Quick Transmigration: Rescuing the Blackened Male Lead - Chapter 371
Chapter 371: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (54)
However, to Shen Mubai’s disappointment, everything and everyone around her seemed completely normal. On the contrary, it was her own behavior that appeared strange in the eyes of others.
As the end of the semester approached, Shen Mubai’s attention was diverted, leaving her with no extra time for observation.
Until the winter break was near, that pervert never appeared again, allowing her to finally relax.
During the New Year, the young male lead often came to her house for meals. When Shen Mubai was too lazy to do her homework, she would secretly hand it to him to help her.
Although An Ziyu was helpless about this, he accepted it all.
Xiao Qingxue’s belly was now noticeably showing, but she still occasionally moved around and made some things in the kitchen.
She held some small pastries and said to Shen Mubai, “Luoluo, I forgot to tell Ziyu earlier, so can you take these to him?”
Shen Mubai nodded in agreement, “Okay.”
Carrying the box of pastries, Shen Mubai was just about to knock on the door when she noticed it was slightly ajar.
Blaming the young male lead for being careless, she pushed the door open and went inside.
“Ziyu,” she called out, but there was no response.
Shen Mubai placed the box on the coffee table in the living room, glanced around, and hesitated for a moment before heading towards the bedroom.
Come to think of it, since the start of the third year of middle school, she had rarely been to the young male lead’s house. Each time she came, she couldn’t help but feel that he seemed reluctant to let her into his bedroom, although she wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination.
She knew that as he grew older, he would have his own private space, but Shen Mubai couldn’t suppress her curiosity.
She nervously told herself in her mind that she would take one quick look and then leave immediately.
As she carefully walked towards the bedroom, her heart pounded faster. She subconsciously swallowed as her hand was about to reach the doorknob when a voice called from behind, “Luoluo?”
Shen Mubai guiltily turned around, forcing a laugh, “I… I was just checking if you were in your bedroom.”
An Ziyu seemed to have just come out of the bathroom, with beads of water still in his hair. His clear eyes looked at the girl, a subtle and unreadable smile playing on his lips.
“Is there something you need?”
Shen Mubai awkwardly replied, “My mom asked me to bring you some pastries; they’re on the table. I have something else to do, so I’ll head back now.”
With that, as if something was chasing her, she quickly ran out.
A soft chuckle sounded, and An Ziyu’s smile deepened, but his eyes held a chillingly intense possessiveness and obsession.
It wasn’t until Shen Mubai got home that she realized how foolish she was. If she had just pretended to be calm, maybe the whole situation would have passed. But now, with her guilty conscience, she had only made herself look more suspicious.
Fortunately, the young male lead seemed to act as if nothing had happened. Shen Mubai reminded herself not to let her curiosity get the better of her again. Who knows, there might be things in his room he doesn’t want her to see.
Still, thinking about it left her feeling a bit melancholic. The once crybaby, spoiled young male lead had really grown up.
The entire winter break passed quickly, and soon it was time for the new semester to begin.
As soon as she entered the classroom, she heard the girls discussing Valentine’s Day, which was two days away. Shen Mubai stuffed her backpack under the desk.
Xu Lin greeted her, “Jiang Luoluo, how was your winter break?”
Shen Mubai replied, “It was okay.”
Xu Lin said, “Valentine’s Day is coming up. Do you have any plans?”
