Chapter 2229 - 2232: Sheng Sheng’s Turmoil 5

Raised the fallen cabinet again.

The cabinet was too heavy, and she was not strong enough. As she was lifting it halfway, the cabinet fell heavily again, crushing her foot and causing her eyes to well up with tears. Maimai sat down on the ground, wailing, and pushed the cabinet with all her strength, calling Sheng Sheng’s name as she pushed, "It hurts, it hurts, Sheng Sheng, Sheng Sheng, where are you?"

...

Another clap of thunder sounded, "Maimai!"

Sheng Sheng suddenly cried out in shock, unable to open his eyes. He wiped his face, which was covered in water.

Everything around him was dark; where is this place?

He seemed to hear Maimai calling him. Sheng Sheng regained clarity, crawled up, staggered a bit, but inside he was bitterly smiling: How could she be calling me? Surely I’m dreaming; she must loathe me now. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of her, throwing a tantrum and breaking things, with Maimai’s temper, she probably wants nothing more to do with me!

Sheng Sheng stumbled around in the torrential rain. He didn’t have the courage to go home, nor did he have the keys, and there was no car in the complex, so he could only return to the garage under the apartment to take shelter from the rain.

He pulled out his phone and tried again; the phone screen was not only broken but also soaked, and now it was completely unusable.

Instinctively, he reached into his pocket to grab a cigarette, but there was nothing in the pocket.

Suddenly, he remembered there was a spare key in the basement garage he usually hid here, just in case he lost his keys one day and couldn’t open the garage. Sheng Sheng found the key, opened the garage, and hid inside, but that was all. The spare key was only one, and there was no car key.

Actually, the apartment was just upstairs; as long as he goes up, he could solve the problem of having nowhere to go.

But he simply didn’t want to go up.

Surprised to find Maimai’s car was also there, she hadn’t left? Was she still at home?

Sheng Sheng laughed self-deprecatingly: How could it be possible? How could she not leave?

Maybe she directly called her agent to pick her up?

Or maybe she hadn’t left at all... A sliver of hope lingered in Sheng Sheng’s heart, warming it a bit. But if that were the case, he had even less courage to go back home and face her!

Clearly, he was the one who was angry first, but right now, he felt ashamed and guilty beyond measure!

He lacked the courage to face the girl he loved who had witnessed his angry outburst! Her eyes were filled with fear and resentment; such eyes still echoed in his mind. Sheng Sheng shook his head and sat on the ground, leaning against the car, feeling his whole body burning, his head too, alternating between hot and cold, and then fell asleep again.

...

Maimai had no one to rely on and struggled to pull her leg from under the cabinet, limping back to the sofa. She was in pain; her leg hurt terribly; it was red and swollen...

Holding her phone, she hesitated for a long time before dialing his number, but no one answered. Maimai felt more aggrieved and dialed again, still no answer.

He must be really mad, unwilling to answer her call.

What’s wrong!

What’s really wrong!

Wuwu...

Vigorously wiping away the endless tears rolling down her cheeks, she found the first-aid kit to apply medicine for contusions, cried for half an hour while resting, then cautiously went back to setting the cabinet upright, being particularly careful to avoid being crushed again!

An hour passed again as Maimai tidied up the entire living room once more.

She squatted on the ground, holding a dry towel, soaking up the water on the floor little by little.
