Ran Xiangsi cared more about Lou Xinyu and Xing Chen’s childhood photos.
Xing Chen in the photos looked around seven or eight years old, sitting at a stone table, holding a brush, practicing calligraphy with a maturity and calmness that belied his age.
Despite his young age, he already exuded an extraordinary demeanor.
The sunlight shining on him seemed to only serve as his backdrop.
A sweet-looking little girl on one side kept staring at him, her eyes full of admiration and affection.
As a girl herself, Xiangsi could understand the feelings in Lou Xinyu’s eyes.
So, Lou Xinyu had already started to like Xing Chen when she was that young...
Isn’t that why people always talk about childhood sweethearts?
She couldn’t help but feel a touch of emotion. Xiangsi fell silent for a moment, suddenly realizing that Lou Xinyu must be feeling a lot of heartache from her unrequited love, right?
When Xing Chen came back to his senses, he saw Ran Xiangsi in deep thought next to him.
He reached out to take the tablet in front of her, turned off the page, and said indifferently, "It’s something fictional, don’t worry about it."
Hearing his words, Ran Xiangsi smiled, "Didn’t you already say it has nothing to do with her? I just feel a bit sorry for Lou Xinyu..."
"Sorry? Xiangsi, while you’re pitying her, have you considered that she’s constantly trying to take your life?" Xing Chen’s voice turned cold, and his expression darkened. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt
Like the snow piled up on Changbai Mountain’s peak, just looking at it from a distance felt chilling to the bone!
The night raid last night had a significant contribution from Lou Xinyu.
Xing Chen hadn’t forgotten that Xiao Wang was released under her directives.
Ping’an was out there gathering evidence, and once they had solid proof that it was Lou Xinyu’s doing, he wouldn’t let the Lou Family off easily!
"Really? I have no enmity with her..." Ran Xiangsi, unaware of last night’s events, was momentarily stunned by Xing Chen’s words.
Lou Xinyu... trying to harm her everywhere?
Seeing Ran Xiangsi genuinely clueless, Xing Chen explained everything they found out the night before.
After hearing the whole story, Ran Xiangsi was left in a daze.
Her eyes turned somewhat distant as she mumbled, "How is that possible? Even if I’m her rival in love, there’s no need to go to such lengths, right? How could she possibly team up with Ran Yingqian?
Those two shouldn’t have anything to do with each other... And Ran Yingqian, she got into college through connections, she’s not smart enough to think of using Lou Xinyu."
These questions were not within the scope of Xing Chen’s considerations.
He slightly raised his eyebrows, looking at Ran Xiangsi with a serious gaze, "Don’t try to fathom people’s hearts, you won’t understand. Remember, mercy to your enemies is cruelty to yourself. In this world, only the strong can live with a smile."
These thoughts were instilled in Xing Chen by his father from a very young age.
Now, he was imparting this wisdom to her like a mentor.
Listening to him, Ran Xiangsi suddenly broke into a smile, "Why do you sound just like my mentor? He always tells me to be ruthless. Don’t worry; in the hacker world, I never show mercy!"
"What about in the real world? Xiangsi, you should remember, if we hadn’t escaped successfully last night, we would have been shot dead in the office."
Xing Chen understood the harshness of reality all too well, which is why he knew he could never afford to be soft-hearted.
Surviving was the most important thing.
