Chapter 223 Strange Gu Tingyu

She didn't expect Zhou Zeran to suddenly make such a request.

Xu Rou's face showed a hint of hesitation.

“Zeran, this… I might not be able to help you. Gu Tingyu, he…” Xu Rou’s voice trembled slightly; she didn’t know how to refuse Zhou Zeran.

Zhou Zeran's face immediately darkened: "Xu Rou, you still say you care about our relationship? You won't even help with such a small favor?"

In a corner of the charity auction, Xu Rou was caught in a deep dilemma.

Her bright eyes flickered with hesitation and entanglement, like stars twinkling uncertainly in the night sky.

Xu Rou lowered her head slightly, her hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, as if this could ease the unease in her heart.

“Zeran, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just… I can clearly feel that Gu Tingyu has been somewhat distant from me lately because of Li Yan’s presence.”

All I have now is that Gu Tingyu still cares about me. I'm afraid this will make our relationship even more complicated." Xu Rou's voice was soft but trembling, carrying a hint of helplessness and worry.

Seeing Xu Rou's troubled expression, Zhou Zeran's suspicions grew wildly like weeds.

His eyes darkened, like the sky before a storm.

Zhou Zeran pursed his lips tightly, trying to suppress his dissatisfaction, and said, "What? You're unwilling to help me because you've changed your mind? Do you only have Gu Tingyu in your heart now, and have thrown all our years of feelings to the back of your mind?"

Zhou Zeran's words carried a hint of questioning and sarcasm, his voice rising slightly as if venting his anger.

Xu Rou was startled when she heard Zhou Zeran's words.

She looked up and saw the hurt in Zhou Zeran's eyes, and a pang of heartache welled up in her own.

His rejection disappointed and saddened Zhou Zeran, and he had not yet completely let go of the matter with Xiao Yu.

Xu Rou didn't want to lose Zhou Zeran, and her heart was in turmoil: "Zeran, I, you..."

Zhou Zeran noticed Xu Rou's wavering, so he immediately adjusted his strategy, pretending to be magnanimous and slightly raising the corners of his mouth to reveal a bitter smile.

"Never mind, Xiaorou, I shouldn't have pressured you. Maybe I was too selfish, only considering my own interests and not your feelings."

I know you're in a difficult position right now, and I shouldn't have put you in this predicament. His voice was low and gentle, tinged with helplessness and self-reproach.

Zhou Zeran lowered his head slightly, a hint of disappointment and sadness in his eyes.

His shoulders were trembling slightly, as if he were enduring immense pain.

Xu Rou felt even more heartache seeing Zhou Zeran's vulnerable appearance.

She felt she couldn't just watch Zhou Zeran be disappointed and heartbroken.

then.

Xu Rou made a decision in her heart: she would help Zhou Zeran, no matter how difficult it was.

"Zeran, don't say that. I promise you, I'll help you find someone." Xu Rou looked at Zhou Zeran with a more determined gaze, her voice gentle.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Zeran's eyes when he heard Xu Rou's words.

He looked up at Xu Rou, his heart filled with gratitude and anticipation: "Xu Rou, thank you. I knew you wouldn't abandon me."

Zhou Zeran's voice was filled with joy and emotion, and a bright smile finally appeared on his face.

The two stood in the corner. Zhou Zeran noticed that Xu Rou was hugging her arms because she was a little cold. He hesitated for a moment, then took off his coat and put it on Xu Rou.

Xu Rou stared at him blankly, her heart filled with joy.
