Chapter 1503: Which Side to Stand On After All
Time passed unknown, when Li Shi slowly woke up, only to realize she was in an unfamiliar environment, an instant fear creeping in. She wondered if anything had happened to her during the time she was unconscious.
Li Shi checked herself to find her clothes intact and her body without discomfort, which eased her tension.
Beside her, Lin Xi said indifferently, "Don’t worry, you’re unharmed and haven’t suffered any loss."
"Are you Lin Xi?" Li Shi asked, confused. She remembered being surrounded by countless enemies before she fainted. How come after waking up, only Lin Xi was with her?
Li Shi’s immediate concern was about Gu Fan’s whereabouts, so she inquired from Lin Xi.
Lin Xi snorted, "True to being Gu Fan’s high school classmate, such profound friendship between you two. No wonder Gu Fan risked everything to save you."
Detecting the hint of jealousy in Lin Xi’s words, Li Shi hurriedly explained, "Not at all, it’s purely platonic friendship. Gu Fan used to copy homework off me, and he still owes me the ten yuan he promised. I’m just concerned about that ten yuan."
Just listening made Lin Xi imagine Gu Fan and Li Shi playfully bickering and laughing during their high school days, and she felt a surge of jealousy again.
Seeing that Lin Xi was bothered by that period of camaraderie, Li Shi just smiled slightly, "Come on, don’t overthink it. Don’t you understand Gu Fan by now? Or are you saying you lack confidence in your own charm and judgment?"
"Of course not," Lin Xi immediately responded with confidence, and then gave Li Shi a glance. Truth be told, the two women were quite similar in appearance and physique. When it came to their relationship, Lin Xi was even more confident, given all that she and Gu Fan had been through together.
But Lin Xi was aware that Li Shi remained a regret in Gu Fan’s heart, much like Jian Shen was a regret from Lin Xi’s previous life. Because of this regret, Li Shi always had a place in Gu Fan’s heart.
