It wasn't until the deal fell through that I discovered all the young ladies were yanderes.

Su Yu sighed and was about to take another look at An Ningying's ankle when he heard her say in a panicked tone.

"I...I don't want infirmary play or anything like that!"

"At least, at least I have to go home..."

Su Yu: ?

Did playing ball make you lose your brain?

70. Pathological

The infirmary teacher arrived quickly and was somewhat surprised to see two people sitting in the room.

"What's going on here?"

An Ningying was still blushing and didn't want to speak. Su Yu thought for a moment and then spoke up for her. He explained to the middle-aged female teacher who was already squatting in front of An Ningying:

"She twisted her ankle while playing badminton. Could you please take a look and see if it's serious? If it is, I'll take her to the hospital."

The middle-aged female doctor rolled up An Ningying's trouser legs, asked a few casual questions, and then waved her hand.

"No need to go, it's nothing serious. Just spray some medicine and you'll feel better tomorrow. Do you want ointment or a medicated patch?"

At this moment, An Ningying asked, "What's the difference between ointment and plaster?"

"There's not much difference, except that the ointment heals faster, but it's a bit more troublesome. The medicated patch, on the other hand, might be a bit more difficult to apply, as it takes several days."

"Or you can choose to spray some Yunnan Baiyao, anyway, it's not a big deal."

An Ningying thought for a moment, wondering if Su Yu would not take her out this weekend since her ankle was acting up.

I was originally planning to ask Su Yu out shopping this weekend, which is tomorrow.

Go shopping, watch a movie, have a meal, or take a stroll.

Doesn't that create a lively atmosphere?

An Ningying hesitated for a moment, then said with a hint of hesitation, "Then let's use the ointment."

But An Ningying regretted it soon after.

I can't move after applying the ointment...

The teacher said to leave after applying the ointment for half an hour.

Su Yu looked troubled

At this moment, An Ningying also remembered what Lin Qingmeng had said earlier, and a pitiful look reappeared on her face. Before Su Yu could speak, she preemptively said:

"Can you please not leave?"

Su Yu frowned.

Lin Qingmeng just said that she had to have lunch with An Ningying today. It would be good if An Ningying won, but didn't she lose?

An Ningying missed that ball, so Lin Qingmeng won. According to the agreement, she should have gone to lunch with Lin Qingmeng, but An Ningying was injured.

Is this considered a special case?

Can Lin Qingmeng understand?

What a load of rubbish!

Knowing Lin Qingmeng's personality, if he dared to tell her that he wanted to stay here with An Ningying, her legs wouldn't be able to take it.

Lin Qingmeng could demolish this clinic in a heartbeat.

I took it apart myself while I was at it.

If I don't stay here with An Ningying and instead go to accompany Lin Qingmeng as promised, at most An Ningying will feel wronged, and I won't suffer any great loss.

If I stay here with An Ningying instead of going to Lin Qingmeng, my life will be in danger.

and so…

The choice is easy, isn't it?

An Ningying's grievances, at most, meant that she would have less affection for him in a romantic way, maybe just a little bit. She might have gone back the moment she saw him.

but…

Isn't it also my goal to make An Ningying give up her desires for men and women?

"Then there's no need to hesitate," Su Yu glanced at An Ningying, whose face was full of grievance, and said softly, "get out of class is over."

It means I have to go have dinner with Lin Qingmeng.

In fact, Su Yu was determined to accompany Lin Qingmeng no matter what. Even if he wanted Lin Qingmeng to give up on him, he shouldn't provoke her by violating their agreement.

Yes, An Ningying can protect herself, but…

How long will it protect you?

Can it provide protection at all times?

These are all question marks.

"You're just going to have lunch, so you only need to stay here for half an hour."

An Ningying turned her head away and grabbed Su Yu's sleeve, not wanting him to leave. Su Yu pretended to frown, but his heart was calm.

An Ningying is becoming more and more dependent on herself.

This is not a good thing.

Do you want me to become a person who breaks promises? Or a person who doesn't keep agreements?

People are selfish; they all want the people they like to treat them uniquely.

But that's impossible unless the person you like also likes you.

Because only those who are favored are truly in love.

Without love, how can there be any favoritism?

An Ningying didn't continue. She could see that Su Yu's attitude was firm, and she also understood why Su Yu was doing this. If she continued to bother him, he would hate her.

but…

I still feel a little wronged.

After settling An Ningying in, Su Yu left the infirmary. As he walked to the door, the teacher spoke to him.

Why aren't you with your girlfriend?

You can't say things like that, or some rich girl will tear me apart if she hears it. Su Yu quickly smiled at the teacher and scratched his head.

"Ah, she's not my girlfriend, and I don't have a girlfriend anymore. Something came up, so I had to leave."

The teacher thought for a moment, but still didn't say it.

That's why I'm spending time with her—because I don't have a girlfriend!

Young people these days are really strange.

After Su Yu left, An Ningying stared blankly at her ankle.

It seems he still doesn't really like me, and hasn't fallen in love with me...

I'm so useless. I lost to Lin Qingmeng again. Now that I've lost, Su Yu has to go have dinner with Lin Qingmeng again. If...

I wish I hadn't accepted that bet.

If he didn't accept, Su Yu wouldn't have to go to dinner with Lin Qingmeng, and could stay here with him.

If I hadn't lost...

Wait, An Ningying suddenly realized something. She seemed to have been thinking about the wrong thing all along. Why did she want to not lose to her?

If Lin Qingmeng had never existed in the first place…

Wouldn't that make me Su Yu's girlfriend?

If Lin Qingmeng didn't exist...

An Ningying's thoughts drifted far away; it seemed that when she was injured, Su Yu showed concern for her.

Although it wasn't much, it was real, and he stayed with me for a long time after I got injured, and he even took me away in front of Lin Qingmeng.

So, so…

If you get injured...

If my injury had been any more serious today, Su Yu would have had to take me to the hospital, and if we went to the hospital, he could have stayed with me longer.

Does that mean I don't have to go have dinner with Lin Qingmeng?

No, if my condition gets worse, I'll have to be hospitalized. If I'm hospitalized, he can stay with me, and then we can be together all the time.

An Ningying's eyes lit up, and for a moment she stopped thinking about Lin Qingmeng's problem, her mind was full of thoughts.

What if my injury were more serious...

that…

Her eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her lips. That smile was like a calm lake, but it was rippled by something strange that happened at that moment.

A drop of ink falls into clear water, staining the water with its color, and in the end, the water stained with ink can never return to its original state.

Her smile now looked sickly.

However, his sickly appearance seemed quite different from that of two other people.

71 Dinner Party

After leaving An Ningying's place, Su Yu went straight to the cafeteria. It was already late, and more than ten minutes had passed since get out of class ended.

After An Ningying and Lin Qingmeng finished playing ball, Su Yu took An Ningying to the infirmary, which was almost the end of get out of class. Su Yu wasted some time in the infirmary.

Su Yu entered the cafeteria, which was already crowded at this time of day, making it difficult to walk. After thinking for a moment, Su Yu walked towards the place where he and Lin Qingmeng often sat at noon.

This is the corner of the cafeteria, not many people are there, only two seats by the window and a small table.

There were already one or two plates on the table. Lin Qingmeng had brought them herself, or rather, someone else had brought them to her. Su Yu used to always freeload meals when he was with Lin Qingmeng.

He's getting good nutrition now, so Lin Qingmeng probably deserves some credit for that.

Lin Qingmeng was still sipping her milk tea, which she must have bought while waiting for him.
