Li Caiyi refused to waste any more ti talking with Gu Xue. She would never trust Gu Xue with anything. Honestly, Li Caiyi just wanted to cut the connection between them here.
Although Li Caiyi was aggrieved and resented both of them deeply, they weren't worthy of her ti and emotion. She had spent enough of those in her previous life and was fed up with it.
As long as they didn't provoke her or didn't show up their face in front of her, Li Caiyi wouldn't seek trouble for herself, either.
Not because she had forgotten what they did to her, but because she wanted to save that ti and effort on herself this ti. She still had a long road ahead of her, and she wouldn't let one or two enemies hinder her from her objectives.
Li Caiyi ignored Gu Xue's scream behind her and strode towards the park entrance.
Because of the emotion raging inside her, she didn't pay attention at first. However, she soon noticed a familiar tall figure standing at the entrance, and her pupils dilated in surprise.
"Brother Renshu? Why are you here?" Li Caiyi stopped in her tracks.
ng Renshu didn't answer as he approached her. With a hooded expression that made it difficult for her to discern his mood, he gently tugged on her collar like trying to take her shirt off. The sudden movent caught her off guard.
"Wait, what do you think you are doing?" Li Caiyi exclaid in surprise and pushed him away. But he was like an immovable mountain, as he barely budged at all.
"You are hurt," ng Renshu said in a raspy voice. His warm finger gently touched a spot on her neck, and the contact caused a slight sting, followed by a goosebump all over her body.
Li Caiyi put her hand on the source of the sting out of reflex, and she could feel a few grazes, like the wound from soone clawing at her. She assud Gu Xue's nails must have grazed on her neck when she roughly grabbed her.
Having ng Renshu notice it imdiately made her uneasy, so she pried his hand away from her neck. "Don't mind it. It's just a little scratch."
ng Renshu didn't insist and only stared at her in silence. Li Caiyi could feel sothing was off with him, but she didn't want to linger here for long, or Gu Xue would catch up and cause more trouble for her.
"I'm in a bit of a hurry, so goodbye."
"Do you want to do sothing to that woman?"
ng Renshu's words made her stop in her tracks. She turned back with disbelief written all over her face. "What did you just say?"
"That woman. You hate her, right?" ng Renshu repeated his words, convincing Li Caiyi she didn't imagine things when she heard the repressed anger in his voice.
"Did you see?"
He nodded, and Li Caiyi pressed her lips in a hard line. "I see. You don't need to do anything. Everything is over already. I just hope she won't appear in front of anymore."
"Even so, she has made you suffer for a long ti. I can tell just from your conversation."
"It doesn't matter."
"No, it does matter."
Li Caiyi's brows were raised at his stubbornness. He sounded agitated and bitter like he was the one who was wronged by it.
"Brother Renshu, I appreciate your concern. But a woman like her is not worthy of your effort, and I can handle her myself. Please don't think much of it."
'In short, please don't concern yourself with ,' Li Caiyi added in the heart. A person as quick as ng Renshu surely would catch the drift.
"Xiaoyi, I have never seen you act like that before. I can tell you are very upset, and you must resent her so much. Why don't you just reveal everything about her to the dia? If you don't dare to do it, let take care of it for you."
If Li Caiyi found sothing was off with him before, now she felt creeped out by his 'kind' intention. Whether she was aggrieved or not, that was none of his business.
Why did he have to make it sound like whatever she was feeling was part of his responsibility? She really didn't like to hear it coming from him.
"I don't think you'll understand any words I'm saying even if I explain more, so I'll stop here. I have more important things to do, and I'm sure you are the sa."
"If it weren't but Dai Zhiqiang who said it, would you rely on him more?"
"Ah? Why are you suddenly bringing him into this?"
ng Renshu bit her lips. He really didn't intend to eavesdrop, but when he saw Li Caiyi walking out of the school grounds with a stranger, he was curious and concerned.
Later, he noticed that the woman was actually the nurse Li Jirong introduced to them in the past, and he suddenly felt interested.
What kind of business did that nurse have with Li Caiyi?
ng Renshu had already heard from Li Junjie that soone had been helping Li Caiyi gather evidence against Li Jirong. If the said person was that nurse, then everything would make sense. He just didn't understand why that nurse would suddenly appear in their school.
After he listened to so of their conversations, there was nothing he couldn't understand. If Gu Xue's malicious words could easily pierce his ears, he couldn't imagine how Li Caiyi must have felt.
He was ready to jump in when the situation escalated. What he didn't expect was that his childhood friend could retaliate so fiercely, like a ferocious tiger roaring at her enemy. However, behind that ferocity, he could faintly sense her vulnerability.
That was probably his first ti seeing the raw anger and hate from Li Caiyi. Although she was cold to him, Li Caiyi had never spoken so harshly towards him.
It pained his heart to think how much she had to endure just so she could execute her plan well.
ng Renshu's admiration and fondness for her increased tenfold, filling his chest to the brim. His heart beca so tender for her, and he wanted to hug her petite fra so badly.
'If only she relies on more,' ng Renshu lanted his powerlessness. In front of Li Caiyi, he wasn't Young Master ng and not even a dependable big brother figure now.
For her, ng Renshu was just a person she would avoid like a plague. She was so close, yet he couldn't touch her at all. It frustrated him so much.
Even more so when he recalled how Li Caiyi had officially dated Dai Zhiqiang now. An imnse amount of frustration overwheld him, to the point he couldn't think clearly.
"If it was Dai Zhiqiang who is currently standing here, would you be in so much of a hurry brushing him off?"
'Would you show your weak and vulnerable side to that bastard but not ?' ng Renshu gritted his teeth.
He couldn't stand it.
He hated it.
He was the one who was closest to her and knew her better.
He could protect her better, so why?
Why couldn't it be him?
"I'm saying you can use to have your revenge. Just say a word, and I'll fulfill it for you. Xiaoyi, please use my feelings for you however you like."
If it ant that he could secure more space in her heart like this, he wouldn't mind. He would do anything so she would look at him, even for a second longer.
