CHAPTER 871: CHAPTER 580: DESOLATE FEELINGS, FLEETING WORDS, ENDURING LOVE (PART 6)

Bai Yuchuan and Lan Qiqi quickly returned, everyone chatted for a while, and time flew by. Around four in the afternoon, they started preparing dinner.

The only person in the house who could cook was Bai Yuchuan, so the responsibility fell on him, with Lan Qiqi assisting!

Yang Su originally also wanted to help, and in truth, her culinary skills were already at a stage where you could eat her dishes, and occasionally, they even tasted pretty good!

However, considering the third wheel effect, she didn’t go in.

Yan Chenqing and his girlfriend were sitting in the living room watching TV, and it felt awkward for Yang Su to stay there as well. In the end, she braved the risk of getting sick and went to find Zhang Mu!

Zhang Mu looked at her and laughed, "See, see, I knew you’d end up seeking refuge with me!"

"Cut it!" Yang Su scoffed, "You think I want to keep a sick person company?"

Zhang Mu chuckled, "Susu, don’t despise me like that. But honestly, seeing everyone coupled up out there, don’t you feel even a little bit of longing?"

"Longing?"

"Like, you and I..."

"Impossible!" said Yang Su, "Zhang Mu, I consider you a buddy, and if we can’t be friends, we can only break off!"

Zhang Mu lamented, "Why!"

"No reason! Zhang Mu, you should know, we’ve known each other for more than four years, and if there were any feelings, they would have come already!"

Zhang Mu fell silent, his face darkened, and after a while, he asked her, "Susu, is there someone in your heart?"

"..."

"Last time you suddenly came back. I noticed something was off. I didn’t ask anyone, but I sensed that your mood changes probably had to do with that person..."

Yang Su was taken aback and saw Zhang Mu force a smile, saying, "That person, I must have seen him before, but I don’t have much impression, which only means he’s not part of our circle... Why do you feel sad and troubled for him?"

"Zhang Mu, I..."

"Let him go!"

"..." Yang Su seemed a bit stunned!

Zhang Mu said, "Susu, I’ve never told you this, but I liked you from the first time I saw you. Because of this affection, there was a rift between my girlfriend at the time and me. I was looking at her, but thinking of you, and this feeling couldn’t continue. I chose to break up, but she disagreed and threatened to kill herself... After almost a year of this, it finally ended. But her condition was that I couldn’t date anyone for three years, cursing me that if I broke the promise, I would lose the woman I loved the most in my life..."

Zhang Mu said, "Susu, I know, some things you find unbelievable, but that’s the truth! That woman, she really can do anything, and she’s attempted suicide more than once or twice. I went from worried and scared to numb. I’m really tired and want to get rid of her, but I don’t want to leave everyone..."

Zhang Mu said, "Do you think living with a curse, seeing the person you like in front of you but unable to pursue her, feels good? No, it doesn’t! But I thought, as long as you don’t have a suitor by your side, it would be fine. As long as I stay by your side, it would be fine. It seems that just thinking this way, everything has become a habit. A habit to the point that now, pursuing you, I don’t even know how to go about it, I’m very lost, Susu, I don’t know what to do..."

Yang Su opened her mouth but wasn’t able to speak before Zhang Mu stopped her.

"You don’t have to say anything, I understand..." Zhang Mu took a deep breath and said, "I know you’re a bit caught off guard now, feeling all kinds of discomfort, after all, we’ve been buddies for so many years. Actually, how to say it? I’m not used to it either! But I’m willing to try this role change..."

He looked at her and said, "Do you know? Sometimes people must try and take risks, without using new things to fill the void, with no effort, directly rejecting me would not only be unfair to me but to yourself as well! Susu, even just once, I hope you can give me a chance!"

A mobile phone ringtone suddenly interrupted, and Yang Su got up, "I... I’ll take a phone call!"

As she left with the phone in hand, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, having to admit that she hadn’t learned to face many things calmly yet!

But when she saw the name flashing on the phone, she was momentarily stunned!

Asheng!

Such an ambiguous name!

Yang Su entered Li Weihuan’s room and then answered the call, "Hello? Do you need something?"

It hadn’t seemed long since they parted, he shouldn’t be calling at this time!

"Nothing much..." Chang Linsheng paused before saying, "Just testing if you had already put my name on the blacklist!"

Yang Su: "..."

Honestly, she thought this man was incredibly boring!

"What were you doing just now?" Chang Linsheng asked again.

Just now...

Yang Su wanted to say, I just got confessed to, and it was the kind of confession that’s hard to refuse...

But why tell Chang Linsheng about it?

With a slight cough, she said, "Not much, just waiting for dinner!"

"Oh~" Chang Linsheng responded. Yang Su heard car noises nearby, was he driving?

"Waiting for dinner, aren’t you cooking?"

In the villa, according to Chang Linsheng’s understanding, there are probably only two girls, and naturally, cooking is a woman’s work!

"Wasn’t it you who said? Young unmarried couples cooking together is sweet, am I that clueless?"

"Haha..."

A soft laugh came from the other end, "So, can you cook?"

"I can, but not proficiently!"

"Well then, make it for me next time!"

"..."

She was that sure she’d agree to move in with her?!

"Can you make soup?" Chang Linsheng asked again.

"No!" Yang Su answered directly.

"Oh~," Chang Linsheng responded again and then said, "No worries, I can!"

Yang Su: "..."

She was at a loss for words!

"I’ll teach you next time!"

"..."

Does this man’s thought process even belong to an Earthling?!

"By the way, how’s the roommate with the cold?"

"Same as before, took some medicine!" though she was thinking, why do you care so much!

"Hmm, did you tell them the medicine was from me?"

"...Why tell them that?"

"Seems you didn’t," Chang Linsheng’s voice sounded a bit disappointed, "Girl, you have to learn to refuse appropriately, even in small matters like this, because emotions, they either gradually accumulate or fade away in these small details..."

"That’s not how you put it. I’ve known Zhang Mu for almost five years, and you can’t understand what’s in between!"

"I can’t understand it, but I know that if you can’t give the other person a clear result, you should decisively cut off their obsession to prevent deeper future harm..."

"Is that like how you dealt with me back then?" Yang Su’s gaze flickered as she suddenly asked.
