Chapter 26: The Greatest Tragedy of Her Life

When Su Bai was little, he quite liked this adorable younger sister of his.

It was only one day that he suddenly realized the little girl was rather terrifying.

Su Bai still remembered that year. Su Xuan had been only seven years old.

During the day, the little girl had happily rescued a bird.

That night, however, he happened to catch her viciously strangling the bird to death.

The next day, she even sobbed and held a funeral for the bird with the rest of the family.

……

Su Xuan lowered her head aggrievedly.

“Second Uncle told me to come find you. He couldn’t find you.”

Su Bai pulled up his father’s WeChat and discovered that his father, whom he had blocked, had indeed sent two messages.

But that clearly couldn’t be considered a valid reason for Su Xuan to come looking for him.

His father wasn’t so stupid that he didn’t even know how to make a phone call.

When Su Bai raised his head again, he saw Su Xuan gazing affectionately at Lin Cheng.

“Brother Lin, you’re here too! What a coincidence!”

Before Lin Cheng could respond, Su Bai let out a mocking laugh, his tone not the least bit polite.

“Su Xuan, are you taking me for an idiot, or are you the idiot? Next time, please don’t use such a brain-dead excuse.

“And I believe I’ve already told you that when we’re outside, don’t casually appear in front of me.”

The final sentence was spoken softly, but it carried a hint of chill.

Hearing this, Su Xuan was no longer merely aggrieved. She bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes turning red as crystalline tears gathered at their corners.

She truly looked pitiful.

Any ordinary man who saw her like this would feel at least a little heartache.

Unfortunately, neither of the two men in front of her was ordinary.

“Brother, it’s not like that. I just…”

“If that’s not the case, then you can leave. And, young lady, have some self-respect.”

“Yes… Brother, I—I’m leaving. Second Uncle is looking for you. Remember to call him back…”

Su Xuan choked back sobs as she reminded Su Bai. By the end, her voice was already filled with tears.

Yet Lin Cheng did not spare her a single glance from beginning to end.

In the end, she burst into tears, covered her mouth, and turned to run away.

Seeing Su Xuan leave, Su Bai shook his head.

“Nineteen, fortunately, you don’t like my sister. Otherwise, she’d give you no end of headaches.”

Lin Cheng’s absent gaze finally regained a trace of focus.

“What did you say?”

Su Bai stared at Lin Cheng for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.

“I said, Su Xuan liking you is the greatest tragedy of her life.”

………

Damn you, Su Bai! Have I ever treated you badly? Fine, you don’t have to help your own sister, but why do you keep getting in my way?!

After running ten meters, Su Xuan casually wiped away her tears, as though nothing had happened.

Her expression, however, was exceptionally gloomy.

She had seen it clearly just now.

The name above the chat box on Lin Cheng’s phone was Ling Xiaoli!

Why?

Why had he added even a woman casually introduced by that idiot Feng Weiyuan, yet after all these years, he had never added any of her contact information?

Why?!

“Ling Xiaoli…”

Su Xuan rolled the name around her lips and teeth.

Suddenly, she smiled.

………

Accompanied by energetic music, Ling Xiaoli danced inside her room until she was drenched in sweat. The ample heating made her want to open the window.

Only after finishing a routine did Ling Xiaoli finally stop for a moment. She took a gulp of water and picked up her phone, discovering a new message.

Huh? The male lead added me?

He only added me after two days. Did Feng Weiyuan say something to him? Tsk!

However, apart from accepting her friend request, the big shot hadn’t said a word.

Fine, then. If the big shot isn’t speaking, I don’t dare say anything either. Being able to quietly lie in the big shot’s contacts is already more than satisfying enough.

She switched to another dance video.

Let’s continue!

Unfortunately, about ten minutes later, a phone call suddenly interrupted her practice.

It was Keke.

“Xiaoli, Xiaoli! Have you checked Weibo? You’re trending again! What happened? Who did you offend?”
