Lace—for some reason, the word "lace" flashed through Young Master Pei's mind, and then he felt a vague unease.

He is a doctor, and more than the average person, he understands each person's different sexual orientation.

Why did he instinctively feel disgusted when he saw Bai Lu and Jiang Enfang's close relationship?

Hmm, he really doesn't like this feeling.

At this moment, Bai Lu also saw him, and her reaction was similar to his. She was stunned for a moment, and then asked Jiang Enfang with a smile, "Fangfang, who is he?"

Young Master Pei rolled his eyes at Bai Lu in his mind a million times. Keep pretending, have you forgotten how you tormented me last time? Have you forgotten that you asked me out for dinner tonight?

Well, there's one thing I have to admire about Young Master Pei: he's always been someone who dares to face reality. Being tormented by Bai Lu is being tormented; there's no need to distort the facts for the sake of a man's pitiful inferiority complex.

Jiang Enfang was unaware of the relationship between Pei Hang and Bai Lu, and answered Bai Lu seriously, "Dear Lulu, let me remind you, and you'll be able to guess who is standing in front of you. Back when you were in high school, didn't you have a pen pal?"

Bai Lu remained silent, which can be seen as a tacit agreement.

Jiang Enfang raised her finger and pointed at Pei Hang, "Look, he's your pen pal."

Bai Lu remained silent, but unlike her calm reaction, Pei Hang jumped up and vehemently denied it, saying, "That's impossible!"

He's still alive today, and the only pen pal he had in his youthful ignorance was Jiang Enfang. When will he meet Bai Lu...?

No, Jiang Enfang couldn't be lying to him if she said it so confidently. Could it be that the pen pal he had back then wasn't Jiang Enfang, but actually Bai Lu?

What exactly happened?

Jiang Enfang looked at Pei Hang, then at Bai Lu, and said, "Pei Hang, after all these years, I finally have a chance to clarify myself. The pen pal you corresponded with back then was indeed not me. As for why it was me who met you later, it was because Bai Lu was studying abroad and couldn't come back, so she asked her good friend me to go in her place. Although I thought you were good-looking, I didn't do anything. After all, you're not my type. As for my relentless pursuit of you later, it was Lulu who asked me to test you, to see if you were tempted by beauty and whether you were a lecher."

Jiang Enfang finished speaking in one breath, took a short breath, and then continued, "There are two other things I'll mention as well. The idea that the vendors near the school gate would ambush you—actually, I didn't tell them to. It just so happened that the city management was inspecting the area that day, and since street vending isn't allowed near schools, the vendors hid around the school wall, which led to your misunderstanding. As for the claim that I kicked the principal for your sake, that's just a fabrication. I did kick the principal, but he's my father! I was in a bad mood that day, and he kept nagging me. I was going through a rebellious phase then, and I certainly didn't understand my parents' good intentions. I kicked my dad, and then someone saw it and spread it around, saying I beat up the principal for your sake! What nonsense! I only lightly kicked my dad, but people exaggerated it into that whole thing."

Upon hearing this, Pei Hang felt as if his head had been repeatedly banged against a door before he finally learned the truth of what happened back then.

“Pei Hang.” Jiang Enfang looked into his eyes and continued, “Don’t make such a fuss. I’m not joking with you. The pen pal you corresponded with back then was really my friend Bai Lu, not me.”

She assumed Pei Hang's shocked expression meant he didn't believe her, so she repeated herself.

Pei Hang swallowed hard. "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just..."

"You just think my friend is so pretty, right?" Before Pei could finish speaking, Jiang Enfang quickly interrupted, "Back then, if Lulu hadn't been abroad, and instead you two had met, I think you two would have very likely gotten together. Maybe you'd not only be married now, but also have a child."

Thinking of something, she tilted her head and looked Pei Hang up and down. "Hey, Pei Hang, I remember you're still single."

Pei Hang had never regretted being single so much. If only he had just grabbed anyone and married them.

He gave an awkward smirk. "I have a girlfriend."

Just as Jiang Enfang was about to express her regret, Bai Lu interjected unhurriedly, "What you should say is that I not only have girlfriends, but more than one."

Pei Hang felt even more embarrassed. He could only blame himself. Who told him to ask for a hookup without checking the almanac or his horoscope? As a result, he ended up hooking up with Bai Lu, who had a long-standing grudge against him.

The poem "White Dew Turns to Frost on the Other Side of the Water" is so beautiful, but when applied to the woman before me, it doesn't seem to evoke that kind of beauty at all.

He didn't bother to correct the fact that he didn't even have a girlfriend. Isn't there a popular saying these days? "You have to finish what you started, even if it hurts." It couldn't be more fitting for Pei Hang.

So be it, the night I was thoroughly ravaged and tormented by Bailu is over.

Jiang Enfang's attitude towards Pei Hang was completely different from when they were in school. She didn't understand Bai Lu's implied meaning and advised her, "Lulu, with your qualities, who cares how many girlfriends he has, beating them is just a matter of seconds."

Bai Lu chuckled dryly, "Enfang, you think too highly of me."

Jiang Enfang said earnestly, "Lulu, the fact is that you are very capable, and it has nothing to do with whether I look up to you or not."
