I slept with the wrong person on my wedding night, and the boss spoiled me rotten!

It was him; she had seen him a long time ago.

When she opened her eyes, the face had changed to Gu Jingshen. Jiang Xuxu threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jingshen asked gently.

She didn't know either, but this wasn't the first time such a scene had happened.

His body trembled uncontrollably, as if he had grasped at a straw.

She had a seizure during her senior year of high school. Her parents took her to the hospital for a head CT scan, but nothing abnormal was found.

After graduation, she fainted while boiling water at home alone, falling heavily backward.

In the illusion, she fell from a great height, her body falling uncontrollably, surrounded by complete darkness.

I don't know how long I was unconscious before I woke up.

During her university years, she and Lin Tingran went out for hot pot. Midway through the meal, she felt dizzy, nauseous, and wanted to vomit. She fainted again on her way to the restroom.

Each time she faints, she enters a hallucination and has no recollection of the bizarre behavior in reality.

This is the fourth time.

A bad feeling began to rise in Jiang Xuxu's heart.

"What's wrong with you?"

At the doorway, Lin Tingran stared in astonishment at the two embracing.

Jiang Xuxu instantly relaxed and subconsciously wanted to explain, but Lin Tingran turned and left.

The door wasn't locked, but Jiang Xuxu still politely knocked twice before going in. Lin Tingran sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word.

"Tingran, what happened just now... wasn't what you think."

Lin Tingran took a deep breath and pretended to be generous: "Xuxu, I know you two are pretending to be a couple, but this is still my home..."

The meaning behind her words was self-evident.

Jiang Xuxu quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I just fainted, I don't know..."

She wanted to lie, but couldn't bring herself to say it.

Because she was certain that the person who came was Gu Jingshen, but somehow she became so dependent on him.

At that moment, all she wanted to do was hold the person in front of her tightly, not because she had fainted, but because she was afraid of losing him.

"Okay, I'm not blaming you." Lin Tingran patted her shoulder.

She knew Jiang Xuxu's situation; after fainting, she would experience hallucinations and wouldn't be able to distinguish who was in front of her.

But she still had to throw a tantrum, so that she could use Jiang Xuxu's guilt to keep her distance from Gu Jingshen.

Lin Tingran feigned concern and suggested, "This is your fourth time already. Are you sure you don't want to get another full-body checkup?"

The examination was useless; this situation is extremely sudden and accidental, and no results can be found at all.

But she still nodded: "Yes, I'll do it when we get back to Beicheng."

Lin Tingran turned around and hugged her, gently comforting her, "It'll be alright, you've always been very healthy."

At this moment, they were just like before, as if their friendship had never changed.

"Xuxu, tell me the truth, have you developed feelings for Gu Jingshen lately?"

Lin Tingran suddenly asked.

The smile in Jiang Xuxu's eyes gradually disappeared; she didn't know how to answer.

After thinking it over, she decided to be honest with Lin Tingran, "Actually, I—"

"Actually, I've liked Jing Shen for a long time," Lin Tingran interrupted her, bringing it up again.

Suddenly, she glanced at the doorway out of the corner of her eye and tentatively said, "If you like him, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Jiang Xuxu gave an awkward smile. "Me? How could I possibly like him?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingran leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "Let me tell you a secret, I've actually liked him for a long time!"

After saying that, she squinted her eyes and smiled brightly, looking just like a little girl in love.

Thinking of their rich and beautiful past, Jiang Xuxu felt a pang of sorrow.

"That's great. He and I were just an accident, and it was just to appease the elders. Besides, he's not my type."

As she said this, her eyes were filled with disappointment.

"So what kind of person do you like?" Lin Tingran asked, feigning ignorance, then teased, "Someone like Lu Chen, right?"

Jiang Xuxu kept her head down and didn't say anything.

"Silence means you're admitting it! You still can't let him go."

Jiang Xuxu's eyes became vacant as she recalled her past with Lu Chen, when she had once been full of joy and anticipation for the future.

But it all turned into bubbles.

Whether it's Lu Chen or Gu Jingshen, they would probably choose someone with Lin Tingran's family background.

And he himself was just an orphan who didn't even know who his parents were.

Taking the opportunity, Lin Tingran pressed further, "If Lu Chen asked you to get back together, would you agree?"

Jiang Xuxu noticed that she kept mentioning Lu Chen in every other sentence, and her expression became somewhat displeased. "Let's not talk about him anymore, okay?"

Seeing that the person outside wasn't there, Lin Tingran readjusted her tone and asked, "Then let's talk about Gu Jingshen. Can you tell me how you two met?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Xuxu's eyes.

Didn't Gu Jingshen tell her everything?

After thinking for a moment, she decided to tell the truth: "It was the time my family arranged my marriage. I met him at the guesthouse. Because I didn't want to accept an arranged marriage, I asked him to help me put on an act..."

As Lin Tingran listened, she nodded repeatedly, secretly delighted, and whispered, "So that's how it is! Brother Jing Shen really didn't lie to me!"

Jiang Xuxu won the bet, but Gu Jingshen didn't tell Lin Tingran the truth either.

A boy who lost his mother at a young age and lacked his father's company, let alone Gu Jingshen living in the Lin family for three years.

Even when she only visited occasionally, she dreamed of being a daughter of the Lin family.

How could Gu Jingshen not have any special feelings for Lin Tingran?

As for the road sinking...

Perhaps she really misunderstood.

If Lin Tingran really had something to do with Lu Chen, and she withdrew from the relationship, why didn't they end up together?

Moreover, Lu Chen has now been cleared of suspicion and returned to a normal life.

If they really had something going on, how could Lin Tingran let go of a man she'd slept with for seven years before her?

The two talked for a long time, and then, just like before, they snuggled together and fell asleep.

To be honest, Jiang Xuxu envied Lin Tingran, envying her for having a complete and happy family and loving parents.

Now, she is somewhat glad that she didn't break off relations with Lin Tingran due to a momentary impulse or misunderstanding.

They seemed to have returned to their former state.

As for Gu Jingshen, their meeting was purely by chance, a result of unforeseen circumstances.

She did have feelings for him, but not enough to give up her long-standing sisterhood for him.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to finalize the divorce with Gu Jingshen as soon as possible.

If they really have feelings for each other, I can't betray my best friend!

In the room, Gu Jingshen was staring blankly at the wedding photos in the album.

Jiang Xuxu's words were still echoing in my ears...

"How could I possibly be interested in him... He's not my type..."

Looking back on the whole process of how he met Jiang Xuxu, except for the first time, it seemed that he was the one who took the initiative to approach her.

Jiang Xuxu never expressed any concern.

She was just trying to appease her family; who this person was didn't matter.

He silently deleted the only photo of the two of them together, put down his phone, and went to sleep.

The next day, Lin Tingran took Jiang Xuxu and Gu Jingshen back to their alma mater.

The familiar trio was distracted all day, with Jiang Xuxu and Gu Jingshen equally absent-minded.

The two tacitly kept their distance, seemingly not familiar with each other.

"By the way, Xuxu, the class monitor said there's a class reunion the day after tomorrow. Did you receive a text message invitation?"

During the conversation, Lin Tingran playfully linked arms with Gu Jingshen and walked between them.

Jiang Xuxu glanced down at her phone and gave an awkward smile: "No."

"That's outrageous!" Lin Tingran suddenly stomped her foot. "How could they do this? They invited everyone else to the class reunion, but not you?"

That's so hurtful.

Jiang Xuxu felt a little embarrassed. "It's okay, I'm not familiar with them anyway."

"No, I'm going to call and question the class monitor!" Lin Tingran said, taking out her phone and making a call.

Jiang Xuxu subconsciously reached out to pull her sleeve, but instead grabbed a pair of warm, large hands.
