Chapter 424: Her Black-Framed Gla.s.ses

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ruan Jing looked like she was in a hurry. Her long, curly hair, which was usually tied neatly, was now casually tied up behind her head with a large hairpin. She was even wearing large black-rimmed gla.s.ses.

As soon as she entered, she did not dare to sit down and apologized to everyone.

“You don’t have to apologize for such a small matter. It’s just being late. It’s normal for everyone to be like this after getting to know each other,” Chu Yi covered her mouth and laughed as she said this lightly.

Instantly, Ruan Jing’s face turned red. It was not because she was familiar with everyone that she forgot her manners, but…

She could not explain the reason.

“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. I’ll definitely come earlier next time.” Ruan Jing bowed deeply again and adjusted her gla.s.ses unnaturally.

Chu Yi wanted to say something, but Sheng Chuan interrupted her.

“I prepared your breakfast today! Come and have a taste!”

Ruan Jing was still full of apology and self-blame. She hesitated and did not know what to do. Sheng Chuan placed the tray on the dining table, walked to the front of the crowd, and pulled Ruan Jing away.

When he pulled her over, he shot Chu Yi a warning look.

Chu Yi immediately fell silent and did not dare to say anything else.

It looked like Sheng Chuan was planning to let Ruan Jing have breakfast first before they would start today’s event. They had all arrived early and had already had breakfast. Ruan Jing was in a hurry, so it was obvious that she had not eaten anything.

“I’ve never been in the kitchen before. This is my first time making it. If it doesn’t taste good, you can have toasts. I bought that,” Sheng Chuan sat opposite of Ruan Jing and said gently to her.

Even though it was just an ordinary fried egg, Sheng Chuan had made it into a mess. The egg white and yolk were mixed together, making it look a little broken, and the edge was charred.

Ruan Jing was a little stunned. She used her fork to pick up the fried egg and take a bite.

“It’s very… It’s delicious…” The large, black-framed gla.s.ses covered most of the appreciation in Ruan Jing’s eyes. She lowered her head and gulped down the simple breakfast.

While she was wolfing down the food, Sheng Chuan kept muttering in a low voice, “Xiao Jing, don’t take it to heart. Chu Yi never has anything good to say. She was late herself, so how could she have the face to criticize you? Yesterday, she even deliberately spread rumors about me and Lin-jie. She’s really sick. I was so angry that I scolded her for the entire nizht…

Ruan Jing’s heart softened when she heard his words of comfort. The fried egg was not seasoned at all, so it was not considered a delicious fried egg. However, Ruan Jing had not been cared about so much in a long time. Compared to the taste, the fried egg had more important value.

[Sheng Chuan looks like a high school student, but he’s actually so good at flirting?]

[I’d be touched to death if it were me. Sheng Chuan didn’t ask anything and stood on Ruan Jing’s side straightaway.]

[It’s too obvious that he’s protecting her. I love this pair so much too!]

“Why are you wearing gla.s.ses today? Are you nearsighted?” Sheng Chuan suddenly changed the topic and asked about Ruan Jing’s gla.s.ses.

Ruan Jing swallowed a mouthful of toast and replied, “Yes, I studied till it was late every day when I was in school. The lighting was too dim, and my eyes were damaged.”

“Why weren’t the lights changed for you? It’s not worth it to make your eyes short-sighted.” Sheng Chuan was a little angry. He thought that Ruan Jing’s family did not change the lights because they wanted to save money.

This surprised Ruan Jing. Her fingers rubbed the round pattern on the milk bottle and she revealed the unhappiness that she had hidden for many years.

“My dad didn’t support me in studying, so he didn’t let me turn on the lights. At first, I used the flashlight to do my homework, but my dad scolded me very badly. Later, I went out to study under the streetlamp.” Ruan Jing looked up carefully, but she saw the undisguised heartache on Sheng Chuan’s face.

She had the urge to have a heart-to-heart talk with Sheng Chuan then and there.

Ruan Jing revealed a relieved smile. “Fortunately, I left that house after my exams. I can also wear contact lenses now. My big gla.s.ses look a little old-fas.h.i.+oned, right? I bought this for myself after I found out that I was short-sighted. I worked part-time in the optician shop for a month for this!”

The Sheng family was not short of money. The children of the Sheng family could choose their own path, but the requirement was that they must be the best, or they would have to accept the family’s arrangements.

Even though Sheng Chuan had been unruly since he was a child and loved to be mischievous, the Sheng family had never mistreated him. The most miserable period of his life was the half a month when he and Sheng Zhi sneaked out to look for his aunt.

It was hard for him to imagine that Ruan Jing had lived such a life since she was young when she was clearly such an outstanding girl..
