Han Guangye smiled wryly, raised his hand and gently patted Liu Ru's back, trying to calm her anger.
Liu Ru didn't appreciate it, gave a low snort, and turned her head away to show her displeasure.
Lin Qing gritted her teeth as she watched the two flirting in front of her, oblivious to everyone else. Suddenly, she took a few steps forward and was about to reach Liu Ru when Han Guangye instinctively raised his hand to protect Liu Ru's chest.
Han Guangye's defensive posture filled Lin Qing with bitterness. Slowly, she bent her knees and knelt down in front of Liu Ru. "Liu Ru, I admit defeat. I beg you, please give Guangye back to me."
Lin Qing lowered her posture to an extremely low level, as low as dust falling to the ground, leaving Liu Ru at a loss for what to do.
"What...what are you doing? Get up."
Liu Ru was spoiled, but she wasn't completely wicked. Seeing her former classmate kneeling like that filled her with unease.
"No, I beg you, give him back to me. I love him, I really can't live without him," Lin Qing pleaded softly, her eyes filled with tears and her whole body trembling.
Liu Ru pursed her lips, looked down at Lin Qing for a while, and finally said softly, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to that, and I can't live without Brother Guangye."
As soon as Liu Ru finished speaking, Lin Qing lowered her head and cried, her body swaying weakly, only her arm supporting her weight on the ground.
Looking at the two girls beside him, one standing and one kneeling, who had left an indelible mark on his heart, Han Guangye felt a turmoil in his mind. In the end, he sighed silently, released Liu Ru, and bent down to help Lin Qing up.
In this kind of weather, kneeling for a long time can easily lead to health problems. Han Guangye knew this in his heart. Even though he had made up his mind to spend his life with Liu Ru, he still couldn't bear to see Lin Qing get hurt.
Liu Ru watched Han Guangye's actions, her heart burning with anxiety. It was the same old story. Whenever he was with Lin Qing, he was like a drug, completely oblivious to her. At the same time, she suddenly felt confused. Did she really want to spend her whole life trying to warm the heart of such a man?
Just then, a clear baritone voice came from afar, "Miss Liu, young master, over here."
Upon hearing the sound, Liu Ru glanced at the location, gave Han Guangye a cold look, and turned to leave in her leather boots. Han Guangye, not wanting to leave her alone, abandoned his earlier actions and chased after Liu Ru.
Hearing the clattering footsteps beside her, Lin Qing's face hardened. In an instant, she pushed off with both feet and used the strength of her arms to pounce forward like an arrow, knocking Liu Ru to the ground. Of course, her focus was on Liu Ru's abdomen. Wasn't that why Han Guangye valued Liu Ru? Now that she had taken care of him, Han Guangye would still be hers.
Liu Ru collapsed to the ground, clutching her abdomen and screaming in pain. In that instant, her face turned as white as paper.
Han Guangye, who caught up later, was stunned and stood there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shi Lan rolled her eyes, stepped forward and pushed Lin Qing aside, used all her strength to get Liu Ru into the car, and then yelled at him, "Hurry up and take her to the hospital!"
Han Guangye then came to his senses, stepped into the car, and as soon as he closed the door, the car sped away.
Watching the car drive away, Shi Lan turned her head and found that Lin Qing, who had just been sitting on the ground, had disappeared.
A black RV pulled up beside her across the street after the farce ended. "Shi Lan."
Shi Lan frowned. Once you heard that cold voice, you couldn't forget it. So she squinted at the rolled-down car window and said with a smile, "Lei Sheng, it's you."
Lei Sheng's eyes sparkled, and his rosy lips curved into a rounded smile. "The weather's not good today, shall I take you home?"
Shi Lan shook her head, tightened her collar, and said, "No need, my home is very close, so I won't trouble you."
Lei Sheng's bright, star-like eyes dimmed.
Shi Lan turned to leave, but Lei Sheng quickly leaned out the window and shouted, "Shi Lan, I'm going back to the capital tomorrow. I just wanted to wish you a Happy New Year!"
Shi Lan blinked her snow-blurred eyes and turned to look at him. This was only the second time they had met, so it was rather strange that he had come all this way just to tell her this. However, she appreciated his kindness.
"I know, and I wish you a Happy New Year too!" Shi Lan waved and walked away slowly, her feet sinking into the thin snow on the ground.
Lei Sheng stared intently at the figure gradually disappearing into the darkness, his lips slowly tightening. After a while, he rolled up the car window, and the car quickly merged into the traffic.
During the three-day New Year's Day holiday, Shi Lan lived a very regular life. Every morning she would wake up to the sound of her alarm clock, have breakfast, start practicing her magic techniques, and then drift off to sleep in the warmth. When she woke up again, it was basically dark. After dinner, she would continue practicing. This cycle repeated itself, and the three days seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.
After returning to school, the biggest news circulating among the students was that the school heartthrob Han Guangye had transferred schools and was said to have been sent abroad by his family. Liu Ru seemed to be sick, but no one knew the specifics. Shi Lan was very calm when she heard this. At that time, she felt that Liu Ru was not doing well and guessed that the child who came due to the accident had not been saved.
The reason Han Guangye went abroad was probably because the Liu family canceled the marriage alliance between the two families due to Liu Ru's miscarriage. The Han family sacrificed a pawn to save the king, effectively exiling Han Guangye. This was done to appease the Liu family's anger and comfort Liu Ru's wounded heart, and also to test Han Guangye. If he lived up to expectations, the Han family would not completely abandon him in the future.
As for Lin Qing, Shi Lan heard about her at a high school reunion after graduating from university. At that time, Lin Qing had already graduated from the top university in the capital with great fanfare. She heard that Liu Ru's health had not been very good since the incident. The Liu family sued Lin Qing for intentional injury. Lin Qing's parents sold their property to try to smooth things over for her, but it was no use. Lin Qing was imprisoned and went insane within two years. She is now locked up in a mental hospital.
Shi Lan asked her classmate for the address and chose a clear, sunny day to visit her. The doctor led her to the door of a house tightly surrounded by a wire mesh about the thickness of a thumb. Pointing to Lin Qing, who was inside muttering to herself with her head tilted back, he said, "Don't get too close. Sometimes she goes crazy and hurts people."
Shi Lan nodded with a smile. After the doctor left, she quietly watched Lin Qing inside, who was muttering crazy things like, "I am a transmigrator, I am the female lead here... Han Guangye is mine, Hong Qing is mine, you are all mine..." She shook her head, completely unable to understand Lin Qing's incomprehensible thoughts.
However, judging from Lin Qing's current obsession, she is indeed the culprit who killed the original owner. It's just that the original owner was too confused to realize it at the time. Now history is repeating itself, but this time she has provoked someone she can't afford to offend. She has only herself to blame for this outcome and has no one else to blame but herself.
