Wen Xinya had been living pleasantly during the past few weeks. Although it was a little boring, Si Yiyan would do his best to take some time out of his schedule to accompany her. Whenever her friends were free, they would also visit her at the Mo Family home. Hence, the atmosphere in the Mo Family home felt much livelier.
Zhou Tianyu scanned Wen Xinya from head to toe and said smilingly, “You seem to have gained some weight. Seems like you’ve been nursing your injury well.”
Due to the fact that Wen Xinya was a premature baby, she was born unhealthier than most people. To make matters worse, she lacked proper nutrition and care after her birth and hence, her health had been affected for good. As a result, it was harder to nurse her body back to health and she barely gained any weight even after returning to the Wen Family.
Although they often said that they envied her for being able to stay slim all the time, they were actually rather worried and sorry for her.
Gained weight!
Is she indirectly trying to say that I’m fat!?!
Can we even have a joyous conversation?
Seemingly having failed to notice Wen Xinya’s sullen expression, Zhou Tianyu said, “They all say that you tend to gain weight when you’re happy. Seems like Ninth Si has been taking good care of you!”
Due to the fact that she had been rather busy with some family matters, she did not have the chance to visit Wen Xinya. However, she had also heard from Xu Tongxuan that Si Yiyan had moved to the Mo Family home in order to take better care of Wen Xinya. Hence, she owed it all to Si Yiyan for being able to recover so soon.”
Wen Xinya flew into a rage and retorted. “You’re the one who gained weight out of bliss. Tell me… how am I fat? I’m the same as before!”
Not only did Si Yiyan take good care of her during this period of time, even Mother He and Mother Jiang constantly fed her with soup, fish maw, bird’s nest, and herbal snacks. They kept emphasizing on the fact that they had to nourish her because she was too skinny.
Si Yiyan actually agreed with them.
Hence, Wen Xinya realized that she had indeed gained some weight. Winter was definitely the season for gaining weight!
Wen Xinya was speechless.
Obesity was the enemy of everyone in this world!
Zhou Tianyu snorted with laughter and asked, “Why are you so nervous? You’re so thin, it’s alright to gain some weight. It’s not like Ninth Si will dare to criticize you.”
From the way she saw it, Si Yiyan was definitely the person who wished for Wen Xinya to gain weight the most.
Wen Xinya gritted her teeth angrily and exclaimed a radiant smile, “How dare he!”
He was the one who had made her gain weight. If he dared to criticize her for being fat, she would definitely teach him a lesson.
Staring at Wen Xinya peculiarly, Zhou Tianyu moved away from her and said, “From the way I see it, Ninth Si is undoubtedly a devoted lover. Don’t you think it’s really cute that he’s so loving yet so stern?”
Zhou Tianyu had already burst into uncontrollable laughter after she finished speaking.
Wen Xinya thought to herself in embarrassment, Sis, do you really think it’s appropriate to talk about your best friend’s boyfriend and show your admiration towards him in front of her?
She felt that she had already begun to understand the reason why people tended to ward against their best friends.
Wen Xinya said calmly, “Gu Junling is the real devoted lover and loyal dog!”
No one else was as devoted as Gu Junling.
Zhou Tianyu’s smiled stiffened, but she still tried to hide her emotions. “He’s just a silly man.”
Otherwise, how could he have stayed loyal and carried a torch for her for more than a decade?
If he weren’t silly, why did he remain devoted even though his feelings were not reciprocated?
“Hahahaha…” Wen Xinya was overjoyed. Hence, she did not notice that Zhou Tianyu was hiding her emotions. She patted Zhou Tianyu on her shoulder and said, “Sis, continue to press on… work hard to break the tradition of childhood sweethearts ending up in tragic unrequited relationships. Prove to everyone that true love only exists between childhood sweethearts!”
Zhou Tianyu’s smile stiffened and she pretended to be angry. “All you do is spout nonsense.”
What was the tragic fate of childhood sweethearts?
It was undoubtedly one of the pair falling in love with the other, only to have his or her feelings be unrequited. It was as if they would never be able to get out of the one-sided relationship.
However, there would always be someone who appeared at the right time and place to stop the childhood sweethearts from meeting each other again. The heartbroken one would either criticize them or silently give them his well wishes. However, it was definitely agonizing.
Zhou Tianyu hoped that true love would appear in Gu Junling’s life, even though she might end up being miserable and hopeless.
Wen Xinya finally noticed the look on Zhou Tianyu’s face and asked, “Tianyu, Gu Junling said that you seem to be rather busy lately. What have you been busy with? Why aren’t you guys here together?”
Wen Xinya scanned Zhou Tianyu from head to toe with a look of fatigue and haggardness on her face. Wen Xinya could tell the misery in her eyes, regardless of how hard she tried to hide it.
Her heart dropped and she was suddenly overwhelmed with an ominous feeling.
Zhou Tianyu tried to hide her emotions and said, “I wonder what happened to him lately. He’s been paying extra attention to his family’s business and he’s been occupying his time with that. I barely saw him in the past few days.”
She only discovered it after Wen Xinya injured her ankle.
Wen Xinya teased. “You sound so upset. Did Gu Junling neglect you because of work?”
Although Gu Junling had long begun managing the company and making decisions for them, he could openly slack since he had Old Mr. Gu to support him. He used to be nonchalant and slipshod, unlike now where he was extremely attentive.
Zhou Tianyu glowered at her and asked, “What nonsense are you spouting? Do I seem like such a childish person?”
She was glad to see that Gu Junling was putting in more effort into his family’s business, lest he pesters her all the time.
Wen Xinya chuckled and asked, “Is that so?”
She clearly didn’t believe her.
Zhou Tianyu glowered at her helplessly.
Wen Xinya was extremely thrilled.
Zhou Tianyu stared at Wen Xinya and said with a complicated expression, “Xinya…”
She had no idea how to begin.
“Yes?” Wen Xinya asked, noticing that she was trying to speak.
Zhou Tianyu shook her head and said with a lopsided smile, “Nothing… nothing much. I have to get going. I’ll come visit you another time.”
Without even giving Wen Xinya a chance to speak, Zhou Tianyu stood up and scurried away.
She seemed to be fleeing out of panic.
