Chapter 81 – I Know, I Know it All (1/2)

As for what happened next, Lin Xiao had no recollection of it.

He forgot his expression afterward, did he cry? Maybe not.

Did Shen DaiYing say something afterwards, was the engagement just a joke? Probably not.

Lin Xiao’s memory was forever frozen at that instance.

“Actually, I’m Caesar’s fiancée.”

“We’re getting married next year.”

That dull dialogue played repeatedly in his mind like a movie. What appeared before him was Shen DaiYing’s dim and helpless face.

If time rewound and it happened again, would the results be different?

No, it won’t.

The self-deceiving dream was finally over, but Lin Xiao still wasn’t willing to open his eyes and face reality.

“Lin Xiao, what’s wrong? Did something happen? Sigh, it’s not like I purposely hid the fact that Shen DaiYing and Caesar are engaged from you… Hey, are you listening? What did that bad woman say to you? Did she bully you? Hm… what? You want to request a leave of absence? Are you sick? Okay, seeing how out of it you are, I’ll help you ask teacher Woos, you better remember to thank me!”

Something was ringing next to his ears, it sounded like Rosie’s voice. Rosie was later scolded by Caesar, it seems he felt guilty and came over to take a look, but he didn’t expect to see a walking corpse.

The Miss’ gentleness was so special, it would be better if she was more frank.

Lin Xiao was almost moved to tears.

Really, they’re all such nice girls, be it Shen DaiYing or Rosie, Caesar really had luck with the ladies. He had such a dead set and cute girlfriend, and a beautiful and magnanimous princess fiancee. He’s the main protagonist, right? Lin Xiao was just a presumptuous loser!

That day, Lin Xiao even forgot how he got home, since his legs weren’t even listening to his commands anymore.

Oh right, it seems like Elena pulled his arm and forcibly brought him home.

Midway, Lin Xiao wasn’t obedient and said something like he wanted to go to a bar to get plastered, Elena lashed out at him and gave him two slaps to the face!

Laying on his bed and holding his swollen face, Lin Xiao finally remembered.

Oh right, it was Elena, she ruthlessly slapped him. Thanks to those two slaps, he didn’t become someone useless that got drunk at the bar until daybreak.

But… even without being numbed with alcohol, he was still useless.

The first time he ever liked anyone, it was love at first sight, first time he was so close to love, yet it was concluded with a comical ending.

“Ah… so sleepy… but I can’t fall asleep…”

After returning home, he completely let himself go, blanking out at the ceiling while lying on his bed like a corpse.

He didn’t want to do anything, he didn’t want to move either. At this moment, he felt that even breathing was extremely difficult. He might as well just pinch his nose and suffocate himself to death… Haha, just joking.

Even if he was ridiculing himself, he couldn’t laugh.

On this side, Lin Xiao was full of worries, on the other, Elena’s feelings were even more complicated.

When she heard Lin Xiao yell “I like you”, she was instantly petrified.

This human man can always give her various surprises, even if she racked her brain, she can’t think of why Lin Xiao would confess to Shen DaiYing.

Followed closely after, rejection, apology, confession, and finally Shen DaiYing dimly spoke of her engagement, a set of gorgeous successive strikes thoroughly shattered Lin Xiao’s delusions.

Seeing Lin Xiao so empty, Elena felt kind of refreshed and lucky.
