Ouyang had always thought that Nan Xi was the girl who saved him, so his heart fluttered at the moment he saw her.
But now he realized that it was actually Bai Zhi who had saved him in the beginning.
The Bai Zhi he had disliked from the start.
The Bai Zhi he always argued with.
That feeling made Ouyang very confused.
Bai Zhi had never mentioned, not even once, that she was the one who saved them.
"Why didn’t she tell us that she was the one who saved us?"
Because she was paid, Moh Li thought to himself. Back then, she wasn’t the little junior sister; she was someone who did her job professionally and took his money.
However, things were much better now.
"She might not need our repayment, right?" Yeah, right.
He guessed she would probably find a way to extort him when the time came.
But it didn’t matter; as long as she was happy, that’s what was important.
For Ouyang, it just made her seem selfless and generous.
"You’re right, but I feel like it might not be the case, there could be another possibility..."
Ouyang began to reflect on all the interactions he had had with Bai Zhi since they met. It seemed like she always had a problem with him.
Back then, she always looked at him with a scowl. Could it be possible that she was upset because he mistook someone else for his savior?
To put it bluntly, could she be jealous?
The more Ouyang thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, he was so excellent; it was impossible for Bai Zhi not to like him.
Keep in mind his good looks, his charisma, and his gentleness. How could she possibly not be fond of him?
Now that he thought about it, back then Bai Zhi must have been really disappointed because he didn’t immediately think of her, which was why she always seemed to disapprove of him.
Thinking it over, not long ago, she even said she didn’t want to have dinner with him and Nan Xi together. That must surely be because she liked him.
Yes, that must be it.
Watching Ouyang’s expression change again and again, until he finally looked particularly smug, Moh Li wondered what was going through his mind.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ouyang’s lips curled into a determined smile, and he lifted his head to glance at Moh Li before clapping him on the shoulder.
"Moh Li, don’t worry, I’ve got a plan. This time we’ll definitely dazzle them all. This Bai Zhi, she’s playing hard to get, you see. Don’t you think she’s always been displeased when she sees me with Nan Xi?"
Ouyang said this with an air of utter confidence.
Moh Li’s lips twitched slightly; she didn’t like seeing either of them.
"Also, every time she sees me, she definitely has that stern face on, just to get my attention."
While saying this, it was obvious how pleased Ouyang was with himself, and he had this annoying swagger that made people want to punch him.
Moh Li: "..." Could this be Ouyang being too confident in himself?
"Last time I mentioned inviting her for dinner, and when Nan Xi came along, she immediately said she’d only go if Nan Xi wasn’t there. Moh Li, I think I’ve seen through the truth. Just you watch—I’ll make her tell me the formula for the Hemostatic Powder and the Air Freshener Pills. Wait and see; we’ll shine so bright, they’ll be blinded.
I didn’t know it was Bai Zhi who saved us before, but now that I know, of course I have to thank her. And from now on, we’ll be friends."
When Ouyang said he’d do something, he got right to it, immediately standing up, though there was still a bit of pain in his chest.
"I won’t wait any longer; I’m going to go now. I’m going to find her and explain."
Ouyang felt it was urgent to resolve this matter and couldn’t wait any longer.
