Chapter 147: Sharing One Fate
Jiang Xue accompanied Liu Cheng back to her dormitory. She was still confused. "Chengcheng, what happened to you? Shen Xi was the one who hit you. Why did you say that you fell?"
Liu Cheng was very upset. Still, she could not reveal Guan Lei’s identity. She had not given up yet. She believed that she could gain Guan Lei’s favour and, in doing so, have him stand up for her.
Guan Lei was someone who protected his own. Liu Cheng was sure he would protect her as long as she was under his banner. No one would dare bully her, just as Guan Lei had stood up for Shen Xi today.
"I don’t want to put Guan Lei in a difficult position. Since he said I did, there’s nothing more I can do but admit to it." The more Liu Cheng spoke, the more aggrieved she became.
Jiang Xue eyed Liu Cheng in annoyance. "But as you can see, Guan Lei is only protecting Shen Xi right now. He won’t appreciate it even if you think of him like this! Why do you have to put yourself in a difficult position? You’re only hurting yourself like this!"
Liu Cheng bowed her head, wiping the tears staining her cheeks. "I know, but I believe that one day, Guan Lei will see how good I am and come to like me."
Jiang Xue used to think that Liu Cheng was fairly unintelligent. Now, not only was she dumb but also lovesick.
Just then, Jiang Xue received a video call from Su Ni through her phone, which she answered impatiently.
