Chapter 1228 - Chapter 1228 Chapter 1227 Unwilling to Confess

Chapter 1228: Chapter 1227: Unwilling to Confess Chapter 1228: Chapter 1227: Unwilling to Confess Zhou Shengting couldn’t understand why Bai Lan would ask such a question, he didn’t know what Bai Lan meant by “secrecy”?

He had always been sincere with her, without any falseness, and he was always unreserved, telling her everything.

Except for one thing, that was the matter of being recommended for overseas study, which he hadn’t told her.

Because Zhou Shengting knew Bai Lan very well, she was someone who always considered his needs, and if it were a matter concerning his future, Bai Lan would surely pay even more attention.

If she knew he could be recommended for further studies abroad, she would definitely be the first to support him, and her support would be unconditional.

But Zhou Shengting didn’t want that, because he knew his capabilities; wherever he was, he would excel.

He couldn’t take the risk of leaving Bai Lan here, there were too many variables, and without her by his side, he would feel insecure.

However, only a few people in his department knew about this, Bai Lan’s department was so far from his, she probably hadn’t heard any rumors.

So, soon, Zhou Shengting calmed down, and then pretended as if nothing was the matter, “Silly girl, what’s there to hide from you? Whatever happens, I will tell you.”

After saying that, he even pat her head, a gesture he was very fond of.

Bai Lan’s heart skipped a beat, and she sighed.

In fact, she somewhat understood his intentions; he didn’t want to be apart from her.

But she couldn’t be so selfish; how could she stand in the way of his studies? This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that others could only dream of.

But what could she do to make him go?

If she talked to him directly, he would surely have various reasons to refute her.

She knew she couldn’t win against him in an argument.

Bai Lan suddenly felt troubled too.

Actually, she could also pretend to know nothing and just happily stay with him, but she couldn’t get past her conscience.

To love someone is to wish the best for them.

“That’s good to hear, but if I find out you’re hiding something from me, good or bad, I won’t forgive you,” Bai Lan said, looking at him with a determined gaze.

Zhou Shengting felt a sudden pang of anxiety when he saw her like this.

Don’t be fooled by Bai Lan’s seemingly gentle appearance; in reality, she had a very resolute heart. Once she decided on something, it was hard to change her mind, and she was the kind that followed through with her words.

“Don’t spout nonsense, whatever it is, we need to communicate with each other,” Zhou Shengting still wanted to leave a way out for himself, his words should not be too absolute.

Bai Lan was silent, “Let’s go back.”

“Since we are out, let’s take a stroll, you haven’t eaten yet, right? Let’s go have something to eat first,” Zhou Shengting glanced at the time, which was getting late.

Bai Lan had just met with Zhou’s mother and was so nervous she could barely function, let alone eat; she hadn’t even had a sip of water.

So now she felt somewhat hungry.

“Let’s go, I want to eat Zhajiang noodles and drink lemon tea,” Bai Lan said with a forced smile, then continued.

Zhou Shengting took her hand and they walked off.

Zhou Shengting thought that this issue was temporarily closed.

But he only realized that this was just the beginning.

After returning, he started to feel that Bai Lan was deliberately avoiding him.

Whenever he looked for her, she would say she was busy preparing for exams, or that she was going out with her roommates.

She had cast aside her intimate boyfriend.

At first, he thought she was genuinely busy, and he understood, as everyone needs some space.

They spent a lot of time together usually, but gradually, he realized Bai Lan was distancing herself from him.
