Chapter 434: Love is the most torturous word

Qiao Xi dialed Shu Xue's number in front of Zhou Yu, and the phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.

Shu Xue asked in a hoarse voice, "Hey, Qiao Xi, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Qiao Xi looked at the pitiful Zhou Yu in front of her and said softly, "Shu Xue, Zhou Yu got drunk in the bar and is clamoring to see you. Can you come and take him home?"

Shu Xue was silent for a while and said, "It's too late. It's not safe for me to go out alone. Please ask Lao Chen or someone else to take him back."

She actually refused!

Qiao Xi was a little surprised. She remembered clearly how much affection she had for Zhou Yu in the past, so why did he refuse?

"Qiao Xi, I'm hanging up first."

Shu Xue's tone was very abnormal and she hung up the phone directly.

Qiao Xi listened to the beeping sound from her phone, looked at Zhou Yu and said, "She said she couldn't come."

It seems that the self-torture tactic is of no use.

Zhou Yu was depressed: "Even if she was jealous of A-Ju and Xiao-Mei before, she wouldn't make such a fuss. She knew very well how we met, and she didn't mind my past! Why this time..."

Until now, Zhou Yu still felt that Shu Xue was just gambling.

Qiao Xi stood under the street light and looked at the distressed Zhou Yu and said, "Because she knows that A-Ju is different from Xie Liuzheng. All those women you have dated briefly are not as good as a finger of Xie Liuzheng. And she also found that she is useless in front of Xie Liuzheng."

Qiao Xi had experienced this feeling before.

This is called inferiority complex.

Zhou Yu shouted in confusion: "But I love her, not Xie Liuzheng. Isn't that enough?"

Qiao Xi asked: "So the reason why she is better than Xie Liuzheng is because she has your love now. What if one day you don't love her anymore?"

What is left?

Zhou Yu was stunned by the question.

"Zhou Yu, Shu Xue feels that she can't afford the risk. She doesn't have enough confidence to separate from you decently and pursue her own path when you don't love her anymore. You only see that she is being awkward with you, but you don't think about why she would care so much if she doesn't really love you."

Qiao Xi doesn't understand male thinking.

Maybe men are more direct in thinking about things, and not as detailed as women.

Zhou Yu felt as if he had been hit hard by a hammer. He seemed to understand something, but not quite. A thin layer of membrane was about to be pierced, revealing the truth.

Huo Xingzhou took Qiao Xi's slightly trembling hand and said, "Old Chen, get him in the car and let's go home together."

"Okay, Master."

Old Chen dragged the dazed Zhou Yu to the passenger seat, then opened the window for ventilation. The wine was fermenting and it really smelled a bit bad.

Huo Xingzhou looked down at Qiao Xi and said, "Don't worry about this idiot."

Qiao Xi puffed up her cheeks and looked at him: "Mr. Zhou used to talk about our affairs very clearly. I thought he was a master of emotions, but I didn't expect that my own emotions were all a mess."

"Those in power are confused, but those who are watching can see clearly. The word "love" is the most tormenting."

Some people become stupid because of love, and some people become crazy because of love.

Even he is no exception.

"Let's go home."

Qiao Xi listened to him and nodded obediently.

…

And the other side.

Shu Xue hung up the phone, put the phone aside and looked at her parents sitting on the sofa.

On the tea table was a completed application form for aid to Africa, which only needed the signatures of family members.

Shu Xue's parents looked unhappy and their eyes were red.

Mother Shu choked up and asked, "Have you really decided? This is Africa, and accidents can easily happen to the medical team. Although our family is not as wealthy as others, we have raised you well since you were young, and you have never suffered any hardship. You are our only daughter!"

Father Shu said in a stern tone: "You are not allowed to go! I will not sign this for you!"

"Xue'er, you're not angry with Zhou Yu and want to leave, are you? If you have a conflict with him, just resolve it. I think he is a good boy who really wants to live with you. Don't do anything stupid!"

Shu Xue knew it would be difficult to convince them, but she still wanted to try.

"Mom and Dad, this is a decision I made after careful consideration. It has nothing to do with Zhou Yu. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this. It was me who forced him to meet you and get the marriage certificate with me. He is a non-marriageist. We were just having fun."

Shu Xue's eyes were filled with tears. "I know you guys are doing this for my own good, arranging a stable job for me. Most people can't even get into Haicheng Hospital, and you hope I can find a good partner, get married, and have kids. But I don't want to just muddle through my life, I want to see the world outside."

She also has a rebellious spirit in her bones.

"Isn't it good to be stable? Can't our family live in peace?" Father Shu was furious. "Shu Xue, stop messing around!"

Shu Xue took a deep breath, then knelt down in front of her parents.

"Mom and Dad, please forgive me for being unfilial!"

She kowtowed three times, her forehead turning red as it struck the cold, hard floor.

"I don't want to live my life in a muddle. I have come to this world and I must do something that I think is meaningful. My daughter understands your good intentions, but I want to give it a try. Whether it is right or wrong, I will take responsibility."

Shu Xue's father was heartbroken: "Do you have to go?"

Shu Xue said word by word: "I have to go."

"Shu Xue, there is no medicine for regret in this world! If you go to Africa to help now, it means there is no possibility between you and Zhou Yu. The conditions there are harsh, and you may not be able to bear it and back out, and then you will lose everything. If it is more dangerous, you may even lose your life..."

The pillar of the family almost shed tears when he said this.

Shu Xue had never seen her father like this before. Her heart was trembling, but she still said, "Dad, everyone will yearn for a path they have not chosen, and regret the one they have taken. Married people will envy unmarried people, and unmarried people will also fantasize about their married life. But until the end of the road, who knows which one is the right one!"

"I have to walk my own path."

"Please forgive me."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Her voice was firm.

Shu Xue's mother had already burst into tears. In her memory, her child had always been sensible and well-behaved, and would follow her family's arrangements to go on blind dates even when they urged her to get married. She had no idea that she had so many thoughts and grievances.

Shu Xue's father picked up the application form and read it again and again.

He didn't understand her sudden rebellion, but he could see that she had made up her mind.

Are they wrong to arrange such a smooth and easy path for their children?

His back was somewhat hunched.

Finally, with a heavy heart, he slowly spoke: "This is a big deal. Your mother and I need to discuss it. You should go back to your room and rest. Tomorrow is Monday, and you still have to go to work."

Shu Xue glanced at them and nodded. She really didn't have much hope.

My parents are employees of state-owned enterprises and have traditional ideas.

She returned to her room and leaned against the door. She could still hear her mother crying in the living room.

Is she a little too selfish?
