Ling Yu stood to the side, listening to the Fat Guy's complaints, his thoughts tangled like threads blown by the wind. Memories of the Fat Guy's kindness towards him flashed through his mind—moments of laughter and struggle shared together. The Fat Guy had always been there, unhesitatingly offering help when Ling Yu needed it most, and that sincerity and warmth moved him deeply.
Now, seeing the Fat Guy distressed over his inability to find a girlfriend, a wild thought crept into Ling Yu's mind: what if he transformed into Ling Xue? Perhaps he could help his friend in a way similar to those amusing stories online, giving the Fat Guy a boost.
As soon as this thought emerged, it felt as if a thunderbolt struck him. He widened his eyes in disbelief at such a bizarre idea taking root in his mind. Ling Yu's heart plunged into intense conflict and struggle.
On one hand, he found this notion utterly absurd and morally reprehensible. How could he entertain such thoughts? It felt like a desecration of their friendship, an unforgivable mistake. Yet on the other hand, he couldn't shake the idea that if he could truly help the Fat Guy overcome this dilemma and alleviate his suffering, wouldn't that be a different kind of repayment?
His face flushed crimson, and his heart began to race violently as if it were trying to leap from his chest. Ling Yu desperately tried to banish this ridiculous thought from his mind, but it clung stubbornly like a weed that couldn't be uprooted. He felt overwhelmed with confusion and pain, as if he were sinking into a dark quagmire—the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.
He repeatedly questioned himself: why was he having such thoughts? Was there some hidden desire lurking deep within him? Or was it merely a momentary impulse? This inner turmoil left him gasping for breath; he didn't know how to confront himself or how to face the Fat Guy.
At that moment, A Le arrived and said to Ling Yu, "Liu Jiang wants to get in touch with you; let me pass on a message." Ling Yu felt puzzled: "What does Liu Jiang want with me?" A Le shrugged: "I don't know; he just said to contact him when you have time." Ling Yu thought he would check later what Liu Jiang needed.
The Fat Guy noticed Ling Yu's changing expression and asked with concern, "Ling Yu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Ling Yu forced a smile and shook his head, trying to suppress those chaotic thoughts. "It's nothing; I might just be a bit tired."
"Let's focus on how we can solve your actual problem first," A Le said as he patted the Fat Guy on the shoulder, breaking the silence. "Don't rush; fate is unpredictable. Maybe tomorrow you'll meet someone special." The three of them returned to their usual banter, but deep down, Ling Yu still couldn't find complete peace.
When Ling Yu encountered Liu Jiang again, he noticed a hint of heaviness on Liu Jiang's face. Liu Jiang revealed that Xing Ming had been taken in for questioning by the police regarding the abalone incident. He confessed that although his sister had an engagement with the Xing Family, deep down he hoped Ling Yu could become her brother-in-law and encouraged him to pursue her. He also mentioned that he had previously asked about Ling Xue and expressed his longing for her.
"Ling Yu," Liu Jiang said sincerely, "I really believe you and my sister are very compatible. You are brave and responsible; if she could be with you, I would feel at ease."
Ling Yu recalled the passionate moments spent with Liu Jiang while disguised as a woman for missions; his cheeks flushed slightly at the memory. Taking a deep breath, he replied, "Liu Jiang, your sister is indeed exceptional, but I haven't given it much thought yet. She's been through so much; now isn't the time for such discussions."
Liu Jiang sighed softly. "I understand she has suffered greatly, but I believe she will gradually heal. I trust you can bring her happiness."
Ling Yu paused before bringing up Ling Xue's past kidnapping and trauma. "Liu Jiang, you know she has gone through terrible things; she needs time to heal now. Discussing this seems inappropriate; let's allow her to rest first."
Liu Jiang furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright, I understand your concerns." Ling Yu nodded helplessly. "Then let's talk about it later." Yet inside him stirred unease at how their next meeting would unfold.
Liu Jiang continued: "Ling Yu, you may not know this, but the Xing Family is very powerful. Although Xing Ming hasn't faced serious trouble from this incident, he's too reckless. My sister is very accommodating towards him; if they really marry, I'm worried she won't be able to stand up to him. What will her future look like?"
Ling Yu frowned slightly; indeed, someone like Xing Ming was unreliable. But ultimately it was your sister's choice; it wasn't right for them to interfere too much.
"I know," Liu Jiang sighed. "But I just can't shake my worries. I feel she won't be happy with Xing Ming. I still hope she'll consider you more."
Ling Yu remained silent as conflicting thoughts swirled within him. After a while, he said: "Liu Jiang, I promise you that if I see Ling Xue again, I'll convey your words to her. In a few days, I'll arrange for her to meet you."
