Chapter 303
The Qin family was stunned upon hearing this, and just as they spotted Yu Yue coming downstairs to look for someone, their sympathetic gaze shifted from Yu's Father to Yu Yue.
One wearing a green hat, the other bearing the black pot—it was truly an unlucky father and son duo!
Qin Xian hadn't expected so many misunderstandings to be involved. It seemed that some people only saw what they wanted to see, never questioning whether there was anything unreasonable about it.
However... Ke Yun'er had indeed been targeting Yu Yue from the beginning, so there had been a connection between them before, though Yu Yue didn't remember this girl.
As he was pondering this, he heard Ke Yun'er finally speak up next door.
Perhaps Yu Yi's expression was too varied, making Ke Yun'er feel uneasy.
Ke Yun'er was quite skilled at reading people. Observing that Yu Yi seemed more emotional and somewhat macho, she thought that playing the sympathy card, acting pitiful, and seeking compassion might be more effective.
So, facing the questioning she had misinterpreted, she ultimately chose to confess.
"I didn't mean to," Ke Yun'er's voice trembled.
"That night, I really... just wanted to leave one last beautiful memory, to bring an end to our feelings, so I took advantage of him being drunk... I never expected to get pregnant, and I didn't plan to have Yu Yue acknowledge the child, so I never discussed it with him. I just didn't expect the child to be unlucky and not make it into this world, leaving us all in trouble instead." Ke Yun'er's voice was mournful, evoking pity, and even Yu Yi was momentarily stunned.
"What do you mean? Did you two know each other before? Did you have some kind of emotional entanglement?" Yu Yi was genuinely curious and surprised, more than anything else.
“Yes, we knew each other long ago, and we were together once,” Ke Yun'er’s voice was exceptionally serious.
[What's going on? Lying, Ke Yun'er must be lying to deceive Yu Yi, since Yu Yue doesn't remember her at all, how could... Could she be a plastic surgery freak, with a changed identity?!?
Qin Xian raised an eyebrow; it was impossible. Perhaps, like that one night's accident, Ke Yun'er merely believed there was an emotional connection.
After all, since college, their small circle had known each other's situations, and everyone knew that Yu Yue's life had only revolved around Bai Xiaoxi from the start.
They were inseparable in college.
Later, the two went abroad to study. Originally, they had planned to go to the same country, but Bai's family unexpectedly changed Bai Xiaoxi's destination, resulting in a long-distance relationship.
Even so, they stayed in constant contact daily, until Yu Yue couldn't take it anymore. In less than half a year, he dropped out of school and ran to find Bai Xiaoxi. That clingy intensity, how could there be room for another woman?
Ji Fei and Qin Xian both dismissed the idea from their perspectives, only to hear faint sobs.
It was then that they noticed Bai Xiaoxi was there.
At this moment, Bai Xiaoxi seemed on the verge of collapse.
Due to the photos that had influenced her first, she couldn't fully trust Yu Yue as Ji Fei and Qin Xian did.
She covered her mouth with her hands, but still couldn't suppress her sobs.
Ji Fei quickly crouched down, hugging Bai Xiaoxi and letting her cry in her arms, while comforting her, "It must be fake, all fake, you have to believe in Yu Yue, we'll go ask him clearly later."
Such matters were easy to resolve. If it weren't for the ongoing drama next door, Ji Fei could have taken Bai Xiaoxi to find Yu Yue right away.
But since Ke Yun'er had already started spreading lies and rumors, they had to uncover the whole lie, asking everything clearly to avoid any misunderstandings and further problems.
Leaving such loopholes was something that only happened in cheesy dramas. With the gossip master Ji Fei here, that definitely wouldn't happen.
The conversation next door continued.
Yu Yi naturally couldn't believe Ke Yun'er's story.
This time, Ke Yun'er presented a poignant love tale.
It turned out that Ke Yun'er and Yu Yue had been high school classmates. One was from an ordinary family, the other a wealthy young master, and they weren't even in the same class, just the same grade, so it was unlikely they would have known each other.
At that time, Yu Yue hadn't met Bai Xiaoxi yet. He was still that rebellious, world-weary scion, often skipping classes to nap in the infirmary, then staying out late partying.
Ke Yun'er first saw him in the infirmary. She had fainted during gym class due to anemia and was brought in to rest. Lying in the bed next to Yu Yue, she glimpsed him through the fluttering curtains, describing him as a handsome young master who looked like an angel fallen to earth, yet exuded an aura of loneliness.
When Ji Fei heard this description, she momentarily shifted from her mocking mood to being amused.
[An angel? An angel fallen to earth???
Qin Xian's mouth twitched; perhaps this was what they called "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Bai Xiaoxi's expression, however, finally changed, showing a hint of envy. Perhaps she was envious that Ke Yun'er had met Yu Yue earlier than she had...
"At that time, I fell in love with him at first sight. I secretly inquired about him and learned about his situation. It turned out he had lost his mother since childhood, and his father didn't care about him, which was why he seemed so lonely. I felt sorry for him and wanted to make him less lonely, so I often went to the infirmary to see him."
"At first, I didn't dare talk to him, but one day, he had a fever and was thirsty in his sleep. That's when I finally got to know him. The time we spent in the infirmary became our secret. He was very nice to me then, often sharing food and drinks, but he never talked about his inner turmoil. He would just occasionally stare outside. I really wanted to get closer to his heart, but time was too short. We went to different universities, and I didn't even get to say goodbye before I lost contact with him."
[Although it sounds like a melancholy teenage crush, why does it feel so strange? If they really spent so much time together, how come Yu Yue doesn't remember? He hasn't lost his memory; about high school, he barely had the mood to make friends, his memories are mostly of his underlings and hangers-on.]
Qin Xian: Maybe it's beautifying memories.
[And most importantly, that was ages ago; what kind of contact information didn't they have? How did they lose touch? Did Yu Yue never give her any contact details? Not even adding each other as friends?]
Qin Xian almost laughed out loud: Ji Fei spotted the blind spot.
But Ke Yun'er's story was so moving that even Bai Xiaoxi was swayed, even feeling that they might have had a beautiful, fleeting moment during their high school days.
What about herself, who had been pursued by Yu Yue right after starting university?
Of course, Bai Xiaoxi wasn't the only one affected; even the clueless Yu Yi was moved. He asked, "Then what do you mean by 'being together'? When was that?"
Ke Yun'er lowered her eyes and said, "I tried hard to find out about him, but by the time I found him, he was already dating Bai Xiaoxi. So I could only quietly watch from afar, never daring to approach again, until I heard he went abroad to study without Bai Xiaoxi, and then I appeared before him once more."
