The bleak light shone coldly on the hospital corridor. Three girls in the uniform of Nan Ying Middle School stood at the door of the ward like three frozen statues.
Their faces were filled with curiosity and inquiry, and their eyes were faintly flickering with anxiety, as if a silent war was about to break out in this quiet corridor.
Luo Ling's brows were twisted into a knot, her eyes full of displeasure, and she stared fiercely at the two people in front of her, that gaze seemed to be able to burn people.
"Why are you here?" Her voice was cold, with a barely perceptible tremor, breaking the originally quiet atmosphere.
Qin Xiang was slightly stunned, and pointed his finger at himself subconsciously, with a slightly innocent expression on his face.
"I..." She paused, her voice soft but firm, "Grandpa Zhou asked me to bring chicken soup to Brother Youchen."
"Do you know Grandpa Zhou?" Luo Ling's gaze was as sharp as a knife.
There was always a faint smile on Qin Xiang's lips, and that smile was gentle but revealed an indescribable confidence.
"I live in Zhou's house. Grandpa Zhou said that we can get married after brother Youchen has established his career."
Her voice was not loud, but it was like a heavy bomb, exploding in the air.
"Hmph..." Luo Ling sneered disdainfully, her laughter full of ridicule. "What era is it now? Parents are still the ones making the decision... Brother Youchen will not marry a woman he doesn't like." Her words were full of obvious hostility, as if she was defending something.
Qin Xiang gently held the thermos in her hand in her arms, as if she was holding her whole world, "There are always more opportunities when you are close to the water."
These words were like a sharp blade, piercing Luo Ling's vitals.
Xu 꼋 didn't see Zhou Youchen, and her face suddenly turned red with anger, her eyes burning with flames of anger, but she had nowhere to vent.
She turned her head sharply and looked at the person on the other side, her voice trembling with excitement: "You... why are you here too?"
Li Xiangyun had been sitting quietly, but after hearing this, he slowly raised his head and looked at Luo Ling calmly.
"Like you, I like Zhou Youchen."
Her voice was very calm, but within this calmness was a power that should not be underestimated.
"You..." Luo Ling's face turned red instantly. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
Even Qin Xiang, who was standing by, couldn't help but turn her head and look at Li Xiangyun, with a hint of surprise and curiosity in her eyes.
For a moment, the corridor fell into deathly silence, except for the rapid breathing of three people, which seemed to tell the fierceness of this silent war.
Su Jinyu looked at the scene in front of him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
She happened to have met these three people who admired Zhou Youchen, as well as a familiar "friend".
She had seen the first two getting along with Zhou Youchen, but...what about Li Xiangyun?
For sure, these three people might be the suitors of one of them.
Catching up with Zhou Youchen is a long and arduous journey!
She sighed. Since she was here, she had to get things clear.
As he approached, three women looked over at the same time.
Li Xiangyun stood up and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Su Jinyu pointed to the ward and explained her purpose in a serious manner, "I want to ask a question... The case that Zhou Youchen is in charge of has something to do with me."
"Is it because Brother Youchen was a policeman and was retaliated against?" Qin Xiang looked worried.
Li Xiangyun curled his lips and said, "Nothing good will happen if you are involved... Zhou Youchen is still checking, just wait..."
"oh……"
Su Jinyu walked to her side and stood against the wall.
Li Xiangyun moved aside in disgust.
After a while, he turned around and asked softly, "What's going on between you and Shen Jingan?"
"Curious?" Su Jinyu said with a smile, "The news in the tabloids is not enough for you to gossip about."
"I don't believe what's in the newspaper..."
"Then you believe me?"
"You... don't have the final say!"
"What's going on between you and Zhou Youchen?" Su Jinyu asked back.
Li Xiangyun blushed, which was rare for her. "Just... did you hear it?"
"Don't you like tough guys?"
"Who... who said that?"
"When we were little, you pointed at Zhang Fei's portrait and said that you wanted to marry Zhang Fei when you grew up... He looked very impressive," Su Jinyu recalled, looking up. "At that time, you always complained that Lu Feng was not pretty and said he was effeminate... Zhou Youchen was much better looking than Lu Feng, and his reputation..."
"Why are you talking about our childhood!" Li Xiangyun turned her head away, obviously not wanting to talk about the dark history. She said angrily, "He is different from the rumors... I didn't marry him because he is good-looking... I am not that superficial!! He is an honest and kind person, better than the men around me!"
Su Jinyu knew that the 'he' Li Xiangyun was talking about was Zhou Youchen.
The rumored Zhou Youchen is a playboy who lingers among the flowers, but the Zhou Youchen they know is obviously not such a person.
Li Xiangyun turned around with a red face, "Are you really here for this case?"
Su Jinyu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and deliberately dragged out the tone, "Otherwise..." The tail tone lingered in the air, "I am the same as you guys... Why do I want to take a look at Zhou Youchen?"
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Xiangyun, with a gleam of mischief in her eyes.
When Li Xiangyun heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "You are not someone who is obsessed with beauty."
His tone was full of understanding of Su Jinyu, as if her thoughts were seen through at a glance.
"Well... not necessarily." Su Jinyu pursed her lips lightly, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes, "It depends on whether the beauty is beautiful enough."
She tilted her head and looked at Li Xiangyun with a half-smile, as if he was deliberately teasing her.
"You..." Li Xiangyun widened his eyes, as if he was shocked by Su Jinyu's words, and then immediately reacted and reminded, "You are married."
There was a hint of disbelief and anxiety in his voice.
Su Jinyu suddenly opened her mouth and laughed heartily, the laughter echoing in the corridor. "You just gossiped about me, Shen Jingan... You are trying to get a divorce for the sake of beauty."
She said this half-jokingly, but the expression on her face was hard to read.
"Is it true?" Li Xiangyun's eyes suddenly widened, full of curiosity and surprise. He stared at Su Jinyu, trying to find the answer from her face.
"Guess?" Su Jinyu blinked, keeping the question in suspense, and her smile became more mysterious.
Li Xiangyun looked at her steadily, with a hint of helplessness on his face, and sneered softly, "You are not that kind of person...", his tone full of trust in Su Jinyu.
"You understand me very well." Su Jinyu put her arm around Li Xiangyun's shoulders and said affectionately, "My dear friend, you believe in my character so much."
There was a hint of teasing in her eyes, yet there was also a hint of sincerity.
Li Xiangyun slapped his hand on his shoulder in disdain and said, "How can you and I be close friends? I don't believe you would destroy the marriage between the two families for a man. You are a very ambitious person, and you don't care about love at all."
She pouted, and although she didn't admit the title of best friend, her understanding of Su Jinyu was revealed.
