Because Zhong Pei refused to go to the hospital, Sheng Xiangsi had no choice but to buy some medicine from the pharmacy and give him a simple treatment.
"It really doesn't matter?"
Sheng Xiangsi was still worried, "If it hurts the internal organs, it's not a joke."
"It's okay."
Zhong Pei smiled, with a band-aid on the corner of his mouth, looking a little funny. He was a little embarrassed, "You've never beaten Brother Fu, do you think I'm pretty useless?"
ah?
Sheng Xiangsi was stunned, then laughed, "How could it be? What kind of brain circuit do you have? Is hitting people some amazing skill?"
That doesn't seem to be the case.
Zhong Pei pursed his lips and stopped smiling, "I'm just asking for fun, don't take it seriously."
"..."
However, Sheng Xiangsi couldn't help but sigh, confused and worried, "I just said too many words... Zhong Pei, I..."
"I know."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhong Pei took over her words.
"I know you don't really like me, and I don't take it seriously."
He looked at her, his eyes clear and sincere.
"I also want to apologize to you. I'm sorry. I made my own decision without your consent. Don't be angry."
how come?
Is she the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong? It was impossible to accept his help and then blame him later.
Sheng Xiangsi smiled and shook her head, "I'm not angry, I just..."
She didn't know how to explain it.
"It's okay with me."
Having guessed what she was going to say, Zhong Pei couldn't bear to see her in such a difficult situation, so he confessed his thoughts.
"Don't feel pressured. I have to admit that I am helping you, but I do have selfish motives."
"?"
Sheng Xiangsi was surprised. She didn't expect him to be so straightforward and not hide his thoughts at all.
"Zhong Pei, I have said before...we are not suitable."
"I remember this." Zhong Pei smiled and nodded, "But, I don't understand, what is wrong with us?"
Isn't this... obvious enough? One is that she has no family background, but her marriage history...
Zhong Pei thought for a while and asked, "Xiangsi, maybe, do you know Marcus?"
Marcus?
Having lived in Philadelphia for many years, how could Sheng Xiangsi not know? Marcus Jordan, son of basketball star Michael Jordan.
She understood why Zhong Pei mentioned Marcus.
Because Marcus fell in love with Larsa, the ex-wife of his father Jordan's good friend, a divorced woman who was sixteen years older than him and had given birth to four children.
This incident was a sensation at the time.
To this day, when this relationship is mentioned, people still can’t help but sigh...
Zhong Pei said, "Look, Marcus and Larsa don't mind whether they are worthy or not. I don't understand why you think there is such a problem between us?"
Sheng Xiangsi opened her mouth several times, but she didn't know how to refute what she said.
"So, lovesickness."
Zhong Pei curled his lips, "The so-called compatibility is not a reason to prevent two people from being together. Whether two people can be together depends on whether they... love each other."
Without waiting for Sheng Xiangsi to speak, he continued.
"I know that I'm just wishful thinking. You don't mean that to me. Don't worry, I'm really just helping you tonight, and I won't force you to be with me because of this."
In that case, what's the difference between him and Brother Fu?
Having said so much in one breath, Zhong Pei was a little embarrassed, but he didn't flinch in the slightest.
"You need my help, so don't refuse my help, okay?"
Sheng Xiangsi was surprised that he was so sober yet so reckless and enthusiastic.
However, there were some things she had to say.
"I know it's despicable for me to say this, but I am not Larsa, and this is not Philadelphia. There is no way you can get a response for the thought you put into me."
"Then at least I tried."
Zhong Pei shrugged, his eyes blazing, "If I don't even have the courage to work hard for the girl I like, then I don't deserve to talk about 'like'."
Finally, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
…
The next day, while the dance troupe was on lunch break, Sheng Xiangsi went to the hospital, the same hospital where she had taken medicine.
This doctor has a relationship with Yu Huanxi, so he has a certain understanding of her condition and takes good care of her.
When he saw her, he asked, "Have you finished taking the medicine?"
"no."
In fact, she never took those medicines after her affair with Zhao Lianghan came to nothing.
"Then why are you here?" The doctor raised his hand and gestured to her, "Sit down and talk."
"good."
Sheng Xiangsi sat down and expressed her doubts.
"Actually, I didn't take much medicine... Later, my symptoms seemed to be better. As long as it wasn't an aggressive move, my reaction would not be too violent. However, it seems that sometimes, I can't control it..."
"Really? Tell me in detail."
"good."
After hearing what she said, the doctor said, "Looking at what you described, your situation should be improving. In other words, your body can already tell whether the environment is safe or not."
He suggested, "Look, do you want to receive treatment? Maybe it won't be cured?"
treat?
Psychotherapy is a huge expense.
Sheng Xiangsi smiled and declined, "No, thank you, doctor."
"Okay, come to me anytime if you need anything."
"OK, thanks."
After coming out of the hospital, Sheng Xiangsi raised her hands and covered her eyes. One of the reasons why she didn't receive treatment was the cost.
On the other hand, once treated, it is inevitable to recall the past...
No... She never wants to recall those past events in her life...
Five p.m.
Because Sheng Xiangsi has just joined the dance troupe, there are no performances arranged for her yet, and she will be able to get off work at that time.
After changing into her practice clothes, Sheng Xiangsi came out of the dance group, turned around, and prepared to go to the subway station.
"Lovesick!"
Sheng Xiangsi looked back and saw Zhong Pei running towards her with a smile on his face.
"How did you come?"
"I'm here to pick you up from get off work." Zhong Pei still smiled, but said abruptly, "Don't look around, just look at me."
Um? Sheng Xiangsi was surprised, "What's wrong?"
"Second Brother Fu's car is parked at the intersection."
What? Sheng Xiangsi's heart skipped a beat. Is Fu Hanjiang... still unwilling to give up?
Zhong Pei took two steps closer and bent down slightly. Looking from a distance, the two of them seemed to be touching each other.
He whispered in her ear, "I think Brother Fu probably doesn't believe that we are together."
Although, this is the truth.
"Fortunately, I predicted his prediction."
Zhong Pei grinned, feeling a little proud, "I just wanted to pick you up from get off work and do a full show. Xiangsi, smile and show it to him."
ah?
Sheng Xiangsi didn't want to laugh at first, but when he teased her like this, she couldn't hold it back, "Ha, ha ha..."
Not only did he laugh, he also laughed out loud, very happily.
