Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1274 - 837: Unexpected News

Two in the morning.

"Big Brother Mei, why are you looking for me?" Sitting across from Mei Yitong, Chuxia looked uneasy. Yang Xiaoli had just told her that perhaps the person Mei Yitong had in mind was her. As a result, this Big Brother came over to stop her from leaving, saying he specifically sought her out. Isn’t this too much?!

However, she wouldn’t presumptuously reprimand the other party. Based on her experience dealing with Mei Yitong, him approaching her at this time definitely meant something was up.

As for whether Yang Xiaoli had misunderstood, she’d have to leave it be for now. Once she knew the reason Mei Yitong came over, she could naturally clear up the misunderstanding.

"Xiao Chuxia..." Mei Yitong chuckled lightly, "Are you upset that I stopped you in front of Xiaoli? Are you worried it might affect your friendship? Are you also worried Zhou Mikang might misunderstand?"

"You have too many questions..." Chuxia looked at him speechlessly, "Is it fun messing with me? If you don’t tell me why you’re here, I’ll leave."

Mei Yitong’s expression turned serious: "Xiao Chuxia, there’s something I’d like to trouble you with. I hope you can agree to help me, and..." He paused, emphasizing his tone, "And only you can help me with this. So, will you give it your best?"

Slightly hesitating, Chuxia said, "Big Brother Mei, you should tell me what it is first. If it’s within my ability and won’t affect anything, I will certainly help."

"Life at school is wonderful..." Mei Yitong glanced around the small conference room, with a nostalgic expression on his face, "Thinking back to those playful times, they’re especially cherished memories."

"Seeing that you have so many friends at school, real friends who genuinely care for you, I’m genuinely happy for you, Xiao Chuxia. You’re truly fortunate, blessed with family, friendship, and love, aren’t you?"

"Yes." Chuxia responded quietly, without urging him. She believed that his scattered words definitely had a purpose.

Silence, silence, and still more silence...

Just when Chuxia was about to lose patience, Mei Yitong finally spoke: "Xiao Chuxia, you really like your life at school, don’t you?"

"Yes."

"If you had to leave school, you wouldn’t want to, right?"

"Correct."

"But the thing I need your help with, is to have you leave school," Mei Yitong stared intently at Chuxia, "Just because of what’s liked and what can’t be had, help me this time, will you?"

"Big Brother Mei..." Chuxia looked at Mei Yitong in surprise. This wasn’t how he usually was. After dissolving his antagonistic relationship with Zhou Mikang, Mei Yitong had not been reckless like before. What’s happening today?

"Scared you, huh..." Mei Yitong smiled a little, "I just want to know if what I’m doing is worthwhile. Your reaction affirmed my thoughts."

"Xiao Chuxia, starting today, persuade Zhou Mikang to stay by your side with earnestness and persistence. I don’t want to compete for credit with him. I truly wish you both a lifetime together."

"This is the help you’re talking about?" Chuxia understood what he meant. She was both touched and slightly bitter inside, realizing that Mei Yitong liked her.

Maybe someone’s affection for another really has no particular reason; appearance, personality, or perhaps a fleeting expression just resonates, creating a chemical reaction.

However, affection and opportunity depend on timing; the right person at the right time brings lifelong happiness. The right person at the wrong time, or the wrong person at the right time, or the wrong person at the wrong time, all result in lifelong regret.

For her, it was the right time to meet the right person. But for Mei Yitong, was it? She originally thought he had his happy ending, meeting the right person. But now it seemed, his cold and warm behavior towards Yang Xiaoli showed his heart wasn’t truly with her.

If it hadn’t been for Yang Xiaoli’s reminder, she wouldn’t have realized this. Now, she felt both guilt towards Yang Xiaoli and towards Mei Yitong.

One is her good friend; the other has helped her before. She wished happiness for both of them but this seemed like a distant wish for now. Mei Yitong’s current request was nothing more than him asking for trust, with safety handed over to Zhou Mikang.

Though she wasn’t clear about the specifics, she was very certain about the things set to occur in this era. She absolutely believed she hadn’t guessed wrong. Mei Yitong’s words showed his genuine trust in her. Unfortunately, she could neither respond nor bear the weight of his good intentions.
