Chapter 1092: Gentle Neighbor's Drama Queen Sweetheart 20

Zhongyu Yu liked today's makeup and outfit, and had Jin Chen take many photos of him, adding several couple shots to the album.

Zhongyu Yu looked left and right, and actually liked it extremely, quietly setting one of those couple photos as his wallpaper.

Jin Chen also used his own phone to take many photos of him; while shooting, a message suddenly arrived, sent by Zhou Yao.

It was said that Xue Yuanjing came to the hospital, but Xu You broke up with him thoroughly, leaving no room for regret.

Jin Chen glanced at it, replied casually, and told Zhou Yao to monitor the progress himself, no need to report daily.

According to the original plot, Xu You wouldn't give up on Xue Yuanjing so easily; someone had to completely replace Xue Yuanjing.

"Jin Chen… who is this person?"

Zhongyu Yu asked him doubtfully, the new friend interface showed an avatar that Jin Chen somewhat recognized.

"It's Xu You," Jin Chen said, also feeling a bit puzzled.

"He already broke up, how could he still find you?"

He had always avoided letting Zhongyu Yu get involved in this matter, never expecting Xu You to show up anyway; he probably investigated every place Xue Yuanjing had been recently, leaving no stone unturned.

Zhongyu Yu pressed his lips, "He won't come to scold me, will he?"

"He and Xue Yuanjing broke up today, so probably not; let's agree first and see what he wants to do."

"Okay."

Zhongyu Yu sat beside him and agreed to Xu You's friend request.

As soon as they were added, a large transfer appeared within seconds.

Zhongyu Yu was puzzled, staring blankly at Jin Chen, "What… does this mean?"

His confusion was quickly answered; Xu You's message followed right after.

Xu You: "You don't need to be nervous; from start to finish, it's all Xue Yuanjing's fault. Xue Yuanjing hid things from me and also from you; only He Jiao willingly followed him."

Zhongyu Yu: "Then what is this money for?"

Xu You: "The rent he was freeloading; I've reclaimed all of his liquid funds."

Zhongyu Yu blinked, "That was fast."

"He's really capable."

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, embracing Zhongyu Yu without committing, just nodding.

Without Xue Yuanjing's daily PUA, the main character's receiver looks much more normal.

"Jin Chen, let me treat you to a meal."

Zhongyu Yu took the money, suddenly had an idea, excitedly turned and sat, tugging his sleeve gently, his tone both obedient and coquettish.

"Just consider it a small return for all those meals you've bought me; please don't refuse, okay~"

"Sure."

Jin Chen ruffled his hair, "If we're going out like that, we need to book a private room in advance; it'll be cold outside."

"No way, I need to change clothes and remove my makeup; wait a moment."

"No rush, go ahead."

Zhongyu Yu trotted back to the master suite, slipped into the bathroom, looked at himself in the mirror, slowly curved his lips; the joy and flutter in his heart made his body feel a little numb.

Jin Chen wouldn't stop him from going out in a pretty skirt, would he?

"Really nice."

Zhongyu Yu removed his makeup, still feeling the costume skirt too troublesome, and changed into simple clothes.

When heading out, he saw Jin Chen still sitting in the living room, the TV playing his favorite movie.

"Let's go."

Zhongyu Yu tied his long hair up, paired with a simple shirt; compared to the previous stunning look, it had a bit more of a refined, unworldly air.

Jin Chen sent a final message, got up and followed, leaving side by side.

At that moment, inside the hospital.

Zhou Yao received the message, then cleared all chat logs, and looked toward Xu You sitting on the sofa nearby.

He seemed to be in a daze, unconsciously rubbing his middle finger with his thumb.

Half an hour ago, there had been a ring there.

Just that Xue Yuanjing came to the hospital and caused a scene, making Xu You so angry he threw away the ring and was driven out.

This proud and arrogant young master is handsome everywhere, even his fingers.

But he turns out to be more innocent than imagined, strangely cute.

Zhou Yao withdrew his gaze, pulled the covers up, and coughed softly.

Xu You came to and looked over, "Does the wound still hurt?"

"A bit… but much better," Zhou Yao gave him a smile, still looking weak, "Sorry, Mr. Xu."

"The injured person is you; what's there to apologize for?"

Xu You pinched his brow, having barely slept all night, now utterly exhausted.

"What happened last night? Do you know that assailant?"

"I don't know him," Zhou Yao said, his voice tinged with grievance and hoarse, "I was sitting in the lobby drinking; that man… wanted to get handsy with me, so I called security to throw him out."

Turns out that's how it was; not exactly surprising, just that this person happened to run into a lunatic.

Xu You understood, then said, "Rest assured, I won't let that person off. This isn't your fault."

"I'll cover all the medical expenses."

Zhou Yao didn't respond, just lowered his head, looking especially embarrassed.

"Mr. Xu, may I ask you for a favor?"

"... Go ahead."

Xu You's tone was slightly cold; he instinctively felt there wouldn't be anything good, after all, he had seen people who push their luck before.

But the man in front of him had after all saved his life, so his attitude wasn't that cold.

"I have a final exam in two days, I might not be able to go; could you trouble Mr. Xu to use your older brother's identity… to help me apply for a deferred exam?"

Xu You exclaimed, "You're still in college?!"

"Wait… how old are you this year?"

Zhou Yao pressed his lips, "22."

Xu You sighed.

Fine, no wonder this person kindly saved someone; turns out he's a college student.

Xu You, who was nearly five years older than him, silently rubbed his forehead.

"Where are your parents, insisting I call your counselor?"

Zhou Yao's expression grew more dejected, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"I'm an orphan."

Xu You: "……"

Damn, why ask that question!

What to do if you've hurt the kid's self-esteem.

The proud Young Master Xu patiently said, "Fine, give me the counselor's phone number."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Seeing him agree, Zhou Yao perked up, his gaze burning and focused on him, his brows full of youthful vigor, like some obedient large canine animal.

Xu You…… Xu You looked away, feeling that today he was simply overflowing with sympathy.

After taking leave for the counselor, the doctor happened to come over to change Zhou Yao's bottle.

Zhou Yao asked when he could be discharged.

"Need to observe for two more days, the wound is a bit deep." The doctor answered and then left.

Although Xu You hasn't yet taken over family affairs and has nothing to do all day, he also didn't want to accompany someone staying in the hospital for two days.

He hired a senior caregiver for Zhou Yao and left the hospital that afternoon.

The next morning.

Xu You reappeared in the hospital, his face grim.

And Zhou Yao, whose freshly stitched wound had torn again, was still receiving treatment in the ward.

"Are you sick in the head?"

Xu You looked at the man being held down by the bodyguard, his head pounding with anger.

"He's staying in the hospital peacefully; what are you doing coming to cause trouble for him?"

Xue Yuanjing was being escorted, his whole person dirty and disheveled; after just a few days he looked like he'd been wandering for half a year, stubble scraggly, his gaze frightening.

"He stole you from me! Can't I go cause trouble for him?"

Xue Yuanjing didn't know what he was thinking, already blaming the breakup on Zhou Yao.

"No wonder you wanted to break up so hastily; turns out you already found someone else! How could you treat me like this… Does he know your preferences, does he know what position you like…"

"Slap!"

Xue Yuanjing got slapped again.

Xu You's chest heaved with anger at those words; now looking at this dirty man before him, he was no different from looking at trash.

His voice cold, his eyes deep, "Looking back on the past few years of affection, I'll let you off one last time."

"If you don't want to stay in this city, from now on just behave yourself."

Xue Yuanjing, having been slapped, instead grew much calmer, hesitating to speak, "No…… I came today because I wanted to see you."

"I've already cut ties cleanly; why won't you forgive me? Do I need to die for you to forgive me?"

Xu You lowered his gaze to look at him, only then realizing Xue Yuanjing was now far from the memory of his former self; not a trace of his former flutter remained, replaced by a feeling of nausea at the sight of him.

"Love or die, it's none of my business."

He pressed his brow, "Throw him out, don't cause a scene in the hospital."
