Chapter 33
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This room was only for guests of Visitors from Outer Space. The paparazzi had no hope of getting in. The bouncers at the entrance and exit were very strict. After all, it was a trendy club in the capital. If something happened, it would offend the big shots who came here.
Shang Ke was an artist who was also known as the crowned prince of the capital. He was not worried about being photographed here. He was not worried about his reputation.
“You pulled that bullsh*t just now because you saw Shang Ke?” Wen Qing asked the embarrassed Shang Li.
Shang Li stammered her assent.
“You didn’t have to,” Wen Qing said calmly. “I’m going to call off our engagement anyway.”
Shang Li was not surprised to learn that. She said, “It was only a matter of time.”
“Why were you so sure?” Wen Qing felt that Shang Li was hiding something from her.
“I know your astrological sign, and I know Shang Ke’s. He’s practically your nemesis.” Shang Li had not answered the question.
Wen Qing was speechless.
When did she read up on astrology?
However, as soon as she heard that Shang Ke was practically her nemesis, Wen Qing felt that she could not delay the dissolution of the engagement any longer.
“Wen Qing, I have a question for you.” Shang Li’s face was serious.
Wen Qing caught the change in her expression. “Ask away.”
Although Shang Li had always known that Wen Qing liked Shang Ke, she did not know why she liked him. This had always been a secret. However, Wen Qing seemed to have let go of him, so Shang Li took the opportunity to ask her about it. She said, “Since you’re going to call off the engagement, can you tell me why you fancy Shang Ke?”
She wanted to know why she fancied him?
This implied that Shang Ke was not a good suitor.
However, he was not bad; he just could not compare to Shang Yinghan.
Wen Qing’s gaze flickered to Shang Ke’s back.
He had not seen her at all. He was flirting with the woman next to him. Wen Qing knew that he did not have a girlfriend, but he was very good at flirting. Sometimes, Wen Qing felt that he was flirting around because of her.
Perhaps he wanted her to back off.
There was no one else, as far as she knew. Wen Qing retracted her gaze, and thought about their shared history. Then, she spoke slowly. “In the third year of high school, we went to Maiden Peak. I didn’t bring proper protective gear, so I got snow blindness. Shortly after, I broke my leg. Do you remember that?”
Shang Li gasped. “I remember it very clearly. You broke your leg and had to wear a cast for a month. In trying to save you, I broke my arm. That was a hard day for us.”
Wen Qing looked at Shang Li, smiled, and continued. “The search and rescue team sent us to two different hospitals one after the other. We were all treated as soon as possible, but we couldn’t return home because of our injuries. I stayed in the hospital.”
Shang Li’s expression turned serious as she listened.
“At that time, I wasn’t doing well. My broken leg would slowly recover thanks to the cast. I thought that my snow blindness would only last for two or three days. However, my snow blindness lasted for more than a month.
“Several test results told me that I was completely blind. I also learned that the effects of snow blindness can last forever. I needed to undergo an operation to be able to see again. However, I couldn’t have the operation straightaway. So, I had to bear being blind for more than a month.
“I was very pessimistic. Shang Ke kept me company. I couldn’t stay in the ward for long. The smell of disinfectant made me very anxious. I wanted to go outside every day. Shang Ke would carry me out.
“There’s a small dam with one hundred and two steps outside the hospital. Recuperating patients went there to exercise. Once I heard about it, I wanted to go there. Shang Ke carried me there once, and I liked it very much. I liked how the wind felt on the highest step. It felt like it could blow away my anxiety, just for a little while. Shang Ke carried me all the way up there. He even gave me the shirt off his back in case I felt cold. My request was so unreasonable, but he carried me up there every day. We went up and down countless times.”
At this point, Wen Qing’s expression was slightly sad. She turned to Shang Li and said, “That’s why I like Shang Ke.”
