"Let us get off here, it's not good for the comrades to see us." Sheng Ning bowed her head, not looking at Shen Jianguo.
"Alright!" Shen Jianguo knew she made sense, but he couldn't help feeling hurt. Just a week ago, she had boldly confessed to him! How come she wouldn't even look at him now? He wanted to ask her if he had done something wrong, but was afraid of scaring her. So, he pursed his lips and drove away after dropping her off.
"Sheng Ning, didn't you like Mr. Shen?" Zhang Hongmei asked, supporting her as they walked.
"Many people like him, what am I?" After all, she once genuinely liked him, and now even though she didn't love him anymore, it was hard to face him with indifference. Rather than this, it would be better not to see him at all in the future.
"Oh, it's good that you understand."
"Do you also think I'm not good enough for him?" Sheng Ning turned her head, looking at Zhang Hongmei intensely.
Stared at by her eyes, Zhang Hongmei dumbly nodded.
"Sigh! If only I had known earlier." If she had seen things clearly in her previous life, she wouldn't have ended up as she did.
Recovering from her injury was very boring. Sheng Ning, with a cast on her right foot, didn't dare to be careless. In her previous life, she had aggravated her ankle injury by horseplaying carelessly, leaving her with aftereffects that caused unbearable pain during rainy days.
The area where the General Union Dance Troupe was located was empty, everyone was gritting their teeth through intense practice. Qin Cuifen also carefully followed the group, practicing dances late into the night every day. Only Sheng Ning stayed in the dormitory all day due to her injured foot, unable to go anywhere. During the day, she had to limp to the canteen to get food.
There were many rumors outside, and she knew without asking what they were saying. It was just like her previous life, when something happened, she was trampled into the dust. Now it was a bit better, with Qin Cuifang explaining everywhere, playing the pity card, so the harsh words had lessened.
When Sheng Ning heard Zhang Hongmei mention Qin Cuifen's matters, a trace of a cold smile appeared on her face.
There hadn't been any clear orders from the organization regarding this incident. Qin Cuifen was so anxious that she had a cold sore, busying herself with various displays. Sheng Ning had seen through it and couldn't care less.
"Sheng Ning, have you eaten?" That afternoon, Qin Cuifang, unwilling to give up, came to Sheng Ning's dormitory again.
In the room, Sheng Ning was reading a book.
"You never read before. What made you start reading now?" Qin Cuifen glanced at the densely written pages, finding herself unable to recognize any of the characters.
"To gain knowledge," Sheng Ning kept her head down, looking disinterested. With only a junior high education, she suffered greatly in society in her previous life due to her lack of education. Moreover, she thought of Xu Qigang, who although also came from a rural background, later attended the National Security University Advanced Command System. To be worthy of him in the future, she must study hard.
"Do you still want to go to college?" Qin Cuifen's eyes were as sharp as needles.
"What do you want from me?" Sheng Ning closed her book, having lost interest in reading.
Since the party, she had hardly spoken to Qin Cuifen. They both came from the same place and grew up together. She once considered her the best friend. Now, seeing through everything, Sheng Ning's heart bled with hatred, leaving no room to continue being sisters.
"Ningning..." Qin Cuifen smiled as she sat on her bed, "Even though I got dragged down by you in this incident, I won't blame you. What can I say, we are best sisters!"
