Chapter 3355: No Way There Was Some Romantic Past between Them?

Mei Ziqing propped her chin up with her hand, looking at Ning Shu. “What’s your relationship with that guy?”

“No relationship at all,” Ning Shu said outright.

She should be the one asking what kind of relationship 2333 and that guy had.

No way there was some romantic past between them?

Ning Shu felt unbearably curious.

Seeing that Ning Shu didn’t seem to be lying, Mei Ziqing didn’t pry any further.

“When your system notified me, I thought something serious had happened. I rushed over and saw you hugging a pillar, crying,” Mei Ziqing said with some schadenfreude.

Ning Shu: Damn it, black history…

Wailing in public…

Ning Shu couldn’t even remember the last time she had cried like that.

But strangely, after crying, she felt more at ease, like a taut string in her heart had finally loosened.

It wasn’t like she couldn’t cry. She could cry, and she could laugh.

The road to strength was long, but happiness—happiness was something she could have right now.

Even if, deep down, she was still a little girl curled up in a ball, crying.

That little girl in her heart could grow up slowly.

“What do you want to eat? My treat,” Ning Shu said to Mei Ziqing.

Mei Ziqing looked at her. “Did you get hit too hard?”

“Do you even have merit points or faith power left? Didn’t you just spend fifty thousand faith power?”

Ning Shu said grandly, “I can still afford to buy you a meal.”

Mei Ziqing chuckled and waved to the waiter. “Menu, please.”

Judging by Mei Ziqing’s expression, she was planning to take full advantage of this treat.

“This is hush money, isn’t it?” Mei Ziqing asked. “You’re afraid I’ll spread the story of you hugging a pillar and crying, right?”

“If you’re not hugging a pearl while sleeping, then you’re hugging a pillar while crying. What’s with you and pillars?”

Mei Ziqing flicked her hair. “Are you trying to bribe me?”

Ning Shu let out a dry laugh. “Bribe you for what? Even if you tell people, no one knows who I am. And even if they do, I’ll just deny it’s me.”

She spread her hands and rolled her eyes. “I fear nothing.”

“Shameless,” Mei Ziqing scoffed.

Mei Ziqing picked up the menu and ordered some dishes. Then, she told Ning Shu, “When we get back, exchange for something that can calm your mind. You need to adjust your mentality, or you’ll end up like Le Qing.”

Ning Shu nodded. “Got it. Thanks.”

“Sigh,” Mei Ziqing sighed. “I don’t want anything to happen to you. Le Qing already cost me half my life. You count as my friend too.”

“I think you’re cursed. Anyone who gets involved with you ends up in trouble,” Ning Shu teased.

Mei Ziqing looked at her silently and said in a ghostly tone, “Yeah, you’re probably doomed.”

Ning Shu: …

The dishes arrived. Mei Ziqing pushed a bowl of soup toward Ning Shu. “Drink this. It helps calm the mind. Are you in a lot of pain?”

Ning Shu took a sip. “A little, but I can bear it. It’s just that inside, I kept looping through the same cycle.”

Every time, there was no good ending.

Helplessness and fear consumed her completely.

Suffering pressed down on her again and again.

Like an ant, whose entire existence could be crushed by the smallest accident.

A single speck of mud was enough to bury an ant.

Now that she was weak again, Ning Shu finally understood—weakness was never an excuse for the strong to exploit.

A truly strong person would never take out their frustrations on the powerless.

True strength meant standing at the top, overlooking everything, neither fussing nor getting angry.

When doing tasks, one must try to minimize the impact, except for matters related to the entrustor.

Even a small change can feel like the sky collapsing for ordinary people.

Ning Shu drank another sip of soup and smacked her lips. “Tastes a bit like dishwater.”
