Chapter 223: The Abstinent Gigolo 23

After the orange was knocked onto the floor, Zhou Xiaoxiao froze in shock.

Then she quickly chased after Yun Zhe into the hallway.

“What’s wrong with you?!” she shouted angrily. “I was just peeling an orange for you!”

“I don’t need you to peel oranges for me!” Yun Zhe roared back. “Do I not have hands of my own?!”

But the moment he finished speaking, the door to the neighboring ward opened again.

Xi Jingtong stepped out.

His cold, abstinent face carried an obvious aura of do not approach as he looked at Yun Zhe indifferently.

“One broken arm wasn’t enough?” he asked coldly. “Do you really think this hospital belongs to your family?”

Hearing this, Yun Zhe exploded again.

Remembering that Xi Jingtong had once been a Sanda champion, he could only grit his teeth and throw out threats.

“If you’ve got guts, wait until I recover and we’ll fight again one-on-one! Don’t think I’m scared of you!”

Xi Jingtong merely looked at him calmly.

“I’ll accompany you anytime.”

“But for now, can you shut up?”

Yun Zhe’s expression twisted instantly.

“What’s there to be arrogant about? You’re just a host! A grown man becoming a host—I feel embarrassed for you!”

Xi Jingtong’s expression remained cold and unreadable.

Just then, movement came from inside the ward.

Tang Wan had actually climbed out of bed despite the pain and slowly walked toward the doorway.

Seeing this, Xi Jingtong’s expression changed immediately.

“Why did you get out of bed?” He quickly reached out to support her.

“I’m fine.” Tang Wan grabbed his arm naturally.

Then she looked toward Yun Zhe with open disgust.

“And who are you to mock Tongtong behind his back?”

“Even if he worked as a host, he’s still a rare clean stream in that industry.”

“He’s far more decent than some useless rich second-generation brats who spend all day fighting and causing trouble!”

The moment those words landed, Yun Zhe’s face darkened completely.

Then he glared at Tang Wan angrily.

“You make it sound nice, but aren’t you just keeping him around for fun?!”

Tang Wan laughed from sheer irritation.

“No wonder you can’t win that girl’s heart.”

“Someone with thoughts as filthy as yours doesn’t deserve love at all.”

“As for me and Tongtong…” She lifted her chin slightly. “Even if you insist on calling it ‘keeping’ him, then the period of my support will last a lifetime.”

Yun Zhe’s expression instantly became incomparably ugly.

…

“Ding! Xi Jingtong’s favorability +2!”

“Ding! Xi Jingtong’s favorability +2!”

“Current favorability: 79!”

“Host, only one point left! Hurry up and finish him off!” Little Cutie clenched his fists excitedly.

Tang Wan ignored him entirely.

Instead, she suddenly looked toward Zhou Xiaoxiao.

“You’re obviously the one being pursued,” she said calmly. “So why do you look more miserable than him?”

Zhou Xiaoxiao bit her lip silently.

Why?

Because although Yun Zhe chased her passionately, he had never once made her feel secure.

When he liked her, he chased her desperately.

But the moment his temper flared, he would casually abandon her just as easily.

Everyone around her said she was blind and didn’t know how lucky she was.

After all, Yun Zhe was rich, handsome, and pursued her openly.

Yet she still refused to officially date him.

But nobody knew how afraid she was.

Afraid that once they got together, Yun Zhe would suddenly lose patience one day and casually say:

“I don’t like you anymore.”

…

Meanwhile, after hearing Tang Wan’s words, Yun Zhe subconsciously looked toward Zhou Xiaoxiao.

Seeing the hurt and grievance on her face, he suddenly regretted his earlier outburst.

It was rare for Zhou Xiaoxiao to personally peel fruit for him.

Yet he had knocked it away without hesitation.

For a moment, Yun Zhe’s throat tightened slightly.

“X-Xiaoxiao…” he called awkwardly.

But Zhou Xiaoxiao only glanced at him once before silently turning around and walking back toward the ward.

Forget it.

If he wanted to leave, then let him leave.

Maybe they really weren’t suited for each other after all.

And the moment that thought appeared—

Little Cutie suddenly let out a horrified scream.

“Host, this is bad! BAD!”

“The main system just detected your words as potentially interfering with the relationship development between the male and female leads!”

Tang Wan: “???”

Was she wrong for telling the truth?

Sure enough—

getting involved with the protagonists was nothing but trouble.
