Chapter 63: Unconditionally Bearing the Consequences

The moment his clenched fist came down, Fu Yuzhou, quick as a flash, seized Luo Yuheng’s fist.

Fu Yuzhou was a well-trained soldier; his excessively swift reaction made both Chen Mo and Luo Yuheng flinch.

“Let go of me.”

Luo Yuheng gritted his teeth in anger. “Fu Yuzhou, are you a man? How can you break your promise?”

The accusatory words were practically ground out between Luo Yuheng’s teeth.

Fu Yuzhou could see Luo Yuheng was furious. And of course, he had to give Luo Yuheng an explanation for what happened last night.

He looked up at Chen Mo and said, “Send Fu Chen back to the dorm first. I’ll be back later.”

Seeing Luo Yuheng’s ferocious expression, Chen Mo couldn’t help but sweat for Fu Yuzhou. He also didn’t understand Luo Yuheng.

Wasn’t anyone pregnant?

Why was he still so angry?

But as an outsider, Chen Mo couldn’t say anything. He could only follow Fu Yuzhou’s instructions and send Chu Ning back to the dorm.

After Chen Mo and Chu Ning left, Luo Yuheng grabbed Fu Yuzhou’s clothes and pressed him against the cold wall.

“Fu Yuzhou, what’s going on? You promised, so why did you run away at the last minute?”

“Didn’t you smell the alcohol on me?”

Luo Yuheng had truly overlooked this. Hearing Fu Yuzhou’s words, he belatedly realized, “Are you telling me you got drunk on the alcohol I gave you last night?”

Luo Yuheng had poured out the soda from the soda bottle and added alcohol. It was entirely to embolden Fu Yuzhou.

He knew Fu Yuzhou’s drinking capacity. That little bit of alcohol shouldn’t have made him blackout and mess things up.

“Don’t try to pull the wool over my eyes. I know that little bit of alcohol couldn’t possibly get you drunk.”

Fu Yuzhou looked at Luo Yuheng with amusement. “I heard you confessed your love to Su Yao last night and proposed to her. She even agreed and danced with you. You should be happy, no need to keep harping on this.”

“That’s right, I confessed my love and proposed, and she accepted and danced with me. But it was entirely to save the situation, and Su Yao used me as an escape route; she didn’t mean to accept me.”

After the dance last night, Su Yao made it clear to him that she accepted his plea to get out of a difficult situation.

It didn’t mean she accepted his love.

Luo Yuheng naturally couldn’t force Su Yao to love him.

“Even if she didn’t accept, it’s a good sign. With enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle. Doctor Luo, you need to put in more effort!”

“Don’t change the subject. I’m not done with you about last night.”

Luo Yuheng grabbed Fu Yuzhou again, wanting to understand why Fu Yuzhou had stood him up. Could their friendship be used as a knife in critical moments?

“Chu Ning was drugged.”

Fu Yuzhou had to tell Luo Yuheng the truth.

“Drugged?”

Luo Yuheng was incredulous, half-squinting at Fu Yuzhou. “In the eyes of outsiders, she’s a man, your cousin. How could she be drugged?

Are you telling me a female educated youth has a crush on her?”

“No, it was Chen Guihua. She put drugs in the soda she gave me, and Chu Ning accidentally drank it. I didn’t intentionally break my promise last night.

I was forced into it. Chu Ning suddenly came to me, and I was scared. In that situation, there was no way to find help.

I could only take her away.”

“Damn it, so you took her to this equipment room where no one can find you and had a wild night with her?”

“You’re a doctor; you should know that in that situation, without medication, physical means are necessary.”

Fu Yuzhou spoke lightly, but Luo Yuheng found it grating.

“You had a passionate night with the woman you like, causing me to be misunderstood by Su Yao. Fu Yuzhou, you really are something. I’m blind to have befriended someone like you!”

Fu Yuzhou said nonchalantly, “If you’re feeling unbalanced, I’ll go get some more from Chen Guihua and give you a hand.”

“Forget it, extinguish your evil thoughts.”

Luo Yuheng was already sufficiently regretful about being misunderstood by Su Yao.

If he were to use such despicable methods to obtain Su Yao, he would be killed by her.

Luo Yuheng returned to the main point, “Go find Su Yao and explain what happened last night. I don’t want her to misunderstand.”

In Su Yao’s eyes, Fu Yuzhou’s agreement to dance with her was a trick he secretly orchestrated.

“Okay, I’ll tell her it was the alcohol you gave me that got me drunk and messed things up.”

“Fu Yuzhou, that’s enough!”

Luo Yuheng’s eyes reddened with anger again.

Seeing Luo Yuheng was genuinely angry, Fu Yuzhou’s tone became more serious. “Fine, I’ll explain to her.”

“That’s more like it.”

“And I’ll also tell her that you like her, that you deliberately failed the assessment and gave up returning to the city to make her feel touched!”

“No need, you better not say a word.”

Luo Yuheng didn’t want Su Yao to feel burdened.

“That’s not how you protect someone. Tell her your feelings sooner; you might get a better result.”

“No need, I said no need. Fu Yuzhou, if you say one more word, I’ll tell everyone that Chu Ning is your heart’s treasure.”

“…”

Fu Yuzhou was stunned.

Heart’s treasure?

That’s a pretty good description.

Suddenly, Luo Yuheng ripped open Fu Yuzhou’s military uniform. “Damn, there are quite a few marks. It was exciting last night, huh? Tell me, did you initiate it, or did she?”

Fu Yuzhou gave Luo Yuheng a cold glare. “I’m a man. In this kind of thing, can a woman take the initiative?”

“Look at you, so smug. You defied your father’s arranged marriage and were sent here to be an educated youth.

If your father finds out you’re serving here and slept with a woman and went back, he might chop you up.”

Luo Yuheng seemed to dislike Fu Yuzhou’s good fortune, bringing up every sensitive topic.

Fu Yuzhou said, “You’re not my father, how do you know he’d chop me up instead of being happy that I gave him a grandson?”

Hearing this, Luo Yuheng’s eyes widened in shock.

“Fu Yuzhou, sleeping with her is one thing, but you’re not really going to have a child with Chu Ning, are you?”

Luo Yuheng pointedly reminded Fu Yuzhou, “Don’t forget, Chu Ning isn’t from our time; she might go back anytime.”

Fu Yuzhou was also worried about this, but in front of Luo Yuheng, he naturally wouldn’t show any extra worry.

“That’s between me and Chu Ning. It’s none of your business.”

“I’m doing this for your own good.”

Fu Yuzhou said, “She’s my woman now, my wife forever. No matter what the future holds, I won’t change my feelings for her.”

“You’re quite the devoted one, Fu Yuzhou. I didn’t see that coming.”

“Less chatter, let’s talk business. I’ll explain the misunderstanding to Su Yao, and you’ll help me investigate the drugs in Chen Guihua’s hands. I’m going to publicly expose her crimes.”

Fu Yuzhou wouldn’t tolerate such things.

Even if it wasn’t him who was drugged last night, he wouldn’t let Chen Guihua off.

Anyone who dares to plot against him must unconditionally bear the consequences!
