CHAPTER 555: 492 SPENDS A LIFETIME SAVING OTHERS, BUT CAN’T ATONE FOR HIS SINS

——So what if he has someone he likes?

"So, him being nice to you these past few days and taking you out to play might just be because you are a distinguished guest from our country G. He might just want to be friends with you. I hope Princess Chinian won’t fall too deeply."

Song Lili said earnestly.

Chinian appeared to be listening seriously as well.

She nodded her head,

——Thank you, Sister Lili, I’ll remember what you’ve said.

Although Chinian was young, she was still an adult after all.

She had already given her the necessary reminders.

Song Lili believed that Chinian would understand her meaning.

——Sister Lili, if there’s nothing else, I will go upstairs first.

"Ah, wait a second."

Song Lili hastily stopped Chinian.

Chinian’s hand made a nodding motion, then she gestured a question mark,

——Sister Lili, is there anything else?

"It’s about you going to university to study national history."

——Oh, I’ve already forwarded the response Brother Chiluo gave me to you all, I don’t know... is it okay?

"Yes, with your brother’s consent, Wen Nian and I definitely won’t stop you."

Song Lili told her,

"The school matters will be arranged by us, and you could go to school to study the day after tomorrow at the earliest. But... I have a request."

——Sister Lili, just say it, what is the request?

"Even though you’re going to school, you can only attend the private courses taught by the national history teacher."

——What do you mean?

"It means that Wen Nian and I have already arranged for you to have classes with the best national history teacher in the school, you might not be able to study in a class with a lot of other students like everyone else."

"..."

——I’m sorry, Princess Chinian, because your safety is really too important, so...

Although Chinian was somewhat disappointed, she was more grateful and shook her head,

——I’ve always been troubling you, Sister Lili, how can I apologize to you? Thank you, Sister Lili.

Song Lili smiled,

"Anyway, thank you for understanding us. It’s getting late; you should go upstairs and rest."

Chinian nodded.

But Song Lili was still sitting in the living room, holding a cell phone in her hand, pondering for a long time. She called Xiaoer again, only to find the phone was still unanswered.

What is this girl doing?

Not answering calls since evening...

Is the hospital really that busy?

As she was thinking this, her phone rang; Xiaoer had returned her call,

"Lili? Is something the matter?"

"What are you doing? I called you several times, but you didn’t answer."

"I was in a meeting this afternoon; now I’m on duty at the hospital."

"Do you have a moment?"

"Just tell me what it is. I’m not very busy on duty."

Xiaoer said indifferently.

She leaned against the hospital wall, one hand in the pocket of her white lab coat, her body looking relaxed, and she appeared to be in a languid state.

"You know why I’m calling you..."

"I don’t."

"Little Ear... what exactly is going on between you and Zhongli?"

"Nothing much, it’s still the same as before, didn’t I already tell you?"

Xiaoer casually said, her tone revealing some impatience.

"Is it worth it? Zhongli was indeed a bit impulsive, but he did it out of jealousy, which shows just how much he really cares about you."

"Could this level of care be a bit pathological?"

Xiaoer scoffed,

"What the hell is wrong with... Lili, what about you?"

"What?"

"Why are you speaking up for him? How could even your moral standards become twisted!"

"Hang on, Little Ear, I’m not fully aware of what exactly has happened between you two, I was just instinctively trying to mediate, and Zhongli... wasn’t he your first love?"

"Song Jing, the surgical director who was injured by Zhongli, might never be able to enter the operating room again because of his hand injury! Lili, for a surgeon, his entire career is ruined."

"..."

Song Lili pursed her lips.

"Zhongli Wuzhi is the kind of person who is self-centered and can easily destroy someone’s life just because he is unhappy. How terrible is that?"

Xiaoer asked Song Lili coldly.

Song Lili was truly at a loss for words and only after a while did she ask,

"Then, what is between you and Song Jing..."

"There’s nothing between Song Jing and me, just ordinary colleagues. I’m his junior, and he tends to take extra care of me in everyday life. But Song Jing is someone who greatly values and cherishes talent; it’s not just me he cares about, he also takes great care of the student he’s currently mentoring!"

"Right."

"After his hand was injured by Zhongli Wuzhi, Song Jing didn’t blame or resent anyone, let alone take it out on me. Instead, his own career is ruined, and he’s still concerned about my feelings, hoping I won’t feel too guilty...’"

"..."

"Lili, the more forgiving and gentle Song Jing is, the more it emphasizes how childish and ridiculous Zhongli Wuzhi’s impulsive selfishness is, and even... despicable!"

Listening to Xiaoer’s words, Song Lili’s heart unconsciously sank.

The words she used to describe Zhongli Wuzhi were truly... harsh.

"Just with his own whims, he ruined a doctor, destroyed someone’s career and dreams. Do you know his attitude?"

"... No."

"He doesn’t show the slightest bit of remorse and is still so argumentative."

"..."

Song Lili really wanted to speak up for Zhongli Wuzhi...

In her previous life, what she envied most was Zhongli Wuzhi and Xiaoer.

She envied that both of them were always clear about what they wanted and could stick to it.

In this life, she hoped many things would change, but she did not wish for any change in the affections between Zhongli Wuzhi and Xiaoer.

"Lili, maybe Zhongli Wuzhi does have true feelings for me, but true feelings are one thing, and his character is another. I am a doctor; what I want to do is save people. And him..."

Xiaoer curled her lips slightly,

"He ruined someone, and it seems like even if I spent my entire lifetime saving people, I couldn’t atone for what he’s done."

"..."

"It’s over between him and me. So... don’t try to persuade me anymore."

Song Lili heard Xiaoer speak confidently.

She pursed her lips...

Xiaoer... is someone with a strong sense of justice and is very persistent about right and wrong.

Zhongli Wuzhi’s jealous actions, which hurt someone, might look cool and impressive to some naive girls, even demonstrating how much a man cares.

But through Xiaoer’s eyes, all she could see was Zhongli Wuzhi’s willfulness, immaturity, irresponsibility, unrepentance, and even... despicableness, excessiveness.

"Alright, I won’t talk too much. Go to sleep early, Lili."

"Little Ear... just one last question for you."
