*Thud!*
The half-finished beer can dropped to the floor.
A blanket was draped over Tang Xiaomin, concealing her well-developed and exaggeratedly proportioned figure.
"Uh... wear this, don't catch a cold," Ye Lingyun said somewhat awkwardly, averting his gaze.
It was his suggestion to swim at the holiday resort, and he had even picked out the swimsuit Tang Xiaomin was wearing. The visual effect was even better, even more spectacular, than he had imagined. At this moment, he inexplicably felt a pang of guilt.
Tang Xiaomin smoothed the blanket on her body and, looking at Ye Lingyun's current demeanor, teased him.
"Young Master Yun, are you cold?"
"Uh... I'm not cold. I'm a man, I'm not afraid."
"You're different, you're..."
"Xiaomin! Hurry and come down. It's so hot up here, the water is so cool!" Lin Keke shouted loudly to Tang Xiaomin from the water.
At this moment, all of them were looking in their direction.
"Okay, I'm coming."
After returning the blanket to Ye Lingyun, Tang Xiaomin dived into the water. When she resurfaced, she was already by Lin Keke's side. The girls were laughing and playing in the water, having a great time.
Ye Lingyun stared blankly at the blanket in his hand, recalling his foolish behavior just now, unsure what to do.
*Pfft... Heh heh...*
Beside him, Liu Feng couldn't help but grin and laugh, spitting out the beer he had just taken a sip of.
"You're too embarrassed to say it, want me to help you out?"
"I'm good at confessing to girls."
Ye Lingyun shot Liu Feng a glare and said sternly, "Don't mess around."
"What are you afraid of? If you love someone, say it loudly."
"Because I don't want to lose even our friendship."
"Ah? Why?"
Because his intuition told him that she wouldn't accept him. He knew what her eyes looked like when she liked someone, and she never looked at him that way for even a second.
Ye Lingyun didn't say anything, ending the topic. Liu Feng also went for a swim. Ye Lingyun leaned back on the lounge chair alone, occasionally glancing towards the water from the corner of his eye.
"Young Master Yun, aren't you going for a swim?" Lu Sisi suddenly appeared beside Ye Lingyun. She had just gotten out of the water, her swimsuit clinging tightly to her skin, her figure looking quite proportionate.
"Not interested."
"Do you have something bothering you? If you don't mind, I can keep you company and chat."
"No need."
"Is it because of Xiaomin?"
Suddenly, Ye Lingyun's gaze towards Lu Sisi turned cold.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Ah?"
Ye Lingyun's distance was like a basin of cold water splashed fiercely onto Lu Sisi. She knew she should be sensible at this moment.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you."
Lu Sisi left dejectedly. She didn't go back into the water but returned to change. The changing room was communal, and everyone's bags were on the sofa. As Lu Sisi reached for her bag, she knocked over Tang Xiaomin's. As she picked it up to put it back, a bottle suddenly fell out. She quickly picked it up and was about to put it back when she inadvertently caught sight of a few words on the bottle: Effexor.
"What is this..."
After carefully reading the instructions on the bottle, she was suddenly greatly alarmed.
"This is medication for treating depression!"
She hastily opened the bottle cap. Only a few pills remained at the bottom; it had already been mostly consumed. She put the pills back in their place and left. Previously, Tang Xiaomin had sued Zhang Guo'er, and at the trial, she had presented a diagnosis of severe depression. At the time, everyone thought it was merely one of Tang Xiaomin's tactics for seeking compensation. She had a doctor brother, so getting a diagnosis wouldn't be difficult. Moreover, Tang Xiaomin had only seemed a little down lately; outwardly, there wasn't much difference. Who would have thought she actually suffered from depression?
Lu Sisi returned to Ye Lingyun's side and, after hesitating for a while, finally mustered the courage to speak. Sudancn.com
"Young Master Yun, I have something important to tell you."
Ye Lingyun lay back lazily on the chair, as if he hadn't heard, completely ignoring her.
"Young Master Yun, what I'm about to tell you concerns Xiaomin."
"What is it?"
As expected, only when Tang Xiaomin's name was mentioned did Ye Lingyun pay attention. Lu Sisi also vaguely guessed Ye Lingyun's feelings.
"I accidentally discovered medication for depression in Xiaomin's bag just now. She must genuinely be suffering from depression."
