Chapter 103: Treating Others with Yourself
Oak looked at him, waiting for his answer.
But Zhu Xiuyu didn't say anything.
She couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, I won't listen. Now please get out of the way, I'm going out. β
Zhu Xiuyu didn't get out of the way, and stopped quietly at the door, his eyes dark and gloomy.
Oak and he were at a stalemate for a while, and the anger slowly subsided in this moment of silence.
She finally said helplessly: "Come here, help you with the medicine." β
Then he turned around and went back into the house.
Zhu Xiuyu was stunned, but he didn't expect Mai Li to compromise.
Like a large dog with drooping ears, he wagged his tail flatteringly.
Oak asked, "Where is the first aid kit?" β
Zhu Xiuyu immediately said vigilantly: "In the second drawer of the bedside table in the room, you go and get it." β
Mai Li glanced at him, knowing that he was worried that he was trying to make a noise, so he was angry, and simply got up and went into the bedroom.
Zhu Xiuyu followed.
Mai Li took the first aid kit, and as soon as he turned around, he hit his broad chest.
Oak: "......"
Zhu Xiuyu was like a wronged child at the moment, and said, "Don't go." β
Mai Oak ignored him, opened the medicine box, searched around, and finally took out a bottle of hydrogen peroxide.
"Do it yourself." She handed the swab over as well.
Zhu Xiuyu said: "I can't see it myself. β
"Then look in the mirror." β
Zhu Xiuyu said: "Don't use the mirror, lend me your eyes." Come, you look at me, I look into your eyes. β
Oak: "......"
Then Zhu Xiuyu really didn't use the mirror, and took a cotton swab and scribbled it all over his neck, but he accidentally poked the wound, and the cold sweat on his forehead came down instantly.
Mai Li suddenly felt that it was a relief.
"It hurts you." She gloated.
Zhu Xiuyu had already found the right place, took a cotton swab and applied it to the wound, and he frowned in pain.
"If I'm really dead, you'll be widowed."
Mai Li snorted, "I haven't married you yet." β
Zhu Xiuyu said: "Let's go get the certificate tomorrow, and when I die, the property will be yours." β
Mai Li sneered, "Isn't your net worth and life already in my hands?" β
Zhu Xiuyu: "......"
Mai Li put the things away, closed the medicine box, looked at him seriously and said, "Let's talk." β
Zhu Xiuyu's heart jumped for no reason.
"What are you talking about?"
Mai Li is a person who can't hide his thoughts, and now he has a pimple in his heart, so he wants to spread everything out and say, "We are all adults, we can't do whatever we want like children who are awkward, at the very least, we must respect each other." β
Zhu Xiuyu couldn't see her so serious, and she felt a little bottomless, so she smiled and said, "Baby, don't be so serious, I like to see you laugh." β
Mai Li said: "Do you know that I am annoyed with your unserious expression now? β
Zhu Xiuyu couldn't laugh anymore.
Mai Li put the first aid kit aside, and said with a serious expression that Zhu Xiuyu didn't want to see: "I won't break up with you because you pretend to be poor, but it's impossible not to take it seriously, I just feel that you lied to me now, I feel uncomfortable, I want to dry you." It's as simple as that, so don't make a fuss and feel irreparable. β
These words surprised Zhu Xiuyu a little.
None of his usual girlfriends are like Mai Li, who can analyze the causes and consequences in a straightforward manner when she is angry.
Even Qin Lili is unreasonable when she starts her temper.
So from another point of view, Oak is actually not so angry.
"So what am I going to do?" He asked with a flattering smile.
Mai Li looked at him indifferently, "You don't have to do anything, just give me respect and space, thank you." β
At the end of the day, it's still about going out.
Zhu Xiuyu just didn't want her to go to Qin Lili.
He is a thief with a weak heart.
He was too scared that Oak would know the truth.
"Baby, I've said it before, I'll give you whatever you want." He didn't stop him, because it was too suspicious to continue to keep her out.
Mai Oak's face softened slightly.
"I want your sincerity." When she finished, she left.
Zhu Xiuyu raised his hand and wiped his face, his whole body seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he collapsed into the sofa.
In a moment, he picked up his phone and dialed the number he knew by heart.
"Ah Yu, when did you come back, why didn't you tell me?" Qin Lili's voice was as soft and quiet as ever.
Zhu Xiuyu seemed to be able to imagine her sitting leisurely on a pillow with an open book on her lap, possibly "The Moon and Sixpence" or "Snow Country".
He closed his eyes, and didn't say the question for the first time, but subconsciously asked, "How is your body lately?" β
Loving her and being good to her has become inertia, engraved in the bones, even if the heart is dead, the habit is still there.
Qin Lili said lightly: "It's not the same as before, it's easy to wheezing and coughing when the weather is cold, this year's winter is fine, it's not as cold as last year." Otherwise, he might have been sick by now. β
Zhu Xiuyu's heart tightened, remembering that every time Qin Lili fell ill, she was almost wandering in front of the ghost gate, and she was on the line between life and death.
"You obediently listen to the doctor's words and pay attention to keeping warm."
The other head was silent for a moment, and did not speak.
Zhu Xiuyu pinched his mobile phone and thought about what to say about Mai Li in his heart.
"Ah Yu, are you angry with me?" In the end, it was Qin Lili who opened her mouth first.
Zhu Xiuyu was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "What are you angry about?" β
"Wheat does my care, you know?" Qin Lili simply got straight to the point.
Zhu Xiuyu's expression changed slightly, and his throat instantly tightened a little.
"Why did she go to your caregiving?" After he finished asking, he immediately had a flash of inspiration, "Peng Peng? β
Qin Lili didn't intend to hide it, and said softly: "That was before you and her knew each other, I wanted to see with my own eyes what kind of girl she was, so I asked Peng Peng to tell her about me." β
Zhu Xiuyu knew that her words were not finished, so he waited patiently for her to continue.
"She didn't come at the time, so I thought she wouldn't come, but I was surprised when I suddenly received a call from Peng Peng two weeks ago, saying that she was planning to come."
Qin Lili was really surprised at the time, she didn't understand why Mai Li suddenly changed her mind and wanted to take care of her, she didn't come when she liked Ji Feng before, but now she has a relationship with Zhu Xiuyu, but she is coming?
If you really put Ji Feng down completely, why would you still be interested in her as Ji Feng's fiancΓ©e?
Qin Lili couldn't guess her thoughts, but since she was willing to come, let her come.
So she ignored Peng Peng's dissuasion and insisted on hiring Mak Oak.
After Peng Peng learned of her decision, he reminded worriedly, "Mai is very good with Zhu Shao now, she is no longer a threat to you, you promise me, don't embarrass her, okay?" β
Qin Lili couldn't understand why Peng Peng would say such a thing.
"Am I in your eyes that I have become an indiscriminate, jealous and jealous careful-eyed girl?"
Pumbaa didn't answer, because she did.
The current Qin Lili is like the Qin Lili she knew at the beginning.
Or, she has never seen the real Qin Lili clearly.
"Don't worry, I'm just curious what she's up for. Please understand that she is coming, not me asking her to come. Qin Lili knew that she had lost Peng Peng's trust little by little, but it didn't matter, people who didn't understand her never understood her, and she didn't have to feel sad about it.
Peng Peng had no choice but to say: "Anyway, you can do it yourself." β
For a sensitive and suspicious person like Qin Lili, it may be difficult to believe that someone is really doing something that may make them unpleasant out of kindness.
Peng Peng didn't know if Mai Li really let go of Ji Feng, but he knew very well that Mai Li really wanted to take good care of Qin Lili.
Peng Peng didn't know that his reminder had aroused more suspicion from Qin Lili.
Why are those people who were originally oriented towards her, but after getting along with Mai Oak, they have become different.
Ji Feng is like this, Peng Peng is like this, even Zhu Xiuyu, who swore to love her only one person in his life, also went to Mai Li's side.
She really wanted to know what was so attractive about this girl.
They all changed.
Zhu Xiuyu sighed, now is not the time to be held responsible, the matter has come to this point, and the only way to accept it is to accept it.
"Lily, don't be hard for her."
It was in a tone of sincerity and pleading.
He didn't know that when he said this, Qin Lili grabbed the placket of his clothes suddenly.
She heard the same thing again from a different person.
It doesn't matter if Peng Peng doesn't understand her, they haven't known each other for a long time after all.
But Zhu Xiuyu is different.
He had loved her for so long, but like everyone else, he saw her as a vicious witch.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to her, I'm a patient who will die at any time, how can I embarrass her?"
Her voice was hoarse and bitter, powerless to the extreme.
Zhu Xiuyu only felt that his heart was grabbed by an invisible hand, and he couldn't breathe in pain.
His words broke her heart.
"That's not what I meant, Lily......"
"She's your girlfriend now, and you nervous about her, I can understand that." Qin Lili interrupted him.
She always owes Zhu Xiuyu a debt.
No one is nice to another person for no reason, and all the effort is to be reciprocated.
Zhu Xiuyu always thought that sincerity was open, but he didn't know that a woman with a heart would not be moved by other men at all.
She sincerely hopes that Xiuyu can meet his true daughter one day and form a good relationship.
I just never thought it would be like this.
"Ah Yu, don't you want to know why she insists on being my caretaker so much? If she had let go of her attachment to Ji Feng, she shouldn't have done such superfluous things anymore. I'm Ji Feng's fiancΓ©e, she knows it, but she still wants to come, aren't you curious why? β
Qin Lili's every question hit Zhu Xiuyu's heart.
Yes, why?
Why do you want to involve people related to Ji Feng?
If you don't love, shouldn't you leave the relationship clean?
"I don't know." Zhu Xiuyu smiled bitterly, "She's angry with me now." In the morning, I arranged for her to have dinner with my parents, and she was very unhappy to know that Taian Group was my family business. β
Qin Lili was silent, she didn't know how to comfort him.
Because she was on his side, she didn't feel that there was anything to be angry about hiding her family background.
Shouldn't it be a surprise?
suddenly found that his boyfriend was not only beautiful, but also rich, and lived a worry-free life from now on, less than 20 years of struggle, no longer worrying about firewood, rice, oil and salt, and only living the life he wanted.
It's too late to be happy, right?
"Lily, there's one more thing, you must promise me." Zhu Xiuyu's tone was earnest.
"You say." She had already guessed it.
Zhu Xiuyu said: "Don't let her find out about the matter between me and you." β
Qin Lili smiled silently, feeling that his request was a bit excessive.
"I naturally don't want her to know, if she doesn't love you anymore, maybe she will go back to Ji Feng again, and it will be troublesome."
Zhu Xiuyu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her to say this.
"Lily, don't you still believe she's put it down?"
Qin Lili squeezed her phone tightly and asked lightly, "Do you believe it?" β
Zhu Xiuyu was silent for a moment, and finally said affirmatively: "Yes, I believe it." β
