Chapter 338: Chapter 338

Zhao Guodong looked at Xiang Weilai incredulously, shaking his head vigorously. He couldn’t believe it; he couldn’t believe he had personally pushed Ye Ling away.

No—perhaps yesterday when Zhang Linong told him, he just realized that he had liked Ye Ling all along without knowing it. Like a child insisting on candy, he had been pestering Ye Ling, only to find out that time changes and no one would wait for him to grow up. Someone will take away the thing he hadn’t even realized he liked.

So when Zhang Linong broke this to him, Zhao Guodong was silent, and only exploded when Zhang Linong said Xiang Weilai was the most suitable for Ye Ling. He recalled how Xiang Weilai always gently stood beside Ye Ling, and compared to Xiang Weilai, he was just a child. He thought of Xiang Weilai disregarding everyone’s eyes to wipe Ye Ling’s tears, realizing that Xiang Weilai had already acted unknowingly while he remained in place.

Early in the morning, Zhao Guodong saw Xiang Weilai carrying things and leaving; he knew Xiang Weilai was going to the hospital. For a moment, he wanted to chase after him, but he stopped when he remembered Zhang Linong’s words: Love her and make her happy.

Every time he thought about how Ye Ling looked after him like a child, how he would always sulk with the group, and Ye Ling would coax him like coaxing a child.

But it’s different when she’s with Xiang Weilai. He always silently helps Ye Ling, giving her support.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guodong couldn’t bring himself to move. This conflicted heart left him standing outside not knowing what to wait for, or what to do, until he saw Xiang Weilai, and Zhao Guodong understood what he wanted. He wanted an answer.

The moment he got the answer, Zhao Guodong’s heart shattered, realizing he had lost something.

"When did you two get together?" Zhao Guodong used all his strength to ask this question.

Xiang Weilai looked at the pain on Zhao Guodong’s face, hesitating for a moment, "The day Uncle Ye had surgery."

Zhao Guodong laughed, "What a great opportunity. Zhang Linong was right; my brain isn’t as sharp as yours. You’re just a pig; how could you compete with a fox."

"But you... bastard." Zhao Guodong finished, and punched Xiang Weilai in the face, "Uncle Ye was so sick, and you were still thinking of your little feelings, you bastard, I’ll beat you to death!"

Xiang Weilai didn’t dodge, taking the punch, his body retreating a few steps before stabilizing. His slender fingers touched the painful side of his face that had been hit, Xiang Weilai smiled, his voice still relaxed as usual, "I accept this punch, because I snatched Ye Ling first. It’s my fault. But I know there’s one thing you can’t give up, and that’s the one you love."

"You think one punch settles it?" Zhao Guodong followed with another punch, thinking of the days and nights he spent with Ye Ling over the years, his eyes wet, "Why didn’t you think of her when Ye Ling first came back to the courtyard? You waited until we noticed before you did? That’s just snatching, you bastard, they say silent dogs bite, but you look like a man all day without a peep, turns out you only know how to calculate people."

"You bastard, today I’m going to beat you until even your mother wouldn’t recognize you." Zhao Guodong cursed, continuing to punch, though after that first punch that Xiang Weilai accepted, the rest didn’t land on his body.

Xiang Weilai easily dodged Zhao Guodong’s punches, his eyes teasing, with a look of amused sarcasm, "Whether a good dog or a bad dog, as long as it can bite, it’s a good dog."

"I’ll make you a good dog." Unable to land a punch, Zhao Guodong was furious, more incensed by Xiang Weilai’s words. He used all his strength, wanting to pounce on Xiang Weilai and tear him apart, not realizing the conversation had already been shifted by Xiang Weilai.

The two argued about good dogs and bad dogs, even though it was just a small grove in the courtyard, it couldn’t avoid attracting attention. By the time they were pulled apart, aside from a half-swollen face on Xiang Weilai, neither seemed hurt, but Zhao Guodong was panting heavily, still pointing at Xiang Weilai and cursing silent dogs.

After this tussle, when Zhao Guodong was dragged home by Zhang Linong and Wang Ping, he lay powerlessly on the bed like a corpse, making Wang Ping sigh.

"What’s the relationship between good and bad dogs got to do with you two? You fought over it, I’ve seen it all."

"Get lost." Zhao Guodong angrily cursed.

Wang Ping remained unaffected.

Zhang Linong gave a faint smile, a hint of disappointment in his laughter, "Naturally, it has something to do with it. If you can’t understand it, don’t bother. Get along well with Xiang Weilai in the future, stop quarreling every time you meet, after all, you’re living in the same courtyard."

This was also said for Zhao Guodong to hear, today when Zhao Guodong and Xiang Weilai fought, Zhang Linong naturally knew the reason. Now the resentment was vented, Zhang Linong was relieved about Zhao Guodong, and seeing Xiang Weilai as a smart person. The fight startled many people, but it only let people know it was about good and bad dogs, without letting anyone know it was because of Ye Ling, which proved Xiang Weilai’s cleverness.

If Ye Ling was with such a person, as long as Xiang Weilai cherished Ye Ling, Zhang Linong could be at ease.

Yet Xiang Weilai didn’t go home; he was called over by Liu Zhiyuan, who asked only one question, "Is it true between you and Ye Ling?"

Xiang Weilai didn’t expect Liu Zhiyuan to ask this, and after a moment’s surprise, he quickly concealed it, smiling and nodding, "How did you know?"

Ye Ling couldn’t have told him, so it must have been at the hospital where he and Ye Ling were spotted. Thinking about it, Xiang Weilai was certain it was Ye Qian.

Liu Zhiyuan smiled warmly, "It’s okay, I overheard by accident. Since it’s true, then treasure it well. But you can’t make it public, you know that, right?"

"Don’t worry." Xiang Weilai smiled calmly, without feeling embarrassed. Follow current novels on NoveI★Fire.net

Seeing Xiang Weilai’s demeanor, thinking of how he usually keeps a low profile but managed to snatch Ye Ling away the moment he acted, Liu Zhiyuan felt he had never really understood this friend before him. Nevertheless, whatever the case, his own sense of loss was unnoticed by anyone else. Besides, he didn’t think it was because he liked Ye Ling. Perhaps it was because a close friend suddenly had someone more important than himself in their heart, and that’s why he felt the loss. (To be continued.
