Chapter 196 Distress
Lin Yi, hearing Qin Xiaoxu say this, was also somewhat puzzled, since he always thought that his brother, Lin Jie, was very normal during their interactions and didn't seem to have any problems with his personality. The guy was just straightforward.
Could it be that he had never truly understood his own brother?
At this thought, Lin Yi found himself at a loss for words, standing there stunned.
Qin Xiaoxu was even more bewildered. Why did Lin Jie act so clueless and dumb when they were together, and why did he sometimes seem like a simpleton with a low EQ, especially in the straightforwardness of a stereotypical male? Yet, when he got home, he became incredibly clever and knew exactly how to please someone. It was like he was two different people.
Han Xuewei heard this and couldn't help but laugh.
Leaning in towards Qin Xiaoxu, she said, "Now that you're in love, have you turned your brain to mush? When you encounter such an issue, why don't you just ask him directly, instead of guessing endlessly here?"
"You are boyfriend and girlfriend now, what can't you talk about?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu bowed her head and said, "Ah, we've only been dating for a few days. I just feel like something is off with him, but if he really has that dual personality disorder, then I'll just have to accept it."
"Stop overthinking it. I think as boyfriend and girlfriend, you should be honest with each other. Lin Jie is a good guy. He might have different thoughts from you, but from my experience, I can tell you that Lin Jie isn't much of a liar. So if you ask him, he will surely tell you the truth."
After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu could only nod in agreement. After all, she didn't have much experience with love and tended to be straightforward and casual, which made it easy for her to get along with guys.
However, even though she often ended up being friends with men like a brother, she was quite sensitive about her own feelings, just reluctant to show this side in front of Lin Jie.
Moreover, when it comes to love, men and women indeed think differently. Women tend to be more emotional and sometimes overthink, while men are generally more rational and might be slow to respond to the situation at hand.
Lin Yi and Han Xuewei, seeing Qin Xiaoxu in distress, offered her a good deal of advice.
After listening to them, Qin Xiaoxu decided that it was no use worrying and overthinking; she had to directly ask Lin Jie what was going on.
While they were chatting, a young woman approached and said, "Xiaoxu, Vivi, why are you here so early?"
The woman's voice was filled with surprise. When Qin Xiaoxu and Han Xuewei heard the voice, they immediately turned around to see Ye Caiwei, whom they had been waiting for a long time.
"Caiwei, you're finally here!"
Han Xuewei and Qin Xiaoxu called out to Ye Caiwei almost simultaneously, as a gentle-looking woman dressed in a long skirt approached them.
Ye Caiwei sat down and began, "It's been a long time, and her gaze settled on Lin Yi, as it was quite unexpected to see him sitting there."
Upon noticing, Han Xuewei quickly said, "Caiwei, this is my husband, Lin Yi, and Lin Yi, this is my university roommate I told you about, Ye Caiwei."
Hearing this, Lin Yi politely nodded his head and greeted Ye Caiwei, who responded in kind.
Aside from exchanging greetings, they didn't have much communication, after all, they weren't acquainted with each other.
Moreover, Ye Caiwei had come to meet with Han Xuewei and Qin Xiaoxu.
As soon as Qin Xiaoxu saw Ye Caiwei, he said, "Caiwei, where have you been all these three years? We haven't heard from you, and we were very worried."
Hearing this, Ye Caiwei showed an expression of helplessness, and seeing her like that, Han Xuewei and Qin Xiaoxu both felt that something was off.
Without speaking, Ye Caiwei simply sat there blankly. Seeing her like this, Han Xuewei immediately grew anxious and said, "Caiwei, have you run into some trouble? You must tell us if you have problems. We can both help you, and if it's a matter of money, we can take on the burden for you. Don't be afraid!"
Han Xuewei spoke very tenderly, and only then did Ye Caiwei open up her heart. Her eyes grew moist as she looked at Han Xuewei and the other person.
She felt grateful at the moment. During college, Han Xuewei had often taken care of her, and now Han Xuewei was still the first person to show concern for her.
"Thank you both, you two are really kind," Ye Caiwei said with a touch of grievance and then continued, "Actually, this matter definitely has something to do with money, but it's not that serious."
As Ye Caiwei spoke, Qin Xiaoxu and Han Xuewen listened intently, but Ye Caiwei felt somewhat embarrassed and glanced towards Lin Yi. She did not want to reveal her current situation to anyone other than them.
Han Xuewei understood instantly and addressed Lin Yi directly, "Honey, I think you should go out for a while, and I'll call you after we're done talking, okay?"
As Han Xuewei spoke, Lin Yi looked at them and seemed to feel it was indeed inappropriate for him to stay. He nodded and stood up.
"Alright, I'll go around other places first. Just give me a call when you're done."
Lin Yi said, not wanting to listen to their gossip, and considering that Ye Caiwei's behavior suggested she had something she didn't want him to know.
Seeing no need to say more, he greeted them and left.
With Lin Yi gone, Ye Caiwei could no longer hold herself together. She covered her face, and tears began to slide down. Actually, she had felt very repressed all day, but only now, seeing Han Xuewei and the others, could she let it out.
Seeing her like this, Han Xuewei and Qin Xiaoxu immediately passed her tissues and patted her back. "What happened? Why are you suddenly crying?"
As Qin Xiaoxu spoke, Han Xuewei also said, "You have to tell us what's going on. Don't keep everything bottled up inside. If something's wrong, you should have spoken to us earlier, you silly girl."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As Han Xuewei spoke, seeing how distressed Ye Caiwei was made them both feel uneasy.
Ye Caiwei sniffled for a while, took the tissues, and dried her tears, her emotions gradually calming down.
Looking at Han Xuewei and Qin Xiaoxu, she couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, I deleted your phone numbers before. The truth is I really didn't know what to say, I didn't know what to do." Continue reading at empire
