Chapter 355: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (38)

The boy was startled by his sullen expression, muttered something under his breath, and turned to leave.

Now, only Li Li remained in the restroom. He looked at his bloodshot face reflection in the mirror and splashed his face with cold water a few more times.

The water from the faucet gushed loudly, and footsteps approached from behind, getting closer.

At first, Li Li didn’t pay attention until the person walked up next to him, turned on the adjacent faucet, and slowly washed a pair of slender, fair hands. Reflected in the mirror was none other than An Ziyu’s face.

An Ziyu looked up and chuckled softly. “What a coincidence.”

Li Li was still immersed in the frustration of his loss, and his face showed it. Nevertheless, he said, “Congratulations.”

An Ziyu’s lips curved into a faint smile. “I imagine you’re not too happy about it, right?”

Li Li frowned deeply, sensing something was off, and turned to face him. “What do you mean by that?”

An Ziyu’s gaze remained fixed on the mirror. He replied unhurriedly, “A lot of people heard what you said before the race, including me.”

Hitting a sore spot, especially since An Ziyu had taken first place from him, made Li Li’s expression even uglier. “An Ziyu, I don’t think we have any grudges between us.”

An Ziyu feigned surprise. “Why would you say that?”

Li Li sneered. “I’m not an idiot.”

An Ziyu raised his eyelids, his glassy eyes showing no genuine warmth. “Since you’ve figured it out, I’ll be straightforward.” His smile turned colder. “Stay away from her.”

Li Li laughed angrily. “Hahaha, don’t you think what you’re saying is ridiculous, An Ziyu? Luoluo and you only have a childhood friendship. What right do you have to interfere in her personal life?” A mocking smile appeared on his lips. “Did you do it on purpose during the race?”

An Ziyu laughed softly. “You figured it out…”

An overwhelming sense of anger and humiliation filled Li Li’s eyes with red. He gritted his teeth. “Do you enjoy toying with people?”

An Ziyu smirked. “I just don’t like you.”

Li Li restrained the urge to throw a punch, took a deep breath, and said, “Hmph, does Luoluo know you’re two-faced? Does she know you pretended to be weak just to make her worry and wipe your sweat? She doesn’t, doesn’t she? An Ziyu, do you believe I won’t go tell her right now?”

An Ziyu looked up, staring directly into his eyes, and laughed softly. “Do you think she’ll believe you or me?”

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and the words caught in Li Li’s throat refused to come out.

A devilish chuckle echoed in his ears. “You see, even you already know the answer.”

Li Li held his breath.

Yes, he had no confidence!

But looking at the smiling face in front of him, the public’s male god with a devilish heart beneath, he couldn’t help but shiver.

He moved his lips slightly.

“Yes, I can’t compare to your years of friendship, but you can’t always be by Luoluo’s side.” He sneered.

“Does Luoluo know you like her? If she knew what kind of person you really are, she’d stay far away from you.”
