Her memories of the previous life were flashing through her mind and Luo Zheng felt like she was an outsider who was trapped in it.
She particularly remembered the incident that took place that year.
In the beginning, she fell in love with Xi Mubai’s paintings and not him.
His paintings were full of the vicissitudes of life, sadness, loneliness, and melancholy. She could not help but be obsessed with it while feeling a strange pain in her heart.
At that time, she was still living in the lies fabricated by the Mu Family. Mu Tianwei had been trying to destroy her by spoiling her and pampering her.
Although she lived a carefree life, she would often feel empty from time to time, as if she were just a walking zombie that did not have a soul.
She felt her soul being touched when his painting appeared in front of her. She stared at the painter’s name, Li Ge, and kept it in her mind.
Later on, she tried her best to collect all of Li Ge’s paintings but unfortunately failed to do so. She only had one of them.
Firstly, it was because Li Ge was a renowned painter and his paintings were very expensive … Secondly, Li Ge had long retired and stopped painting, Hence, it was hard to find his painting!
The only thing that she was curious about was Li Ge’s name, family and background, which no one knew about.
He was out of reach, mysterious and low-key, and everyone knew nothing about it.
One day, she heard her classmates discussing.
“Li Ge’s style of painting is very similar to that of Senior Mubai! Do you guys think that Senior Mubai could be Li Ge?”
Their remark was casual but not to Luo Zheng.
Since Li Ge no longer painted, she decided to secretly go and look at Xi Mubai’s paintings.
As a legendary figure on campus, Xi Mubai’s paintings were often posted by others. However, the style was almost the same.
At that moment, she rejoiced and deduced that Xi Mubai was Li Ge.
Later on, she met Xi Mubai.
He was extremely good-looking, cleanly-shaved, gentle and beyond her imagination… coupled with his soulful paintings which greatly attracted her.
Luo Zheng was a loyal person who would give it her all once she fell in love with someone.
The same was true for paintings. She laid the foundation for the tragedy that would fall upon her ten years later, because of her love for him!
At that time, her father proposed to marry another woman and she agreed out of filial piety.
Hence, her stepmother, Zhao Manru and her stepsister Mu Nianqing moved into the Mu Family home.
At the beginning, she felt that Mu Nianqing was kind and considerate, and even took good care of herself. They shared a close relationship and she treated Mu Nianqing like her own sister.
Young girls always want to share with others.
She didn’t have many close friends and barely had any best friends. Hence, she told Mu Nianqing all about her love for Xi Mubai when the latter asked.
She included how she met Xi Mubai and interacted with him.
In short, she told Mu Nianqing everything without missing out any details.
It happened that Mu Nianqing had just returned from Britain and was transferring to Capital University. Hence, she became acquainted with Xi Mubai.
She knew that Xi Mubai hated her and so, she asked Mu Nianqing to help her send a love letter to him… Mu Nianqing was a little embarrassed and conflicted but she still promised to help and talk to Xi Mubai for Luo Zheng.
Somehow, she and Xi Mubai got closer and closer over time.
Clearly, Xi Mubai was her sweetheart and yet, he treated Mu Nianqing specially, as if she were his life savior… Later on, she found out that Xi Mubai actually fell in love with Mu Nianqing!
She was terrified, in despair, helpless, and decided to ignore Mu Nianqing for good.
But what happened later on?
Mu Nianqing apologized to her and even promised that she wouldn’t snatch her sweetheart away because she didn’t have any feelings for Xi Mubai!
Because of this, she was utterly grateful towards Mu Nianqing and even trusted her blindly. She was even willing to give everything to Mu Nianqing.
At last, she slowly lost everything she had!
“Ah!”
All of a sudden, Luo Zheng woke up drenched in sweat and she felt an excruciating pain in her chest. She was feeling so terrible that she wanted to cry!
