Chapter 387: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (70)

Shen Mubai was almost lost in the deep, sea-like gaze of An Ziyu.

However, she quickly snapped back to reality and, looking at the young male lead in front of her, tentatively asked, “What if I never come to like you?”

An Ziyu smiled slightly, “It’s okay, as long as Luoluo doesn’t leave my side.”

Shen Mubai broke into a cold sweat, “What if I like another guy? Would you let me go?”

His expression darkened for a moment, and the atmosphere around him became quite intimidating.

An Ziyu looked at the girl with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes and said, “I would become a murderer.”

He then softened his gaze and smiled warmly, “Would Luoluo fall for another guy?”

Shen Mubai wiped her cold sweat and forced a laugh, “Hehe, just kidding.”

Inside, she felt a deep sadness.

The young male lead’s obsession was incurable, and there was nothing she could do but silently pray for his 18th birthday to arrive.

During the first semester of senior year, students aiming for their dream universities began to study hard, but a small number still lived lazily.

They seemed unconcerned and preoccupied with romantic matters.

Shen Mubai rested her chin on her hand, casually flipping through the textbook.

She heard Xu Lin gossiping, “Hey, Jiang Luoluo, you must know that school grass An has a girlfriend, right? Tell me who it is—this girl must have saved the galaxy in her past life!”

Shen Mubai quickly looked over, “Girlfriend?”

Xu Lin noticed her genuine curiosity and nodded, “Yeah, everyone’s been talking about it lately.”

Shen Mubai quickly asked for more details.

Xu Lin thought for a moment and said, “It seems it was from the last time. Didn’t school grass An always wear that blue wristband? Someone joked that it might be a gift from his girlfriend, and he actually admitted it!”

Shen Mubai broke into a cold sweat, feeling guilty as she said, “Really?”

Xu Lin nodded, “Yeah. Do you know who the girl is?”

Shen Mubai pretended to be calm, “I don’t know either.”

Xu Lin looked disappointed, “If you don’t know, then no one does. It’s a shame—who’s the lucky girl?”

Shen Mubai sighed with relief internally, secretly feeling grateful.

But her relief was short-lived.

The next day, everyone knew that the person who gave An Ziyu the blue wristband was her.

Shen Mubai walked through the hallways, feeling bewildered as people pointed and whispered.

When she reached the classroom, Xu Lin came over and said, “Jiang Luoluo, you’re so disloyal! How could you hide this from me for so long and deceive my feelings!”

Shen Mubai was stunned, “What did I deceive you about?”

Xu Lin huffed, “Everyone already knows that school grass An’s girlfriend is you.”

Shen Mubai’s mind buzzed, and her first reaction was to refute.

Xu Lin gave her a disdainful look, “Don’t argue. School grass An himself admitted it. What’s the point of hiding it? I think it’s great—let those girls be jealous. Anyway, school grass An only likes you.”

Shen Mubai was confused and felt a surge of frustration.

She instinctively felt that the young male lead was doing this deliberately to force her into further compromise.

So after school, she ignored him no matter how he tried to talk to her.

An Ziyu grabbed the girl’s hand and said softly, “I didn’t say anything about that.”
