"Who else could I be?"
Nan Bingyu set the waterlon down and turned to look at Chi Yue, "I heard your wedding is postponed?"
Chi Yue cast her gaze downward, her tone nonchalant, "I feel like now is not the ti. We’re already registered anyway, so we might as well wait a bit longer before holding it."
Nan Bingyu, frustrated at her intransigence, said, "What are you thinking? Registration is one thing, but how can you not have a wedding? Don’t forget, you even designed a wedding scene yourself, that was..."
Chi Yue cut her off, "We’re not children anymore, these things are not essential."
"Tell the truth, is there a problem between you and Fu Rongyin?"
Chi Yue was about to deny it when Nan Bingyu stared at her, "Don’t lie. If you lie to , then you’re done for."
Under Nan Bingyu’s mixture of threats and persuasion, Chi Yue reluctantly shared the situation with Ah Rou.
After hearing the whole story, Nan Bingyu’s face darkened, "That’s his attitude?"
Chi Yue said cautiously, "He didn’t outright refuse, but I just can’t shake off this uncomfortable feeling."
"You said that Ari is a psychologist? Knowing what’s going on between Fu Rongyin and you, why would she allow her sister to disturb you two?"
Chi Yue froze.
Her mind had been so fixated on Fu Rongyin that she had forgotten about Ari.
Nan Bingyu was right; if Ari were as nice as she appeared, then she wouldn’t have brought her sister over.
Moreover, Chi Yue realized she had forgotten sothing else, Ah Rou hadn’t shown up lately, but there was no news of her resigning either.
A sense of heaviness settled in Chi Yue’s heart.
Seeing her like this, Nan Bingyu patted her, "Don’t worry. What belongs to you won’t run away. I think Fu Rongyin’s attitude is still decent. If they don’t know when to stop, you have a good chance of winning."
Chi Yue nodded.
That evening, Chi Yue didn’t return ho.
Fu Rongyin called her several tis, but she had put her phone on silent and left it aside.
She slept beside Nan Bingyu, who fell asleep quite early, but Chi Yue lay with her eyes open, unable to fall asleep.
These days, whenever Fu Rongyin approached her, he was extrely careful, even the most basic bedti activities were only initiated after soliciting her willingness.
Chi Yue knew she shouldn’t be this way, but she just couldn’t treat him with the sa attitude as before.
Perhaps, it would take more ti.
Just as she was about to drift off in a half-sleep, Chi Yue suddenly woke up from a dream.
In a daze, she thought she heard sobbing.
Listening closely, she heard nothing.
Thinking it was a hallucination, Chi Yue closed her eyes again.
The next second, the sobbing sound echoed beside her, and she leaped out of bed to check on Nan Bingyu.
Indeed, Nan Bingyu’s face was streaked with tears, her eyes tightly shut, biting her lip hard.
Chi Yue jolted, calling out instinctively, "Xiao Yu? Xiao Yu..."
Nan Bingyu slowly opened her eyes, a look of bewildernt in them.
Anxiously, Chi Yue asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Sothing’s wrong with ?"
Chi Yue was silent for a mont, and then she reached for a tissue to wipe Nan Bingyu’s face.
Nan Bingyu touched her face subconsciously, fell silent for a mont, and then suddenly laughed, "How strange, I didn’t think I still had tears."
She took the tissue and wiped haphazardly, "It’s nothing, let’s sleep."
How could Chi Yue sleep now?
"Xiao Yu, if there’s sothing bothering you, don’t keep it to yourself. We can help you. If you keep hiding it, even if we want to help you, it would be difficult."
Nan Bingyu lay back down, "I don’t have that many worries, I’m not you."
Chi Yue didn’t know how to respond.
Since coming back, no one had seen Nan Bingyu’s vulnerability; she could wake up and be as cheerful as ever, skimming over the past half year without much thought.
