Chapter 336 – Your family’s plum blossom is lost again (13)
Because of Yan Luzheng, Mu Ci and Yan Luo had always been placed in the same class. Even though Mu Ci didn’t have great grades, it didn’t matter at all. The two of them were practically inseparable, carrying with them the restless energy of youth.
Many people speculated whether their year’s school beauty and school heartthrob were already together. After all, the way they treated each other was noticeably different from how they treated others. However, some believed otherwise. After all, they were childhood sweethearts, which naturally made their relationship unique. Whether they would actually become a couple was still up for debate, and many were skeptical.
But Yan Luo knew very well that while Mu Ci seemed to treat her exceptionally well, even making her feel special, there was always a sense of detachment in his eyes. She had never once felt his heartbeat quicken for her. No matter how good he was to her, no matter how good she was to him, he never truly took her to heart.
More importantly, the kinder she was to him, the higher his blackening value rose instead of decreasing. Eventually, it stopped at 75, completely baffling Yan Luo. She really couldn’t understand what was going on in his mind. The closer she got to him and the more she helped him, like tutoring him, the faster his blackening value increased.
After spending years trying to decipher this guy, Yan Luo finally gave up with a helpless laugh, deciding to just go with the flow and see what was really going on in his head.
By now, they were in their second year of high school, their studies getting increasingly demanding. Yan Luo pitifully finished the stack of homework she had brought home, only to look up and realize it was already close to eleven.
Pushing back her chair, she stood up.
At sixteen or seventeen years old, she had grown even more beautiful and delicate. Combined with her usual aloof demeanor, it gave her an almost ethereal quality.
Her long black hair cascaded down her back, and she wore a thin set of pajamas. She quietly pushed open the door and slipped downstairs to the kitchen.
Her face was soft and rosy, with a hint of baby fat that hadn’t completely faded. Her lips were pursed with quiet determination as she reached out her small, fair hand to open the fridge, scanning the contents with her large, bright eyes.
Finally, she pulled out a carton of milk, tore open the packaging, and started drinking.
The system Little Pink, which had long been harboring curiosity, finally couldn’t hold back and asked, [Dear Host, you never used to drink milk this much, did you? I don’t recall this being mentioned in this world’s setting…]
Yan Luo swallowed and nodded matter-of-factly. “That’s right.”
[Then why are you so obsessed with drinking milk every morning and night?]
Why? Yan Luo blinked and then answered with firm determination, “I want to grow taller! I want to counterattack! I want to make that Xiao Gege kneel on a keyboard and admit surrender to me!!”
How dare he refuse to lower his blackening value? How dare he keep bullying her all the time!
Little Pink: …
[No, you’re overthinking it. That’s never going to happen.]
But looking at its Host, who was still barely over 150 cm tall, and remembering how she insisted on exercising and drinking milk every day, Little Pink ultimately swallowed the mockery it was about to blurt out and instead said seriously, [Then, dear Host, good luck with your absolutely impossible goal! I believe in you!!]
Yan Luo : “Can you shut up?” (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Pouting slightly, the delicate and beautiful girl took another gulp of milk.
“Luoluo? What are you doing over there?”
The sudden voice from behind startled her, making her choke on her milk.
