I really didn’t expect to knock into Xi Mubai on a rainy day in such a manner… Damn it, should I blame it on Capital University being too small or are rivals just always bound to meet? I can’t seem to avoid him at all!
“Tricks? On who? You?”
Luo Zheng scoffed derisively and thought, he got the wrong idea and thought that I ran into him on purpose!
Well, the situation does seem really cliche.
“Senior Mubai, I’m really sorry for letting you down but I… really am not interested in playing tricks on you!”
Luo Zheng stared at him and sounded dignified.
She then glanced at the hand on her wrist and reminded, “So, please let go, don’t hinder me from finding someone!”
She thought that Xi Mubai wouldn’t hold her back since he was arrogant and lofty.
Yet, Xi Mubai did not let go and instead tightened his grip on her wrist. “Who are you looking for? Bo Hancheng?”
Not expecting him to be aware, Luo Zheng squinted while water dripped from her hair. She stared at him coldly and hollered, “Senior Mubai, this is none of your business!”
She was clearly admitting it. Xi Mubai’s heart sank.
He then scrutinized her in disgust and barked, “Why? Are you giving up on yourself and switching to wooing Bo Hancheng instead, just because I’m not interested in you? Luo Zheng, you’re nothing but man-crazy!”
In the past, he would never pay attention to Luo Zheng when she appeared in front of him all the time… However, this time, she ignored him and he weirdly couldn’t keep his cool!
However, he wouldn’t think that he cared about Luo Zheng… He thought that it was mostly because he was helping his close friend, Luo Tingxue out.
After all, Luo Tingxue had personally asked him to persuade Luo Zheng not too long ago.
Since he agreed to it, he couldn’t stand aside without doing anything now that he had run into Luo Zheng!
“Xi Mubai, narcissism is an illness that needs to be treated!”
The confused Luo Zheng thought to herself, isn’t he always aloof and distant towards me? What nonsense is he spouting now!?!
“Let go of me! Let go… ”
Luo Zheng struggled and tried to pull her wrist away forcefully, for she could not be bothered to let him pester her any longer.
However, he tightened his grip again after she struggled, making her feel overwhelmed with excruciating pain!
“Xi Mubai, did you forget to take your medicine before you left the house? Look carefully, I’m Luo Zheng, the Luo Zheng you detest the most! Aren’t you resistant towards the people you hate? SO, let go of me lest I dirty your hand!”
“How did you know that?”
Xi Mubai’s eyes turned gloomy and he questioned her.
He had always kept a distance from the people he hated because it was a personal habit… He was the only one who knew that and even his parents had no idea. How did Luo Zheng know?
Upon hearing his words, Luo Zheng froze and felt as if her heart had been pierced by needles.
Of course she knew. In her previous life, the two of them would keep a distance from each other even after they got engaged… Whenever she tried to get closer to him, he would shun her like the plague.
Finally, she couldn’t tolerate it any longer and decided to question him to find out the reason.
“Luo Zheng, I have a habit of staying away from the people I hate! You are the person I hate the most. I feel dirty even when you’re near me… How can I tolerate letting you touch me?”
The words that he said back then were still fresh in her memory.
Yet, he was now holding onto her tightly and refusing to let go. How ironic!
“Xi Mubai, I don’t have the time to waste with you! Let go of me… ”
“Luo Zheng, are you going to vie with Tingxue for the person she likes!?!”
Before Luo Zheng could even finish speaking, she unexpectedly heard his cold voice.
Luo Zheng froze and asked, “Vying with Cousin for the person she likes?”
“Bo Hancheng is Tingxue’s crush! Luo Zheng, Tingxue is your cousin. She’s showing concern for you despite the past conflicts. If you have a little conscience, you’d better not be so shameless!”
