Wen He went to the kitchen to cook porridge. As soon as he left, Chen Biyu peeked out through the crack in the door. When she saw him walk away, she went back to Su Xian's bedside and asked, "Have you really thought it through?"
Huang Kaifeng took his daughter away from Su Xian's arms. It would be a mistake to think that he was kind-hearted and didn't want to disturb Su Xian's rest. He was just worried that little Yunshu's disturbance would prevent him from listening to gossip. The little girl was also a talkative person. She hugged a stuffed toy beside Su Xian's pillow and crawled to the end of the bed to play by herself.
Wen He has been taking care of Su Xian at home for these days. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wen He's feelings for Su Xian are not false. He takes care of Su Xian attentively and asks about his well-being every day. Any weak woman at this time would find it difficult not to be moved by him.
What's more, Wen He's conditions are not bad.
Su Xian was moved because of kindness, but he was still a long way from being moved.
"I now realize that you are quite pretentious sometimes. Let alone the matchmaker tying a red string for you, even if it is a piece of stainless steel, you can break it."
Chen Biyu's tone of disappointment made Lu Xiran disagree: "I think Instructor Wen is a good person."
Chen Biyu rolled her eyes: "I'm not blind, of course I know she's a good person, but two people are together because they like each other. Do you think my sister and your instructor Wen like each other now?"
Lu Xiran was silent. Chen Biyu was outspoken, but sometimes her brain was more active than anyone else.
"Don't you think it's unfair to him?" Chen Biyu pointed in the direction of the door and analyzed the pros and cons so clearly. "You want to forget another person by getting along with him, but have you ever thought about it? If you still can't forget that person in the end, then wouldn't that hurt him? Just because he likes you, does that mean he should be used as a gun by you?"
These words were like a wake-up call to Su Xian, making her head buzz.
"Isn't what you said a bit harsh?" Lu Xiran still disagreed, but her tone of opposition was a little unconfident. She just felt that the words were a bit harsh, but it seemed to make sense: "That's also possible, Xianxian and Instructor Wen have developed feelings for each other."
"That's right." As a man of blood, he not only did not avoid suspicion in the conversation between girls, but was more enthusiastic than anyone else, and expressed his own views at the right time: "Relationships can be cultivated. I think this boy is really good and can be considered as a development partner. Besides, let's talk about it first. If it doesn't work out, we can break up. There's nothing to feel sorry for. After all, it's a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer. The boy is smart. I don't believe he doesn't know that you still have someone else in your heart."
"That being said, I always feel that our Instructor Wen is a bit pitiful." Chen Biyu sighed.
"When did you become so sentimental?" Lu Xiran was quite curious.
Chen Biyu touched her bulging belly and said, "Maybe I'm going to be a mother, so my heart has become softer."
Lu Xiran shuddered: "Soft. I don't think this word is appropriate for you."
Chen Biyu was about to hit him, but Lu Xiran hid next to Su Xian, but kept saying, "Look, you're still talking about being gentle. I think it's hard to change your nature."
"Hey, Lu Xiran." Chen Biyu raised her voice: "It's different now that you have someone backing you up. You dare to talk back."
Lu Xiran was unhappy when she heard this: "I have no one to back me up, so don't talk nonsense."
Chen Biyu raised her eyebrows at her: "Same character, a dead duck talking stubbornly."
At this point in the topic, Su Xian simply did not accept Chen Biyu's stubborn words, because Lu Xiran really had no feelings for Ren Shang. In the past, she respected Ren Shang because of his status as a senior brother, and of course she was also afraid of him, but now, she probably only hated Ren Shang. As for where this hatred came from, it could only be attributed to the accumulation of Ren Shang's past "bad deeds".
One was chasing and the other was hiding. Fortunately, Ren Shang was called back to the palace by his father a few days ago. Lu Xiran suddenly felt that the whole world was peaceful. He burned incense and prayed that Ren Shang would never return to North City.
When footsteps were heard, everyone shut up immediately, except Xiao Yunshu who was humming something. Everyone's eyes were cast on the person who came, and their eyes were wide open.
The man stood at the door and glanced at the people in the room. They were obviously a group of people he knew, but his eyes seemed so strange.
They all thought that it was Wen He who came, who could have imagined that Zuo Yueyao would appear here like a paratrooper.
"Handsome doctor uncle!"
Probably only Xiao Yunshu would happily shout out this without paying attention to other people's expressions. The others all had their own thoughts, but they all agreed that it was time to make room for the two of them.
However, Su Xian held Chen Biyu and Lu Xiran back and didn't want them to leave. It was not that she didn't want to be alone, but she didn't dare. She vaguely felt that Zuo Yueyao's arrival was not a good thing. Seeing the haggardness on his face, she was moved, but she could only harden her heart and pretend she didn't see it.
Perhaps, it is no longer her turn to care about whether he is good or bad.
Before she could speak, Zuo Yueyao took the initiative and said, "Since we all know each other, there is no need to avoid suspicion. I am here for only two things."
His words made everyone feel that nothing good would happen next. They were afraid of missing out on important information. Although they pretended not to look at Zuo Yueyao, their ears were pricked up.
"First." Zuo Yueyao spread out his palm, in which lay a familiar key. It was the key that he had blatantly taken from Su Xian before. "I'm here to return the key. Since this thing doesn't belong to me, there's no point in me keeping it. It should belong to its rightful owner."
Su Xian's hands slowly clenched into fists. No one's aura could be like the man in front of her. Everyone dared not even breathe, and even the originally cheerful little Yunshu restrained her expression. She raised her little head with an innocent look. But the man turned a blind eye to such innocence. His indifference made Su Xian feel a strong impact in her heart. There was a voice in her mind that kept telling her that she was going to lose Zuo Yueyao completely.
The psychological comfort she felt before because of everyone's arrival was not enough to make up for her inner confusion and helplessness at this moment. Su Xian carefully restrained her inner feelings, fearing that she would not be able to control herself and shout out.
"Second." Zuo Yueyao put the key on the bedside table and stepped back a few steps. The distance between them was so far that it was suffocating. It was as if she was an existence that he could not avoid. His eyes were fixed on her face, but he did not feel any heartache because of her weakness. "I came to tell you that I will leave here to study in the next two days and will not be back for a long time. You can continue your life without worry. I will not disturb you again." Then, he added heavily: "Not in this life."
"Zuo Yueyao" Chen Biyu called out weakly, but she didn't know what to say next.
Su Xianzhi listened to his words with a calm expression as if he hadn't heard anything. But as a close friend of hers, how could he not know that she must be feeling bad at this moment? But who can interfere in the relationship between two people? The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.
"Well, let's go out and have a good chat. No matter where you go, you will come back sooner or later." Huang Kaifeng wanted to ease the atmosphere. Between Zuo Yueyao and Wen He, his little scale still leaned towards the former.
"No, there's nothing to talk about. Sorry to bother you." The last look before turning around seemed to express countless resentments. At least, that was how Su Xian understood it.
Zuo Yueyao left, leaving cleanly and decisively. Su Xian heard the door slam shut, her eyes sore, and in a blink, two lines of hot tears flowed down. Huang Kaifeng saw this and quickly picked up the tissue box and stuffed it into her arms: "My God, you are so sad. I never saw you cry no matter how hard you went through those days. What's wrong with you today? Why bother? If you have him in your heart, just go and stay!"
Xiao Yunshu threw herself into Su Xian's arms: "Aunt Su, why are you crying? Don't cry. If the handsome doctor uncle bullies you, he is not a good uncle. Let's ignore him in the future."
She wanted to care, but would she still have the chance
Zuo Yueyao said these words in front of everyone without any hesitation, with such indifference and ruthlessness, which showed that he was determined to part ways with him! He was a person who did not make decisions easily. Once he made a decision, who could change it
Is he going to study? Where? Who is he going with? Is it He Xinwan? What did they do together that night? Have they decided to be together? These questions went through Su Xian's mind over and over again, but no one could give her a definite answer.
Should this be called self-inflicted suffering, or a matter of time? Thinking back then, she had also resolutely said those words of breaking up with Zuo Yueyao without leaving any trace of love. His mood at that time should not have been much better than hers.
Immersed in her own world, she didn't know when Lu Xiran ran out. When she came back, her face was flushed. She weakly called out "Xianxian", and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I said you were not feeling well these two days. Why did he come to tell you all this?"
"What did he say?" Chen Biyu asked eagerly, as if she still had some hope.
"He said that everything will come to an end sooner or later, so it's better to end it sooner rather than later, so as to avoid causing trouble."
"Then what?"
"Then I said Xianxian has him in her heart."
"What did he say?" This time it was Huang Kaifeng who asked.
"He said." Lu Xiran was really worried that saying this would make Su Xian feel even more uncomfortable, "He said that you should leave your place in his heart to other people, he doesn't need it anymore."
Lu Xiran ran out, originally wanting to say some soft words to Zuo Yueyao to give the matter a chance to buffer. After all, one was the good senior brother she once admired the most, and the other was her best sister. But she didn't dare to say much, for fear of making more mistakes. She only picked out some nice words, hoping that Zuo Yueyao would take back what she had just said.
She didn't believe that he really had no feelings for Su Xian anymore.
Although Zuo Yueyao's attitude towards her was not as cold as when they were in the room, it did not mean that he had changed his mind. He did not agree to anything, nor did he change his words. He just told her lightly: That boy is sincere to you, you might as well calm down and think about it carefully. If you really don't want to be with him, just do as she did and find a good man to fall in love with.
