Chapter 179: Xi Mubai, Do You Like Me?
Perhaps, Shen Lu was right, Luo Zheng did look rather pretty without her thick makeup.
She was so beautiful... that it made his heart race!
He wanted to retreat but Luo Zheng did not give him the chance to. She suddenly raised a hand and smacked it against his shoulder. She then tiptoed slightly.
In the end, she muttered confidently, “Senior Mubai, you’re suddenly paying so much attention to me. Can I understand it as... you being interested in me?”
After hearing this, Xi Mubai’s body stiffened and his pupils constricted as his mind went blank.
It seemed that the secrets hidden in his heart which he didn’t even know, were suddenly dug out... by none other than Luo Zheng. That made him feel very ashamed!
“Xi Mubai, do you like me?”
Luo Zheng asked calmly at the next moment.
Xi Mubai immediately frowned gloomily, as if something had been ignited. He denied, “No! Luo Zheng, stop being so narcissistic, I’ll never like you... ”
He then repeated, as if he were reminding himself, “I will never like you!”
Luo Zheng was bewildered by his behavior. She sneered, “Senior Mubai, I was just asking casually, why are you so nervous? Of course I know that you will never like me since you’re so full of pride!”
Luo Zheng said, gazing at his slightly swollen cheeks. She suddenly caressed it gently and asked, “Senior Mubai, does it hurt?”
Xi Mubai was greatly startled as her hand was clammy.
He suddenly discovered that her body temperature was low and she looked extremely weak and thin in the large patient’s uniform. She was as pale as a sheet and her chin was sharp, making her look pitiful and lovable.
Just as he was about to answer, she smiled and said, “Remember this pain, because... this is just the beginning!”
What does she mean?
Xi Mubai was puzzled for a moment and couldn’t figure it out.
Luo Zheng thought to herself,
These four slaps are just the beginning. In the future, I will let him have a taste of what it’s like to be in a living hell and to be on the verge of despair like herself in the previous life!
The thought of it made Luo Zheng’s expression return to normal. Her hand slipped down his face and fell onto his shoulder.
She then said gently, “Fortunately you’re not interested in me, Senior Mubai! Otherwise, I... would be fretting!”
Unable to stay silent any longer, Xi Mubai asked, “Why?”
“Why?”
Luo Zheng repeated, as her eyes narrowed.
Then, she leaned forward and almost touched him, so as to let him hear her clearly. “Because, if that were the case, I will feel that Senior Mubai... is really cheap!”
Xi Mubai felt embarrassed and too, leaned forward to ask, “Luo Zheng, what do you mean?”
“What else can I mean? I just feel like a man like that would be too cheap! He was wooed for three years but he never once reciprocated! Yet, after his suitor gave up, he decided to give her a response. If that’s not cheap... what is it?”
Luo Zheng answered nonchalantly but it sounded deafening to him.
She’s giving up on me?
So, she’s not acting nor turning her love into hate. It’s only because... she has chosen to give up?”
“Luo Zheng, you... ”
“Ah, am I disturbing you two?”
