One sentence hurt two people

On the bustling street, He Li and Miao Xiaoyu, a strikingly good-looking couple, walked side by side. Passersby couldn't help but marvel at how well-matched they were, with some even taking photos of them as if they were celebrities.

Miao Xiaoyu had always lived a life where she was the center of attention, so she didn't feel uncomfortable with the situation.

But whenever someone misunderstood her relationship with He Li, Miao Xiaoyu couldn't help but blush and feel shy.

"By the way, what are we doing on Hongyun Street?"

Suppressing the shyness in her heart, Miao Xiaoyu leaned a little closer to He Li before remembering the important matter and asking.

"To buy medicine!" He Li replied.

Miao Xiaoyu was puzzled: "Are you sick?"

"Of course not!" He Li shook his head: "Actually, I found that a pharmacy here has a batch of medicine that hasn't passed quality inspection. That medicine might soon be discovered and recalled by the Pharmaceutical Company."

Medicine that hasn't passed quality inspection? Miao Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes.

She recalled the relevant regulations in her mind... If unqualified medicine flows into the market and is discovered, it will face a fine of up to twenty times the total value of the medicine.

And the minimum fine is ten times or more.

As long as He Li buys this batch of medicine, he can contact the Pharmaceutical Company and easily get hundreds of thousands to millions in compensation, and the Pharmaceutical Company will definitely pay He Li if they don't want the matter to escalate.

This was a more profitable business than selling umbrellas yesterday.

Miao Xiaoyu was really curious how He Li found out.

After all, ordinary people wouldn't know if medicine passed inspection or not.

How did he figure it out? Did he study it?

No way? She hadn't seen him read any related books!

The more Miao Xiaoyu thought, the more curious she became. She couldn't help but tilt her head to sneak a peek at He Li's handsome face.

She hoped to find something, but as she looked, she became mesmerized and completely forgot the thoughts in her mind. Her mind was filled with thoughts like 'so handsome, so good-looking,' which made her blush deeply.

It wasn't until a pharmacy appeared in front of He Li... until he quickly entered and inquired about the medicine he wanted to buy.

Only then did Miao Xiaoyu snap back to reality and shyly follow him.

There were quite a few pharmacies on Hongyun Street.

Not all pharmacies would be stocking up these days, so it would take He Li quite some time to ask each one.

However, Miao Xiaoyu was very happy to accompany him.

For Miao Xiaoyu, no matter how long she spent with He Li, she wouldn't feel bored or annoyed. Instead, she was full of enthusiasm, asking questions and chatting happily with He Li all the way.

But their joyful atmosphere vanished after they encountered three acquaintances... "He Li? Why are you two here too?"

Li Feng asked curiously at the entrance of a pharmacy.

Beside her stood Liu Yuyan, wearing a mask.

And... Li Lingjie, the Simp, who was carrying their things.

Seeing the medicine bags in Li Lingjie's hands and Liu Yuyan's attire,

He Li and Miao Xiaoyu could guess that she had a cold.

It was probably caused by yesterday's rain, as the temperature was quite low last night and Liu Yuyan was dressed rather lightly. Plus, it was windy and rainy on the way back, so she might have gotten drenched... It was no surprise that Liu Yuyan caught a cold.

Originally, He Li didn't intend to bother with the three of them.

But since Li Feng had spoken, he simply nodded casually.

"Just strolling around, and buying some medicine along the way!"

He said, and was about to enter the store with Miao Xiaoyu.

Seeing this, Li Feng couldn't help but say, "He Li, our Yu Yan is sick, aren't you going to comfort her?"

After she asked, Liu Yuyan's gaze was also fixed on He Li.

In the past, let alone being sick, if she had even the slightest discomfort, He Li would be frantic. He would try every possible way to solve it for her, thoughtfully buy medicine, and coax her into taking it.

But now she had a cold... He Li, this guy, clearly saw it, yet pretended not to and was just about to walk into the pharmacy?

If Li Feng hadn't called out to him,

Was he really going to leave directly?

As Liu Yuyan thought about it, she couldn't help but feel wronged again.

She didn't believe that He Li genuinely didn't want to talk to her.

She just felt that He Li was trying to get her attention, wanting her to humble herself and make up, which was why he was acting cold and pretending to heartlessly ignore her to put pressure on her.

"I'm sick, and you're still throwing a tantrum?"

"You used to be so gentle and never like this."

"Now, to make me give in, have you become so heartless?"

"He Li, you've hurt my heart too much!"

"Don't you know that acting like this will really make you lose me?"

Liu Yuyan looked at He Li, her eyes red. Although she didn't speak, countless grievances poured out in her heart.

Unfortunately, He Li couldn't hear her thoughts.

Even if he heard, he wouldn't bother!

So, in response to Li Feng's question, he merely frowned: "You're all grown up, do you still need others to comfort you?"

"Heh, sorry, I don't have time!"

"You..." Li Feng was speechless.

Liu Yuyan's delicate body trembled slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Seeing this, Li Lingjie immediately pointed an accusing finger, filled with righteous indignation: "He Li, how can you be so heartless towards Yu Yan? It's a shame Yu Yan used to treat you so well and even gave you a chance to pursue her."

"You're fighting with her, and she even took the initiative to give you a chance to reconcile."

"Yet you treat her like this again and again..."

"Bullying a girl like this, are you even a man?"

"Exactly!" Li Feng couldn't help but agree: "Yu Yan is actually very kind. If you apologize to her, she might not be unable to forgive you, but treating her like this is really too hurtful to Yu Yan, isn't it?"

He Li grew impatient listening to their words.

He was about to say something when Miao Xiaoyu spoke up... "Are you two her dogs? So good at protecting your master?"

She changed from her gentle shyness towards He Li and stared coldly at Li Lingjie: "Whether He Li is a man or not, Liu Yuyan knows better than you, but a Simp like you, who will never be truly accepted, she probably doesn't know."

As soon as these words were uttered, Li Lingjie's face turned ashen.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Liu Yuyan.

The latter, however, pursed her lips and remained silent.

It wasn't that she didn't want to refute, but Miao Xiaoyu's words were too sharp.

To refute would mean she was saying He Li wasn't a man.

This would definitely make her relationship with He Li even colder. At that point, she might really lose He Li, and Miao Xiaoyu, by speaking up again to defend He Li, could seize the opportunity to snatch He Li from her.

Liu Yuyan saw through Miao Xiaoyu's intentions.

So, she really didn't dare to speak... and not refuting only hurt Li Lingjie. Liu Yuyan never had much affection for Li Lingjie anyway.

If he got hurt, he got hurt; she didn't care!

Therefore, Li Lingjie being hurt was inevitable.

Especially seeing Liu Yuyan remain silent, Li Lingjie felt like his world had collapsed, and he was completely dazed. Li Feng was also shaken, not expecting Miao Xiaoyu to be so skilled at retorting.

One sentence hurt one person's heart and sullied another's innocence!

The problem was that Liu Yuyan and Li Lingjie could only swallow this bitter pill.

She suddenly felt a little worried that Miao Xiaoyu would target her.

But often, what you fear most is what happens.

Miao Xiaoyu's sharp gaze was already directed at her... "People say to guard against fire, theft, and best friends. Are you fanning the flames with ulterior motives?"

"You can't have it, so you want to destroy others' relationships?"

"A treacherous villain, nothing more!"

Hearing this, Li Feng's face changed dramatically.

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

"Nonsense? You weren't fanning the flames and forcing He Li to apologize?"

"I was... but..." Li Feng couldn't explain clearly.

Liu Yuyan's eyes also held a hint of suspicion.

Thinking about it carefully, wasn't it Li Feng who gave her advice and analyzed things when her relationship with He Li became increasingly problematic? Could it be that Li Feng genuinely intended to mislead her, wanting her to break up with He Li?

For a moment, all three of them were in turmoil.

He Li watched Miao Xiaoyu from the side, a smile on his face.

This girl's defense made his heart happy!

Miao Xiaoyu also turned back at this moment, revealing a warm smile again, looking harmless. Seeing this, He Li smiled and said, "I was going to retort, but you beat me to it."

"I... I don't want you... to suffer..."

Miao Xiaoyu responded, clutching the corner of her clothes, her face flushed with shyness.

He Li nodded: "Mm, I know!"

"So, as a token of gratitude, would you like to come to my place for dinner this afternoon?"

He invited her naturally, and Miao Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.

"Okay, I'll go!" She quickly nodded, afraid that He Li would change his mind.

The two then walked into the pharmacy in front of them.

Behind them, the distraught Liu Yuyan instantly bristled... What? He Li invited Miao Xiaoyu to his house for dinner?

What... what did this mean?

Could He Li really be interested in Miao Xiaoyu?

Otherwise, why would he actively invite her to his home?

Thinking that this was actually possible, Liu Yuyan felt a suffocating tightness in her heart, as if an invisible large hand was squeezing it...
