Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2864: Chapter 2862: Saying One Thing, Meaning Another

”Not interested, I just want to elevate my medical skills, everything else feels so far away from me.” Nangong Susu only wanted to study medicine, but she couldn’t get past her own heart. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be stuck with her current achievements; she could have reached a higher level.

”I don’t quite think so. Let’s go inside first and talk slowly.” Nangong Beiying said while glancing at X, who clearly had the ability to make her cousin so agitated; he couldn’t just be a passerby.

”Alright.”

No one had any objections. It seemed fine to go inside, eat, and chat together. But in moments like these, it became something for everyone.

So when Nangong Susu sat down and saw who was next to her, she almost swore; why did this damn man have to come in as well, especially next to her? It’s so annoying.

Nangong Susu wanted to say something but didn’t know how to start.

After all, this meal wasn’t initiated by her. Since she wasn’t the host, how could she chase away someone else’s guest?

”What’s wrong?” X asked, confused, sensing the hostile gaze beside him.

”Nothing.” Nangong Susu took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and spoke lightly. She was afraid she might directly lash out without notice.

Even she didn’t understand why she had such a big issue with him. There was always a feeling of ’hating iron for not becoming steel.’ Of all things, why choose this path?

Perhaps it’s because a part of her heart was unveiled again.

That’s why she couldn’t stand X and just wished he could stay far away. As long as he didn’t appear in front of her, she wouldn’t have to remember those things she wished not to think about.

It’s not that she disliked X as a person; she simply didn’t want to see him walk this path.

But she had no stance to talk, nor could she directly tell someone, ”Stop going down this path, or you’ll die a horrible death.” Or, maybe, he’d not realize he’d get beaten to death.

Either way, she couldn’t say it. Since that was the case, she had to stick to the principle of ’out of sight, out of mind.’

”Hypocritical, do you know this shows a bad behavior?” X had no idea what it was about. To him, Nangong Susu was just an amusing woman; nothing more yet.

However, he didn’t realize that liking someone starts with a fondness and then gradually grows into affection through interactions.

X had been too well-protected by his older brother, with no contact with the outside world, so he found everything outside quite amusing, though he was aware of many other things.

And that knowledge came from his brother’s teachings: to survive, one must learn.

But his brother said, ”A pretty face can be dangerous; don’t get deceived by women.”

So he had never interacted with women. Nangong Susu was the first woman to touch his skin, even though it was just applying medicine, it was contact nonetheless.

Because of this, he realized how different women are from men and how different they make one feel.

If it weren’t for Silver Wolf’s status being untouchable to him, he would definitely fight for the women around him.

A woman who can remain calm and enjoy a meal and watch a show under such circumstances is rare.

Just when he found this woman interesting and wanted to strike up a conversation, the result was Silver Wolf stepping in and taking over.

Thinking about it made him upset, but what could he do? Clearly, they were a couple; no matter how bad he could be, he didn’t want to be the third wheel.

That’s just how he is; bad with principles, yet he’s not truly bad.

Everything he did was simply for survival. If he wasn’t ruthless, others would take his life. Then, even if he wanted to be ruthless, he couldn’t.
