Chapter 1073: Chapter 1097: Many Confusions
Shi Nuan said goodbye to Nianyang, only to be blocked by Chu Zhan at the door. The manâs gaze was icy, staring into her eyes, "Youâre not planning to say anything to me, just leaving like this?"
Shi Nuan bit her lip and slowly said, "Chu Zhan, Iâm sorry."
"Sorry? Sorry for what?" Chu Zhan stepped forward, his tall figure cast in light, engulfing her completely. His voice was deep, "You could have explained the reason and apologized to He Huixi to stay. Why canât you do it? Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Shi Nuan pursed her lips, "I didnât do anything wrong, why should I apologize?"
Chu Zhan took a deep breath, "Yes, youâre not wrong, but now youâve been driven away. We agreed to be together, but now, to maintain your pride, youâre just abandoning me..."
"Say whatever you want." Shi Nuan rubbed her temples, "Chu Zhan, Iâm very tired, I donât want to argue. If you feel you canât understand me and resent me, maybe weâre really not suitable for each other. Letâs just forget it."
"Are you going to be an ostrich and avoid it again?" Chu Zhanâs forehead veins bulged as he suddenly reached out and pressed Shi Nuan against his chest, biting down viciously on her lips, tasting the metallic taste of blood. He spoke with brutal decisiveness, "Forget it, donât even think about it. Since you want to escape, then letâs do it together. With you gone, being a coach has no meaning for me. Iâm quitting too."
"Chu Zhan, donât be reckless." Shi Nuan, ignoring the pain at the corner of her mouth, urgently grabbed Chu Zhanâs sleeve.
Chu Zhan gently caressed her face, "Iâm not being reckless, Iâm very clear-headed. Shi Nuan, I donât know what youâre thinking, but since you have so many concerns, I can only go along with you. As the husband follows the wife, Iâll go with you."
"You..."
Shi Nuanâs eyes widened in shock, hearing her heart tremble, her eyes quickly reddening.
Chu Zhan sneered, "Whatâs there to cry for, werenât you pretty tough when you hit people? Shi Nuan, let me tell you, I said youâre not alone. Whatever decision you make, you have to consider me. If you donât consider me, then go ahead and be as willful as you like. Iâm following you. My future is in your hands, itâs up to you."
Shi Nuan quietly said, "You donât have to do this, you should stay. I can manage on my own."
"No, you canât." Chu Zhan took a step back, looking into her eyes with a clear smile, "My sister told me that being firmly chosen by someone is true love. Have you never been firmly chosen, always feeling insecure, always thinking youâre alone? From now on, you are my firmest choice. Go home and rest now. Once Iâve sorted things out here, Iâll come to formally propose to your family."
Shi Nuan heard herself say okay.
Nianyang felt a surge of emotions that needed immediate release.
She mustered all her strength to return to the dormitory, encountering the two girls who had come back. She glanced at Jian Qingqing sitting on the bed applying sunscreen, then said to the two girls, "You two, go out. I have something to say to Qingqing."
The two girls saw Nianyangâs murderous expression and were too scared to speak, silently lowered their heads, and walked out...
