Chapter 506: After a Breakup, Peach Blossom Luck Comes Rolling In

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

"It doesn't matter whether she regrets it or not. I'll just treat it as me being a poor judge of character. More than two years of feelings, just bury them," Little White Dove said gloomily.

He had always maintained an optimistic attitude about being cheated on.

But every time he thought about it, it still hurt.

Before, he liked a person. Now, he liked being alone.

From fearing nothing when it came to liking someone, to now, the very mention of love made his heart ache.

"Mm, Senior, hold out your hand," Sheng Xinyi said softly.

"What is it?" Little White Dove asked.

"Just hold it out," Sheng Xinyi said, looking at him bashfully, her eyes brimming with tears.

Puzzled, Little White Dove held out his hand.

Sheng Xinyi took the red string from her own wrist, then tied it around Little White Dove's wrist.

Her snow-white fingers brushed lightly against his skin, and Little White Dove trembled.

He stared straight at Sheng Xinyi's delicate, beautiful face.

"Senior, I got this red string at the Yue Lao Temple. It's very effective for praying for Peach Blossom Luck. With this, you'll definitely find a girl you like."

Sheng Xinyi's eyes were utterly sincere.

Little White Dove was taken aback, then refused, "No, you got this yourself. How can you give it to me?"

"I don't need it anymore, because I… I… already found the person I like." Sheng Xinyi mustered her courage and told Little White Dove, her cheeks flushed deep red. "I wish you happiness soon."

Little White Dove looked at the girl's determined face. He had meant to refuse, but the words changed by the time they reached his mouth.

"Alright, thanks." He actually accepted it.

He looked at the red string on his wrist, and surprisingly didn't find it awkward.

He had originally thought it was too effeminate for a guy to wear this.

But since it was from her, it actually seemed somewhat fitting on him, and made his skin look fairer.

"Sheng Xinyi, why are you here too?" Jiang Xueli, who had just come out of the fitting room, was delighted when she saw Sheng Xinyi.

"Shirley, you know Senior too!" Sheng Xinyi's eyes were a little surprised, then she looked at Little White Dove. "Senior, you two…"

"My brother is his buddy!" Jiang Xueli said with a smile, introducing her to Little White Dove. "This is a friend from my Model Club. Pretty, isn't she? I was planning to introduce her to you, but I never imagined the two of you would meet on your own."

"What are you saying!" Little White Dove's face went bright red, and he glared at the loose-lipped Jiang Xueli.

"Now that you've been dumped, isn't it the perfect time for new love to nourish you! I think you two are quite a match!" Jiang Xueli winked at Little White Dove.

Little White Dove smiled bitterly. "Stop teasing! You'll scare her!"

"Th-that won't happen." Sheng Xinyi lowered her little head and said shyly.

"I just got a message saying something came up at my studio. Oh, right, these clothes I picked out, deliver them all to my brother later! Don't let him catch a cold, you hear me!" The ever-brother-obsessed Jiang Xueli glared at Little White Dove and instructed him.

"Got it. He's got a girlfriend to hold him, how could he catch a cold?" Little White Dove was truly envious of Jiang Muye. Not only did he have a pretty, gentle girlfriend, he also had a worrying little sister.

She was even better than a real sister.

"He still needs to take good care of his health!" Jiang Xueli harrumphed. "I'm going to pay."

After Jiang Xueli went to swipe her card, she immediately put a whole pile of things in front of Little White Dove. "I'm counting on you. I'll bring you something tasty later."

"Fine." Little White Dove shook his head.

Was this easy for him?

He'd gotten dumped today, and now he had to carry things for his so-called friend.

After Jiang Xueli slipped away early, Little White Dove started picking up the big and small bags, and said to Sheng Xinyi, "I'm heading out. Bye, Junior."

"Wait, Senior, can we walk together?" Sheng Xinyi's long, curled lashes blinked slightly.

"Aren't you here to buy things?" Little White Dove asked, puzzled.

"I am here to buy things, but I… I…" Sheng Xinyi looked around, then said to Little White Dove, "I looked around and it seems there's nothing much I want to buy. It's very late now, and I'm a little afraid it might be dangerous, so I'll just come with you."

Little White Dove looked at the delicate, lovely Sheng Xinyi and felt she was indeed quite in danger.

Wandering outside late at night, and all alone. If she ran into some thugs on the way back, that wouldn't be good.

"Alright, then come with me." Little White Dove nodded, not refusing.

Sheng Xinyi said shyly, "Thank you."

Her tender white hand reached for the things in Little White Dove's hands. "Let me carry something for you."

"No need, I can handle it. I'm a guy, after all." Little White Dove wasn't boasting.

What was this compared to before? He'd carried even more than this.

"It's fine, let me. Senior helped me out so much before, and I never properly helped you with anything." Sheng Xinyi said shyly.

Seeing Sheng Xinyi's timid yet insistent manner, Little White Dove could only give her a small bag to carry.

After taking the bag, Sheng Xinyi was thoroughly satisfied.

The corners of her red lips curved up secretly, and she walked beside Little White Dove, shy and content.

Her gaze fixed on Little White Dove's wrist.

The scarlet red string on his hand made her eyes soften considerably.

Sheng Xinyi was rather timid and didn't talk much. Along the way, it was Little White Dove who did the talking, and she was the listener.

She was very patient. Although she didn't say much, she never gave perfunctory responses; she said whatever needed to be said.

That soft, clear voice was pleasant to the ear.

Little White Dove felt it was nice to have someone listen to him talk.

"Am I talking too much?" Little White Dove was afraid Sheng Xinyi might mind how much he talked.

"N-no, not at all!" Sheng Xinyi turned her face at once, her eyes blinking, terribly shy. "But Senior, you don't mind that I talk too little?"

"How could I!" Before, Little White Dove had always been the one talking, and people had even called him a chatterbox.

Even Suya was always absent-minded whenever she listened to him.

But Little White Dove was just a talker. He couldn't help it, so what could he do?

A faint smile appeared on Sheng Xinyi's pretty face, and she said to Little White Dove, "That's good. My personality is a bit introverted, and I'm afraid people find me boring."

"Not at all, your personality is great. Being a bit introverted is good. It's easy to calm down and get things done. Talk less, do more — that's solid!"

Hearing Little White Dove's words, Sheng Xinyi let out a light laugh and replied shyly, "I never imagined that to Senior, my shortcomings would become strengths."

Little White Dove chuckled. "Nah, who says being introverted is a shortcoming? I'd cuss out anyone who did, all eighteen generations of their ancestors. As long as a person isn't doing anything wicked, so what if she's a social phobic?"

Sheng Xinyi nodded heavily, smiling sweetly.

When Sheng Xinyi and Little White Dove appeared on campus, the students passing back and forth were all stunned.

"Am I seeing things? Isn't that Chen Ge, the one always around Jiang Muye? How's he walking with Sheng Xinyi! I remember Chen Ge has a girlfriend!"

A boy who admired Sheng Xinyi responded sourly, "You must be on 2G internet. I heard they broke up today. But how does he even know Goddess Sheng? I couldn't even get through to her. I tried to hit on her before, and she didn't even glance at me, said she didn't have WeChat."

Everyone, urge me to update — I'm not bragging, one click and you'll meet a beauty.
