Chapter 288 : A Rose Wedding 14 (2/2)

“If it’s because of what happened that night, you don’t have to apologise. I don’t blame you.” The problem was with her, how could she blame him? After all, it had been for her sake that he…

She looked away. “I want to rest. You should head back to your room.”

“You…” Xi Yin’s mouth opened but he probably didn’t know how to express his thoughts. After a brief struggle, he reached out to unbutton his shirt.

“What are you doing?” Shi Sheng held his hand still, her tone a bit displeased.

Xi Yin’s face was slightly flushed and his speech was a little more broken up than usual. “If this… can make you feel better… I… Since we’ve already… Anyway I can only have one partner for life…”

‘Even if she dies, I won’t have a new partner.’

Shi Sheng gave him an odd look. ‘Is he planning on making me feel better with sex?’

“Then do you like me?”

Xi Yin pursed his lips and didn’t speak.

Seeing her unhappy made him unhappy too. This…was probably what liking someone was? Ever since the day that inexplicable familiarity appeared, he felt like getting closer to her. But…

Shi Sheng took her hand back. “Let’s talk about this after you actually like me.”

Xi Yin lifted his head to look at her, his fingers still clutching onto a button. Shi Sheng sighed as she approached him to help him button his shirt back up. She then stood on her tiptoes to plant a kiss on his face. “It’s been my own problem these past few days. I just need some time to get over it. I like you and want to have you, but I won’t dishonour you for any reason. The last time…nothing happened between us.”

Xi Yin was surprised.

“Go back to bed.” Shi Sheng’s lips tugged into a smile.

Xi Yin lowered his head. Because of the matter where he’d thought she’d used despicable means to obtain him, he’d always felt disgusted. Yet now she was telling him that nothing had happened between them.

He suddenly felt a bit disappointed. As to what he was disappointed about, he didn’t know either.

Xi Yin disappeared once more.

Shi Sheng only discovered this the next morning.

She couldn’t find him at home or at school. And since Xi Yin didn’t have a phone, Shi Sheng had no way of contacting him.

She felt a headache coming on. ‘So this guy’s the type that disappears at every disagreement? Oh come the fuck on. Just what kind of weirdos do I(bbb) keep getting involved with?’

……

Shi Sheng was already not in a good mood. Xi Yin’s disappearance only served to worsen it. And to top things off, she was intercepted at school.

The person blocking her way was none other than the FL.

It was probably because she hadn’t been showing herself recently, causing Plot-sama to be dissatisfied. After all, as a supporting female villain, not causing trouble for the leads was unacceptable.

“Mi Nai, you did it, didn’t you?”

Ai Wei’s question came from nowhere, befuddling Shi Sheng.

‘What’d I(bbb) do? FL-sama, don’t unreasonably stir up trouble, okay?’

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Got nothing to say, eh?” Ai Wei spoke with a righteous expression.

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘I(bbb) don’t even know what the hell you’re talking about, what do you want me(bbb) to say? That I’m(bbb) pretty as a flower?’

Shi Sheng couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the FL and circled around her to head into the building. ‘Reason? With the FL? Quit joking! Everyone knows only the FL’s logic is right. No matter how much you say, it’s about as effective as a bloody fart.’

“Mi Nai, stop right there!” Ai Wei once again extended her arm to block Shi Sheng’s path.

‘Hey! The FL-sama’s gotten gutsier! Didn’t she use to run off whenever she saw me? Does she have someone backing her now? Probably planning on setting me up…

Ah how treacherous the human heart can be. Please! I’m still a baby!

…I should just ignore her.’

Shi Sheng speedily left. Ai Wei’s body was that of a normal human’s, so she naturally was unable to keep up.

Shi Sheng was afraid she wouldn’t be able to keep her violent tendencies under control if she got into an argument with the FL.
