Chapter 61 What do you think of me?
Su Mengxue didn't expect Lu Yuanzhou to ask her this question suddenly, but she didn't hesitate and replied without hesitation: "I don't like it."
After hearing this answer, Lu Yuanzhou's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed. Although what Su Mengxue said just now was difficult for him to accept for a while, it was still a blessing in disguise.
The burning light in his eyes rekindled, his Adam's apple rolled a few times with difficulty, and he said, "Mengxue, as long as you don't like Brother Yunting, I still have a chance."
When Su Mengxue heard his answer, she felt that what she had just said was in vain. She sighed, frowned and reminded him, "Lu Yuanzhou, these are two different things. Did you understand what I just said?"
Seeing that Lu Yuanzhou didn't say anything, she got angry and said without restraint: "Lu Yuanzhou, I have lost my innocence, so don't have any more unrealistic expectations of me..."
Lu Yuanzhou raised his hand to cover her mouth, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He whispered, "Mengxue, I admit that I felt very uncomfortable after hearing what you said just now, but compared to this, I care about you more. What's more, you are an innocent victim in this matter. It's not your fault."
Su Mengxue was both angry and anxious when she heard him say this. Seeing his persistence and determination, she knew that it was useless to say more, so she had to swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Anyway, she had said everything she needed to say. She couldn't force Lu Yuanzhou to stop liking her in this matter. She secretly decided that she had to keep her distance from him in the future to prevent him from getting deeper into trouble.
She then thought about the hospitalization. She had just received her salary from Tang Qing, and she also had some money on hand, so she thought that if she had enough money, she would pay him back.
She raised her eyes and asked, "Lu Yuanzhou, how much did my hospitalization cost this time?"
Lu Yuanzhou replied truthfully: "I wanted to pay the bill, but Brother Yun Ting stopped me. He paid for your hospitalization."
Why is it Gu Yunting again? Su Mengxue frowned. He refused to pay the three hundred yuan she owed him before, and this time it might be even worse. Besides, he was put in solitary confinement for standing up for her. She really owed him too much.
When Lu Yuanzhou saw Su Mengxue mentioned the hospitalization, he told her about what happened today.
After listening to this, Su Mengxue scratched her head in annoyance, fearing that the relationship between her and Gu Yunting was becoming increasingly complicated.
Lu Yuanzhou suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and pulled out a leather envelope from his trouser pocket and handed it to her: "Mengxue, this is the money Chen Sheng asked me to give you. He has already sold all your clothes for you."
Su Mengxue took it and counted it. There were five hundred yuan in total, fifty yuan more than she expected. She took out three hundred yuan and stuffed it into Lu Yuanzhou's hand: "Lu Yuanzhou, I'll return the three hundred yuan deposit you paid for me earlier."
"Mengxue, I'm not short of money, this money you..."
"Even if you don't need money, I can't take your money for nothing. Besides, even brothers have to settle accounts. If you don't accept it, I won't dare ask you to help me pay for it in the future."
Lu Yuanzhou knew that Su Mengxue didn't want to owe him anything, so he frowned and said with a hurt look on his face: "Mengxue, you clearly know how I feel about you, do you really have to settle it with me so clearly?"
Su Mengxue avoided his sad eyes, pursed her lips, and said unnaturally: "Lu Yuanzhou, we are not suitable, let's just be friends."
Lu Yuanzhou forced a smile that was uglier than crying: "Friends? Mengxue, you know I never thought of being just friends with you."
He suddenly took a half step forward, his voice filled with broken pleading: "Mengxue, can you give me a chance? I can wait until you are willing to look back at me."
A short pain is better than a long one. Su Mengxue said cruelly, "Lu Yuanzhou, don't be like this. Some things don't just come true with hard work."
Before she finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor. Su Mengxue looked up towards the door and saw Chen Yanzhi leaning against the door frame, his eyes full of inquiry.
When Lu Yuanzhou turned around and saw Chen Yan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly stood up and asked, "Brother Yanzhi, why are you here?"
Chen Yanzhi slowly approached, stopped two steps away from them, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You can come but I can't?"
Lu Yuanzhou quickly explained: "No, I just feel a little surprised to see you here at this time."
Chen Yanzhi turned his head to look at Su Mengxue, curled his lips and smiled, "Grandpa Gu was sick and I came to visit him. When I was leaving, I heard Aunt Sun mention it, and then I knew you were also in the hospital, so I stopped by to see you."
He spread his hands and an apologetic look on his face. "I didn't know about this beforehand, so I didn't have time to bring any gifts. I hope you don't mind."
Su Mengxue said that she and Chen Yanzhi had only met a few times, and if he brought a gift, it would be a burden to her. She smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, no need to be so polite."
After Chen Yanzhi finished speaking, he glanced out the window and turned his head and said, "It's late at night, I won't disturb your rest."
Su Mengxue replied lightly: "Okay."
As soon as Chen Yanzhi turned around, Lu Yuanzhou said to Su Mengxue, "I'll go see Brother Yanzhi off."
Before Su Mengxue could respond, Chen Yanzhi spoke first, "Send? Yuanzhou, don't you plan to come with me?"
Lu Yuanzhou froze in place. Just as he was lost in thought, Chen Yanzhi added calmly, "What the patient needs most right now is rest. How could you stay and disturb her? Besides, it's late at night, and the two of you are in the same room. It won't be good for her reputation if word gets out."
"Brother Yanzhi, I..." Lu Yuanzhou was speechless for a moment.
Su Mengxue understood Chen Yanzhi's intention and said, "Lu Yuanzhou, I'm tired and want to sleep. You can go with Chen Yanzhi."
Lu Yuanzhou originally wanted to tell her what happened just now, but now seeing her say that, he had no choice but to respond: "Mengxue, I'll come to see you tomorrow." As he spoke, he picked up the thermos on the cabinet and stopped where he was reluctantly.
Seeing this, Chen Yanzhi stepped forward, put his arm around Lu Yuanzhou's arm, and smiled at Su Mengxue: "Then you have a good rest, we are leaving." After that, he quickly pulled Lu Yuanzhou out of the ward.
Just as Su Mengxue was about to lie down to rest, she saw Chen Yanzhi coming back. Su Mengxue asked in surprise, "Chen Yanzhi, why are you back again?"
"I forgot to tell you a few things just now." Chen Yanzhi put away his cynical look and looked a little serious. He walked up to her and asked directly: "Su Mengxue, do you like Lu Yuanzhou?"
Su Mengxue didn't expect Chen Yanzhi to ask so directly. Before she could answer, Chen Yanzhi added, "You've also met my sister Shen Min. She's been in love with Lu Yuanzhou for many years. If you don't have any feelings for him, it's best to stop him from thinking about her. It can also be considered as giving Minmin a chance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yanzhi leaned forward and said, "I don't think Lu Yuanzhou is your type. What do you think of me?"
