Chen Feng nodded, then advised, "Even though they're my middle school classmates and our relationship is okay, to be frank, Yu Xiaohui had so feelings for before. I don't know if she still does, but it's best to keep a certain distance from them in the future. Otherwise, you might be fooled by them."
Sun Xiaorui shook her head slightly and said, "After getting along these past few days, their temperants and personalities are quite good. As neighbors and friends, they're suitable. As for your relationship with them, you can manage it yourself. I won't interfere."
Though Sun Xiaorui spoke openly and freely, Chen Feng felt a bit uncomfortable and couldn't help asking, "If I got along well with Xiao Hui, would you still not care?"
Sun Xiaorui looked at him, blinked, then smiled faintly and said, "It wouldn't matter even if I did care. You're too broad-minded now, and I can't stop you, nor do I have the right to stop you."
Hearing this, Chen Feng could only smile a bit ruefully and didn't continue the topic.
The next morning, during breakfast, Lou Xiaojiao ntioned they wanted to treat everyone to lunch at a nearby upscale restaurant to thank Chen Feng for the hospitality over the past few days.
Chen Feng imdiately said he had plans today at noon and couldn't make it.
Wu ngting readily agreed, and seeing Wu ngting agree, Sun Xiaorui also nodded in agreent.
Chen Feng's absence caused so disappointnt for Lou Xiaojiao and Yu Xiaohui, but they couldn't insist since Chen Feng had already made plans.
The truth was, Chen Feng hadn't made any plans; he just didn't want more interaction with Yu Xiaohui and Lou Xiaojiao.
After breakfast, Lou Xiaojiao and Yu Xiaohui went out to buy household items for the new apartnt, giving Chen Feng a chance to discuss Yu Xiaohui and the others with Wu ngting.
"I've seen you getting along well with Xiao Hui and the others these days, but don't you know Xiao Hui has feelings for ?"
Chen Feng asked directly.
Wu ngting wasn't surprised, just smiled and said, "Actually, both of them have so feelings for you. Otherwise, why would they co so far to be your neighbors?"
Chen Feng frowned and asked, "If you know, why do you still get along so well with them?"
Wu ngting straightforwardly replied, "I don't care if they have feelings for you; I care whether you have feelings for them. You're excellent now and attract many won; they're widows now, so it's normal for them to have feelings for you. But if you're with every woman you et, I'd be really disappointed."
Chen Feng quickly shook his head, "I have no feelings for them, and I'm not the type to be with every woman I et."
Wu ngting chuckled twice and said, "I won't interfere with how you indulge yourself now. But rember our initial agreent; in over a month, it's ti for you to fulfill it. I hope you'll keep your word."
She said this in Lu City's dialect, which Sun Xiaorui didn't understand.
Chen Feng felt a bit stifled when she brought up their six-month agreent again, but he didn't show it at all. Instead, he smiled and replied in Lu City's dialect, "Of course I'll keep my promise. But I also hope that when the ti cos, you'll give so ti to sort out my relationships with the other won."
Wu ngting just looked at him steadily without saying a word, eventually making Chen Feng feel uneasy and avoid her gaze, changing the topic in Mandarin, "I hope you'll try to minimize your contact with Yu Xiaohui and the others, especially Lou Xiaojiao. She dropped out after middle school and mixed with society, very slick and cunning. Don't let her trick you."
Wu ngting frowned, "She's not as bad as you say. She might have so societal habits, but she's straightforward, says whatever is on her mind, isn't pretentious, and I think that's good."
Chen Feng replied irritably, "Believe whatever you want."
Sun Xiaorui finally had a chance to chi in, "We'll definitely listen to you. We'll reduce contact with them in the future."
Wu ngting didn't refute her.
"That's it. I'm going upstairs to change clothes and then heading out," Chen Feng said, standing up.
Wu ngting asked, "Where are you going?"
Chen Feng replied casually, "The hospital. To check on the girl I helped last ti."
Both Sun and Wu knew about Chu Xiaoling and were not surprised.
"Should we go with you?" Wu ngting asked again.
"No need. I'll just check on her and leave. It's been a while since I last visited. After visiting, I'm off to play with Qin Zhen."
"Qin Zhen is always stuck to Pei Lei, why disturb their private ti?"
"He's the one who called , saying I should visit if I'm free."
"Alright then, do as you see fit."
Chen Feng didn't say more, went upstairs to change, and then went out.
Chen Feng wasn't lying to them; he went to the hospital first to check on Chu Xiaoling's recovery, which was going well. The doctors suggested she stay for about another week before being discharged.
Of course, this was just the first treatnt phase; she'd need follow-ups and a second phase.
The best news was that her first chemotherapy session was effective, and a bone marrow transplant wasn't necessary.
However, the saved money was running low, so Chen Feng deposited another 100,000.
After chatting with Chu Xiaoling for a few minutes, he left with her grateful gaze.
Leaving the hospital, Chen Feng called Qin Zhen, asking if he was ho. Unluckily, since it was Sunday, Qin Zhen and Pei Lei took a holiday and drove to a forested spot nearby for cooling off and fun.
Over the phone, Qin Zhen teasingly asked if Chen Feng wanted to join them, to which Chen Feng promptly replied, "Get lost," and hung up.
Sitting in his car, Chen Feng didn't feel like returning to No. 8 Villa, unsure of where to go.
After thinking for a while, Chen Feng rembered he had an apartnt at East Lake Garden he hadn't visited in a while since buying it.
With no other plans today, Chen Feng drove to his apartnt at East Lake Garden.
Upon entering, there was a sll due to being uninhabited for a while.
Chen Feng quickly opened the windows for ventilation, grabbed a chair, and sat by the balcony window on the second floor, gazing at the scenery outside.
Coincidentally, soone was on the neighboring balcony too, long hair down, wearing shorts and a tank top, holding a coffee cup, one long white leg raised, catching Chen Feng's eye for an extra glance.
Feeling his gaze, she turned to look at him, as their eyes t, both were caught off guard.
