Chapter 530: Chapter 528

That day, she went to the hospital to help bring food and take care of Brother Zha Xi, but what she didn’t expect was that Brother Zha Xi asked her if she was dating Sang Nian.

Dating, which means being in a relationship.

At that time, she had just had an argument with Sang Nian, and besides, the two of them hadn’t reached that stage, so naturally, they weren’t together.

But most importantly, she thought he was just asking casually. She hadn’t expected him to fall silent for a long time, seemingly struggling to speak. Finally, he slowly added, "Jin Zhu, then, may I wait for you?"

These words stunned her.

It nearly made her flee in panic.

Just when she was at a loss, the door to the room opened, and the person who came in was Sang Nian.

He had also come to visit Zha Xi.

She didn’t know whether he had overheard anything outside, but after that, whenever he saw her, he hardly spoke to her.

Once, during a holiday, upon seeing him, she mustered the courage to greet him. However, he saw her and purposefully walked around her, deliberately avoiding her.

It immediately made her terribly upset. She turned around, went back to her room, and silently wept.

After that, she also distanced herself from him and stopped interacting with him.

Wen Xian, watching Jin Zhu slowly recount everything that had happened, felt her tears threatening to fall again, but she forced them back. Wen Xian sighed helplessly in her heart.

She understood all too well. Being at the prime of youth, a young girl, naturally shy and inexperienced in love,

this tumult of emotions could make her feel lost and helpless.

Perhaps there was a misunderstanding between the two of them, or perhaps Sang Nian had unintentionally heard Zha Xi’s words, and knowing that their athletics team’s Brother Zha Xi silently admired Jin Zhu, he had stepped aside.

But regardless, Wen Xian knew that in a relationship, it’s not the self-sacrifice or concessions that bring joy to everyone.

She stroked Little Jin Zhu’s soft hair, pulled her into an embrace, and gently patted her back, whispering,

"Jin Zhu, you should just continue with your studies and not worry about anything else. Actually, I know you like Sang Nian, but he’s just like you, young and ignorant of love. Perhaps, when he grows up into a real man, he’ll understand that you shouldn’t give up on someone you like so easily."

Especially not for one’s own brother.

Why?

Little Jin Zhu wiped her tears and nodded, somewhat understanding, in her embrace.

Just then, the door suddenly opened. Sang Nian burst in with a few young men, followed by Zha Xi and Lu Xiao.

The sudden appearance of this scene startled them both, and Jin Zhu quickly turned around to dab her eyes so they wouldn’t see her reddened eyes.

Sang Nian, apparently not expecting Jin Zhu to be outside, was the first to rush out and saw Jin Zhu’s tear-stained red eyes.

Thus, his young body stiffened. However, eventually, he shifted his gaze away, wiped his face, and stood with his head lowered among his teammates, stealing glances in their direction every so often.

Wen Xian observed all this and slightly raised her eyebrows.

Ah, this damned, heart-wrenching love.

But now that they were all out, Wen Xian knew that it definitely wasn’t for something trivial.

Indeed, Lu Xiao came over and directly said, "Someone has disappeared, a woman. We need to go out and find her now."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xian’s heart tightened, yet she felt helpless.

With the New Year almost upon them, he just up and left, and she had no idea what kind of woman would disappear at this time...!
