Chapter 546: Tossing and turning, unable to sleep

"Sis, you’re back," Zhou Li said when she arrived home. Zhou Jingpeng was watching TV. He turned his head, glanced at her, and asked, "Have you had dinner?"

"I have," Zhou Li said. "I had a meal out with my classmates."

"Hehe!" Zhou Jingpeng laughed and asked, "You didn’t eat at the large dining hall, did you?"

Zhou Li’s face turned red. She really had eaten at the large dining hall. She said, "Brother, what are you talking about? I’m going to my room to study!"

Zhou Jingpeng hurriedly said, "Sis, I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Oh?" Zhou Li’s expression changed slightly, but she still walked over, put down her backpack, sat on the old sofa, and asked, "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Is there really no conflict between you and Leng Xuan?"

"Brother, I don’t want to talk about this."

"Sis, I won’t interfere with anything, I just want to know the truth," Zhou Jingpeng sighed and said, "If you were thinking of dating other guys, to be honest, I might oppose it. However, if it’s Leng Xuan, then I would only give my full support."

Zhou Li felt an unspeakable sense of injustice and couldn’t hold back her anger as she said, "Brother, what’s so good about him? Why do you always praise him in front of me? Do you not know, he never liked me at all..."

Zhou Jingpeng was stunned and asked, "He doesn’t like you? Did he tell you that himself?"

Zhou Li pouted. Her grades had recently fallen due to the weight on her mind, making her very tense. Now that the floodgates were open, she no longer wanted to hide her thoughts and said, "I can feel it. His approach to me before was just to play with my body, that’s all."

Zhou Jingpeng frowned slightly and said with some displeasure, "Sis, aren’t you underestimating him? Haha, I know his character better than anyone. I can guarantee with my life that he’s not that kind of person."

Zhou Li stopped short of speaking. She was shocked that her brother would stake his life on Leng Xuan’s character. If she didn’t understand Leng Xuan, could she not understand her own brother? Could someone so highly regarded by her brother be the sort to casually toy with women?

At that moment, Zhou Li suddenly realized that she might... have really misunderstood Leng Xuan. Thinking back on her past interactions with Leng Xuan, was the impression he left on her really that bad?

But if he didn’t intend to toy with her, then why did he start by showing such enthusiasm, only to become so distant now?

Seeing that Zhou Li remained silent, Zhou Jingpeng let out a bitter laugh and said, "Sis, I really don’t mean anything else. Your happiness is for you to choose, of course. I just want to remind you that if you really like him, don’t give up so easily. Find some time, ask him out for a chat, and clear up the misunderstanding. You know, with someone as outstanding as him, if you miss this chance, there may not be another one."

Zhou Li didn’t know what to say. After a long silence, she got up, picked up her backpack, and went into her room. She took out a book and read for quite a while without absorbing any of it. Even after taking a bath and lying in bed, she couldn’t fall asleep until well into the night. She picked up her phone several times, intending to send Leng Xuan a message, but ultimately she put it down each time...

Early morning, the airport!

Huang Xiaojun was standing at the exit, scanning the crowd. Flower Butterfly had called him the night before, telling him she would arrive this morning and asking him to arrange for someone to pick her up. However, to show his sincerity, Huang Xiaojun had come in person.
