“Miss Zheng, are you searching for your boyfriend? I saw him heading toward that direction earlier on!” A villager noticed that she was looking for Fan Yu and hurriedly pointed a direction to her.
When Zheng Yan heard this, she lifted her head and stared ahead.
That place was pitch-dark without a single torch in sight. What could Fan Yu be doing there?
Zheng Yan walked forward stealthily…
In a dark corner of the public square.
After the fashion show ended, everyone was submerged in the partying and they seemed to have forgotten about the unhappy event that had happened a day before the fashion show.
Nian Xiaomu had dominated everyone with her charm; all of the villagers had chosen to believe that she truly wanted to protect the tie-dye art and that she was also willing to promote the art together with them.
However, everyone seemed to have forgotten that the traitor who had tried to ruin the fashion show had not been found yet!
Fu Xi turned around and left after passing her dress to her companion.
Everyone thought that she must have already left the village. However, that wasn’t the case.
She had merely hidden herself in a dark corner. Filled with guilt, regret, and envy, she watched as the merry singing and dancing continued on the public square…
The moment she remembered that she had nearly ruined such a grand event, her heart felt immense pain, as if it had been ripped open by someone.
However, she was even more afraid that Mo Kun would come to know that she was the one who had backed out at the last minute and helped Nian Xiaomu to gain the trusts of the villagers. If that was the case, something bad would happen to her elder brother…
She nearly suffocated from the complex emotions which had swarmed up to her heart at one go.
Just like an injured porcupine, she curled herself into a ball and sobbed silently.
All of sudden, she heard footsteps behind her and she was so shocked that her face turned pale. She could not even be bothered to turn around, as she stood up and got ready to run away.
“Do you need napkins?” The gentle voice sounded like a gust of light wind.
Fu Xi paused in her steps and turned her head back.
A young man wearing a white suit stood a few steps away from her.
He was good looking, with an exceptional aura.
There were even napkins on his hands, and he was shifting them toward her.
Fu Xi stared at him blankly.
“My name is Fan Yu, Nian Xiaomu’s friend. Don’t worry, I am not here to capture you. If you don’t trust me, I can leave right now.” As Fan Yu opened his thin lips and spoke, he strolled forward gradually.
He placed the napkins into her hand.
“You must be Fu Xi, right? And Fu Jin is your brother?”
“…”
Fu Xi snapped back to her senses and cast a vigilant glance at him. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but chose to remain silent in the end.
Her eyes looked dull and downcast.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs she lowered her head slightly, she muttered in a very soft voice, “Sorry…”
As the three simple words left her mouth, the tears of guilt that belonged to a girl landed on the ground as well.
Fan Yu knew that she was not apologizing to him.
In her heart, the thing that she was most guilty of should be the tie-dye art which she loved.
As well as her betrayal to Nian Xiaomu.
“You should not say this word to me.” As Fan Yu removed his coat, he spread it out on the ground and sat down calmly.
“There is a question which I really want to ask you.”
“What?”
Perhaps Fan Yu was too gentle, or perhaps, he was simply born with a power that could charm others into letting down their guard.
Just a smile from him was enough to gain the trust of others.
Fan Yu asked, “What are your future plans? Your brother has made a mistake and he must pay a price for his actions. Did you really think that Mo Kun would let him off if you continued to listen to his orders?”
“…” Fu Xi’s gaze darkened.
She doesn’t know. Her brother is her only family left, and she merely did not want him to die.
“I can help you, but you must listen to what I say. Are you willing to do it?”
