42 Han Xi was also your ex-girlfriend? (1 / 2)
Just a few short words from Chu Xinran were enough to make Fang Zhou break out in a cold sweat.
But this was not the time to retreat or show fear, lest she intensify her own suffering.
Fang Zhou could only continue to dress her wounds, then probe her attitude.
“Xinran, the world is splendid and grand; there’s nothing we can’t get past.”
“After you graduate and leave school, you’ll find many more outstanding men. I’m just one of the less noticeable ones, not worth doing something foolish over.”
The man’s voice was gentle and soft, as if handling a precious treasure, instantly transporting Chu Xinran back to the past.
Back then, he treated her the same way, with tenderness and care, never complaining about anything except for having little money and a penchant for playing games, almost without any other flaws.
Perfect, like an AI.
But later, when Fang Zhou initiated the breakup and refused to answer her calls, Chu Xinran realized he was no AI at all.
His heart was made of stone, cold and hard.
When Fang Zhou valued you, liked you, you would be lifted to the heavens.
But once he gave up, you would immediately taste the fall from the clouds into the mire.
Fang Zhou rambled on, finishing dressing Chu Xinran’s wounds, and when he looked up again, he found her staring blankly at him, her gaze vacant, clearly lost in thought, not listening to a word he said.
“Xinran!”
Fang Zhou raised his voice, snapping her back to reality.
Perhaps due to blood loss, the girl’s face was somewhat pale, her lips not as rosy.
She gave Fang Zhou a faint smile, saying nothing, yet as if everything was said.
How could anyone bear to blame a blooming pure white jasmine for its impending wither?
Suddenly, Fang Zhou felt a twinge of pity.
He turned his head away, no longer looking into Chu Xinran’s eyes, but instead to the other side, admonishing himself: Don’t worry about it too much, getting entangled with a yandere is no good.
Making a timely exit is the best strategy.
You still have a sister to take care of, Fang Zhou.
Thinking of his sister who needed chemotherapy at the hospital every week, Fang Zhou suddenly found himself again.
He stood up, continued to tidy up the table, leaving only one sentence for Chu Xinran.
“Don’t think that by doing this, I’ll soften.”
“We’ve been broken up for two years now, your safety is no concern of mine. Dressing your wounds, helping you switch fish powder for lean meat powder, these are just the basic decencies of being human.”
“If my actions have given you the wrong impression, I apologize.”
“I won’t make any more inappropriate moves.”
Silence spread through the air. Chu Xinran sat in the darkness, silent, while Fang Zhou could feel her burning, focused gaze on him.
If circumstances allowed, Fang Zhou even thought Chu Xinran could watch him like this all night.
After making things clear, Fang Zhou’s work was nearly done. He picked up the trash bag and urged,
“Let’s go back.”
He said, standing still, waiting for Chu Xinran to get up and return.
No matter what, even if he didn’t want to get entangled with a ‘yandere’, he still had to maintain basic gentlemanly decorum.
Leaving a female guest alone by the sea, he could be drowned in spit by tomorrow.
Chu Xinran slowly stood up and finally walked towards the villa without saying a word.
If Fang Zhou had turned to look at her expression, he would have found that her smile was uglier than crying.
Back at the villa, Fang Zhou disposed of the trash in the designated spot and turned back to see Chu Xinran had gone upstairs.
42 “Han Xi is also your ex-girlfriend?” (2/2)
Ultimately unable to resist his conscience, Fang Zhou gently knocked on Qin Yun’s door.
Soon, a woman with brown curly hair opened the door, looking at him with interest, her eyes hooking his soul, making it flutter.
This feeling of being watched by a hunter was truly unnerving, and he would never initiate contact with Qin Yun unless absolutely necessary.
“Something the matter?”
Qin Yun leaned against the door frame, her gaze lingering on Fang Zhou’s face, her lips curled in a faint smile, seemingly surprised that Fang Zhou would knock on her door.
“Yeah, Chu Xinran’s hand got cut by rocks after falling into the water today. I just saw blood soaking through the bandage, could you please help her change it?”
Fang Zhou braced himself and finished speaking, waiting for Qin Yun’s response.
There was no choice; Chu Xinran’s injury was too conspicuous. If they called the show’s on-site doctor, it would be obvious it was self-harm.
Rumors would spread and harm Chu Xinran’s reputation.
Qin Yun was different, though. Even as a surgeon, she might notice something, but she was never interested in others’ affairs. Her biggest trait was her tight-lipped nature.
Some secrets of wealthy families, which she occasionally knew as a part-time family doctor, were never disclosed by her.
So Fang Zhou had to turn to her.
“Oh? Why don’t you go yourself?”
Qin Yun’s smile remained, but upon closer inspection, it was less evident, and she seemed displeased.
Fang Zhou’s heart skipped a beat, immediately realizing Qin Yun was unhappy because of his excessive concern for Chu Xinran.
He quickly explained, “It’s late at night, and it’s not proper for a man to enter a girl’s room.”
“Besides, she’s my junior from the same cohort. It’s a small favor; if I can help, I will.”
“If you’re not willing, I’ll go find the show’s doctor.”
With that, Fang Zhou turned to leave.
I knew this wicked woman was tough to deal with. If all else fails, I’ll call Han Xi tomorrow.
Han Xi, cold-faced but warm-hearted, would surely not refuse.
“Wait, I didn’t say I wouldn’t go.”
Fang Zhou turned back to see the woman’s smile widening.
It was his pleasure to think of her first when in need.
“But in exchange, you have to answer a question for me.”
Qin Yun smiled joyfully, but her eyes hid a glacial chill.
Fang Zhou could roughly guess what she was about to ask, and he was prepared to let her know.
“Ask away.”
Qin Yun stood up straight, her gaze piercing as she asked Fang Zhou, “Is Han Xi also your ex-girlfriend?”
Indeed, that was the question.
The moment Fang Zhou thought about being kissed by Han Xi, he knew from Qin Yun’s look that trouble was brewing.
Perhaps the others were just momentarily angry, but Qin Yun, that fox, would definitely suspect something.
From noble mtl dot come
He had thought she might guess that he knew Han Xi, but she went straight for the jugular.
What to do? In front of a yandere ex-girlfriend, admit that another female guest was also his ex?
Would Han Xi be torn apart by Qin Yun?
No, that’s not right. Han Xi is wealthy, with bodyguards; she fears nothing.
But would he be torn apart by Qin Yun?
