The Female Lead is Looking at Me Differently (GL) - Chapter 41.1

“Fu Yu and I… we’ve drawn a line between us.”

Upon hearing Wen Zhao’s words, Zhan Fu’s eyes widened involuntarily, with a look of “Is that what I think it means?” However, she quickly realized that it was indeed what she thought.

Wen Zhao’s current expression had already said it all.

Zhan Fu didn’t have time to be surprised. She took Wen Zhao’s hand and her mind was full of how to comfort her friend.

“Drawn a line… does that mean you’ve broken up?” Zhan Fu asked cautiously, trying not to hurt Wen Zhao. She observed Wen Zhao’s expression and asked softly, “But from what I observed before, the atmosphere between the two of you was pretty good. Why would you suddenly break up? Was it because of a misunderstanding?”

Wen Zhao lowered her head, hiding the sadness in her heart and eyes. She asked, “You thought… the atmosphere between us was pretty good?”

Zhan Fu thought for a moment, then replied, “Because from the very beginning when I saw the two of you, I noticed something different and caring about you in Fu Yu’s eyes. That kind of look was definitely not the emotion of looking at a companion. Later on… it was the day you were poisoned, you were carried back by Fu Yu, do you remember?”

Wen Zhao was unaware of the process in between, but she had deduced what had happened the next day based on the marks on her body and the changes in the environment.

So facing Zhan Fu’s question, she nodded.

It was indeed Fu Yu who had helped her with the antidote that day, and it was also Fu Yu who brought her back.

Zhan Fu said, “Although I don’t know Fu Yu well, just based on my initial observations, I can already understand some of her personality. If she doesn’t like someone, or doesn’t care about someone, I don’t think Miss Fu Yu would help her with the antidote.”

“In other words, she helped you with the antidote, she must like you. That’s why at that time, she couldn’t help herself and couldn’t resist, and things naturally happened.”

Wen Zhao’s eyelashes trembled.

She knew that although she was initially blinded, no matter how foolish she was, she saw Fu Yu’s feelings in that kiss. It was ridiculous that at first, she thought Fu Yu was just being friendly and helpful, and that Fu Yu’s feelings were just those of a companion.

But that wasn’t the problem now. Wen Zhao suppressed the sourness in her heart, slowly clenched her hands, and her voice was slightly hoarse, “No, you don’t know… After that, I rejected Fu Yu.”

“Huh?” Zhan Fu was a little surprised, “You rejected her what?”

“I said I wouldn’t like her, never, this feeling… is wrong, so I’ll never respond.”

Zhan Fu’s eyes widened and she gasped.

“So did you two break up because of this? If that’s the case, then shouldn’t you…” Her words trailed off. In fact, as she spoke, she realized the error in her own words.

If Wen Zhao got what she wanted and successfully rejected Fu Yu, then why would she be feeling this way now? This shows that something else happened in between.

So Zhan Fu stopped and waited for Wen Zhao to speak.

Wen Zhao shook her head gently and told her the original story; including the fact that Fu Yu helped her with the antidote for those few days, including Fu Yu’s proposal to pretend to be a couple before taking the antidote, and also including… after seven days, they returned to their original positions.

After hearing this, Zhan Fu frowned slightly, sorting out her thoughts, “But there’s one thing I don’t understand, since as you said, you’ve already given Fu Yu what you owed her, and you don’t need to have any more contact with her, then why are you so sad now?”

She pointed out the thing that Wen Zhao didn’t dare to face, bit by bit.

“You’ve only returned to your original positions, although there will be a short period of adjustment, but if you don’t like Fu Yu, then this feeling of loss will disappear soon, and you won’t be so sad.”

“You’re sad because of Fu Yu’s coldness, because of her indifference, because of her sudden distance, and all of this, doesn’t it just show… that you’ve already fallen in love?”

“Because you’ve already fallen in love, so you can’t bear her withdrawal and her indifference.”

Wen Zhao clenched her fists and grabbed her dress, creating a wrinkle.

She lowered her head, not daring to expose her current expression to Zhan Fu, but even without seeing it, Wen Zhao knew that her expression must be extremely ugly at this moment.

It was too embarrassing and too pathetic…

“I don’t know…” her voice trembled, with a hint of hoarseness, “I don’t know if I’ve fallen in love with her, I don’t know, I’m not sure, and I…”

She didn’t dare to face it.

After all, the current situation was already painful enough for her.

She really didn’t dare to fall in love with Fu Yu.

If she’s already fallen for Fu Yu, can she really accept it?

Wen Zhao knew that between the two difficult choices of Fu Yu and going home, she inevitably wanted to lean towards the latter. Because… she really wanted to go home.

And she was afraid of not being able to go back.

So even though Wen Zhao had already fallen for Fu Yu, she didn’t dare to face it. As long as she didn’t face it, she would never have to make a choice.

She didn’t have to make the painful choice between her love and her hometown.

And what was even more painful was that she would still choose her hometown in the end. So she had to give up her love.

Wen Zhao knew she was a helpless coward, so until the end, she didn’t dare to look back, and could only avoid the difficult choice by escaping and rejecting.

Zhan Fu sighed lightly. She reached out and gently rubbed Wen Zhao’s hair, her voice soft but every word was like a pearl.

“You’ve fallen for Fu Yu, A Zhao. That’s why you’re sad about her rejection and indifference, and that’s why your heart is so sour. All of this is just because you’ve fallen for her. So why not face it? Isn’t it good to be honest with your heart?”

“You and Fu Yu are in love with each other, so why don’t you take that step?”

Wen Zhao’s body trembled slightly, as if she couldn’t bear it. She lowered her head, and a tear fell down, landing on the back of her hand.

Zhan Fu looked surprised, “A Zhao?”

Wen Zhao’s voice was nasal and crying, “Because, I can’t… Zhan Fu, I really can’t.”

She suddenly leaned forward and hugged Zhan Fu, burying her face in the other’s chest, finally crying uncontrollably.

“I really can’t do it, I don’t know what to do, I can’t do it…”

Because going home had always been her goal, and it was a place she had always wanted to return to. Her hometown was behind her, and she didn’t dare to step forward, even though Fu Yu was there.

But it was so painful, it was like her heart was wrapped in thorns, tighter and tighter, and the short but sharp thorns were also piercing into her heart with this force.

At first, she was unaware, but as the force increased, the pain gradually seeped in, and when she realized it, there was no escape.

Wen Zhao knew this was all her own doing. Since she had chosen this path, she shouldn’t regret it, no matter how painful it was.

But the heart is made of flesh.

She couldn’t bear it.

Wen Zhao had no one to tell, but fortunately, Zhan Fu asked. Finally, in front of Zhan Fu, she could no longer face it, her emotions broke down, and she cried uncontrollably.

Facing Wen Zhao’s sudden emotional breakdown, Zhan Fu was undoubtedly stunned.
