Shen Yanxi was startled. She turned her head and met Zhou Mingyan's eyes: "What are you doing here?"
She didn't know when Zhou Mingyan arrived, and she felt inexplicably guilty.
Zhou Mingyan reached out and grasped Shen Yanxi's shoulder: "Xixi, I know why I came to find He Lingchuan. You don't want him to go abroad. Xixi, I'm increasingly confused about whether you really love me. If you do, why don't you let He Lingchuan leave?"
Shen Yanxi moved her lips, but couldn't utter a single word.
Zhou Mingyan persisted, and seeing that she refused to answer, he became even more anxious: "Xixi, to you, who is more important, me or He Lingchuan?"
Shen Yanxi remained silent until Zhou Mingyan wanted to ask again, at which point she finally spoke: "I don't know, please don't ask me again."
Shen Yanxi frowned. She didn't know who was more important to her. She simply didn't want He Lingchuan to leave.
After all, it was He Lingchuan who kept her company during the days Zhou Mingyan was away.
...
The news of Shen Yanxi going to the laboratory quickly reached Shen's mother's ears. She called Shen Yanxi to tell her to behave herself and not interfere with He Lingchuan's decision.
He Lingchuan did not return that night either.
Shen Yanxi made several calls, but the line was always busy. Furious, she smashed her phone and deleted He Lingchuan's contact information.
The conflict between the two became common knowledge. After learning about this, Cao Wei rushed over to persuade Shen Yanxi to let go.
"What's so good about this man? He's treated you like this, why are you still thinking about him?"
As Cao Wei spoke, she kept glancing at her younger sister out of the corner of her eye. Hearing that she had come to find Shen Yanxi, Cao Xue also started clamoring to come too.
Thinking about Cao Xue's feelings for He Lingchuan, she worried that Cao Xue might still have feelings for He Lingchuan, so she wanted to take this opportunity to test his feelings.
Upon arriving at Shen Yanxi's house, Cao Wei searched everywhere for He Lingchuan. She breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that he was not home.
Unexpectedly, just as she began to speak ill of He Lingchuan, the door was opened.
The group looked over and met He Lingchuan's calm expression.
Shen Yanxi frowned, her tone full of accusation: "Why did you come back..."
"Brother Lingchuan, where did you go? I didn't see you when I came in."
Cao Wei's heart skipped a beat; she knew this little girl had come here for He Lingchuan.
She frowned, about to call Cao Xue back, when she saw her skip and hop to He Lingchuan's side.
She was laughing so happily that Cao Wei suddenly selfishly wanted to let the two of them chat a little longer.
What are you doing here? Who came with you?
He Lingchuan looked at the person in front of him with some surprise. He didn't expect to see Cao Xue again.
He looked up and met Cao Wei sitting next to Shen Yanxi.
Before he could even greet her, Cao Wei said, "You're back, busy man?"
As she spoke, Cao Wei walked over to Cao Xue and grabbed her arm, saying, "What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid people will look down on you? Come back here."
"No, I finally got to see Brother Lingchuan, and I want to talk to him. Brother Lingchuan is very interesting to talk to, and I like being with him."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yanxi's face darkened instantly.
She stood up and walked up to He Lingchuan, coldly rebuking him: "He Lingchuan, look at the trouble you've caused! You're not even letting go of such a young girl. Are you even human? She's my best friend's sister."
When Shen Yanxi gets angry, she speaks without thinking, and Cao Wei has long been used to this.
But Cao Wei was still a little unhappy because she was referring to her own sister.
She tugged at Shen Yanxi's hand, about to remind her that her words were inappropriate, when she heard He Lingchuan retort: "Since she is your best friend's sister, you should be even less likely to say such things. You are slandering her and showing no respect for your best friend."
He Lingchuan's voice was neither warm nor cold. He glanced at Cao Xue and patted his head: "We can chat another time when we have the chance. Today is not a convenient day."
He came back mainly to retrieve something, but he never expected to see Cao Xue.
He had only thought the little girl was cute before, and didn't have any feelings for her.
Besides, with Shen Yanxi and Cao Wei both present, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to speak to Cao Xue alone.
Cao Xue looked at He Lingchuan with some disappointment, and pouted, "Then can I get your contact information? That way I can contact you whenever I want to talk to you."
He Lingchuan had already raised his foot, but when he heard Cao Xue say that, he pulled it back.
He looked at Cao Wei and slowly said, "If your sister agrees to you continuing to contact me, I can give you my contact information."
It's clear that Cao Wei doesn't seem to like her very much.
"Sister, is it okay?"
Cao Xue blinked her big eyes and looked at Cao Wei expectantly.
Cao Wei hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently: "But you two must take me with you when you meet."
"Don't worry, sister, I won't meet with him alone."
Cao Xue simply had the mind of a little girl. She had gotten along well with He Lingchuan before, so she wanted to continue chatting with him. She didn't mean anything by it.
After getting her contact information, Cao Xue jumped up excitedly.
Cao Wei looked at her with some concern and whispered a reminder: "Don't get too excited, be careful not to do something..."
Before she could even utter the word "illness," Cao Xue suddenly frowned and fell backward.
Fortunately, He Lingchuan reacted quickly and pulled the person into his arms. He frowned as he looked at Cao Xue and saw that the person in his arms had a pale face and cyanotic lips, as if she would soon be unable to breathe.
He looked up at Cao Wei: "What's wrong with her?"
"She has a congenital heart condition; she must have been too excited just now."
He Lingchuan then understood why Cao Wei hadn't wanted her to get too excited.
He put Cao Xueping on the ground and asked Cao Wei, "Do you have any medicine?"
"I'll go get it now."
Cao Wei remained very calm. She had encountered similar situations before, and as Cao Xue's older sister, she was used to it.
While Cao Wei was getting the medicine, He Lingchuan began performing CPR on Cao Xue. Judging from Cao Wei's appearance, Cao Xue's condition shouldn't be too serious.
But just in case, he still performed a full set of CPR. By the time Cao Wei returned, Cao Xue had already woken up.
He Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, his tone tinged with reproach: "You really scared me to death. You have a heart condition, why didn't you pay more attention? And you were jumping around like that."
Cao Xue had just woken up, her face still a little pale, but she could hear the concern in He Lingchuan's tone.
She stuck out her tongue, looking playful: "I didn't expect to get so excited. Maybe it's because I haven't seen you in so long. So if you see me more often, I won't have this problem next time."
