Li Wangshu actually disliked Ji Lian very much, just like she disliked everyone in the Ji family. But now, the mushroom field of this female ghost had grown bigger and bigger, reaching a level that could no longer be ignored.
“You’ve already died once. How can you still feel sad for them?” Li Wangshu truly couldn’t understand.
“I used to think that as long as I could feel love, even just a little bit, it would be enough… But compared to the love He Yu gave me before, their love is really too little. Suddenly, I’m no longer satisfied with it. Sob…”
That birthday banquet seemed to have dragged Ji Lian back into her past nightmare. Although Li Wangshu did not suffer any loss in the end, the Ji family’s favoritism had still hurt her once again.
“Ji Chenxing and Jiang Fengmian… They clearly saw everything, but they still hid it for her… Sob…”
Ji Lian cried so miserably that even Li Wangshu, who wanted to get angry, found herself unable to say anything harsh.
“Ji Chenxing is one thing, but that Jiang Fengmian… I thought he wasn’t included in our agreement.” Li Wangshu originally thought that after dying once, this girl would have completely given up on him. She never expected Ji Lian would still cry over him.
“I used to like him.” Ji Lian sniffled. “In my previous life, I almost stole him away from Ji Mo… If it wasn’t because I owed He Yu, my wish would definitely have been for you to marry him…”
A vein popped out on Li Wangshu’s forehead.
At this moment, she didn’t want to curse anymore. She wanted to hit someone.
“Am I remembering wrong? Wasn’t it him who killed you?”
“That was an accident. He thought I was going to do something to Ji Mo, so he pushed me down the stairs.” Ji Lian sighed. “I was really angry at first, but when I thought about it carefully, he didn’t do it on purpose.”
You really shouldn’t think about it carefully. You’re hopelessly blinded by love.
Li Wangshu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
“You said you two almost ended up together in your previous life. What happened?”
“It was…” Ji Lian looked a little guilty. She glanced at Li Wangshu, then honestly confessed. “Actually, the drug that night with He Yu… I originally put it in Jiang Fengmian’s drink. But for some reason, He Yu ended up taking it.”
“So you were the one who drugged him?!”
Ji Lian lowered her head.
This group of lawless people really deserved to die.
Li Wangshu felt a headache coming on, but she also couldn’t help feeling a little relieved. Fortunately, Ji Lian still knew that she owed He Yu and wanted to repay him. Otherwise, if she really wanted Li Wangshu to pursue Jiang Fengmian, she would rather just abandon the mission.
As for why it was He Yu, Li Wangshu could barely tolerate it.
Probably because she really liked his face.
“Are you going back to the Ji family?” Ji Lian asked carefully. “If you don’t go back soon, they might really give up on you.”
Ji Lian wasn’t wrong.
Li Wangshu had to admit that she had overestimated her position in their hearts.
Based on what happened today, if someone had to take the blame and become the villain, it would definitely be her.
“Even if I go back, I can’t return like this.” Li Wangshu narrowed her eyes. “I need to carefully plan my strategy.”
When the weekend arrived, Li Wangshu really did ask He Yu out.
However, He Yu seemed to have a lot of opinions about the date location she chose.
“An aquarium? Aren’t you already an adult?” He Yu looked at the cotton candy stuffed into his hand as if he were looking at an idiot.
“Only little kids come here to play.”
“I never came here when I was young. I’ve always wanted to see it.” Li Wangshu didn’t care whether he liked it or not and directly dragged him inside.
After walking around for a while, the girl wanted to feed turtles and seals. However, she was too timid to do it herself, so the dignified CEO He Yu ended up squatting by the pool in his suit, feeding turtles.
When feeding the seals, he even got splashed with water.
The heartless little girl beside him laughed loudly.
Li Wangshu kept looking for good angles and taking pictures.
“Click, click.”
He Yu thought these photos would become his dark history.
“If you dare to post them…”
“I wouldn’t bear to let others see them. I’ll keep them privately.”
After feeding the turtles, Li Wangshu dragged him to see the beluga whales, eat 3D-printed ice cream, and watch the mermaid performance.
Whether CEO He Yu was happy or not, no one knew.
But she was extremely happy.
It felt like all the wishes she had failed to achieve in her two lifetimes had finally come true today.
He Yu felt like he must have gone crazy.
He had actually spent an entire day wasting time with her.
What was even more outrageous was that after returning to the city from the aquarium, the girl simply said goodbye and ran away.
She didn’t even have dinner with him.
While he was silently sulking, his phone suddenly received a flood of messages.
They were photos from today—pictures of the two of them together from various angles.
In the photos, Li Wangshu had all kinds of expressions: playful, funny, mischievous. Every picture showed her bright smile.
As for him, although he looked annoyed because he was forced into the photos, his expression didn’t seem as unpleasant as usual.
“Out of 10 points, how many points would CEO He give today’s date?”
Looking at the question, He Yu thought:
She really likes me too much. She’s afraid I won’t like her, isn’t she?
After thinking for a moment, he replied:
“5.”
Originally, he wanted to give 0 points.
But wasn’t he afraid of hurting her enthusiasm?
“Stupid man. He’s obviously satisfied inside.”
Li Wangshu wasn’t worried at all.
Whether He Yu was satisfied or not, Ji Lian knew best.
She hadn’t grown any mushrooms the entire day. Instead, she had stayed in a warm and happy state the whole time.
The bloodstains on her qipao had even faded a little.
“Why did he fall for you so easily?” Ji Lian really couldn’t understand. “You two haven’t even met that many times.”
“It was love at first sight.” Li Wangshu was extremely confident. “I’m so outstanding, so beautiful, and my personality is great. It’s completely normal for him to like me.”
Ji Lian: “…”
…
On the other side.
He Yu asked his assistant:
“If a young girl says she wants to pursue you, then takes you to an aquarium for a date, what does that mean?”
“That’s pure romance, CEO He. It means the girl truly likes you. However, dating this kind of girl can be troublesome. Once you break up, she’ll probably be devastated.”
“Is that so?”
He Yu actually agreed with this quite a lot.
Has she really fallen for me this deeply already?
While he was thinking about it, he received a call.
Lin Baicheng invited him out for drinks.
In an instant, CEO He switched back into the adult world.
…
Tonight was roommate Liang Hui’s birthday.
Everyone made plans to meet at a KTV.
Li Wangshu had run around all day and didn’t want to move anymore, so she handed over the gift, said a bunch of nice things, and successfully avoided going out by staying in the dorm.
However, just after 9 p.m., she received a call saying several girls had drunk too much and needed someone to pick them up.
While complaining that today’s male students were unreliable and wouldn’t even send their classmates home, Li Wangshu had no choice but to get up, change clothes, and go pick them up.
…
Inside the KTV.
“Are we really doing this? Isn’t this a little wrong?”
Although Liang Hui and the others had drunk some alcohol, they were far from drunk.
Lin You felt that this lie was too dishonest.
“Oh, come on. We’re doing this for our sister’s happiness, right?” Liang Hui said. “The campus heartthrob is confessing tonight. How can we not call her here?”
Liang Hui also hadn’t expected that the reason Zhang Shuhuai, the school’s most popular guy, came to her birthday party was because he wanted to confess to Li Wangshu.
Luckily, she already had a boyfriend.
Otherwise, if she had misunderstood that the school heartthrob liked her, she and Li Wangshu might have ended up fighting.
“But Li Wangshu said she already has a boyfriend.”
“What kind of boyfriend can compare with the school heartthrob? I’m telling you, Zhang Shuhuai’s family is extremely wealthy, and he’s handsome too. I believe he can win her over.”
“But I don’t think Li Wangshu is the kind of person who changes her heart easily…”
…
When Li Wangshu arrived at the KTV and entered the room, colorful surprise ribbons suddenly exploded in front of her, startling her.
Then a large bouquet of roses was handed toward her.
Zhang Shuhuai, whom she had met once before, stood there holding the flowers.
“Student Li Wangshu, I like you. Can you date me?”
Li Wangshu looked at Zhang Shuhuai’s youthful and handsome face.
She was silent for a moment.
Although a cute younger guy was very tempting, she didn’t dare to step on two boats.
After all, her target was extremely dangerous.
If He Yu found out, she was afraid she would be killed immediately.
So she could only politely refuse.
“Student Zhang, thank you for liking me. I’m really touched, and I’m also sorry, but I already have a boyfriend.”
“I know, but I don’t care. I hope you can give me a chance to pursue you. I want to compete with him fairly.”
Li Wangshu:
Is someone really volunteering to become the third person?
