Chapter 184 Love Rival
Chapter 184 Love Rival
Shen You listened to this absurd story in silence.
Bai Li, she remembered this name.
This princess was naughty by nature, but she protected the people of the city with her own life at the last moment. When she died, there was not a single spot on her body that was damaged. She was an admirable woman.
But she is not Bai Li.
Shen You stood up, and just as the wind blew, all the flowers on the tree fell.
She straightened her back, speaking frankly and naturally: "Bai Li is a princess worthy of respect, but Shen You is just Shen You. In your eyes, I am not even a fraction as good as her. But in my eyes, I will always be unique, and I love myself."
"You can get close to me because I look and behave like her, but I will never be her, no matter how similar I am. You call me sister and think of me as her, which is also disrespectful to her."
"Wu Shang, you are not letting yourself go by doing this."
Wushang didn't dare to look up at Shen You.
They are so similar that even the words they speak are extremely similar.
I remember that year, Bai Li was seventeen years old. She was lying on the osmanthus tree, her legs swinging, reading the storybook very comfortably, and commenting and cursing from time to time.
"Men are really strange. They either want to forget the past and start over, or live alone with the memories until the end of their lives. But he wants both. He wants deep affection and companionship, so he found someone who looks similar. He says he misses his deceased wife, but in fact, it's disgusting."
"Xiao Wushang, you must never do such things in the future, otherwise I will beat you up, understand?"
At that time, Bai Li was still a carefree princess, and he was also still a little child loved by his elder sister.
He didn't understand Bai Li's words, but he kept them in mind.
He has no romantic feelings for Bai Li, but he does have a mother-child mentality. However, his obsession is probably no less than the former.
Now, he finally understood what Bai Li said that day.
After Shen You finished speaking, he turned around and left.
This guy is pitiful. He suffered such a disaster at such a young age. I hope he can let it go from now on.
"Miss Su, please respect yourself."
Shen You stopped and heard Qi Ji's voice coming from not far away.
Shen You was right at the corner of the wall, blocked by bamboo, so people on the opposite side wouldn't notice her.
"Host, is your lover cheating on you?" Caozi, who often lies dead, suddenly appears.
This system is always broken, and Shen You almost forgot the existence of this little thing.
Shen You leaned against the wall and explained, "Don't talk nonsense. He, he is not my sweetheart. Besides, how can he cheat on me?"
Although he said this, Shen You still stuck his head out. Who is it?
Su Rudong wore a goose yellow short-sleeved shirt today, which made her look particularly cute.
"You and I are both from aristocratic families. You are talented, and I am also talented. As for appearance, my Su family is well-known, so there is no need to say more. You and I are such a perfect match, why can't we be together?" Although Su Rudong was "pursuing" Qi Ji, she did not seem humble. On the contrary, she put herself in an extremely arrogant position.
She felt that since she had chosen Qi Ji, she had to maintain a high profile in their relationship so that the man would cherish her and not abandon her after getting what he wanted.
Unfortunately, Qi Ji didn't buy it. He pursed his thin lips into a line, his eyes suppressing unspeakable anger and disgust.
"Miss Su, please respect yourself. Ah Ning and I are senior brothers and sisters. Logically, I should call you aunt." At the end, Qi Ji added, "If I remember correctly, you are older than me."
Su Rudong is not a cowardly woman, and she will not give up what she wants to pursue just because of a few words from others.
She did not get angry, but took the round fan and gently fanned her chest twice, and said with a smile: "Do you want to become the real legitimate son of the Qi family?"
Su Rudong approached Qi Ji, her voice revealing temptation: "Be with me, the Su family will be your support, you can become the true heir of the Qi family, and do things that you dared to think about but didn't dare to do before."
Caozi: Oh, host, your sweetheart is about to be taken away by her.
Shen You curled her lips, thinking what did it have to do with her, but she couldn't help but look at the two of them. Seeing Qi Ji and Su Rudong standing so close to each other, she felt a little unhappy.
But she couldn't say why she was unhappy.
Qi Ji's eyes were filled with coldness, and he said, "If I were to sell myself out for the sake of the Qi family, then Miss Su would be underestimating me."
As they spoke, Qi Ji had already kept an arm's length away from Su Rudong.
"Miss Su, please save this trick for others. I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
Su Rudong held a round fan across his chest and asked, "Are you so determined because of her?"
Qi Ji paused, then continued walking forward without answering Su Rudong's question.
Su Rudong continued: "Give up, she won't be with someone like you."
Qi Ji didn't stop, but his hands clenched unconsciously. Will she... accept her true self?
She realized that someone was following her and thought it was someone sent by Su Rudong. She pressed the person's hand against the wall and controlled her with a ferocious look in her eyes.
However, the face in front of him was not that of a ferocious monster. Instead, his eyes were a pair of clear black and white, showing neither fear nor anger, but pure and clear.
When Qi Ji saw that it was Shen You, he immediately let go of her hand, shocked and self-blaming, and asked softly: "Youzi, are you okay? Did I hurt you?"
Shen You looked at her red and swollen wrist and thought: When did Qi Ji become so strong?
Seeing Shen You silent, Qi Ji thought she was angry and his heart sank to the bottom.
"Yuzu, I..."
Shen You smiled warmly at Qi Ji: "It's okay, it's a good thing that you are so vigilant, I don't have to worry about you being followed by others in the future."
Shen You's smile was sweet and warm, like the feeling of tasting osmanthus cake dipped in honey and hiding under the spring flowers in April.
"But it hurts a bit, can you give me some medicine?"
Shen You did not hide her injury. Qi Ji was careful and could easily find the injury. Instead of hiding it and making him worry, it would be better to show it openly and give him a chance to make up for it.
Qi Ji looked at Shen You's wrist, which was as white as jade, and the redness and swelling were very obvious.
"Yuzi, let's go find An Ning." Qi Ji lowered his eyes. Yuzi... still trusts An Ning more.
Shen You refused, "A Ning and Xiao Bai are having a sweet time together, how can we disturb them?"
"Qi Ji? Senior Brother?" Shen You stood on tiptoe and asked jokingly, "Brother Qi Ji? Can you help me apply the medicine?"
The three names of Shen You were like iron nails that pierced his heart over and over again.
Since Shen You said so, Qi Ji couldn't refuse. He took out the ointment he carried with him, applied some with his fingertips, and gently and softly rubbed it on Shen You's red and swollen wrist.
