PART 04 Who am I

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

On one hand, I want to know what his purpose is; on the other hand, I really admire the demeanor of Young Master Shang Er.

"Why must we make her gain weight?" Xiao Bie sighed, his tone filled with sorrow, "I think that would be very cruel to her"

I deliberately pressed my lips together, and I estimate that my expression must be very serious

Meow, do you need to sleep with the light on

"Xiao Bie, Mommy clearly asked you to walk with me, why did you leave me behind?" That place felt like another world to me; comparatively, Xiao Bie could still provide me with a sense of security.

The toothache grew increasingly severe, as I walked down the long corridor, I intended to find some white liquor to hold in my mouth to alleviate the throbbing pain in my tooth

Shang Huaijin lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes densely covering them, and said: "Xiao Bie left an hour ago."

He turned his face away, curled his lips, and said in an extremely indifferent manner: "Meow, meow, yesterday was April 1st!"

I glared at him with wide eyes: "But I did not find you."

I am puzzled, why would there be a joke

I do not like this! After a prolonged silence, Xiao Bie’s voice was unusually resolute, "I do not like to take advantage of such a girl, and besides, you and I both know that she..."

The imposing momentum startled the driver, who was wearing white gloves, causing him to tremble slightly in his seat

I believe there are women's clothing available here for female guests to change into. It is said that the owner of the establishment is a very charming and interesting man, and there are certainly no shortage of women. However, it is likely that none of those beautiful confidantes possess a physique as robust as mine

How ridiculous! I actually lost an entire night of sleep over this

Huaijin, yesterday ... ...

Gradually, he no longer spoke, but simply gazed deeply at me

It seems that I have no choice

Alright, I live in the adjacent room

However, upon closer inspection, the gradually diminishing figure of Xiao Mi in the mirror surprisingly bears a resemblance of about seventy to eighty percent to Lin Ruo Xuan

Could it be that the "she" they are talking about is actually me

I walked barefoot towards the large bed, which appeared soft and very comfortable.

Why is Xiao Mi so fat? It turns out that the late-night snacks contain a potent fattening agent! When I was a child at my uncle's house in the countryside, I personally witnessed them using this fattening agent to turn a small, thin pig into an extremely fat one

Now, even the ordinary has become my luxury

The final decision is to completely kill the dental nerve and place a crown on top for protection

His eyes sparkled as he smiled at Dr. Jiang: "Dr. Jiang, you are not unaware that the young lady always refuses to see the dentist. Every time she is in pain, she just endures it with medication."

I turned sideways to leave, and inadvertently glanced at the mirror, suddenly freezing as if struck by electricity

I can always look in the mirror, hoping to make myself a little more beautiful, a little more beautiful.

I do not know whether Xiao Mi has such a birthmark, but I, Lin Ruoxuan, indeed have such a birthmark on my lower back, resembling a small butterfly

A strange feeling, as if I am looking at someone I used to know very well, yet I cannot recall who it is. I do not have many friends, and the closest one is Fang Weilan, with whom I share a rented apartment, but the face before me is clearly not hers.

His warm breath sprayed on my earlobe, the heat spreading from my face to my ears and neck

What day was yesterday, and what kind of day allows one to so maliciously toy with the feelings of others

You cannot do it this way. Xiao Bie turned to look at me, mouth agape and breathing heavily, suddenly stopping, frowning and saying: "Mi | Mi, running with your mouth wide open like this will affect your heart and lungs, and you might catch a cold."

Mingming felt that the carpet underfoot was completely mismatched with the atmosphere of the room, yet when the soft wall lights illuminated the space, it simultaneously imbued the room with both a wild and an elegant ambiance

He bit his lip, looking quite conflicted. After a long while, he suddenly asked me: "Is it very important for you to succeed in losing weight? You are working so hard."

However, I cannot recall at the moment whose face this resembles

As the car passed by the house rented by Lin Ruoxuan, my heart sank, and I finally managed to refrain from asking the driver to stop.

On the eye socket of the young merchant, a round black circle is evident

However, even so, I do not regret the punch I threw

Although I took the pills and received a local injection, by midnight, the tooth started to hurt again

Everything fell silent

It was a bit awkward, I lowered my gaze and held onto the corner of the blanket without responding

However, Shang Huaijin is indeed a considerate person, not only concerned about hurting my pride but also attentive to the servants

Such days, a life of striving for survival every day, have already become disconnected from the present

Because Lin Ruoxuan had never weighed more than 90 pounds, when she first woke up and saw her large face in the mirror, it did not match her self-image at all

He cast a sidelong glance at me, walked past the coffee table, reached out to pick up the phone from the crystal stand, and skillfully dialed a number: "Doctor Jiang, the young lady's dental issue has recurred, could you come and take a look?"

I sat down and obediently speared a piece of salad with my fork, bringing it to my mouth, while anxiously awaiting Young Master Shang Er to ask me the answer to last night's question

Everything has become perplexing once again

His hand reached over, warmly pressing against my face

"Courtesy demands reciprocity, Brother Shang Er." I paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Brother Shang Er, the eyes of a wretched dog suit you perfectly"

Moreover, one should not be ridiculed for being overweight.

Xiao Mi | Mi, it begins now... I truly appreciate your personality!

"Hmm, good night," he reached out to pat my head, bent down, and slowly pressed his lips against mine

I unexpectedly ignited a flame from the depths of my heart, as if I were longing to be with him

Shang Ershao suddenly took a few steps back, then stood frozen in place. After a while, he slowly clenched his fists, and the knuckles turned pale from the pressure.

One is the temperamental young master of the Shang family

After taking a shower, I went to the adjacent room, lay down on the bed, and rested my head on the pillowcase that carried the fragrance of tea. Usually, I do not have the habit of sleeping with the lights on, but in this unfamiliar environment, a sense of insecurity arose, so I left a very bright wall lamp and a soft bedside lamp on.

"Rest assured, I will not let her cling to you for long." Xiao's mother's voice was filled with intense hatred, as if it were squeezed out from between her teeth

There was a small red birthmark on the waist, resembling a tiny butterfly, poised to take flight

In the early morning, the servant brought new clothes, and surprisingly, they fit perfectly.

Recently, if someone is on a diet, it is highly likely to be me

Is it the butterfly dream of Zhuang Zhou, or Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly

Xiao Bie let out a long sigh, unable to bear looking at me any longer. He took the lead and ran a few steps, suddenly stopping to turn back and look at me with a determined gaze, slowly saying: "Alright, Mi | Mi, I will accompany you in losing weight. Everything starts anew."

Who do you like

I followed behind him, sweating profusely, as if there were an electric oven in my throat, scorching my windpipe and making it feel parched, with every step I took accompanied by heavy panting.

At dawn, I made up my mind to be brave just this once

After the transition, I no longer reflected on what my original body was like, which somewhat implies a sense of evasion

I sat down in the car with a thud

He did not answer me, but slowly asked, "Mi | Mi, is your tooth hurting?"

Swallowing my saliva, I tried my best to ignore the gaze that fell on my face: "Brother Shang Er, do you have any clothes I can change into?" I am still wearing the "Pagoda Vegetable" outfit!

I curled up my body

I turned around and frowned: "How would I know."

I gritted my teeth, stiffening my body as I looked at him, feeling a twinge of pain in my heart

The night is cool as water, and even the air exudes a chilling breath

I nodded to him, feeling a trace of anger in my heart: "Xiao Bie, why did you leave first?"

What? Have you gone back?

Orphaned at a young age, I became accustomed to avoidance, never touching upon the unpleasant, and this time is no exception

I walked while gritting my teeth, unable to sort out my thoughts for a moment

Where should I sleep, I am a bit tired. It seems that I won't be able to go back today

The voice of Mother Xiao spoke with an unspeakable ferocity: "... add a little more to the nourishing soup she drinks before going to sleep."

Xiao Bie!" Xiao's mother turned around and slightly raised her voice, "Mi | Mi is back." There was surprisingly a hint of indulgence in her tone, completely different from the way she spoke to me

Therefore, it is undoubtedly very important

I quietly had my meal, while Shao, the second son of the merchant, silently drank his coffee, showing no interest in conversing with me at all. He did not speak another word to me until my car arrived to pick me up. Naturally, he did not bring up the question he had asked last night either

I regard weight loss as the beginning of a rebirth

It so happened that it almost made me feel as if it were a premeditated accident

It turns out that Xiao Mi also has dental issues, indicating that the history is not short.

In two months, I will be attending that so-called elite school to begin my freshman year.

"Do you like this bed?" Shao Er stood behind me and sighed, "When I brought it back, both my eldest and youngest at home laughed at me.

I remember the last sight, a speeding black sedan charging towards me like a crazed bull with red eyes

Suddenly, I felt a weariness rising from the depths of my heart

Dr. Jiang immediately smiled kindly and nodded, saying: "Miss Xiao, it is not good to avoid treatment. You see, last time when I asked you to undergo treatment, you were unwilling, and this time you are going to damage the dental nerve."

I perked up my ears, my eyes wide open

"The best room here is my room," he paused for a moment, probably noticing my displeased expression, and added, "You can choose the next best parlor; although it is in the same suite as mine, I will absolutely not disturb you."

Indeed, a wretched person should be complemented by such marvelous eye circles

I am fighting alone

Like the second young master of the He family, the room is very refreshing. Although the space is large, only a few ink wash landscape paintings are hung symbolically. Apart from a writing desk against the wall and a large bed placed in the center, there is no other furniture, presenting a rather peculiar taste

Although I am aware, when I hear him call me so gently, my heart still skips a beat

It feels a bit cold

Ah, the car is about to arrive," he interrupted me quickly, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, then leisurely took a sip of coffee. "By the way, your clothes and jewelry have already been packed by the servant, and they will be sent to the car shortly.

Meow, you are back

At the end of the corridor, Xiao Bie, dressed in a white sweater and blue jeans, walked slowly towards me. Upon seeing me standing in the hall looking at him, he gave me a languid smile and said, "Miss, you have returned"

Unfortunately, it seems that fate is not inclined to allow me to continue evading like an ostrich. Things have gradually become strange, and I have no choice but to force myself to confront everything unknown that lies ahead

I know, but even though I can see her, I still cannot bring myself to like her. Xiao Bie’s voice was muffled.

He raised his right hand and took an oath

Entering the room of Shang Er Shao, I kicked off my high heels and walked barefoot on the fluffy carpet. Xiao Mi's feet were very cute, round and plump, small and white, standing on the fluffy carpet, making one unable to resist the urge to take a bite.

Aren't you going to sleep? I am very tired I am not used to being stared at like this

However, my heart feels as if it is burdened by a heavy weight, which is quite uncomfortable

He opened his mouth as if to speak but ultimately said nothing, and surprisingly, he started to run with me.

Accompanied by a faint pain in my chest and lungs, I suspect that the lack of exercise over a long period has caused this body to lose its regulatory function, to the extent that even breathing cannot properly coordinate with the active heart and lungs

The tone is quite frivolous

And I am the protagonist of this joke, foolishly entangled in the deep affection of the handsome man

Having taken the scissors, she hurriedly walked out, taking two steps at a time.

I am becoming increasingly confused, the hot water in the bathroom is flowing loudly, the steam is rising, and the mirror is gradually becoming blurred

I dressed myself, went downstairs, and walked into the hall. In the hall, there was a long dining table, where Shang Er Shao and Shang Xiao Shao were sitting, seemingly in the midst of a dispute. Upon seeing me approach, their argument abruptly ceased

"Please, it's early in the morning, do not affect others' appetites." Major General Shang Xiaoshao threw the fork in his hand onto the plate, producing a crisp clattering sound, and then he glared at me before rudely standing up and leaving.

"Xiao Bie, remember, I do not want you to like her, I only want you to possess her. Moreover, she is so lowly that she is not worthy of your genuine feelings." Xiao's mother's voice gradually grew colder, filled with deep hatred

I do not want to live my life in such a muddled and aimless manner

I rolled my eyes at the sky, as I am not a child anymore, nor do I need to pay attention to physical development

"Then this time, please heal me completely." I touched my cheek, which had already swollen, but due to the excess fat, I did not see much change in the mirror.

"Mi, you have arrived." The second young master of the Shang family, with a gentle expression, stood up, pulled out the chair closest to him, assumed a gentlemanly posture, and gazed at me affectionately

The entire hall was silent, with the only sounds being the occasional footsteps of servants and the clinking of knives and forks against porcelain plates

Here, I have no one to rely on

Mom Xiao put down the scissors in her hand and glared at him fiercely. When I turned my head, she immediately changed to a beaming smile: "You and Xiao Bie don't chat, Mommy has things to do."

I rolled up my sleeves, revealing a smooth expanse, the skin as white as snow

Perhaps I was not born to be an actor, as everything is written on my face

How large is the dosage if consumed every day

He must be very angry

I pondered for a while longer and decided to start the investigation from the body of my former self tomorrow

Mi, I have not abandoned you

Xiao Bie nodded slowly with a faint smile, saying: "Yes, it must be completely cured. In two months, school will start, and when the academic pressure increases, it will be even harder to find the mood for treatment."

"Good child, I know I am asking a lot of you. Just hold on a little longer, once you have a resolution with her, everything will be settled." Xiao's mother's voice was indescribably gentle, as if comforting a child who did not understand.

That being said, my heart still shamefully skipped a beat

I slowly closed my mouth, breathing rapidly

My face suddenly turned red, I clutched my clothes, lowered my head, and softly called out: "Huai Jin"

He looked at me with a smile and slowly said, "Because this bed is too large, it almost occupies the entire room. Huairen once joked that I need to find a plump wife to fill the whole bed."

I bit my lip, and at the moment I dove into the front of the car, I finally couldn't help but ask him: "I have the answer to the question you asked last night, do you want to hear it?"

By nightfall, all the little pink figures in the room had withdrawn. If anything is needed, simply press the button by the bedside to summon the servant.

I smiled faintly at Xiao Bie, then languidly walked into my room and casually closed the door.

He pretended to be deep in thought, and after a while, suddenly burst into laughter: "I remember now," his eyes filled with mockery, "are you referring to the question of wanting you to be my lover?"

A cold wind swept through, causing the lights in the corridor to dim momentarily, sending shivers down my spine.

He sat down beside my bed, extended his finger, and let the tip glide just above my eyes: "Mi | Mi, I never knew that your eyes were so beautiful."

The driver was sent by Xiao's mother, and is undoubtedly a member of the Xiao family, which makes it inevitable that my whereabouts will be leaked. Although I do not know exactly what has happened, my intuition tells me that if I want to know the truth, I must not let anyone know what I am about to do

Indeed, Xiao Mi, you are wealthy and affluent, why do you swallow pills like I do? How can a girl raised in a honey jar endure the pain of a toothache?

He stood under the soft light, and suddenly broke into a smile, raising the temperature of the room by several degrees.

I nodded. Of course, it is important

He immediately became very happy, smiling as he pointed at his clothes: "This is my pajamas, loose and comfortable, because this place is specifically for hosting banquets, and there are no women's outfits prepared for female guests. Moreover, the villa is too far from the city center, and I am not at ease with the servants going out so late, so please do not mind it."

I want you to deeply understand what is meant by the aftereffects of April Fools' Day

If I say this is my own body, then there should be a faint scar on the right side of my forearm, which was caused when my father taught me to ride a bicycle and I fell down as a child

My heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley, did yesterday's assumptions not exist at all, must everything be overturned and started anew

You do not understand, if she becomes thin," Xiao's mother paused for a moment, then slowly continued, "everything will change. Moreover, for her, the more cruel things are yet to come." Her voice grew increasingly cold.

In an instant, my heart nearly leaped out of my chest

I turned my head away, bit my lip, paused for a few seconds, then turned back to him and flashed a big smile: "No, I must persevere, I must lose weight, I want to be an ordinary nineteen-year-old girl!"

This is simply a blatant mockery

Drive

"Hmm, I know." The voice was similarly low, yet it was filled with a sense of helplessness

This is an old habit

"Huaijin," said Shang Ershao, casually handing over a set of clean pajamas, which carried a faint scent of tea. "Call me Huaijin; I am not your second brother."

A very frightening group

Whenever I think of the broth mixed with seasonings every night, I feel a deep-seated resentment towards him

Mental illness

By the way, she has been dieting recently

I raised my head and replied with a smile: "Yes, it is very important; this is the hope of my life"

I covered my mouth and sighed in pain: "What should I do? I am in so much discomfort." The pain radiated from my teeth to half of my head, throbbing intensely.

I can only open my mouth, breathing heavily while running.

I fear that if I continue to interact with him, I will truly become entangled. His qualities are too exceptional; compared to his appearance and the past achievements of Xiao Mi, his feelings seem to have sprouted too quickly.

He placed his hands on my shoulders, slightly turning me in a different direction, pointed to the bathroom inside, and said: "Mi | Mi, the hot water servant has already prepared it, you go wash up, tomorrow morning I will have them prepare another set of clothes for you"

In the hall, it was just the two of us, Xiao Bie and I, gazing at each other.

However, at three in the morning, I truly cannot bring myself to disturb someone's peaceful dreams

The eyes shimmer, seemingly harboring the budding of emotions within them

He said, "If it had been discovered earlier, perhaps it wouldn't have been necessary to kill the dental nerve." Although he murmured it softly, I still heard it and turned to look at Xiao Bie.

He sighed, and then a captivating smile rose from the corner of his lips: "My silly Mii, what day was yesterday? Have you forgotten?"

My heart raced rapidly, and I instinctively held my breath, my eyes wide open

I followed the sound and looked over, where I saw the young master Shang leaning against the door of the adjacent hall, just after his bath. Water droplets fell from his head, the collar of his pajamas slightly open, and his face was somewhat flushed due to the recent bathing, with his lips also tinted red

I gritted my teeth, desperately holding back my tears, and after a long while, I finally managed to discreetly blink them away from my eyes.

As I quietly and carefully removed my outer skirt, and in the moment I tore open the corset, I let out a deep sigh; this thing is truly not meant for human wear

Mom Xiao looked at me, then at Xiao Bie, and smiled gently: "Xiao Bie, make sure to explain things well to Mi Mi, as everything has its reasons."

The smile at the corners of his mouth deepened, his lips suddenly changed direction and stopped at my ear, whispering softly, as if a lover were speaking: "Mi | Mi, will you be my lover? I will only give you one night to consider."

These wealthy individuals are accustomed to smooth sailing, and once they encounter any setbacks, a strong sense of revenge is likely to arise.

I squatted in the shadow of the wall lamp, curling into a massive ball.

I lick between my teeth with my tongue, gently biting down with my upper teeth.

He turned his head away, pulled over a wooden chair, and gestured for me to sit down

What day is it? I still haven't figured out what day it is

I was momentarily stunned there

There is a large mirror in the bathroom, and I cannot help but scrutinize myself in it. The face gradually taking shape in the mirror appears remarkably familiar

Just as the door was about to close, a clean and slender hand suddenly reached in and forcefully held the car door. I looked up in astonishment and saw the second young master of the Shang family, with his dog-like eyes, leaning down and peering in.

"Hmm, yes, Mommy." I clenched my teeth and stopped in my tracks

He looked at me with amusement and said lightly, "You have been grinding your teeth all along"

Afraid to confront my own corpse, to face the tragic state of my own affairs after death

Understood. Xiao Bie’s voice was low, carrying a hint of helplessness

I admit that I have a birdling complex

I suddenly recalled my vocational school diploma, and a sense of unease filled my heart, making me even more confused about the future

"Xiao Bie, you cannot continue like this. There is only one year left until her twentieth birthday." The voice was very low, and I huddled in the corner, carefully discerning the voice. It was Xiao's mother

Major General Shang Er firmly held the car door, fixed his gaze on my eyes, and laughed in anger, laughing so hard that he was out of breath, as if he were having a fit.

Xiao Bie’s eyes flickered, revealing a hint of impatience, very subtle.

I quickly reached out my hand to seize control of the car door from him

He spoke these words with an air of nonchalance

In the past, I often experienced pain at school, and each time I would hurriedly buy medication and take pain relievers myself

A young businessman who is said to have obsessive cleanliness.

A trace of fear suddenly arose from the depths of my heart

Passing by Mother Xiao's house, I noticed a faint light seeping through the crack of the door

My heart sank suddenly, and I looked up at him sharply

He turned his head in confusion, and I deliberately put on a look of eager yet slightly desperate expression. Seeing me so "sad," he finally bent down slowly and brought his ear close to me

Did I invade Xiao Mi's life, or did Xiao Mi invade my life?

It should not be like this; he clearly knows what I want to say, yet he deliberately shifted the topic away from me

Tears are about to spill from my eyes, I try my best to hold them back, while raising my head, as my pride does not allow me to lose so disgracefully: "Well then, Young Master Shang Er, come here, I want to whisper something to you, and this is definitely not an April Fool's joke." I force out a pitiful smile.

He suddenly changed the subject, and I found it difficult to bring up what happened last night, so I could only awkwardly lower my head and continue eating the salad

Doctor Jiang shook his head and sighed at my teeth

On such a joyful April Fools' Day, it is truly better to enjoy together than to enjoy alone

The next day, I continued my routine of running

That night, I kept tossing and turning

Immediate results

Suddenly, I was taken aback—this tooth belongs to Xiao Mi, why does it still hurt?

I let out a sigh of despair, forcing a faint smile.

I admit that I have always been a loyal member of the appearance association

I want to be brave, I want to be strong

In his eyes, there seemed to be a vast whirlpool that drew my heart in

It is actually Xiao Bie

It is estimated to be a villa specifically designed for gatherings, with only a few maid's rooms on the first floor and three large rooms on the upper floor

"What is the problem?" He leaned against the car door, turned his head slightly, and stared at my downcast eyes, "Meow, meow, what is the problem?"

I could only hear the sound of my own rough breathing

My fondness for him has increased another layer

He innocently shrugged his shoulders, looking bewildered: "Perhaps the food tonight did not suit his taste, or maybe he ran into a girl he fancied and went off to cultivate a world for the two of them. In any case, he left shortly after the banquet began."

In this world, apart from myself, who else can protect me

I smiled gratefully and carried the clothes into the bathroom

The one in the middle, of course, belongs to the young businessman Shao Er, who is currently swearing an oath beside me

Then, the car drives as fast as a bullet train

It is truly a reason that is both laughable and absurd

The tooth I was biting gradually loosened

Very good, just like this

I lowered the car window a bit, and the wind sneaked in through the gap, blowing all the way. When I arrived at the Xiao family's place, I suddenly felt a dull ache in one of my molars

I will not give up on anything

I stepped out of the side hall, glanced around, and found that there were indeed not many rooms here

Knowing full well that nine out of ten statements made by Shang Huaijin are unreliable, I still cannot bring myself to feel angry

I am still Xiao Mi | Mi, Miss Xiao

I also laughed, but suddenly lowered my head, grabbed the car door for support, and forcefully slammed it upwards. Bang! It was a dull and loud sound. Then, taking advantage of the moment when Young Master Shang Er released his grip on the car door to cover his chin, I quickly slammed the door shut, maintaining a cold expression, and shouted at the driver:

I stand in the shadows, as if I have lost my direction, engulfed in confusion

As I passed through the hall, I saw Mother Xiao holding a pair of gleaming silver scissors, trimming the potted plant on the coffee table. Her delicate hands were slender, with rounded fingers, and the scissors were held gracefully, creating a strikingly beautiful scene

April Fool's Day

My life is in my own hands

I let out a cold laugh from the bottom of my heart: Xiao Bie, is it starting now? Then, I, Xiao Mi, will be fully prepared to face it, ready to confront any challenges that come my way.

I sneered, clenched my fist, and swung a punch.

The reflection of myself in the mirror, slightly parted lips, presents a look of being lost and disheartened

My face burned like fire, and I could hardly lift my eyes to look at him. ... From childhood to now, this is the first time I have discussed feelings with someone of the opposite sex, leaving me quite at a loss, yet deep down there is a hint of small anticipation ...

I furrowed my brow in deep contemplation

It turns out that everything was just a joke

However, after I woke up, I began to make every effort to avoid thinking about the past

"Mi, you don't look well, why don't you stop running?" He ran in front of me, seemingly a bit guilty

"Sleeping with the lights on will affect physical development." He frowned and turned off the wall lamp

Enough, no need to say more!" Xiao's mother became hysterical, "Xiao Bie, who am I working so hard for? Whose should everything here be?" Her voice was sharp as a knife, cutting through the silent night sky, sending chills down one's spine

Indeed, yesterday was April 1st

My face suddenly turned bright red, and I was not accustomed to his teasing

Although it is not my body, it is currently in my use. I cannot waste my youth and diminish the joys of life.

Xiao Bie stood quietly opposite me, her eyes glistening with tears, her brows slightly furrowed, silently gazing at me, her eyes filled with a feeling called compassion

Xiao Bie followed behind me, dressed in a pure white sports sweatshirt, which accentuated his picturesque features; however, his elegance no longer captured my attention.

I covered my mouth, trembling all over, and slid down against the wall

My face is becoming increasingly flushed

Of course, I am not Xiao Mi. I hold naive fantasies about men. As for me, I possess neither beauty nor talent, and regarding wealth, my family is on par with the Xiao family. However, his attentiveness towards me is merely because there are other aspects of me that he can exploit

I instinctively dodged and asked him strangely, "How did you know?"

The beauty is captivating
