Chapter 115: Work Hard for Success

Shen You felt very familiar with the potholes on the pebble path when she walked into the park.

Compared to the pebble path in other parks, the pebble path here gave people a strong sense of presence.

Shen You walked on the pebble path heading towards the center of the park step by step.

There was a small central lake there.

Calling it a lake might be a bit of an exaggeration. It was just a small puddle of water.

In her previous life, Shen You once accidentally fell into the water here.

At that time, she didn’t know how to swim at all and almost thought that she was going to drown.

In the end, when she was struggling, she suddenly touched a big rock at the side.

She desperately grabbed the rock and finally stood up. Only then did she realize that the water was only up to her thigh.

That time, Shen You sighed at how lucky she was, and also at how strong her desire to live was.

She once swore that she would never go to the water’s edge again until she learned how to swim!

Shen You stood by the water’s edge and thought, “Last time, did I really lose my footing and fall into the water?”

The system’s voice sounded in her mind, “You’ve finally begun to reflect on these things!”

Shen You sat on a huge rock by the water’s edge and looked at the calm surface of the water in front of her. “I had never thought that someone would want to harm me.”

“I thought that everything would be better once I returned to the Shen family.” Shen You smiled bitterly.

“What do you plan to do?” The system asked Shen You about her thoughts.

Shen You sighed and her gaze did not move. “My initial thought was to live well.”

“But now it seems that I need to work harder if I want to live!” Shen You’s voice sounded a little tired.

“Don’t you have Huo Xiao…” the system couldn’t help but remind her.

Shen You shook her head. “He will eventually belong to someone else!”

“Why don’t you let him become yours?” The system asked again, not agreeing with Shen You.

“There are some things that I can’t change just because I want to.” Shen You sounded depressed.

“This isn’t like you!” The system sounded a little dissatisfied.

“No! This is the previous me!” Shen You muttered again.

“I used to think that everything I wanted was something I shouldn’t have!” Shen You sighed.

“Then…” the system seemed to hear the hidden meaning in Shen You’s words.

Shen You suddenly stood up, her eyes shining, “But it’s different now! I want to live well, living out my life!”

“I will fight for everything that should belong to me! I will not give up any chance!” Shen You’s expression looked determined and full of energy.

“The reason why I came here today is that this place once bore too much of my resentment!” Shen You looked at the calm in front of her.

“I want to throw all this away! I want to work hard for myself!” Shen You said calmly.

“As expected of the person I chose!” The system finally sighed in satisfaction.

Shen You chuckled and said, “But the scenery here is really good. It’s a pity that no one came!”

The system’s voice sounded a little bewitching, “This place is secretive enough. It’s suitable for you to do some shady business!”

Shen You could not stand it and rolled her eyes, “What shady business do I have!”

“You can do it in the future!” The system chuckled.

Shen You thought for a moment. “Maybe!”

Walking away from the water’s edge, Shen You walked towards the entrance of the small park.

The park was very small, with only one entrance and exit.

As there were only a few people taking care of it, many weeds were growing on the lawn.

Shen You walked past the lawn, looked around, and then continued to walk out.

When she returned to the coffee shop, there were not many people in the shop. The university students who were working were organizing the books on the shelves.

Xie Chen was sitting behind the bar counter and flipping through the books on coffee making.

Shen You walked in and leaned against the bar counter. “Sister Chen, should we expand our business?”

Xie Chen looked at Shen You in surprise. “Xiao You, why are you back?”

Xie Chen subconsciously looked at her watch. Shen You indeed came back early.

Shen You smiled awkwardly. “I’m feeling a little uncomfortable, so I came back first.”

“If you’re not feeling well, then go back and rest!” Xie Chen quickly said.

“It’s alright! I’ve already recovered on the way back!” Shen You patted her chest and guaranteed.

Xie Chen looked at Shen You suspiciously. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Shen You lowered her head awkwardly and said, “I.. I have some thoughts that I want to discuss with sister Chen urgently.”

Xie Chen looked at Shen You and smiled. “Your this little brain, I really don’t know what you’re thinking about every day!”

“I’m thinking about making money!” Shen You said seriously.
