CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Standing at the door, Mo Roulan saw Shen Youlin sitting on her study table. In her lap was placed the book she had asked her to read.

Seeing how concentrated she was, it really looked like she has been studying for a very long. However, Mo Roulan that it was not the truth. Her eyes had already caught the black bag placed on the bed. It was the same bag that she had seen in Shen Youlin's car in the morning.

Just as she was looking at the bag, from the corner of her eyes she saw Shen Youlin raising her head so she took back her gaze not wanting to raise any suspicion.

"Roulan."

Shen Youlin smiled brightly seeing Mo Roulan.

Standing up from the chair, she left the book on the table and ran towards her as if she was meeting her after a very long time.

If Mo Roulan had not known everything then she would really haven't found any fault in Shen Youlin's act.

Since she looked so sober, it was obvious that Shen Youlin didn't take any drugs, or, perhaps there were not any drugs in that bag.

Mo Roulan hoped that it was true and she was just overthinking. Because being not able to separate from drugs so much that Shen Youlin put them in her school bag would only show how desperate Shen Youlin was for drugs.

"Have you read everything I asked you to?"

She asked Shen Youlin.

Avoiding her eyes, Shen Youlin answered

"It is still left…only a few pages."

Mo Roulan stared at her face for a few moments and then nodded her head.

"Come outside and sit with others. It's not good to sit alone in a room for so much time."

Shen Youlin nodded her head immediately and holding Mo Roulan's arms she went to the living room where Mo Roulan's mother and little brother were already sitting.

As soon as Lin Qianru saw Shen Youlin she remembered how the girl was looking last night so she reprimanded her.

"Youlin, there is not anything wrong with partying late sometimes, however, you should also be able to take care of yourself. Fortunately, Mo Roulan brought you home last night."

The question that Shen Youlin had pressed down in her mind rose again and it was answered now. She looked at Mo Roulan warily.

Mo Roulan brought her from the bar then did she also know anything else?

Mo Roulan was pouring water in a glass for herself to avoid Shen Youlin's questioning eyes. Very calmly she said the lie she had prepared.

"Mom is right. Fortunately, the security guard of the bar you went to called me and hence I went there. But what if it was someone else other than the security guard who might have bad intentions then what would you have done, Youlin?"

After saying this, she drank the water from the glass and noticed Shen Youlin breathing a sigh of relief.

"Oh…That…That's really my fault. I'll be careful next time."

Shen Youlin fumbled with her words. When Aunt Lin told her that Mo Roulan brought her back from the bar, she was very nervous. She could felt the sweat forming inside her palm.

Youlin couldn't imagine what would happen if one day Mo Roulan came to know about her secrets.

Would she also leave her?

Her fists clenched suddenly and she felt very irritated.

"Youlin…"

"Huh?"

Her trance was broken and she saw a glass of water in front of herself.

"What happened? Why are you sweating so much?"

Lin Qianru noticed the sweat on her forehead and asked. It was weird because it was not that hot today.

"Here have some water." Mo Roulan forwarded the glass of water in front of Shen Youlin and Shen Youlin took it from her with a tight smile while trying hard to control the shaking of her hands.

"Thanks." She mumbled in a small voice and Mo Roulan just nodded her head.

After that, Lin Qianru made Shen Youlin sit beside her and talked to her for a long time. She told Shen Youlin that it was not good that she was not careful and what could have happened because of her carelessness.

In her heart, she was dissatisfied with Shen Youlin's family. So she took it as her responsibility that she should make the young girl understand the cruel world.

Looking at her busy mother and Shen Youlin, Mo Roulan found the opportunity.

 Unnoticed from Shen Youlin's eyes, she went back to her room. After closing the door she walked to her bed and found Shen Youlin's bag.

She quickly opened it and checked every pocket but she didn't find anything. It was only when Mo Roulan checked the last pocket her hands touched something soft.

Her fingers inside the bag trembled for a moment and then she took them out from the bag.

There were drugs in her hand.

The magical powder that packed in soft and small packets.

Even though it was within her expectation, she still felt a little stifled. Unknown whether it was because of her past or whether she was too much worried about Shen Youlin.

Gulping inaudibly, Mo Roulan checked that bag again and again and when she had taken every packet of drugs out she closed the bag.

After that, she found a paper and wrapped all the packets in that paper. After that, she put the paper in a large packet.

Then she finally threw the packet in a dustbin at the same time releasing a large sigh.

----------

She shuffled through her bag restlessly.

Where was it? She needed it. Desperately.

She has not taken it even once today.

With every passing minute, her breathing was becoming heavy and she almost felt like tearing her bag.

"Youlin…"

Her action stopped suddenly and her body went stiff.

"What are you doing?"

Mo Roulan asked her with sleepy eyes when she saw Shen Youlin standing in front of the study table. Her sleep was not that deep. Maybe it was because she knew that Shen Youlin was sleeping by her side so when she heard the small sound of shuffling she immediately opened her eyes.

It was only when Shen Youlin turned to look at her she noticed the bag behind her. So she was indeed looking for the drugs.

"Nothing, I was just checking where I have put my college Identity card or not inside my bag otherwise I'll not get entry into the college tomorrow."

"Oh…"

Mo Roulan very cooperatively pretended to believe her lie and even asked

"So, have you found it?"

"No, it might be in my car. I'll just look for it in the morning."

"Oh…come now, let's sleep."

Shen Youlin nodded stiffly and walked towards the bed not before turning to look at her bag once more.

As she lied on the bed, she suddenly looked at Mo Roulan who didn't notice her gaze.

Moments passed but she couldn't sleep. Turning from one side then to the other, her irritation only increased.

"What happened? Can't sleep?"

Hearing Mo Roulan's question, Shen Youlin mumbled a small 'no' but the next moment she froze when Mo Roulan suddenly hugged her and whispered from above her head.

"Do you want to hear a story?"

The familiar sweet scent entered her nose making her restless heartbeat suddenly calm down. She unconsciously hummed and nodded her head wanting to hear the soft voice again.

So Mo Roulan started. Her eyes stared at the wall as she opened her mouth and said

"Once there was a young girl. A very lively and bright girl. She was very naughty. One day, she found a game. The game of lying.

In the game, she would lie to others when someone asked her anything and would laugh at them when they would find out the truth themselves. She enjoyed watching others when they made fool of themselves. Since she was young others would just say a few words and then would leave her thinking that she was just a child.

Slowly, she got addicted to the game. She got addicted to lying. She couldn't stop herself from lying no matter what kind of situation there was. But now she no longer enjoyed it. Do you know why?"

Shen Youlin was also staring at the wall in a trance. Her face didn't have any expression as she asked

"Why?"

"Because her parents were starting to dislike her because of her bad habits. They would scold her whenever she lied and sometimes even hit her but she couldn't stop herself. Her friends also started to hate her. Slowly she became lonely. No one used to play with her and her parents loved her siblings more."

"Frustrated, the girl ran away from her home. She walked and walked until it was dark. The night fell. She reached inside a park and found a beggar there. She was hungry and the beggar was eating an apple. Seeing him looking at himself, the beggar told her that there was a tree on the other side of the garden and she can go and pick some apples from there.

The girl was very happy. She ran to the other side of the garden but didn't find any trees. She searched all over the garden but there was not an apple tree. Holding her empty stomach, she went back to the beggar to ask him where the tree was. But when she reached there, she found the beggar laughing hard while looking at her. The residue of his apple was lying behind the swing on the ground.

The girl understood that the beggar fooled her. She felt angry, furious, and irritated. But the next moment she suddenly saw herself in that beggar and at her place those people whom she had fooled.

The girl didn't say anything to the beggar and ran back to her house. She found her mother crying and her father looking all over the neighborhood for her. She apologized to them and promised that she would never lie again."

Finishing the story, Mo Roulan looked down at Shen Youlin and saw her closed eyes. She could also hear her slow and even breathing.

She has thrown the bait away. Now she just has to diver Youlin's mind away from it.

With a small smile, Mo Roulan closed her eyes and fell asleep.
