Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 834: Chapter 834 Despicable Thoughts

The sound of flushing came from the bathroom, and An Hao intended to return the maple leaf.

Her actions paused, and she stopped.

Cheng Yu came out from the bathroom and saw An Hao standing motionless by her bed, still holding the red maple leaf she had tucked into the pages of a novel. Cheng Yu was momentarily startled.

But it was only a moment, the panic in her eyes quickly vanished, replaced by the same smile as always.

”Do you like it?” Cheng Yu approached, smiling as she looked at An Hao.

What An Hao once thought was a genteel and graceful smile now seemed to her utterly disgusting and pretentious.

”Yes, I really like it!” An Hao curled her lips upward, a cold look flickering in her eyes, ”Ms. Cheng, since you have so many maple leaves, why not give this one to me? After all, you gave something to Qin Jian just earlier, but not to me—I felt a bit unhappy about that.”

Cheng Yu chuckled and said, ”I’m sorry, but I can’t give you this leaf! This is the only maple leaf I have, and I like it very much, I cherish it a lot!”

”Is that so? But Ms. Cheng, you gave your most precious gift to Qin Jian. Why be so stingy with me? Ms. Cheng, do I mean less to you than Qin Jian?” An Hao smiled, her words slow but edged with sharpness.

”That’s not the case at all.” Cheng Yu’s expression turned slightly unpleasant, but the smile on her lips never faded, ”You and Qin Jian are a couple after all, giving it to him is the same as giving it to you, right? Besides, this is my most cherished item. I don’t think you would want to take away what someone loves, right, An Hao?”

”Ms. Cheng, so you know about taking away what others love?” An Hao laughed lightly, ”But, Ms. Cheng, I really have taken a fancy to this maple leaf. It’s just a leaf! Can you really bear not to give it to me? If you can’t, I might start to wonder if your getting close to me had an ulterior motive!”

Cheng Yu’s smile grew thicker: ”Since you like it so much, I’ll give it to you! But, my things aren’t just up for grabs without anything in return.”

An Hao looked at her, eyes tinged with coldness: ”What do you mean, Ms. Cheng? Is this a provocation? A warning? Or a threat?”

Cheng Yu laughed softly, her smile gentle yet chilling: ”Take it however you want. Today you took away my most cherished possession, and in exchange, I will also take away what you cherish most... I’m sure you know exactly what I’m talking about.”

Fury flared in the depths of An Hao’s eyes. She grabbed the cup of water from the table and splashed it all over Cheng Yu’s face, ”You’re the first person I’ve seen who can talk about such lowly and filthy intentions so self-righteously! It’s a pity you have a beautiful face, but beneath it lies a heart oozing with foul pus. To put it more bluntly, you have no shame!”

”Say that again!” Cheng Yu raised her hand and stepped forward, aiming to slap An Hao, but unexpectedly, An Hao took two steps back and furiously threw the novel back into her chest.

”Someone with such disgusting thoughts doesn’t deserve to read such a noble book! Ms. Cheng, keep your schemes to yourself, I don’t want to become enemies with you one day!” Having said that, An Hao turned and left.

Cheng Yu stood still for a long time without moving, her fists clenched tightly, her chest heaving with rage!

She tore page after page out of the novel in her arms until it was shredded to pieces.

Never in her life had she suffered such an insult! It was a disgrace! A disgrace!

She was determined to avenge this disgrace! She was someone who had struggled back from the brink of death, not even afraid of dying, what more was there to fear!!
