280 Forced Smile

Impossible. It must be all in her mind. No, no!

Jian Dan left Li Garden before dawn because she was afraid that Chu Liyuan would see her swollen eyes…

Before she left, she left a note for Chu Liyuan. She said that the professor had called her last night, so she had to go back to school early to prepare for class today…

Chu Liyuan left the study at 7 a.m. He wanted to go to the office before Jian Dan woke up. Then he saw the note she left saying that she was going to school and realized she had left early in the morning.

How could it be so simple? It must be because he had gone overboard last night, and Jian Dan was angry and did not want to see him.

After eating breakfast absent-mindedly, he went to the office…

Jian Dan—who had left Li Garden early in the morning—did not know where to go, so she could only go to Mengjiao's place. After watching Li Jing go to work, she knocked on Mengjiao's door.

"Oh my God! What happened to you? Come in quickly!"

Who came so early in the morning? The moment she opened the door, she saw Jian Dan outside with eyes that were swollen like goldfish. She must have cried for a long time to be like this.

Mengjiao pulled Jian Dan into the house and made her sit on the couch while she went to the kitchen to get an ice pack. She gently applied it to Jian Dan's eyes.

Perhaps she had cried for too long. The moment the ice pack touched her eyes, she felt as if her eyes were pricked by needles.

"Jian, what happened to you? Have you eaten?"

"No! You know what? I'm hungry!" She forced a smile.

"I'll make you something to eat!"

Ten minutes later, piping hot noodles appeared on the table.

She picked up her chopsticks and ate the noodles…

She did not know if it was because she had cried too much last night, but there was not a single tear left now. She just felt very hungry.

"Mengjiao, your culinary skills are not bad! The noodles taste really good!"

Not only the noodles, but even the soup was slurped up by Jian Dan. Now, there was only an empty bowl in front of her.

"Jian, what's wrong? You look a little scary now!"

"Mengjiao, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. Can I sleep for a bit at your place?"

Mengjiao felt that Jian Dan was acting very weird. She did not know what had happened to Jian Dan, so she could only go along with her.

"Sure! I'll make your bed!"

"What bed?! That's your and Li Jing's wedding bed. How can I sleep there? I'll sleep on the couch!" She fell onto the couch and closed her eyes…

Mengjiao was very worried when she saw the way Jian Dan was. She had known Jian Dan for so many years. Other than the time when she was betrayed by Shen Jiaqi, she had never been like this.

All she could do now was to silently stay by Jian Dan's side and give her warmth, letting her know that she was not alone.

Jian Dan did not know why, but she suddenly felt very tired at Mengjiao's place. She just wanted to have a good sleep…

Jian Dan lay on the couch and fell asleep in a daze. In her sleep, she felt like she had fallen into chaos. She was in a gray place and could not see her surroundings, nor could she sense her direction. She did not know what to do.

When she woke up, it was already noon. Mengjiao had already prepared lunch.

"Jian, come and have lunch first!"

She sat at the dining table and looked at the food on the table. "Mengjiao, you're really skilled now. These look good!"

"Tuck in!"

It hurt Mengjiao when she saw Jian Dan's forced smile. It was even worse than seeing Jian Dan break down from crying.

Among Jian Dan's friends, Mengjiao was the one who understood her the most. After all, the two of them had known each other for the longest time. Although Jian Dan was an outgoing, lively, mischievous, and happy girl in the eyes of outsiders, Mengjiao knew very well that there had always been a weak spot deep down in Jian Dan.

Once that place was touched, it would easily shatter her…
