Ke Chengzhou looked at the girl opposite him and crossed his fingers awkwardly.

"Yoyo..."

Xu Youyi looked at the pair of earrings with great joy, and seeing that he seemed to want to say something but hesitated, she didn't understand what he meant.

"What?"

Ke Chengzhou clenched and unclenched his fingers.

"I'm sorry about what happened that day."

He shouldn't have let something like that happen so casually, and it took him so long to come here, so no matter what the reason, he should express his apology.

"What happened that day..."

No matter how slow her reaction was or how thick her nerves were, she understood what he meant.

This scene reminded Xu Youyi of what she had just seen in the bathroom.

The smile on Xu Youyi's face slowly faded. So, he came to see her, gave her flowers and gifts, not because he cared about her or liked her, but because he thought about what he did to her after drinking?

In an instant, it was like a basin of cold water was poured down on me.

After more than a month of consideration, he finally plucked up the courage to take responsibility for what he had done!

Ke Chengzhou looked at her face and said, "I'm sorry, I..."

"So, you intend to take responsibility for what you have done?"

"That's not what I meant. Coming here this time..." he explained hurriedly.

"Mr. Ke, we are all adults now, you don't have to be so old-fashioned!" She interrupted with a smile.

“…”

Ke Chengzhou choked, what?

Xu Youyi's eyes were sore that she had to pinch her legs tightly under the table to control her urge to cry.

I told you not to overthink things and be so self-indulgent, but you're making a fool of yourself again!

She bit her lips hard to control the soreness in her eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" She chuckled. "You're not so old-fashioned as to think you have to take responsibility just because you sleep with someone, are you?"

“…”

Her indifferent look shocked Ke Chengzhou.

"Don't mention that everything happened that night. Even if we did sleep together...it was just a game between grown men and women. You don't have to take it so seriously."

Nothing posted?

As a doctor, it was ridiculous to doubt whether something had happened, but the repeated dreams and the marks on the bed sheets, coupled with her sudden departure without saying goodbye, really made him feel uneasy.

Ke Chengzhou looked at her, "Yoyo, that's not what I meant..."

"But that's what I meant." She sat up straight, looked at the earrings on the table, picked them up, fiddled with them for a moment, and then pushed them back. "I don't need something like this. Doctor Ke, you should take it back!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked away.

"Yoyo." Ke Chengzhou caught up with her in two steps, not knowing what he had said wrong.

He just wanted to explain what happened that day, at least he should say something, instead of letting it pass by in a muddle.

"Mr. Ke, you can't afford to play, right?!" Xu Youyi looked at him with a smile, even with a hint of sarcasm.

play?

Before Ke Chengzhou could come to his senses, he was thrown away.

"Ke Chengzhou, you are so boring."

After saying that, she turned and ran out.

"Yoyo." He started to chase after her, but was stopped by the waiter to pay the bill. When he went out again, the person was gone.

…

Xu Youyi ran out of the restaurant without knowing the direction.

Because he was absent-minded, he bumped into someone when he was walking out and his nose started bleeding.

"ah--"

She let out a low cry and blood flowed from between her fingers.

Ever since she was bumped into by the drunk Ke Chengzhou last time, her nose has been injured and it would bleed if it was hit with a little more force.

In the bathroom, she was dealing with a nosebleed while she was crying, and the person who bumped into her was so scared that he thought it was serious and kept apologizing.

"Miss, are you okay? Why don't you go to the hospital?"

Xu Youyi shook her head with red eyes, "It's okay, you go first!"

The man looked at the time and said, "Then I'm really late!" He quickly took out a pen and a tissue and wrote down his phone number.

"If anything happens, call me."

Xu Youyi nodded. After the man left, she wiped the blood off her fingers with a tissue and threw it into the trash can. Then she looked at her red eyes in the mirror and turned to leave.

Coco called at this moment.

"Sister, why did you leave in such a hurry last night?" The voice on the other end of the phone was still hoarse and sleepy with a hangover.

"Thank you~" Xu Youyi mumbled, "If I were in danger, this long would have been enough for you to go to the police station to identify the body."

She sniffed.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, what nonsense are you talking about!" The friend on the other end of the phone was dissatisfied, but he also quickly discovered the problem, "What's wrong with you? Are you crying?"

"No."

"Your nose is so stuffy, and you still say it's okay?" Coco jumped up from the bed. "Wait, I'll come find you."

Before Xu Youyi could refuse, the phone was hung up.

When Xu Youyi was sitting in the dessert shop poking at the cake, Coco rushed over. Looking at the egg rolls in front of her that had been "chopped into pieces", she grinned in pain.

"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?" She sat down. "You were so happy yesterday."

She called early in the morning just to tease the little girl and see how she spent the night, but she didn't expect to hear her crying.

Could it be that her "cousin" who is a doctor is here?

Apart from him, she couldn't think of anyone else Yoyo could trust so much.

"It's okay." Xu Youyi poked the small cake in front of her.

"Hey, stop, stop, you are wasting food like this. The cake is innocent." Coco rescued the cake on the table that was about to turn into mud from the clutches of her friend.

Xu Youyi's face was gloomy, and she looked like she was about to cry but not cry, which was really heartbreaking.

"Nothing is worth being unhappy about. If there is, let's go have a big meal." Coco pulled her arm, "Hey, let me introduce a handsome boy to you."

"Don't make trouble." She refused.

"Oh, that's right. With your big star here, no one can really compare to him in terms of looks." Coco laughed. "But it's always nice to meet new friends. The forest is so big, why just focus on one thousand-year-old tree?"

"Old tree?"

Although Ke Chengzhou is no good, it’s a bit too much to say that!

"How about 囈?" Coco asked back, "We haven't even thought he's too old yet, but he's already shaking it off! 嶈, I have to introduce you to some young men today."

"Hey~" Xu Youyi had no time to resist and was dragged away.

…

Ke Chengzhou searched for Xu Youyi for a long time but couldn't find her. However, he received a call from a colleague who worked abroad.

After not seeing each other for many years, his colleague insisted on asking him out for a drink.

Unable to refuse, he sent a message to Xu Youyi and then went to the appointment.

The people who were invited to meet together included old colleagues and classmates, and because of their connections, they unknowingly filled the room.

Ke Chengzhou was feeling restless and couldn't sit still, so he left the room on the pretext of going to the restroom.

He walked around outside and was about to make an excuse to his colleagues that he had something to do before leaving when he saw a familiar figure on the dance floor.

That was none other than Xu Youyi, who was dancing closely with someone else...
