"Zhou Xiang, do you know that he has always liked you?" Wu Meng suddenly looked up at me with clear eyes.
"Stop messing around... We're just old classmates. " In the end, I forced myself not to let her see that something was wrong.
Wu Meng was a little incoherent. I didn't know what she wanted to say, but I knew that she must be feeling really sad right now.
"Wu Meng, don't be like this, tell me clearly, what happened?" I know it's cruel of me to ask, but that's the only way.
A girl like Wu Meng received the most traditional of education since childhood, so she definitely wouldn't be able to accept such a thing. But I don't know what to do right now, what exactly happened between her and Guo Ruiyuan that caused her to collapse like this.
"Zhou Xiang," Wu Meng seemed to have finally calmed down a bit as he wiped away his tears and looked at me, "Last night, I had originally planned to send him to his room, then … "Take care of him a bit more and you'll go home."
I nodded and kept stroking her back, giving her the strength to go on.
Wu Meng relaxed a little again, then nodded and said: "He drank too much, and fell asleep the moment he touched the bed. I originally wanted to use a towel to wipe his face, but he … He suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed me … "
My heart sunk. I didn't need her to tell me what happened next, I knew that I was really to blame for this matter. I knew that Guo Ruiyuan was already drunk to the point of unconsciousness, how could I be at ease leaving Wu Meng alone with him.
How could I have forgotten how terrible a drunk man was?
"Zhou Xiang..." Wu Meng looked at me helplessly. "Did you know? He treated me. When I was calling your name all the time, the person he really liked was you. That's what made me feel like I broke down the most. I... "Actually, I like him a lot, but …" Wu Meng could not continue any further, she laid on my shoulder and cried.
I didn't expect the truth to be like this. Furthermore, she had a good impression of Guo Ruiyuan from the start. Even if they were to get along, it would increase their relationship a little, but I had never thought that when Guo Ruiyuan had a relationship with his again, he would call me by my name.
As I consoled Wu Meng, I pondered how I would be able to face Wu Meng in the future if she were to tell me this.
In the beginning, she had a good impression of Ye Junli, but in the end, her secret relationship with me had been broken. It wasn't easy for her to fall for Guo Ruiyuan, and now such a thing has happened.
"Wu Meng, I'm sorry … It's all my fault that I … " I don't know how I should console Wu Meng; after all, my heart is in a mess right now.
"It has nothing to do with you." Wu Meng raised his head and looked at me, "I was being too careless … Furthermore, I had the chance to escape at the beginning yesterday. "I really like him a lot, that's why I was so reluctant to …" Wu Meng explained in an intermittent manner.
I suddenly understood that the most fundamental reason why Wu Meng was so heartbroken was not because of what Guo Ruiyuan had done to her, but because Guo Ruiyuan had treated her as me.
I don't know how to comfort her. The most pressing matter at hand right now is to calm her down, and then go and ask Guo Ruiyuan about this.
Guo Ruiyuan never answered my call, it must be related to this, it's just that right now I don't know what he meant by that, is he trying to avoid this responsibility, or is he just trying to calm himself down?
Wu Meng cried until she was completely exhausted, then she fell asleep on top of me. I looked at her tear-stained face, and my heart was full of guilt. It was really my fault, and if it weren't for me, she wouldn't be in so much pain right now.
Only then did I remember that Ye Junli had been waiting outside the whole time. I hurriedly helped Wu Meng to lie on the bed, covered her up, and then went out to find Ye Junli.
Ye Junli didn't seem to have left. He was waiting for me outside the door. When I saw him, I was slightly touched. A person like him would actually obediently wait outside the door for me.
"Finally willing to come out?" Ye Junli leaned against the wall and asked lightly when he saw me return.
"She's in a very unstable mood right now. I'll stay here with her."
Ye Junli frowned. "What happened?" Do you have to go through so much trouble? Did he kill someone? "
I felt really helpless. In the eyes of people like Ye Junli, only killing people can be considered a big deal.
After all, this concerns Wu Meng's innocence. Although no one would care about it in this era, I feel that as an outsider, it's better not to spread this sort of news. If news of this spread to Wu Meng's ears, she would be really disappointed in me.
"Nothing, you can go back first. I'll tell you in the future when I have the chance." I gave him a nudge.
Ye Junli took the opportunity to embrace me in his arms and lowered his head to look at me. "What happened? Is it any of your business? "
I avoided his gaze, not knowing how to answer. In fact, this matter could really be considered to be related to me, if Guo Ruiyuan didn't call out my name, Wu Meng wouldn't be so sad, but right now, I don't know how to explain it. If Ye Junli knew what Guo Ruiyuan was thinking about me, he would inevitably not think too much about it, and comforting Wu Meng right now is the most important thing.
"Nothing, you go back first. It will really be fine. I will slowly tell you in the future." I can only put it off for now.
Ye Junli obviously didn't believe me. He stared at me for a long time before saying, "Why can't you tell me now?"
This is the first time I've seen him act so tough. I thought he would just leave, but I didn't expect him to.
"It's not convenient to tell you about her, is it?" That's all I can say to him.
"Zhou Xiang..." A voice called my name from the side.
