Chapter 128: Sudden Confession

Xiao Ying opened her mouth a few times but did not know what to say.

Looking at the white clouds in the sky, her eyes lit up. She said, “Zhou Yao, the weather today is really good. Let’s return to the research lab and continue with the experiment.”

When she was about to leave, Zhou Yao grabbed her arm. This time, he did not give her a chance to escape.

He said straightforwardly, “I like you. Can you consider me?”

Xiao Ying’s body stiffened. She had not expected the thing he wanted to talk about to be this.

Zhou Yao felt a lot more relaxed after speaking. He looked at Xiao Ying and said, “Let’s go. Let’s return to the research lab.”

Xiao Ying followed him blankly back to the laboratory, performing her actions mechanically.

Zhou Yao returned to his original state and orbited around Xiao Ying.

This scene made everyone feel much more comfortable.

At night, Xiao Ying was stopped by Zhou Yao and asked, “Have you considered it?”

Xiao Ying had thought about it all day and had already made her decision. She said straightforwardly, “I’m sorry, I can’t accept you.”

Zhou Yao actually felt that he was not very surprised, as if he had expected this.

He could even say calmly, “It’s okay.”

He continued to follow her without a word. Watching her enter the dormitory, a hint of pain flashed across his eyes.

This pain seemed to have spread from his heart to the rest of his body.

The pain in his stomach made his face pale.

He slowly shuffled into his room.

Coincidentally, Cheng Yao came to visit him and noticed that something was wrong. He quickly sent him to the hospital.

Xiao Ying had only received the news the next day. She wanted to go visit him, but she was also afraid that she would give him the wrong impression.

If she could not give him what he wanted, it was best to cut it off as soon as possible.

Suppressing her worry, she waited until the afternoon.

Cheng Yao suddenly came to her door.

Xiao Ying did not know why he was here, so she did not take the initiative to speak.

Cheng Yao’s expression was strange for a moment before he said with a smile, “Zhou Yao wanted to explain to you yesterday, but he suddenly had gastric problems, so he didn’t have a chance to explain.”

Xiao Ying looked at him in confusion.

Cheng Yao continued, “Did that child confess his feelings for you yesterday?”

Xiao Ying nodded awkwardly.

“I was the one who told him to do that. I said that he would never find a girlfriend in his life, but who knew that guy would get angry and confess to you directly? It’s all my fault.”

Xiao Ying was a little angry. If she had agreed yesterday, then the situation would have been even more awkward.

For some reason, Cheng Yao sighed and said, “Go see him. I have things to do. He has no family here. You’re the only one he knows.”

Xiao Ying paused for a moment but still went to the hospital.

After seeing the pale-faced person on the hospital bed with the IV drip, all her anger dissipated.

Frowning, she said, “Serves you right.”

Zhou Yao saw her and smiled. His expression was the same as usual as he said, “I’m sorry. I wanted to explain things to you yesterday, but I didn’t expect my stomach to act up again.”

When Xiao Ying heard this, her anger rose again. “That joke wasn’t funny at all. If I agreed yesterday, what would you do?”

Zhou Yao whispered, “If only.”

Xiao Ying did not hear him clearly. “What did you say?”

Zhou Yao shook his head and said, “I’m sorry.”

Xiao Ying was not a petty person. Seeing his weak expression, she said, “Forget it, I’ll buy you some porridge. Wait here.”

Zhou Yao’s gaze followed her.

Xiao Ying walked out of the ward and heaved a sigh of relief.

She looked at the door that she had just closed with a complicated expression.

In less than two days, Zhou Yao appeared energetically in the research lab again.

It was just in time for Elder Zheng to select members.

There was only one spot this time, and the hot favorites were Xiao Ying and Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao did not want to snatch the position from Xiao Ying, but he also did not want to stay far away from her.

Elder Zheng personally interviewed each person one by one. He was full of praise for Xiao Ying. Just as everyone thought that the candidate was Xiao Ying…
