Bring your bestie to play melon in the domineering love story

Jiang Ruoli lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

She didn't understand. The person who sent her away was Huo Xingzhou, and the person who asked her to come back was also Huo Xingzhou. In this small world, it seemed that everyone had their own life pattern, and only she was being fooled.

If it weren't for her best friend, she wouldn't want to stay here for even a second.

Huo Xingzhou stood outside the door, grasped the cold door handle with one hand, slightly curled his fingers together, turned the door handle, and pushed it open.

The lights in the ward were off.

It was completely dark at this moment. The corridor was brightly lit, and the unlit room did not seem that dim.

He glanced at the middle bed.

Jiang Ruoli was lying with her back to him. When she heard the noise, she turned her head and looked over. The moment her eyes met his, her eyes trembled slightly.

"What are you doing here?" Her voice was cold and distant.

If it were in the past, she would definitely call him a scumbag and ask him why he sent her back to her original world without even giving her an explanation.

But at this moment, Huo Xingzhou's existence was like a thorn and a bottle of poison to her.

She looked away, ignoring him.

"Ali."

Huo Xingzhou walked to the bedside and held her hand with his warm big hand, holding it tightly, as if he never wanted to let go.

Jiang Ruoli struggled in vain and chose to give up.

Both of them were silent.

half an hour.

Huo Xingzhou's deep voice rang out, "Are you still angry with me? I admit that I deceived you by pretending to be Shen Huaian, because I wanted to be by your side..."

"I don't want to hear your explanation."

“You have to listen.”

"Then what do you want to explain? Explain why you're engaged to Fu Yao and entangled with me at the same time? Is it because I'm her stand-in that you feel fresh and new?"

Seeing her eyelashes flutter, Huo Xingzhou held her hand tightly, his voice trembling, "You really didn't feel anything at all?"

"You have never been Fu Yao's substitute, from the beginning to the end."

From the beginning to the end, it is not.

This sentence is like a promise.

Jiang Ruoli snorted and laughed, but couldn't shake off Huo Xingzhou's hand, so she could only let him hold it. Her fair little face turned to the window, and she refused to look back at him.

"Ali."

"That's enough!" Jiang Ruoli exhaled and laughed at herself. A tear fell from the corner of her eye, tinged with bitterness. "Huo Xingzhou, do you think I'm a slut? I know you like Fu Yao, but I still want to get entangled with you. But don't worry, I won't do that again in the future."

She could feel Huo Xingzhou's hand stiffen. She had clearly decided to let go, but why didn't she feel any joy in her heart?

"Can't you just listen to my explanation?"

"I'm tired, please leave, Mr. Huo." She pulled his hand away, her eyes cold.

Huo Xingzhou's breathing became heavy, half of his face was hidden in the shadows, and he did not move.

Jiang Ruoli took a deep breath, pushed him away, lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Without even putting on slippers, she walked straight out the door.

"Ali!" Huo Xingzhou grabbed her wrist from behind and asked sternly, "Where are you going?"

"let me go!"

Jiang Ruoli tried to struggle.

As the two struggled, Huo Xingzhou groaned and loosened his grip a lot, but he still didn't let her go.

Jiang Ruoli then remembered that his arm was injured. It was probably because she accidentally bumped into it. Huo Xingzhou was injured while trying to save her. Jiang Ruoli was so angry that she could only say in a slow tone, "I'm sorry!"

The man held her outstretched hand and pulled her into his arms.

Jiang Ruoli raised her eyes, put her hand on his chest, and kept a certain distance from him.

The man was tall, blocking the light from the corridor. She stared into his dark eyes in the dim light and heard him say to her, "If I say the wound hurts, would you care?"

There was a snap.

The lights in the ward came on.

The nurse at the door was stunned for a second when she saw the two of them, then she reacted and quickly retreated.

The first thing Jiang Ruoli saw was Huo Xingzhou's neck, his cold Adam's apple, and his sharp jawline. Then she saw his arm under his thin shirt, which was faintly stained with blood.

The thrilling and helpless scene during the day flashed back to her mind, as did the man's restrained and controlled voice. He said, "Don't look. You'll be scared."

It felt like something was slowly tightening in my heart.

Breathing hard.

"Ari, do you care?" Huo Xingzhou asked again without giving up.

Jiang Ruoli's eyes were hot, she turned her face away, her eyes misty.

"I've always been a person who repays kindness and revenge. You saved me today, so I should say thank you."

Although it was clearly a word of thanks, the voice was surprisingly cold.

She had been so gentle when she was acting next to him, but now she didn't even want to pretend.

Huo Xingzhou almost laughed out of anger.

Jiang Ruoli couldn't shake off Huo Xingzhou's hand, nor could she leave the ward, so she could only turn around expressionlessly with her back to him.

She looked at the floor-to-ceiling glass window on the balcony. Her figure and Huo Xingzhou's were almost overlapping. The next second, the man hugged her from behind. "Ali, I can slowly explain to you about what happened in the past. The doctor said that you are emotionally unstable. Please don't get angry for now, okay?"

"I told you, I don't want to hear any explanation." Jiang Ruoli didn't look back, and the expression on her face was even more indifferent than before. "Let everything that happened in the past be in the past."

Huo Xingzhou's hand around her waist tightened slightly.

Before Huo Xingzhou could speak again, Jiang Ruoli laughed at herself and said, "You were the one who sent me back to my original world, right?"

"Have you ever thought about it?" Her throat choked and her voice became hoarse. "What will I feel when I wake up and see you for the first time? How will I feel when I know that I have been ruthlessly abandoned? Is it so difficult to explain? Even if you tell me that the person in your heart is Fu Yao and you want to be with her, I will convince myself and leave quietly... Huo Xingzhou, I know that you are the male protagonist of this world and she is the female protagonist. There is no point in me staying with you."

"No, it's not what you think." The man said in a hoarse voice, "Believe me."

Jiang Ruoli sneered, her eyes turning redder and redder, "Does it make any sense whether I believe you or not?"

The two overlapping figures on the glass door separated.

Jiang Ruoli could feel Huo Xingzhou's hand stiffen. She turned around, strode to the door, and turned the doorknob. "If you don't want me to call people and make a scene, please leave, Mr. Huo. I want to rest."

"Ali." Huo Xingzhou frowned.

The words of explanation came to his lips, but he swallowed them back in the end.

The moment he closed the door, he heard soft sobbing coming from the room, and Jiang Ruoli said, "I don't want to see you. Please don't appear in front of me again, Mr. Huo. Also... I will sign the divorce agreement!"

The ward door slammed shut.

Tang Jiujiu and Fang Hao stood in the corridor not far from the ward, frowning.
