Absolutely Spoiled - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Tingyu x Luobai 2

“It seems I’m not good enough to make you fall in love with you, so I’ll disappear from your life.” It was what she said to him three years ago.

So, for the following three years, she avoided looking for him, ignored his news, and acted as if that person never existed.

She acted the same in college as she did in high school: she didn’t communicate with others actively. As she did in high school, she kept herself for herself and became a bookworm.

She had no idea how long such tranquil days could last, but she didn’t anticipate the first day she saw Shen Luobai again to break her resolve after so many days and nights.

The already frozen heart was coming back to life.

She said, “Shen Luobai, you shouldn’t help me.” Hidden message: If you help me, I shall fall in love with you again.

Shen Luobai pursed his lips slightly. He could see clearly that Wen Tingyu’s eyes were filled with determination, exactly like… many years before.

Her parents got divorced when Wen Tingyu was in high school, and it was a hard blow for her.

When her father brought her stepmother into the home after her mother’s death, she was more dissatisfied with her father’s behaviour and had a disagreement with him. But her father persisted in allowing the stepmother to stay at home, so she ran away from home.

Although her mind was a mess at that time, she was wise enough not to run somewhere randomly. Taking advantage of the summer vacation, she moved to her grandparents’ hometown.

Her grandparents lived in a village. They were not short of money, but as they liked the peaceful life in the rural environment, the old couple settled there. They built a three-story house full of facilities there.

When Wen Tingyu returned to the village with her suitcase, her grandparents were not present, so she used her key to open the door and enter.

Wen Tingyu sat with Yu Zhiyi and drank some wine. The beer in the hotel seemed to be mixed with water, and when she left, her mind was clear.

She told Yu Zhiyi that she tried to express her feelings to Shen Luobai but had been rejected.

“Tingyu, don’t say anything; I also have a crush on you…” Yu Zhiyi tried to coax her heartbroken friend.

‘How could it be the same?’ Wen Tingyu sighed. ‘Yu Zhiyi’s favourite person adored her and would never allow her to experience any grievances from childhood to adulthood. However, the person I like is distant and uncaring. Even if I defy my nervousness and muster the strength to confess to him, the outcome will be negative.’

She also understood that she was willing to endure and could not blame others for her misfortune.

After finishing the college entrance exam, the group of friends went on a tour, and they climbed Mount Huashan.

The mountain path was extremely steep, and the people should be very careful.

Some people didn’t need to pay much attention to climbing the mountain as there were others to protect them, but Wen Tingyu was different. Therefore, she moved forward on her own and did not ask for help from anyone along the way.

“What do you want to eat?” Wen Tingyu asked her father.

“I like everything my daughter cooks!” Although Wen Bin married Ren Xin despite Wen Tingyu’s objection, he really loved his daughter.

Wen Bin’s operation timing has been confirmed as three days later.Wen Tingyu spent more time in the hospital recently, visiting the ward and Dr. Zhao’s office to learn about her father’s condition.

Dr. Zhao was extremely confident in this operation, which put the family at ease.

Wen Tingyu was carrying her lunch box and getting ready to head home when she saw Shen Luobai, who was leaving work. She rushed after him, “Shen Luobai.”

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Shen Luobai stopped walking.

Seeing that, Wen Tingyu became happy. “Oh, should I call you Doctor Shen now?” she teased him deliberately.

Shen Luobai looked serious as he spoke, “I’m just a student.”

He was still an intern and couldn’t be called a doctor.

“Are you interning with Dr. Zhao?”

“…”

“Then Dr. Zhao will perform surgery on my dad. Will you participate in it?”

Shen Luobai answered concisely, “Yes.”

He took advantage of every opportunity to intern at the hospital beginning in his freshman year. During his sophomore year, he attended almost every week.

“Oh, I feel relieved when you are here.”

“…” Shen Luobai halted and reminded her, “I’m just an intern.”

After entering the operating room, he was not supposed to participate in the operating process. He just watched and leaned.

Wen Tingyu purposefully ignored the connotation of his remarks and gazed at him calmly. “But I believe you.”

As the two headed the same way, the two took the same subway.

Neither of them were talkative, so they were silent all the way until they were almost at the station. Wen Tingyu deliberately brushed past Shen Luobai and whispered in his ear, “When my father’s surgery is successful, I will prepare a big gift for you.”
