"But I don't want you to interfere," Ji Qingzhou said softly, "Chu Cheng, I looked for An Yi instead of you because I don't want you to interfere. Do you understand? Please don't get involved in this matter, okay?"
"Go and rest first, dear, go to sleep."
“Chu Cheng…”
"Ji Qingzhou," Chu Cheng interrupted him, he sighed, and coaxed patiently, "I won't interfere, don't worry, I won't interfere, so you can go to sleep."
"Chu Cheng, listen to me," Ji Qingzhou said calmly, "I know the consequences I may face. First, Anyi takes action and reaches a settlement with Fang Yaoxuan. This matter is settled privately, which is the best result. Second, Fang Yaoxuan is unwilling to settle privately, and the incident is exposed. We go through legal procedures, and the court rules that I acted in self-defense, and I am fine. This result is not bad either. Third, I defended myself excessively, so I should have a criminal record and be sentenced. If I am convicted of intentional injury..." Ji Qingzhou paused, "This is the worst result, but I dare to do it, and I dare to bear the consequences. Chu Cheng, I know what I am doing, and I can accept the consequences that I am about to face."
"I know you're worried about me, but this is the only way I can go. From the day we separated, I left your protection and I became just an ordinary person. When I encounter problems, I will solve them if I can. If I can't solve them, I will ask my friends to solve them. Anyi is my friend, so I went to her. If I can solve it, that would be the best. If I can't, let me bear it myself. I don't want you to interfere. It's not that I don't remember what I promised you, but you have to let me move forward independently."
"I'm just an ordinary person. How many things can I encounter in my life? This may be the worst thing I have ever encountered in my life. If I can handle this incident by myself, then in the future, what else can I not face and solve by myself? I can't always rely on you to intervene and solve problems. You can't protect me forever, so don't worry about it and let it develop naturally. I have done what I can, and the rest is to wait for its development and results."
"Who doesn't encounter setbacks in their growth? Believe me, I won't encounter anything worse than this. If I can handle someone with a background like Fang Yaoxuan, then I have nothing to be afraid of in the future, and you don't have to worry about me all the time. I'm already moving forward independently, so don't worry about me, okay?"
Chu Cheng was speechless. Ever since he and Ji Qingzhou had been together, he had put himself in the role of Ji Qingzhou's protector. He was a few years older than Ji Qingzhou, had a higher social status than him, and had always been the dominant one in this relationship. He naturally felt that he should protect him. Even when Ji Qingzhou later moved out of his home, found a new house, and refused his care, he just thought that Ji Qingzhou was throwing a tantrum.
But now he knew that it was not.
They were two equal and independent people. Ji Qingzhou might have relied on him and was willing to accept his care, but from the moment they separated, he regained his independence. While he was still hesitating and struggling over whether he liked him or not, and whether he could promise him a long-term relationship, Ji Qingzhou had already let him go and walked forward independently and firmly.
He follows his own principles in doing things, works hard and actively seeks solutions, and is prepared to take on everything.
At that moment, Chu Cheng felt that Ji Qingzhou was much more decisive and stronger than himself.
In the end, Ji Qingzhou hung up the phone first. He looked at his phone, calm and silent. He reached out and touched the jade pendant in his pocket, holding the pendant tightly, and sat quietly on the bed.
Chu Cheng slowly put down the phone. He was a little stunned. Before calling, he was thinking that he would first criticize Ji Qingzhou severely and then solve this matter for him. This was not a big deal. Ji Qingzhou might not be able to settle it, but he could. But now, he didn't know whether he should intervene. Ji Qingzhou was really serious and trying hard to solve this matter by himself. He wanted to tell himself by solving this matter that he could live his life well without his protection.
He was so serious that Chu Cheng couldn't interfere against his will.
How long can a person's life be? Chu Cheng thought, seventy, eighty or ninety years old. Can the age of twenty-something really determine one's life?
He suddenly remembered something and called Shao Yong out of curiosity, asking, "Shao Yong, have you ever thought about staying with Jingjing forever? Staying with her for the rest of your life?"
Shao Yong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why think so much? Love is full of uncertainties every time."
"What if Jingjing wants to be with you forever?"
Shao Yong was stunned by his question. "That shouldn't be the case. Oh, don't make me think about these things. I get scared when I hear you say that. I haven't had enough fun yet. Life is so long, and I'm not in a hurry to settle down. Why should I think about these things?"
