Ch.279 Nothing More than Strangers (1)

Su He flew back home after completing her studies overseas, but with a wounded body.

She had a boyfriend, who spent four years fighting alongside her, two days before her flight back home, she found out that her boyfriend had cheated on her, and it turned out to be with her best friend for many years.

On that day, Su He went out but she forgot to bring her phone along with her, because of an urgent issue, she used a public telephone to give her boyfriend a call, but the one who answered was a woman.

That voice sounded way too familiar to her.

“Hello? Who is it?”

“Hello?”

Her best friend repeated twice in the call, Su He grasped the phone on her hand and gradually tightened her grip. She calmed herself down, and held back the tears that were starting to swell in her eyes.

“Hello, Yuan Cheng is showering now, please call back again if you need something.”

While Su He listened to the call, she could clearly hear some rustling noise coming from the background, she suddenly raised her head and smiled.

Since when did her boyfriend need her best friend to help pick up his calls?

Shower, why did he need to shower?

Su He grabbed a taxi and rushed off to Qian Yuancheng’s hospital, the nurse on duty at the front desk told her: “Doctor Qian is off-duty today.”

Su He smiled again, last night, he was the one who said he needed to work overtime and couldn’t accompany her to buy some gifts for her parents.

After Su He returned to her apartment, she gave Qian Yuancheng a call, this time he was the one who answered.

Su He asked calmly: “Where are you?”

“I’m at the hospital, what’s wrong, babe.”

“Oh, really?” Su He laughed, “Am I at the wrong hospital, I’m at the entrance of your hospital, and the nurse just told me that you aren’t on-duty today. Why don’t I just come to your office now?”

“Oh don’t, I just went out to grab a bite. Just wait for a while, Su He, I’m almost there, I’m just a few minutes away.”

“Oh, okay! Then I’ll wait for you.”

After Su He hung up the call, she called her best friend.

“I’m flying back in two days time, aren’t you planning to meet up with me?”

“Of course we have to meet up, when are you free? I’m good with any place.”

“Oh, is that so? I will bring Qian Yuancheng along. Let’s meet up tomorrow morning, you can come and find me then.”

“Okay, sure.”

Su He sneered after hanging up on the call.

While packing her luggage, Qian Yuancheng called her a few times.

Su He didn’t feel like picking up as she watched her phone vibrate.

The next morning, Qian Yuancheng, who was still half awake, was startled when she opened the door. He got up from the floor and quickly asked: “Su He, what happened to you yesterday night? I was so worried about you, I kept calling but no one picked up!”

“What will happen to me?” Su He asked while she dragged her luggage out.

Qian Yuancheng held onto her hand, “What are you doing?”

“Can’t you tell?”

“SU HE!”

He wasn’t done talking but another voice came from the other direction.

“Su He……“

Su He followed the voice and glanced at her best friend for nearly ten years, and sneered: “You’re early, it seems like we can just skip the disgusting breakfast session later.”

“Su He…… What happened to you……”
