Chapter 124: Chapter 119: Do You Really Just Think of Me as a Sister?

Wu Wei drove behind her all the way until he watched Sun Yi walk into the campus.He stared blankly in the direction of the gate, somewhat dispirited and lost.

The various scenes of his days with Sun Yi played through his mind like a movie.

Those sweet moments were still vivid, but now they felt like they belonged to a distant past.

He really didn't want to, nor was he willing to lose her just like that.

But he didn't know how to clarify everything to her.

Especially since she still didn't know about him buying the hot pot restaurant and house for Zhou Yujie.

Once she found out, it would be even less likely to reconcile.

Thinking of this, Wu Wei's heart became flustered and chaotic.

At the same time, he felt very wronged.

If he had really done something with Zhou Yujie and was discovered, he would have accepted it.

But nothing had happened between them at all!

Admittedly, during these days of being together, he had developed some feelings and stirrings for Zhou Yujie from a man-woman perspective.

But he really had never thought about taking it any further with her.

"A gentleman acts, and does not merely think."

As a normal man, feeling this way about a beautiful woman by his side is a normal thing.

After all, even while walking on the street upon spotting a beauty, who doesn't want to take a few more glances?

The key is whether one can control their actions.

Wu Wei thought he had handled himself quite well in this respect.

Otherwise, given Zhou Yujie's great fondness of eighty-four for him, it wouldn't have been difficult to initiate something with her.

But he had never thought about doing so because he always remembered that he had a girlfriend.

He loved her deeply, so he wouldn't do anything to hurt her or make her sad.

Yet unexpectedly, even so, he was still misunderstood because of spending money.

He now really felt like a mute who had taken bitter medicine—he had a hard time to tell.

However, this couldn't be blamed on Sun Yi, since anyone would have misunderstood in such a situation.

She was also very upset now.

If there was to be blame, it could only be directed at his own negligence and lack of thorough consideration.

A little while later, guessing that Sun Yi had probably returned to her dormitory, Wu Wei picked up his phone and sent her a WeChat message.

Only to find that she had blocked him.

He called her, and as expected, she had blocked him there as well.

Wu Wei shook his head helplessly and could only drive away.

Returning to Foshan Jingyuan, Wu Wei stared at the empty room, feeling a wave of emptiness and loneliness.

When sleeping, the absence of a warm body beside him made him feel an extra sense of emptiness, extremely unused to it.

That night, Wu Wei, who had not suffered from insomnia for a long time, once again couldn't sleep.

He lay thinking wildly until four or five in the morning before finally dozing off in a daze.

...

In the following days, Wu Wei tried to find Sun Yi several times.

But Sun Yi either avoided him or left hurriedly with a cold face, never speaking a word to him from start to finish.

And every time he went to see her, her fondness for him dropped a notch.

Now her fondness had dropped from 80 to 71.

If it continued to decrease, she would not even "like" him anymore.

This made Wu Wei feel an indescribable despair, and his heart grew more and more depressed, more and more painful.

He really wanted to find someone to talk to; keeping it all inside was just too unbearable.

However, in Jicheng, apart from Sun Yi, the only other person he knew was Zhou Yujie.

Since that last incident, Zhou Yujie and he had not seen each other again, and there had been no communication in any form.

Both had been keeping their distance in silent agreement.

But now, maintaining that distance no longer mattered.

So Wu Wei picked up his phone and called Zhou Yujie.

After a while, Zhou Yujie finally answered, "Hello, little brother."

Wu Wei said directly, "Sister, join me for a few drinks tonight."

Wu Wei was actually someone who didn't like drinking because he felt that beer, liquor, wine, or spirits were all too harsh. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He couldn't understand why some people liked the taste of alcohol.

But now, he suddenly wanted to get thoroughly drunk.

Zhou Yujie was silent for a moment before she said, "Today is the weekend, the shop is quite busy, I'm afraid I can't get away."

"Then let's drink at the shop."

Wu Wei sensed something was off with Zhou Yujie and immediately said, "Sister, you don't have to deliberately avoid me. It wasn't your fault, and besides, things with her are probably impossible now anyway."

"What's happened?"

Zhou Yujie quickly said, "Haven't you explained things to her these past days?"

Wu Wei replied, "It's not clear over the phone, I'll come to you and explain."

"Alright, I'll reserve a private room for you."

Soon enough, Wu Wei drove to Jichuan Lao Hot Pot.

It was Sunday, and the business was still good.

The first floor was almost full, and half of the private rooms on the second floor were occupied.

Wu Wei followed Zhou Yujie to the innermost luxurious private room.

The dual-flavored hot pot was already boiling, and the table was full of various ingredients, with two bottles of beer in the middle.

"Sister, two bottles of beer? Who would that be enough for?"

Wu Wei said as he sat down on a chair.

"How much do you plan to drink?"

Zhou Yujie eyed Wu Wei and said, "I thought you didn't drink?"

"Mhmm, but I feel like drinking now."

Wu Wei opened the two bottles of beer and took a deep gulp from one of them straight from the bottle.
