"Who are you trying to scare with that ghastly look?" Lu Siyuan glared at him with annoyance.
Adjusting his emotions, Du Xiaohui suddenly realized, "Lu Siyuan, do you like Shen Mianmian?"
Thinking about it more carefully, Lu Siyuan cared too much for Shen Mianmian, way beyond what friends would. He also never allowed him to call her Mianmian. Considering his words just now, Du Xiaohui was almost certain that Lu Siyuan had feelings for Shen Mianmian.
He was really as dumb as a pig, only figuring it out now.
"Are you an idiot? Only now you see?" Unlike before, Lu Siyuan admitted it outright this time, his gaze filled with an undeniable possessiveness. He did like Shen Mianmian. When they were younger, he didn’t understand these feelings, but as they grew, he slowly got it. However, he was afraid Shen Mianmian didn’t feel the same way, so he wanted to wait until they were both at college to confess.
But he never anticipated these accidents would happen.
He remained silent for a while, then spoke firmly, "Lu Siyuan, don’t worry. In the days you’re not here, I’ll take good care of her and won’t let anyone bully her."
Seeing his serious attitude, Lu Siyuan became even more uneasy and warned, "Du Xiaohui, I’m just asking you to look after her for me; don’t get any other ideas."
He didn’t feel at ease with any man around Shen Mianmian.
"Hey, what are you thinking?" Du Xiaohui looked slightly uncomfortable, then added, "I’m only agreeing to help you look after her because I’d hate for all the effort you’ve put in Beijing to go to waste. I don’t have any designs on her. Even if you both get into Beijing School and I don’t, what’s the point in me having any thoughts? It’d all be for nothing. I’m not foolish enough to waste my energy like that."
Hearing this, Lu Siyuan’s expression turned smug, "Well, you might not be good at studying, but at least your brain’s working. Mianmian and I are just temporarily separated. Once she gets into Beijing University, we’ll never be apart again in this lifetime."
Du Xiaohui snorted, "Beijing, with all its beauties, who knows if you might change your mind by then."
Lu Siyuan’s eyes widened in anger, "I’m not that sort of person, and don’t you say such things in front of Mianmian." What if Mianmian doubted his sincerity?
Just as Du Xiaohui was about to speak, he saw Shen Mianmian come in with two cups of water. He quickly shut his mouth. The water was hot, so she placed it on a nearby cabinet to cool, then sat beside Lu Siyuan, "Out with it! Who did you fight with to end up ?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
Lu Siyuan didn’t hide anything and explained the whole story. Shen Mianmian’s heart skipped a beat, and her face changed instantly, "Is Sun He seriously injured? Is it life-threatening?"
"Shen Mianmian, shouldn’t you be concerned about me right now?" Lu Siyuan felt aggrieved, "Why do you care about Sun He?"
If not for his injuries, Shen Mianmian would have slapped him, "If Sun He dies, do you realize you’ll be going to prison?"
In his past life, Lu Siyuan went to prison because of Tian Caiyan. He hadn’t expected that even in this life, he wouldn’t avoid the fate of fighting for Tian Caiyan. Seeing him previously severely injured, Shen Mianmian had not associated the incident with Tian Caiyan, which is why she had been relieved. But in the end, she still couldn’t escape the retribution of fighting for Tian Caiyan.
Knowing she was worried about Sun He for his sake, Lu Siyuan felt somewhat comforted, "Sun He is quite badly hurt, but he should survive."
