Dongfang Yu felt an inexplicable unease, âYou should go to the hospital for a check-up.â
âItâs alright, just a minor cold.â Chai Xiyang nonchalantly remarked.
Dongfang Yu was about to persuade him further when he suddenly saw Lin Xinxin emerging from the pharmacy carrying some medicine.
Hai Xiaotang also noticed her.
Upon spotting them, Lin Xinxin paused briefly before approaching as if nothing had happened, she nodded towards them as a form of greeting.
Hai Xiaotang used to greatly dislike her, but for some reason, seeing her at this moment, she no longer harbored any hatred.
The way she was looking at Lin Xinxin, it was filled with unfamiliarity, as though she was looking at a total stranger.
However, Dongfang Yuâs eyes darkened abruptly.
âBrother Yu, you guys can go ahead with your work. Weâll be leaving now.â Chai Xiyang knew they disliked Lin Xinxin, so he ended the conversation and waved goodbye.
Lin Xinxin got in the car with him and they quickly drove off.
Yet, Dongfang Yu kept his gaze fixed on their departing vehicleâ¦
Hai Xiaotang gave a deliberate huff, âThe person has already left, what are you still looking at?â
Dongfang Yu came back to reality, chuckled softly, âAre you jealous?â
âImpossible!â Hai Xiaotang scoffed defiantly.
Dongfang Yu teased by pinching her cheek, âIf youâre jealous, just admit it.â
Hai Xiaotang slapped his hand away, grumbling, âI am not jealous. Besides, you donât even like her! What were you thinking about just now?â
âNothing much, I just felt strange seeing the two of them together.â
âAre you surprised they ended up together? Chai Xiyang likes Lin Xinxin right, Lin Xinxin gave up hope on you so itâs only right she ended up with him.â
Dongfang Yu said, âI donât think theyâre together, based on their demeanor, it seemed like they havenât taken the final step.â
âSo why do you find it strange?â
âI donât know, I just feel strangeâ¦â as if he had overlooked something important.
Hai Xiaotang sighed, âItâs indeed strange for Chai Xiyang to like Lin Xinxin. Lin Xinxin is not a good person at all, why would he like her? Qiao Ning is so wonderful, yet he treats Qiao Ning with such indifference. Seriously, I donât understand how men think.â
Dongfang Yu glared, âWhat do you mean âyou menâ? Iâve long since mended my ways, thoroughly reformed and repented!â
Hai Xiaotang laughed, âYouâre right, youâre not like other men anymore, my apologies for misspeaking. Honey, I was wrong, donât stoop to my level.â
âSilly.â Dongfang Yu fondly tousled her hair, then explained, âChai Xiyang is actually a good person, not like what you think. The grievances between him and Qiao Ning run deep.â
âI know; I understand. But heâs still too heartless towards Qiao Ning. Sheâs in trouble now and he doesnât care at all. They used to be together and he used to like Qiao Ning so much; this change is too drastic.â
âWho said he didnât care? As soon as Qiao Ning had a problem, he went straight to the Zhang family.â
Hai Xiaotang froze.
So Chai Xiyang had rushed off to the police station that day, left quickly and went to find the Zhang family?
At that time, she thought he had left in such haste because he didnât want to deal with Qiao Ningâs affairsâ¦
âCould it be that he still has feelings for Qiao Ningâ¦â
Dongfang Yu shook his head, âNot necessarily still in love, but heâs definitely a good person. Anyway, we canât understand their situation, so you shouldnât worry about it.â
âIâm not worrying, I just hope nothing happens to Qiao Ning.â
However, he didnât want her to worry about Qiao Ning, wanting all her attention on him instead.
