“Speak with your conscience, isn’t this for you?”
Yun Shu touched her conscience and really couldn’t say that this was not for her. After all, how are there so many coincidences coming together in this world?
Yun Shu asked with confusion, “Why?”
Fang Ling rolled her eyes. “What else can it be for? It’s just that he likes you.”
Yun Shu pursed her lips and said troubledly, “But….”
“But what?”
But what… Yun Shu could not utter it.
She was afraid that she was the only person in the world who knew the storyline.
She knew that she was just a passerby in Fu Ran’s life; she was aware that Fu Ran would fall in love with Qiao Yan later on, and she also knew that Fu Ran and Qiao Yan would love each other fervently to the point of death.
Knowing too much isn’t necessarily a good thing.
Does Yun Shu not want to be with Fu Ran?
No, she does.
But because she knew too much, she didn’t dare to take that step easily since she was afraid to give too much and end up with nothing.
What’s more, feelings were not the same as other things.
Fang Ling was unaware of her troubles. She asked her, “Could it be that you don’t like Fu Ran at all?”
Yun Shu bit her lips and didn’t say anything.
Fang Ling pretended to be surprised. “It can’t be, right? You really don’t like Fu Ran at all?!”
Her acting skills were too exaggerated, and one would know it was fake at first glance. Furthermore, her words and acting were equally fake because anyone could see that these two people had mutual feelings for one another.
Yun Shu balled her hands into fists and lightly hit her. She stammered, “It’s not that I don’t like him at all. I, I still…”
Fang Ling covered the place where she was hit as if it really hurt. She asked, “Then what are you troubled about? Isn’t it enough for you two to have mutual feelings for each other? As for being overcautious, you don’t even dare to send your script?”
“No, I, I… How do I tell you…” Yun Shu interlaced her fingers for a long time before phrasing her words, “I just think a lot would be involved if we break up in the future. In the future…”
Fang Ling couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “That’s also something for later, isn’t it? Why do you think so much now?”
Yun Shu pursed her lips. “This is called prevention before it happens.”
“Your actions are called the man of Qǐ fears the sky falling.” <sup>[1]</sup> Fang Ling continued, “All you think about is that you will break up in the future. Haven’t you ever thought that you won’t break up in the future?”
“How… How could that happen?”
“You’ve even considered breaking up. Haven’t you considered the option that you won’t break up?”
“That is probably impossible….”
Yun Shu said in this way, but there was a small voice in her heart saying—
What if that happens, what if that happens, what if that happens…
Fang Ling was determined to give this unconfident little fool a little confidence. So she asked, “Do you know this is the first time Fu Ran is dating someone?”
“I know… know a little.”
“I probably have a little more knowledge of this than you. Fu Ran’s problems have been troubling the Fu family because, before this, everyone thought he wouldn’t get married, or he was likely to fall in love with a man.”
Fang Ling added in a serious tone, “Because he really does not like to get along with the opposite sex outside his family. His ten over blind dates parted on bad terms. You are also the first woman he approached on his own initiative. You must have a very special place in his heart.”
“Really?”
Yun Shu’s eyes widened. Xu Hao had told her a little bit last time, but Yun Shu half-believed it. She thought Xu Hao was talking about his positive points.
However, after getting along with him later on, she also believed that it was the first time Fu Ran dated someone. As for getting along with the opposite gender…
Is… Is she really this special?
