Chapter 117 - 114: Drunkenness on Birthday (3rd Update)
November 7th, Monday. Today is Li Si’s birthday.
After returning, Leng Mochen had some business to attend to in Hong Kong. Since morning, she had been checking her phone frequently. But there wasn’t a single text or call from him. She couldn’t quite describe how she felt—just that she was a bit down.
Li Si couldn’t stand the solitude of the empty villa being just herself, so she decided to return to school for classes.
Director Wang wanted to make her bone marrow donation a model example to encourage others to learn from her, but she politely declined. The matter had become a thorn in her heart—not because she regretted donating, but because of her complex feelings toward Tian Yaruo.
Bai Shasha and Jiang Fan planned to take Li Si out of school to celebrate her birthday. She gladly agreed, and the destination was their regular spot—Old Friend Little Kitchen!
"Si! Did it hurt when you donated bone marrow? Were you scared at the time?" Bai Shasha asked with a mix of concern and curiosity. After learning about it from her mother, Mrs. Bai even complimented Li Si, saying she was an idealistic, brave, and kind-hearted young lady, and advised Shasha to maintain a good relationship with her.
She shook her head and smiled. "It didn’t hurt. Nowadays, donating bone marrow doesn’t involve surgery; it’s about donating hematopoietic stem cells. So, it’s just like giving blood, only it takes longer."
Jiang Fan noticed something different about Li Si’s demeanor. He couldn’t pinpoint what it was, but there was an undeniable change. Her gaze seemed somewhat cooler than before.
"Li Si, why do I feel like you’ve changed somehow? I can’t quite say how though," Jiang Fan noted.
Bai Shasha nodded in agreement. "Yeah! I felt the same way just now! Oh, it’s your eyes—they unintentionally look sharp now! It’s making me afraid to look directly at you!"
