Chapter 188 -188 Changed to Liking Him?
The seafood porridge was served, and Bai Anzhi ladled a bowl for her, “Have some porridge first to avoid hurting your stomach.”
Wan Manyu looked at the seafood porridge, “I’m not hungry.”
“Then you just want to drink? Do you think Gu Wei will start liking you if you drink yourself to death? I saw in the hospital room just now, he barely glanced at you.”
Wan Manyu paused.
“Ah Xi didn’t give you many looks either.”
“Let’s not put each other down here.”
Bai Anzhi pushed the bowl closer to her again: “Eat up, after you’re full, I’ll take you somewhere where you can let off some steam.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
Wan Manyu, heeding his words, truly started eating the porridge.
Ever since she returned to the country, the two of them had been inseparable.
Bai Anzhi joined her in her craziness, drinking with her every day.
So she figured that Bai Anzhi would definitely take her to the bar tonight as well, to dance in the dance floor together.
She heeded his advice and ate the porridge.
The hot and fragrant porridge opened up her appetite, and then she ate some barbecue.
When they finished eating, she said to him, “I’ve eaten too much, let’s go have a drink.”
Bai Anzhi smiled and started driving.
But he didn’t head to a bar, he drove to an amusement park instead.

Wan Manyu looked at the large cartoon statues at the entrance of the amusement park and said without any enthusiasm, “Have you been watching too many idol dramas? So you’re taking me to play these rides? These things don’t relieve stress at all.”
“Who’s going to play rides right after eating? I was thinking of taking you to sit on the tallest Ferris wheel.”
“What’s so good about riding a Ferris wheel?”
“I don’t know either, maybe we’ll know after riding it.”
Bai Anzhi paid extra for two VIP tickets, and then joined Wan Manyu on the Ferris wheel.
This Ferris wheel was slow, crawling like a snail.
Wan Manyu lost interest, feeling that drinking was better.
However, as the Ferris wheel slowly rose, the night lights of half the city spread out before her eyes, she suddenly seemed to understand something.
The more one sees, the more things become trivial.
One gets stuck in a predicament because they can’t see enough, their vision limits their thinking, and that’s why they can’t move on from love.
As the Ferris wheel ascended higher and higher, everything below became smaller, and she looked down upon the tall buildings that normally required her to look up.
After being rescued in the UK, she decided to hide her love for Gu Wei.
But hiding it was painful.
So she drank to drown her sorrows, trying to cast off the pain.
Now it seemed that she could actually face her feelings head-on, without covering up or casting them aside, just let them be naturally, perhaps the emotions would grow stronger, or perhaps they would gradually fade away one day.
With this thought, her mind also calmed down.
Even without alcohol, her heart was no longer wild and in pain.
She leaned against a railing and quietly observed the scene below.
When the Ferris wheel descended, she asked Bai Anzhi, “Have you been drinking with me these days to forget about Ah Xi?”
Bai Anzhi said, “Half and half, I guess.”
“What’s the other half for?”
Bai Anzhi’s expression returned to one of irreverence, “Of course, because you’re good-looking.”
Wan Manyu laughed, “Aren’t you only interested in competing with the Gu brothers for things? I’m someone Gu Wei doesn’t like, you don’t have to keep me company.”
“Not everything they don’t want is bad,” Bai Anzhi said.
Wan Manyu’s smile stiffened for a moment as she looked back at Bai Anzhi.
Bai Anzhi looked at her too.
That night when she drunkenly tried to climb a utility pole, nothing he said could stop her; he just had to let her climb.
She couldn’t climb very high, and from below, he saw her underwear.
But he did not dare to walk away, worried she would fall. In the end, she did fall, and it was he who carried her back.
Her body was very soft, just with slightly smaller breasts, but all other proportions were good.
He also resisted fiercely, not taking advantage of her vulnerability.
Towards her, he couldn’t say he was very fond, but he didn’t dislike her either, sometimes even found her adorable, and she liked Gu Wei.
He suddenly thought, if he could change her affections from Gu Wei to himself, would that be considered a success?
After all, changing one’s affections is very difficult.
Women only fall for someone else when they meet a man who is better.
…
Gu Wei filed a report with his superior, applying for family military accommodation.
The approval came quickly.
The family residence was in the city, with certain restrictions, but it was not a big problem; Su Meixi could relocate at any time.
Su Meixi also went to the hospital to resign and got a recommendation letter from the director.
Mr. Fan was brainwashed by Mr. Wang every day; he came to genuinely believe that Su Meixi was a ticking time bomb, as though mercenaries from all over the world could attack at any moment, blowing up the entire hospital.
So when Su Meixi left, he was extremely happy.
Su Meixi didn’t understand what was going on. This was the workplace, and though she didn’t have deep emotional connections with colleagues, when someone resigned, shouldn’t other colleagues at least express some regret?
Why were they so happy? It was as if they had gotten rid of a plague.
She felt that resigning was the right choice. A place without a hint of humanity was not worth pining over.
…
That evening, Qiu Yurou also arrived.
Qiu Yurou knew her son was okay and was too lazy to see Su Meixi, so she came infrequently.
The main reason was that Gu Wei wouldn’t listen to her; he was getting better and still wanted to go back to the army.
She truly hoped he would be discharged soon, even if he did nothing upon return, at least he’d be alive.
But Gu Wei didn’t listen, so she felt that this son wasn’t close to her anymore, having a wife and forgetting his mother.
“Mom, you’re here.”
Su Meixi was still respectful in front of Qiu Yurou.
Qiu Yurou just hummed, not giving Su Meixi another glance, only placing some expensive fruits she brought on Gu Wei’s bedside table.
“Are you feeling better?” Qiu Yurou asked.
“Much better, thank you for your concern, Mom.”
“Does the wound still hurt?”
Gu Wei simply lifted his shirt to show her.
It had indeed almost healed, and he was already walking around these past few days.
Qiu Yurou sighed, “You really treat your body as if it’s made of iron, not today a hole, tomorrow a bruise.”
Gu Wei smiled, “Indeed I’m tough, don’t worry Mom, a man who survives a great disaster is destined for good fortune, from now on, all that awaits me is blessings. Who knows, the next time I come back, Ah Xi and I might have a child.”
“You two?” Qiu Yurou caught on to something, “You’re planning to have her join the military with you?”
