Chapter 368: Who Is It That Can't Forget 01_1

“Xiaxia.” From a distance, Ning Anran, who had spotted Baili Xia, hurried over.

“Xiaxia, you’re finally back.

Someone…

someone is looking for you.”

…

She only had two classes in the morning, and right after class, Baili Xia was blocked by someone.

Ning Anran looked meaningfully at the two of them and laughed as she left.

She left Baili Xia there and returned to her dormitory.

Just one look at her suggestive expression, and Baili Xia knew that there must’ve been a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding between her and Dongfang Ji?

She never thought that could be possible.

“May I have a word with you?”

Dongfang Ji looked at Baili Xia, whom he had intercepted, ignoring the strange glances from others, and spoke calmly.

He had arrived before the class started, but this girl completely ignored him.

She just walked straight into the classroom for her lesson.

However, he didn’t get angry.

His attitude today was surprisingly good.

“If you only want to say thanks, you don’t need to.

Your brother already thanked me on your behalf.”

Surprised glances from the surrounding girls were thrown their way.

She didn’t even have to think to know that everyone was starting to imagine things.

The undergraduate Mu, the graduate student Dongfang…

Walking with the movers and shakers of the school without a thought, it was clear what kind of rumors would be flying about.

It certainly wouldn’t be anything good, probably about her being some kind of flirt.

Baili Xia really didn’t want to attract attention, she just wanted to live a peaceful life.

But Dongfang Ji was still standing in front of her, blocking her path, clearly not ready to let her go.

With no choice, Baili Xia finally agreed to “step aside and talk” with him.

“Senior.” Under the pavilion in the back yard, Baili Xia sat on a stone bench, looking at Dongfang Ji standing nearby.

“I’ve told you before, your elder brother has already come to see me, even treated me to a meal and thanked me on your behalf.

So you don’t need to…”

“You’re that Xiaxia?” Dongfang Ji leaned against the pillar, looking down at her.

Baili Xia widened her eyes, not understanding what he was saying.

Dongfang Ji’s gaze remained fixed on her face, his thin lips tightly drawn into a line.

After a while, he continued, “So you are the Xiaxia my brother mentioned, Lu Xuening’s little sister.”

Upon hearing this, Baili Xia’s eyes quickly lost their sparkle.

She blinked, collecting her overflowing emotions.

Then she looked up again, meeting his gaze, and smiled faintly.

“My mother and her husband have divorced, I’m no longer Lu Xuening’s sister.”

As for his words “the Xiaxia in my brother’s words”, she did not want to comment.

Dongfang Jin disliked her so much, how could he mention her in front of others?

“Do you know when I heard my brother mention your name?” Dongfang Ji suddenly asked.

Baili Xia just smiled lightly and shook her head.

She didn’t know, and she didn’t care to know.

These issues were no longer related to her.

But Dongfang Ji did not care whether she wanted to hear it or not, he simply continued.

“Every time my brother gets drunk, the only word he mumbles is ‘Xiaxia’.”

Baili Xia felt a jolt, her heart shook fiercely.

She quickly looked up at him, her breathing erratic.

What did he mean?

Jin was drunkenly calling out her name?

Why was he telling her this?

She really…

didn’t want to hear it.

“Strange, isn’t it?” Dongfang Jin lightly lifted his cold eyes.

He continued to scrutinize her from head to toe, then from toe to head.

“I really can’t see anything special about you that would make my brother miss you so much.”
