Chapter 368: Oh No, It’s Not a Safe Period
Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong
Boss Cutie
After the internet went down, the days were simply unbearable.
Su Lin felt that the days ahead would be pure torment. Nursing a grudge, she decided she couldn't just sit around waiting for her fate.
So when another maid came to deliver food and dishes, Su Lin instinctively grabbed a letter, then pulled a stack of cash from her purse and handed it to the maid. "Help me mail a letter, and this money is yours."
When the maid saw the bright red banknotes, her eyes lit up. "Of course."
Su Lin looked at the maid, whose eyes had opened wide at the sight of money, and felt a little consolation in her heart.
Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli definitely wouldn't expect that she still had a backup plan, something that could help her turn the tables.
…
The next day, at the academy, the sun shone brightly.
Leng Ruoli walked out of the teaching building, ready to head to her appointment.
She and Jiang Muye had a date today. Just thinking about being together with Jiang Muye, she couldn't hold back the sweetness in her heart.
However, just as Leng Ruoli was brimming with anticipation, she suddenly felt a rush of warmth.
It was extremely uncomfortable, extremely damp and sticky.
Leng Ruoli's little face went pale, and she was utterly mortified.
She had actually gotten her period at a time like this!
Done for, she had completely forgotten to count the days!
Especially when she realized it had already leaked through, and she had no idea what to do, when suddenly a warm gaze landed on her.
A moment later, Leng Ruoli felt someone press up against her.
She froze, then felt a wave of heat wrap around her.
Then something was tied around her waist.
Leng Ruoli's lips moved slightly, and she realized a black jacket had been tied around her waist.
She quickly looked back, and met a pair of pitch-black eyes.
He gave her a gentle smile, and that familiar face was completely seared into her mind.
However, Leng Ruoli quickly snapped back to her senses, pulled her thoughts away, and backed off in revulsion. "Yu Xi!"
Just as she instinctively moved to take off the jacket, Yu Xi stopped her. "Keep the jacket on."
"No need." Leng Ruoli had no intention of accepting Yu Xi's kindness, especially after all the ridiculous stunts Yu Xi had pulled before, which made Leng Ruoli utterly despise her.
Yu Xi could tell Leng Ruoli loathed her, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she said calmly, "I'm just helping you out of a tight spot. After all, it wouldn't be good if someone noticed you'd leaked through. Don't worry, I'm not asking for anything in return. I just purely want to help you."
But Leng Ruoli decisively yanked the jacket from her waist and tossed it straight back to Yu Xi. "I don't believe you!"
She wasn't an idiot. How could she fail to see through Yu Xi's intentions?
Yu Xi was just a petty schemer. If she let herself be led around by the nose by Yu Xi, she'd be a complete fool.
Other than her own fiancé, Leng Ruoli didn't want to spend any more time than necessary with other members of the opposite sex, to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Just as Leng Ruoli was about to leave, a magnetic voice suddenly rang out. "Six years ago."
Leng Ruoli's breathing stopped.
She immediately turned back and stared at her in astonishment.
Yu Xi's eyes were full of turbulence.
"I saved you."
Leng Ruoli felt a sharp pain stab through her head, as if some shattered memories were surging up in her mind.
She desperately tried to recall, but the more she thought, the more her head hurt.
As Leng Ruoli clutched her head in agony, she already felt the other's figure loom over her.
Those blazing, deep eyes made Leng Ruoli deeply repulsed.
"Could it be you've forgotten all about it?"
Her words made Leng Ruoli's heart lurch violently.
Leng Ruoli's eyes went wide.
She felt as if something within her memories was about to break through the dawn, yet in the next instant it was nothing but blankness.
"I… I…"
Leng Ruoli felt hollow inside, utterly helpless.
Especially that feeling of being unable to remember, which left her utterly lost.
Yet Yu Xi smiled gently. "If you've forgotten everything, I don't mind telling you all of it."
Her body had already drawn close to Leng Ruoli.
Her hot breath was already nearing Leng Ruoli's ear.
However, just as her breath touched her, Leng Ruoli reflexively shoved her away.
Leng Ruoli stumbled backward a few steps in panic, resisting her presence, and became agitated. "I don't want to know!"
She was extremely anxious.
She felt even more certain that she really had lost some memory.
This part of her memory seemed to be something she cared deeply about, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't recall it. Especially with Yu Xi staring straight at her, that feeling made Leng Ruoli even more uncomfortable.
Leng Ruoli even fled in a panic.
Crash—
Dark clouds gathered densely, and the sky had already begun to pour with rain.
Completely without any warning.
It gave Leng Ruoli a fright. Her shoulders trembled, and she instinctively rushed forward.
In the rain she was utterly distraught. People were watching, but she couldn't care less about herself.
Her mind was filled with the words Yu Xi had just reminded her of.
Her head hurt so much, so much.
Leng Ruoli could barely breathe.
Especially since her mind was filled with a sobbing voice.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, wuwuwu…"
This female voice was extremely familiar.
It was engraved into her bones, yet Leng Ruoli just couldn't remember where she had heard it.
Leng Ruoli's eyes were about to split open. Her mind was now completely blank, yet it felt as if a hammer had viciously struck it, unbearably painful.
Leng Ruoli clutched her head, and her eyes instantly turned red.
As she suffered, a pair of ice-cold hands covered her shoulders.
Leng Ruoli's fear deepened.
She curled up even tighter, and cried out in revulsion, "Don't touch me…"
She even flung off that pair of ice-cold hands.
"Ruoli, what's wrong?" An anxious voice rang out.
Leng Ruoli froze. She followed the voice and looked over, and found a boy holding an umbrella crouched down beside her.
His eyes were filled with worry, and even his shoulders had been somewhat soaked by the rain, mottled with wet patches.
This face was identical to Yu Xi's, but it gave Leng Ruoli a feeling of familiarity.
Tears glistened in Leng Ruoli's eyes.
Her nose immediately went red. Right now she was completely timid and sensitive.
At this moment, Jiang Muye was utterly frightened by Leng Ruoli's sobbing.
He had just come back from playing basketball with Little White Dove and the others, only to find Leng Ruoli running in the rain, getting drenched. He had grabbed an umbrella and chased after her.
Who would have thought he'd run into Leng Ruoli looking so sensitive and timid, even flinging off his hand at the critical moment, having a stress reaction.
This was rarely seen in the past.
The only time it had happened was when it thundered.
But hadn't Leng Ruoli already lost her memory?
Puzzled, Jiang Muye tentatively asked, "Are you feeling any better?"
He hurriedly pulled a tissue from his pocket and began wiping Leng Ruoli's already soaked little face.
Leng Ruoli raised her pitiful little face. Her brown hair, soaked by the rain, clung to her fair little face, which was flushed red, so delicate it stirred the heart.
She even gazed at Jiang Muye with deep affection, and just as she was about to burrow into Jiang Muye's embrace, she thought of something and pulled away.
Seeing Leng Ruoli hesitate, Jiang Muye asked, "What's wrong?"
