Chapter 141: Feeling Guilty

Translator: 549690339

Luo Ziling didn’t receive a reply from Ouyang Feifei until he was preparing to go to bed.

“I wouldn’t dare to trouble Mr. Luo any further.”

This simple sentence made Luo Ziling feel a whole bunch of frustration.

After thinking it over, he sent another message to Ouyang Feifei, “Don’t be so formal, I didn’t mean anything else by it. You suddenly gave me such expensive clothes, and it made me panic. You know I only use a few hundred yuan Redmi phone, and your sister even teased me about being poor. If you’re free tomorrow, I can come over and treat you.”

After sending the message, Luo Ziling remembered that he had promised to have dinner with Yang Qingyin tomorrow, and she had invited him to a big meal.

If he was to treat Ouyang Feifei, then he wouldn’t be able to keep his appointment with Yang Qingyin, which made him feel frustrated once he realized this.

He was secretly hoping that Ouyang Feifei was still angry and would refuse his treatment.

But to his disappointment, Ouyang Feifei unexpectedly changed her tone and agreed.

“Okay then, come over tomorrow and continue treating me. I’ve already forgiven you for such a big matter, not to mention this little thing.”

Seeing this message from Ouyang Feifei, Luo Ziling really felt like hugging his phone and crying.

It was like digging a hole for himself to jump into, and then burying himself in it.

If he really went to treat Ouyang Feifei, his plans for a big meal with Yang Qingyin might fall through.

Because of this, Luo Ziling temporarily didn’t pay attention to the special meaning contained in the messages from Ouyang Feifei.

After wrestling with frustration for a while, he finally realized the deeper meaning behind Ouyang Feifei’s words.

“It turns out she still cares a lot about breaking off the engagement,” Luo Ziling said to himself with a mix of tears and laughter, thinking it over before sending another message, “I’m well aware that I’m not worthy of you!”

But Ouyang Feifei didn’t reply to his message.

This made Luo Ziling even more frustrated, but he finally stopped sending messages to Ouyang Feifei.

Because he didn’t sleep well that night, Luo Ziling was a bit absent-minded during military training the next day, and he made quite a few mistakes, which led to being scolded by the instructor. Luckily, the instructor didn’t punish him, only urging him to focus and not let his mind wander.

During a break in training, Luo Ziling was pulled aside by the three guys from his dorm room for questioning and a scolding.

“Boss, what’s with you today, looking so out of it?” Cao Jianhui asked fiercely, “Spit it out if there’s anything going on, don’t hide anything from us!”

“Exactly, if you consider us brothers, then share what’s bothering you. If not, we’re breaking ties with you!” Li Fuming followed up with a threat.

Before Wu Longjiang could say anything, Luo Ziling broke free impatiently and answered, “After military training today, I have to go treat someone, and I’m thinking about that.”

After looking at each other for a while, Cao Jianhui and the other two decided not to believe what Luo Ziling said.

“Who are you kidding!” Cao Jianhui retorted with dissatisfaction, “It must be some woman trouble. Come clean, is it because of Ouyang Huihui? Or some other woman?”

“Out with it!” Wu Longjiang followed up, pressing the issue aggressively.

“I can’t cure that person’s illness for the time being, and it’s tough to arrange the time, so I’m troubled,” Luo Ziling gave Cao Jianhui a kick on the big butt, “If you keep spreading rumors, I’ll toss you guys into the pool later!”

Luo Ziling’s threat was quite deterrent; after hearing about being thrown into the pool, the three guys all got scared.

“We care about you, don’t we?” Cao Jianhui said, grinning cheekily and chuckling, “Did you know? Recently, there have been fewer posts about you on the campus forum, and we’re not satisfied with that.”

“Exactly,” Li Fuming echoed, “You are a hot topic among the freshmen, how can you not be the center of attention? Hehe, if there’s any news, you’d better tell us first!”

Luo Ziling also came to understand that these people wanted to fish for gossip from him and then post it on the forum with an authoritative tone to garner others’ attention. He couldn’t help but become furious.

After a flurry of punches and kicks, he chased the three guys away.

Finally, there was peace and quiet.

At lunchtime, Luo Ziling received a message from Yang Qingyin.

“Junior, eat less for lunch and save some room for a big dinner with your senior sister tonight!”

Yang Qingyin was treating him to a big meal, and there was no way Luo Ziling would refuse that, but the promise he made to Ouyang Feifei still troubled him.

After thinking it over, he tentatively asked Yang Qingyin, “Senior sister, how about we have dinner a bit later tonight? I’ll take a shower and get all dressed up before coming to meet you—how does that sound?”

“What kind of look are you planning to dress up as?” Yang Qingyin’s message came with several giggling emojis.

“I can’t just show up smelling like sweat from military training to meet senior sister, that would not only ruin my image but also make you dizzy from the stench!” Luo Ziling replied dead seriously, not even including a single emoji.

After a string of surprised emojis, Yang Qingyin replied, “Alright then, but what time do you think you can get all dressed up?”

Then another message came, “Junior, you’re too funny!”

“How about around six o’clock?”

After sending this message, Luo Ziling added, “At that time, it’ll be getting dark. The darkness can conceal your radiant beauty and spare you from the covetous eyes of those with ill intentions!”

Having sent this message, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but marvel at his own ability to spout nonsense so confidently, turning an originally guilty matter into something so righteous, that he couldn’t help but admire himself.

“Alright, six o’clock it is.”

“Seems like junior isn’t as upright and forthright as I thought!”

Yang Qingyin sent two consecutive messages, accompanied by several giggling emojis.

Seeing these two messages from Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling felt too embarrassed to keep deceiving her and confessed, “Alright, I confess, I need to see a patient this afternoon, so I’ll be delayed a bit, plus I need to shower, so I’m hoping we can have your big dinner a bit later. The hungrier my stomach, the more I’ll probably eat, so just don’t feel too bad about it.”

His message was met with several eye-rolling emojis from Yang Qingyin.

“Okay then, we’ll go out for dinner after you’ve taken care of everything. Remember to message me or call me when it’s time.”

Seeing Yang Qingyin’s message, Luo Ziling breathed a sigh of relief.

He already knew Yang Qingyin’s cell phone number, so he readily agreed.

In the afternoon, he took the opportunity to send a message to Ouyang Feifei, saying he could come over earlier in the afternoon for the medical consultation. He would wait at the entrance of the housing complex, so there was no need for her to pick him up.

While messaging Ouyang Feifei, Luo Ziling actually felt like he was engaging in an affair, experiencing a sense of guilt.

Ouyang Feifei replied more than half an hour later, telling Luo Ziling that she would come to pick him up early and would wait at the entrance of the university around four o’clock. Seeing Ouyang Feifei’s message finally made Luo Ziling breathe easier.
