Luo Luo… Luo Luo… Luo Luo…
The simple words reminded her of plenty of memories.
Back then on Pine Mountain, maple leaves flew all over the sky and created an enchanting sight and a bed of flowers.
She heard that Xi Mubai had gone to the mountain to seek inspiration for his sketches. When she read the weather forecast, she realized that there would be a rainstorm in the afternoon and hence, got a little worried. She wanted to bring him an umbrella in hopes of getting closer to him.
However, the rain got heavier and it was said that a mudslide might happen in the evening.
Afraid that something would happen to him in the pitch darkness, she rolled down the mountains and almost fell to her death.
However, she found Xi Mubai who had been trapped there.
His leg was injured and his life was in danger.
She tried her best to save him. Knowing that he detested her, she decided to use the nickname “Luo Luo” instead of her real name.
“Xi Mubai, will you forget me?”
“Xi Mubai, I’m very lonely, don’t forget me.”
“Xi Mubai, I’ll look for you, you must remember me!”
…
During the rainstorm, she put on a bittersweet smile while thinking about him.
She thought that Heaven had finally given her a chance.
Later on, the rescue team arrived and she hid in a corner like a little mermaid watching her prince leave.
Why didn’t she show her face?
It was because she was aware that he particularly detested her and she was afraid of letting him know that she was the one who saved his life, lest he gets even more disgusted with her!
However, she gave him and herself a chance in the end.
He said that he would never forget Luo Luo and would accompany her in the future. He promised that he would definitely recognize Luo Luo!
Hence, when he regained his consciousness in the hospital and everyone proceeded to visit him, she happily headed to the florist and picked out some beautiful stalks of roses. She then carried them to the hospital hastily.
However, he went back on his words and failed to recognize her.
Filled with disgust, he exclaimed, “Luo Zheng, what are you doing here? Stop pestering me!”
After they reunited, those were the only words he said and ever since then, he simply walked past her.
She was utterly disappointed and had no choice, but to turn around and leave after leaving the roses behind.
Later on, she hid in a corner and watched her prince look for his benefactor, Luo Luo.
She thought to herself quietly, if he thinks Luo Luo is innocent, beautiful, kindhearted and nothing like me… I shall let him continue having that fantasy. I shall not let him know the truth, lest I ruin the impression he has!
The story should have come to an end here.
However, Mu Nianqing appeared and Xi Mubai fell in love with her!
She stayed in Beijing for Xi Mubai and agreed to let Mu Nianqing go to Britain in her place… they clearly agreed that Mu Nianqing would never return. Yet, she returned to Beijing a few years later.
Besides, she even contacted Xi Mubai again!
Luo Zheng then fell out with Mu Nianqing and she found out the truth… Not only did Mu Nianqing assume her identity and background, she even posed as Luo Luo and became Xi Mubai’s benefactor!
“Luo Zheng, thank you for telling me how you managed to save him. I recited all the details and he believed me completely! Maybe, that’s one of the reasons he fell in love with me. You’re such a fool… You were clearly his savior and yet, you didn’t make use of that fact. What should I say about you!?!”
At that moment, her heart shattered and she was full of shock and hopelessness.
How could Mu Nianqing do that to her? I was willing to give her anything she wanted!
Yet, she assumed her identity as Luo Luo. That was the secret that Luo Zheng had been keeping in her heart, for it was her only memory with Xi Mubai!
She could not tolerate it at all. Hence, she looked for Xi Mubai and admitted that she was Luo Luo!
What did he reply in the end?
“Luo Zheng, do you know how disgusting you are? Nianqing has been praising you all the time and yet, you’re criticizing her!”
“Luo Zheng, have I ever told you that being loved by someone like you, is not something I feel lucky about. I feel ashamed to be admired by you!”
“Luo Zheng, how shameless must one be to reach your level? Go to hell. I’ll never love you in this life!”
…
However, the person who saved him really wasn’t Mu Nianqing! It was her.
She then burst into tears and was filled with agony.
In the end, he said, “Luo Zheng, listen up. Let’s put aside the fact that you posed as Nianqing. Even if you were the one who saved me, so what? I would rather die than be saved by you!”
