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

Chapter 72

"Look at the harm you've caused others. If it were me, I'd stay far away from you too..."

Before Weiss could finish speaking, the phone went dead.

"You bastard, you hung up on me again."

Weiss was furious and jumped up and down. He had just come out when he saw me and Fu Yiran leaving from the corridor.

"Huh... did I see wrong? There's another man with Zhou Nanzhi?"

Weiss quickly ran over, took out his phone, snapped a photo, and sent it directly to Gu Jin.

"How about it?"

Fu Yiran followed me out of the hospital and asked.

"Well, that's fine then."

Fu Yiran remained silent, her gaze towards me filled with worry.

"Don't worry, I've come to terms with it. Whether I can be cured or not, I want to live happily. Besides painting, I can do other things too."

It's just that I've lost one hobby, it's nothing.

My eyes dimmed for a moment, but I forced a smile and tried to comfort myself.

"Okay, Zhizhi, from now on I will be your paintbrush. You can ask me anytime you want to do something, and I will accompany you."

Fu Yiran reached out and gently pressed my shoulder. Our eyes met, and I could feel the seriousness in his eyes, which made my heart beat involuntarily.

Finally, I smiled at him and said softly, "Fu Yiran, thank you."

"Oh, not at all. My mom cooked a meal today and wants me to take you home for dinner. Zhizhi, would you do me the honor?"

"Okay!"

I hesitated for a moment, then smiled and agreed to leave with him.

That evening, Fu Yiran took me home.

"Here, have some. I noticed you didn't eat much tonight. These are cookies my mom baked. Have some."

"Okay, Auntie's baking smells really good."

I opened the bag and looked at the cookies neatly arranged in the beautifully packaged box, a happy smile spreading across my face.

"Nanzhi, no matter if you get better or not, I will always be here for you."

Fu Yiran looked serious, as if he were making a promise.

During this time, with his companionship, I slowly opened my heart and began to show him a genuine smile.

"Ah."

"I'm going abroad to study next year, and I hope I can wait for you there."

After holding it in for so long, Fu Yiran finally spoke.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to scout the way out there. I'll definitely come find you when the time comes."

My thoughts coincided with Fu Yiran's.

"it is good."

Fu Yiran raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of my head, his voice filled with joy.

I went home and took a shower. Seeing that Gu Jinhuai's things were still there, I decided to ignore them and not worry about them. In the end, I found a large box, threw all his things into it, and huddled in his room.

That evening, after taking a shower and hesitating for a long time, I sent a message to Swei directly.

I'm sorry, Dr. Swie, this illness doesn't affect my life right now, so I've decided not to pursue treatment!

After sending the message, I opened the cookie box, and a milky aroma wafted out. I couldn't wait to start eating them one bite at a time. Lying in bed, I felt enveloped in happiness.

Happiness can be very simple sometimes, and I don't want much.

I ate a whole box of cookies in one night and felt a bit bloated, so I decided to go downstairs to the pharmacy to buy some digestive pills.

I glanced at my phone; Svi hadn't answered yet. I kept my phone in my pocket, still in my pajamas, wearing a long overcoat that covered me from shoulders to feet.

I wrapped my coat tighter and ran quickly to the pharmacy downstairs. I bought the medicine and headed home. Just as I looked up, I spotted a familiar figure under the lamplight.

In the dim light, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could tell from his demeanor that he was Gu Jinhuai.

I stopped and looked at him quietly. At that moment, surprisingly, I felt no resentment.

Because I'm tired and weary, I might have run away before, but now I've decided to face everything with equanimity.

I walked over slowly, and the man also got up and approached me.

"long time no see!"

"long time no see!"

They spoke in unison, and a hint of surprise flashed across my eyes, but the other person was backlit, so I couldn't see clearly.

Gu Jinhuai's gaze shifted downwards and landed on the bag in my hand.

After I noticed, I picked up the medicine bag and waved it at him: "I ate too much just now, so I'm buying some medicine. It's late, I'm going home now."

I feel like we don't have anything to talk about, so it's better to remain strangers.

Just as I was about to leave, a piercing, sharp sound suddenly rang out.

"Zhou Nanzhi, have you no shame? Dressed like this at night to seduce Jin Huai, I'll fight you to the death."

Song Yuan's face was contorted, her eyes filled with malice, and she threw a stone she had picked up from somewhere at me.

I panicked instinctively and my pupils contracted sharply as I watched the stone hurtling towards me.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed my arm and pulled me aside. Gu Jinhuai's tall body loomed over me, and a sharp stone slammed heavily into the back of his head.

Song Yuan realized what was happening, looked at Gu Jin, and exclaimed, "Brother Jinhuai, are you alright?"

"Who told you to come along?"

Gu Jin, with a sullen face, protected me well, while looking at Song Yuan with icy eyes.

"I……"

Song Yuan was startled by Gu Jinhuai's gaze.

Looking at Song Yuan's out-of-control state, I felt that she had become more and more disheveled since I last saw her. I could vaguely see the pimples on her face and her hair was a mess. She looked like a crazy woman.

I don't understand. They're already engaged, and things are practically settled, so why isn't she satisfied?

As if sensing my gaze, Song Yuan straightened her messy clothes, looked at me, raised her chin, and spoke in a gentle tone, completely different from the crazy woman from before. She could switch between these two styles so easily.

"Brother Jinhuai, don't forget that the Gu family and the Song family are inextricably linked. You can play around with other women, but Aunt Gu asked me to tell you that tomorrow is the day to get your marriage certificate. I hope you won't miss it."

This time, however, Gu Jinhuai didn't tolerate her. His cold gaze pierced her heart like a sharp sword, and he coldly uttered a single word: "Get out!"

"you……"

Song Yuan's face turned ugly. Finally, with red eyes, she glared at me and roared, "Zhou Nanzhi, are you satisfied with me now that I've become like this?"

I remained expressionless, letting her run wild.

"Gu Jinhuai, you will regret this."

Song Yuan looked at Gu Jinhuai, staring intently at me as if she had made up her mind.

I was chilled by Song Yuan's last look; I felt like she was plotting something.

A woman's intuition is usually very accurate.

Gu Jinhuai also noticed Song Yuan's madness, and his face turned terribly grim.

"I'll take you back first."

Gu Jinhuai didn't leave all night. I realized I had just packed his things away when he came over. I felt a little embarrassed and said, "I've put all your things together. If you're resting, you can look for them in your room."

I handed him the key, and Gu Jinhuai gave me a deep look, but didn't reveal my little secret. He then took the key and went back to his bedroom.

I had just returned to my bedroom and tidied up the cookie boxes on the table when I heard a knock on the door.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Gu Jinhuai rubbed his stomach as he spoke.

"I……"

I really wanted to say no, but Gu Jinhuai was a head taller than me, and there was an unopened box of cookies on the table. I didn't want to give it to him, but Gu Jinhuai had already seen it.

"Only cookies."

I took out the cookies, intending to give him a few, but to my surprise, Gu Jinhuai took them all and politely thanked me, saying, "Thank you."

He turned to leave, and just as I was about to close the door, he suddenly turned back to look at me and said, "Come with me to the bodyguard company tomorrow to pick out a few bodyguards. Be careful these next few days."

Gu Jinhuai paused for a moment, then continued, "I will handle Song Yuan's situation as soon as possible."

"Oh."

I responded softly, watching him return to the bedroom. He turned around, closed the door, and we stared at each other. My heart tightened, and I slammed the door shut to block his view.

I spent the whole night lost in thought, and didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.

I was woken up by a knock on the door early in the morning.

I groggily went to open the door, rubbing my eyes, my hair a mess, and said in a soft but impatient tone, "Go to sleep!"

Looking at my sticky, drowsy expression, Gu Jinhuai smiled deeply, reached out his index finger and gently poked my forehead, his voice filled with pleasure: "Awake, you little sleepyhead, today..."

Hearing Gu Jinhuai's words, I suddenly opened my eyes wide, saw the man in front of me clearly, and after a three-second pause, said in a rapid tone, "I'll settle things right away."

Then, I slammed the door shut and started changing clothes and washing up.

Half an hour later, I went out with him. On the way, I kept glancing at the people around me, looking very cautious.

"What are you afraid of?"

Gu Jinhuai frowned in displeasure.

"You're a big shot now, everyone knows you. To avoid trouble, you should wear a mask."

As I spoke, I took out a disposable mask from my pocket, tore open the packaging, and handed it to Gu Jinhuai.

"Help me."
