Chapter 380: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (63)

His warm breath brushed against her ear as he spoke softly, “When we were little, I hated how people always clung to you, Luoluo. In elementary school, there was a boy who liked to poke your back. I went and told a little lie to your teacher. I was really nervous, but I was so happy because he believed me and planned to transfer that boy out.”

His tone was so gentle that Shen Mubai vaguely recalled something like that happening, and she suddenly felt a wave of unease.

An Ziyu continued speaking with a mild smile on his face, “In middle school, Luoluo grew prettier and prettier, and you received so many love letters. Sometimes, I would see the way they looked at you and wish I could gouge out all their eyes…”

“Later, I realized that this was love. I liked Luoluo so much, more than I could ever imagine.”

“After that robbery, I secretly went to learn Taekwondo. Even when my body was bruised and swollen, I never cried out in pain. Because whenever I thought about how you were always standing in front of me, Luoluo, I didn’t feel any pain.”

“The first time I had a wet dream, I dreamed of you, Luoluo. During that time, I couldn’t even look you in the eye; I avoided you and didn’t dare to touch you. I was afraid of losing control and unleashing the beast inside me. That side of me was so unfamiliar, and I was scared it would frighten you, Luoluo.”

With every sentence he spoke, Shen Mubai felt her scalp tingle.

Although his voice was gentle, it sent chills down her spine.

An Ziyu whispered, “Luoluo, are you afraid of me?”

Shen Mubai remained silent.

An Ziyu tightened his arms around her, lowering his voice next to her ear, “Don’t be afraid of me.”

Shen Mubai couldn’t tell if it was the result of that incident that caused such a drastic change in his personality.

This version of the young male lead both frightened and pained her—she wanted to resist but couldn’t bear to.

In a quiet voice, she said, “Ziyu, can we just be like we used to be?”

An Ziyu’s gaze darkened as he chuckled softly, “No.”

Shen Mubai asked, “Can’t we just be family?”

An Ziyu whispered, “Luoluo, it’s okay if you don’t like me. As long as you stay by my side…”

Shen Mubai realized there was no way to convince him anymore.

She was exhausted, so she simply stopped trying to say anything.

Her silence prompted An Ziyu to speak again, “Be good, Luoluo, and don’t think about leaving me.”

He smiled, his voice unnervingly gentle.

“Otherwise, I’ll have to lock you up.”

Shen Mubai:”…..”

Someone, please save her!

But no one could save her.

From that day on, the young male lead’s possessiveness only grew stronger.

Shen Mubai was nearly traumatized.

She would be on edge just talking to a boy, fearing that he might appear out of nowhere, smiling at her.

One day, after returning from the restroom, she saw that familiar figure from afar.

Instinctively, she wanted to hide, but then she noticed a girl walking towards him.

Shen Mubai cautiously sneaked closer.

The girl looked very familiar, and Shen Mubai racked her brain trying to remember. She thought it might be the current school beauty, Yin Qianxia.

The girl handed An Ziyu a love letter, her smile sweet and her tall, slender figure enough to captivate any boy.

Shen Mubai’s thoughts began to drift. She wondered if the young male lead had interacted with too few girls and if their long history together was the reason he was so fixated on her…

“Luoluo.” A voice interrupted her thoughts.
