Chapter 149: Apocalypse, I Am Not the Holy Mother 55
When Lin Shuangshuang saw Meng Tao, she didn’t feel anything special, but Meng Tao was clearly taken aback upon seeing Lin Shuangshuang, as he hadn’t expected her to also come to the Capital Base.
Meng Tao looked at Lin Shuangshuang, unsure of how to react. After all, their last parting was quite awkward, and Meng Tao harbored a vague resentment because Lin Shuangshuang had left him at school, causing him to suffer until his father’s people came to fetch him. Ever since, Meng Tao had harbored a bit of resentment towards Lin Shuangshuang.
After being brought back to the Capital Base by his father’s people, Meng Tao once thought that Lin Shuangshuang had been so inconsiderate before, refusing to follow his instructions. He figured she was likely still struggling on the road. If Lin Shuangshuang had listened to him back then, they would have already arrived at the Capital Base together, and there would be no need to struggle outside. Whenever he thought of this, Meng Tao felt a dark satisfaction.
But Meng Tao never expected that the Lin Shuangshuang, who he thought was still struggling to survive outside, would appear on the streets of the Capital Base, neatly dressed and looking relaxed, completely beyond his expectation.
Lin Shuangshuang was unaware of Meng Tao’s thoughts. If she had known, she would have sneered, as in her previous life, she had protected Meng Tao for so long, but when he left, he still abandoned her.
Facing Meng Tao now, Lin Shuangshuang’s heart was calm. She didn’t even glance at Meng Tao but walked past him calmly with her parents.
Yet Meng Tao, seeing Lin Shuangshuang’s calm demeanor, felt a surge of inexplicable anger amidst his embarrassment. Her demeanor reminded him of when they were at school — he had said so much, but Lin Shuangshuang had walked away directly, ignoring him, causing him to lose face and be laughed at by classmates for a long time.
As Lin Shuangshuang was about to leave his sight, Meng Tao wasn’t entirely sure what he was thinking but took the initiative to greet her, "Lin Shuangshuang, after being classmates for so long, how can you be so indifferent?" Even Meng Tao was startled by the strong resentment in his tone.
Lin Shuangshuang only looked confused, as she recalled that she and Meng Tao weren’t particularly close. In her previous life, although she had had a crush on him and couldn’t help but pay attention to him, she never approached him. Only after the world changed did she have brief contact with Meng Tao, and in this life, she had left school right after being reborn, without any real interaction with him. Yet Meng Tao’s tone suggested they were very familiar with each other.
Lin Shuangshuang’s bewildered expression further stung Meng Tao’s pride. Not wanting to hear anything from her that would embarrass him, he let out a cold snort. Without waiting for Lin Shuangshuang’s response, he turned and left with two supposedly close friends who had been pretending to be part of the background after seeing Lin Shuangshuang.
