Chapter 332: There Are No Eternal Enemies

Jian Yixin was quite frank: "Do you think I didn't want to keep pestering him? But he had no place for me in his heart at all; he thought you were dead and was bent on dying himself. You have no idea how jealous I was of you back then..."

She told Shi Youxuan that when everyone thought she was dead, her younger brother Jian Yining had spent a month at sea with a salvage team and even cut ties with their family, not saying a word to her for several years.

Sheng Hanyu did something even more extreme.

It was clearly Jiang Yadan who wanted to harm him and ended up killing herself by mistake, yet he took all the blame, with only one goal—he was bent on dying to be buried with her!

At the time, she, Sheng Zerong, and Yun Zhehao were racking their brains trying to get him out, while he was in the detention center coming up with all sorts of ways to die, effectively preparing to be buried with her.

High-IQ self-destruction is different from ordinary self-destruction.

Sheng Hanyu didn't choose a hunger strike; instead, he chose to break out of the detention center on his very first day!

No one knew how he got out, but when he was standing outside the detention center, walking back and forth as if he were taking a stroll, he was finally spotted by a guard.

The prison guard shouted at him, asking how he got out.

He didn't say a word and ran for his life.

Before he went in, Sheng Hanyu had studied the rules thoroughly and knew that if a jailbreak couldn't be stopped, they were allowed to shoot!

But he failed.

The guard didn't shoot; instead, he sent out a dozen police dogs, which grabbed his pant legs and dragged him back.

The second time, Sheng Hanyu left his cell again to go to the control room and touch the live wires!

This time he didn't succeed either; the detention center's newly installed surveillance cameras spotted him just as he was about to enter the control room, and he was sent back.

Later, such incidents happened several more times, until the warden of the detention center, in a fit of rage, dragged Sheng Hanyu into his office to lecture him.

If he wanted to die, no one could stop him, but he couldn't harm others, right?

Whether it was a jailbreak or a suicide in the detention center, the warden and the guards would all be in trouble along with him!

The warden begged him to spare everyone, saying they all had elderly parents and young children to support, and no one had it easy.

If he was bent on dying, he should wait until he got to Prison, where the regulations were relatively more relaxed.

When Sheng Hanyu arrived at Prison, the same scene played out all over again.

But through various coincidences, he didn't manage to die, yet he became a legendary figure inside the Prison!

Jian Yixin told the story very interestingly, and Shi Youxuan listened with great relish.

The two former rivals were now sitting together like friends, chatting about everything that had happened over the past five years.

Jian Yixin was very frank; she frankly told Shi Youxuan that she hadn't been willing to give up at first, but later, after seeing all the crazy things Sheng Hanyu had done for Shi Youxuan, she became willing.

She knew this man would never belong to her, so she finally let go of that relationship completely.

As for Shi Youxuan, Jian Yixin felt nothing but regret.

Jian Yixin didn't leave that day and stayed the night at Shi Youxuan's place.

The two women talked almost all night and only fell asleep when it was nearly dawn.

Just as she was drifting off to sleep, Shi Youxuan was startled awake by a loud knocking on the door: "Xuanxuan, Shi Youxuan, are you home?"

It was Sheng Hanyu's voice; he had rushed over as soon as he got off the plane.

Shi Youxuan went out and opened the door: "What are you howling about? The person inside is still sleeping."

"Is there anything to eat? I haven't eaten all night, and I'm starving now." Sheng Hanyu looked at her and gave a silly grin.

This guy was in a sorry state; his clothes were soaked through, his pant legs were splattered with mud, and his leather shoes, which were usually impeccably clean, were now unrecognizable.

"How did you end up like this?" Shi Youxuan looked him up and down.

It was drizzling outside, but there were cars, right? With a car, he shouldn't have ended up like this.

If he had done this on purpose to put on a show of misery for her, it would be too low.

"It's nothing, the car broke down halfway. I wanted to call you, but your phone was off, so I just ran here."

He really had run here.

"Can you find me some dry clothes to change into?" Before his first request was even met, he made a second one.

Her heart softened a little; even though she wanted to refuse, she let him in: "I only have women's clothes, can you wear them?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Shi Youxuan told him to wear the women's clothes, and Sheng Hanyu didn't feel embarrassed at all; it wasn't like he hadn't worn them before.

"There are leftovers from yesterday, do you mind?"

"I don't mind."

Shi Youxuan first took out a loose gray bathrobe for him.

The bathrobe was new, and the tag was still on it.

It was pure cotton and not very pretty, but she didn't know why she had bought such a bathrobe.

When Sheng Hanyu put it on, Shi Youxuan was speechless.

Did it have to be such a coincidence?

It was as if it had been tailor-made for him; the length and size were just right.

"I'll go heat up the food for you."

She put the leftovers from yesterday into the microwave and "dinged" them. When she took them out, Sheng Hanyu only took one bite before he could tell: "Did Yixin make this?"

"Right, not bad, you haven't even seen the person, yet you know who made the food?"

Shi Youxuan smiled casually and said nonchalantly: "Not only did she make the food, she even stayed here last night. Do you want me to call her out so you two can have a good chat?"

Even though she was smiling, Sheng Hanyu felt that this smile was very unusual.

"No need, no need, I don't want to talk to her, I only want to talk to you." Sheng Hanyu remembered that it was because of his ambiguous behavior years ago that so many things happened later, so he hurriedly tried to clear things up: "I haven't had any contact with her all these years."

It would have been better if he hadn't tried to clear it up; this explanation only made it look like he was protesting too much.

Shi Youxuan had a sharp tongue and wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass.

"Oh, what are you explaining? To explain is to cover up, and to cover up is the truth."

"What is there for you to explain to me? Whether you have contact with her or not has absolutely nothing to do with me. Even if you want to explain, you should be explaining it to Ze Rong..."

Shi Youxuan was addicted to needling people and was preparing to say a few more words, but her ear was pinched, and Jian Yixin gritted her teeth behind her: "Shi Youxuan, does a woman like you have any conscience at all? I told you so much last night; did you stuff donkey fur in your ears or something? Did you not listen to a single word?"

"Ouch, let go." Shi Youxuan turned her head to tickle her in the waist.

Jian Yixin was most afraid of this, so she let go, but her mouth didn't stop scolding Shi Youxuan for being sly, and having more tricks than a ghost...

Shi Youxuan retorted: "What are you in such a rush for? I was just saying it casually; a gentleman is open and poised, while a petty person is always full of anxiety..."

"Anxiety your uncle!"

Jian Yixin was so angry she blurted out a profanity.

She thought that once she explained things clearly to Shi Youxuan, it would be fine, but this woman was impervious to both soft and hard tactics, and even more unwilling to suffer a loss.

She kept harping on things from five years ago and wouldn't let it go; was it all for nothing, everything they had done in between?

She had to get her revenge in person, otherwise, she would feel uncomfortable all over.

But although Jian Yixin was fuming, in her heart, she actually admired this temperament of hers, where she would settle scores face-to-face.

Everything was laid out on the table to be discussed, and once said, it was over.

"Tsk tsk, Jian Yixin, such a gentle person like you actually swearing? I'm going to tell Ze Rong and see if he still wants to marry you!" Shi Youxuan made a face and stuck out her tongue.

She couldn't see it herself, but the expression Shi Ran had when she was being naughty was exactly the same as the one she had now.

Sheng Hanyu was mesmerized watching her.

"Don't stare at me; keep looking and I'll dig your eyeballs out." Shi Youxuan's feigned fierce look wasn't scary at all; it was cute-fierce.

Jian Yixin wasn't afraid of her: "Go ahead, go say it now. If I can't get married, I'll cause trouble for you for the rest of my life and be an eyesore..."

"Hmph, I'm a single woman, why would I be afraid of you? Do you think I, Shi Youxuan, was scared growing up?"

"Then I'll snatch your daughter away and make her my own daughter."

"Jian Yixin, you are shameless. If you want a daughter, go give birth to one yourself! Don't you dare have designs on my daughter."
