Luo Zheng began picking up all of the stars and discarding them into the rubbish bin, regardless of the rain and the broken glass shards that might cut her hand… After four or five trips, she finally disposed of all of them and mourned the loss of her youth.
She then walked towards him with a smile on her porcelain face. “Senior Mubai, are you pleased with what I’ve done?”
Xi Mubai stared at her with a complicated expression, unsure of how he should answer her.
She seemed to be different from what he remembered. Hence, he was stunned speechless.
“Goodbye, Senior Mubai.”
Seeing that he was remaining silent, Luo Zheng decided not to say anything further and instead walked past Xi Mubai before leaving confidently.
Her slender body seemed to have become blurry in the rain.
Xi Mubai recovered from the shock and smirked derisively after doubting himself for paying attention to Luo Zheng.
It is either she is not Luo Zheng, or… she is pulling a scheming trick and applying the technique of ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’!
Unfortunately, he was still not interested in a love-struck fool like her, regardless of how much her appearance changed.
He looked away and briefly responded to everyone else before leaving.
“Mubai, is she still Luo Zheng? I almost couldn’t recognize her!”
Another youth, Shen Lu strode towards Xi Mubai and walked beside him calmly.
“Did you know? I heard that she made a bet with her teacher, whereby her teacher would resign if she were to make it to the top ten in the next examination. If she doesn’t, she would withdraw from school and quit studying forever… Tsk, tsk, what a strong personality! Unfortunately, she has been doing very poorly so the chances of her winning are slim!”
Upon hearing those words, Xi Mubai frowned subconsciously and remarked in frustration, “She’s overestimated herself!”
“Exactly! But Mubai, aren’t you being a little cruel by turning her down in such a manner?”
Shen Lu sighed at the thought of her reaction just now.
Xi Mubai had plenty of admirers, all of whom he had never rejected so harshly before. Luo Zheng was the first… and her reputation might just go from bad to worse after this!
“Is it that cruel? That’s the only way to make her give up!”
Xi Mubai spoke emotionlessly.
Luo Zheng adored him to bits at the start but he ignored her just like how he ignored the other girls in a bid to make her give up… Yet, she managed to persist for two years and even got more absurd in the recent past. His teacher then urged him to settle the problem because he could not take it anymore.
Hence, she could not blame him because she was the one who brought it upon herself!
“You just don’t know how lucky you are. Be careful not to regret your decision! I’d really like to know if she would be withdrawing from school or her teacher would be resigning! I hope she’ll surprise me.”
Seemingly having thought of something, Shen Lu urged, “It’s little Princess’ birthday tonight. We can’t be late!”
Xi Mubai frowned and suddenly felt extremely flustered.
Her grades have been in the doldrums and yet, she is thinking of getting to the top ten within just a month. What a far-fetched idea… Indeed, she is just a silly love-struck fool who has no value at all!
I will regret this?
Hah, never… not in this life!

As expected, Luo Zheng gained more attention again and everyone started pointing fingers at her when she walked towards the campus.
Luo Zheng ignored them and left the classroom as soon as school was dismissed in the afternoon.
Noticing that it was about to rain soon, she rushed to the nurse’s office.
She had yet to bandage the wounds on her arm from when she was relieving the effects of the aphrodisiac.
After that, Luo Zheng dismissed her driver, hailed a cab and headed to a beauty salon.
She exited in a fiery red dress that made her skin look rather fair and luscious like a beautiful rose.
The moon was shining above her.
Luo Zheng hurriedly rushed to Sophia Hotel and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw a large crowd.
Indeed, she did not remember wrongly.
It was the 20th birthday of Luo Tingxue, the younger heiress of the Luo Family!
