CHAPTER 562: 499 HE IS THAT KIND OF PERSON, BUT I REALLY FELL FOR HIM.

Song Lili blinked upon hearing this explanation, looking a bit dazed herself.

"Who told you... he wouldn’t cherish you?"

"He’s just that kind of person. He’s dated so many girlfriends before, and it’s been the same with nearly every single one! As soon as he gets what he wants, he doesn’t like them anymore..."

"Pfft... Xiaoer..."

Song Lili really didn’t know what to say.

Previously, when Zhongli Wuzhi had come to complain about Lu Xiaoer refusing to accept him, she had thought that it was more likely that Zhongli Wuzhi was spreading rumors. She hadn’t expected it to be true.

"So you think his liking for you is just because he wants to get you? Because he hasn’t gotten you yet, he’s been staying by your side?"

"That’s just how he is!"

Lu Xiaoer was truly crying her heart out, especially when she said those words, her tone filled with despair and helplessness.

"If that’s the kind of person he is, why are you so heartbroken?"

"Lili..."

"Mhm..."

"But I really do like him... sob sob sob... I genuinely like him..."

"..."

Hearing Lu Xiaoer speak her genuine feelings, Song Lili’s heart ached along with her; this young girl was just too pitiful.

"Sob sob sob... I want him to stay by my side, but what if... if we were to have a relationship... and then he didn’t want me anymore, what would I do... just like now, he says he doesn’t want me anymore... sob sob sob..."

"He doesn’t not want you. You two have a misunderstanding. Find a time to clear it up, and it’ll be okay."

"It’s all his fault, from start to finish it’s all his fault. How can I lower my head... sob sob..."

Song Lili pursed her lips, gently patting Lu Xiaoer on the back,

"Actually, you and Zhongli Wuzhi are alike. You both are very proud people, proud like peacocks."

"..."

"Xiaoer, during the time you were dating Zhongli, you have always been proud, dignified. It was Zhongli Wuzhi who had set aside his pride to dote on you."

Lu Xiaoer’s eyes brimmed with tears...

"Look, I’m not speaking for Zhongli Wuzhi, I’m just making an objective comment from the perspective of an outsider."

Song Lili helped Lu Xiaoer sit up straight.

"Originally I didn’t want to meddle with you and Zhongli Wuzhi’s affairs because I saw that you were in a good state today, and I also always believed that your judgment was much more accurate and wiser than mine."

Song Lili said seriously,

"But now it seems, you’re not as strong and composed as you appear to be."

"Have you ever seen someone who can be strong and composed after a breakup? Isn’t it all an act... If others can pretend, so can I! Waaah..."

Lu Xiaoer cried harder than she had at any time before, but Song Lili really couldn’t bring herself to feel upset this time.

Just the expression on Lu Xiaoer’s face was enough to make her laugh for a long time.

"I thought you were much more mature and rational than me! Now it seems, you’re not."

Song Lili mused.

"You’re talking nonsense! Have you forgotten how you were acting like you were about to die when you and Wen Nian broke up? You joined the army on a whim!"

"..." What does she mean ’on a whim’? What on earth did this girl usually think of her?

"Besides, I already told you not to let Zhongli Wuzhi come up, but did you listen! You’re just setting me up, I took you as a best friend, and all you do is betray me!"

"Stop stop stop, you’re about to say things you shouldn’t."

Song Lili hurriedly covered Lu Xiaoer’s mouth, but even with her mouth covered, the girl was still staring wide-eyed, wailing something.

After she quieted down a bit and her emotions seemed to have settled somewhat, Song Lili continued,

"Regarding that Director Song from your hospital, it’s definitely Zhongli Wuzhi’s fault."

"Of course it’s his fault! Song Jing still hasn’t gotten the bandages off her hands, and there are rumors all over the hospital about her being transferred. I’m a doctor too, and if one day I can’t perform surgery because of an injury to my hands, I’d truly want to die."

Lu Xiaoer became agitated when talking about Song Jing.

"Right, I understand, but what’s done is done, and the damage has already been inflicted. What you should think about now, both you and Zhongli, is how to make amends, or if there’s a way to heal Director Song’s hand completely. Logically speaking, since this Doctor Song Jing is so talented, the hospital’s first reaction should be to try to heal her hand, not to immediately transfer her, right?"

"After all, in the current medical environment, true talents are fiercely protected by the hospitals."

Lu Xiaoer sniffled,

"I know that, and I’ve thought about it. If there’s a chance to completely heal Song Jing’s hand, I’ll definitely do everything I can."

"That’s the spirit, I believe Zhongli Wuzhi also sincerely wants to express his apologies, but your attitude is crucial."

"... He has sincerity? He says he regrets not having killed Song Jing directly!"

"Having been with Zhongli Wuzhi for so long, don’t you know when he’s being honest and when he’s just talking out of anger?"

"I..."

"Look, put the issue of Zhongli Wuzhi hurting Song Jing aside for now. Right and wrong are clear."

"... Mhm."

Lu Xiaoer obediently sat.

"Now I ask you, have you been deliberately neglecting Zhongli Wuzhi these past few days?"

"That’s not deliberate neglect. He said I was too busy with work to spend time with him, but that’s just the nature of my job. He’s not a child, to repeatedly complain about such a thing, it’s annoying."

"So... you deliberately neglected him."

"If you say it’s so, then it must be."

"Xiaoer, I believe Zhongli absolutely supports you in studying medicine one hundred percent, but just like what Zhongli Wuzhi said, if one person truly cares about another, truly likes another, the one being cared for, being liked, can definitely feel it."

"..."

"Just like you, Lu Xiaoer, a staunch singleton, it’s precisely because you felt Zhongli Wuzhi’s care and affection for you that you accepted him, right?"

"I like him, and I care about him sincerely too, but I just don’t understand why he can’t feel it..."

Lu Xiaoer muttered, only because she was currently sitting alone with Song Lili did she feel comfortable speaking so much and discussing the matter calmly with Lili.

"You really need to reflect on that."

"..."

"And about Zhongli Wuzhi’s attitude towards Song Jing."

"... How so?"

"Are you sure Song Jing doesn’t have feelings for you?"

"..."

Lu Xiaoer pursed her lips and fell silent.

Song Lili let out a soft sigh, "You know..."

"Indeed, Song Jing is very nice to me and takes good care of me."
