The following morning, Ji Bai went downstairs dressed in a pure white down jacket.
Those two boxes of chocolates had already been discarded into the living room trash can by Ji Feifei, without even being opened.
Ji Feifei didn’t value the gifts Chen Zheyang gave her; she only enjoyed the feeling of being pursued by him and…the pleasure that came from seeing Ji Bai feeling jealous and heartbroken.
Apart from that, Chen Zheyang held no value to her.
Ji Bai faced the two discarded boxes of chocolates without any particular emotion.
The pain she had endured from Chen Zheyang’s actions in the previous life had been completely healed by Xie Sui in later years. In this life, Ji Bai faced the boy she once liked in her youth with a calm heart, even carrying a hint of hate.
Chen Zheyang’s self-proclaimed love and his determination to “sacrifice” for love disgusted Ji Bai.
**
The dinner party for the Ji and Chen families was scheduled to take place at the Grand Sea and Sky Restaurant.
The two sisters attended together with their parents.
The Chen family and the Ji family had a long-standing friendship. There were also intricate and intertwined business interests between the companies. Therefore, both families carefully maintain their friendship and often gather for meals together.
Chen Zheyang’s return from abroad served as an opportunity for another gathering between the two families.
Ji Feifei dressed lavishly for the occasion, wearing a pink winter skirt paired with a rabbit fur sleeveless jacket.1I believe it would look like something like this, just imagine that she’s wearing the sleeveless jacket – also I am not sure on whether she was wearing a short or long skirt I just put one long and one short hehehe. (Photos from JD, Aliexpress and taobao)
Her long hair, slightly curled at the ends, made her look like a princess stepping out of a fairy tale.
However, Chen Zheyang’s attention was drawn to the figure of Ji Bai beside her.
Ji Bai was only wearing a simple down jacket, her hair tied back in a ponytail and without any makeup. Her exquisite and fair skin was as pure and limpid as snow, enhancing her natural beauty. This clear and fresh appearance surpassed that of the meticulously dressed Ji Feifei by a hundredfold.
For some reason, Chen Zheyang felt that Ji Bai seemed to have changed. She was no longer the cowering and shy girl who would blush every time she saw him in the past.
She had become composed, calm, and even more confident. Occasionally, a faint and distant glance from her was enough to make Chen Zheyang feel…captivated. His heartbeat couldn’t help but quicken.
Compared to her, Ji Feifei, who had dressed herself up deliberately, seemed to carry a hint of flattery in her appearance.
Of course, Ji Bai had no idea that her indifferent attitude would create such a drastically different impression in Chen Zheyang’s mind.
But she did notice that Chen Zheyang had been watching her all along.
Perhaps this was what was often said online, “Since ancient times, deep love is not enough, only schemes can win people’s hearts.” In her previous life, Ji Bai liked Chen Zheyang but never caught his attention. Now, her indifferent attitude seemed to have piqued Chen Zheyang’s interest.
Ji Bai merely felt it was ridiculous beyond belief.
Chen Zheyang’s father was the principal of Dexin High School, Chen Zhenheng.
Since the children were all studying at Dexin High School, the conversation of the adults naturally revolved around the education of their children. They discussed topics ranging from education system reforms to the impact of family and social responsibilities.
At the right moment, Chen Zheyang took out a beautifully packaged box of candies from his bag and smiled faintly at the two sisters.
Ji Feifei originally thought that the box of candies was meant for her. She adjusted her skirt, preparing to stand up gracefully and receive it.
However, unexpectedly, Chen Zheyang turned to Ji Bai instead and said, ”Xiao Bai, what happened yesterday was my fault, and I was very impolite. Here, consider this box of candies as my apology, and it’s also a gift I brought back from the United States specifically for you.”
Ji Feifei’s expression changed.
He had already given Ji Bai chocolates, so why was he giving her candies now? Wasn’t this intentionally embarrassing her?!
The older sister only received one gift, while the younger sister got two…
Which one was more significant was clear at a glance.
Chen Zheyang was completely unaware that Ji Feifei had misunderstood the situation that way. The chocolates he had given to Ji Feifei were given privately, while the candies for Ji Bai were given publicly, which further demonstrated his intentions towards Ji Feifei.
He certainly didn’t expect that such actions would lead to a misunderstanding by Ji Feifei.
Ji Bai observed the unfolding drama like a bystander, watching the good play with indifference as one scene after another played out, and calmly said——
“Thank you for the candies, but I’m not really a fan of sweets. It would be a waste to give them to me. Why not give them to my older sister? She really likes candies.”
Chen Zheyang understood the situation well and didn’t insist. He turned to Ji Feifei and said, “In that case, let Fei Fei have it. I know she really likes candy.”
Ji Feifei was so furious that her lips turned purple. She blurted out without restraint, “Why should I get what she doesn’t want?! Treating me like a beggar!”
Upon hearing her words, the expressions of the adults present instantly darkened.
“Fei Fei! How can you say that!”
“Such lack of manners!”
Chen Zheyang was clearly caught off guard, never expecting Ji Feifei, who was usually gentle and soft to utter words with such bitterness. He was stupefied, saying, “I…I just thought you liked candies. I didn’t mean anything else. Please don’t be angry.”
“I……”
Ji Feifei had always played the role of a kindhearted and respectful daughter in front of the adults. Her sudden outburst caught everyone off guard. The parents from both families exchanged glances without saying a word.
Realizing she had lost her composure, she coughed softly, attempting to salvage the situation, “I’m just a bit tired, not in the best mood.”
Ji Bai excused herself and headed to the restroom.
Not long after, Chen Zheyang followed suit and also went out.
Ji Feifei had lost any desire to continue pretending, her face turned cold, making both sets of parents feel extremely awkward.
In the brightly lit hallway, Ji Bai turned on the faucet and let ice-cold water run over her hands. As she looked up, she saw the handsome face of Chen Zheyang in the mirror.
Chen Zheyang’s facial features were well-proportioned, exuding a sense of positivity throughout his entire being.
“Xiao Bai, about what happened yesterday, I wanted to apologize to you. I was very impolite. Are you still mad at me?”
Ji Bai shook her head. “No, there’s no need to apologize.”
She didn’t really care about him, so there was no anger to begin with. The current Chen Zheyang couldn’t stir any emotions in her anymore.
Ji Bai’s indifferent attitude made Chen Zheyang feel a sense of bitterness in his heart, which was particularly unpleasant.
It seemed like she had truly changed, no longer resembling the doormat, 2(Original Text): 唯唯诺诺 – wěi wěi nuò nuò. (English): to be a yes-man or doormat – a person who agrees with everything that someone says/do.weak and pitiful creature from the past.
The change in her attitude seemed to have altered her appearance as well. She became beautiful, the kind of beauty that came from within like a reserved bud blossoming overnight after a violent wind and storm, a beauty so exquisite that it couldn’t be concealed……
Chen Zheyang watched her figure as she left, stunned.
The two families came out of the Grand Sea and Sky Restaurant. The valet parked their cars by the side, opened the car doors, and respectfully ushered them in.
Just then, a few boys walked out of a Internet cafe called Flyover just across the street. They were laughing and smoking, making noise.
It was precisely Cong Yuzhou and his friends.
Xie Sui stood among the crowd, holding half of a cigarette between his slender fingers.
Cong Yuzhou nudged Xie Sui with his elbow. Xie Sui lifted his head and glanced across the street. The smile that had been lingering on his lips paused for two or three seconds before silently fading away.
His gaze locked onto Ji Bai who was in the crowd.
Her white down jacket wrapped around her fair neck with its white fur, her skin was so dewy it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it. She was walking beside the adults, appearing gentle and well-behaved.
Chen Zheyang, dressed in a suit, politely opened the car door for her like a gentleman.
The distant road seemed to separate two entirely different worlds.
Meanwhile, Xie Sui found himself immersed in the most filthy quagmire,3Meaning: Sunk into a quagmire – a situation or environment that is difficult or messy yet he couldn’t help but think of her beauty.
With one hand in his pocket, he tightly grasped the small white pendant hanging from his keychain until the sharp edges of the key cut into his palm, causing a sharp pain. He slowly released his grip, feeling as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.
Extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, the light in Xie Sui’s eyes also dimmed at that moment.
He turned and walked away without saying a word.
Principal Chen Zhenheng called out to Xie Sui a couple of times, but Xie Sui didn’t turn back. Instead, he disappeared into a dark alley.
Ji Mingzhi asked, “Who was that child ah?”
Chen Zhenheng looked at his retreating figure and calmly said, “Our school’s student.”
“Your school also has this kind of…” Ji Mingzhi carefully chose his words, “this kind of students?”
Chen Zhenheng smiled. “His father used to be a security guard at our school and you could say we’re half friends. Later, he committed a crime and was sentenced. I promised him that I would ensure that his child finishes high school.”
Ji Mingzhi was quite curious. “What could a security guard have done to get into trouble?”
“He killed someone.”
Ji Mingzhi felt a shiver run down his spine. “The son of a murderer! How…Oh my, how could your school admit students like this? He doesn’t seem like a good person at all. Fei Fei, Bai Bai, you two must stay away from people like him in the future! Do you understand?!”
Ji Feifei responded with an “ai” in regret and obediently promised. Ji Bai, on the other hand, sat in the car, silently looking out of the foggy window.
The young man’s cold and solemn figure gradually disappeared into the pitch-black and muddy alley.
**
In a noisy bar’s private room, Cong Yuzhou had brought several cases of beer to soothe their nerves after their narrow escape.
“Coming out of the internet cafe and bumping straight into Principal Chen, what kind of fucking luck is this?”
Jiang Zhongning sat on the couch, paralyzed and dispirited, said, “I bet when we go back to school on Monday that we’ll have to write a bunch of reflection papers again. Just thinking about it is annoying.”
Cong Yuzhou handed him the microphone, “Stop thinking about it. Let’s sing! I’ll call a few more brothers over to liven things up. Tonight, we’re not going home until we’re drunk!”
Jiang Zhongning took the microphone, selected Jay Chou’s song “Step Back”, and began to sing.
Xie Sui sat alone in a corner where the light didn’t reach, his bangs falling over his forehead, casting a shadow over his eyes.
With a beer bottle in his hand, he drank without stopping, not knowing how much he had drunk.
In his mind, flashes of his childhood memories played out, when he was pushed into muddy puddles and heard them shout, “He’s the son of a murderer! We don’t want to play with him!”
“I’m not!” he tried to defend himself. “I’m not the son of a murderer.”
“Yes, you are! Your dad killed someone, so you are too!”
“No, my dad didn’t kill anyone!”
……
As he grew older and got stronger, he could push those who bullied him into the mud and beat them until they screamed in pain.
But he no longer defended that man with a single word. He carried his own fate, enduring it all in silence.
That girl probably knew too, which explained why she didn’t even want to spare him a glance.
His father was a murderer, and he was a filthy piece of trash. How could he stand by her side?
Xie Sui took another swig of his drink, his mind began to wander and he fell into a muddleheaded state. The only sensation he felt was a sharp prickling pain in his chest whenever he thought of her.
Just then, a few more guys entered the private room and among them was someone who brought two girls along.
Cong Yuzhou said, “Xiao Qin, who are these two?”
“Our classmates, Fang Yuebai and Bei Xinyi. They’re both good students. It’s their first time going out to have fun. Treat them nicely.”
Jiang Zhongning nudged Cong Yuzhou and whispered, “This Fang Yuebai is a third year in our school, very smart. She’s always in the top ten of our grade.”
Cong Yuzhou wasn’t particularly concerned about whether the other party’s grades were good or not. He only noticed her innocent appearance with rosy lips and pretty white teeth, and her expression that bore some resemblance to Ji Bai.
Even their names shared a similarity, both having “Bai” in them.
Cong Yuzhou simply said, “Classmate Xiao Bai, why don’t you sit next to Brother Sui? He’s not in a good mood today, so help him drink less.”
Fang Yuebai appeared a bit shy, lifting her head to glance at the cold young man sitting on the opposite couch. Her cheeks suddenly turned red.
She hesitated for a moment, feeling embarrassed.
Cong Yuzhou’s words weren’t offensive. It was originally a gathering for the brothers to have fun, and no one forced these girls to join. Since they came voluntarily, it meant they had their own intentions.
Fang Yuebai stole several glances at Xie Sui before finally making up her mind. She walked over to him and sat down beside him, her whole face entirely red.
“Brother Sui, you’ve had too much to drink, ” she softly advised. “Don’t drink anymore, okay?”
Xie Sui then noticed the girl beside him. He raised his slightly intoxicated eyes and gave her a brief glance.
Her facial features bore some resemblance to Ji Bai, however, Xie Sui hadn’t reached the point of being too drunk to recognize people.
“Who are you?”
Fang Yuebai spoke softly, “My name is Fang Yuebai, my friends call me Xiao Bai.”
“小白…” “Xiao Bai…”
Xie Sui’s tongue pressed against his lower teeth as he enunciated these two words. A trace of tenderness unexpectedly surfaced in his cold eyes.
Fang Yuebai’s heart leaped with joy, thinking that Xie Sui had a favorable impression of her. She reached out to take the beer bottle from his hand, “You’re drunk.”
And as Xie Sui’s hand was freed, he suddenly caught hold of Fang Yuebai’s chin. He stared at her intently for a long time.
Fang Yuebai felt the rough texture of his fingertips, and her heart raced while her blood seemed to boil.
“I’m the son of a murderer. Aren’t you afraid of me?”
Thinking that Xie Sui was talking nonsense because he was drunk, Fang Yuebai with fear and trepidation, replied, “I…am not afraid.”
“You not being afraid means nothing.” Xie Sui abruptly changed the subject. He forcefully pushed her face away, and sneered, “You’re not her anyway.”
**
Late at night, Ji Bai tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Her stomach growled from hunger.
She decided to get up from bed and put on a loose, long down jacket over her pajamas. She was planning to go to the 24-hour convenience store at the entrance of the neighborhood to buy some oden.
The raindrops fell like stars in the night sky, bringing a slight chill as they landed on her face.
Ji Bai bought some nice and hot oden and stepped out of the convenience store. She warmed up her cold hands by blowing on them. Eagerly, she popped a hot beef ball into her mouth.
So hot, so hot!
She stood by the roadside, foolishly blowing out air……
There was a familiar figure in the alley across the street.
The young man disappeared into the darkness against the light, his silhouette vague and blurry.
The green traffic light turned on, and the tip of the young man’s cigarette was extinguished. He turned and left.
Holding the oden, Ji Bai quickened her pace, crossed the street and caught up with the young man.
“Xie Sui, what are you doing here?”
Xie Sui’s footsteps halted, his hand clenched into a fist, but he didn’t say anything.
How could he know that he had inexplicably walked here, driven mad by the urge to see her.
Even if he knew he couldn’t see her, if he could just be a little closer to her, his restless heart would find peace and tranquility.
Heaven knows, the moment he saw her coming out of the convenience store, his whole body was set on fire.
This was the only time in his life when Xie Sui felt that the heavens had been kind to him.
Glancing down at the nice and hot oden in her hands, Ji Bai asked, “Have you eaten? Are you hungry?”
Xie Sui remained silent.
After a few minutes of this deadlock, Ji Bai helplessly said, “Xie Sui, I’ll go back first then.”
She finished speaking and turned to leave, but to her surprise, Xie Sui suddenly stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and forcefully pressed her against the wall.
Caught off guard, Ji Bai found herself pressed against the rough wall. He held her tightly, his body close to hers, and his head leaned against the wall beside her ear. He said in a low voice, “I’ll become the person you like, okay?”
She caught a faint whiff of alcohol on the young man, mixed with the scent of menthol from cigarettes, it was his unique scent.
Feeling a bit panicked, Ji Bai said, “Xie Sui, you’re drunk. Let go of me.”
Xie Sui didn’t let go of her; instead, he pressed against her even tighter. His clothes were thin so Ji Bai could feel the warmth from his body.
His whole body felt as hot as a burning iron.
Ji Bai couldn’t break free from his hold at all, and she even found it difficult to breathe.
Xie Sui stared into her eyes, which were filled with fear, resembling a startled little animal.
“Xie Sui.” Her voice carried a hint of pleading.
Xie Sui, feeling both distressed and anxious, his thoughts in turmoil, whispered to her——
“Xiao Bai, don’t be afraid of me…I can’t bear to bully you.”
“Then you let go of me.”
Xie Sui didn’t release her. His fingertip gently brushed against the edge of her lips, pressing softly against her soft lower lip. His eyes were filled with a tangled mix of desire and restraint…
His hand covered her lips, and then he gently closed his eyes, pressing his lips against the back of his hand.
Ji Bai suddenly became wide-eyed, watching his deeply in love expression.
This was the first time she had felt the depth of the young man’s passionate and intense love.
His long and fine eyelashes trembled slightly…
Ji Bai caught a whiff of tobacco on his hand.
She pushed him away with all her strength. “Xie Sui, you’re drunk. You should head back early.”
Xie Sui looked at her sorry state, his once intense gaze gradually cooled down.
She picked up the scattered oden from the ground, tossed it into the trash can, and turned back to him, saying, “I don’t like people who drink too much, Xie Sui.”
“What do you like then?”
“I don’t know!”
After saying this in anger, Ji Bai walked back into the convenience store, only to find that the oden was already sold out.
She sighed and quietly complained about Xie Sui’s arrival, calling him a lunatic.
Xie Sui didn’t leave. He watched as she walked out of the convenience store empty-handed and calmly said, “Give me ten minutes.”
Before Ji Bai could respond, he quickly strode away.
Ji Bai didn’t understand what he was up to. It was already late at night, and she considered leaving several times, but she couldn’t bring herself to move her feet. For some reason, she really didn’t want to see the disappointment in the young man’s eyes.
That look would make her feel heartbroken.
Xie Sui truly didn’t break his promise. He said ten minutes, and he took exactly ten minutes to return from another convenience store that was a kilometer away. He brought back a box of steaming hot oden and handed it to Ji Bai.
Ji Bai looked at the bulging box and suspected that Xie Sui had cleared out all the oden in the store.
His chest was lightly rising and falling, he had obviously rushed back, and the color of his clothes were darker due to being wet from the raindrops.
Ji Bai was starving, and a box of oden was exactly what she needed to soothe her restless mood. She pursed her lips and said to him, “Thanks.”
As Ji Bai was about to cross the street, Xie Sui called out with a teasing tone, “Xiao Bai.”
She turned back warily and asked, “What’s up?”
“Just calling out to you, nothing else.”
His eyes softened, a glint shining in their depths.
Ji Bai shrugged, and coincidentally, the traffic light turned green. She jogged across the street and returned to her neighborhood.
Sitting at her desk, she scooped up a beef ball with a small spoon and took a bite. The juice in center of the beef ball splattered almost burning her lips. She hurriedly blew on it a few times.
At this moment, a message from Xie Sui came in, “Is it good?”
Didn’t all oden have the same taste, was it possible that he thought the one he bought would somehow be special?
Ji Bai didn’t bother to reply to him.
**
On the afternoon of Christmas, there were no classes at De Xin High School, but it wasn’t a holiday either. Students could freely celebrate and have fun with the festivities in the school, only they weren’t allowed to leave the school premises.
Although it wasn’t considered a holiday, afternoons without classes were exciting news for high school students.
The auditorium organized a screening of the movie “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and nearly half of the students were going to watch it.
After the lunch break, Chen Zheyang called Ji Bai aside and said, “I just got two tickets from a friend. How about we watch the movie together this afternoon?”
Ji Bai looked at his sincere smile and calmly asked, “What about my older sister? Isn’t she coming?”
Chen Zheyang’s smile stiffened slightly, and he looked at Ji Bai in disbelief. “Why would you think that?”
“Otherwise?”
In the previous life, Chen Zheyang initially invited Ji Feifei to watch the movie, but she refused. He then turned to invite Ji Bai, who was pleasantly surprised and happily accepted. However, just five minutes after the movie started, Ji Feifei suddenly changed her mind and messaged Chen Zheyang, saying she wanted to come watch the movie.
When Ji Bai arrived at the auditorium, dressed up and full of anticipation, she saw Ji Feifei and Chen Zheyang sitting together.
Ji Bai burst into tears on the spot.
Ji Feifei pretended to say to Chen Zheyang, “Why don’t you watch the movie with my younger sister instead? I’m the older sister, so I should give in to her.”
On the contrary, her words aroused Chen Zheyang’s protective instincts, and he kindly advised Ji Bai, “Bai Bai, your older sister is sick. You should be considerate of her.”
Ji Bai’s tearful expression attracted a lot of attention from students and she later became a subject of gossip, becoming the butt of jokes for quite some time.
……
Thinking about the events in her previous life, Ji Bai’s expression grew even colder.
She said to Chen Zheyang, “Don’t worry, Ji Feifei will go with you.”
“But, I-I didn’t invite your older sister ah.”
Ji Bai felt a bit astonished; he actually didn’t invite Ji Feifei.
Chen Zheyang grew a little flustered, his cheeks turning red. “I only invited you. If you’re not going…then I won’t go either.”
Ji Bai felt that something was off; this wasn’t going according to her script.
After some consideration, she decided to accept the ticket.
Chen Zheyang thought she accepted his invitation, and left perfectly satisfied.
Ji Bai sent a text message to Yin Xiaxia, asking her to bring a pretty envelope when she returns to the classroom, the kind used for writing love letters.
Five minutes later, Yin Xiaxia passed a pink envelope to Ji Bai’s desk.
The envelope was indeed filled with girlish charm, in a rosy pink color with fresh dark patterned lace around the edges, and carrying a faint fragrance.
Yin Xiaxia sat next to Ji Bai and curiously asked her, “Who is Xiao Bai Bai planning to write a love letter to?”
Ji Bai put the movie ticket into the envelope, carefully sealing it shut, and faintly smiled, “Ji Feifei.”
“Wow, you’ve got quite the taste.”
Ji Bai took out a pen from her pencil case, imitated Chen Zheyang’s handwriting, and wrote “To Ji Feifei” on the envelope. At the same time, she also signed Chen Zheyang’s name in the bottom right corner.
She handed the envelope to Yin Xiaxia. “Could you help me out, find a way to deliver this letter to Ji Feifei’s classroom and give it to her in front of the entire class. The more people that see it, the better.”
“Why would it be better if more people see it?”
“Just trust me on this. It has to be given in front of others; otherwise, it won’t have any effect.”
Ji Bai understood Ji Feifei too well. If Chen Zheyang had invited her privately, she probably wouldn’t be interested. But if presented in the form of a romantic love letter, given in front of the entire class, it would greatly satisfy her love for attention and vanity. She would cheerfully accept the movie ticket in that case.
Yin Xiaxia was puzzled, “Bai Bai, what are you trying to do? Why would you let go of such a good guy like Chen Zheyang?”
“Chen Zheyang, a good guy?” Ji Bai laughed, “What makes him a good guy?”
Clearly, he was a scumbag, plain and simple.
“No way.” Yin Xiaxia said in disbelief, “Bai Bai, what kind of eyes do you have ah? Chen Zheyang is genuinely a very good guy. He’s Principal Chen’s son, comes from a wealthy family, excels in his studies, and is handsome. Haven’t you always admired him?”
“Don’t judge everything just by their looks. Bad people aren’t necessarily all bad, and good people aren’t necessarily…truly kind to you.”
Yin Xiaxia unexpectedly giggled in a gossipy manner, “From what you’re saying…you don’t actually think that Xie Sui, who has been bullying you all this time, is better than Chen Zheyang, right?”
Ji Bai was slightly taken aback and almost without thinking, she blurted out——
“Chen Zheyang isn’t worthy of being compared to Xie Sui.”
