Love Healing Manual

Chapter 98 Who's in the Veil?

Every word was so clear, striking into Kitagawa Ayane's heart. Her gaze, which met Suzuo's, began to flicker wildly. After a moment, she silently lowered her head.

If she were truly a frivolous woman who would betray principles for personal gain, then these words would have no effect whatsoever. However, the fact is that she didn't actually want money when she refused Lingxu's request. Similarly, she felt an immense dependence on Lin Ze and had developed complex feelings for him.

But these were the words that Miyagi Suzuo most wanted to say.

She released her emotions without reservation, saying everything that had been bottled up inside her.

This is the fact.

Miyagi Suzuo believes that the senior in front of her is not worthy of being with Lin Ze.

To be honest, the senior student might not be a bad person. Her family's misfortunes and the hardships she faced in life are quite touching; she finally got into the University of Tokyo but couldn't even afford the tuition. But doesn't that just further illustrate how mismatched she is with Lin Ze?

Suzuo Miyagi believes she is helping her senior.

When I was most in need of money, I received this substantial sum of money, and if that wasn't enough, I could even get more. It solved all my current difficulties in life, all at the cost of leaving a guy I'd only known for a few months.

Smart people know how to choose.

Although Suzuo Miyagi's words were somewhat exaggerated, they reflected her true feelings. After all, Lin Ze was so outstanding in her eyes. This wasn't due to an unreasonable filter created by long-term admiration, but rather because from the day she met Lin Ze, throughout high school, he was the most special one.

This special quality has remained unchanged from the past to the present.

Physical defects cannot completely negate the pure pride inherent in Lingxu's personality, but her willing love for Lin Ze shows that even someone as proud as her can be won over. Even she initially felt overshadowed in Lin Ze's presence, let alone others.

But this senior... a poor, penniless girl from a broken family, whose only redeeming quality is her looks, actually said, "I can't live without Lin Ze." What selfish words...

“You don’t understand how to love someone at all,” Miyagi Suzuo clenched her fists, her knuckles turning blue. She whispered, “Loving someone is about sacrifice, about being willing to give everything for them without reservation. It doesn’t matter if you’re ignored for a long time, as long as you’re by their side you feel satisfied. You don’t understand at all.”

Kitagawa Ayane's cheeks gradually turned pale, and her words were far more powerful than her initial condemnation.

She silently turned her face away.

"Maybe I really don't understand. I admit I've been spending a lot of time with him lately, but I just can't help it..."

“Don’t be so selfish! If you really care about him,” Miyagi Suzuo frowned and asked, “Do you know that medical school is a six-year program? Do you know that even after six years, you’ll only be an ordinary doctor after getting your medical license? Do you know what position Lin Ze dreams of reaching? His future is being delayed by someone like you. Don’t you feel ashamed? Ten years of hard work might not even make you a department head. Becoming a department head in twenty years is extremely difficult, but I have a way to shorten that time by several times.”

“Perhaps I’m helping him in another way too? What you see is only what you think. If I had to teach you a lesson, I’ve said enough today. I understand your good intentions, but please stop lecturing me now,” Kitagawa Ayane said, frowning at the same time.

Ayane's words do make sense. For Lin Ze, treating her illness is also for the sake of his future, and there is no emotional connection involved.

What good is the greatest medical talent if the disease is incurable? Would the University of Tokyo Hospital allow a psychiatrist to perform surgery?
That's something even a child could figure out.

It can only be said that Kitagawa Ayane knew she was a little selfish, but this selfishness of dependence coincided with Lin Ze's purpose, so she felt at ease.

She may have given very little, but she certainly didn't give nothing.

“You’re so self-centered,” Miyagi Suzuo said, staring at her.

“Clearly, junior is also an arrogant person,” Kitagawa Ayane replied calmly.

"I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to take the money and leave?"

"I will only take the money that is rightfully mine."

It has to be said that spending a lot of time with your owner will make you resemble them in some ways.

Kitagawa Ayane's behavior at this moment was particularly like Lin Ze's. Even she didn't know why she was like this. Under the subtle influence, her personality also underwent a subtle change.

Kitagawa Ayane stood up and, under Suzuo's gaze, picked up the small stack of banknotes from the table. She even counted the numbers in a very professional manner, muttering "1 yen, 2 yen..." and quickly finished counting the amount.

During that time, Miyagi Suzuo's sharp gaze almost sliced ​​her into minced meat.

But she remained calm and composed.

Just as she was about to put the money into her bag and zip it up, she suddenly felt a gripping sensation around her neck. Miyagi Suzuo unexpectedly reached out, grabbed her collar, and pulled Kitagawa Ayane close.

Their eyes met, and the distance between them seemed to shrink infinitely.

They're so close that even strands of hair can get tangled together.

"Do you want to fight?" Kitagawa Ayane raised her delicate face, pursed her lips, and said defiantly.

"Don't think I wouldn't dare," Miyagi Suzuo said through gritted teeth.

“It’s not illegal for me to hit someone,” Kitagawa Ayane said seriously.

"What a coincidence, no one dares to stop me from hitting people."

The two were in a stalemate for a moment.

The reason no one made the first move was that if a real fight broke out, the side that struck first would definitely suffer.

"Actually, I also have a question I'd like to ask you," Kitagawa Ayane said calmly. "Go ahead."

"If I were willing to pay you a sum of money to leave Linze, how much do you think that sum should be?" Senior Ayane asked softly.

"What a joke!? Can my feelings for him be measured in money?" Miyagi Suzuo said with incomprehension and even sarcasm.

"Then what makes you think that my... can be used as a measure?"

Gradually.

Miyagi Suzuo loosened her grip on the other person's clothes, her strength gone. The anger that had just burned in her eyes subsided with a complex expression, replaced by a thoughtful look.

When she was blinded by love, she naturally assumed that the other person was not worthy of liking Lin Ze.

But it is precisely this humble yet assertive demeanor that makes it possible.

This greatly reduced Miyagi Suzuo's disgust, and she couldn't help but reconsider the extent of the other party's feelings for Lin Ze.

There was silence for a moment.

"Do you really like him?" Suzu asked seriously, arms crossed.

“That’s not true,” Kitagawa Ayane smiled at her. “I’ve already fallen in love with him.”

The anger that Suzuo had just extinguished instantly flared up again.

It's clear that Kitagawa Ayane did this on purpose.

She deliberately said it that way to provoke Miyagi Suzuo.

Who told her to be so aggressive just now? Now it's Ayane's turn to turn the tables.

"Junior, this is a shirt Lin Ze bought for me. Don't pull on my collar next time, or I'll feel bad if you ruin it," she said, feigning pitifulness.

However, Kitagawa Ayane didn't know that the destructive power of her words was ten or even a hundred times greater than she imagined!
Because in the past few years, Miyagi Suzuo had never even held Lin Ze's hand, yet the other party was now wearing clothes that Lin Ze had personally bought for her.

Just a moment.

Miyagi Suzuo's face turned an exaggerated red, her head spinning with anger, as she stared intently at Ayane.

Her constantly rising and falling chest further proved this point.
boom--

The coffee cups and cutlery on the table jumped several centimeters off the table as Miyagi Suzuo slammed her hand on the table.

"If you truly love him, then I want to tell you to be prepared to get hurt, to be prepared to not regret it even if you get hurt a hundred times. That's what true love is."

In a sense.

Miyagi Suzuo's words were well-intentioned but not without reason.

This is not a warning.

Because what she had experienced was far more cruel than Kitagawa Ayane had imagined, she tried to become the most familiar stranger to the person she liked the most, and even if she liked them, she dared not get too close.

For Lin Ze, more memories... meant deeper torment.

This time, it was Kitagawa Ayane's turn to frown slightly.

Although she didn't understand what the other person meant, judging from Lingxu's serious expression, it didn't seem like a joke.

After a while.

Miyagi Suzuo put the card away, put her hands in her pockets, and walked straight past her senior, brushing past Kitagawa Ayane.

however.

As I approached the doorway.

Miyagi Suzuo seemed to have thought of something and turned her head.

She looked at Kitagawa Ayane, put her finger to her lips, winked at Ayane-senpai, and said in a sweet voice:
"Buying clothes is nothing special. Lin Ze and I... we've already done it. He even said he wanted to marry me in bed."

The words fell.

Miyagi Suzuo smiled sweetly, put her hands behind her back, and took a light step forward.

"Goodbye."

Suzu waved her hand, her smile exceptionally sweet.
