If you like it, why should you torture each other?

Jiang Xiaoqi sat on the sofa, she came to deliver medicine to Zhong Yu, but did not expect Zhong Yu to bring someone back. She hung her head slightly, in her heart there is a kind of speechless feeling flowing, astringent.

Zhong Yu from the room out, “Xiaoqi, help me go buy some medicine.”

“Are you sick?” She asked slightly nervous.

Zhong Yu’s thin lips were relaxed, “Buy some fever-reducing medicine.”

“You have a fever?” Jiang Xiaoqi violently forward to pull his hand, “No ah, the temperature is normal.” Said and touched his forehead, cold hand touch, Zhong Yu face slightly palpitating, and not the slightest aversion.

Jiang Xiaoqi frowned, “No, I’ll let grandpa come over to take a look.”

Zhong Yu looked at her that way, his cold brows unconsciously loosened, “I’m fine, she has some fever.” His voice was still cold.

Jiang Xiaoqi was stunned for a full five or six seconds before she reacted to who the “she” in his mouth was, she awkwardly clenched her hands and stammered for half a day without uttering a word.

When she arrived downstairs, Jiang Xiaoqi finally reacted to the fact that she had eaten Zhong Yu’s tofu, but the feeling was not bad, she pulled the corner of her mouth naively.

Jane Mo curled up on the big bed, the tip of her nose filled with the sweet scent of laundry detergent, her cerebral nerves twitching and throbbing with pain, she closed her eyes, the corners of her eyes were stained with water, and she finally slowly fell asleep.

When she woke up, she opened her eyes and the room was dark without a single light. She slowly sat up, her hands covering her head. Her mind involuntarily replayed the past in this room. They had had a very happy past here in the beginning, maybe those were false, but she still remembered them.

She sniffled, her ten fingers gripping the sheets tightly. Her body suddenly trembled when her cell phone suddenly rang, then she followed the sound to find her phone, seeing the name bouncing on the screen, she frowned, her fingertips trembling slightly as she answered the call.

“Where are you?” Ning Qingyuan’s voice came over.

Jian Mo took a deep breath and tried to relax her tone as much as possible, “I’m outside, I might be a little late getting back.”

Silence fell on that end. After an instant, his faint voice came, “Come back earlier.”

Hanging up the phone, Jian Mo held the phone, her eyes in a trance. She realized that she was really in a dilemma now, Ning Qingyuan was kind to her, she owed him too much, she simply couldn’t possibly watch him spend this generation in the dark. But being in such a deadlock with Zhong Yu, they would only torture each other like this now.

“Regret?” Suddenly his voice came out of thin air. Jian Mo jerked her head up, she looked to her right and could only see a blurry sort of cold silhouette. She couldn’t utter a word for a moment. She leaned back wearily, her eyes growing cooler in the darkness.

“Zhong Yu, let’s just say we’re even, okay?” She swallowed her throat, “You’ve lied to me, I-I know I feel sorry for you too. Let’s just call it even, okay?”

She let out a soft sigh of relief, “I’m a selfish person, look, I’m not even a little bit sad that my dad is locked up. I-” she paused slightly, “We’re just not right for each other. I liked you once, but only in high school.”

“You, on the other hand, may not have liked me.” She quirked the corner of her mouth slightly, “You’ve never failed, by and large, to load up on me once. Men have always loved conquest, and I failed to fulfill your initial plan.” She looked at him steadily, her mind unusually clear.

“So what–” Chung Yu leaned over and turned on the light. The soft light warmly illuminated every corner of the room as he locked his eyes on her face, knowing he had pushed her to the limit.

“You have to let Old Mr. Jiang treat Qingyuan’s eyes first!” This was what she had to return to Ning Qingyuan. She turned her face slyly, and when she saw the box of medicine on the bedside table again, the light in her eyes was suddenly obscure.

“It’s all up to you, whatever you want.” She got up and walked over to the closet. Opening the closet, it was surprising that all the clothes he had once bought her were still there, only everything seemed so harsh. She took a random one and changed into it.

She had to go back, no matter what kind of relationship they had now, she couldn’t live here until Ning Qingyuan’s eyes got better.

Zhong Yu was silent for a moment. When she changed and walked to the door, she suddenly heard his voice, “You’ll go with him tomorrow.”

Jane Mo’s footsteps are certain, she understands what he means, “Okay.”

When Jane Mo came out, the living room was filled with a strong smell of herbs. Jiang Xiaoqi was playing with the computer, she heard the sound and raised her head to look at her, “You’re awake?”

Jane Mo didn’t know what to say, just answered softly.

Jiang Xiaoqi hooked the corner of her mouth, “I’ve seen your daughter’s picture.”

Jian Mo’s eyebrows moved slightly.

“That one really felt bad for making you stand for so long yesterday.” Jiang Xiaoqi said seriously, now that she thought about it, Zhong Yu did it on purpose.

“It’s fine.” Jian Mo said faintly.

“Are you going back?” Jiang Xiaoqi asked.

Jian Mo nodded.

“What happened to that friend of yours?”

“A tumor grew in his brain and was operated on, now he can’t see anything.” Jane Mo said calmly.

Jiang Xiaoqi nodded thoughtfully, there was a sudden smell of paste in the air, she stood up violently and ran to the kitchen, not a moment later Jane Mo heard a banging sound, she sighed softly and walked out the door.

When Jiang Xiaoqi came out, Jane Mo was long gone, Zhong Yu was there. “She’s gone.”

Zhong Yu did not say.

“Zhong Yu, you love her, right?” She said tentatively, looking at his still impassive expression, muttering to herself, “If you didn’t have her in your heart, you wouldn’t have let me go buy medicine.” She shrugged, “Just tell her if you love her. Why do that to her.” She didn’t know, exactly, what had happened between the two, but she sensed that both were clearly unhappy.

“It’s not a matter of saying it or not.” The crux between them was too deep, too deep.

“You even have a child, so what’s the problem. A girl who is willing to bear a child for you definitely has you in her heart.” Jiang Xiaoqi swore with conviction, then instantly thought of something, “Did you do something to apologize to someone? And no wonder?”

Zhong Yu did not listen to her any further and turned to leave.

“Hey, don’t leave. I haven’t given you the needle yet-”

When she returned home, Ning Qingyuan was in the hall, and by the looks of it, she knew she was waiting for her.

“Have you eaten yet?” She asked.

Ning Qingyuan’s face was sullen, and after Jane Mo drank a large glass of water, she turned to look at him, “By the way, Qingyuan-” Before she could finish her words, he opened his mouth and asked, “Did you go to look for Zhong Yu? ”

The air pressure lowered all of a sudden.

Jian Mo bit her lip, “Yes.” She simply stopped hiding, “When I went to look for Old Mr. Jiang, he was also there.” She sat down disheveled on the sofa, fortunately at this moment Ning Qingyuan couldn’t see her expression.

“Was it that Old Mr. Jiang refused to see you or that he simply wouldn’t let you see Old Mr. Jiang, do you know?” Ning Qingyuan questioned with clear words.

Jian Mo lowered her eyes, “Qing Yuan, Zhong Yu had a car accident, on the day you were leaving.” She didn’t know what to say, but in the end, she couldn’t get out of Zhong Yu’s car accident. In the bottom of her heart, she blamed herself, only after that happened today, she hated him again.

Ning Qingyuan’s expression remained the same, his voice calm, “I know.” He received the news that day, after Zhong Yu was sent to the hospital, he was the one who contacted his family in China for him. Only he didn’t say a word to Jian Mo, he was just afraid that she would blame herself or that she would be soft-hearted at that time.

“Let’s go see Old Mr. Jiang tomorrow.” She said calmly.

Ning Qingyuan’s face instantly tensed up, “I won’t go.”

Jian Mo’s eyes snapped open, “You don’t want to see?”

Ning Qingyuan was silent for a moment, “Don’t make yourself so tired because of me.”

“I’m not tired.”

“Although my eyes can’t see, but Jian Mo, I can feel it. Since returning to China, look at you, what have you tossed yourself into, if that’s the case I’d rather I never see.” He said vibrantly.

Jane Mo pinched her palm, “Don’t be like this, I’ve already made an appointment with Old Mr. Jiang, Qingyuan, go and take a look, so that my heart will die.”

Ning Qingyuan finally compromised.

On the second day, they arrived at the Jiang residence. Jiang Xiaoqi opened the door, and this time, Jian Mo was finally meeting old Mr. Jiang. The old gentleman was very amiable, most likely Zhong Yu had already spoken to him. Old Mr. Jiang directly took Ning Qingyuan into the room. Jane Mo and Jiang Xiaoqi stayed in the corridor.

“Don’t you worry too much.” Jiang Xiaoqi pounded the medicine one by one.

Jane Mo’s gaze fell to her hand and asked, “What’s this?”

“Zhong Yu’s medicine, he has to put it on every day.” Jiang Xiaoqi saw a flash of light in the bottom of her eyes, “I heard grandpa very much say that his car accident was quite serious.”

Today’s sunshine was especially good, and Jian Mo looked up only to feel some stinging under her eyes. After a long time, she asked quietly, “How is his leg now?”

Jiang Xiaoqi guffawed, “It’s not bad, although he can’t walk, but he can feel it now, it will be fine soon.”

Jian Mo looked at her, a sudden warmth flowed through his heart. The girl in front of her was kind and optimistic, so beautiful, her knitted brows and smile made her heart burst with relief. And the kind of look she gave Zhong Yu Jane Mo could read, it was a young girl’s affection.

“That Mr. Ning is your friend?”

“He’s my mom’s stepson.”

Jiang Xiaoqi nodded, she mumbled to herself in general, “Your relationship is really good.” She was a little bit impressed.

Jian Mo locked his brows and didn’t say anything else.
