“Is this money enough to pay your tuition?” He Jingyao asked with a smile.
Su Zixi nodded and mumbled, “I’ll find a way to repay you.”
“Hmm? What’s it got to do with me?” He Jingyao raised an eyebrow.
Su Zixi couldn’t help but giggle.
“Yes, it has nothing to do with you!” She emphasized the “you.”
He didn’t admit it was unrelated, as long as she remembered, she would always have a chance to repay him.
Thinking this, Su Zixi raised her head and said, “Young Master He, I should go back to class.”
“But I can’t bear to let you go,” He Jingyao looked at her deeply, “When will I see you next time?”
Su Zixi’s face turned a little red, she avoided his gaze and murmured, “Um, not too long...”
Listening to Shen Yushan’s question, Su Zixi’s eyes flickered with sadness. She forced a smile and shook her head, “It’s not him.”
“If it’s not him, then who is it?” Shen Yushan’s gossip instincts flared up, “You’ve given so much for that man, and given your own good conditions, how could he reject you? Is he really a prince?”
Su Zixi shook her head, “Saving him was my choice; it doesn’t mean he owes me anything.”
Shen Yushan glared at her, “Su Zixi, you’re so silly sometimes!”
“As long as he woke up, then my efforts were worthwhile,” Su Zixi muttered, not knowing if she was convincing Shen Yushan or herself, “Really.”
Shen Yushan thought for a moment, “Could he be an ingrate? Repaying kindness with enmity?”
Su Zixi shook her head, “No, he’s a good person.”
Ning Yichen really treated Su Lianxi well, practically with no limits, spoiling her and indulging her.
So when he ended up with Su Lianxi, Su Zixi was so heartbroken because she felt that if it weren’t for Su Lianxi’s interference, that indulgence and love should have belonged to her.
But later, she gradually understood that even if Ning Yichen knew she was the one who saved him, he might not have fallen in love with her the way he did with Su Lianxi.
He was a good person, but they were not meant to be.
