Ye Jianming sat between two computers, typing rapidly with all ten fingers, leaving Rong Yan dumbfounded.
"Come here." Fu Jingsheng pulled the woman to his side. "Don't disturb him, let's check the others."
Shen Xingzhi replied to the negative comments. Because she hadn't rested the night before, she stared at her phone screen for a while, and her eyes hurt. The woman took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. Only then did Rong Yan notice her best friend's swollen eyes, which looked like walnuts.
She pressed Shen Xingzhi's hand, looked at her closely, and asked, "What happened? Your eyes are so swollen, and your eyeballs are red."
Shen Xingzhi deliberately concealed the truth: "It's from staying up all night, Rong Yan. After this is over, you have to give me half a nursing card."
“Come out with me.” Rong Yan knew her best friend too well. In the past, when the two of them played games for a whole day and night without sleeping, at most they would have dark circles under their eyes, but never red and swollen eyes, unless Shen Xingzhi had been crying.
She didn't even need to think about it; it was definitely related to Yu Wenhao.
"Fu Jingsheng, you go ahead and talk to Xingzhi. I'll have a chat with her," Rong Yan informed her husband.
The two people sat under the pavilion outside the door.
Rong Yan patted her best friend's head: "What happened? Did you keep quiet because you saw I was busy?"
"No," Shen Xingzhi denied.
"Don't lie to me, don't I know you? Isn't it Yu Wenhao? Xingzhi, I'll be there for you whenever you need me. What happened last night? Your eyes are so swollen, you must have been crying for a long time," Rong Yan asked with concern.
Shen Xingzhi couldn't hold back anymore. The composure she had finally managed to maintain was instantly shattered by her best friend's concern, and tears streamed down her face again: "I texted him but he didn't reply, he rejected my calls, and when I called again I found out I'd been blocked. Is it inconvenient for him? Does he have someone else? If I contact him, his current girlfriend will misunderstand..."
The woman recounted everything that had happened yesterday in detail.
Rong Yan slammed her hand on the table and stood up. The glass on the table was shaken and fell to the ground, the clattering sound making everyone in the room look up.
"Rongyan, don't get agitated. They're watching. They'll laugh at me when they know I've been dumped."
As expected, Fu Jingsheng came over first and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
Rong Yan patted her chest: "This is none of your business, go about your business."
"Oh, don't get excited." Fu Jingsheng had also guessed that it was Shen Xingzhi's relationship problem.
Rong Yan swept away the glass shards, grabbed a new glass, poured herself a glass of iced juice, and drank it down in one gulp, but her anger was not aroused.
"I didn't realize Yu Wenhao was usually so honest. He does things that are really shocking. Have you two officially broken up? If not, then he's cheating and is rushing to find someone else, a seamless transition?" Rong Yan's fiery temper was completely out of control.
After she finished yelling, she suddenly wondered if there might be a misunderstanding. Before she could verify it, she calmed down and asked Shen Xingzhi, "Is it possible that his mother saw your phone and blocked it?"
Shen Xingzhi looked up in surprise. Yesterday, she was so focused on imagining Yu Wenhao going on a blind date that she didn't think about Yu's mother. Given how much Yu's mother rejected her, it was indeed possible that she deliberately used her son's phone to block her.
“It’s possible, but if Yu Wenhao misses me, and I haven’t blocked him, he should call me. But he hasn’t called me or replied to my messages.” Shen Xingzhi quickly contradicted herself.
Rong Yan took out her phone: "Use my phone to call him if you're worried."
The woman crossed her arms and stubbornly said, "I won't fight him. Why should I look for him? If he's gone, he's gone. There are plenty of men out there."
Rong Yan looked at her best friend with suspicion: "Don't be stubborn. Do you think I don't know what you're really thinking? Ask her directly, instead of wasting your time guessing."
Rong Yan dialed Yu Wenhao's number.
The man on the other end of the line had accompanied his mother to several hospitals, but they couldn't find out the specific problem. He was at his wits' end when he heard the phone ringing.
He answered the call.
“Yu Wenhao, Xingzhi needs to contact you, but you’ve blocked her, so she can’t reach you. That’s why I’m calling her for you,” Rong Yan said directly.
"Huh? I blocked Xingzhi? No." Yu Wenhao has been so busy these past two days that he hasn't even had time to eat properly. How could he have blocked Shen Xingzhi for no reason?
He checked his contacts and sure enough, Shen Xingzhi was on his blacklist.
Did your mother block your phone when you left it with her at the hospital yesterday to pay the bill?
"You don't know?" Shen Xingzhi suddenly asked.
"Xingzhi, did you call me?" Yu Wenhao asked.
"How would I know you blocked me if I didn't call you? Even if you didn't block me, you didn't think to call me all day. What were you doing? Busy with blind dates? You're going to break up with me as soon as you find someone else, right..." Shen Xingzhi poured out all the grievances she had been holding back for days.
Yu Wenhao was stunned: "Break up? Find another boyfriend? Blind date? What's going on? My mom is sick, and I've been running to the hospital these past few days. Forget about finding another boyfriend, I haven't even had time to sleep. You have no idea how much my mom is suffering. She's in pain all over, crying out in pain all night long, and they can't find anything wrong with her. My dad can't read much, and I don't dare leave her at home while I go out..."
Without a second thought, Shen Xingzhi said, "Feeling pain all over? You're just acting. You've been in great spirits these past few days in Tiancheng, and you're even more eloquent than young people when it comes to arguing. Where does it hurt? She's really going to great lengths to keep you occupied."
"Xingzhi, how can you talk like that? My mother is superstitious, she wouldn't curse herself." Yu Wenhao didn't believe his mother was faking it, and besides, his mother had indeed taken a lot of painkillers these past two days.
Shen Xingzhi hung up the phone immediately. She said to Rong Yan, "See? He doesn't believe anything I say. If Yu's mother wants to keep him by her side, she can just pretend to be sick."
Rong Yan sighed: "At least we know Yu Wenhao didn't cheat on her. Maybe his mother really is sick. Let's wait and see."
“If he really doesn’t come back, you should find someone else. Xingzhi is so outstanding, why worry about not finding someone better?” Rongyan comforted her.
Shen Xingzhi said yes, but she couldn't help but feel angry inside.
After being hung up on, Yu Wenhao realized he had been too biased towards his mother, so he sent her a message to apologize: "Xingzhi, I didn't mean it that way. It was wrong of my mom to take matters into her own hands and touch my phone."
Do you know what? I had already bought a ticket back to Tiancheng for today, but my mom fell ill yesterday. I miss you so much, how could I deliberately stay in my hometown and not leave?
[Xingzhi, I'll keep my phone with me every step of the way from now on, can you give me a few more days?]
I really miss you. I wanted to tell you yesterday how much I missed you, but I was busy at the hospital and forgot.
...
Shen Xingzhi frowned as she stared at the message in the chat box. At this moment, Yu Wenhao's words were like empty promises. Would he forget to reply to her?
After a long pause, the woman sent a message: "If your mother still can't find the problem, are you still staying in your hometown?"
Yu Wenhao fell silent after seeing this.
After a while, he replied, "Xingzhi, I'll handle it. Can you give me some time? I'll go to two more hospitals today. If they still can't find the problem, I'm giving up."
Shen Xingzhi closed the chat window with a cold laugh.
Rong Yan patted her best friend's hand: "Why don't we give him a few more days? Forcing him won't work."
