Chapter 2402: She Felt More Responsible
Later, he returned to school.
Qiao Chen had changed a lot after returning to school. He had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard. Moreover, he couldn"t attend physical education cla.s.ses anymore.
When Shen Xin saw him again, she was no longer angry.
Her heart ached.
She"d asked him about his illness before, but he hadn"t said anything.
"Heart disease." Qiao Chen had nothing to hide now. "I didn"t even know how long I"d live, so I couldn"t agree to be with you."
"Heart disease?" Shen Xin widened her eyes in shock.
"Mm." Qiao Chen nodded. "But I"ll be fine after undergoing surgery."
Shen Xin"s heart tightened. It was because of his words that the invisible hand holding her heart slowly relaxed.
"Your heart disease… can be cured by surgery?"
"Sure." Qiao Chen nodded. "When the time comes, Brother-in-law will be my chief surgeon. He told me that I can be normal after the surgery."
So, I"m qualified to pursue you in the future.
I"m no longer a person who can die at any time.
I also have the ability to give you the life you want. I"m no longer that poor guy with nothing to his name.
He could pursue what he wanted.
"That"s great." Shen Xin was happy for him. "Brother Yesi is amazing. Since he said so, he can definitely cure you. Qiao Chen, I"m really happy for you."
"Mm." Qiao Chen smiled. "Brother-in-law is very powerful, I believe him too."
"Then, I wish you all the best." Shen Xin raised her coffee cup.
"Alright." Qiao Chen raised his coffee cup too, and their cups clinked in the air.
Shen Xin took a sip of her coffee.
At this moment, she wasn"t as calm as she looked. From the moment Qiao Chen announced that he was chasing her, she couldn"t calm down.
And his confession.
Although Shen Xin had already decided to give up on this one-sided relations.h.i.+p, she couldn"t let go of her feelings so easily.
She wanted to give up, but she still had feelings for Qiao Chen.
She was still attracted to him.
This was the first boy she had fallen for, and she had chased him for four years.
He finally responded to her feelings and was willing to be with her.
However, Shen Xin didn"t know how to respond.
Her mind was in a mess and she couldn"t think properly.
What she wanted so badly in the past was now in her hands, but she didn"t have the desire to get it.
Even if she still liked him, the Shen family"s calamity made her grow a lot in an instant. She was no longer the carefree Shen Xin.
She felt more responsible.
She wanted to become stronger quickly. She didn"t want to be unable to help her family in the future if they encountered any difficulties.
Only when she became stronger could she help them.
"Shen Xin, you"re still single, right? Can I pursue you?" Qiao Chen asked softly after a while.
The young man sounded a little nervous.
He was afraid that Shen Xin had met someone she liked in her new school.
