He accepted her kindness with a clear conscience.
Even when she suggested moving out, they persuaded her to stay.
perhaps.
Most people are selfish and have a dark side.
It's hard to refuse being liked and pampered by others.
It feels like I don't have to take any responsibility.
Even though you know it's unfair to the other person and might accidentally hurt them, you still brainwash yourself in order to get past your own conscience.
It is euphemistically called...
It was your own choice, it was your own wishful thinking, I didn't force you.
But not everyone is like that.
He suddenly remembered Song Lingshan. Back in college, many rich and powerful men were pursuing her.
There were many ways people tried to woo her, but Song Lingshan always scoffed at them and remained completely unmoved. When she was in a bad mood, she would even go up and teach them a lesson so that they would give up on her completely.
"Cough cough..."
Thinking of Song Lingshan, Su Luo suddenly choked on the cake, her face turned red, and she coughed violently.
Ye Xiaotian, who was standing to the side, immediately became nervous.
She handed him a tissue while gently patting his back, expressing her concern.
"How could you be so careless? You can even choke on a piece of cake."
Su Luo took the tissue and covered her mouth.
After a while, he stopped, picked up his water glass, tilted his head back, and began to drink.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xiaotian immediately stopped him.
"Hey? Why are you drinking ice water? Your health isn't good to begin with. Have you forgotten what I told you?"
Su Luo gulped down a large mouthful of ice water and obediently put down her glass.
His injury hasn't fully healed, and he has a bad stomach, so he really shouldn't be drinking ice water.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Lin Xiyue next to Ye Xiaotian looked strange and said awkwardly.
"You don't need to worry about me."
As she spoke, she gently nudged Ye Xiaotian's ankle with the tip of her shoe under the table, indicating that he shouldn't concern himself with her and should spend time with his girlfriend.
Ye Xiaotian hadn't thought about it that way at all, and when he heard Su Luo reject him, he became a little anxious.
"Can't I discipline you? You can talk, but why did you kick me?!"
Ye Xiaoman was enjoying her drinks with her friends and didn't notice Su Luo and Ye Xiaotian at all.
"..."
Su Luo was utterly speechless, defeated by Ye Xiaotian's slow reaction.
She quickly turned her head away, not wanting to talk to him anymore.
That's good now.
Lin Xiyue's face darkened even more. I mean, normal friends wouldn't care about this much, right?
And it happened in front of his girlfriend.
What is this kid thinking?
Ye Xiaotian was even more puzzled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? Am I wrong to tell you what to do?"
Su Luo couldn't stay any longer and got up to leave.
He knew Ye Xiaotian well; he was a chatterbox, and if he didn't leave quickly, he didn't know how long he would linger.
Lin Xiyue must be furious. What a wonderful girl she is; he doesn't want her to be angry.
Ye Xiaotian kept pressing him for more questions.
Where are you going? Do you want me to come with you?
Without turning her head, Su Luo gritted her teeth and said, "Go to the toilet. You stay here!"
How did this guy manage to snag such a great girl? His emotional intelligence is just unbelievable!
Ye Xiaotian waited until Su Luo was far away before slowly turning around. Seeing Lin Xiyue's gloomy face, he instantly understood why Su Luo had kicked him earlier.
Oh no, he actually showed concern and care for his sweetheart right in front of his girlfriend.
Cold sweat dripped down Ye Xiaotian's forehead. He swallowed hard and forced a smile.
"Honey, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Xiyue bit her lip, suppressing her anger, and said sourly.
"Why didn't you go to the bathroom with him? Aren't you best buddies?"
Best brother?
Ye Xiaotian suddenly grasped the key point: "That's right."
Lin Xiyue was unaware that she had feelings for Su Luo. She only thought that Su Luo was her good buddy, so she didn't need to be afraid and just wanted to know what was wrong with her buddy.
It's not a big problem; it can be resolved.
He reached out and pinched Lin Xiyue's cheek, smiling broadly.
"Don't be angry. He's really not in good health. Didn't I tell you? It's only right that I take care of him."
Lin Xiyue forced a smile, saying something she didn't mean.
"Yes, that's right, I'm not angry."
No matter how angry she was, she couldn't take it out on Ye Xiaotian now. After all, it was his sister's birthday, and she had to give Ye Xiaotian face.
She was going to ask Ye Xiaotian what was going on between him and Su Luo when she went out later.
It's definitely not just about brothers.
Putting aside Ye Xiaotian's strangeness, Su Luo was so nervous that she handed him a tissue and patted his back just because he choked a little.
That Su Luo was also acting strangely; he was able to keenly sense her emotions and even kicked Ye Xiaotian under the table.
It's obvious that both of them have something to hide.
Even if Ye Xiaotian was stupid, he could tell that Lin Xiyue was holding back. The smile on her face was obviously forced. She wasn't getting angry with him because her sister was still there.
Since that's the case, he didn't continue.
He started talking about things that Lin Xiyue was interested in, trying to make her forget the unpleasantness from earlier.
Lin Xiyue also cooperated by saving her earlier displeasure and changing the subject with Ye Xiaotian.
Su Luo in the bathroom.
He stood by the window and started smoking.
I want to stay a little longer and don't want to go back anytime soon.
He couldn't drink, so he could only watch Ye Xiaoman drink with others. Sitting next to Ye Xiaotian and Lin Xiyue, he felt like a third wheel.
Moreover, he was a terrible third wheel, which made Lin Xiyue angry.
They started smoking one cigarette after another.
It was completely dark by now.
Su Luo looked up at the night sky outside the window. The sky was full of stars, and the moon was round and big, very beautiful.
A sentence suddenly popped into my head uncontrollably.
"Look, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
Su Luo's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.
Nami said this to him, and more than once.
We said it when we first met before we were officially in a relationship, and we said it again after we started dating. We even watched the moon together when we lived in Tokyo.
My chest suddenly felt very tight and heavy, and my heart started to ache slightly.
Su Luo took a deep drag of his cigarette, but choked on the smoke and started coughing again.
My eyes welled up with tears from coughing.
All the beautiful and painful memories of Nami from the past flooded into my mind like a tidal wave.
There's no way to avoid it.
Su Luo raised her hand to rub her sore eyes, and a strange yet familiar feeling of nausea washed over her again.
Damn it.
His conditioned reflex still hasn't improved; even thinking about her makes him feel nauseous.
Su Luo tried to suppress the memories of her, but couldn't control them at all.
I miss her so much!
I want to, I want to, I want to.
I wonder how she's doing in Tokyo?
He dared not inquire about any news about her, fearing that he would be unable to resist flying to Tokyo to secretly see her, yet also fearing that she would discover him and disturb her life.
The more I think about it, the more upset I get, and the more I feel like vomiting.
Su Luo finally couldn't hold it in any longer, rushed into the stall, and bent over to vomit into the toilet.
I vomited for a while until all the food in my stomach was gone.
It finally stopped.
