Chapter 1519 - 1007
Second watch.
------------------
"Sister Meili..." Chuxia looked at Zeng Meili speechless, "Even though you say you can let go, in fact, you’re always worrying about you and my brother’s issues, always thinking of the worst, aren’t you?"
"I can’t help but think of the worst..." Zeng Meili shrugged, "What your brother shows is rejection of this relationship, how can I not overthink?
Seeing it clearly is one thing, but after all, he is the person I like. If possible, I still hope there won’t be any changes between us. Feelings aren’t like a faucet, you can’t turn them on and off at will."
"I do know something, but it’s really not what you imagine. Right now, my brother probably hasn’t figured out how to tell you. Give him time. Trust me, he will definitely tell you personally.
As for me not saying anything, it’s not that I don’t trust Sister Meili, but I feel this kind of thing is better said by my brother himself. Besides, I promised him I wouldn’t tell anyone. Sister Meili, you don’t want me to break my promise, right?"
"Alright, if you won’t say it, then don’t say it..." Zeng Meili looked at her helplessly, "You’re really keeping people in suspense, start with a hint, and then a heap of explanation, sigh!"
"I’m just trying to calm you down because I see you’re anxious. Okay, I’ll reveal a bit more. My brother’s feelings for Sister Meili haven’t changed at all, he’s dealing with a mental hurdle.
Of course, this hurdle isn’t the issue of the doctor and nurse who were fired that was mentioned before, but it is related to feelings. As long as Sister Meili gives him enough confidence, you can definitely be together."
"The more you say, the more confused I get..." Zeng Meili rubbed her forehead, "Forget it, I won’t ask anymore. Since you said so, I’ll let things take their course."
Although she said this, Zeng Meili was always absent-minded in the following time. Even Chuxia felt helpless about it, thinking she could only call Jing Zhe that night, urging him to clarify things with Meili sooner.
Otherwise, with the current situation Zeng Meili is in, with worries both inside and out, it’s really uncertain whether she can learn anything at all.
...
The classroom for the detached class is located in the northwest corner, and seats are taken randomly. On the second day when she arrived at the classroom, Zeng Meili found that while only some classmates used to look at her strangely, now all of them were doing so.
There’s no need to ask. Everyone lives on campus, so certainly that classmate Wang Meiling must have badmouthed her. People with free time love to hear gossip, and then...
Sighing silently, Zeng Meili found an empty seat and sat down, and the girl next to her moved away forcefully, distancing herself.
Did they truly see her as a wild beast?
Zeng Meili was completely speechless.
That evening, she recounted the day’s situation to Chuxia, who was equally speechless: "Do these people have no brains? Just knowing someone for a short time, and they believe when someone gossips?"
"Believe it or not..." Zeng Meili sighed, "I originally wanted to revisit campus life and experience student life, but now it seems I was too naive. No matter where you are, there’s no escaping these messy things.
Chuxia, I truly envy you because Third Brother treats you so well. Whether people are convinced or not, nobody dares to bully you, but I’m different. Jing Zhe is considered a good match in many people’s eyes, so after being with him, the female colleagues can’t help but feel a bit bitter.
But it’s always me who seeks out Jing Zhe, he’s never actively sought me. When we’re together, I’m the one leading the conversation. If I don’t talk, he doesn’t make a sound.
In others’ eyes, it naturally looks like I’m trying to please him, cozying up to him, which naturally lowers the respect others have for me. Many times, I’ve wanted to let go, but ultimately, I can’t bring myself to."
"I believe what you told me yesterday, but I’ve also figured it out. If after he comes to terms with it, he still stays lukewarm with me, it would be better for me to let go, avoiding more heartache for everyone."
"Sister Meili, aren’t you being a bit partial? My brother’s personality is just like that. When have you seen him chit-chatting with others at the hospital?"
"If you put it that way, when has Third Brother ever chit-chatted with someone?" Zeng Meili shrugged, "So it’s not about personality, it’s fundamentally about whether there’s genuine affection."
Chuxia then said helplessly: "Okay, I won’t say much more. Anyway, since you’ve made up your mind, you’re not going to listen to whatever I say."
