Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1271: Chapter 1271: There Will Be No Relationship

"Xiao Yu, about the situation back then..." Tang Jun didn’t know how to explain, but he thought Yuan Yu must have understood.

"No matter the situation back then, wasn’t I there with you? Yet you were still determined to drive me away."

Yuan Yu pressed her lips together. He could never imagine how much she hoped Tang Jun would ask her to stay when she said those words.

But regrettably, there was no attempt to keep her.

Even when she returned to the company, Tang Jun still showed no intention of keeping her.

Later, after she was kidnapped and saw Tang Jun again, she still felt excited, but no longer with the same intensity as before. The excitement, joy, and nervous anticipation were gone, leaving only bitterness.

His eyes were healed, and Yuan Yu was happier than anyone for him, but she knew very well that things could never be the same between them.

"Xiao Yu, I don’t want to drag you down, don’t want to be a burden to you." Tang Jun anxiously explained.

Yuan Yu said nothing, just looked at him steadily.

Tang Jun felt guilty under Yuan Yu’s gaze and, for a moment, wished his eyes hadn’t healed. Otherwise, if he confessed again, he would surely succeed.

He had already prepared to tell Yuan Yu that he liked her too when they met again.

But his eyes healed, so why did Yuan Yu’s attitude change?

Tang Jun was baffled and said, "Xiao Yu, even if my eyes weren’t healed, I intended to tell you clearly that I wanted to be with you."

Yuan Yu shrugged. Although she didn’t say she didn’t believe it, her expression clearly showed her disbelief in Tang Jun’s words.

"That day..." Tang Jun initially wanted to say he merely hesitated for a moment; he didn’t not want to keep her. But then he suddenly asked, "Xiao Yu, are you really planning to be with Xu Qinglang?"

Tang Jun recalled what Ni Yan said to him back at the village—that Xu Qinglang and Yuan Yu were engaged. Although he didn’t believe it, Xu Qinglang risked his life to save Yuan Yu that day, perhaps really changed her mind.

"It’s none of your business."

Yuan Yu lowered her head, pretending to look at medical records, but only she knew none of them registered. She had hoped to hear what she wanted, but all Tang Jun did was talk about this. She said, "If you have nothing else, hurry up and go back, I still have work."

"Xiao Yu, why did you agree to stay with me before, but now that my eyes are healed, you drive me away?" Tang Jun couldn’t understand.

"Ha."

Yuan Yu lifted her head and gave a big smile, showing her white teeth. The smile was wide, yet it didn’t reach her eyes.

"Tang Jun, if you don’t understand, don’t bother thinking about it. Anyway, there won’t be any relationship between us."

Yuan Yu directly issued an eviction order.

Tang Jun wanted to talk about Xu Qinglang, but Yuan Yu wouldn’t say a word.

"Bro, so, did you win the beauty’s heart?" He Ming and Cai Yufei had been waiting for Tang Jun. Upon his return, they looked at him curiously.

Cai Yufei smiled and said, "Are we getting a sister-in-law?"

Tang Jun walked right past them, not intending to answer. Back in the dormitory, after taking a shower, he saw them still crouching there.

Tang Jun lay directly on the bed. He could apply for a single dorm, but as he was alone, he left those dorms for those who needed them more.

Therefore, Tang Jun always stayed in a four-person dorm.

"Bro."

Cai Yufei and He Ming wanted to gossip, but Tang Jun fell asleep. The two looked at each other and could only sleep as well.

In the big dormitory, it was just a coincidence that no one else was there, only the three of them. Otherwise, Cai Yufei and He Ming couldn’t have asked Tang Jun so directly.

The two felt like having cat claws scratching their hearts; they couldn’t sleep without knowing the result.

They tossed and turned like pancakes, while Tang Jun, the main character, remained silent.

Finally, as Cai Yufei and He Ming were about to fall asleep, Tang Jun spoke: "What do you think it means if a woman stands by you in your time of trouble but ignores and refuses you after you’ve recovered?"

Cai Yufei and He Ming were jolted awake, the sleepiness they managed to gather instantly dispelled by the blazing fire of gossip.

"Bro, did Doctor Yuan reject you?" He Ming directly asked.

Tang Jun opened his eyes. The dormitory lights were out, but He Ming could still feel the cold in his gaze.

He Ming chuckled awkwardly and shut his mouth.

Cai Yufei said, "Xiao Jun, I think if Doctor Yuan rejected you, maybe she really likes Xu Qinglang."

"Impossible, a person’s feelings can’t change just like that." Tang Jun instinctively denied it; he didn’t like hearing Xu Qinglang’s name.

From the start, when he got to know Xu Qinglang, he didn’t like him.

"But you can’t stop Xu Qinglang’s desperate love for Doctor Yuan."

Cai Yufei muttered. The company was already buzzing about it, and Cai Yufei knew the specifics from He Ming. Though what Xu Qinglang did might have been in vain, risking life and limb for Yuan Yu was a fact.

Recently, Yuan Yu ran back and forth to take care of Xu Qinglang, and everyone speculated that Doctor Yuan and Xu Qinglang might indeed get together.

Tang Jun was silent: "..."

He wondered, would Yuan Yu really promise herself to Xu Qinglang because he risked his life for her?

This wasn’t ancient times; how could such a thing happen?

The next day, Tang Jun went looking for Yuan Yu again, but was told she had left.

Tang Jun felt he couldn’t just sit around, but he had just returned to the company; there was a lot to do, and he couldn’t leave. So, he begged Tang Yue to come over to the company.

Tang Yue received the call and heard Tang Jun’s stammering words; she didn’t refuse and agreed right away.

She guessed it had something to do with Yuan Yu, but being her silly younger brother, she couldn’t refuse to help.

At the hospital.

After her shift, Yuan Yu went to visit Xu Qinglang. After some time recuperating, Xu Qinglang’s health had almost fully recovered.

"Xiao Yu, you’re here." Xu Qinglang looked at Yuan Yu enthusiastically and said, "My parents brought me lots of porridge. Do you want some?"

"No need, I ate something on the way. I’m not hungry."

Yuan Yu smiled and refused, "Is it confirmed you’re being discharged today? What did the doctor say?"

"Yes, I’m being discharged today. The doctor says I’ve recovered well." Xu Qinglang, who had been seeing Yuan Yu every day, felt a bit regretful about leaving. "Xiao Yu, after I’m discharged, are you not going to come over anymore?"

Yuan Yu was silent for a moment and said, "Xu Qinglang, I..."
