Su Jinming wanted to turn around and leave. The girl he liked in his heart had admitted that she liked another boy in front of him. This was no different from slicing his heart into pieces.
However, Su Jinming’s feet seemed to be nailed to the floor. He couldn’t move no matter how hard he tried. He stared unblinkingly at Chen Meng’er, who was half-embraced by Yuwen Jing. His eyes were slightly red.
Chen Meng’er was only focused on dealing with Sun Guoqiang and didn’t notice the strange situation around her. Meanwhile, Yuwen Jing noticed that there was an overly intense gaze on him and Chen Meng’er. Yuwen Jing followed the gaze and looked over. When he saw that Su Jinming’s eyes were slightly red, he understood. He hugged Chen Meng’er even harder.
Su Jinming wasn’t blind. He had seen Yuwen Jing’s actions. This time, he averted his gaze. He was afraid that if he continued to watch, he wouldn’t be able to hold it in and rush forward to recklessly express his intentions to Chen Meng’er.
However, Su Jinming knew clearly that Chen Meng’er was not like any of the girls he knew in the past. She was completely different from them. It was precisely because he knew clearly what kind of person Chen Meng’er was, he would always suppress the feelings in his heart.
That was because he knew that if he were to rashly run up to Chen Meng’er and express his feelings to her, he might not even have the chance to be Chen Meng’er’s friend in the future and might not even have the chance to look at her from afar. That was why Su Jinming had been suppressing his feelings for Chen Meng’er so that Chen Meng’er would not find out.
“Jinming, are you alright? Why don’t we go back first?” Xu Zhengle was very worried about his friend who was trapped by his feelings. Speaking of which, he had never expected that among the three of them, Su Jinming would be trapped in a whirlpool of feelings that he could not extricate himself from.
“I’m fine. You guys can sit over there with me and drink some wine.” Su Jinming put away the pain in his heart and forced himself to reveal a smile to comfort his brothers who were worried about him.
However, Su Jinming didn’t know that the smile he was showing now was uglier than crying. Qiu Kaifeng patted Su Jinming’s shoulder and said, “Don’t smile if you don’t want to. If you smile like this, you’ll only make me and Le feel uncomfortable.”
Xu Lele, who was still bickering with Xu Zhengle, only realized later that there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere of her brother’s group. She leaned over, she asked, “Dude, what’s wrong? Why does Jinming look so ugly?”
Xu Zhengle did not know what to say about his sister. “Brat, don’t meddle in adults’ matters. Also, you are a girl. You should behave like a girl. It’s best that you don’t ask about boys’ matters.”
“Do you think I want to ask? If I didn’t care about Jinming, I wouldn’t ask. If it were you, I wouldn’t even bother with you even if you cried yourself to death in front of me.”
Xu Zhengle was not in the mood to bicker with his sister. This was the first time he had seen his friend in such a state. “Alright, I’m not in the mood to bicker with you today.” What Xu Zhengle did not say was that he would deal with her later.
