Chapter 1119: You Don't Care About Me

Lu Zhenzhen’s face turned pale.

At this moment, she finally understood what he was so upset about.

“I…

how did I not treat you as a person?”

“Bo Yanching had a car accident, and the first thing you did was to find Yaen Chi and pick up Nan Jiaojiao.

You didn’t even let me know.

If it weren’t for a friend seeing you, I wouldn’t have known you were at the accident scene.

When you arrived, you jumped out of the car and ran into the fire scene.

Do you know how that made me feel?”

Lu Zhenzhen fell silent.

Gao Zhe waited for her to speak, but she didn’t.

His eyes, dark as ink, pressed with more shadow, his tone dispassionate: “That was a fire scene.

Do you have any idea how precious your life is?

If something happened to you, did you ever think of what I would do?”

Lu Zhenzhen hurriedly said, “There were firefighters at the scene, nothing would happen to me.”

“What if?” Gao Zhe hypothesized, “What if no one was watching you?”

The words “nothing would” were at the tip of her tongue, but she couldn’t say them.

The situation at that time was chaotic, and anything could have happened.

How unfortunate that in her moment of impulsiveness, Gao Zhe had to see it.

Gao Zhe’s face turned somber, “I’m really curious.

Am I not in your heart at all?

Do you just take my presence for granted and feel it’s okay to hurt me?

I should just accept it, be generous, considerate, and understand your many friends.

Wait for you, time and time again, to handle everyone else’s matters before you spare me a glance?”

“Is that it?”

Lu Zhenzhen gazed at Gao Zhe’s heavy and cold expression, feeling inexplicably bitter.

That bitterness seemed to grow tendrils, quickly spreading throughout her body, especially her chest, suffocating her.

She seemed,

really to be as he described.

Gao Zhe gave a self-deprecating smile, “Go to sleep, tonight I’ll sleep in the guest room.”

He walked out, without looking back, his hand on the doorknob, and closed the door behind him.

The cold wind gusting through the gap hit her, and Lu Zhenzhen, late in realization, suddenly seemed to wake up.

She hurriedly got out of bed to chase after him, but the bed was too high and she lost footing, twisting her ankle as she landed, gasping in pain.

She almost immediately wanted Gao Zhe to come back, to hold her and let her act spoiled in his arms.

But she knew, this wasn’t something that could be brushed off casually.

From childhood till now, he had never been this angry.

Perhaps, it’s better to wait, and then talk to him properly.

Late at night.

The hospital wasn’t peaceful.

Xu Shu had a sleep first, allowing Yaen Chi to come in and rest while he went outside to get some air.

Who knew when he opened the door, he’d see Nan Jiaojiao standing in the corridor with a cup of milk tea in her hand.

It had ice in it, seemingly not much drunk, as the ice cubes inside the milk tea were barely visible, while beads of water covered the plastic cup.

“Awake?” Xu Shu opened his mouth.

Nan Jiaojiao replied, “Two hours of sleep is enough.”

Xu Shu pointed at her milk tea, “You have injuries on your hand; drink less iced stuff.

Especially at this late hour, milk tea doesn’t aid sleep.”

“Mm.”

Nan Jiaojiao placed the milk tea on the window sill, “I know, I just wanted a few sips.”

Xu Shu knew she had this habit, so he didn’t stop her, “If you want to drink, go ahead, one cup isn’t a big deal.”

Nan Jiaojiao lowered her eyes halfway, “Did you come out to smoke?”

Xu Shu was taken aback and smiled, “I rarely smoke, and didn’t bring cigarettes.

I just came out for some fresh air.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t have much to talk about with him.

Even if there was anything, it would revolve around Bo Yanching, which was the topic she least wanted to bring up now.

After exchanging a few words, she went back inside.

Later in the night, Bo Yanching indeed developed a fever.
