Chapter 268: Chapter 232 I’ll Support You (Two in One) Chapter 268: Chapter 232 I’ll Support You (Two in One) In Cheng Zhu’s room, Chen Jieyu listened to his words and couldn’t help but raise her eyes to meet his gaze.

Her eyes first revealed boundless astonishment, then gradually became more complex, and finally, she had to quickly lower her head, staring intently at the wine glass in her hand.

She didn’t want Cheng Zhu to see that her eyes, behind her gold-rimmed glasses, were already slightly red.

Comfort is a very common word.

But coaxing is not.

For many girls surrounded by love as they grow up, it might not mean much.

If Lin Lu were there, her heartbeat might speed up a little, and she might teasingly say, “Hey, you’re kind of slick!”

But Chen Jieyu was different.

The word “coax” often reminds people of soothing a child.

But was her childhood like that?

She was merely an unwanted daughter at home, a girl marked as a “money-losing commodity” from birth.

She trod very carefully at home, fearing to make mistakes.

From a young age, she had to help with household chores, and children sometimes make careless mistakes, but what awaited her was anger, and even physical abuse.

Moreover, the more you cried, the more fiercely they would scold and beat you.

The more irritable they would become.

Being soothed–that was an experience she never had.

Even her mother, who was her only emotional support, would just keep repeating the words “be sensible” to her.

Of course, there were also occasional “be strong”, “be obedient”, “go apologize”, “sweet-talk” and so on.

Later, when she went to university, she worked hard for scholarships and to earn money through part-time jobs.

Having stepped into society early, she naturally suffered its harsh beatings.

Coming from a small place to a big city, she could clearly feel how out of place she was.

Her journey was tough, propped up entirely by her own determination.

She had heard words of comfort, but sometimes when you tear open your wounds for friends to see, you only get temporary solace.

You think they are a sealed hollow tree, but they might share your troubles as gossip to others.

Next thing you know, your pain intensifies.

For Chen Jieyu, emotional value was what she dearly needed.

And this thing, Cheng Zhu knew too well how to provide.

Merely a simple word like “coax” had enormous destructive power on her, causing her emotions to burst forth disastrously, losing all defenses.

Chen Jieyu had long gotten used to self-consumption.

Yet strangely, the two times she encountered Cheng Zhu, she emotionally collapsed, embarrassing herself in front of him.

“Didn’t you say you were feeling a bit better, why are you crying again?” Cheng Zhu got up to the bedside to get some tissues, then handed them to her.

Sometimes, the act of crying is quite miraculous.

You might have originally been silently weeping, suppressing it for a while and it would have gone away.

But when someone points out that you’re crying, asking why you’re crying, my goodness, suddenly the tears flow uncontrollably like incontinence.

Cheng Zhu watched Chen Jieyu continuously shedding tears like little pearls, silently sitting across from her.

It’s not that he, this damn man, really didn’t want to console; it’s purely that he felt, “In this state, she might as well be deaf, not hearing what you’re saying at all.”

He believed that at this moment, Chen Jieyu was immersed in her own emotions.

Her perception of the outside world was weakening.

Indeed, that was the case.

Of course, the instigator was definitely Cheng Zhu, this damn jerk.

He was poking at her heart.

Honestly, Chen Jieyu was definitely younger than him before his rebirth.

But compared to him now, Chen Jieyu was much older.

Moreover, he was a student, and she was a counselor.

But if you look closely at some men interacting or dating women older than themselves, some men use a tactic, consistently calling the other “sister.”

This has its own intrigue that can be delicately appreciated.

Of course, if one wants to be a little puppy to an older sister, that’s a whole different story, a different route altogether.

What Cheng Zhu just did had a bit of resemblance to this behavior.

Chen Jieyu cried for several minutes, and Cheng Zhu kept handing her new tissues.

Finally, as she took another tissue, she said softly, “Thank you.”

Cheng Zhu then leaned forward slightly, looking at her face, and teasingly said, “This time is better, your eye makeup didn’t even smudge.”

This immediately reminded her of the last time she messed up her eye makeup crying in front of him.

“I didn’t wear any today,” she put down the tissue and said.

Chen Jieyu hadn’t applied eyeliner or mascara at all that day.

Cheng Zhu smiled, sat on the sofa chair, lifted a corner of the window veil, and looked outside through the floor-to-ceiling window.

Then, his eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly.

Good lord, a casual glance outside and he got to enjoy the drama!

“Look outside,” he started inviting Chen Jieyu to join in the voyeurism.

The counselor glanced at him with her eyes still slightly red and then looked out the window with a confused expression.

Soon, her face also showed slight amazement.

They caught Liu Feng and Chen Tingting kissing!

“Among the three sworn brothers, Liu Feng is the closest to my heart.”

“Also, out of respect for women.”

“Forget it, I won’t take pictures!” Cheng Zhu thought.

If he sent such a picture to Chuaner, Chuaner would probably socially die on the spot.

Cheng Zhu purely enjoyed the scene as a spectator, while Chen Jieyu felt quite differently.
