Chapter 42 Regrets and Unresolved Issues from Youth

The scene has changed.

Zhang Xinran saw Zhou Jian kneeling in front of Chen Feifei, his face covered in tears.

Chen Feifei remained unmoved.

Zhang Xinran had never seen or heard of this scene before.

She had no idea that such a thing had actually happened, that Zhou Jian had knelt before Chen Feifei and begged her.
Zhang Xinran moved closer and hid to the side, overhearing Zhou Jian pleading with Chen Feifei, "Feifei, can you not leave? We promised to get married after graduating from university. I've been working hard on my project, and I can give you the life you want. Please don't leave, okay?"

"Zhou Jian, the matter of going abroad has been settled. Mom and Dad hope I have a better future. Let's give each other two years, okay?"

project?

Zhang Xinran had been following Zhou Jian closely. She remembered that Zhou Jian started working on the project during his senior year of college. The project went through many hardships, but the final result was very good.

So this was during her senior year, when Chen Feifei was going abroad to pursue further studies. Zhou Jian begged her to stay, but Chen Feifei refused.

"Feifei, I don't want to be separated from you. Can you give me six months? If my project doesn't turn out well, I won't stop you anymore!"

Chen Feifei didn't seem sad at all. She just shook her head lightly and said, "My plane ticket is for next week. My parents will be coming with me."

Zhang Xinran watched Zhou Jian leave dejectedly, and she did not chase after him.

At this point, they're just asking for trouble.

But Zhang Xinran walked in the direction Chen Feifei had left, chasing after her and blocking her way. "Why are you so heartless? Zhou Jian likes you so much!"

Chen Feifei looked at Zhang Xinran, seemingly not surprised at all. "I remember you. You liked Zhou Jian. You confessed to Zhou Jian in front of me when we were sophomores. I'm going abroad and I won't stay for anyone."

Zhang Xinran was somewhat angry. Zhou Jian liked her so much, how could she say such things so casually?
"You are not worthy of Zhou Jian!"

“But Zhou Jian only likes me!” Chen Feifei said, raising an eyebrow.

"you!"

"If you like Zhou Jian, then study hard. Many people like him. Your current grades are not good enough to pursue Zhou Jian."

After mocking Zhang Xinran, Chen Feifei left immediately.

Zhang Xinran was really angry and furious!
She should be happy if they break up, so why is she so angry?
The scene changes again. Chen Feifei didn't come to school. Zhang Xinran saw that Zhou Jian was taciturn and no longer liked to talk. He also stopped communicating with male classmates. He spent all his free time on projects and couldn't sleep more than a few hours.

Zhang Xinran still humiliated herself once again. Zhou Jian ignored her and treated her the same as he did the other classmates.

Seeing Zhou Jian getting thinner and thinner, Zhang Xinran decided to go find Chen Feifei!
She was determined to berate Chen Feifei and force her to come back to see Zhou Jian, but Zhang Xinran never expected that Chen Feifei had not gone abroad!
Such a melodramatic plot, how could it happen to Zhou Jian?
She saw Chen Feifei again at a private hospital. The beautiful Chen Feifei had lost all her hair and looked lifeless, no longer possessing any youthful vitality.

So Chen Feifei didn't abandon Zhou Jian, but wanted to disappear from Zhou Jian's world in this way, so that Zhou Jian would forget her and live a good life.

The disgust and hatred that Zhang Xinran had felt towards Chen Feifei for the past twenty years suddenly vanished at this moment.

She didn't know that Chen Feifei was sick, and that it was an incurable terminal illness. No wonder she never heard from Chen Feifei again. At the class reunion, no one knew either; they just assumed that Chen Feifei's family had settled abroad.

This kind of plot, which only appears more than ten years later, actually happened to them.

When Chen Feifei saw Zhang Xinran, she forced a smile. "Why are you here? Is it because of Zhou Jian?"

Zhang Xinran remained silent. Her mind was in turmoil; what should she do?
Should she tell Zhou Jian about this?

But Zhou Jian will never forget it, right?

This is unfair to Zhang Xinran.

“If you like Zhou Jian, go after him. I believe you will succeed. Just don’t tell him about me. Everyone knows I’ve gone abroad. I’ve been beautiful for so many years, and I don’t want people to see my current image, nor do I want to face the atmosphere of life and death.”

Zhang Xinran neither answered her nor comforted her; she remained silent, then turned and left.

Despite her inner turmoil, Zhang Xinran eventually brought Zhou Jian to Chen Feifei, leaving time for the two of them, even though she was reluctant and heartbroken.

But Zhang Xinran left when she saw Zhou Jian crying uncontrollably while holding Chen Feifei.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xinran opened her eyes and found herself still inside the Ferris wheel.

Looking at her daughter and husband who were waiting for her, Zhang Xinran took her husband's hand and said, "Honey, I'm sorry."

"Mom, what did you see? Do you need to apologize to Dad?" Qingqing looked at her mother curiously. "Did Dad hide some money from you? And then you two had a fight?"

Zhang Xinran didn't speak, but Zhou Jian said, "Dad saw you when you were little, the time you had a high fever, it almost scared your mom and dad to death."

Qingqing remembers that when she was little, she had a high fever that almost damaged her brain and made her stupid. She never expected that this was the thing her father was most worried about. She stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm all grown up now. Look at me, I'm healthy and everything is fine! My biggest wish is for you and Mom to be safe and healthy, and for the three of us to be together."

Hearing Zhou Jian's words, and not seeing Chen Feifei, Zhang Xinran's feelings were somewhat complicated.

After leaving the Ferris wheel, Zhang Xinran grabbed Zhou Jian's arm and asked, "Have you contacted Chen Feifei again?"

Zhou Jian was suddenly stunned and looked at Zhang Xinran in disbelief, "It's been so many years, how do you still remember? I don't remember at all."

Zhang Xinran reached out and pinched Zhou Jian's waist. "I'm not jealous. I just think that you two were so close back then, how come you've lost contact? I'm not doubting you, honey, you're overthinking it."

"That was...you saw what happened between me and her inside?" Talking about the past, Zhou Jian didn't have any other feelings. The past is the past, and he now has a happy family.

Zhang Xinran nodded. "I think you should go see her. She may already be gone."

Zhou Jian's expression changed. "Which one isn't here?"

"I saw that Chen Feifei was sick. She left this world before everyone graduated in her senior year. She didn't go abroad. She lied to you so that you would forget her and live a good life."

Zhou Jian didn't say a word, remaining silent.

Zhang Xinran didn't urge her, nor was she jealous or possessive.

Qingqing has already run to find Song Zhizhi. "Host, host, I think my mom and dad are very happy. My mom should be able to get over her worries now. Thank you!"

Song Zhizhi handed a jelly dessert to Qingqing, saying, "Please have this."

"There are more than ten people in the Minotaur's Maze instance. Do you want to go in now?"

Qingqing munched on the jelly, looking at her parents not far away, wondering what her father would choose.
