Chapter 1372 Unrequited Love 26
Now one is crying and begging Chu Qian not to go on blind dates, and the other is half-lying on the sofa, practically disabled. It all stems from her; if she hadn't been so talkative, none of this would have happened.

At that time, Shi Yuexin was already in college. Even if Chu Qian really went on a blind date, as long as no one here said anything, who would know?

The small hall quieted down. Shi Yuexin sat opposite Xu Yanzhen, sobbing, her eyes filled with guilt and sadness.

Seeing her cry like this, Xu Yanzhen felt bad too. Finally, Xu Yanzhen sighed: "Yuexin, why don't we just give up? Chu Lu... he can't make a choice."

"He felt guilty towards his mother-in-law. Although his wife died unexpectedly, the two were deeply in love at the time. The sudden death of one of them left him with only an eternal mark on his heart. The living can never win against the dead."

"She died when he loved her most, and from then on, in his heart, she will always be the most beautiful. How can anyone later erase these marks?"

Shi Yuexin blew her nose: "But I'm not reconciled. I've liked him since I was little. I held him when I was a baby. I've only ever liked him since I was a child."

“Teacher, I can’t let go. He’s worried about his deceased wife, his mother-in-law, and my brother. He’s never softened his heart for me even once.”

Xu Yanzhen felt helpless: "He and your brother are friends, and your brother and your parents are both against it. How could he possibly sever such a long-standing friendship?"

"Yuexin, don't force a man to make a choice. No matter which side he chooses, he will regret it later."

Shi Yuexin raised her voice: "If I don't pressure him, he'll go on blind dates. Will he remarry in the future? What am I supposed to do then? Can't he just choose me even once?"

“I’ve liked him for so many years, teacher, I really can’t give up now.”

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Shi Yuexin emotionally, Xu Yanzhen tried another angle: "So what do you like about Chu Lu? His professionalism? His excellence? His refinement? His gentleness?"

When Shi Yuexin mentioned Chu Qian, her eyes softened: "He has everything. I think he's good in every way, and he's very loyal and affectionate."

Xu Yanzhen said softly, "He is affectionate and loyal to everyone else, but he is too cruel to you. He doesn't completely reject you, but he enjoys your closeness."

“If he were responsible, he should take the initiative to solve the problem, instead of letting you cry and make a scene, making enemies of the whole world.”

"Is there really no way he can solve this? He's a grown man, he has money and social status, and he's smart. Can't he really handle his mother-in-law?"

Shi Yuexin spoke up for Chu Qian: "He's also suffering inside. Over the years, he's always been thinking about his deceased wife. His mother-in-law has a grudge against him because of this, so he's not having an easy time either."

“His wife died in an accident, and he is in pain, but that’s not your fault.” Xu Yanzhen pointed out incisively: “He has been single for so many years and has endured the emotional abuse from his mother-in-law, but that’s not your fault.”

Why do you take these burdens upon yourself?

Ji Yingqiu said calmly, "She feels sorry for men, but feeling sorry for men will lead to unhappiness. Look at me, I am the best example."

Shi Yuexin remained silent. Xu Yanzhen knew she was stuck in a rut and no one could reason with her. So she turned to Tan You for help: "Teacher Tan, Shi Yuexin and Chu Qian..."

Tan You had long seen the inseparable bond between Shi Yuexin and Chu Qian: "They are destined to be together, their fates are intertwined and complicated, you'd better not interfere."

Xu Yanzhen felt even more exhausted. Even after all this, she was still considered her destined partner.

That's true. Think about Shi Yuexin and Chu Qian later on; didn't they still get married and stay together? They went through all sorts of difficulties, but in the end, didn't they have a happy ending?
On the contrary, she herself has always had bad luck. "Yuexin, before you love Chu Qian, you should love yourself first." Xu Yanzhen finally said this: "No matter how good Chu Qian is, if he doesn't favor you and only lets you fight alone, then he is not a good match."

"That's all I have to say, Yuexin. Go back and think it over carefully."

She stood up, supporting her lower back. Zhou Jinxu, who had been watching her closely, came over and supported her waist, his eyes full of worry: "Can you walk?"

Xu Yanzhen, supporting her waist with both hands, said, "It's alright, I'll walk slower."

"I was planning to treat you to dinner tonight, but it looks like I'll have to postpone it."

Zhou Jinxu said calmly, "We'll talk about it later. I'll have the housekeeper take care of you personally this week, it's not convenient for you to be alone."

Xu Yanzhen felt a chill run down her spine: "Isn't it okay? I can manage on my own."

Zhou Jinxu suddenly laughed and said, "You don't need Auntie to take care of you, I'll take care of you."

"Then I'll trouble Auntie to take care of him," Xu Yanzhen quickly changed her mind; she didn't want to invite Zhou Jinxu into her home. With Zhou Jinxu's domineering personality, it would be incredibly difficult to get rid of him.

Zhou Jinxu took Xu Yanzhen's phone and looked at everyone: "Yanzhen is not feeling well. I'll take her to the hospital first. Please excuse me."

He helped Xu Yanzhen walk a few steps, and everyone saw him whisper a few words to her. Then he picked her up and strode away.

Kim Tae-hyun clicked his tongue twice: "Look at their backs, they're such a perfect match, it's like something out of an idol drama."

Kim Hyuk's face was stiff, and he remained silent. He was eliminated just like that? Why did he feel so unhappy?
Ji Yingqiu looked at the two people walking away and saw Xu Yanzhen's arm on Zhou Jinxu's shoulder. Her high ponytail hung down beside Zhou Jinxu's upper arm, and the ponytail swayed with Zhou Jinxu's steps.

Come to think of it, how long has it been since she and Yu Ning have been this close?
Xu Zhengxiu also expressed some regret: "I was originally planning to have dinner with Teacher Xu tonight. How about we get together?"

Yu Ning shrugged: "I'm fine with anything. It depends on my wife's opinion. She's a strong woman, so I listen to her."

Ji Yingqiu had already arrived: "I'm sorry, I have plans for tonight and can't join everyone for dinner. I'll pay for today's meal. I hope everyone has a great time."

Yu Ning winked at everyone and followed Ji Yingqiu to the dressing room. Shi Cheng also dragged Meng Qingtong back over there, and it was unclear what they had talked about, but Meng Qingtong's expression was very unpleasant.

Soon Shi Cheng and the others left as well. Li Guanglu looked at the empty hall, then at his two friends: "Want to play ball again?"

"That's enough fighting. We've had enough of the show, it's time to go back." Kim Tae-hyun quickly stood up: "We must invite Jin-seo and Teacher Xu another day. We didn't have enough fun at today's gathering."

Li Guanglu was the most rational: "This Chu Lu is a bit greedy. He wants love but can't bear to part with his brothers, so he lets a little girl cause trouble. Sigh."

Xu Zhengxiu: "I saw that you two were having a very pleasant conversation, so I thought you had a good impression of him."

Li Guanglu: "I did have a good impression of him before, but now, it's all gone."

"Let's go, let's get together again later."
