Don't tell me what's true or false, ask for forgiveness, don't tell me what's right or wrong, ask me

Xue Jiuyue smiled lightly, "Well, it's true that the hangover medicine you paid for is used, but it also contains the same ingredients as Maroamphenicol. To put it bluntly, it's the same medicine with different ingredients in different proportions, resulting in different focuses."

"Yes, I have a friend who knows about medicinal properties. The nutritional supplements I bought for you were also recommended by her." Gu Quyu admitted generously before asking, "You didn't tell Mr. Qian?"

Xue Jiuyue shook her head.

"Thank you! Why?"

"You love me so wholeheartedly, and it won't cause any more harm to my friend, so why should I expose you?" Xue Jiuyue paused for a moment before adding, "You're very smart!"

"Thank you, you too."

"No, in love, this is not a compliment!"

"Oh?" Gu Quyu's big eyes were full of doubts.

"You should know that Mr. Qian has feelings for you, but he's always afraid of you!"

Gu Quyu nodded in acknowledgment.

Xue Jiuyue continued, "I guess the real reason is that Mr. Qian is also a smart man. He can sense your intelligence, so he can't help but treat you as a rival. It's difficult to be honest with a rival, and this is precisely the natural enemy of love. Not only you, but your cousin is like this too!"

Gu Quyu lowered his head in thought for a moment, then nodded slowly. "You're right. No wonder they say great wisdom appears foolish. A truly wise person should appear foolish, whether intentionally or naturally. If I ever have a daughter, I'll definitely tell her to never let the people she cares about think she's smart!"

"I didn't think about you that much. I have no experience, so I'm just guessing..."

"You have no experience?" Gu Quyu smiled mysteriously, "Doctor Liu doesn't count?"

Xue Jiuyue was so heartbroken that the smile on her face froze. "He's gone."

"Gone?"

"Well, he was afraid of becoming a burden to me, so he hid from me. I couldn't find him, so I lost him." Xue Jiuyue couldn't help but speak out with her heart full of thoughts. "It's very likely that I am looking at the world through his eyes now, but I can't see him."

"If he's deliberately avoiding you, it's really hard to find him." Gu Quyu also expressed regret, "But it's not impossible to find him. After all, it's not very convenient for him. If he's not going back to his hometown, he should be going to a place where he knows people."

"You mean he left with Li Jingzi?" Xue Jiuyue suddenly realized.

Gu Quyu smiled and nodded.

A little hope rose in her heart, but it was quickly suppressed by an emotion. Only then did Xue Jiuyue realize that Gu Quyu knew a lot, "How did you...?"

"You should know that I know Director Gao of Xinru." Gu Quyu looked gloomy.

Xue Jiuyue nodded. She had heard Liu Che say this before.

"He's my brother!"

"Your brother?"

"Yes, my half-brother. My mother and I, my stepfather and him, we formed a family together. I didn't like him because in that marriage, my mother loved him humbly, being nice to my stepfather and my brother in a fawning way, to the point that the whole family ignored me. I was just superfluous. But I'm also very grateful to him, because he was the only one who made me feel like family! Now that he's gone, I'm truly alone and lonely."

"I'm sorry, please accept my condolences."

"It's okay. It might not be a relief for him. He lives a very tiring life. He's been strong and determined since childhood, wanting to stand out, wanting to squeeze every ounce of his potential. Later, when he went to university and started working in this industry, he took on a lot of darkness and emotions that didn't belong to him, and suffered from severe depression. I always wanted to help him, but I was powerless."

"Then may I ask..." Xue Jiuyue hesitated for a moment, but still asked bravely, "Is he Zhang Ru?"

"Zhang Ru..." There was no emotion in Gu Quyu's words.

Xue Jiuyue explained: "You know, I was hurt, and the person who hurt me was Zhang Ru."

"I'm sorry, I learned about your situation through my brother before... As for your question, my brother is gone. Does it still matter now?"

"If not, the murderer is still at large."

"Tracking the murderer is the police's job. You can report it before, now, and in the future. If there is evidence and clues, the police will bring the murderer to justice. For you, it's just a knot in your heart. Hasn't it been untied yet?"

Xue Jiuyue was speechless, but she could understand the feeling of respecting the deceased and honoring the respected, so she could only nod.

Gu Quyu continued sadly, "Some people spend their entire lives trying to undo some mistakes, without even having the chance to be forgiven. Do you know the origin of the name of the Xinru Mental Health Counseling Center?"

"Xinru?" Xue Jiuyue shook her head blankly.

"Xinru is the character for forgiveness. My brother said that the core of healing psychological problems is forgiveness. Forgive others, forgive yourself, and use your consciousness to forgive your subconscious mind."

"If, I say if..." Xue Jiuyue looked at Gu Quyu intently, "If your brother is Zhang Ru, I forgive him. If he is not, I respect him!"

"Thanks!"

After Gu Quyu left, Xue Jiuyue didn't call Li Jingzi right away. How should she face Liu Che? Could he forgive her? He left with Li Jingzi, who had been the one to help him leave the hospital. Will they ever be together again?

Endless distress and boundless regret burned my heart without stopping, and drove all the moisture in my body to my eyes, like continuous spring rain.

"Sister Yue, what's wrong? Are your eyes still not healed?"

Tu Xinyue's clear voice is brighter than the sunset.

"No, my eyes have recovered well."

"So you're crying because you're sad?"

Now that Liu Che has disappeared and "Spit Star" has disappeared, isn't Tu Xinyue the most suitable person to confide in?

Xue Jiuyue confessed to Tu Xinyue: "There was an accident. Last night, Keke and I..."

After hearing Xue Jiuyue's words, combined with her expression of wanting to crawl into the ground, Tu Xinyue's first reaction was: "Ah? Sister Yue, are you completely healed?"

"Yeah, it was fine before the car accident!"

"Wow! That's great. You're so beautiful. It would be a waste of your talent if you were just treated as a vase! How was it last night? Hehe, brother is so handsome. Didn't you feel great?!" Tu Xinyue's tone of voice made her drool.

"Xinyue!" Xue Jiuyue said angrily, "Can you be a little more serious? I feel so uncomfortable here!"

"What? Ahem, brother isn't gentle? That's right, you have no experience, so you need to be gentler to appreciate the beauty of it."

"Xinyue, I don't like coughing, how can I..."

"Oh my God! What era is this, Sister Yue? You don't have to love someone just to have sex. You can also just like them. Do you dare to say that you don't like Brother Keke? If you lie, you'll only be able to happily grab the sheets with one hand for the rest of your life!"

Tu Xinyue's two sentences had already led Xue Jiuyue astray. Although she didn't fully understand the meaning of the last curse, she could guess roughly. She replied shyly, "I don't hate it, ahem."

"That's it, he loves you, and you don't hate him! He's not married, and you're not married, so what's wrong with having sex once? It doesn't hurt anyone else, so what's the problem?"

"My ideas are different from yours, and I still can't accept it..."

"Um, Sister Yue, we're not discussing concepts right now. It's a fait accompli, so we're talking about the aftermath. As for whether or not people accept it, that's not important right now."

"It's important. I already have a boyfriend. Are you willing to be casual now?"

"Doctor Liu, are you sure?" Tu Xinyue's wicked question revealed a meaning that was not suitable for children.

Whenever Liu Che was mentioned, Xue Jiuyue's heart always ached. "It's not what you think. We just hugged and held hands. We both understood each other's feelings."

"Then how can Brother Keke still have a chance to take the lead?"

"I told you he's always been very restrained in his love. This time when I got into trouble, he should have donated his stored corneas to me. He himself might not be able to recover, so he's hiding from me, not letting me find him..."

Xue Jiuyue recounted her emotional journey last night, and Tu Xinyue listened intently. After a moment's reflection, she said, "Sister Yue, you're mentally strong enough to have managed to hold on until now. And you're lucky, as good deeds are rewarded, as you happened to meet Brother Keke. If it were me, I would have just wished anyone could give me a hug!"

"You mean it's not my fault?"

"You were not at fault in the first place. You were just drunk and recognized the wrong person. Besides, if it weren't for this incident, you would probably have lost your memory. You can't say what adverse consequences there might be! Anyway, if it were me, I would go crazy."

"But after all, I already have a boyfriend, and I'm with someone else..."

"This was purely an accident, and a misunderstanding that happened under such special circumstances. Dr. Liu will definitely understand. He loves you so much that he's willing to let go for your happiness, so how could he care about this dream?" Tu Xinyue concluded, then nodded to the side and said, "True love can overcome such difficult obstacles. And that was after marriage! You and Dr. Liu had a verbal agreement at best. We didn't even have any intimate contact. To me, ordinary friends are closer than you two."

Xue Jiuyue knew Tu Xinyue was referring to Qiuxue and her husband. After Qixi Festival, they'd occasionally come to the café to sit down. Compared to before, Qiuxue had become more composed, her husband more spirited, and the two of them seemed more harmonious and attuned to each other. Having not seen each other for months, he had even come in to express his concern for Xue Jiuyue.

"But I still don't have the face to face it." Xue Jiuyue still didn't come out.

"My dear sister, this is really a trivial matter! In my experience, the biggest worry about this kind of thing is that Brother Keke will keep pestering me. There shouldn't be any problems with him, and you've handled it properly. What else is there? If you ask me, what happened last night was really beneficial and harmless! Besides, I remember you were still wondering whether your feelings for Dr. Liu were love or just transference. I always say that only after desire can one see the truth. Didn't I help you see it clearly last night? Brother Keke saw it clearly, what about you?"

The "expert's" opinion made sense no matter how you listened to it. Xue Jiuyue was about to speak when Cheng Qing came over with a bouquet of flowers. "Congratulations, Xiaoyue!"

"Thanks!"

During his hospitalization, Cheng Qing flew to Dongyuan to visit him twice. Now he rushed to the store again, which made Xue Jiuyue particularly moved.

She took the initiative to introduce: "Qing, this is my good sister Tu Xinyue. Xinyue, this is Cheng Qing, my classmate and best friend."

After introducing them, Xue Jiuyue felt embarrassed for them because of Zeng Le. But the next second was an eye-opening moment.
