“Is that girl in the drawing, your crush, Senior Mubai?” Luo Zheng asked calmly, sounding a little sarcastic.
She could guess that the girl he sketched was Mu Nianqing.
She knew Xi Mubai rather well and was aware that he did not quite like doing human portraits… Throughout the ten years that she was in love with him in her previous life, she wished that he would sketch a portrait of her.
Unfortunately, he had never agreed to it!
She was sure that Mu Nianqing was the only girl he would sketch.
Well, according to the chronological order of events, it was right for Xi Mubai to have known Mu Nianqing by now.
However, in their previous life, they got acquainted because Mu Nianqing rescued Xi Qianqian… In this lifetime, she did not meet Mu Nianqing and Xi Qianqian was rescued from the underground gambling den by the police!
It seemed that something different must have happened in between.
“It was just a casual sketch. It’s not a sketch of my crush!” Xi Mubai immediately denied while gazing at Luo Zheng, feeling a little flustered.
He was supposed to sketch Mu Nianqing and he had indeed sketched her face shape right… but whenever he tried to draw her features, he would be reminded of Luo Zheng!
Luo Zheng is my crush? What a joke!
“I was just asking a casual question, don’t take it to heart, Senior Mubai. However, I have to say that your sketches are so different from your personal style!”
Luo Zheng found the fact that he was Li Ge, the artist she used to admire, to be particularly ironic.
Even though Li Ge’s artworks could connect with her soul, she could no longer bring herself to pay attention to Li Ge, simply because he was Xi Mubai!
Xi Mubai did not understand what Luo Zheng meant, but he could sense that there was something unusual about her tone. He could not help, but feel his heart sink.
Since when has Luo Zheng stopped admiring me and has instead begun to detest me!?!
Luo Zheng was preoccupied with Bo Hancheng and hence turned around to leave immediately.
“The dark sky is drooping … The bright stars follow … The fireflies fly, fireflies fly… Who are you missing …”
At this moment, Xi Mubai’s mobile phone rang and Luo Zheng found it to be familiar.
Luo Zheng immediately stopped in her tracks and looked up at Xi Mubai, keeping her eyes fixed on his mobile phone.
“The stars in the sky shed tears … The roses on the ground have withered … The cold wind blows… As long as you’re with me… ”
The nursery rhyme was continuously playing and Luo Zheng’s eyes lit up, seemingly having been reminded of some memory. She remained silent for a long time.
Xi Mubai initially wanted to answer the call, but he noticed that there was something unusual about Luo Zheng’s gaze.
Seeing that it was Mu Nianqing who had called, he was suddenly reminded of the person who saved his life in Pine Mountain one or two years ago, Luo Luo.
He didn’t answer the call immediately.
It was as if something was bugging him.
For a long period of time, Luo Zheng stared at Xi Mubai until his mobile phone stopped ringing.
“This ringtone… ”
“What about it?”
Xi Mubai asked eagerly as soon as she spoke.
Resentment grew within Luo Zheng’s heart as her memories flooded her mind.
Her expression slowly became sullen and she blinked while smiling. “Nothing much, I just didn’t expect your ringtone to be so childish, Senior Mubai!”
Xi Mubai listened and felt that Luo Zheng’s answer was not what he wanted to hear. Hence, he somehow felt disappointed.
“Luo Zheng, even if my ringtone sounds childish to you, do you have… anything else to say?”
He asked solemnly.
“Anything else to say? Senior Mubai, I don’t get what you mean.”
Luo Zheng was filled with bewilderment.
As soon as he finished speaking, she turned around and continued, “I still have something on. I think you’d better return the call lest the caller gets anxious!”
Luo Zheng then scurried away like a butterfly that had spread its wings to leave.
Xi Mubai tried to sound her out. “Luo Luo!?!”
“Is that girl in the drawing, your crush, Senior Mubai?” Luo Zheng asked calmly, sounding a little sarcastic.
