Chapter 198 He Wants to Say He Loves Su Li

Xu Mingzhe saw someone and trotted over.

"Hey, it really is you two."

As he said this, he dropped his luggage bag and hugged Fu Jinzhou directly.

"If I can't wait for anyone, I'm going to look for a hotel."

"release."

Someone's cold voice was tinged with joy.

"Brother Xu, why are you here so suddenly?"

Kang Ping picked up the bag on the ground and said with a smile: "We came back unexpectedly, it was really a coincidence, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see Brother Fu when you came."

"It seems like fate."

Xu Mingzhe let go of Fu Jinzhou and pulled him around, "Why are you even thinner?"

"How can I not be thin? I haven't eaten yet. I have three meals a day, and I have to squeeze in time to eat two."

Kang Ping felt helpless when talking about this.

"Kangping, go buy some food."

After Fu Jinzhou gave the instructions, he took Xu Mingzhe to the dormitory.

"Why are you here so suddenly?"

"Well, guess?"

Xu Mingzhe looked at him meaningfully.

"What's there to guess? Come if you want to, and leave if you want to."

Fu Jinzhou's voice was light and a little tired.

"Tsk, so heartless. I'm leaving tomorrow to play with Su Li and Li Mo."

Fu Jinzhou paused, "She's here too?"

Xu Mingzhe looked at Fu Jinzhou with inquiry and a hint of understanding in his eyes.

"She came this time to discuss publishing."

He paused, his tone firm.

"This Su Li is quite impressive. Li Mo said the editor-in-chief is very satisfied with her book. She came here to discuss some minor details. We will be preparing for publication soon."

Fu Jinzhou's brows knitted together slightly, and he slowly raised his feet.

Su Li is still the bright Su Li, the Su Li who always brings him surprises, and she will not be easily defeated.

"Well, she...will probably stay here for a while."

Xu Mingzhe added, his eyes sweeping across Fu Jinzhou's face intentionally or unintentionally, as if trying to see something from his expression.

Fu Jinzhou was silent for a moment, without saying anything, but his eyelashes drooped, making it impossible to see the emotion in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Mingzhe felt helpless. He knew the pressure Fu Jinzhou was under, and even more so the pain in his heart.

He patted Fu Jinzhou's shoulder and his tone became a little serious.

"Jinzhou, what are you thinking?"

His voice was low and questioning.

"You and Su Li...are you done with this?"

Fu Jinzhou still didn't answer, but slowly raised his head and looked into the distance, with a hint of confusion and struggle in his eyes.

"Are you really ready to accept your family's arrangement?"

Xu Mingzhe pressed on step by step. He knew that Fu Jinzhou was suffering and he also knew that he could not let go of Su Li.

However, the pressure of reality and the expectations of his family weighed on him like mountains, making it hard for him to breathe.

"I... must establish my career first, then I can think of other things."

Fu Jinzhou finally spoke, his voice was so hoarse, as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper.

He almost said it out loud, but Xu Mingzhe kept his mouth shut and didn't want to put any psychological burden on Su Li.

At this time, Kangping came back.

He was carrying several lunch boxes and a bottle of wine.

"Brother Fu, Brother Xu, it's time to eat."

Kang Ping's voice broke the solemn atmosphere between the two.

He placed the lunch boxes on the table and opened them one by one.

Braised pork, pickled cabbage, scrambled eggs, and a plate of peanuts.

Xu Mingzhe had originally eaten with Li Mo and Su Li, but when he heard that Fu Jinzhou had not eaten, he stopped talking.

"Hey, that's quite a feast."

Kang Ping opened the bottle of wine again and poured a bowl for Fu Jinzhou and Xu Mingzhe respectively.

"Brother Fu, it's been a while since I've had dinner with Brother Xu. Let's have a drink today and relax. You've been working non-stop for the past half month."

There was a hint of heartache in Kang Ping's tone.

He knew how difficult Fu Jinzhou's life had been recently.

Kang Ping didn't say anything else and glanced at Xu Mingzhe secretly.

Xu Mingzhe obviously also saw Kang Ping's gaze. He could see that Fu Jinzhou looked haggard and tired as soon as he came in.

You can imagine the pressure of suddenly giving up medicine, which you love, and plunging into an industry that is completely unfamiliar to you.

What's more, he is suffering!

Xu Mingzhe picked up the bowl and said with a smile, "Xiaokang is really good at handling things. He knew I wanted to drink, so he just handed me the bowl."

Kang Ping smiled and said, "There are no wine glasses here, don't mind, Brother Xu."

Xu Mingzhe looked at Fu Jinzhou and raised his hand, "Come, let's have a drink."

He knew that at this moment, any words of comfort would be unnecessary. It would be better to drink some wine with him and let him have a good sleep.

Fu Jinzhou did not refuse, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

The spicy liquid flowed down his throat like a ball of fire, burning his chest.

He put down the wine bowl, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

It seems like he wants to spit out all his worries and sorrows.

Xu Mingzhe and Kang Ping didn't say anything, but just silently accompanied him to eat and drink.

Fu Jinzhou's face gradually turned red and his eyes became blurred.

He looked at Xu Mingzhe and suddenly smiled.

"Mingzhe, do you know? I..."

He wanted to say that he loved Su Li.

However, when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

The two-year agreement with his grandfather had just begun, and this was the most difficult time for him. He didn't want to make Su Li worry.

She should have a broader world. For example, now she has begun to plan for her future.

She will be fine.

If he succeeded, he would embrace Su Li in his arms at all costs.

What if I don’t do it?

So I can’t say anything now!

"I know, you don't have to say anything."

Xu Mingzhe interrupted him, with a hint of helplessness and sigh in his tone.

He raised his wine bowl and clinked it with Fu Jinzhou's.

"Come, have a drink."

They both drank it all again.

Kang Ping looked at them with mixed feelings.

He knew that Fu Jinzhou's heart must be even more bitter than this wine.

As the night deepened, the dormitory was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

Fu Jinzhou finally passed out drunk, lay on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Mingzhe and Kang Ping helped him to the bed and covered him with a quilt.

Looking at Fu Jinzhou's furrowed brow, Xu Mingzhe sighed.

"Isn't it a problem for him to be so tense all the time?"

Kang Ping pressed his solar plexus and said, "Of course I know, but he doesn't say anything and just works his ass off."

"There must be something here that we don't know about. He's holding back a lot of energy."

"Brother Xu, since Sister Su is here too, let's let him meet Sister Su. Maybe..."

Xu Mingzhe was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "If there really is something else going on, he knows his limits, and it wouldn't be good for us to get involved. Stay by his side and take good care of him, especially encourage him to eat on time."

Kang Ping scratched his head in embarrassment. This task was even more difficult than asking him to run ten kilometers with a load.

The next morning, Fu Jinzhou saw that Xu Mingzhe was still sleeping, so he went out without calling him.

I finally found Professor Wang, and I have to meet him today no matter what.

However, Fu Jinzhou still came up empty-handed.

"Sorry young man, Lao Wang went to the literature club early in the morning."
