Chapter 310: It's Hard for Anyone Who Knows You Not to Like You
"Keep it on, don't catch a cold."
His tone was perfectly ordinary, as if it were just a normal, gentlemanly act.
Aren't you cold?
"It's not cold."
An Yu felt that she owed Zhou Jichen more and more.
How did I come to the conclusion that he was arrogant and conceited when he was such a gentle and gentlemanly person?
If you can't get what you want, you'll turn from a fan to a hater.
Waaah, An Yu, you can't take a joke, you have no heart!
An Yu quickly condemned herself in her heart.
Thinking back to when they were in Qiushui Bay, Zhou Jichen was seriously hurt by the jokes and remarks made by everyone.
Hesitantly, he said, "Dr. Zhou, you should still remember me, right?"
She looked up at Zhou Jichen, snowflakes clinging to her long eyelashes, melting into mist with each blink, making her eyes appear clear and shimmering.
"I mean, I confessed my feelings to you at Jiangbei No.1 High School."
The voice trailed off towards the end.
There was some uncertainty, and some unease about having to reveal one's innermost thoughts.
Zhou Jichen didn't expect her to be so direct.
Things that are unspoken can also be openly discussed.
Now it was his turn to be slightly taken aback.
Under An Yu's sincere gaze, his Adam's apple bobbed almost imperceptibly.
He almost thought An Yu was there to settle scores, his deep voice sounding very serious, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you back then, and I didn't think twice before refusing."
"I was young and naive back then, and I didn't really know what liking someone meant. Maybe I just longed for that kind of intense, dramatic feeling."
His apology made An Yu even more embarrassed.
"Besides, it's normal for you not to know me and not to like me, so it's your right and only natural to reject me."
After she finished speaking, she belatedly realized that her statement seemed ambiguous.
After realizing what she meant, she waved her hand haphazardly in mid-air and opened and closed her lips, "Oh, I'm not being narcissistic. I meant that you would like me once you get to know me."
An Yu added, "What I meant was, please don't take that truth or dare game from that night to heart. I'm afraid it might cause you misunderstanding or trouble."
"Won't."
The doctor will be making routine rounds soon, An Yu glanced at the time on her phone.
"Dr. Zhou, shall we go upstairs? And your clothes..."
Zhou Jichen lowered his eyes. "You can wear it. It's cold down there. Hurry up and go up."
An Yu was a little confused. "Huh? Dr. Zhou, weren't you going to Building 3?"
He put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, his steady gaze once again subtly landing on An Yu's forehead. "I suddenly remembered I have something to do at the outpatient department, so I won't go."
Without thinking, An Yu stepped into the snow, leaving footprints.
She waved her hands in front of her face a few times, "Bye-bye, Dr. Zhou."
But just as she turned to leave, she heard Zhou Jichen suddenly call out to her.
"Miss An."
"Um?"
His expression was calm and composed. An Yu suddenly realized that Zhou Jichen's aloofness was perfectly suited to this snowy day.
"Some things don't need explanation. People who know you can't help but like you."
An Yu's mind stirred slightly.
Was Zhou Jichen praising her and comforting her?
After all, he was chased and cursed by He Jiayu's fans after he arrogantly insulted her.
Even though public opinion about He Jiayu has turned overwhelmingly negative now, there are still die-hard fans who are stubborn and refuse to let it go.
An Yu smiled sweetly, revealing shallow dimples at the corners of her lips.
Yet it is very vivid.
"Thank you, Dr. Zhou, but I didn't take other people's bad comments to heart."

At this moment, the He family's house was in complete disarray.
He Jiayu has become the target of public criticism.
Behind the scenes, there are two invisible forces pushing Zhao Qin's statements, causing He Jiayu's negative news to resurface and remain high.
Xu Xiangbai had clearly given up on her.
Even the company's public relations department unilaterally issued a statement announcing the termination of the contract.
The Public Security Bureau and the Tax Bureau also launched an investigation into He Jiayu.
He Jiayu has nowhere to hide; her reputation is already ruined, both in the real world and online.
She could only flee back to the He family in a sorry state.
She originally thought that she was the eldest daughter of the He family, but she didn't expect that her biological father's reaction was even colder than last time.
Even heartless.
"You've committed such a terrible and irreparable crime that even the King of Heaven himself couldn't help you, let alone come to me."
He Yingzhen avoided He Jiayu like the plague, saying, "Get out of the He family right now. The He family has no daughter like you. From now on, you have nothing to do with the He family."
"You want to sever our father-daughter relationship?"
He Yingzhen did not deny it.
"Jiayu, even if you're unwilling, it's no use. After all, the He family never keeps useless people. Only useful people deserve to be a part of this family. This has always been our family tradition."
Daughters, after all, are like water that will eventually be spilled out of the house.
Gold and silver water still have some value, but wastewater like He Jiayu's will only bring trouble to the He family.
He Yingzhen was never a loving father.
Besides, if one daughter is ruined, he still has another.
He Suisui has been part of the He family for many years and has gradually become more respectable.
He Jiayu's eyes were fierce, and she questioned him unwillingly:
"So, you're going to watch me die?"
Beside them, He Suisui added fuel to the fire at just the right moment, "Sister, don't blame Dad for being heartless. Dad gave you chances, but you always do things that drag the He family into the mire..."
He Yingzhen's true nature as a businessman was fully revealed.
"You're just asking for trouble, my darling daughter. I've advised you not to mess with people you shouldn't, but why won't you listen? You insist on making things difficult for Fu Yanjing's women, and no one can help you."
"I can't let the He family be implicated because of you."
He Jiayu keenly noticed the unfamiliarity in his words.
His eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you say? You warned me?"
Beside her, He Suisui gave a meaningful smile.
He Jiayu didn't miss He Suisui's triumphant expression, and instantly had a sudden realization.
Pointing at He Suisui, she said shrilly, "You framed me? He Suisui, how dare you frame me! You're the one who told me Wen Jin was a thorn in Dad's side!! She ruined Dad's business! It was you!!"
"Sister, don't wrong me. I was clearly following Father's orders to kindly persuade you to behave yourself." He Suisui played the innocent role to the extreme, taking He Jiayu's path and leaving He Jiayu with nowhere to go.
He Jiayu is now at her wit's end, so naturally she is determined to do whatever it takes.
She rushed forward to hit He Suisui.
But He Yingzhen pushed her away first and slapped He Jiayu across the face without any mercy.
“You should be more polite to your sister. The future glory of the He family depends on her. I’m even counting on her face to help me snag a rich husband.”
He Jiayu fell heavily to the ground.
"Dad! Did that mistress and that bitch bewitch you? You used to love me the most! And you said she was nothing but a stray dog!!"
"You are now just a useless pawn to the He family. Wealthy families never keep idle people."
