Chapter 395: Chapter 396: Relationship Crisis 8
Nianyang looked at him with a numb expression, feeling overwhelmed, unable to believe that Lu Chi had liked her so early.
At this moment, her mood could be described with a popular phrase from the future â
I thought of you as a brother, but you actually wanted to "sun" me?
"Um, um..." Nianyang cleared her throat awkwardly and said,
"Doctor Lu, maybe you really drank too much and your brain is muddled..."
Lu Chi suddenly took a step forward, "Nianyang, I told you I am very clear-headed now. In our previous life, we missed each other, and now we finally have the chance of rebirth.
Donât you think this is a sign from the heavens for us? In this world, we understand each other the best.
So, could you break off with Li Tingyan and be with me?"
"Doctor Lu, calm down!" Nianyang straightened her face, looking at him with clear eyes, and replied decisively, "Thank you very much for your affection, and I am sorry to have ignored your feelings all along.
But whether it was Yu Nan in the previous life or Lu Chi in this life, you will always be my good friend in my heart; I feel nothing for you!"
Lu Chi seemed to hear the sound of his heart breaking, blood running in his chest, he roared vehemently,
"No way, how could you have no feelings for me? We have known each other for so long. When I was infected with the virus, everyone gave up on me, but you, unafraid of life and death, saved me..."
"Because I am a doctor!" Nianyang said word by word, "Saving lives is my duty; you are also a doctor, you understand this principle. Even if it wasnât you infected with the virus, but someone else, I would still save them. This has nothing to do with love, it is only about responsibility!"
Like the last straw being crushed, the light in Lu Chiâs eyes dimmed,
"Did I come too late? If I had appeared earlier, would you have been with me then..."
"Doctor Lu, donât you understand?" Nianyang shook her head,
"As you said, we have known each other for so many years. Why donât I like you but have fallen for Li Tingyan, whom Iâve known for only six months?
Because love, ah, is such a hard-to-grasp thing. Itâs not about timing, itâs about whether thereâs a connection between us; we are impossible!"
"Also, what you just said is wrong. I think this is not heavenâs chance for us to be together; rather, itâs heavenâs redemption for us.
To let me find true love, and let you free from the obsession of the past life, to seek your true destined woman!"
Lu Chi felt as if his heart was cut by a knife,
"Nianyang, whatâs wrong with me? Whatever you like about Li Tingyan, I can learn..."
"Thereâs nothing wrong with you; itâs just that I donât love you. I love Li Tingyan for who he is, his unique qualities. He is the one and only Li Tingyan in this world!"
Though it was cruel, Nianyang was not one to drag things out; she needed to lay it out.
If Li Tingyan could reject all ambiguity for her, then she couldnât show mercy just because Lu Chi was her friend.
"Alright, I understand!" Lu Chi silently clenched his fist, "Nianyang, may I hug you? Just to commemorate our friendship over two lifetimes..."
Nianyang was stunned. To be honest, if she were single, hugging between friends would be perfectly normal. But the problem is she wasnât, so she shook her head to refuse.
Yet Lu Chi seemed unable to see Nianyangâs shaking head and directly reached out to hug her, causing Nianyangâs body to stiffen.
The next second, someone suddenly grabbed Nianyangâs arm and pulled her back forcefully.
