Chapter 1278: Chapter 1312: I’m Sick, and It’s Serious

Her cousin’s current situation has persisted for a long time, so she knows that mental afflictions need to be treated with mental remedies.

“I’m fine.” Zhao Xuemo nodded weakly, then looked deeply at Lin Zifeng and said lightly, “You can go now.”

“Since I’m already here, why are you in such a hurry to send me away?” Lin Zifeng stood quietly without moving, observing through his perspective eyes. Zhao Xuemo indeed didn’t have any physical illness, but Lin Zifeng truly couldn’t cure mental illness.

“Cousin, don’t be like this. Do you know I’ve been waiting at Tianyu Group for a long time? And today I finally managed to meet my brother-in-law, you two still haven’t had a good chat, and you want to send him away.”

Zhao Xiaoshi was getting anxious too, she had been very concerned about her cousin’s matters lately.

Now that the person is here, if Lin Zifeng were to leave just like that, wouldn’t all her efforts be in vain?

“I’m fine, there’s nothing wrong with me, you don’t need to do this. I just want to be alone and quiet for a while. You guys should leave.” Zhao Xuemo felt that in her current state, she had no face to meet him. Some things aren’t meant to be forced, so she’d rather give up than pursue relentlessly.

“But…” Zhao Xiaoshi wanted to say something, but in the end, she held back and gave Lin Zifeng a look, “Brother-in-law, it’s all up to you now.” With that, she left with pursed pink lips, feeling disappointed.

Now it was just the two of them left in the room, and Lin Zifeng said nothing.

He casually picked up an empty wine bottle from the floor and then slowly walked over to Zhao Xuemo, sitting down beside her.

Zhao Xuemo’s spirited and bright eyes continued to stare blankly at Lin Zifeng, unsure of what he intended to do.

“Gulp gulp gulp…” Without another word, Lin Zifeng picked up the bottle and drank it up, still some leftover wine inside.

“You…” Zhao Xuemo just stared blankly at him drinking it.

“Tsk tsk, the wine is not bad, but something is missing.” After drinking, Lin Zifeng smacked his lips in appreciation.

“Clang…”

The wine bottle hit the ground with a crisp sound but didn’t shatter.

“Gulp gulp gulp…”

Immediately, Lin Zifeng picked up another bottle with remaining wine and started drinking again.

“Clang…”

After finishing, he still showed no intention of stopping, trying to drink up all the remaining wine in the bottles on the ground.

“What are you doing!”

Zhao Xuemo suddenly got anxious, snatching the bottle from his hand.

“What are you trying to do, drinking like this, can you handle it?”

“Why can’t I handle it? You, as a woman, can drink this much, why can’t I handle it?” Lin Zifeng looked at her grinningly, pulling out cigarettes from his pocket, lighting up five of them at once, and started puffing smoke.

“What are you doing?!”

Zhao Xuemo, in pain, snatched the cigarette from his mouth. Her face was full of distress.

“Why are you doing this, do you think by doing so, I can feel a bit better?”

“Has your mood been bad all this time?” Lin Zifeng seriously asked back.

“Why should I tell you! Who are you to me, anyway?” Zhao Xuemo was almost in tears. At this moment, her always mature and composed self could no longer maintain her previous calm composure.

Her fiancé was about to return, and her life was about to make a huge turn with Lin Zifeng, who was just a passerby in her life.

“Although I’m nothing to you, as a friend, I don’t want to see you like this right now. Calm down! Anything bothersome, you can tell me. Would the always mature and composed Zhao Xuemo really be defeated by a little setback right now?!”

With that said, Lin Zifeng’s emotions also became a bit agitated.

As a friend, Lin Zifeng sincerely hoped Zhao Xuemo would have a great life.

“But do you understand? Can you understand this feeling?”

Zhao Xuemo cried, “You simply don’t understand, you’re not me, you don’t understand how I feel!”

“But you can tell me!” Lin Zifeng held her in his arms and whispered in her feverish ear, “Whatever it is, as long as you tell me, I, Lin Zifeng, will do whatever I can to help you, even with my life!”

“…”

Zhao Xuemo was stunned, her tears stopped flowing.

“Although there have always been some misunderstandings between us, none of that matters. What matters is, you are my friend! I, Lin Zifeng, am also your only trusted friend, and as friends, your business is my business. I don’t want you to become so vulnerable because of a small setback, so easily defeated. Your life is long, if you can’t even get past this hurdle, then what about in the future? Do you plan to abandon yourself to despair in this way later on?”

While saying these things, Lin Zifeng didn’t know if he was just being overly imaginative, but he was speaking almost as if he was someone with life experience.

But after saying these things, even Lin Zifeng was dumbfounded.

Damn! Turns out I can speak so articulately. Not applying to the performing arts hosting department in this lifetime, now that’s another genius wasted.

“Lin Zifeng, if I told you everything, would you still treat me this way?”

Zhao Xuemo looked at him affectionately, despite the strands of hair covering half her face in a mess, it couldn’t truly cover up the mature and charming aura of Zhao Xuemo.

“I would! I definitely would!” This guy grinned, apparently everything he just said seemed pretty effective.

“Alright then. Today I, Zhao Xuemo, am putting it all out there. No matter if anyone calls me shameless, I just want to meet the person who understands me best in my prime years. If I don’t go wild now, I might not have the chance later.”

“Speak, I’m all ears.” Lin Zifeng nodded with satisfaction, and from his unabashed rhetoric earlier, Zhao Xuemo’s downcast emotions were clearly much better now.

Zhao Xuemo pursed her lips, her round eyes darted slightly, then she reached out her hands, cupping Lin Zifeng’s firm face, gently stroking it.

She seriously gazed at his familiar and so near face.

“Uh—” Lin Zifeng’s mouth twitched slightly, his sneaky eyes darted around, why did it feel so weird for Zhao Xuemo to touch him like that?

Did he think too much? No! Uh, alright, it must be me overthinking it.

“Actually, you know? The reason I’m in this situation, it’s not because of my fiancé’s arrival that I’m sad, I just can’t let go of you. If he comes back, I can completely reject him. As long as I, Zhao Xuemo, don’t want it, no one can force me, but. If I refused him and chose you, I’m not confident you could accept me, you’re so excellent, I’m afraid I don’t deserve you…”

“Clang!”

The wine bottle in Lin Zifeng’s hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

His mouth nearly formed into two sausages, and with fish-like eyes bulging, his expression was as pitiful as could be.

His heart was utterly thundered by Zhao Xuemo’s words, thumping like a drum…

Finally, after smacking his lips, he regained a bit of composure.

“So uh, Minister Zhao, could we not joke around? I have an illness, and it’s not mild. You scared me so much, I could kick the bucket at any moment!”
