Pei Chenyi smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll tell you. I heard that Zhang Qiang seems to have broken up with Du Mei."
I was shocked. "What did you say?"
Pei Chenyi chuckled, "I heard it from a friend."
I was speechless. "Why haven't I heard anything about it?"
Pei Chenyi thought for a moment. "Maybe Du Mei didn't tell you because she didn't want you to worry."
I frowned. Du Mei has always been someone who can't keep things to herself; if Zhang Qiang really broke up with her, she wouldn't keep it from me.
Unless there is more to this story.
After lunch, I went upstairs with Pei Chenyi.
Pei Chenyi suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how's your face? Is it better?"
I nodded. "Much better, thanks for asking."
Pei Chenyi leaned in closer and stared at me intently.
I instinctively took a step back. "What are you looking at?"
Pei Chenyi laughed, "Your face is still a bit red."
I sighed helplessly. "The skin barrier was damaged after the allergy; it won't recover that quickly."
Pei Chenyi smiled, "Actually, you're quite experienced."
I replied, "It was forced out of me."
Pei Chenyi chuckled, "You really don't need to worry too much; this ointment works well. Just use it for a few more days and you'll be fine."
I sighed again. "I hope so."
Pei Chenyi smiled again, "If you're really worried, I have some repair serum I can give you."
I shook my head. "No need; I can't use anything right now."
Pei Chenyi was taken aback. "Why not?"
I sighed helplessly, "I'm allergic to everything I use right now."
Pei Chenyi sympathetically patted my shoulder, "Then you'll just have to endure it."
I nodded and didn't say anything more.
When I got home in the evening, I lay in bed looking at my phone.
Suddenly, I saw that Du Mei had sent me a voice message.
"Yao Yao, what are you doing?"
I quickly replied, "I just got home and I'm about to take a shower and go to sleep. What about you?"
Du Mei responded, "I'm still working overtime."
I couldn't help but complain, "Why is your company so busy?"
Du Mei sent a crying emoji: "Don't mention it, we have so much going on lately."
I was puzzled, "What happened?"
Du Mei was silent for a moment, "Forget it, I need to get back to work."
I quickly said, "Wait, Du Mei, is there something going on between you and Zhang Qiang?"
Du Mei fell silent again.
I couldn't help but press on, "What exactly happened? Tell me."
After thinking for a long time, Du Mei slowly spoke up, "Yao Yao, I think Zhang Qiang might have someone new."
I was shocked, "What did you say?"
Du Mei sniffed, "He's been coming home late a lot lately. When I ask him where he's been, he doesn't say anything. Even on the phone, he just brushes me off. I feel like he's with another woman."
I was speechless, "Have you asked him?"
Du Mei sighed, "Of course I have, but he always impatiently says I'm overthinking."
I frowned, "How can he be like that?"
Du Mei sobbed, "Yao Yao, I'm really sad. I love him so much; how could he betray me?"
I quickly comforted her, " Du Mei, don't be too upset. Maybe things aren't as you think."
Du Mei choked with emotion and said, “Yao Yao, I really don’t know what to do.”
I sighed softly and replied, “ Du Mei, if you want to cry, just cry. I’m here for you.”
Du Mei burst into tears and exclaimed, “Yao Yao, I really love him so much. I can’t live without him!”
Listening to her sobs broke my heart. I said, “ Du Mei, don’t say that. Maybe he’s just confused for a moment.”
Du Mei cried out, “Yao Yao, I really don’t know what to do.”
I sighed helplessly; when it comes to love, who can really make sense of it?
