Chapter 70 He Knows Me Best

The atmosphere was somewhat frozen, with only the boring commercials on TV still chattering.

Suddenly, a rerun of "My Other Half" appeared on the TV. The first scene that came to my mind was Shen Yixiao and I sunbathing on the beach. I was lying in the sun while Shen Yixiao was applying sunscreen on my back.

At that time, I had not been reborn yet, and I really thought that Shen Yixiao loved me as much as his life, so the happiness that emanated from me was from the heart, and everyone could see the deep love between us.

I quickly picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

Xu Zhengnan guessed what I was thinking. He turned on the TV again and just changed the channel. "I don't care. To me, you are just an old friend. So you don't have to be so nervous in front of me."

He used the calmest tone to say the words that hurt me the most.

My face felt hot. Aunt Yang hadn't come over yet, so I thought I'd just leave first and call her to let her know when I got back.

"Zhengnan, why are you back?" Aunt Yang came back at this time. When she saw Xu Zhengnan, she was very surprised. "Didn't you say you would be back very late? Have you eaten? Xiaoyue and I just finished eating. If you haven't eaten, I'll heat up some more dishes for you."

Xu Zhengnan shook his head, "Mom, I'm not hungry."

"That's great. Please take care of Xiaoyue for me. I'm going to take a shower. I'm sweating from cooking just now and I'm not feeling well." Aunt Yang replied with a smile, not caring at all about the awkwardness between Xu Zhengnan and me.

Before Xu Zhengnan could reply, Aunt Yang went to the bathroom, leaving Xu Zhengnan and I alone in the living room staring at each other.

He saw the bag of clothes on the sofa, "What is that?"

"Those are the clothes you lent me last time. I washed them and brought them to you." I quickly picked up the bag and handed it to him, "Thank you."

Xu Zhengnan looked at my outstretched hand and made no move to take the bag. Instead, he said mercilessly, "Just throw it away. It's just an old piece of clothing. I don't need it."

I was a little overwhelmed and felt like I was being rejected.

Since Xu Zhengnan doesn't want this clothes, I will put it back on the sofa. If he wants to throw it away, he can do it himself. There is no way I will take it back and throw it away again.

I took my bag and said goodbye to him politely, "Sorry for bothering me today. Please thank Aunt Yang for me. I'm going home now."

"My mom asked you to come over for dinner because of what happened between you and Shen Yixiao." Xu Zhengnan's voice held me back again. There was no ups and downs in the tone, but it was unusually oppressive. He stood up and lowered his head slightly to look at me. His eyes were stern. "Do you think your parents didn't see the news?"

My whole body trembled, and my heart was in pain.

Guilt and uneasiness filled my heart. I dared not imagine how my parents would feel when they saw the news. In order to be with Shen Yixiao, I was so determined and promised to cut off ties with them. I vowed that Shen Yixiao would definitely be successful and would treat me well.

As a result, Shen Yixiao was photographed hugging another woman.

"Those news are fake. Tell my parents so that they won't worry." I explained in a panic, hoping that Xu Zhengnan could explain it clearly when he contacted my parents.

"You explain it yourself, and I can give you their contact information." Xu Zhengnan rejected my request and gave me another method that I couldn't do at all.

Then he handed me the phone. The interface showed an address book with my parents' current contact information, but I didn't have the courage to take it and write down the numbers.

I still didn't have enough courage because I was too naive and rebellious at the time, and the things I said and did made me feel ashamed.

"Thank you, but my parents probably don't need me now, and I don't want to disturb them." I finally rejected Xu Zhengnan in a low voice.

Then I heard a sneer, which was obviously full of mockery and disdain.

When I looked up, I saw the obvious emotions in his eyes. Maybe my cowardice seemed ridiculous to him.

"If you are really living well, why don't you dare to meet your parents? Why don't you dare to explain those so-called fake news? Li Yue, you have been a terrible lier since you were a child, don't you know that?" Xu Zhengnan's aggressiveness stunned me. I looked at him blankly and couldn't recover for a moment.

Am I a bad liar? Is it easy to spot? Would I be the same in front of Shen Yixiao and easily be noticed?

At this point, these are the things I worry about first.

No, Shen Yixiao definitely doesn't know me as well as Xu Zhengnan. At this moment, I am very sure that Xu Zhengnan can easily see through every lie of mine.

As for Shen Yixiao…his heart no longer belongs to me, so he can no longer enter my heart.

"I have something else to do, I have to go back first!" I didn't know what else to say. The more I said, the more mistakes I would make, and Xu Zhengnan would only see more flaws in me.

I left in a hurry, almost jogging. I was relieved that Xu Zhengnan would not chase me.

When I got outside, I found my car parked on the side of the road. As soon as I started the car, under the light of the headlights, a man and a woman walked over with a little boy. They were my parents and Li Qingming.

I quickly turned off the engine and lights, opened the palm-wide car window, and like a rat in a gutter, peeked at the happiness of their family of three.

Li Qingming was held by my parents' hands, jumping from time to time, like a little monkey hanging on a tree branch, laughing and talking about the movie we watched tonight, "Transformers are so good, they are so powerful, I want to be as powerful as them when I grow up, Mom and Dad, can you take me to see other movies next time?"

"Okay, but you're going to kindergarten soon, so you have to adapt to kindergarten life first." My father was unusually kind, which was quite different from the serious face I remembered.

"Mingming, walk carefully. You can't walk like this, or you will sprain your ankle!" My mother reminded Li Qingming to be careful.

The three of them passed by my car, and I held my breath, afraid that they would see me in the car, but I was reluctant to close the window because then I wouldn't be able to hear their voices.

Suddenly, Li Qingming screamed, and he actually twisted his foot.

While criticizing him, my father bent down and picked him up. I watched their receding figures through the gap, my eyes full of envy and guilt.

I drove away reluctantly until I could no longer see their figures in the rearview mirror. Thinking of Xu Zhengnan's words, I felt very stressed and began to worry about what would happen if Shen Yixiao also noticed that something was wrong with me.

Just after returning home, Liang Feng sent another message, this time it was a short video. In the video, Lu Xiaoyun was leaning on Shen Yixiao's shoulder.
