We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

Su Weile stared blankly at Tang Shaowu, her teeth clenched tightly, but she still couldn't control the trembling of her lips.

His voice trembled as he spoke.

"I accept your damn opinion. Tang Shaowu, you're a complete bastard! You think you can call the shots? Huh?"

You say we're good friends, then we're good friends; you say we're not, then we're not. Now you're saying it again, asking me to accept this kind of relationship. You've never stopped playing me for a fool, have you?

I'm still completely confused. I... I don't even understand what's going on myself. You're forcing me, forcing me to accept it. Accept my ass! I'm not accepting it, so what? Go ahead and hit me!

Tang Shaowu ignored Su Weile's excitement and kept his tone steady.

"You remember the kiss last night, right? That's why you started avoiding me this morning. And tonight, after coming back from the banquet, you've been avoiding me the whole time, haven't you?"

Su Weile hadn't expected Tang Shaowu to be so sensitive. "Yes, I do feel a bit too shocked. Suddenly I realize that our relationship might not be normal. Can't I take my time? Can't I think about it properly?"

"I can slow down and think things through, but you're avoiding me! You're probably even thinking of running away, and I can't stand that."

Su Weile turned her head to look out the window, refusing to look directly at Tang Shaowu.

He did have the thought of running away, but he didn't know how Tang Shaowu knew.

When he saw Yu Changning's words, "If you're not, then run away quickly," he really had an urge to leave immediately.

However, Su Weile had to admit that he was reluctant to part with Tang Shaowu. He was worried about him. He always felt that after he left, Tang Shaowu would be left without anyone to care for him. He could only endure the headaches and no one would be kind to him.

Su Weile was truly reluctant to part with him.

However, he also felt that if this feeling was not from the perspective of good friends, but rather something similar to love, then he felt that it was wrong.

Torn between two conflicting emotions, Su Weile felt as if her heart was being torn to pieces, filled with turmoil and pain.

Although Su Weile did not have the same privileged upbringing as Tang Shaowu and the others, he was truly pampered at home from a young age and has always had the characteristics of a young master.

Having never worried about making a living or been hurt in a relationship, such emotional turmoil was somewhat unbearable for him.

Tang Shaowu watched as Su Weile's lips twitched again, a situation that had just occurred in his car a couple of days earlier.

Just like last time, Su Weile's eyes quickly reddened, but this time it was obviously more serious than before. Under the gentle moonlight, a string of crystal-clear tears slid down Su Weile's face.

"Can't you just not force me?"

Can't I think about it?

Can't we just stay the way we were before?

I... I really cherish you as a friend. You're so much older than me, and you have a bad temper. You always try to trick me, but I still can't bear to abandon you as a friend.

I never imagined I'd be in a relationship with a guy or anything like that, and I never even imagined a girl... For me to suddenly accept this... I... I..."

Looking at Su Weile like this, Tang Shaowu's heart, which had never known what heartache was, twitched strangely a few times.

Tang Shaowu frowned, reached out again, touched the back of Su Weile's neck, and pulled him into his arms.

After a while, he said coldly.

"First, the affection I have for you is the kind of affection one has for a lover; you must remember that."

Second, stay by my side. This is my minimum requirement for you, my bottom line. As for the rest, I'll give you time; I won't pressure you.

Su Weile lay on Tang Shaowu's shoulder, still gazing out the window, silently thinking that this seemed to be the rare time Tang Shaowu had made a concession since they met.

Having received Tang Shaowu's promise not to pressure him, Su Weile felt much more relaxed for the time being.

He's thinking about many things he can't understand right now, but he'll keep thinking about them and figure them out eventually.

"I should change the nickname I gave you in my phone. I shouldn't have called you 'creditor' in the first place. It's come true. Tang Shaowu, I must have owed you something in my past life."

Tang Shaowu listened quietly without saying a word.

Su Weile frowned, recalling Tang Shaowu's sinister and terrifying appearance earlier.

"You just flung your hand at me and came over looking all menacing, trying to beat me up? You're really something. Let me tell you, if you dare to hit me, let's have a match. Who knows who'll get beaten up, you piece of trash."

Tang Shaowu snorted coldly, "Fine, we can have a match sometime."

"Also, I wasn't here to beat you up, I was here to take care of you right here and now."

"Huh? What did you give me? What do I need to do with it?"

Several minutes passed. Su Weile roared, "Tang Shaowu, you son of a bitch!"

--------------------------------

After all that commotion, Su Weile was truly exhausted. The intense emotional turmoil left her feeling utterly drained.

Children who are too simple-minded are not suited to thinking about such mentally taxing things.

Su Weile finally lay down, feeling somewhat relieved. In the moonlight, he watched Tang Shaowu pressing one hand to his forehead. Su Weile's heart tightened again. "Do you have a headache?"

Tang Shaowu said in a nonchalant tone, "It's okay, you can go to sleep."

Su Weile sat up again. "Does it hurt? Let me massage it for you. No, let's get acupuncture instead."

Tang Shaowu grabbed Su Weile, who was getting up to get the acupuncture needles, and said, "Don't bother. It's not that it hurts, I'm just a little tired. If you're worried about me, then don't make me angry in the future."

Su Weile lay down again and said, "Stop being the one to accuse me first. I'm the victim here, and you're driving me crazy."

Su Weile lay on the tatami mat, burying her face in the pillow. Tang Shaowu, who had been holding Su Weile's hand, still hadn't let go.

Su Weile struggled for a moment but couldn't break free, so she simply gave up.

Tang Shaowu looked at Su Weile, who was like an ostrich, with a cold gaze. When he first arrived at the hospital, he found that he particularly disliked Su Weile getting angry with him, and now this feeling was becoming stronger and stronger.

Today he discovered that the thought of Su Weile possibly running away could drive him mad.

So, instead of taking things slowly, he decided to be frank and say it all today.

He knew Su Weile wouldn't be able to handle it, but he had to make his stance clear and cut off any possibility that Su Weile might leave.

Tang Shaowu rubbed Su Weile's fingertips back and forth with his thumb. Tang Shaowu's nails were very neat, which made Su Weile feel so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.

Suddenly, I heard Tang Shaowu say, "That Russian song of yours, you transliterated it yourself, right?"

When this topic came up, Su Weile became interested, lifted her head from the pillow and said, "Ah, right! Hehe, you noticed?"

Su Weile suddenly remembered that when they first arrived at the hospital, he had heard Tang Shaowu speak several languages. "You speak Russian, right?"

Tang Shaowu truthfully replied, "Yes, I can. You sing very well."

Su Weile immediately smiled brightly, "Right? It sounds good, doesn't it? Let me tell you about that Korean song later on. I also transliterated it myself, but I sang it even better. I can also dance that dance. I was just getting ready to show off my skills when, who knew you..."
