Chapter 461 - Someone Is Helping Tu Xiupei (2/2)

After hearing what Feng Tianlan had said, Xi Jin had begun to suspect that Tu Xiupei was not who seemed to be. He quickly hurried back to his room without Shen Yunya. He wanted to ask her something.

As he pushed the door open, Tu Xiupei was dressed in fiery red. When she saw him, she was smiling happily, her expression bright like sunlight penetrating straight into his heart.

“Brother Jin. Do I look good in red?” Tu Xiupei was holding her red dress as she turned around and laughed happily.

Someone had told her that Dai’er’s real name was Shen Qingdai. That person even told her personal things about Dai’er—like her preferences and habits. One of the things that were mentioned was the fact that Shen Qingdai liked the color red, whether it came to a dress, shoes, hairband, or even a simple handkerchief.

“Nice. Dai’er, you look good no matter what you wear.” Seeing this as soon as he entered the room, Xi Jin felt as if he had been transported back to the time when he first saw Dai’er wearing red at the age of ten. Back then, she was also smiling brightly while asking him the same question.

The only difference was that Dai’er’s voice had been a child’s. And the words she had said were, “Brother Ying said it looks good as well. He likes me in red. He said I looked like a bride.”

Tu Xiupei let out another laugh and let go of her dress. “Actually, I didn’t like the color red at the beginning, but it slowly grew on me. Brother Jin, am I very fickle-minded?”

To be honest, she hated the color red because to her it was the color of blood. Besides, red was the color liked by that despicable Luo Yunzhu.

However, since Shen Qingdai liked it, she would wear red for Brother Jin.

“No, because this is just the way you used to be.” Xi Jin reached out his hands as though he wanted to touch her face. But his hands halted halfway. Her clothes were the correct kind, her smile was the same as well. She looked exactly like Dai’er, yet he felt like something was missing.

“Brother Jin?” Tu Xiupei hid the disappointment in her eyes and acted innocent and curious.

That person had told her that Shen Qingdai was very innocent. She had been a very harmless person with no ulterior motives or even a morsel of shrewdness.
