Others may not know, but Deng Cong was very clear that Xi Cheng came from a prestigious university.
If he could help Shanshan, he would also be able to temporarily swallow the bitter pill of having his daughter snatched away.
Xi Cheng got Deng Lishan’s WeChat, and then he added her.
But Deng Lishan was very cautious, and despite several attempts, he couldn’t succeed until he revealed his identity, and only then did Deng Lishan approve his request.
After adding her as a contact, Xi Cheng didn’t beat around the bush, and asked directly, "Where are you?"
Deng Lishan’s heart was racing in anticipation, yet she tried to stay cautious in her reply, "On my way back to Yancheng."
She wanted to see Xi Cheng, yet she feared that once they met, things would spiral out of control.
The girl’s thoughts were all tangled up like a ball of yarn, impossible to cut through or untangle.
Xi Cheng: "Send me your license plate number and itinerary. Next time, a girl shouldn’t travel alone."
Deng Lishan blushed because she had lied, so she quickly looked up the next high-speed train and sent the information to Xi Cheng, "Don’t worry, I am safe."
Xi Cheng: "Are you afraid of me?"
Deng Lishan: "Yes, I am afraid."
Afraid that she’d lose control once they met.
Xi Cheng: "This train is tomorrow night at ten."
Xi Cheng: "If you’re not smart enough, don’t try to deceive people. Where are you?"
Deng Lishan: "At the Four Seasons Hotel near the filming crew."
Xi Cheng: "Room number."
Upon seeing those three words, Deng Lishan’s heart thumped wildly, but it seemed that things had already come this far, and she couldn’t miss this chance, so she sent her room number. However, immediately after sending it, she started to panic. What would she say when they met? What should she do? Would she be so flustered that she would mess everything up?
Even though they had seen each other every day before, today she felt exceptionally nervous.
It felt like a century passed in those mere twenty minutes, and when the doorbell outside her door finally rang, Deng Lishan then covered her heart and got up to open the door.
But as soon as the door had barely been opened, a cold figure with a breeze whooshed through the opening.
Deng Lishan carefully checked the corridor to make sure no one had noticed before she followed and closed the room door.
Inside, the room was dimly lit.
Xi Cheng sat on the sofa, looking at Deng Lishan with eyes that seemed to be examining her.
"I know skulking around is annoying, but I just wanted you to know someone remembers your birthday."
"Remembered it, and then?" Xi Cheng asked.
"I don’t mean anything else, I don’t want to burden you." Deng Lishan said with her head down, feeling uncertain and anxious inside.
"Deng Lishan, are you trying to live out your rebellious teenage phase with me?" Xi Cheng asked again, "Sensitive and presumptuous."
"I know I’m still young..."
"It has nothing to do with being young or not. I just want to tell you not to rush into the adult world, it’s not as nice as you think. And don’t waste your time on me, we are not walking the same path."
Xi Cheng’s words were very straightforward and clear, which made Deng Lishan’s throat tighten, but she had known all along that this would be the result. Xi Cheng wouldn’t give anyone hope, because he never gave himself any.
"If you understand, once you go back, think about your own life, and don’t get too involved with me. I don’t want to have ties with anyone, including you, no exceptions."
At that moment, Xi Cheng’s blunt words weighed down like a thousand pounds on Deng Lishan’s heart, which sought to redeem others, shattering it completely.
"I understand, so can you leave now?" asked Deng Lishan, "There’s no need to make this trip just to scold me."
"I wanted to say it to your face."
"You already did." Deng Lishan replied while holding back tears, "Leave."
Xi Cheng clenched his fist slightly, then left Deng Lishan’s room. However, as he reached the door, he added, "I’m staying in the room next to yours tonight, and I’ll take you to the train tomorrow."
Deng Lishan didn’t say anything. After closing the door, she went to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and sobbed her heart out.

The next morning, Xi Cheng got up and knocked on Deng Lishan’s door, but the housekeeping staff cleaning the hallways told him she had left hours ago, without leaving a single word, stubborn as a rock.
That’s it, keep away from him.
Xi Cheng took out his phone, intending to confirm that Deng Lishan was safe, but he saw the last WeChat message she had sent him.
"I am so good, you really don’t deserve it, you will regret this."
After reading the message, Xi Cheng did not reply, but he knew that someone had blocked him.
Xi Cheng had a feeling he would regret this, but he didn’t know that his regret would come so swiftly.
On the third day after Deng Lishan left, a scandal suddenly broke out in the outside world.
