Ji Yu actually didn’t want to force anything on him, she just felt that she should follow her own heart in this matter; otherwise, the one who would end up suffering the most would surely be herself.
"I understand, from now on I will definitely follow my heart. I should thank you today. I’ve always thought of myself as a terrible person, but after seeing you, it doesn’t feel so bad."
Every time she saw Ji Yu, she felt something different, as if Ji Yu was her savior.
To Ji Yu, this matter wasn’t that big of a deal.
"You just need to follow your heart. Besides, if you need anything, it’s not a big deal to find me. If I have time, I will definitely talk things through with you."
Of course, all she was doing was offering a suggestion.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Ji Yu, clearly delighted with this version of her, "Miss Ji, can we be friends? I know I don’t always come across very well, but please don’t disdain me. I do have my uses."
Her earnest demeanor amused Ji Yu, "You are actually a very cute girl, but as for being friends, let’s see how things go. We’re not familiar with each other yet, and it seems rash to become friends so quickly."
For friendship to be suitable, there must still be some level of familiarity.
However, the young girl seemed particularly persistent, already seeing Ji Yu as a good person and thus deeming her a friend.
"If anything else comes up, I’ll definitely come to you. I might even need you to take me in. Ji Yu, I’ll head back and sort things out with my family first."
Zhang Yaoyue darted off, seemingly well-prepared for this matter.
Ji Yu was quite helpless.
But she didn’t want to argue with the girl.
When Gu Qixiao returned, he was worried that Ji Yu had been bullied, "Yu, are you okay? If she said anything excessive, just tell me. I will definitely deal with her properly."
Ji Yu didn’t have any particular opinion on the matter, as the young girl didn’t have any malicious intent; she just wanted to ask about the issue.
"The two of us might count as half-friends now. Actually, you don’t need to be worried about things . To me, they’re not a big deal, and if you’re anxious all the time, wouldn’t I be more childish than a child?"
She wasn’t that fragile regarding this issue.
Gu Qixiao was merely concerned that Ji Yu might misunderstand something, and the girl’s current behavior was quite surprising.
"She doesn’t have any malicious intent."
In fact, Zhang Yaoyue really didn’t have any bad intentions; she even wanted to be friends with Ji Yu.
After going home and getting slapped, she came to find Ji Yu without hesitation, "Ji Yu, I might have to rely on you from now on. I don’t understand why they are so insistent."
She didn’t understand what those people were thinking. Was their family really that bad that they had to arrange a child’s marriage?
"Have you really thought this through?" Ji Yu found it difficult to comprehend but was amused by her demeanor.
"I’ve really thought it through. This is very important to me because it’s about my future happiness. If I agree rashly, who knows what it might lead to?"
She looked at Ji Yu helplessly as if this matter was a huge nightmare for her.
Ji Yu also understood her thoughts.
"I hope you won’t regret it later. Your family should understand your feelings, right? Actually, there’s no need to fuss over these matters."
She was very clear that sometimes arranged marriages are unavoidable, but if they truly forced their daughter into one, it would be no different from selling her off.
"Ji Yu, you can keep track of my expenses here. When I have the money or find a job, I’ll surely pay you back."
Although the money wasn’t a big deal to her,
she didn’t want to owe Ji Yu too much at this time.
Good friends help each other, but they definitely shouldn’t start helping with money on a whim.
Ji Yu was a bit surprised that she had some principles.
"You can stay here if you want to, as long as you’ve thought it through. Given my current situation, which you should be aware of, I can’t take care of you or consider your feelings." Chapters fırst released on novel·fiɾe·net
Also, with Gu Qixiao’s attitude towards her, this situation needs to be discussed properly, or who knows how things might turn out later?
Ji Yu looked at the young girl in front of her, and Zhang Yaoyue understood Ji Yu’s point.
"Just living here is already troubling you. How could I expect you to take care of me when you’ve already helped me a lot?"
The matter was temporarily settled.
Gu Qixiao was very surprised after learning about it; he hadn’t expected such a situation to occur.
"Yu, maybe you should reconsider. I think it’s better not to just leave it ."
He was a bit displeased.
After all, living with such a person, no one knew what might happen in the future, and he didn’t want Ji Yu to misunderstand.
"I wouldn’t misunderstand in such matters, and besides, she’s not living in your house."
She smiled at Gu Qixiao, evidently having already made up her mind. If they really drove Zhang Yaoyue away, Ji Yu would be uneasy, so it was better to see what Zhang Yaoyue truly thought.
"Don’t worry about it. I won’t let her disturb you."
Gu Qixiao was mostly concerned about her disturbing Ji Yu; he had no issues himself. The two of them had no real connection, so it was necessary to think carefully in such a situation.
Ji Yu smiled, "She won’t disturb me. Besides, I don’t have anyone to talk to right now, so I think having her around to chat is good."
She didn’t want Gu Qixiao to make any compromises over this matter. Their work was already quite demanding, and having to take care of her would be exhausting.
Therefore, Ji Yu had her own perspective on this matter.
