Chapter 330 Like and Utilization
Having said that, seeing Lu Xingchen frown slightly, a trace of shame flashed in Chu Zeyan's eyes. He didn't want to be regarded as such a bad person by her, but he had never been a good person, so he quickly smiled and said.
"I never said I was fair, but at least I treated everyone equally. If I was unfair to others, I would be unfair to Zhang Qiaoai or the Zhang family."
"Then why bother seeking justice for me?" Lu Xingchen regretted what he said and frowned.
Chu Zeyan looked at her expression, as if he saw through her thoughts, and chuckled, "Why are you frowning? Are you afraid that I will answer your question?"
"You don't have to answer."
"I like you."
"..." Chu Zeyan was really unrestrained. Lu Xingchen couldn't help but take a breath, "I love Li Zhen."
"You don't have to emphasize this to me again and again. I can't control the fact that I like you. I don't even know when you became my bottom line."
Seeing Lu Xingchen's serious expression, Chu Zeyan put the peeled apple and fruit knife in his hand on the plate, took a piece of tissue paper from the bedside table, and wiped his fingers carefully again and again.
"If it makes you feel burdened, then you might feel better if you change your mindset. For example, I want to use you as her shield. After all, the fact that I touched Zhang Qiaoai for you soon spread. Everyone knows that I like you, so no one will suspect her this way."
Seeing Lu Xingchen frowning, Chu Zeyan laughed softly, "But you don't have to be too nervous. You are a child of the Lu family, so you are more secure than her. At worst, you still have Li Zhen. Even if Li Zhen is at worst, I am the one who caused you trouble. I am killing the chicken to scare the monkey. Whoever dares to touch you will end up like Zhang Qiaoai."
After saying that, he asked Lu Xingchen with a smile, "Think about it this way, does the fact that I like you not feel so burdensome to you?"
The door of the ward opened with a click, and Li Zhen walked in while saying, "It's not very kind of you to keep saying you like someone else's girlfriend."
Chu Zeyan, who was sitting beside the bed, was not surprised to see him, and smiled and said, "Didn't I think you were not here?"
"Is it okay if I'm not here?"
"Is it not possible?" Chu Zeyan asked as a matter of course, "Although you are the only boyfriend that Xingchen admits to, you have to admit that besides you, I am not the only one who likes her."
Li Zhen was about to speak.
Lu Xingchen immediately said: "Li Zhen, I want to drink some water."
Li Zhen looked at her, his teeth clenched again and again, but he still took a step forward to pour her some water.
Lu Xingchen then said to Chu Zeyan: "Since Second Brother has said it so thoroughly, we all know what you mean. I will assume that you are using me to cover up her existence. You can handle the matter of Zhang Qiaoai by yourself, and we will not interfere anymore."
She made it very clear about "we" and "you". Perhaps only someone like him who was classified as an outsider could be so sensitive to it. The smile on Chu Zeyan's lips did not diminish.
Li Zhen handed the water to Lu Xingchen, stood on the other side of the bed and looked at him, adding in a cold voice: "Since you insist on handling what happened this time by yourself, you'd better show your real ability. Don't say you like her but make her the target of attack."
Chu Zeyan looked at Li Zhen when he heard that.
Li Zhen looked at him sharply and continued in a cold and resolute voice.
"We don't like to be taken advantage of. There's no need to drag the Lu family into the dispute between your Chu family, so please remove Xingchen from this matter. If she is implicated again, the Zhang family may not be able to pry the chair from under you, but I, Li Zhen, don't mind cutting in line."
Chu Zeyan raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled and said, "I'll wait for you to cut in line."
After saying this, he stood up and said to Lu Xingchen, "Okay, that's all for today. I won't come over when you are discharged tomorrow. Otherwise, I'm afraid someone will say that I'm a queue-jumper."
爱插队三个字，他是看着厉臻说出来的，那模样要多招人烦就有多招人烦，厉臻恨不得现在就动手揍他。
Lu Xingchen was afraid that the two would really argue with each other, so he said to Chu Zeyan, "I won't send you off."
After she said this, she saw Chu Zeyan turning around and looking at her as if he was not smiling. To be honest, she was a little nervous, afraid that he would bring up some other topic. It would be fine for her to just listen, but she was afraid that Li Zhen would be irritated.
Fortunately, Chu Zeyan said nothing in the end, got up and left her ward.
After sending the evildoer away, Lu Xingchen still couldn't breathe a sigh of relief. Li Zhen, who was standing beside the bed, looked down at her without saying a word, which made her feel very uncomfortable. In the end, she could only say with a guilty conscience: "How about you come up and lie down, and I'll stand there as punishment?"
Li Zhen couldn't laugh at all. He bent down and took away the small piece of apple that she had been holding in her hand. Although this action was childish and did not make him feel any less uncomfortable, he still went all the way and walked around to the other side of the bed and threw it into the trash can.
Seeing this, Lu Xingchen turned around, picked up the plate on the bedside table and handed it over, "Throw this away too, it's an eyesore to me."
Knowing that she was trying to cheer him up, Li Zhen finally smiled unhappily, took the plate from her hand and put it back on the counter, then sat down beside her bed, pulled her over and hugged her in his arms, and sighed heavily.
"I know I didn't do well enough, but..." He swallowed and said with some worry, "Don't think that others are better than me."
Lu Xingchen rested her chin on his shoulder with a smile on her lips. Although Li Zhen didn't say anything, he seemed to be worried these days. Sometimes he looked at her with frustration and guilt. Thinking about it carefully, she guessed what he was thinking.
"I never think that others are better than you, and you don't need to feel guilty. Although I also want to help you with everything you want to do and protect you in every way, I must admit that I can't do that. So I hope that when you encounter any difficulties, there will be someone to help you. Even if that person is not me, I will be very grateful."
Because of her meticulousness and understanding, Li Zhen was deeply moved, "Xingchen..."
"I like you, and I won't waver just because of a little benefit from others. Also, I know you like me, so I won't question your kindness to me just because you occasionally 'don't do it in time'. So, don't look like you're apologizing for not doing this or that well, otherwise... if I get sick, you'll regret not being a doctor, and if I want to die, you'll regret not being a flying monkey, right?"
"Hehe..." Li Zhen was finally amused by her last sentence, and he liked this person even more in his heart. He liked her so much that he didn't know how to not be afraid of losing her. He liked her so much that he didn't know how much he had to like her to not be afraid of the future.
"Xingchen, I love you."
Lu Xingchen smiled broadly upon hearing this, "Of course you have to love me a lot, and for a very long time, otherwise, I will feel very unbalanced."
