Jiang Zhiming looked at Ye Wenyu with unspeakable sadness and pain in his eyes. He slowly asked her, "Do you think I came to find you because I still have feelings for you, because I'm fickle and greedy?"
Ye Wenyu was stunned. She looked up, glanced quickly at Jiang Zhiming, and then looked down again. She thought to herself, "Isn't that right? Otherwise, why would he be so attentive to his beautiful and rich girlfriend?"
Jiang Zhiming took a deep breath and suddenly asked her, "How are things between you and Cai Wenchuan now?"
Ye Wenyu was stunned again, her heart reeling as if struck by lightning. Her face turned pale instantly. How did he know? Why did he suddenly ask? What had happened? Did Jiang Zhiming now know about Cai Wenchuan and Lin Tingyue's past?
She didn't speak, but the subtle changes in her expression didn't escape Jiang Zhiming's eyes. He was a top student and very intelligent. In addition, this year, being with Lin Tingyue and seeing more of the upper class had given him a lot of experience and knowledge, making him even more perceptive.
He gave another bitter laugh, remained silent for a while, and then said in a hoarse voice, "It seems to be true."
Really? What do you mean, really?!
Ye Wenyu heard a "thump," as if something bad had happened. It seemed that Jiang Zhiming had also discovered the secret she had been hiding in her heart. Lin Tingyue and Cai Wenchuan did indeed have a past.
She remained silent.
It felt like I was soaking in Chinese medicine, the pain was unbearable. Couldn't I just wait for the wound to heal on my own? Why did I have to be dragged into it, forced to display my wounds?
She really didn't want to.
Because she really didn't know what to say to comfort Jiang Zhiming. Should they hug and cry? Haha, how could that be? She had clearly told Jiang Zhiming that they were both children from poor families, lying in a quagmire and unable to get up. Forcing two puddles of mud together would only turn them into an even bigger quagmire, so it was impossible for her to comfort Jiang Zhiming.
Since they couldn't comfort each other, they could only remain silent. She hoped that Jiang Zhiming could let go of the past and, like her, silently watch Cai Wenchuan's heart change.
After all, the Bible says that "love is like chasing the wind." A person's emotions change like flowing water, making them the most unpredictable thing.
Seeing that Ye Wenyu had been silent for a long time, Jiang Zhiming took the initiative to say to her, "Are you just going to let Cai Wenchuan go like this, without trying to fight for him?"
Ye Wenyu was somewhat annoyed and angry. She felt that Jiang Zhiming had changed, becoming someone she disliked. She raised her head, chin held high, and coldly said to him, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Zhiming sneered and asked her, "Cai Wenchuan has changed his mind. Are you just going to let him do that?"
Ye Wenyu put on a stern face and said arrogantly, "What's mine will always be mine, no matter how hard I try. What's not mine is useless no matter how hard I try. Jiang Zhiming, if you want to fight for it, go find Lin Tingyue. Why are you coming to me? Your behavior today is really unlike your usual self."
Jiang Zhiming blushed. He had been in a panic and had lost his way, which was why he had rushed to find Ye Wenyu.
He gazed at Ye Wenyu's rosy cheeks, thinking of how beautiful she was, yet how tragic her life was; it truly broke his heart. He stammered, "Wenyu, that's not what I meant. I was worried you'd get hurt—"
Worried that she might get hurt?
Ye Wenyu was stunned, a warm feeling washing over her. In this world, probably only Jiang Zhiming knew how deeply she had loved Cai Wenchuan and how hurt she was now, even though her pain was invisible and unseen by most people.
Adults must learn to remain calm and composed in the face of even the greatest hardships.
She lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Zhiming, but I won't get hurt. I'm tired and want to go back to sleep. Goodbye, and don't come looking for me again."
My heart has become a cocoon, and I may be trapped in it, but I just don't want anyone to know.
After she finished speaking, she dragged her heavy steps toward the gate of the girls' dormitory. The night was as deep as a coal mine, and the wind blowing on her felt like knives.
Looking at her retreating figure, Jiang Zhiming finally lost control and said to her, "There was a car accident."
Ye Wenyu continued walking forward with her head down.
Jiang Zhiming had no choice but to raise his voice and say, "Lin Tingyue was in a car accident and is currently in the hospital receiving emergency treatment!"
What? Ye Wenyu turned around, staring wide-eyed at Jiang Zhiming, her face filled with shock and disbelief. In her previous life, Lin Tingyue had never been in a car accident, so this news was completely unexpected for her.
Why did the car accident happen suddenly?
When Jiang Zhiming saw Ye Wenyu turn around, he said hoarsely to her, "I also suddenly heard the news and rushed to the hospital immediately. The police said that she was driving her sports car, speeding, and then answering a phone call—"
Ye Wenyu frowned. She had ridden in Lin Tingyue's car a few times, and Lin Tingyue wasn't driving; she was practically flying a plane! Now that she thought about it, a car accident was inevitable.
Jiang Zhiming's throat seemed to have suddenly developed a serious throat ailment. He said in a hoarse voice, "I rushed to the hospital as fast as I could. Wen Yu, although my heart—but in the past year or so, I've become much more realistic, so I still rushed there as quickly as possible. And guess what I saw when I rushed into the ward?" His words were hesitant and stammering, making people feel angry, yet also somewhat heartbroken.
Ye Wenyu mostly guessed what he wanted to say. Her pupils contracted, as if she were afraid of pain, and her body shrank back.
Jiang Zhiming said in a hoarse voice, "I saw Professor Cai holding her unconscious body and crying uncontrollably. I was stunned and thought I was seeing things. But I looked for a long time and I was sure I hadn't mistaken her for someone else. It wasn't until the hospital doctors and nurses rushed over to take Tingyue to the hospital for emergency treatment that they forcibly pulled Cai Wenchuan away and Lin Tingyue was pushed away. When I left, she still hadn't woken up."
Ye Wenyu understood, raised one eyebrow, looked at Jiang Zhiming with some anger, and said to him, "She's in emergency care, her life is in danger, and instead of staying outside the operating room, you came to find me. Is there something wrong with you?!"
Jiang Zhiming was stunned for a moment, then his face flushed red. Now that he thought about it, he realized that he had indeed done wrong, but at the time, he was too shocked and just wanted to find Ye Wenyu and tell her everything so that his inner pain would not be so intense.
It's as if if you spread your pain to others, your pain will be halved.
He was like a poor woman from ancient times who ate in one place and slept in another. He wanted to eat at the landlord's house and sleep at the house of his beloved. He had to force himself to be with Lin Tingyue because of reality, but his heart only belonged to Ye Wenyu. Therefore, when he found out that Lin Tingyue was not as he imagined, and that she loved him wholeheartedly, and was also entangled with Cai Wenchuan, he was shocked and pained, so he immediately came to Ye Wenyu for comfort.
