“So, what do you need me to do?”
Upon learning of the youth’s past, the girl no longer hesitated. “You want me to bring Feng Ge to meet you all…”
“Yes, because as long as you’re there, I believe he won’t refuse…” Qin Qingge nodded, smiling.
“He’s been throwing his tantrums for so many years—it’s time he came back. In a few more years, he’ll probably be a father himself…”
Saying this, she winked at the girl with a teasing look, making Lin Xinyuan’s face flush red, her body trembling slightly unconsciously.
“Mmm…”
Her heart was both shy and delighted…
“After all… my mom wants to see him too…” Qin Qingge stared at the porcelain cup, her captivating gaze growing distant again.
Hearing this, Lin Xinyuan was stunned. She wanted to say something but held back, ultimately not adding anything more.
With this conversation concluded, the girl had agreed to the request. As for the specific timing, she would be notified when the time came.
Qin Qingge only hoped that Lin Xinyuan would test the waters with Qin Nanfeng next…
Afterward, they sat together a bit longer before it was time to part ways.
But just before they separated, Qin Qingge asked with a smile, “Sister, are you really not going to be my model? You can wear pretty clothes~”
“No way… thank you…” Lin Xinyuan quickly shook her head.
Showing her face like that… better not…
Unless Qin Nanfeng wanted her to wear it, then maybe she’d consider.
“Ah, well, what a shame…” Qin Qingge sighed regretfully.
To be honest, she really did want Lin Xinyuan to model that new outfit.
The girl had a good figure, and more importantly, her temperament perfectly matched it.
But since Lin Xinyuan refused, she naturally wouldn’t force it.
Still… if her own brother asked, it might be possible…
Hmm… she did pursue perfection. She could give it a try.
It’s not urgent anyway.
Lin Xinyuan declined Qin Qingge’s offer to send her back to school. The coffee shop was so close to the school; she thought she wasn’t that fragile, okay!
In the afternoon, at dusk, the sky was filled with red clouds, dyeing the earth crimson.
Today, Lin Xinyuan didn’t plan to eat out. Although she wasn’t as strapped for cash as before, eating fast food every day was still a luxury for her.
As usual, she met someone at the South Cafeteria. She disliked the stares from passersby, but she had grown numb to them.
She didn’t react much anymore, just looking at her phone while walking to distract herself.
But soon, she ran into someone she didn’t want to see right now—Li Xue…
At that moment, Lin Xinyuan locked eyes with the girl across from her—fairly pretty, dressed very innocently—and her gaze was filled with complexity.
She didn’t say anything, simply lowered her head and moved far away from her, pretending nothing had happened.
Towards this person, she didn’t know what to say anymore, nor did she want to say anything…
As her first love, her feelings were hard to express, and she couldn’t bring herself to say harsh words.
At least, she hadn’t kept stringing her along—hmm, only for a little over a month…
But come to think of it… if it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t have used that Jade Bracelet to become a girl, wouldn’t have sought revenge on Qin Nanfeng, and ended up giving herself away like this.
Because of this, she harbored some resentment toward Li Xue, even though she couldn’t turn back since picking up the bracelet.
Yet at the same time, the girl was reluctant to give up her current identity, and she couldn’t abandon Qin Nanfeng.
From that perspective, she couldn’t help but feel a trace of gratitude toward Li Xue…
“Lin Xinyuan, can we talk for a bit?”
Lin Xinyuan had just passed by the girl when Li Xue, dressed in a JK uniform, suddenly spoke.
This was the first time Li Xue had seen Lin Xinyuan up close since she became a girl.
She studied the girl’s slender figure beneath the dress, the dazzlingly fair and shapely legs, and a well-hidden jealousy surged in her eyes.
Hearing this, Lin Xinyuan paused slightly, but only glanced at her before silently walking away.
“Lin Xinyuan, stop right there, you damn tranny!”
Seeing that the coward who used to kowtow to her now completely ignored her, Li Xue, used to being the center of attention, immediately flared up.
She quickly caught up and tried to grab the girl’s clothes, but Lin Xinyuan was fast and dodged, looking at her with confusion.
“You… are you… out of your mind?”
The girl’s soft, sweet voice was pleasant, but her words were far from polite.
In Lin Xinyuan’s eyes, there was nothing left to say between her and Li Xue, and the other should be avoiding her too.
After all, she didn’t owe this person anything. If anything, she was owed—
She wondered if this person would pay back the money she spent on her in the past? Even half would be a blessing.
So she wasn’t the one who should be looking for Li Xue. But this girl came to cause trouble and called her names like a shrew?
Many passersby noticed the commotion between them and looked over with curiosity.
Quite a few recognized Lin Xinyuan, and some even knew Li Xue by name.
But it wasn’t that Li Xue was famous; it was because she had been Qin Nanfeng’s girlfriend…
When the current and only acknowledged girlfriend clashed with the so-called ex-girlfriend, how could such a showdown not spark gossip?
No wonder those people were so interested—some even started recording videos.
Hearing the girl’s words, Li Xue was furious, but she wasn’t blind. She noticed the stares and didn’t dare to actually strike.
The fate of that certain college beauty was still fresh in her mind. No matter how pissed she was, she had to hold it in.
“Don’t get too cocky… you’ll end up like me sooner or later… Don’t you know what kind of person Qin Nanfeng is?”
Even if she couldn’t act, Li Xue still tried to undermine their relationship, planting seeds of doubt in the girl’s heart.
“Besides, do you think you, a freak…”
She cursed under her breath, lost in her anger, failing to notice the gasping students around her or the joy on Lin Xinyuan’s face as she continued.
But before she could finish her dirty rant, a lighthearted, clear male voice interrupted.
“You don’t need to worry about that. She’s different from you all.”
With the sound of steady footsteps, a man came into Li Xue’s view, heading toward Lin Xinyuan and directly taking her small hand.
Lin Xinyuan’s face was already flushed red, while the youth gazed at her with tender eyes, a picture of perfect peace.
Seeing this, anyone would call them a perfect match. But to Li Xue, it was glaringly painful.
She stared blankly at the hands of her ex-ex-boyfriend and her ex-boyfriend clasped together—the large hand with long, slender, slightly bony fingers enveloping the soft, fair, petite one.
Around them, pink bubbles seemed to float.
Seeing the girl like this, Qin Nanfeng didn’t pay her any mind. He just scoffed, then turned to the girl with a smile. “Let’s go.”
“Mm…”
The girl’s eyes were filled with deep affection as Qin Nanfeng led her away, growing farther apart.
She couldn’t help but take one last look at Li Xue’s increasingly twisted, pure-looking face.
Lin Xinyuan’s gesture was meaningless, but to Li Xue, it felt like a provocation. Watching the two figures, she couldn’t help but shout, “She used to be a man, don’t forget!”
But all she got in return was the pair not pausing even for a moment, along with the pointing and murmuring of the surrounding crowd…
Li Xue stood there speechless, involuntarily recalling her time with Lin Xinyuan.
Back then… that gentle boy had treated her so well.
But after learning that she had become a girl for some reason and hooked up with Qin Nanfeng, she felt jealousy and anger, even going so far as to anonymously post fabricated accusations against the girl…
How could this happen?
In the end, she left alone, as if drained of all strength, looking utterly defeated.
