"What happened last time was my fault. Whatever you do is your choice, and I shouldn't have scolded you like that," Sun Yanqing explained somewhat awkwardly. That day, he had originally planned to confess his feelings to Bai Ningshuang. He had liked her for many years, and this time he had finally mustered up the courage.
He bought flowers and appeared at her door, but a man opened the door instead.
The man's shirt was half-open, revealing messy and suggestive marks on his chest. He wiped the marks from the corner of his mouth and looked at him with a half-smile: "Looking for Bai Ningshuang? Sorry, she's busy and it's very inconvenient for her."
The man emphasized the word "very," as if in a provocation.
"Who are you?" His brow twitched, but his face was frighteningly grim.
"Me? In short, I'm not his boyfriend. You can think of me as a friend with benefits, or a lover?"
This remark completely enraged Sun Yanqing.
He stormed into her house and started arguing with Bai Ningshuang.
Bai Ningshuang remained calm. She simply told Gu Feiyang to leave first, as she had some personal matters to attend to. She then poured him a glass of water and told him to speak slowly.
"Bai Ningshuang, are you fucking crazy? What are you doing playing around with a man like that? Are you that desperate for a man? Are you that shameless?"
Upon hearing his words, Bai Ningshuang's face turned pale instantly. Originally, she wanted to tell him the whole story, after all, they had been friends for so many years, and she had no intention of hiding anything from him. But with his attitude, she didn't want to say anything anymore.
"That's just who I am, young master Sun, do you understand?"
"Bai Ningshuang, you have no shame."
"Whether I have a sense of shame or not is none of your business. Don't think that just because we've been friends for years you have the right to interfere in my privacy. Sun Yanqing, you're not qualified."
"Do you even know what you're saying? Tell me what you're trying to do! Do you think a man like that will take responsibility for you, or are you just going to play around? Bai Ningshuang, how come I never noticed before how despicable you are?" The anger in his chest couldn't help but explode. He really wanted to take her brain apart and see what was inside.
"Yes, I am despicable! That's my business, what right do you have to tell me what to do!"
"Get out of here! Get out of here right now!"
Sun Yanqing's face was frighteningly dark. She turned around and left the house, casually throwing the flowers in her hand into the trash can. Later, she met Xiang Jin.
…………
Recalling what happened that day, Sun Yanqing still felt a dull ache in her chest.
He got drunk several times afterward and finally figured some things out.
She's right. He's just her friend, her buddy. He has no right to interfere in her private life. Although he's unwilling, he has to admit this fact.
Bai Ningshuang's face was a little pale.
Sun Yanqing's words that day were still vivid in her mind, like a thorn that would prick her heart from time to time. If it were anyone else, she could pretend it hadn't happened, but not him, not him, and not Xiang Jin either.
They should be the people who trust each other the most.
But she didn't want to lose Sun Yanqing either. After so many years of friendship, she didn't want to become strangers with him.
"It's all in the past now, but Young Master Sun was right. I admit I was shameless." Bai Ning Shuang gave an awkward, somewhat stiff smile.
Sun Yanqing lowered his head: "Are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
Bai Ningshuang was about to agree when a familiar voice rang out from downstairs: "He has an appointment, so there's no need to trouble Young Master Sun."
Gu Feiyang remained as arrogant as ever, but his eyes held a deep hostility. He met Sun Yanqing's provocative gaze and shielded Bai Ningshuang behind him, saying, "Young Master Sun, if you have nothing else to say, you may leave."
Sun Yanqing sneered: "This is the hospital where I work. Me, leaving? It's you who should be leaving."
"No one in this world can control me except my brother and sister-in-law. You think I'll just leave when you tell me to?"
"So what would you like to do, sir? Stay for dinner?" Sun Yanqing's expression was somewhat sarcastic.
"It's not that it's impossible."
Sun Yanqing's face turned cold, and he stared intently at Gu Feiyang. Gu Feiyang, not to be outdone, looked at Sun Yanqing defiantly.
Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, Bai Ningshuang rubbed her forehead and said, "Yan Qing, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
“Okay, sure.” Sun Yanqing’s expression was stiff.
Bai Ningshuang turned and left, and Gu Feiyang followed. Looking in the direction the two left, Sun Yanqing clenched his fist and punched the wall.
Xiang Jin roughly calculated the time, thinking that the two should have talked things out by then, before coming out of the ward. However, she only saw Sun Yanqing, but Bai Ningshuang was nowhere to be seen.
Sun Yanqing looked rather grim and said she had to leave first. Xiang Jin didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and returned to Haitang Bay as well.
Murong Xiao was working overtime, while Xiang Jin ate her meal and then went upstairs to concentrate on her painting.
She had already submitted several drafts of her series of paintings, which Wen Yufan was very satisfied with, but he was not planning to publish them yet and wanted to wait for the later works. So they discussed arranging a meeting with Xiang Jin to clarify the publication of the series of paintings.
After discussing some specific matters, it was already midnight. Xiang Jin hesitated whether to send a message to Murong Xiao.
After hesitating for a long time, she decided not to send the message and turned to go to the bathroom.
She thought that since he was so busy, she wouldn't bother him.
After coming out of the bathroom, Xiang Jin saw a missed call on her phone from Bai Ning Shuang.
A sudden pang of heart palpitation struck her, and she quickly dialed back, but no one answered.
What's going on? Shuangshuang never doesn't answer the phone like this. Could something have happened? A bad feeling rose in her heart, and she nervously dialed the number again.
This time someone answered, and the other end was very noisy, with all sorts of sounds.
"Hello, are you Bai Ningshuang's friend? She was in a car accident and is on her way to Nanjing University Hospital. Do you know her family's phone number? Could you please contact them for her?"
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Jin rushed to the hospital immediately.
The operating room lights were still on, and she saw a person sitting on the side of the corridor, looking solemn.
"Feiyang, what are you doing here?" Xiang Jin walked up to Gu Feiyang and saw that his chest was covered in blood, and her face turned pale.
"This blood is..."
"Bai Ningshuang's."
Xiang Jin's vision went black, and she almost fainted.
That evening, Gu Feiyang took Bai Ningshuang to the mall. He didn't know where his anger came from, and he didn't give her a kind look the whole way. Bai Ningshuang couldn't stand this, and questioned him about his madness and his right to interfere in her life, and then they had a big fight.
As agreed, their cooperation would end after Jiang Anqing was rescued, but when he saw her with that boy from the Sun family, his anger surged to the top of his head and he couldn't suppress it no matter what he did, and he didn't even know why.
Later, he forced Bai Ningshuang to go out for a meal, but she didn't have much of an appetite. She ate a few bites and then complained that she wanted to go home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they came out of the mall, they ran into Xiang Qi. Xiang Qi had drunk quite a bit and was chatting with a group of friends on the roadside. The two started arguing as soon as they met, and then a conflict broke out.
