Rebirth: She Became a Beautiful and Cool Bigshot

Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Take advantage of him Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Take advantage of him Shen Ci finished the canned water but left many orange segments lingering inside.

Meng Chuyue hesitated for a moment, then fumbled in her Oxford bag and took out a small cloth pouch.

Then, from the pouch, she took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks, a few small lotus leaves, and several meat buns.

First, she wrapped a meat bun in lotus leaf and handed it to Fu Song, then used the chopsticks to feed the orange segments to Shen Ci.

Meng Chuyue didn’t find her behavior inappropriate.

She even thought she was already thirty-six years old.

In her previous life, Zhao Sulan’s grandchildren had all been looked after by her, and the twenty-year-old Shen Ci appeared to her as a junior child.

Little did she know that in Shen Ci’s eyes she was a bright and youthful maiden.

Unrefined as she was, she was youthful and beautiful and should have avoided impropriety.

It was only because he had no choice just now that he let her feed him the canned water.

As for eating… surely not necessary?

For a moment, he suspected Meng Chuyue was taking advantage of him.

Just like many girls and even women he had encountered who, because of his exceptional good looks, harbored ulterior motives towards him.

He raised his limpid phoenix eyes to scrutinize her eyes and expression in secret and found her earnest and devout, which involuntarily reminded him of his grandmother, Wei Lan, the only woman other than his mother who had cherished him, who had been dead for many years.

His grandmother?

How old was his grandmother?

How old was the girl before him?

He must be seeing ghosts to link the two together.

However, it was a fact that Meng Chuyue had no ulterior motives toward him.

After feeding him the canned food, Meng Chuyue wrapped three buns with lotus leaves, placed them together with an unopened can of oranges at his feet, and stood up, clapping her hands, “Are you sure your injury is alright?

Are you sure I don’t need to take you to the clinic?”

Meng Chuyue had just realized that Shen Ci had injured his left leg.

If it was the left leg, then she needn’t worry.

As for why she didn’t doubt she remembered wrong, maybe it was Shen Ci’s left leg that was disabled in her previous life?

Because, in her previous life, the internet had deeply delved into Shen Ci’s experiences and mentioned a minor disability in his right leg at the same time Zhao Sulan injured her right leg; she had served her like an ancient maid for a long time, leaving a very deep impression.

Shen Ci had recovered some strength and pulled up his bloody trouser leg to show Meng Chuyue the wound.

The wound was indeed small, only the size of a fingertip, and showed no signs of inflammation.

“It’s just a flesh wound.

It bled a lot at first, but really it’s no trouble.”

Meng Chuyue smiled faintly and squatted down to organize her Oxford bag, “If that’s the case, then we’re leaving.

Xiao Song, hurry up and change clothes.”

The coal train had finished loading, and since Shen Ci was alright, she would proceed with her original plan to hop on the train.

Shen Ci thought she was just passing by; seeing her gaze directed at the coal train, he quickly said, “You’re not planning to hop the coal train, are you?

You shouldn’t lack the money for a ticket, why would you hop the coal train?”

Meng Chuyue hesitated for a moment, “I’m running away from a marriage and don’t dare to take the passenger train.

I am leaving now.

Oh, right, are you short on money?

If you are, I can lend you some.”

Shen Ci laughed, “…Are you this kind to everyone?

Aren’t you afraid… I could be a bad person?”

Meng Chuyue laughed awkwardly, “If I hadn’t already known you, I probably wouldn’t have helped you.

And besides, I can only lend you twenty yuan.”

Enough for a train ticket to Hai City would suffice.

Shen Ci laughed again, “I… am also here to hop the coal train; let’s go together.”

As he spoke, he attempted to stand up, but Xiao Song suddenly cried out in a bit of panic, “Who are those people?

Sister, they aren’t here to catch us, are they?”

Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci followed his gaze, and sure enough, a dozen or so men were running over aggressively.

Shen Ci narrowed his eyes and said to Meng Chuyue, “They’re from the coal mine, coming for me.

You should hurry and leave; didn’t you say you were going to hop the train?

Go quickly.”
