Tao Yu confirmed that the walkie-talkie was turned off, her mouth twitching as she was still unwilling to give up. Finally, with a serious face, she said to Yue Linze, “Help me ask for leave from Zhou Ying. If Lao Chang asks, just say Zhou Ying’s mood is off and I’m worried about him and want to check on him.”
If Zhou Ying didn’t want her to visit, so be it, but she still needed to request leave.
“You want me to help you ask for leave so you can meet your lover?” Grabbing her arm, he questioned, “Although I warned myself not to fall for her again, hearing these words made Yue Linze laugh in anger, “Tao Yu, what do you take me for?”
“Zhou Ying has a girlfriend…” Tao Yu said, then felt there was no need to explain. She casually pulled over someone from the fifth area to help her request leave from Zhou Ying, then told Yue Linze, “We’re just friends. Please don’t slander me like this in the future.”
Yue Linze’s expression turned indifferent. “Just friends?” He didn’t know when she had become so caring, having just met a few days ago and already being so concerned about him.
Once, he was the one she cared for like this, but now he had been replaced. Yue Linze’s resentment surged, almost threatening to engulf them both.
“What else could we be?” Tao Yu looked at him patiently, feeling no need to explain but afraid he would keep holding her and prevent her from leaving when Lao Chang returned. She lowered her voice, “Not to mention he has a girlfriend and doesn’t even know my gender, in my current state, he wouldn’t even look at me. We’re just ordinary friends.”
“What’s wrong with your current state?” Yue Linze’s inner emotions were already turbulent, and Tao Yu’s words added fuel to the fire. His expression gradually darkened, “How could he think you’re not good enough for him?”
“That’s not what I meant… Hey, let go, don’t hold me back!” Tao Yu couldn’t explain and simply turned cold.
