Chapter 173 It's Been Weird Lately

"Whatever, anything." Murong Xue sat down and said.

Chu Yisen gave her water because after he had asked, he found that it was bad to drink coffee or tea at night. He gave her a glass of water. "Water."

"Yisen, I..." Murong Xue laid down her head and seemed to think of a way to talk. Ever since the other day, she was still nervous and didn't know how to get along with Chu Yisen.

Chu Yisen sat next to her. There was silence for a while and he said, "Xue, you might not know, since the first day I met you, I've seen sunshine from you which was so warm. When we got along, I found you cuter... Xue, I love you... I... Wouldn't it be me?"

Murong Xue was nervous by his glance. His honest eyes made her embarrassed, "Yisen, sorry, I... I don't have the same feelings. I don't love you..." Then she laid down her head and wouldn't dare to look at him.

Chu Yisen grabbed her hand and was surprised by the soft touching. He did love her, "Xue, it's okay that you don't love me. Let me take care of you, okay?"

Murong Xue looked up surprisingly and was shocked by his deep eyes and then she looked away. She was surprised by his feelings and was afraid to hurt his feelings, "Yisen, no. We're impossible... I'm not perfect... You know it. I and Shangguan Mo..." Murong Xue took her hand back, turned around, and decided not to look at him...

Shangguan Mo was like a wound in her heart, which would never heal, so she decided not to love anymore. How could she drag Chu Yisen to this love hell? Now he might be sad but at least he wouldn't be hurt. It would hurt him if she accepted him but didn't love him...

Chu Yisen came forward and held her, "Xue, it was all past... Don't you understand? I only care about you..." His rough voice flew into her ears...

There was warm breath she could feel on her neck and his voice was like a spell which made her have some feelings, but she knew it wasn't love. "Sorry, Yisen. I can't accept you..." She got rid of his hug.

It seemed to be a habit that she always depended on him, and even his hug made her irresistible. But she knew it wasn't love, but more like a rebound after her heart was broken. It was her fault to be closer to him, which hurt him. She wouldn't be a coward anymore. Warm hugs weren't her home...

After being refused, Chu Yisen sat on the chair helplessly. It didn't work. He begged her like that but she didn't respond... There was no place for him in her heart... He was so jealous of Shangguan Mo. Even if they were separated, he still left indelible marks in her heart, and someone later wouldn’t shake it...

Murong Xue felt sorry. She didn't love him, but Chu Yisen was her important friend and she treasured their friendship...

Chu Yisen cried. Murong Xue, who was looking at him, was shocked by his tears. She immediately walked towards him and held him gently, "Yisen... I..." There were moments she even wanted to accept him and spent the rest of her life with him. But she didn't. It was sympathy, not love. She was afraid she might hurt him...

Chu Yisen held her tightly. He didn't want this to be so awkward, but he couldn't help it... He was holding his precious treasure. He was hurt but couldn't help staying around her...

He had known she didn't love him and never hoped that. All he wanted was a reason to stay around her and to take care of her for the rest of her life. She never gave him hope and now, she didn't even hesitate to refuse him...

He was shaking while holding her and his tears fell into her shoulder. Murong Xue was in pain. The one who hurt Chu Yisen was his best friend, herself, not anyone else...

After a long time, Chu Yisen calmed himself down, "Xue, take a rest. I'm okay. Sorry for you to see me like that..." He let go of her and was emotionless. He seemed to be fine...

Murong Xue still froze and there were distressed feelings in her eyes. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything...

Chu Yisen stretched his hand, blocked her eyes, and said in low voice, "Xue, don't look at me like that... I couldn't help..." He couldn't help holding her. He paused and then continued, "Xue, I'm going back to the capital tomorrow. There is something in the company..." He was going to talk about it tonight, but he didn't know why he brought the other night up...

"Okay. You go back... Sorry for taking so much time..." Murong Xue said with guilt.

Her manner hurt him even more, "Xue, aren't we friends anymore? You're being so polite..."

"Yisen, I didn't mean it..." Murong Xue shook her hands with panic.

Chu Yisen felt terrible seeing her so panic, "Sorry for my tone, Xue..."

"No, you're being kind and tender to me. You're always my most important friend. I'm going home. Take a rest..." Murong Xue stood up and said gently.

"Okay, you, too." Chu Yisen smiled bitterly.

Murong Xue was hurt. She opened her mouth but didn't say anything again. She went out and went back to her room.

After she was in her room, she was just sitting there and didn't know what to do. She couldn't get Chu Yisen's sad face out of her head. She didn't know how things ended up like this. It would have been better if she had fallen in love with him in the first place. But there was no if, and people couldn't fight against their feelings...

She didn't know if Shangguan Mo still thought of her and what they had been through, or he just forgot all about her and fell in love with Bai Xueli...

She didn't think of going back for him or begging for love. What was hers would always be hers and what wasn't would never be, and their problem wasn't love. Love changed like a worm came out of fresh fruits and the fruits would never be sweet again...

Not knowing how long passed, the bell of her room rang. Murong Xue got up to open the door. She thought it would be Chu Yisen, but she didn't expect Huangfu Yi to be here.

"Yii, why are you here...?" Murong Xue asked dully.

Huangfu Yi looked at her and said, "Come with me." He held her hand and walked outside.

"Where?" Murong Xue almost fell into ground. Luckily, Huangfu Yi saw and held her.

"Go to sleep..." Huangfu Yi said.

Murong Xue was speechless.

After she realized what happened, she was already in the car. Long Yi was still the driver. He greeted her when she got in the car, "Miss Murong."

Then he drove fast, and Murong Xue didn't get the chance to say no.

Murong Xue was speechless and saw slippers and pajamas she was wearing. Her hair was messy...

She looked at Huangfu Yi who was holding her and said helplessly, "Yii, at least let me change my clothes."

"It's okay. No one will see you..." Huangfu Yi said.

What? What about Long Yi? But she could only say this in her mind, "How can I go out like this...?" It was her first time going out looking like this. People would laugh at her if they saw her...

"I'll have some delivered. I've been waiting for you all day, and you didn't call me..." He said with complaint...

When did he say he was waiting for her to call? Why would she call him? But she didn't ask because it was impossible for him to understand, "Where are we going?"

"Going back to base."

"Why?"

"To sleep. I told you." He said with a little contempt to her.

She didn’t want to go. They couldn't get along for sure!

She twitched her mouth and said, "Why will you take me when you sleep...?"

"I can't fall asleep without hugging you..." Huangfu Yi said like it was the rule.

Was she a pillow to him? He really needed to see a doctor. She couldn't always be there when he couldn't sleep. If he had a wife and he couldn't fall asleep and he dragged her who wasn't his real sister, what would his wife think...?

But seeing Huangfu Yi looking like everything was supposed to be like this, he wouldn't understand her words. God, she had to make him see a therapist. His dependence on her might form in the capital and therapists might know what to do...

Long Yi who was driving almost laughed out loud. God knew the impression Mr. Dragon gave him. He thought of what Mr. Dragon asked him about.

This afternoon, Huangfu Yi looked serious and frowned, "Long Yi, here are some problems."

Long Yi thought it was some serious problems like some countries fighting against each other or some financial problems. He also looked serious and waited for the call, "Mr. Dragon, please tell me. I'll do anything I can to help you."

"What is love? What can I do to let Xue fall in love with me?" Huangfu Yi said in confusion.

It was hard for Long Yi not to reveal his inappropriate behavior and asked him in surprise, "What?" Was he deaf or blind? Did he hear it wrong? Right, he must hear it wrong. But Huangfu Yi talked about Xue. Was Xue a country?

Huangfu Yi seemed to be in a good mood and didn't mind Long Yi's misbehaviors and said with confusion, "Long Yi, I've been feeling weird and uncomfortable..."

Long Yi changed his look because Mr. Dragon's health was a really important thing, more important than state affairs. Huangfu Yi had a monthly health check, so normally there wouldn't be problems. Was it because of the brain damage last time? At that time, Long Yi had millions of thoughts and said furiously while his face changed, "I'll call the Dragon Doctor."

"Not necessary. Not that kind of uncomfortable feelings..." Huangfu Yi prevented Long Yi.

"Then what?" Long Yi asked nervously.

"Might be my heart, feeling weird..." Huangfu Yi touched his heart and said.

Heart? Heart disease? Long Yi looked pale like death. "Mr. Dragon, I have to call the Dragon Doctor."

Huangfu Yi stopped Long Yi and said, "And down there..." He told how he was uncomfortable when he held Murong Xue this morning...

Long Yi was shocked and didn't know how to react... Mr. Dragon fell in love... And he didn't even know...

He thought Mr. Dragon had never been near a woman and no one told him about this kind of things and it seemed to be normal for him not to know this kind of things... Mr. Dragon didn’t need to contact all kinds of people like them. Mr. Dragon was so elegant that they were willing to follow him and do dirty works for him so he didn't get his hands dirty...
