After that day, I started avoiding Zhou Fansheng.

Since he had someone he liked, I should leave.

I mostly ignored the messages Zhou Fansheng sent me and didn't reply.

Of course, I wasn't completely unaware of Zhou Fansheng's news. Occasionally, I could gather information from conversations between classmates, such as where Zhou Fansheng and Wen Ting went and what they did.

Just as the course of medication was finished, Tang Jiyun sent me a message.

[Don't forget to come and get the medicine today. I'm waiting for you at the hospital.]

[Okay.]

I replied, holding back my tears.

I didn't expect that he still cared about me. It felt good to be cared for like a family member.

After getting the medicine, Tang Jiyun didn't ask me to leave immediately. He looked at his wrist and glanced at his watch. "Let's have a meal together. I'll be off work soon."

"Okay."

This time, Tang Jiyun didn't drive. Instead, he chose to walk with me.

Tang Jiyun asked me how I've been recently, like an elder, and I obediently answered one by one.

Tang Jiyun suddenly stopped, and I looked up in confusion to see Zhou Fansheng and Wen Ting standing not far away. Zhou Fansheng's gaze landed almost sharply on Tang Jiyun's face.

"Do you know each other?"

Tang Jiyun turned his head and asked me.

"Yeah." I nodded.

Zhou Fansheng strode towards me, with Wen Ting following closely behind him.

"Shen Nuo, come here."

Zhou Fansheng shouted at me harshly, as if giving me orders as usual.

I saw Wen Ting behind him, her face showing hesitation and sadness. I think Wen Ting really likes him.

So this time, I didn't make any moves, I just looked at him.

After a moment, I gently tugged at Tang Jiyun's sleeve, almost beggarly, and said, "Let's go, I want to eat somewhere else."

"Okay, no problem."

Tang Jiyun patted the back of my hand to comfort me and turned around to leave with me.

We entered another restaurant, and until the end, Tang Jiyun didn't ask me any questions.

"Don't you want to ask about what happened just now?" I said.

Tang Jiyun smiled gracefully. "Do you like him?"

His words made me silent for a long time. Whether I like him or not, I couldn't come up with an answer.

In the past, I definitely liked him, but now I don't know anymore.

Perhaps it's more of guilt and habit.

Until I returned to the dormitory, I still hadn't figured out the answer.

On this early morning, I received a message from the class monitor.

He said there's no time for everyone to gather together, and there will be even less time in the future when we start working.

If it were before, I would definitely refuse, but since I got sick, I started to cherish every meeting.

So I agreed to come.

I arrived at the private room at six in the evening and found that quite a few people were already there. The class monitor came over to greet me and patted my shoulder. "You finally came, I was worried."

"I promised, so I definitely came."

I smiled and walked inside. I looked around the room and realized Zhou Fansheng hadn't come. I put my mind at ease.

I found a corner and sat down. Suddenly, I remembered that I hadn't taken my medicine yet.

I took the medicine with warm water.

After most of the classmates arrived, the class monitor suggested playing a game to liven up the atmosphere.

Everyone clapped their hands and said they wanted to play Truth or Dare.

After a few rounds, the atmosphere in the room became lively. It was at this moment that I realized I had the lowest score. The class monitor excitedly shouted, "Come on, Shen Nuo, choose Truth or Dare."

"Truth."

Whether it was the effect of alcohol or the medication I took latein the evening, my mind felt a little fuzzy. But I was determined to face whatever question they threw at me.

"Alright, Shen Nuo, here's your question," the class monitor said with a mischievous smile. "Do you still have feelings for Zhou Fansheng?"

The room fell silent, and all eyes turned to me. I felt my heart skip a beat, and I struggled to find the right words.

"I... I don't know," I finally managed to stammer out. "Things have changed, and I'm still trying to figure out my own feelings."

Some classmates exchanged glances, and a few nodded understandingly. The class monitor, sensing the tension, quickly changed the topic and the game continued.

As the night went on, I found myself reflecting on the question asked during the game. Did I still have feelings for Zhou Fansheng? The truth was, I wasn't sure anymore. Our relationship had gone through so many ups and downs, and my illness had further complicated things.

Maybe it was time for me to focus on myself and my own well-being. I needed to find my own happiness and not rely on someone else to define it for me.

The gathering continued, and everyone enjoyed themselves. I laughed and chatted with my classmates, feeling a sense of camaraderie that I hadn't felt in a long time.

Eventually, the night came to an end, and we said our goodbyes. As I walked back to my dormitory, I couldn't help but think about Zhou Fansheng and Wen Ting. I hoped they would find happiness together, just as I hoped to find my own happiness in the future.

From that day forward, I focused on healing myself, both physically and emotionally. I immersed myself in my studies and pursued my passions. Gradually, the memories of Zhou Fansheng became less painful, and I learned to let go of the past.

The journey wasn't easy, but with time, I grew stronger and discovered a newfound sense of self-worth. I realized that my happiness shouldn't depend on someone else's actions or feelings.

Life moved on, and I embraced the opportunities that came my way. I made new friends, pursued my career, and found joy in the simple moments of everyday life.

The story of Zhou Fansheng and me became a part of my past, a chapter in my life that shaped me but no longer defined me. I learned to cherish myself and the relationships that brought positivity and love into my life.

And as I looked toward the future, I knew that the best was yet to come.
