right? It allowed her to be reborn, but it also prevented her from getting anything she wanted.
At this moment, Huo You was exceptionally pessimistic. She should have firmly grabbed onto the only person who had shown her kindness, but after hesitating for a long time, she only sighed and contacted a friend in the student union with whom she had a friendlier relationship with. She had that friend play the role of a middleman and transferred a sum of money to Zhao Feng. It was just enough to pay off the fees for the hotel room fee that Zhao Feng had helped her with, as well as the compensation given to the man who had been splashed with alcohol last night.
After Si Huan’s reminder last night, Zhao Feng also thought that he had gotten himself involved with big trouble. However, when he saw the transfer notification on his phone and the student union member’s message, he fell into an endless dilemma. Huo You’s attitude was so straightforward that Zhao Feng didn’t know what to do.
Huo You had just washed up when she received a call from Mrs. Huo.
It was unknown if Mrs. Huo hadn’t realized that Huo You hadn’t returned home that night, or if she didn’t care about where she had gone or if she would encounter danger. After the call went through, Mrs. Huo went straight to the point and said, “Huo You, you haven’t forgotten what you promised us last night, have you? I hope you can fulfill your promise as soon as possible and apologize to Tiantian as soon as possible to solve the trouble you caused.”
Huo You smiled mockingly and said coldly, “Okay, I understand.”
Mrs. Huo wanted to say something else, but Huo You didn’t want to hear another word from her and hung up.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she saw that the clothes were bought and brought back by a hotel attendant. The style was ordinary, so she looked ordinary.
Moreover, Huo You’s face was very pale, her eyes were dull, and her lips were dry. In short, she looked sloppy and down..
