After seven years of being a "simp," she's reborn and no longer pursuing the aloof sc

Chapter

I looked at Song Yuzhou warily, my face cold: "I have nothing to do with him, and nothing to do with you. I don't know why you've come close to me. I'm not interested in what's going on between you two, and don't waste your time on me."

"I don't like him, and he's worthless to you. You can give up on him."

"Tsk tsk tsk, so ruthless. Although my identity is shady, I act with integrity and would never use a woman to deal with an enemy. You can rest assured about that. I'm just curious, you were clearly clinging to him before, and now you say you don't like him anymore? I don't quite believe it."

I stared at him with my clear gaze, and after a while, I smiled at him and said something that hit the nail on the head: "Since you like Song Yuan so much, why don't you pursue her openly and honestly? Instead, you cowered and pushed her to someone else in the end?"

A moment of silence fell over the air. Song Yuzhou's smile froze for a moment, and finally he reached out and pinched my chin, his eyes half-closed. Although he was smiling, his tone was cold: "Zhou Nanzhi, it's not good for a woman to be too smart. But I can confirm one thing: I'm more interested in you than her right now."

Gradually, he moved closer to me as he spoke. I frowned, impatiently slapped his hand away, and said coldly, "You scumbag, you fall in love with every girl you see. You're no different from Gu Jinhuai."

"I'm not interested in how you want to deal with him, and I won't help you. Take your flowers and get out of here."

I tried to grab the bouquet of roses on the bedside table and throw it to Song Yuzhou, but the man grabbed the flowers and tossed them onto my lap.

"Don't be angry. I heard that Gu Jinhuai has been taking care of you through the night these past few days and only came home today. I also heard that Song Yuan encountered some trouble abroad and may have gone abroad. So I've been the only one taking care of you these past few days."

Hearing Song Yuzhou's words, I tightened my grip on the bouquet, but my heart, rotten to the core, had long since lost all feeling.

I gave him a cold glance, my face expressionless, and my tone was frighteningly calm: "You're done talking, you can get lost!"

"So calm?"

Song Yuzhou tried to provoke me, but I just closed my eyes. His phone rang halfway through, and he answered it hastily, finally saying, "Zhizhi, be a good girl, I'll come see you again in a few days."

I listened to his voice with disgust, and only after the ward door closed did I open my eyes, stare at the white chrysanthemum in my arms, and laugh self-deprecatingly.

A moment later, the ward door clicked open. I frowned, thinking it was Song Yuzhou, and immediately grabbed the roses I was holding and threw them at him, saying impatiently, "Are you ever going to stop?"

I threw it with perfect aim, and by the time he came in, the bouquet had hit him directly. But when I saw who it was, I was surprised and watched as the bouquet hit him right in the face.

Gu Jinhuai reacted quickly, catching the rosebud that was hurtling towards me, and looked me straight in the eye: "Do you have a grudge against me?"

I pursed my lips and remained silent.

Gu Jinhuai walked over with the flowers in his hand. Just as he placed the flowers on the cabinet, the card on top fell off.

Gu Jinhuai and I both stared at the card. My heart skipped a beat, and I reached out to snatch it, but Gu Jinhuai was faster. He held the card in his hand, and as soon as he opened it, his face darkened.

I heard a shout from behind and felt a chill run down my spine. Instinctively, I reached for it, yelling, "Give it back to me!"

Gu Jinhuai raised his right hand, staring at me with a gloomy gaze, and asked in a cold voice, "Who gave this to you?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

I was furious. He was bullying a patient, wasn't he? In the end, I knelt on one knee on the bed and lunged at him, but I lost my balance and fell right into his arms.

"what!"

I gasped and instinctively closed my eyes.

"So young, and already trying to throw yourself into someone's arms, Zhou Nanzhi, who taught you that?"

I felt no pain, but I heard Gu Jinhuai's slightly playful voice above my head. My ears turned red involuntarily, and I could smell the cool minty scent on him as I breathed in it, just like his cold personality.

I hurriedly pushed myself out of his arms, not forgetting to snatch the card from his hand.

I looked at what was written on the card, my expression indescribable.

My dearest baby, you've suffered so much. I'll be there for you from now on, mwah!

"vomit……"

I couldn't hold back any longer, and with a disgusted look on my face, I threw the card directly onto the flowers.

"Who would send you white chrysanthemums, a gesture meant to bid you farewell?"

Gu Jinhuai looked at the bouquet of roses and found it an eyesore.

"What's it to you? If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"

I rolled my eyes at him, and the next second I saw him throw the rose into the trash can.

"This flower is considered unlucky. If you like it, I'll buy it for you."

After Gu Jinhuai finished speaking, he went to make a phone call. In a short while, the entire ward was filled with bouquets of flowers.

Apart from the hospital bed, the rest of the space was filled with flowers.

Gu Jinhuai exemplified the saying "money makes you willful."

Looking at the colorful flowers is like seeing the diverse lives of different people.

If you had to describe Song Yuan with a flower, it would be a peony. She was pampered from birth and had a smooth life.

I am like a wild rose, able to take root and sprout even in the most difficult environments, and survive tenaciously.

"Which one do you like?"

Gu Jinhuai suddenly spoke up.

I looked around, but there was nothing I liked.

"No."

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked down at the bracelet on my wrist. It was a gift from my grandmother when I was eight years old, on my first birthday.

I've worn it ever since, and whenever I'm thinking, I stroke the crystal-clear, emerald-green bead on the bracelet, which has a rose painted on it.

"If so what do you like?"

Gu Jinhuai frowned and asked.

"Wild roses, flowers that live in wild mountains and forests. Gu Jinhuai, stop doing this meaningless thing. I am not a garbage dump and will not take in unwanted trash."

I explained it very clearly, but Gu Jinhuai seemed not to understand. The next day, he arranged for someone to deliver a lot of roses.

They come in all sorts of colors; it's dazzling to look at.

My gaze fell on the card in the bouquet. As soon as I opened it, a faint scent of ink filled the air. The handwriting was sharp and flowing, clearly Gu Jinhuai's.

It reads: "Zhou Nanzhi, you like wild roses, and I like people who like wild roses."

I stared at those two lines of text, my fingertips tightening slightly as I gripped the card tightly. If only these words had come sooner.

The damage has been done; now it's just a matter of time before it's too late.

Without a second thought, I tossed the card into the trash can. Looking at the lifelike flowers, I reached out to touch them as if possessed, only to discover they were fake.

I sneered and threw the flowers into the trash can.

Gu Zi came again that evening, but I noticed something was wrong with her. Her eyes were red, but when I asked her about it, she answered with a smile.

It wasn't until I finished dinner that Gu Zi stammered, "Zhizhi, the acceptance letter has arrived. I'm going to Europe. I'll miss you so much... Waaah..."

Hearing this news, I felt reluctant, but I couldn't let it hinder her future.

"This is a good thing, why are you crying?"
