Chu Rui's brain must have been blank, his eyes couldn't focus due to tremors, they just kept flashing, looking at me, and then the light gradually dimmed.

Finally, he lowered his arms, clutched the box, and said in a trembling voice, filled with disappointment: "Why? Why can he do it, but I can't? How am I worse than him?"

I knew he was referring to Su Beicheng. I sighed and explained, "Chu Rui, I have never compared you with anyone. You are excellent, have ideas, and work hard. You are no worse than anyone else."

"Then why don't you stay with me? I thought we had become much closer this week. We obviously have common topics and we can start a company together. In the future, we will succeed together and celebrate together. Jingjing, I hope you can accompany me on the road ahead." As Chu Rui spoke, I don't know if he was sad or moved by himself, he started to cry, like a child, leaning on the head of my bed, his shoulders shaking with crying.

Seeing a grown boy crying because of me, I was at a loss.

I could only quickly look up at Ji Mu who was watching the show next to me, hoping that he could help me.

Ji Mu seemed to have sensed the plea for help from my eyes. He walked over and put his hand on Chu Rui's shoulder: "Xiao Rui, why are you crying? Get up."

"Uncle, you've never loved anyone, so you definitely don't know how much pain I'm in right now." Chu Rui sobbed, and finally, he looked at me with tears in his eyes: "Jingjing, what exactly is not suitable about us? Su Beicheng is so much older than you, you two are both suitable. We are of similar age, so we should be the most suitable match."

Ji Mu's expression froze slightly, perhaps because he thought about how old he was getting.

"Jingjing, if you don't agree, I won't get up, I'll just kneel..."

I am good at understanding men's thoughts, but I am not good at persuading a crying boy.

I could only apologize gently: "I'm sorry, Chu Rui, I know you are a good person, but I...we are really not suitable."

"You don't like me?" Chu Rui quickly found the reason. The next second, his eyes dimmed and his voice became hoarse: "You really don't like me? Only if you don't love me would you reject me so bluntly."

I was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I have always regarded you as a friend, even a brother..."

"I don't want to be your friend, I want to be your man..." Chu Rui stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and the box in his hand was almost deformed by his strong squeeze: "Jingjing, do you know that you are giving up a man who loves you so much? You have no idea."

I was so embarrassed. Aren't these scenes only seen in movies?

How could it happen in real life and make me so embarrassed that I can't even watch it?

Ji Mu said in a deep voice: "Xiao Rui, don't be like this, you scared her. Matters of the heart must be voluntary on both sides. Your one-sided love is not something you can show off."

Chu Rui was further hurt by Ji Mu's words. All his strength disappeared, and the next second, he sat down at the end of the bed, his voice weak: "I thought I could succeed, but it seems that I am a loser again."

Ji Mu felt distressed and softened his voice to comfort her: "Xiao Rui, don't be angry. The failure of a relationship doesn't mean anything. It only means that you and Miss Yin are not destined to be together."

"Yes, yes, yes." I said anxiously beside me, "Who knows, maybe you'll meet the next girl you like when you turn around."

Chu Rui turned his head and looked at me, saying with a faint resentment, "I'm afraid I'll never meet a girl better than you in this life. Jingjing, you should know that I fell in love with you at first sight the first time you came to school. I've never had this kind of heart-pounding feeling before."

Ji Mu stared at me sharply, as if I had already played the role of a bad woman. I had bewitched his innocent nephew and turned him into a fool.

"Chu Rui, this is not love. This is just a momentary passion. The nature of you men determines that you will fall in love with every woman you meet. You have to give up on me before you can meet the next one." I leaned against the head of the bed, and my voice gradually became calm and ruthless.

Chu Rui was stunned, as if hurt by my words.

Ji Mu looked at me in surprise, as if he had not expected that I was so young and could speak words at a temperature of zero degrees with a body temperature of thirty-seven degrees.

Chu Rui lowered his head in frustration, like a half-defeated little beast. His courage and bravery seemed to have disappeared. He held the box in his hands with both hands and said softly: "Jingjing, was I embarrassed just now? If so, then when we meet next time, are you going to laugh at me once?"

I was stunned for a moment, then I gently comforted him: "No, how could I laugh at a brave person? Chu Rui, you are very sincere, this is your advantage."

"Really?" Chu Rui's eyes finally lit up, and he laughed at himself: "That's how it's played on TV, but why didn't I move you just now?"

I almost laughed, but I was afraid that if I laughed, Chu Rui would feel embarrassed again.

"Only people with pure hearts like you believe that everything on TV is real. Chu Rui, thank you. Although I was shocked just now, I was also very moved. It is the honor of my life to be treated so sincerely by others." I was like a warm-hearted big sister. Not only did I not condemn him at all, I also encouraged him.

Chu Rui regained his vitality. He blushed and touched the back of his head: "Now that I think about it, it's quite embarrassing."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I said, "Chu Rui, I want to resign from your company. Starting tomorrow, I will concentrate on my studies."

"What?" Chu Rui was stunned. "Is it because I just confessed to you and scared you?"

I shook my head. "No, I've had this plan for a long time. There are only 24 hours in a day, and my schedule is quite tight right now, so I can't really balance both. But during this time with you, I've learned a lot of useful knowledge and gained a lot."

"Jingjing, you don't plan to accompany me to success? We agreed that Ruijing Technology is the best proof of my love for you." Chu Rui was anxious. He immediately stood up and looked at me excitedly: "How about I keep your position and wait until your studies are not so stressful, and then you can come back?"

"Really, no need. I plan to go abroad after graduation." I made up a lie. Anyway, I just need to coax Chu Rui now. I have my own plans for the future.

"Go abroad?" Chu Rui's eyes darkened: "So, that's why you study English so hard? Have you already made plans to go abroad?"

I nodded: "Yes, Chu Rui, I'm glad to be with you on this journey."

Chu Rui looked like he was about to cry again, but the next second, he wiped away the tears with the back of his hand: "Jingjing, you have always been a person with your own opinions, which is what I admire about you. Sometimes, you look as innocent and childish as a child, but... I don't have the courage to hold you. I can only say that I am not strong enough. One day, when I have enough confidence, can I go abroad to find you?"

I couldn't help but be stunned. He still didn't give up?

"Okay, then we can make an appointment to meet again in the future." I smiled and nodded.

"Then I'll take you home first..." Chu Rui's face showed expectations for the future, and he was about to help me pack my things.

Ji Mu suddenly said, "Xiao Rui, stop busying yourself. I have to go out for a meeting soon. I can give Miss Yin a ride on the way."

Chu Rui was stunned and looked at Ji Mu. Ji Mu seemed to be reminding him with his eyes not to be a bootlicker anymore, as it was a bit embarrassing.

Chu Rui lowered his head dejectedly: "Okay, then I'll go first, Jingjing, I'll find you when I have time."

"Goodbye." I waved at him. At this moment, I seemed to understand something that was bothering me.

Chu Rui left with a frustrated mood. When the door of the ward closed, Ji Mu suddenly came over and looked down at me: "Thank you for rejecting him decisively."
