Chapter 1503 - 994: Troubles
Today’s update is complete.

"What’s so strange about it? You can argue, but others can’t?" Chuxia looked at Lin Mengran with a speechless expression, showing disdain for her fussing.
"It’s different for me. I have a fiery personality, so arguing isn’t strange for me, but Sister Jingzi is different. She’s so gentle, how could she possibly argue?
Plus, she’s always been such a good assistant to your Third Brother. He should cherish her, not argue with her.
Isn’t it possible that there’s some misunderstanding between them? Chuxia, have you asked? Let me tell you, honesty is really important between lovers."
Chuxia looked at Lin Mengran with amusement: "Are you speaking from experience about the cost of not being honest?"
Someone just laughed awkwardly without saying anything.
"Did I actually guess it right?" Chuxia looked at Lin Mengran with curiosity, "For someone who reacts like you do, you still have things you weren’t honest about? Come on, tell me, would you?"
"It’s really nothing..." Lin Mengran coughed unnaturally, "I just told Zuo Jiang that I never liked any boys, and in the end... he said that he already knew I used to like Zuo Qian, and then, he didn’t talk to me for two days."
"That’s pretty dumb of you..." Chuxia looked at her speechlessly, "When you first started school, anyone with half a brain could see the way you felt about Zuo Qian, let alone Zuo Jiang, who’s so close to Zuo Qian?"
"Tell me about it..." Lin Mengran tugged her hair, frustrated, "Afterward, I felt like I must have been kicked by a donkey. The atmosphere was so good, why did I have to open my mouth?"
"Did you bring it up yourself?"
"Yeah."
Chuxia: "..."
"This just shows that you really like Zuo Jiang a lot, otherwise, you wouldn’t act like this. So, you should explain this reason to Zuo Jiang." After a long pause, Chuxia finally came up with this to comfort her.
"I’m not telling him that, as that would make him even more conceited..." Lin Mengran raised her head, her eyes a bit confused as she looked at Chuxia, "Have you ever questioned your feelings for Division Commander Zhou?"
Chuxia’s expression turned serious: "Girl, you’re not usually such a sensitive person. It’s just a little disagreement, why elevate the issue so much?"
"No..." After hesitating and taking a look toward the kitchen, seeing everyone busy with their own things and no one paying attention to them, Lin Mengran said, "I only made this unnecessary confession because Zuo Jiang has been getting really close to Xiao Shumei from Class Three recently. You know, Xiao Shumei is prettier than me and comes from a good family. Honestly, I don’t have the confidence to compete with her."
After thinking for a while, Chuxia said, "Zuo Jiang isn’t that kind of person, maybe you misunderstood something?"
"Chuxia, you know my personality; I’m not the sensitive, suspicious type at all. If even I can feel it, then others must be aware of it too. I’ve been wondering why every time we leave Class Three, they purposefully speed up the pace. It wasn’t until I caught Zuo Jiang and Xiao Shumei laughing and talking together that I understood. They were probably trying to prevent me from running into Xiao Shumei.
The fact is, later, Xiao Shumei approached me. She said she believes she and Zuo Jiang are much more suitable than him and I are and suggested I let go sooner rather than later to avoid hurting myself and others.
She and Zuo Jiang have known each other since childhood. Both families have been hoping they would end up together. She even enrolled in the Medical University to be with Zuo Jiang. She said if she had not arrived later, I wouldn’t have gotten this far with Zuo Jiang.
At first, I didn’t believe it, but when I asked Zuo Jiang if he and Xiao Shumei were childhood sweethearts, he admitted it. So, that means what Xiao Shumei said was true.
Chuxia, I’m actually really angry with Zuo Jiang. Clearly, he already has someone he likes; why did he agree to be with me? But, I don’t dare to bring it up with him because if I do, we really might not be together anymore.
The others don’t know I’ve already asked Zuo Jiang about it. They still think they’re keeping it from me successfully, and I don’t have the courage to tell them.
It’s obvious even just thinking with one’s toes; if I mention it, they will definitely want me to break up with Zuo Jiang and go confront him about it, but that would mean there’s no chance left for me and Zuo Jiang.
I despise my own cowardice. If it were in the past, knowing someone else could endure so much, I’d be the first to look down on them. But now that it’s happening to me, I have absolutely no courage to face it.
