Chapter 237 Ex and Current
Chapter 237 Ex and Current
Xia Lan glanced at Lu He, who was still fast asleep in pain, and had no choice but to refrain from lashing out. Although her voice was soft, her tone was anything but polite: "She just took her medicine and needs to rest. Come with me and tell her not to disturb her..."
Shen Tong tacitly agreed to Xia Lan's suggestion and followed her into the study.
Shen Tong walked up to Xia Lan in a few steps, staring directly at her with a complex expression in her eyes: "I want to talk to you..."
Xia Lan didn't speak, she just looked at her.
Seeing this, Shen Tong continued, "Do you even know her? You've only known each other for a short time."
"You've known each other for a long time?" Xia Lan couldn't help but chuckle.
A hint of disdain flashed in Shen Tong's eyes, as if Xia Lan were the ignorant one: "I've been with her for four years..."
"Who are you with? Han Xi?" Xia Lan still didn't take it seriously.
“Of course not!” Shen Tong’s next words made Xia Lan’s expression change completely: “I know she’s not Han Xi, and I know you’re not Lin Yingxin… I’m just like you, I came here for her…”
"Who... are you?" Xia Lan was now 100% certain that Shen Tong was not a character in this story. He was either a time traveler or a protagonist from another story who had interacted with Lu He.
Shen Tong then generously extended his hand, continuing to provoke Xia Lan: "Shall we get to know each other again?"
"My name is Shen Yutong... Lu He's first love..."
These words struck Xia Lan like a bolt from the blue, leaving her mind blank for a moment.
What first love? I've never heard her mention it before.
"Judging from your expression, you probably don't know I exist," Shen Yutong said, waving his banner triumphantly like a victorious general. "I am the name she can never mention in her heart..."
She gently leaned close to Xia Lan's ear and whispered, "Do you know how important the white moonlight is? If she knew I came back to find her, would she still choose you so firmly?"
It has to be said that this series of questions left Xia Lan completely uncertain.
It wasn't that she lacked confidence in their relationship, but rather that she felt fear and helplessness about the unknown. This was the first time she had ever heard of Shen Yutong's existence.
A completely unfamiliar person, who is both her first love and her white moonlight, with such a double buff, how could she not be momentarily stunned?
Shen Yutong could tell that the other person was currently in a state of utter confusion, so she was even more determined to break down her mental defenses: "I've known her since college. We spent countless days and nights studying in the library, skipping classes together under the summer stars, sharing our feelings for each other..."
"We've gone through graduation, long-distance relationships, living together, and venturing out together."
"We walked the streets of different cities together, watched countless sunrises and sunsets together, and shared joys and sorrows. Every moment, every single one of these experiences is etched into our bones and will never be forgotten..."
Shen Yutong pressed closer and closer, trying to force Xia Lan to back down. In fact, she succeeded in closing in step by step, suppressing Xia Lan and forcing her to retreat. Finally, she pinned Xia Lan against the wall: "What do you have to compete with!"
Seeing that Xia Lan was speechless, Shen Yutong was filled with pleasure and did not forget to continue to provoke her: "Lu He doesn't know who I am yet. Do you dare to bet? Tell her who I am after she wakes up..."
Shen Yutong was betting that Xia Lan wouldn't dare to take the risk, because someone who loves someone so much and is afraid of losing them simply wouldn't dare to gamble.
When I first transmigrated here and received the information from the system, I was shocked to learn that Xia Lan was desperately trying to get closer to Lu He by risking her life. She was truly insane.
But loving something too much and being unable to afford to gamble on it is also its most fatal weakness.
As expected, Xia Lan did not answer, and even the initial confidence in her eyes was gone. She tried to avoid Shen Yutong's gaze.
Shen Yutong is different; her love for Lu He will never outweigh her love for herself.
She still loves Lu He, but also wants to get revenge on Lu He for tricking her last time. She doesn't really love him that much, but she's jealous of others who can receive love.
She knew that Lu He still hated her, so she couldn't tell her her identity. She had to find a way to make Lu He fall in love with her again before telling her and asking for her forgiveness. That would make things much easier.
But this approach cannot be used against Xia Lan; her confidence must be completely shattered.
A sinister smile crept across Shen Yutong's lips. This girl was still naive and young after all; she was easily fooled with just a few words. She was still easy to deal with.
She didn't take Xia Lan seriously at all, or even consider her a rival.
"I won't bully you," Shen Yutong said, seeing that the time was ripe and knowing Xia Lan would fall for his trap. "I won't tell her I'm Shen Yutong. I'll interact with her as Shen Tong and let you see if she can fall in love with me again."
"How about fair competition?"
Shen Yutong's abacus beads were practically popping out of his face, but Xia Lan couldn't see through it.
Faced with the other party's suggestion, Xia Lan nodded after a long silence: "Okay! I won't lose!"
So easily fooled, she fell for it already! Shen Yutong couldn't help but want to laugh at her.
Lin Zhao had been knocking on the door for ten minutes, but everyone had forgotten about her. Feeling wronged, the younger sister squatted down at the door and drew circles.
