Since Ning Yang’s accidental return last time, Ning Shu hasn’t dared to stay here for long.
He was just about to return to the dormitory.
The phone vibrated, and Ning Shu looked down.
It was my brother calling.
Ning Yang asked where he was now.
Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, an indescribable feeling of guilt washing over him. He blinked his eyes and said, “I came out from the library and was planning to go back to the dormitory.”
Ning Yang’s phone call came suddenly and ended just as abruptly.
He was a little puzzled.
But Ning Shu didn’t think much of it.
But he didn’t expect that two days later, news of Ning Yang and Zhou Jingyu fighting spread throughout the school.
Ning Shu stopped the classmate who was speaking, feeling a little short of breath.
“Who fought?”
A few students looked at him and said, “Ningxi fought with Zhou senior, many people saw it.”
Many people questioned the truthfulness of the matter.
After all, Ning Yang and Zhou Jingyu are such good friends, how could they possibly have a conflict?
Maybe it’s fake, but who would make a joke about something like this? Everyone started speculating what argument Ning Yang and Zhou Jingyu had, since they were so close.
The most crucial thing was that Zhou, the senior, didn’t fight back at all.
Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, he finally understood why his roommates had stopped talking when he returned to the dorm.
I didn’t want to say it in front of him.
Ning Shu’s heart clenched, and he stood frozen in place for a while. He had an inkling of what might be happening, but he still called his brother.
In a short while, Ning Yang took the call.
“Little book?”
The sound didn’t seem any different from usual, even a little too flat.
However, Ning Shu was a little uneasy.
He clenched his fingers, unsure if Ning Yang knew. He opened his mouth and spoke in a slightly stiff voice: “I heard you got into a fight with Yu Ge?”
Ning Yang let out a scoff, his tone icy cold. “News travels fast, huh?”
He shifted his tone and asked Ning Shu, “Aren’t you curious why I fought him?”
Ning Shu was very familiar with her brother’s temperament, she blinked.
Her eyelashes fluttered.
“He must have known about it,” he said, pursed lips, “I’m sorry, brother.”
“If Zhou Jingyu dares to do this, I won’t let him get away with it.”
His tone was bland, but his voice was full of malice.
Ning Shu stood in place: “…I am willing to date Yu Ge.” He blinked, and continued, “We like each other.”
Ning Yang interrupted him: “Zhou Jingyu told me that he was the one who first pursued you.”
He said in a cold tone, “You’re too young to know anything.”
Ning Yang only regretted that he had trusted Zhou Jingyu too much. He trusted him so much that he didn’t even notice the other party messing with his younger brother under his nose.
Ning Shu could only say, “No, if I didn’t like him, I wouldn’t date him.”
He was well aware that if he hadn’t fallen for Zhou Jingyu, he wouldn’t be with him.
Although Ning Shu had never been in a relationship, he wasn’t stupid and understood his own feelings.
Ning Yang gritted his teeth: “So, you’re here to speak up for him, aren’t you?”
Ning Shu whispered, “I just want my brother to know that I’ve grown up and can tell right from wrong.”
Ning Yang let out a cold laugh, then hung up on him.
……
Ning sat alone for a while, though she felt a bit uneasy. She was also worried about her brother, but somehow, a weight lifted from her heart.
Regardless of whether Ning Yang agreed or not, he was always going to face these things with Zhou Jingyu.
Ning Shu thought about those rumors.
He went straight to Zhou Jingyu.
Ning Shu knocked on the door.
After a while, the door was opened.
A tall young man stood inside, with injuries on his face.
Ning Shu was stunned.
My eyes are a little bit red.
Zhou Jingyu bent down, rubbed his head gently, and said in a low voice, “It’s nothing serious. You know all about it?”
Ning Shu nodded.
He mumbled, “I called my brother, he sounded… kind of angry.”
Zhou Jingyu was not surprised.
If Ning Yang wasn’t angry, it would be strange. He thought back to that day when the other person came to see him, starting off surprisingly calm and then questioning him, whether he was with Ning Shu.
Zhou Jingyu did not deny it.
Ning Yang directly punched forward.
He did not dodge.
Zhou Jingyu looked at his boyfriend with slightly red eyes, but his expression was surprisingly calm. To comfort the other person, he still pulled him into a hug, kissed his forehead, and said in a low voice, “I’ll take care of it.”
Ning Shu shook her head.
This matter should be handled by them together.
He was holding onto Zhou Jingyu, thinking about what his classmate said, Ning Yang acted unilaterally and wanted to ask Zhou Jingyu why he didn’t fight back.
But he quickly realized it was Ning Yang, his brother.
Ning Shu could only swallow her words. She couldn’t fight back, and she felt pained even if she didn’t.
On one side is the brother, on the other is the boyfriend.
But the brother is also best friends with the other person.
Ning Shu didn’t know what to do.
He doesn’t side with either party.
Zhou Jingyu’s face was bruised, but not disfigured. Ning Shu applied some ointment to his face before returning.
He wanted to have a good talk with Ning Yang.
But Ning Yang seemed very angry and didn’t answer his calls.
Ning Shu had no contact with the other party for several days in a row.
Not until two days later.
Ning Yang called him: “Break up with Zhou Jingyu.”
Ning Shu was startled, then pursed her lips and said no.
Ning Yang said: “I’ve known Zhou Jingyu for several years. He doesn’t like men. Your brother knows you don’t like men either. Wouldn’t it be better to be with a girl than a man?”
Whether Zhou Jingyu likes men or not is unimportant, what’s important is that he dared to set his sights on his own brother.
Ning Yang flicked his cigarette ash.
My mood is at its worst.
Ning Shu lowered her head: “Sometimes, sexual orientation can change for a person, brother. You don’t understand.”
Ning Yang sneered: “I don’t understand? Zhou Jingyu understands better than me. Attacking his best friend’s younger brother? That’s how the future Lawyer Zhou will be, without morals?”
“Every time, it’s Zhou Jingyu. It’s a stark contrast to the previous two words.”
Ning Shu lowered her eyes, but she refused to agree to Ning Yang’s words and break up with Zhou Jingyu.
At school, it was unclear what the situation was between Ning Yang and Zhou Jingyu. Everyone rumored that they had a falling out, but their mutual friends knew better.
They never expected Zhou Shen to be involved with Ning Yang’s younger brother.
