Xing Su slapped his hand away and looked at Gu Nian seriously. "Answer my question properly."
Gu Nian picked up the chicken soup bowl again and said casually, "I did."
"Why didn't I know?" Xing Su was shocked. If it weren't for the wound on her neck, she would have jumped up!
Gu Nian said angrily, "I'm a normal man, okay? What's the big deal about liking a woman?"
Of course, Xing Su did not mean that. She asked Gu Nian excitedly, "Then tell me, how does it feel like to like someone?"
Gu Nian was stunned. "Why are you asking this? No, you've been with Zhou Chen for a few years. Don't you know what it feels like to like someone? Why are you asking me?"
Xing Su frowned. "My relationship with Zhou Chen can't be considered to be in a normal relationship. I only met him a few times in the international student circle. After being set up by everyone, we naturally got together. I don't know how I felt when I accepted his confession back then. I just felt that he was a good person and naturally got together, but I didn't feel my heart beating. I thought that this was a long-lasting love, but who knew…"
"That's is not called liking. That is you making it do." Gu Nian directly defined Xing Su's relationship and continued, "Back then, you had no relatives or friends overseas. You felt that Zhou Chen had given you comfort, so you mistook this emotional dependence for liking."
Perhaps it was really as Gu Nian had said… Xing Su had only recently realized that her feelings for Zhou Chen were not as deep as she had thought. Ever since Jiang Li came to cause trouble twice, Xing Su had been reflecting on herself. Did she really like him? She did not seem to like him too much. Although his betrayal made her sad, she was more unwilling to accept it. She was unwilling to be compared to someone who was inferior to her in all aspects. Perhaps she did not care about him, but her identity as a loser.
Xing Su suddenly came to a realization. What kind of "like" did she have for Brother Xiao Rui?
Gu Nian finished the last mouthful of chicken soup and asked Aunt Cui, "Is there anything more?"
Aunt Cui shook her head. "No. If you want to drink more, I'll make it for you next time when you go to the old chief's house."
Gu Nian was speechless. He refused on the spot and said, "It's really not worth it to risk your life for a bowl of chicken soup."
Aunt Cui couldn't help but laugh. "Look at what you're saying. The old chief's house isn't a tiger's den. Would the old chief eat you up?"
Gu Nian felt that it was really possible!
Aunt Cui took the empty bowl to wash it. Only then did Gu Nian react. He turned around and asked Xing Su, "What did you mean just now? Don't tell me you have someone you like?"
Xing Su felt guilty. "How is that possible? I haven't taken revenge yet. Even if there's someone I like, that person can only be Jiang Wenrui! After all, I still want to be the aunt of a scumbag and a mistress!"
Gu Nian said, "Stop talking nonsense!"
…
At night, Xing Su ate a little too much. Gu Nian played games at the side and yawned repeatedly. However, no matter how Aunt Cui asked him to go back and rest, he refused to go back.
Just as Xing Su's eyelids began to droop, a knock on the door attracted the attention of the people in the ward. Gu Nian looked up and saw a tall figure walk in. Moreover, this person's figure was very familiar!
When Jiang Xu heard that Xing Su had woken up, he did not delay for even half a minute. He came with a fruit plate and a bouquet of flowers. The door of the ward was opened by Aunt Cui. At first, Jiang Xu thought that he had entered the wrong room. Just as he was about to apologize, Gu Nian rushed out.
Gu Nian rushed forward and raised his fist to punch Jiang Xu. Fortunately, Aunt Cui was quick and stopped him.
Aunt Cui grabbed Gu Nian from behind. "Xiao Gu, don't cause trouble. If the old chief finds out, he'll teach you a lesson again."
Jiang Xu subconsciously picked up the flowers to cover his face. When he saw Gu Nian being held back by Aunt Cui, he heaved a sigh of relief. "Brother, that's not necessary, right? I'm just here to see my savior. You don't have to fight me, right?"
Gu Nian was furious. If Aunt Cui hadn't pulled him back, he would have rushed up and beaten Jiang Xu up. "Do you have any common sense? It was raining so heavily that day. If you hadn't risked your life, Xing Su wouldn't have been so seriously injured!"
"Gu Nian." Xing Su, who was in the ward, knew who came, so she stopped Gu Nian from going further.
Jiang Xu looked at the ward and smiled happily. "My savior, I'm here to see you."
