Luo Xi’s gaze met his, and she froze for a moment.
Memories long sealed suddenly surged into her mind.
In her first year at school, she had fallen in love with Leng Yuan at first sight.
Like many other girls, she pursued him frantically and tried nearly every method she could think of.
At first, she secretly left lollipops on his desk.
Later, hearing from Luo Yuyi that boys like Leng Yuan despised childish things like lollipops, she learned that he had gotten angry in classroom after discovering the candies she secretly put.
From then on, Luo Xi dared not give him candy again and switched to other gifts.
She was too shy to approach him directly, so knowing Luo Yuyi and Leng Yuan had a closer relationship as members of the student council, she thought he would surely accept gifts from her.
Thus, whenever she prepared food, she would ask Luo Yuyi to deliver it, or she would pay other student council members to help.
But after nearly a year of effort, she still hadn’t touched this young man’s heart. In fact, he disliked her even more.
If not for a sudden family emergency, Luo Xi might have continued her pursuit.
Of course, she was referring to her self in her previous life.
Now, looking back on those actions, Luo Xi felt speechless. It was akin to a dark history for her present self.
So she maintained a serious expression and said firmly, “No!”
No, it wasn’t her. The one who sent him gifts was that foolish Luo Xi from before, not the current her!
Leng Yuan tightened his hand at his side, pressed his lips together, and spoke, “Are you… sure it wasn’t you?”
“I’m sure!”
“You’re lying!” His pupils suddenly deepened, and his tone carried hints of anger.
Luo Xi was startled and stepped back two paces, looking at him warily. “You, what do you want? By seniority, I’m your sister-in-law. If you dare to threaten me, I’ll tell your brother!”
At this, Leng Yuan’s expression darkened even more.
He had always been unwilling to believe this truth, but today’s arrival of that man finally gave him the courage to check the school’s surveillance footage.
Because the school feared something might happen, they kept records of every classroom’s surveillance.
When he saw Luo Xi’s figure in the footage, he realized he had been mistaken all along.
He thought that the girl who once made his heart flutter was Luo Yuyi, but after seeing the surveillance footage, he realized that the one who had been sending him candy all along was actually Luo Xi!
No wonder the food from Luo Yuyi had tasted different since she married his brother. No wonder Luo Yuyi claimed she never ate lollipops!
It turned out he had been wrong from the very beginning!
Watching his expression shift from gloom to regret to anger, Luo Xi felt a bit confused.
Did this person bring her here just to question the origins of a lollipop?
“If you’re done, I’ll be leaving.”
Seeing her act as if she were avoiding a plague, a wave of frustration surged in Leng Yuan’s heart.
“You once liked me so much, why don’t you now? Is it because of him?” His expression was complicated as he asked.
The “him” he referred to was naturally Leng Minxing.
Luo Xi scoffed: “You know that was in the past.”
Leng Yuan paused at her words and suddenly a chill spread across his face.
“Is your affection so cheap that you can just forget it?”
“No! It’s not that my feelings are cheap, it’s that the person I liked didn’t deserve my affection, so I found someone who does!” Luo Xi replied with a sarcastic smile.
