Chapter 2032: Extra: A Brand New Life 147 Chapter 2032: Extra: A Brand New Life 147 Now, suddenly forcing himself not to call the little girl or to visit her at the University, Zhou Ping felt terribly miserable.

Zhou Ping had also realized one thing, he didn’t plan to never call Mo Yaoyao again, he just didn’t want Mo Yaoyao to feel pressured, and now by not calling, was he not causing her stress anyway? But these past few days when he refrained from calling until he felt it wouldn’t seem intentional, he discovered that even though his phone was right in his hand, he didn’t know how to call Mo Yaoyao anymore.

If he got through, what then should he say?

He never used to have these troubles…

Then, Zhou Ping felt even worse.

While Zhou Ping was in absolute agony, Mo Yaoyao wasn’t having an easy time either.

Even Mo Yaoyao’s roommate had noticed something was off.

That night, a roommate asked, “Yaoyao, how come Senior Zhou Ping hasn’t been calling you these past few days? Didn’t he used to call every evening? If he couldn’t reach you, he’d call us instead.”

Mo Yaoyao was putting away clothes she had dried today. Upon hearing this, her movements paused, and after pursing her lips, she said softly, “I made him angry.”

“What? How did you make him angry?”

Mo Yaoyao just bowed her head and remained silent.

“Yaoyao you–”
This roommate wanted to say something else, but another roommate pulled her aside, signaling her not to ask anymore and said, “Haven’t you noticed how upset Yaoyao has been these few days?”

If only one paid a bit more attention, they could tell that Mo Yaoyao hadn’t been herself recently.

Mo Yaoyao was always quiet, but these days, while still quiet, she was always alone, as if she no longer had a place in this world.

An hour later, Mo Yaoyao climbed into bed and lay on her side, facing inward.

She turned on her phone under the covers without looking at anything, and couldn’t help but start shedding tears. Fearing that her roommates would notice, she didn’t make a sound.

She didn’t belittle the Zhou family; she was just too afraid of losing. She was in University now; she would eventually leave that home. She didn’t dare truly treat it as her own.

It was another gathering of close friends.

Evening, club, private room.

Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Yu Zi, Si Yan, Song Yun, and others were all there.

“I’m going to die from misery, die from it!” As soon as Zhou Ping entered, he collapsed onto the sofa and howled at the ceiling.

Xue Yan was closest to him and laughed, “What’s wrong with you now? Is it because of your little girl again?”

Zhou Ping sat up and poured himself a drink, “I feel as if my body is covered in fleas, it’s unbearable! I don’t even know how to get along with my little girl anymore!”

“What happened?” Yu Zi and the others didn’t understand.

Xue Yan briefly explained the situation with a smile.

Yu Zi laughed, “Isn’t it just about not being forceful? Is that really necessary?”

“It’s absolutely necessary! I haven’t seen my little girl in almost half a month! And I haven’t said a single word to her!” Zhou Ping was on edge.

Upon hearing this, Xue Yan was taken aback, “What happened, how come you haven’t seen her or spoken to her in half a month?”

Jiang Yue frowned slightly, “Acting this way will only make Yaoyao worry more.”

Zhou Ping immediately turned to Xue Yan, “Wasn’t it you who said not to be forceful? I was just afraid of putting any pressure on her, so I dared not even get in touch. Besides, my family basically put her in my care, and if I don’t contact her, it’s as if my whole family feels the same way. My parents don’t even know I haven’t been paying her attention; they think everything’s the same as before and haven’t asked much. If we’re all not pressing her, she definitely wouldn’t feel any pressure, right? But now you’re telling me this will make her overthink?!”
