Chapter 110: Redemption

Chu Cimo then gently pulled along Bai Shanshan. She sat down while her heart was emotionally moved and also filled with shock.

She liked Chu Cimo.

She had liked him since junior high because he was always an extremely dazzling existence.

Chu Cimo’s external appearance was undoubtedly top grade. He was even more handsome than celebrities. Even during junior high, when all the boys were still growing up, she already had her eye on him despite his skinny figure.

She had also discovered that Chu Cimo would grow nervous when taking the elevator.

Although he appeared normal on the surface, Bai Shanshan realized that this was called claustrophobia.

She remembered that the school had once organized a night party. On that day, Chu Cimo fell asleep while watching, and after the party was over, everyone returned respectively.

However, Chu Cimo never left.

At that time, she suspected that he might have been locked up in the hall. After all, he had fallen asleep there.

When she thought about his claustrophobia…

Bai Shanshan quickly ran to the hall and heard Chu Cimo making a phone call. “Why didn’t you guys check to see if there are others here before you locked the door? You guys can even lock someone up? All of you must be drunk…Quickly come and open the door! …What? You all need half an hour?… Ah, what do you mean that I must be afraid? How can that be possible? Stop joking and quickly come here to open it as soon as possible!”

Bai Shanshan. “…”

(This person has such an unyielding mouth.)

After that, she heard him singing in the room and knew that he was scared. Bai Shanshan then pondered. She knew that a young man would surely want some face, so if he were to discover that she knew he was afraid, he most probably would ignore her forever.

Hence, Bai Shanshan thought of a solution.

She sat at the staircase outside and started to sing.

She sang for half an hour until she saw a bright light and other people’s voices coming from afar. It was only then did she run away.

Two months later, they went to the same senior high. Bai Shanshan wanted to go to the same university as Chu Cimo, hence, she put in all her effort and studied assiduously during her senior high years.

Her results were improving steadily, but there was always a distance between her and Chu Cimo.

Chu Cimo was either gaming every day or would be on the way to gaming. His learning time was two-thirds lesser compared to Bai Shanshan. Back then, Bai Shanshan studied fourteen to fifteen hours every day, on the other hand, it was already considered very good for Chu Cimo to study five hours per day.

But even so, Chu Cimo, who usually scored around the top 100 in his school, actually got first place in the entire school during the college entrance examination. He became one of the top five in Sea City and went to Tsinghua University.

At that time, this matter was considered pretty shocking.

Some people even privately said that Chu Cimo’s family must have bought the exam questions in advance, or he must have bribed the examiners…In any case, despite everyone doubting Chu Cimo’s results, Bai Shanshan trusted him.

She had been quietly paying attention to Chu Cimo, so she understood him very well.

Some people were born innately clever.

Although he looked frivolous, Chu Cimo would always spend a few days revising before a test began. Although sometimes his actions looked perfunctory and seemed to be going through the motions, Bai Shanshan knew that he was seriously studying.

Others might take an entire term to fill their brains with the relevant knowledge, but Chu Cimo could do the same a week before the examination.

Because he was pretty casual and didn’t practice much for his yearly school tests, he would always rank around 100th rank.

Bai Shanshan worked so hard, but she could at most only get into the 70-plus ranking. But even so, for his sake, she still went to the same university in the capital.

After that, she saw Chu Cimo chasing a lot of girls in university. He had many girlfriends and gained a bad reputation. She then felt hurt and was eventually discovered by the talent agent Yan Zihao.

She was thinking that maybe if she became a celebrity, her status might be good enough for her to stand beside Chu Cimo as she could finally be worthy of him.

Hence, she decided to join the entertainment industry.

At the university, she was paying attention to Chu Cimo. His performance in terms of the arts, and his results were both very good. But during graduation, he suddenly gave up the chance to continue further studies and also gave up the opportunity to stay in the capital. He then resolutely returned to Sea City.

After that, he began living his life as a silkpants young master.

No matter how bad Chu Cimo’s reputation was, he was still the second young master of the Chu Family, a target that everyone wanted to fawn over in Sea City. Although he appeared frivolous, Bai Shanshan knew he was actually very impressive.

He could do whatever he set his mind to.

Someone like this was indeed a dazzling existence.

Earlier, he had treated her like that most probably because he cared for her feelings, right? Could it be that he was still looking down on her in his heart?

The light that had just shone in Bai Shanshan’s eyes dimmed once again at this instant.

“Shanshan, gogogo, sing a song!”

“Bai Shanshan, come on, sing a song!”

“I remember Bai Shanshan’s voice is very pleasant. I just don’t know if being fat would affect her voice?”

“I think it would have some effect. After all, fattiness would affect one’s lungs…”

She lowered her head and could sense the eyes of everyone on her, including their mocking sneers and curious looks…

She could no longer hear the music from the KTV clearly.

Yan Zijing wasn’t afraid that Bai Shanshan would sing her song privately. After all, the equipment in a KTV was different from the equipment on stage. Even if Bai Shanshan’s voice sounded similar to ‘hers’, people would feel that Bai Shanshan was imitating her.

“Sing!”

“Haha, damn fatty. Quickly sing.”

“This fatty is so ugly…”

“How can someone with your appearance stand on the stage?”

“Weak coward! Just give up!”

“Stop dieting. Give it up, you have no hope…”

Various voices ‘drilled’ into Bai Shanshan’s mind. The urgings of her ex-classmates were mixed together with Yan Zijing and Yan Zihao’s mocking voices…

She suddenly couldn’t distinguish reality from the illusory.

Hence, she abruptly stood up and directly ran outside while ignoring the others!

She wasn’t able to sing upon being stared at by so many people. Her throat wasn’t able to emit any sound!

When Yan Zijing saw Bai Shanshan running out, a hint of astonishment appeared on her face. But after that, she revealed a contemplative look.

She looked at Chu Cimo. “Mr. Chu, Shanshan…”

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Cimo already stood up and chased after Bai Shanshan.

Yan Zijing’s countenance sank.

Outside the door.

After Bai Shanshan left the room, she suddenly didn’t know where she should go.

She panicked, and it felt as though she was drunk. Everything in her vision was warping. When she was pressing her hands against the wall for support, she suddenly felt that pair of warm hands holding her once more.

“Bai Shanshan, what’s the matter with you?’

Chu Cimo’s clear voice rang out once more in her ears.

Bai Shanshan felt even more agitated when she saw that it was him.

She knew that she currently cut a very sorry figure.

Although the weather was no longer so hot, she was fat. Hence, being nervous caused her to sweat a lot. She could feel her sweat drenching her clothes throughout her body.

Because of it, she pushed Chu Cimo away in a panic and fiercely pushed open the door leading to the stairway as she fled into it.

She didn’t want to see anyone! Most of all Chu Cimo!

She wanted to head down, but her legs grew limp and she wasn’t able to exert any strength. The only thing she could do was to curl her body and slowly lean against the wall as she squatted down, facing the corner.

She used her broad back to face the malice of the world.

Her body was trembling…

Her mind was in chaos…

But at this moment, a clear singing voice suddenly rang out “…Light is up ahead, we will head there together. Do you want to? Let’s go! We have to advance courageously forward, not fearing any difficulties! …”

This was a popular song ten years ago [Courageously Advancing Forward]. It was also the song Chu Cimo had sung those years ago when he was trapped inside the school hall.

She started and involuntarily started humming the song.
