After hearing what Zhou San said, I didn't know whether to be angry or amused; how could he be a match for Ye Zhi? Ye Zhi is really cruel, she could even hurt someone as innocent as Zhou San; on the other hand, she really cared about me, so she could even hurt someone as innocent as Zhou San.
I asked Zhou San, "San San, why are you so concerned about me being with Ye Zhi? ... Do you really think that something can happen between Ye Zhi and me, or are you worried that with Ye Zhi around, I can't have anything happen with your fourth brother?"
"Can you please stop talking so indirectly?"
"Think about it, think about it, and you'll definitely understand what I mean."
On Wednesday, he frowned, seemingly deep in thought.
I then asked him, "Has your fourth brother contacted you in the past two days?"
“She didn’t contact me, but I contacted her… I texted her her old phone number and told her that you lied to her because you had a serious problem with your leg… that you actually really liked her.”
Has she replied?
"No, I've been waiting since yesterday."
"Have you considered the possibility that she has actually seen the message you sent, but she doesn't want to reply?"
Zhou San looked at me with horror, and after a long while replied, "No... there's no possibility of that... If she knew your current situation, she would definitely come looking for you no matter what..."
"Do you think she's a machine, and that she'll never give up?"
Suddenly, Zhou San slapped himself hard across the face. He was fine, but I was stunned. This guy was really too neurotic.
On Wednesday, San slapped himself again, then said to me with deep regret, "Brother, I think I did something really stupid... I texted her that Ye Zhi came to see you and even hung balloons with you to create a romantic atmosphere... I wanted to make her feel a little threatened... but she didn't... She wants to let you and Ye Zhi be together... Has she really given up?"
I remained silent, and Wednesday felt even more remorseful.
Actually, before Yang Sisi returned to the public eye, all sorts of possibilities existed...
I really didn't want Zhou San to get involved in our mess, so I said, "San San, have you noticed that as things stand today, the rest of us involved have gradually let go, while you friends are becoming more and more stubborn... Please don't be like this. Even if you could be me right now, you might not be able to make the right choice for me... You have to understand one thing: Sisi might not be happy with me, and she might not be unhappy with someone else... Under these circumstances, I don't have the right to make the choice for her, let alone you?"
"I know……"
Zhou San looked dejected, and after a long while said, "Actually, my fourth brother told me... If one day you two can't be together, it doesn't depend on how much she loves you, the most important thing is how much you love her... My fourth brother is a wise woman, she has already figured it out herself... If she is irreplaceable in your heart, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you will not let go... Never mind, I won't say it again."
I lowered my head and didn't raise it for a long time.
...
On Wednesday, he left with his work clothes. He said that a colleague was getting married, so his supervisor asked him to go back and cover a few shifts. He would be staying in the company dormitory for the next few days and told me to take care of myself.
I felt quite disappointed... and finally understood Chen Jin's predicament at this moment; could there really be two women living in my heart at the same time? And they exist in different ways...
Deep down, I don't want to be that kind of person, because I am a man with moral burdens. I don't want to play with women, nor do I want to let anyone down.
But I can't control myself. All my feelings now are the result of my daily interactions with them, which have gradually accumulated over time... I have never played anyone, and I have never thought of having an affair.
...
The door was pushed open again, and this time it was Nicole who came in…
She was even more direct than Zhou San, so as soon as we met, she said to me, "Michael... now you should know who truly loves you... True love is about being there for each other regardless of the cost... I think Ye Zi really did that... I'm not trying to defend her, but she is indeed a woman whose actions speak louder than words... You two may not end up together, but no matter what, I hope you can forgive her for her past inconveniences..."
I don't know how to respond to that sentence...
I didn't look up at Nicole until my phone vibrated... It was Chen Jin calling.
I gestured for Nicole to answer the phone first, and then the call connected...
Chen Jin's voice was filled with fear and tension: "Michael, I'm finished... I'm afraid I've been infected!!"
"What's the meaning?"
Are there other people with you right now?
"Just Nicole..."
"Find a place where it's convenient to talk, and I'll call you back... Never mind, I'll send you a WeChat message instead."
As he spoke, Chen Jin hurriedly hung up the phone, and I had a bad feeling about it. I had already guessed most of what was going on.
"Come with me to the hospital tomorrow... I think I might have AIDS... I've been feeling really unwell these past few days. I looked it up online, and all my symptoms match up with this stuff... I'm afraid I've really messed up... How the hell could something with such a low probability have happened to me!"
Do you remember when this happened?
"I've slept with so many women, how could I possibly remember them all! ... It was probably when I first came to Dali, back when I never used condoms; it wasn't until this year, after hearing about someone's incident, that I started using condoms, but damn it, it was too late!"
I was breathing heavily, my fingers constantly tapping on my phone screen. I was extremely nervous... I couldn't accept losing Chen Jin as a friend.
Suddenly, my gaze shifted sharply to Nicole... Although she and Chen Jin hadn't officially started dating, in a relatively open place like Dali, it was easy for them to have casual sex after drinking... If something really happened to Chen Jin, countless people around him would be implicated... Ia would definitely be caught in the crossfire!
My Adam's apple bobbed, and after a long pause, I finally spoke to Nicole, "I have something to ask you..."
Oblivious to the situation, Nicole appeared relaxed and smiled as she said to me, "As for love, feel free to ask me anything I can understand."
"No, that's not it... I just wanted to ask... did you and Chen Jin do anything you shouldn't have done?"
Why are you suddenly asking this...? What do you mean by "things you shouldn't do"?
"What I mean is... have you two ever had a sexual relationship... you know, sexual intercourse..." Want to chat with more like-minded people about "My Tenant Sister"? Follow "Hot Articles" or "rd444" on WeChat to discuss your favorite books with other book lovers.
