This instantly embarrassed Su Jiu. “But, I ate from that.”
“I don’t mind,” Rong Si said as he took her bowl. He picked up his chopsticks and finished the remaining half of the rice noodles as if he really didn’t mind that she had eaten from that bowl.
Su Jiu was so shocked that her jaw almost fell off. At the same time, her face suddenly became slightly hot.
Heavens! The little villain actually ate what I had eaten. Does he know that this… this is an indirect kiss?!
Rong Si knew, and he had done it on purpose.
He did not dare to do anything to Su Jiu. Rong Si could only use this method to satisfy the greedy thoughts in his heart.
The little villain, he… he couldn’t have feelings toward me…
Su Jiu did not dare to think further. From her point of view, it was inconceivable that a female supporting character who the villain had cruelly killed in the original novel would be loved by the villain in this world.
If that happened, the storyline of the original novel would be messed up, and the plot would change! Although Su Jiu didn’t believe that the future villain would fall in love with a second female lead like her, from the looks of it now, Rong Si didn’t seem to have fallen in love with the original female lead, Song Xinyan. As long as he didn’t have any interactions with her, cannon fodder like herself wouldn’t die by his hands, right?
Thinking of his tragic ending in the original novel, Su Jiu broke out in a cold sweat.
Rong Si saw that Su Jiu was distracted and her face was slightly pale as if she was thinking about something bad. He immediately asked her, “What’s wrong?”
Su Jiu quickly regained her senses and dryly laughed. “Nothing.”
If she were to say that she had thought about how he had tortured her in the novel, he would probably find it ridiculous.
“Are you really okay?” Rong Si frowned, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Su Jiu’s heart softened when he met her gaze.
What am I thinking?
She had just said that she believed in her son, so she should believe that he would no longer go astray and become the ruthless villain in the original novel. Instead, he would become a big shot with a good attitude and facial features!
As she thought about this, Su Jiu felt much more at ease. She smiled at him. “I’m fine. Don’t worry!”
Her smile was as sweet and bright as ever as if nothing had happened. Rong Si stopped asking.
However…
If I had not seen wrongly, when she was distracted, there seemed to be a hint of… fear in her eyes when she looked at me?
Was I hallucinating?
***
When they returned to the school gate, Miss Tang was still there. She hadn’t dared to leave.
Just now, her father had called her again and asked her how things were progressing. She complained to him that Su Jiu had bullied her and made her apologize in front of so many people. Miss Tang had thought that her father would comfort her, but she did not expect him to say that she had asked for it. No matter what, she had to settle it herself!
Seeing that Su Jiu and Rong Si had returned, Miss Tang forced her anger down and said, “Miss Su, I’ve been apologizing as you said. I’ve probably said ‘sorry’ a few hundred times. Can you forgive me?” Su Jiu ignored her and looked at the chauffeur. “Uncle, is what she said true?”
The chauffeur nodded. “Yes, she’s quite honest this time.”
Su Jiu asked Rong Si again, “Big Brother, tell me. Do you want to forgive her?”
Miss Tang immediately looked at him with expectation in her eyes, but he did not look at her. It was as if he felt even looking at her was unnecessary. He coldly said, “I won’t forgive you, but I don’t want to see you again.”
