CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

"You shouldn't waste your time on me. I will be alright even if I don't study. Also, what will I get from studying? It is not like my pocket money will be stopped from the next month."

Mo Roulan sighed again heavily after she heard Shen Youlin's words.

She actually can't blame Shen Youlin for thinking like this.

She treasured the opportunity of being able to study because in her past life she couldn't do so. The orphanage she lived in never had that much money to send her to school.

She only attended a small school in her town for two years and then she had to leave the school at the age of fourteen.

She liked to study because she had thought one day when she would get a small job and could earn money by herself then she would go and meet her younger brother.

However, at that time she had never thought that both of her wishes would never meet their ends.

She couldn't study because of the lack of money. Even if she tried to do so from some old books which were donated to the orphanage, other children would snatch the books from her and tear them into pieces.

She and Mo Chen were a new addition to the fifteen orphans who lived in that orphanage.

The other children didn't like them from the start because now they would have to share some portion of food with them. When any adult would not be there to look after the children, they would try to snatch her and Mo Chen's food.

She would fight with them. After getting many kicks, slaps, pushing, and pulling she would only be able to snatch only a small portion of food for Mo Chen. 

The three-time meal became another problem in Mo Roulan's life. She couldn't see Mo Chen being starved like that.

So when she saw the first opportunity to send him away from that hell, she chose it.

Still, she tried to find Mo Chen but she had never imagined that her second wish also would never get completed.

Mo Roulan took deep breaths to calm down her emotions. Her hands were trembling, she could feel it. It was a normal thing.

Whenever she remembers those moments, she would be dragged into a dark hole where even breathing seemed to be very difficult. 

She tried to divert her mind by looking around the room and reading a few sentences from the book in her hands.

When she felt a little alright, she finally looked at Shen Youlin who seemed to be lost again but this time Mo Roulan felt that Shen Youlin looked sad. Very sad.

"Youlin…"

Contrary to how loudly she had called Shen Youlin previously, this time she called her very softly.

Shen Youlin was startled and blinked her eyes quite a few times to come to the present.

"Were you saying anything?"

She whispered smiling sheepishly at Mo Roulan and Mo Roulan was in turn startled by the quick change in her emotions.

Just a moment ago, she was so sad and now she looked so cheerful.

"Yes, I was saying that you don't have any motivation to study in your heart."

Shen Youlin blinked her eyes and pouted as she propped her chin after placing her elbows on the study table.

Mo Roulan frowned as she stared at nothing.

Now, what could be the solution to this new problem?

"Ah…"

A few moments later, Shen Youlin suddenly shouted making Mo Roulan almost jump from the chair and fall down on the floor.

Mo Roulan looked at Shen Youlin with wide eyes as she patted her chest to calm down her beating heart.

"Youlin…"

"Sorry."

Shen Youlin smiled sheepishly and whispered.

"I just got an idea."

"Oh and what is it?"

Mo Roulan asked with raised eyebrows.

Shen Youlin straightened her back and pointed her finger at Mo Roulan while saying

"Why don't you become my motivation?"

Mo Roulan was confused and pointed her own finger at herself imitating Shen Youlin and asked

"Me? How can I become your motivation, my dear?"

The last two words made Shen Youlin smile. Something undecipherable flickered in her eyes as she leaned closer to Mo Roulan and said

"If I got good marks in the coming tests then will you give me anything I want?"

Shen Youlin's heart was beating very fast as she said those words but Mo Roulan still looked confused.

"What can I possible give you?"

"That's something for me to think about. You just have to agree."

Shen Youlin smiled wickedly and said

Hearing this, Mo Roulan just shrugged her shoulders and said

"Alright, then…I guess."

But Shen Youlin clutched her hand suddenly and leaned closer.

"Roulan… anything I want?"

Mo Roulan stared at Shen Youlin's face for a moment and said firmly

"Anything …except drugs."

She noticed Shen Youlin's hand becoming still but her eyes were filled with determination.

She wanted Shen Youlin to put her mind to the study so that she will not get any time to think about that poison.

But if Shen Youlin demanded the same thing she wants her to stay away from then her efforts would be wasted.

Contrary to Mo Roulan's thoughts, Shen Youlin smiled bitterly and whispered

"I never thought about them."

Since she has promised Mo Roulan to leave the drugs, she would work hard to complete her promise. 

Mo Roulan felt awkward and guilty when she saw Shen Youlin's bitter smile.

"Ah…I am sorry. I just …"

"It's alright."

Shen Youlin smiled cheerfully interrupting Mo Roulan's apology and picked up the book from the table.

"Now I will study on my own and will ask you if I faced any difficulty."

Because she can't guarantee that she would really be able to study if Mo Roulan taught her so it would be best if she tried to do it herself.

Mo Roulan watched her for a few moments and when she was sure that Shen Youlin could really study herself she started to do her own work.

------

The room was dimly lit. It was about to be midnight very soon.

Lying on the bed, Tian Yuan who was sleeping peacefully a few moments ago suddenly opened his eyes.

He turned his head a little and glanced at the watch.

Then he looked at the person lying beside him who was hugging his body tightly.

Liu Ji Fan's head was buried in his neck and he could feel his warm breaths falling on his skin. His one hand was under his head working as a pillow and other was placed on his stomach.

"B****d"

Tian Yuan whispered as he saw Liu Ji fan's hand inside his shirt.

He carefully held Liu Ji Fan's hand to move it away from his stomach all the while looking down at his face.

"Ha…"

Tian Yuan sighed in relief when he successfully put Liu Ji Fan's hand aside without waking him up.

It seems that he was in a very deep sleep.

Still, Tian Yuan moved Liu Ji Fan's head away from his neck very carefully. Finally, free from the iron-like hold, he took deep breaths to inhale fresh air freely.

"Wifey…

His breath almost hitched in his throat when he heard the quiet voice inside the room.

With the heart beating wildly inside his chest, he slowly moved his eyes to look at Liu Ji Fan's face.

"Yuan baby…"

Liu Ji Fan murmured in a husky voice with eyes closed.

'Oh, he seemed to be talking in his dream.'

Tian Yuan sighed but his eyes again went wide with shock when his gaze moved down and he saw the large tent on Liu Ji Fab's lower body.

His whole face went red and Tian Yuan looked away in embarrassment.

'Just what kind of dreams was this man having, that too, with him present in them?'

He almost wanted to wake Liu Ji Fan up and beat the sh*t out of him. However, he controlled his anger and got down from the bed silently not forgetting to curse Liu Ji Fan inside his heart.

The door was fortunately unlocked.

He smiled brightly and went out of the room without glancing even once back at the bed.

He already knew the password to unlock the door. Aunt Yun had told him.

Tian Yuna happily walked towards the front door and typed the password. He waited and waited but the door didn't open.

With a frown and puckered lips, he typed the password again but it didn't open.

He tried two or three times but the door never opened.

'What happened?'

Did he perhaps forget the password or did Aunt Yun told him the wrong password mistakenly? Or…

….Maybe Liu Ji Fan changed the password intentionally.

'Should he try some other password? Liu Ji Fan's birth date, or anything else…'

As he pondered over this, he suddenly heard a cold voice from his behind

"What happened, baby? Do you need some help?"

And Tian Yuan felt the floor slipping away underneath his feet.
