I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 97 Breaking the Ice
"I wonder what Brother Cheng is doing right now? Has he contacted you recently, Sister Li?"

"No, he doesn't even reply to a message. Sometimes he replies to Xiao Chen but not to me. I think he does it on purpose."

After Ye Li said those harsh words, his heart softened all of a sudden.

In fact, the three of them knew what was going on, so no one blamed Su Cheng for it.

He was feeling very angry because of the visit from his father and a relative.

First of all, the two elders were rather rude, which was totally inconsistent with Su Cheng's usual personality.

The second thing was their specific negotiation. It seemed that they asked Su Cheng for a large sum of money.

Judging from the expressions of the two elders when they left, they must have not reached an agreement and had a very unpleasant situation.

They don’t know what others think about this matter, but it will definitely not have any impact on Ye Li, Qin Fen, and Chen Suna.

Just get along with each other as usual.

Ye Li felt that she could even give in to Su Cheng a little these days and try her best to calm his emotions.

But Ye Li couldn't understand why Su Cheng hid himself and didn't see anyone.

Moreover, this matter cannot be confused with the Taihong case. They should be treated separately.

In fact, if we talk about the two things separately, they don’t have much impact.

The Taihong case was not handled as originally agreed, and suddenly "backstabbed" Xiao Chen.

Su Cheng probably had his own reasons, but it would be fine once we talked about it.

But now this kind of thing has happened again.

According to what Ye Li just said, it won't affect anything. They can just sit together and have a drink. She can let Su Cheng take care of her for the time being.

But if the two things happened at the same time, Ye Li didn't know how to deal with them. He could only observe the situation quietly.

The relationship between the four people became strained.

"Maybe... Brother Cheng has been feeling down lately. It's better for us not to disturb him."

Chen Suna understands the feeling brought by the latter incident best.

She really didn't know that Su Cheng also had a father like this, and his family situation was very similar to his.

Chen Suna felt regretful and thought she shouldn't have complained to Su Cheng.

What made her feel most sad was that Su Cheng also came from a similar family, but he still had to force himself to cheer up and comfort her.

She was wondering, when she told Su Cheng what happened, did it bring back Su Cheng's painful memories?

Of course there is!

No wonder the suggestions and methods Su Cheng proposed to her for dealing with the family were so perfect, and they were the best solutions from every angle.

Because Su Cheng himself had suffered such an injury!

"Master, Brother Qin, has Brother Cheng told you about his family?"

"No."

"rare."

After hearing this answer, Chen Suna felt like the sky was falling.

She felt that she was really ignorant.

Although the three of them had such a close relationship, Su Cheng never confided in them, but digested it silently by himself.

And she had to seek comfort from Su Cheng, letting another person covered in scars endure the pain to comfort her.

"What is Cheng's mother like?"

Ye Li hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell Chen Suna: "His mother passed away a long time ago."

At this moment, Chen Suna's apology to Su Cheng and her own guilt reached its peak!

"That's weird. Cheng-ge has never been like this before. He's usually a very optimistic person."

"Whenever I have troubles at work, I just complain to Cricket, and then we all laugh and it's over."

“I don’t know what’s going on now.”

Qin Fen explained and shook his head to show that he was very confused.

This question...Ye Li may not even know the answer.

but.

Chen Suna knows it very well.

Because she and Su Cheng are the same type of people.

Chen Suna is actually very optimistic in her daily life, and much more optimistic than most people.

But these are all illusions.

In fact, he is suffering from incomparable pain and torment in his heart.

Optimism, liveliness and cheerfulness are just bandages and Band-Aids to cover the wounds of her and Su Cheng.

Chen Suna knew.

But she didn't say it because it was unlikely anyone else would understand.

She also secretly made up her mind that she would never complain to Su Cheng again.

When she was with Su Cheng, they only talked about positive topics.

This is the best way for people like them to lick each other's wounds! Ye Li kept his head down and remained silent, concentrating on drinking the soup in the bowl.

But there was insight in her eyes.

Chen Suna is not the only one who knows this.

Ye Li also knew.

But both of them chose to remain silent. They each had their own way of treating Su Cheng.

……

……

Fourth day.

Group start day.

Everyone came to the company early and made coffee or tea before work started.

Ye Li, Qin Fen and Chen Suna gathered together, and it was unknown what they were plotting.

After seeing Su Cheng coming to the company, Ye Li immediately gave him a wink.

After receiving the order, Qin Fen quickly came to Su Cheng's side.

"Brother Cheng, good morning."

"morning."

"Hey, Brother Cheng, let me tell you, we found a house for Xiao Chen yesterday and he's already moved in."

Su Cheng's eyelids moved: "Huh? Found it so quickly?"

"We have to hurry up. It's only three days off, and Sister Li, Xiao Chen, and I have averaged over 30,000 steps a day. Our feet are sore."

"Where did you find Xiao Chen?"

Qin Fen turned around and signaled Ye Li and Chen Suna, and the two of them slowly walked over to join their conversation.

"Brother Cheng, good morning." Chen Suna greeted Su Cheng expectantly.

"Good morning, Xiao Chen." Su Cheng also responded enthusiastically.

This time, Su Cheng's enthusiasm was not fake, it was real.

When it was Ye Li's turn, he rolled his eyes at Su Cheng: "Hey, who is this? How come he's online after being invisible for three days?"

Su Cheng laughed a little embarrassedly when he heard Ye Li's sarcastic tone: "How can I be invisible, Sister Li Zi!"

"I haven't turned invisible yet. What have you been doing these past three days? The three of us are almost exhausted, and you didn't even come to move."

"Don't tell me you're working part-time as a delivery man again."

"That's not the case." Su Cheng explained awkwardly, "It's mainly because I was too tired the past two days, so I took a day off. I went back to my hometown to deal with some things for the remaining two days, and I just came back last night."

Su Cheng has now learned to lie, and he can tell white lies easily.

Qin Fen was shocked. He had no idea. "Brother Cheng, you're home?"

"correct."

"If you had told me earlier, I would have driven you to the station."

"Aren't you guys helping Xiao Chen find a house? I'm not doing anything, and I still have to ask you to help me. That would be so embarrassing." Su Cheng said, looking at Chen Suna, "I'm not deliberately not helping you find a house, Xiao Chen, I just have some things going on at home these past few days."

Chen Suna didn't care whether what Su Cheng said was true or false. She believed him 100%. "It's okay, Brother Cheng. Master and Brother Qin have helped me with it. Just go about your business."

"Yeah, I'll treat you guys to dinner later to make up for my absence, okay?"

Ye Li smiled contemptuously: "Why turn back? Let's do it today, at noon."

"Noon? Um..."

"What? You still want to hide?" Ye Li hugged his shoulders and raised his chin slightly, "No way!"

Su Cheng thought for a moment and said, "No, no, I mean that lunch is too short. How about tonight? I'll treat you to dinner. You can decide where to go."

"That's pretty much it!"

Qin Fen seemed to see hope of repairing the cracks.

Can the four of them sit together and eat together again?

Is this a sign that they are reconciling?

"You haven't told me yet, where are you looking for a house?"

Qin Fen told Su Cheng the location of their house, which was near YM.

Su Cheng immediately took out his cell phone and looked at the map.

"Pyeongchang Line?"

"Correct!"

"Ugh? Aren't you going to the west of the city?"

"Chengxi is too expensive, and the location is just so-so. We basically didn't look around much." Qin Fen said excitedly, "We decided to go to the Xishankou you mentioned and look around along the subway line."

"Pfft~" Su Cheng burst into laughter, "You still have to listen to me, right?"

Ye Li rolled his eyes at Qin Fen. Why was he telling him this? He would just laugh at him!
Qin Fen was so stupid that he didn't understand Ye Li's look.

Because Qin Fen was wondering whether he should suggest adding Chen Suna to their small group?
