Nanzhi threw the money in front of him and turned to leave.
As Song You watched the money spill out, his heart felt as if it had shattered along with it.
Is he selfish?
He recalled what he had done.
Did he do something wrong?
Xu Min went back to see A Yuan.
Ah-Yuan has woken up.
She looked much more energetic.
Xu Min was feeding her porridge when he heard her say, "Brother, it seems like my sister came when I was asleep."
Xu Min's eyelashes fluttered, and he gave a soft "hmm".
Did you two have a fight?
Xu Qingyuan tilted her head and looked at him.
"No……"
“But it looks like my sister is crying,” Xu Qingyuan said unhappily. “I can feel tears falling on my face. My sister must be very sad.”
Xu Min remained silent.
He gripped the porcelain bowl tighter and tighter, almost deforming it.
"Brother, did you bully sister?"
Although Xu Min did not tell Xu Qingyuan that he had been with Nan Zhi.
But Xu Qingyuan was just naive, not foolish.
Her brother's affection for his sister was impossible to hide.
"Yes," Xu Min said with difficulty, "My brother is bad; he made your sister sad."
"Then brother should go and apologize to sister."
"good."
He will apologize to her, but not now.
He didn't want her to see him in such a disheveled state again.
Xu Min did not sell his blood again.
Remembering what Nan Zhi had said, he decided to start over.
During Xu Qingyuan's hospitalization, he took care of her during the day and went to move goods at night.
He had been moving goods for an unknown amount of time, but because of his hard work and perseverance, he was noticed by the boss and became a supervisor, earning twice as much money as the manual laborers.
Later, during a construction inspection, the boss came to check on the work. A wooden plank was loose and almost hit the boss. He rushed over and blocked it for the boss.
His shoulder was bleeding profusely from the nails on the wooden plank.
The boss was so moved that he decided to take him into the steel business.
Because of past mistakes, he is always very cautious when cooperating with other bosses.
Anyone who dares to betray him will suffer a terrible fate later on.
In just four or five years, he made a lot of money, which not only allowed Xu Qingyuan to stay in the best ward and take the best and most expensive medicine, but also enabled him to repay Song You.
Song You also took the college entrance exam, but not to the same school as Nan Zhi. Instead, he went to a teachers' college not far from her.
Medicine is a six-year university program, while teacher training is a four-year program.
Song You has now been out of school for over a year and has stayed on as a university professor.
Song You was holding a book, exuding a distinct scholarly air.
"I told you you don't need to pay me back."
"I don't want to owe you anything."
Xu Min stuffed the money into his hand and turned to leave.
Song You was silent for a while, then called out to him from behind.
“Xu Min, actually, Nan Zhi returned the money to me five years ago.”
Xu Min stopped in his tracks.
"My engagement with her has also been dissolved."
Xu Min glanced back at him; Song You's eyes were much more open than they had been two years ago.
He bowed to Xu Min.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault that you two broke up."
Xu Min didn't speak. He looked away and continued walking forward.
Song You watched his retreating figure and sighed softly.
Nanzhi is right.
He is indeed selfish.
He later went to see Nanzhi, but she never saw him again.
It was only after years of reflection that he realized how terribly wrong he had been.
But some things can never be the same again.
...
Xu Min did not rush back after leaving.
He circled around the medical university several times.
He had been here many times, so he was very familiar with the place.
He lit a cigarette and stood silently smoking under a large tree not far from the school gate.
Soon, several cigarette butts appeared at his feet.
He only started smoking in the last few years.
Originally, it was for work-related social obligations, but later, whenever he was in a bad mood, he would smoke a few cigarettes.
However, he never smoked when he came here before.
Perhaps it was because of what Song You said today.
He never expected that she would help him pay off his debts and also break off the engagement.
He hurt her so much, she must hate him.
Otherwise, why would she never come to see him even once...?
He smoked one cigarette after another, never seeming to finish them.
Only when he saw a familiar figure at the school gate did he quickly stub out his cigarette, hide behind a tree, and greedily peer towards the gate.
The girl had grown taller and prettier, wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, with long, straight legs.
She walked out of the school gate with several students from the same major, chatting and laughing.
One of the men suddenly asked her, half-jokingly, "Nanzhi, do you have a boyfriend?"
Nanzhi smiled and said, "Yes."
The boy's eyes clearly showed some disappointment.
But he wasn't the only one who felt disappointed.
Watching Nanzhi and the others gradually disappear from sight.
Xu Min's eyes were deep and dark.
Does she have a boyfriend?
It's not that she hadn't considered the possibility that she might fall in love with someone else and be with someone else.
But now, upon hearing it, he found his heart aching more than he had imagined, as if it were being ripped apart by a hand, the pain almost suffocating him.
He originally wanted to wait until he succeeded before apologizing to her, but now he couldn't wait any longer.
The phone rang in my pocket.
He took it; it belonged to one of his underlings who was fairly obedient but somewhat promiscuous.
Everyone jokingly calls him Er Gou (Second Dog).
Er Gou asked him about some matters related to signing a contract with a certain company.
