64 Unrequited love is a one-sided turmoil (1 / 2)

For some reason, when Zhang Zhiyin said, “Your first love was chased away by me, aren’t you going to pursue her?” although she was smiling, Fang Zhou inexplicably felt a chill.

Experience told him he should pursue, at least to prevent Qiao Sisi from getting angry.

When a female star gets angry, she might cause a scene, and he would be the one to deal with the fallout.

But intuition told him not to pursue; Zhang Zhiyin’s gaze was icy, almost as if saying ‘dare to follow and I’ll end you’.

Fang Zhou gave a sheepish smile, deciding to first appease the woman before him.

“It’s fine, she’s always like this, she’ll get over it soon.”

His tone was light, carrying an ease he himself hadn’t noticed.

Zhang Zhiyin’s eyes, just reddened, now filled with a sense of grievance.

“Of all the girlfriends you’ve had, she’s the one you can’t forget, isn’t she?”

Zhang Zhiyin’s voice was a bit hoarse, a result of the recent tears.

Her gaze fell, and her mind involuntarily drifted back six years.

Back then, she, Fang Zhou, and Li Siming had all been admitted to decent schools, but the three weren’t in the same city, separated by a neighboring city’s distance — not far, yet not close.

Their meetings became less frequent, unlike in high school, where they saw each other every day.

That’s why Zhang Zhiyin cherished every opportunity to meet Fang Zhou.

At the end of that winter year, after enduring a month of exams, Fang Zhou invited her and Li Siming out for a meal.

Zhang Zhiyin was overjoyed, spending two hours dressing up and another hour on the urban rail and bus, finally arriving at the place Fang Zhou had arranged.

He was as handsome as ever, speaking in the familiar way she knew.

But later, halfway through the meal, the words he spoke wiped the smile off her face.

Fang Zhou lifted his phone, showing off the photo of a beautiful girl, excitedly announcing to them,

“I declare, guys, I’m off the bachelor team. This is my girlfriend, Qiao Sisi.”

“How about that? Pretty, right! Hahaha.”

At that moment, Fang Zhou was a picture of pride and happiness, love pouring from his eyes, filling the room.

The usually carefree boy was suddenly surrounded by pink bubbles, turning into someone Zhang Zhiyin didn’t recognize.

His proudly displayed affection, when it touched Zhang Zhiyin, became arrows piercing her heart.

She heard the sound of her own heart breaking and felt the lethality of the word ‘crush’ for the first time.

It manifested before her, as if she had fallen into an icy abyss.

Zhang Zhiyin couldn’t suppress her sorrow, her throat felt choked, unable to utter words of blessing.

A crush is one’s personal chaos.

The sadness and grief of that moment overwhelmed her, tears flowing uncontrollably.

Nearly three years of secret affection were confessed then and there.

“You’re in a relationship? What about me? Can’t you feel my affection for you?”

At that time, Zhang Zhiyin wanted an answer, more so, she wanted closure for herself.

Regrettably, the answer she received was, “I’m sorry, Zhiyin, I didn’t know.”

That day’s gathering ended with her slamming the door on her way out.

In the years that followed, Zhang Zhiyin never saw Fang Zhou again.

Until that recent incident, which made her decide to return to the country, she had to see Fang Zhou with her own eyes.

“Your question is a bit difficult for me to answer, may I choose not to answer it?”

Fangzhou’s voice pulled Zhang Zhiyin back from her memories to reality.

She looked up at Fangzhou; the young man’s appearance was no different from before, and so was his nature.

As long as one didn’t cross his bottom line, Fangzhou could be as pliable as cotton, letting people handle him at will.

Of course, this was limited to his family and friends.

In other words, he was infinitely tolerant and indulgent towards those he cared about.

Perhaps he hadn’t noticed himself, but such tolerance could be addictive.

“Heh, as you wish.”

Zhang Zhiyin gathered her emotions, crushed the vulnerability she had just felt, and put back on her hedgehog shell.

From noble mtl dot come

“You have the energy to receive visits from fans; I guess your illness is almost cured.”

Fangzhou scratched his head; actually, after resting for a day, he felt almost fine, but the doctor disagreed.

“Probably need to observe for another two days.”

A shadow flickered in Zhang Zhiyin’s eyes as she stood up and said word by word, “You’re not so weak that you need to lie down for a few more days to avoid me, are you?”

Fangzhou was stunned for a moment, catching the implication in her words, and quickly said, “I’m not avoiding you.”

“I’ll ask the doctor tonight, and if I can be discharged tomorrow, I will.”

What was Zhang Zhiyin thinking?

She couldn’t believe that when she said to observe for two more days, it was to avoid her, could she?

On my honor, Fangzhou was no longer the boy who couldn’t handle interpersonal relationships or ease the conflict between friends and girlfriends.

And after so many years, Zhang Zhiyin surely wouldn’t like him anymore.

Even she herself had just said, she was no longer angry.

After all, they were high school comrades who had struggled together. Seeing her and Li Siming, Fangzhou felt as if he saw his own youthful days, beautiful and sincere.

If they could still be friends, that would be more than great.

“Fine, as you wish, I’m leaving.”

Zhang Zhiyin waved her hand, not wanting to stay any longer, and left the ward in a few strides.

Fangzhou had wanted to catch up with her, but the chance never came.

However, since she was the new guest on the show, there would be plenty of opportunities to interact in the future.

As soon as Zhang Zhiyin left, Fangzhou’s gaze swept over to the fruit tea on the table, his once-favorite grape ZhiZhi.

Somewhat surprised, Qiao Sisi actually remembered his taste.

He quickly took out his phone to contact her.

Fangzhou sent a WeChat message.

“Are you angry?”

About three minutes later, Jo Si Si replied.

“Hmph, go hang out with your friends, what’s it to me?”

Fang Zhou sent a puzzled expression and then said straight out: “Well, thank you for coming to see me, but I can’t drink that fruit tea, can I give it to the nurse instead?”

Jo Si Si said: “You dare to give it to the nurse and you’ll be a goner!”

Fang Zhou replied: “Then what should I do? It’s a waste of food, or should I give it to the cleaning lady instead?”

After sending this message, Jo Si Si didn’t respond, and Fang Zhou didn’t look at his phone again.

About ten minutes later, Jo Si Si reappeared in his hospital room, her anger overflowing, her originally soft hair somewhat disheveled, as if she had rushed there.

“What did you do with my milk tea?”

She was about to kill Fang Zhou!

A female star in a rage was like a cat about to explode, her cheeks red and puffy, looking at the frightening sight.

Fang Zhou had expected her to come back, pointing to the fruit tea on the table and saying: “I didn’t give it to anyone, it’s still here.”

Jo Si Si followed his hand and looked, and indeed the grapes were still there.

She got even angrier, her eyes filled not only with anger but also with a hint of disappointment.

“You lied to me!”
