Su Ling's Time Travel

Qi Rong was taken aback by his words. She turned to Cheng Chen and asked, "What do you mean? She's not a simple girl? Does she have some secret?"

Cheng Chen gently shook his head and said, "There's no secret. It's just that I feel she's stronger and braver than she appears on the surface. And there's a unique quality about her that attracts me."

Upon hearing this, Qi Rong pursed her lips and said, "Cheng Chen, don't joke around! She has a unique charm? Attracting you? I don't see it!"

Cheng Chen wasn't angry when he heard this. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Qi Rong, don't be so quick to dismiss her. Sometimes what we see isn't necessarily the truth. Just like how I kept my identity hidden before."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "To tell you the truth, I am not from an ordinary family, but the heir to the Cang Group."

Qi Rong was shocked upon hearing this. She stared at Cheng Chen with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe her ears. She murmured, "The Cang Group? You're the heir to the Cang Group? This... how is this possible?"

Cheng Chen smiled gently and said, "That's right, I am the heir to the Cang Group. I have never told anyone about this identity, including you. Because I don't want this identity to affect our friendship."

Qi Rong was silent for a moment after hearing this, then she looked at Cheng Chen and said, "Cheng Chen, why did you tell me this secret? Aren't you afraid that I will distance myself from you because of this secret?"

Cheng Chen gently shook his head and said, "Qi Rong, I believe you won't distance yourself from me because of this secret. Besides, I think Su Ling isn't a simple girl; she has a strength and courage that we don't have. I think we should try to understand her better instead of easily dismissing her."

Upon hearing this, Qi Rong fell into deep thought. Looking at Su Ling and Qi Ming, she felt a mix of emotions. She began to re-examine her views and attitudes towards Su Ling and also began to consider whether Cheng Chen's words made sense.

Meanwhile, Su Ling and Qi Ming's conversation was becoming increasingly engaging. They chatted about their hobbies, everyday life, and their hopes and expectations for the future. Su Ling discovered that Qi Ming was not only handsome and sunny on the outside, but also warm and kind on the inside. She began to develop feelings for this sunny and handsome young man and even felt an urge to get to know him better.

Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, Qi Xuan walked over, sat down next to Su Ling, and looked at Qi Ming, saying, "Qi Ming, you better not steal Su Ling away! She's the darling of our class!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming laughed and patted Qi Xuan on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry! I won't kidnap her! I just find her interesting and want to get to know her better!"

As he spoke, he turned to Su Ling and said with a smile, "Su Ling, what do you think? Would you like me to get to know you better?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ling's heart stirred. Looking at Qi Ming's sunny and kind smile, she nodded and said, "Okay! I'd also like to get to know you better!"

Sunlight filtered through sparse clouds, dappling the bustling street and casting a golden cloak over the vibrant city. Su Ling, along with Qi Ming, Qi Xuan, and Qi Rong, strolled along this lively street, enjoying their leisure time on the weekend.

Qi Ming walked beside Su Ling, wearing a simple white T-shirt and casual pants. His sunny and handsome appearance complemented the surrounding scenery perfectly. He glanced at Su Ling from time to time, his eyes filled with tenderness and care.

"Su Ling, what do you think of this?" Qi Ming pointed to an exquisite necklace in a jewelry store window and asked Su Ling for her opinion with a smile.

Su Ling followed his finger and saw that the necklace shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight; it was indeed very attractive. She nodded gently and said, "It's beautiful, I like it very much."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming immediately went into the jewelry store, bought the necklace, and personally put it on Su Ling. His movements were gentle and practiced, as if he had done this for Su Ling many times before.

Feeling Qi Ming's warmth and care, Su Ling felt a surge of inexplicable emotion. She looked at Qi Xuan and Qi Rong and found them looking at her with strange eyes. Especially Qi Rong, whose eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions: jealousy, doubt, and a hint of unease.

Su Ling smiled inwardly. She deliberately spoke more intimately with Qi Ming in front of Qi Xuan and Qi Rong, laughing out loud from time to time, as if to show them the tacit understanding and affection between herself and Qi Ming.

As Qi Rong watched the interaction between Su Ling and Qi Ming, her unease grew stronger. She gripped the shopping bag tightly in her hands, her nails almost digging into her flesh. She couldn't understand why Su Ling had suddenly become so popular, and she couldn't understand why Qi Ming had developed such a strong interest in Su Ling.

After shopping, Su Ling said goodbye to Qi Ming and the others and returned home alone. However, the atmosphere at home was not as warm as she had expected.
