Yan Xinxin felt uneasy under Lan Xuan's gaze. Just as she was about to press for more information, she caught sight of a figure stepping in front of her from the corner of her eye, along with the faint scent of perfume wafting into her nose.
"Yan Xinxin, I need five minutes of your time. I want to say a few things to you."
Luo Yiyi stood in front of Yan Xinxin and spoke up.
Yan Xinxin couldn't find a reason to refuse, so she handed the book in her hand to Lan Xuan.
Lan Xuan took the book and gave her a playful, teasing look.
"Yan Xinxin, if she tries to bully you, just yell loudly. Your big sister will definitely come to your rescue."
Does Luo Yiyi want to hit me or something?
What could this be about?
Under the open space by the teaching building, Yan Xinxin stood beneath a cherry blossom tree. A gentle breeze lifted her long hair lightly. She raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, lifting her starry eyes to look at Luo Yiyi, who was standing with her back to her.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Luo Yiyi let out a soft sneer before turning around.
Yan Xinxin clearly saw the contempt and arrogance on her face—so different from her usual elegant and polite demeanor in front of others.
"I'm not here to waste time chatting with you. I just want you to understand one thing: stay away from my boyfriend."
Yan Xinxin furrowed her brows in confusion.
Could she be talking about Mo Chuxi?
Mo Chuxi and Luo Yiyi are dating?
Yan Xinxin was a bit taken aback, and at the same time, she felt a heaviness settle in her chest.
Seeing the perplexed look on Yan Xinxin's face, Luo Yiyi arrogantly sized her up, scanning her appearance and figure. After a few seconds, she seemed annoyed and ground her teeth in frustration.
"Yan Xinxin, don't think that just because you're pretty, you can go around seducing people. You know perfectly well what your background is. Can you even compare to me? My monthly allowance is more than what you'd make in a year from working part-time!"
She hadn't said more than a few sentences before she was already resorting to personal attacks.
Yan Xinxin wanted to fight back, but at the mention of Luo Yiyi's relationship with Mo Chuxi, she suddenly felt at a loss for words.
That night, she and Mo Chuxi had shared an intimate moment, and now she was living in his apartment...
"Yan Xinxin, I heard everyone calls you the pure and innocent school belle. Hah, pure? Do you even deserve that title?"
Luo Yiyi's final words struck a sharp blow to Yan Xinxin's heart, ripping open old wounds she thought she'd buried long ago.
Yan Xinxin's expression shifted slightly as her ten fingers slowly curled into fists.
It had to be Mo Chuxi who told Luo Yiyi about it, right? How else could she know to say something like that?
Her clenched fists gradually relaxed again. Yan Xinxin let out a light sigh, then lifted her eyes to meet Luo Yiyi's prideful gaze.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know the two of you were in a relationship. After class, I'll pack up my things and move out. What happened before was a complete accident. There's nothing between me and him."
After saying her piece, Yan Xinxin turned to leave. However, Luo Yiyi's expression changed dramatically. Once she recovered from the shock, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Yan Xinxin's hand.
"Yan Xinxin, what did you just say?! You're already living together?!"
Luo Yiyi glared at Yan Xinxin with fury and, suddenly overcome with anger and shame, raised her hand to strike her.
"Yan Xinxin, you've got some nerve. Let's see if you dare to steal my man again!"
Just as Yan Xinxin was about to dodge, she heard the crisp sound of a slap. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a familiar silhouette in white stepping to her side, catching Luo Yiyi's raised hand.
"Luo Yiyi, this is the last time I'm warning you: stop going around telling people we're dating. A girl as self-absorbed as you? I'd never be interested in you in this lifetime."
