"That was a gift from my younger brother. I think it was a discounted item that I happened to find while passing by a flower shop."

Lu Mingfei glanced at it and then looked away. It was something Lu Mingze had left here last night. He examined it this morning and, finding it to be just an ordinary fruit basket and bouquet, paid it no further attention. He was just somewhat amazed that even a devil could understand human relationships.

His so-called classmates were clearly not even as good as a devil. As soon as Zhao Menghua came in, he sat down on the cot without any politeness, crossed his legs, crossed his arms, and looked impatient.

He would only show a slight smile when Chen Wenwen looked over; otherwise, he would have a long face and look like he was there to collect a debt rather than to visit a patient.

Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao's attention was only focused on the furnishings and luxurious decorations in the ward, looking around from left to right.

"If you like it here, I can have the doctor reserve a room for you, and you can move in tonight... Don't worry, my dad is one of the shareholders of this hospital, so the rooms here are free for you."

Su Xiaoqiang watched the two bowling balls rolling around in the ward and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. "I said I could come by myself, but you insisted that we were all from the literature club and shamelessly came along. You said you were here to visit a classmate, but is this how you visit someone?"

She spoke without any politeness, almost to the point of naming names and directly cursing him. Lu Mingfei finally understood why these classmates, with whom he had a so-so relationship, had suddenly decided to visit him.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern. The doctor said I need to rest. If you've seen enough, please go back."

Lu Mingfei said calmly, but the memories in his mind were still churning, and all the past events were being dug up one by one, which suddenly made him feel restless.

The doctor is right. Some memories are impossible to forget. Those memories have become an anchor in your mind, standing there forever.

You thought you had forgotten, but every time you return here, the anchor drags you along with those good and bad memories, pulling you through the storm, trying to take you to the bottom of the sea.

"Lu Mingfei, what do you mean by this? We came to visit you out of kindness, and you're just turning us away like this?"

Xu Yanyan was rendered speechless by Su Xiaoqiang, but when facing Lu Mingfei, he was as brave as a legendary war god who could fight all kinds of monsters with his bare hands.

"Don't think we don't know. You got into a fight with some thugs off-campus and ended up in the hospital. The police even came to the school this morning! Do you know why only we're here to see you? Because everyone knows you got into trouble outside!"

"Xu Yanyan!"

Su Xiaoqiang shouted angrily. She didn't expect this guy to say such a thing in front of Lu Mingfei. She had already heard about Lu Mingfei's condition from the doctor and knew that he was extremely emotionally unstable and that anything could cause this boy to break down.

She grabbed the handbag from the bed and smashed it down on Xu Yanyan's head.

Xu Yanyan didn't dare to dodge. He dared to lash out at Lu Mingfei because they were both good-for-nothings, and among good-for-nothings, whoever stood higher could trample the other on. But when facing Su Xiaoqiang, he didn't dare to act recklessly. The little fairy could make their parents lose their jobs with just one phone call.

Although Su Xiaoqiang looked fierce, girls are naturally weaker, and Xu Yanyan is thick-skinned, so even after being hit like that, her skin didn't turn red. Instead, she couldn't help but scratch the itch.

Su Xiaoqiang was furious at the other party's shameless attitude, thinking to herself that she must have been stupid to believe that these guys really wanted to visit Lu Mingfei. She should have thrown them off the car halfway there!

But thinking about it now is useless. Xu Yanyan has said everything she should and shouldn't have said. She turned to look at Lu Mingfei, hoping that her words hadn't upset him.

But Lu Mingfei remained expressionless, as if he had just watched a good show:

"So? What are you trying to say?"

"Alright, Lu Mingfei, Xu Yanyan didn't do it on purpose. Today, the police called your classmates out for a talk, and everyone knows about your situation, but they don't know exactly what happened. They only know that you were hospitalized because you got into a fight with some thugs."

Chen Wenwen didn't want to see her classmates arguing, so she stepped in as a peacemaker, saying, "Just focus on getting better. When you're better, go back to school and explain things to your classmates, and the misunderstanding will be cleared up."

"So, what are you trying to say?"

Lu Mingfei kept repeating that sentence.

Chen Wenwen was slightly embarrassed. She hadn't expected Lu Mingfei to be so cold to her. In the past, as long as she spoke, Lu Mingfei would immediately put down whatever he was doing and wag his tail to run to her.

But now, looking down at Chen Wenwen, he asked that question with undisguised coldness in his eyes.

"I just don't want to see you two arguing..."

Chen Wenwen's tears fell instantly. She covered her face and sobbed softly, "Lu Mingfei, please don't do this, I'm scared..."

Zhao Menghua couldn't sit still any longer. He jumped off the bed, hurriedly pulled out tissues from his pocket to wipe Chen Wenwen's tears, and glared angrily at Lu Mingfei.

"Lu Mingfei, what's wrong with you? Do you think you're so cool just because you fought with some thugs? Let me tell you, I could take on ten of you by myself! Don't think you're so tough..."

"If you really just didn't want to see us argue, why didn't you say anything just now?"

Lu Mingfei interrupted him without hesitation, still looking directly at Chen Wenwen, "In the end, you never really considered me one of you, right? So you could be indifferent when he said those things, but I can't refute him, because you are a whole."

"No, that's not it..."

Chen Wenwen wanted to explain, but her pitiful appearance only made Lu Mingfei more irritated.

"Enough! Lu Mingfei! I don't care if you're really crazy or just pretending. Don't think you're something special just because you've fought with a few thugs. You might have even asked for trouble yourself. After all, it takes two to tango!"

Zhao Menghua shielded Chen Wenwen behind him, then looked at Lu Mingfei with a cold smile, "Otherwise, why has nothing like this ever happened at our school before, but it's the other way around?"

"That's just sophistry! Lu Mingfei is the victim!"

Su Xiaoqiang was furious and wanted to hit Zhao Menghua with her handbag, but Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao had already stood on either side of Zhao Menghua, blocking the handbag.

Suddenly, Xiaotiannv felt her eyes sting and large tears streamed down her face. She suddenly understood the meaning of Lu Mingfei's words: Zhao Menghua and Chen Wenwen were a whole. She thought she had become part of it, but in reality, it was just tears that had been deliberately dropped between someone else's fingers.

"Alright, Su Xiaoqiang, Lu Mingfei is just a lunatic. He's not worth our concern at all. Let's go back."

Zhao Menghua suddenly felt a little soft-hearted and took out a tissue to hand over, but Xiao Tiannv slapped it away.

"Us? Who's talking about 'us'?"

Su Xiaoqiang fiercely wiped away her tears with her sleeve, raised her head, and looked directly into Zhao Menghua's eyes. "Get out of here with your Chen Wenwen!"

"I think you've gone mad too!"

Zhao Menghua felt a little guilty. He had been holding Chen Wenwen the whole time, and everyone knew it was an open secret. But now the little fairy had pointed it out directly. Chen Wenwen gently pushed him away and said with red eyes, "I'm fine."

What a great opportunity to strengthen your relationship!

Zhao Menghua glared at Su Xiaoqiang, thinking to himself that this woman was truly ungrateful and that he should just let her stay with this madman by herself.

He turned around, intending to lead the group out, but Lu Mingfei was already standing beside the ward door, gently closing it and locking it from the inside.

Lu Mingfei turned his head, a faint smile on his face:

"Who says it takes two to tango?"
