Chapter 2321: Chapter 2322: Don’t Want to Ruin Anyone
An Baobei quickly typed: "If he knows you like me, he should be a bit considerate and not just pursue me outright, wanting to be with me. Do you know, he hasn’t even mentioned you in front of me, not once."
Ning Zihan also typed: "He still doesn’t know we’ve met in real life, and it seems he doesn’t want to reveal me, which is why he hasn’t mentioned me to you, even pretending not to know that I used the ’One Person’ account to follow you."
"No wonder I didn’t notice at all... Wait, why aren’t you surprised that Ning Zihan is pursuing me?"
"The reason is simple, I noticed a long time ago that he likes you."
"Then this..." An Baobei wasn’t sure how to phrase it; having two friends both like herself, wouldn’t that ruin their friendship?
Ning Zihan understood what An Baobei meant and typed again: "Actually, I don’t like you at all. Even if I did, it’s not the kind of like where I want to be with you. You don’t have to worry about Zihan and me having any conflict over this."
But An Baobei didn’t believe it: "Then why did you always tip me, chat with me, watch my livestreams..."
"I just said, even if I like you, it’s not the kind of like where I want to be with you."
"You’ve indeed never thought about being with me; otherwise, you wouldn’t have been so against meeting me in real life back then. But you also said before, you didn’t want to meet me in real life because he’s your good friend, and you wouldn’t ruin your friendship over me. Now you’re saying there won’t be any conflict..."
"Do you really need me to say there will be conflict to make you happy?"
"Not exactly, it’s just that I feel you’re trying to comfort me, and I don’t want you to comfort me this way." After a pause, An Baobei typed again, "Also, I don’t want to ruin anyone’s relationship."
After another pause, An Baobei typed: "But don’t worry, I’ve already been hurt once by him, I won’t fall for him again and cause a conflict between you two."
On the other side, Ning Zihan looked at this message and immediately panicked, quickly typing: "There’s no need to do this for me."
An Baobei instantly sent a laughing emoji and typed: "It’s not for you, it’s for myself. I won’t let myself get hurt by him again."
Ning Zihan was silent for a long time, reluctantly thinking about typing something to defend himself, but before he could, An Baobei typed again: "Not chatting anymore, I’m logging off. My mom’s been making me go to bed early every day now."
Ning Zihan, as usual, didn’t reply.
An Baobei truly needed to sleep; her mom, An Jing, was quite strict with her, especially after her injury, not letting her use her phone much at night. Now that An Jing had finished her shower, An Baobei quickly put her phone down.
An Jing still slept on the chair beside An Baobei’s hospital bed; turning the chair into a bed was quite comfortable for the hardship-experienced An Jing. After turning off the lights, An Jing talked to An Baobei for a couple more sentences before they went to sleep.
With her own mother right beside her, who would protect her, An Baobei wasn’t afraid of whether someone had died in the hospital before and soon fell asleep, sleeping very soundly.
On the other side, Ning Zihan couldn’t sleep at all.
The night passed just like that.
It wasn’t until the afternoon of the next day that Ning Zihan came to visit An Baobei at the hospital.
For a change, An Baobei took the initiative to speak to him: "Mom, could you step out for a bit? I want to have a word with him."
