Chapter 744: Straightforward
Fu Yuanxiu had had a bad lung since he was young and often coughed. He did not care at first, but he did not expect to find out later that he had lung cancer.
At that time, he knew that he might not live for long.
However, he had always had a carefree personality. He was cultured, refined, and indifferent. He could see everything clearly. If he was really sick, he would not have any regrets and would bid farewell to this world.
However, his father, Fu Chun, told him that it was fine. He could find someone to treat his illness.
At that time, Fu Yuanxiu felt that Fu Chun was spouting nonsense.
Cancer was a world-cla.s.s problem that had yet to be solved. How could Fu Chun find someone to treat him? However, in order to rea.s.sure his father, he pretended to be relaxed.
Later, Fu Chun really found a lot of medicine for him. He said that there was a new medicine developed by a laboratory that could suppress the illness.
He was doubtful, but after taking it, his cough was indeed relieved. The cancer cells had indeed been suppressed for the past two months and stopped spreading.
He really thought that he was going to recover. He really thought that his father had found a secret elixir for him.
Hence, for the past half a year, other than taking medicine regularly and going to the hospital for a checkup, he gradually did not care about his lung cancer anymore. He thought that he had recovered.
However, he had just coughed out blood. Did he relapse?
Fu Yuanxiu thought that he would be fine when facing this day. He did not expect that at this moment, he’d realize that he had a desire for life.
He did not want to die.
He wanted to accompany his old father and send him off in retirement.
He wanted to meet Little Cutie and walk into the hall of marriage with her. He even thought about many things. After they got married, he could draw. Little Cutie did not like doing that, but she would accompany him.
After all, he had taught Little Cutie so much about painting recently.
Unexpectedly, all of this could only be a fantasy.
Buzz.
His phone vibrated and pulled him back to reality. He lowered his head and saw Little Cutie’s WeChat message: “Aiya, it’s a girl’s privilege to say one thing and mean another. I’ll allow you to take back your previous message and send another one again. You don’t have to think too much about it. I’ll go see you.”
Fu Yuanxiu was stunned.
Qian Zheng had always been a proud child. He did not expect her to make such a concession.
The world was cruel to him.
Such a cute girl should have been able to accompany him, but now…
Fu Yuanxiu lowered his head and sent another message: “No. I think if we meet, we might be disillusioned.”
Qian Zheng was stunned.
At this moment, she had just finished showering and was doing skincare. She took off the expensive facial mask without even blinking and threw it into the trash can. She then typed: “How can that be? Even if the two of us are not as good-looking as celebrities, we can still be considered a handsome man and a beautiful woman!”
Xiao Yuan replied very quickly: “You’ve seen me before?”
Qian Zheng: “…”
Of course!
However, she could not say this. Hence, Qian Zheng sat on the bed and slowly typed: “Anyway, I’m not afraid of being exposed. Just say it. Do you want to meet me or not?!”
She was a little angry.
However, Xiao Yuan’s reply was calm and restrained: “No.”
Qian Zheng: “?”
She was completely stunned.
Recently, she could clearly feel that Xiao Yuan’s offensive had become stronger. Didn’t he want to meet her? Why did he suddenly change his mind?
Qian Zheng felt an indescribable sadness and heartache.
At this moment, on another WeChat message, Fu Yuanxiu sent: “What are you doing?”
Qian Zheng suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and replied: “Let me ask you a question.”
Fu Yuanxiu: “Please speak.”
Qian Zheng: “What do you think of online dating?”
She and Xiao Yuan were online lovers, and Xiao Yuan’s words just now made her feel that something was amiss.
She stared nervously at Fu Yuanxiu’s WeChat and saw that he was typing. After half an hour, just as Qian Zheng thought that the other party had written an 800-word essay, Fu Yuanxiu sent a message:
“Internet romance? Do you actually believe in this? You can’t get to know each other over the Internet and don’t even know each other’s character. How can they be reliable? I think it’s fine for you to have an online romance, but don’t rush to meet up. Online dating is only when you’re lonely. You want to find someone to chat with, but it’s different in real life. Moreover, many little girls nowadays pretend to be cute and weak, but they’re actually not like that at all. Yes, if you want to talk about my opinion of online dating, it’s that you can play it for a while, but you can’t take it seriously.”
Qian Zheng’s eyes widened and she stood up instantly.
She let go of the phone and it fell on the bed.
Following that, her phone rang again. Fu Yuanxiu sent another WeChat message: “As a friend in real life, let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t let your heart be blinded by online romance. For example, I’ve only had one online romance, but I definitely won’t be serious about it. I’m just playing.”
Just playing…
Playing…
Qian Zheng was so angry that her fingers were trembling. She was so angry that she felt her blood rush to her heart and her brain was about to bleed!
She stared at her phone and wanted to send a message to scold him, but she did not know what to do. She was so anxious that she paced around the room. In the end, she was so angry that she cried.
Downstairs, Qian Xin entered.
The moment he entered, he looked at his fingers hesitantly. “Wasn’t I wearing a ring when I left today?”
As soon as he said this, he patted his head. Just as he was about to turn around and go out to look, he suddenly heard a crisp cry from upstairs.
Qian Xin was instantly stunned. He hurriedly walked upstairs and pushed open Qian Zheng’s door. He saw his younger sister, whom he had raised like a daughter, hugging her knees and squatting by the bed crying.
He panicked and shouted in a thick northeastern accent, “Zhengzheng, what’s wrong with you? Huh? Who bullied you? Tell Big Brother and I’ll help you beat him up! Or I’ll help you bankrupt his family!”
Qian Zheng sobbed and slowly lifted her head.
If it were anyone else, they would have felt a little embarra.s.sed that their online relations.h.i.+p had only been treated like a game and the other party was a friend they knew. It was equivalent to their crush being discovered.
However, Qian Zheng was not anyone else. She had been quick to speak since she was young and would say anything. Hence, when she heard Qian Xin’s words, she immediately cried and shouted, “It’s Fu Yuanxiu! Wuwu, Brother, he played with my feelings! Wah wah wah!”
Qian Xin: “…”
“Fu Yuanxiu? That little artist? He dares to bully my sister! He must be tired of living! I’ll go ask him now!”
Looking at Qian Zheng’s crying face, Qian Xin stood up angrily and walked out.
“Brother, you, don’t be rash…”
Qian Zheng did not dare to cry anymore and followed Qian Xin downstairs. However, she realized that Qian Xin had already stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.
