Chapter 511: Life and Death Just a Thin Line Away03_1

Starting over, it was certainly not as easy as Dongfang Jin had imagined.

Regardless of whether Lu Xuening was still by his side, at least, Baili Xia knew very well, that she wasn’t the old Baili Xia anymore.

The naive and bright girl he used to pity and cherish had changed.

Now, she had become complex and even, soiled.

Could a girl toyed with by men still remained pure?

The sorrow in Baili Xia’s eyes flashed through but was quickly replaced by a bright smile as she looked at Dongfang Jin.

“The things in the past, you want to believe but dare not, you don’t want to believe, yet you’re willing to…

If it’s so complicated, why not let it go.”

“Let it go?” Dongfang Jin looked at her, not knowing how to respond.

Believe, yet doubt, disbelieve, yet willing to trust.

This girl, what was she talking about today?

Why couldn’t he refute every single sentence she uttered?

Starting over as friends, why just friends?

“I really need to go to school now, I’m running late.”

Baili Xia took out her phone again and checked the time.

She had half an hour left, it should be enough to catch the bus home.

She smiled at Dongfang Jin and waved her hand.

“I have to go now, Jin, let’s meet for a drink when you’re free.”

“You’ve started to use such perfunctory words with me too?” Dongfang Jin felt strangely helpless.

Somebody once said, someday, meant the forever second day.

Someday, was simply the most ruthless, the most heartless phrase.

“You’re overthinking.” Baili Xia was still smiling, waving at him, she really had to go.

Dongfang Jin took a few steps after her, “My car’s nearby, let me drive you home.”

“No need, there’s a bus stop not far away from here, I can go home by myself.”

Just because he’s not resisting her now, doesn’t mean he would never resist.

The key matter was still the toxins in him.

Right now, she wasn’t ready to raise Lu Xuening’s suspicions, so she should not get too close to him.

She considered Jin’s attitude today to be a very good and unexpected outcome.

If things continued this way, she believed some matters could be settled soon.

Dongfang Jin watched as she walked away briskly, disappearing from sight.

She seemed genuinely in high spirits now.

This silly girl could always recover from difficulties, crying a bit, laughing a bit, and then she was good again.

In this moment, he yearned to catch up with her, to walk with her under the sunshine.

But her deliberate distancing from him just now had made him lose courage.

Now, things were indeed different from the past.

Now, Lu Xuening had become a part of their equation.

Thinking of Lu Xuening, he felt inexplicably frustrated.

Pulling his gaze away from Baili Xia, he turned around towards his parked car.

Unexpectedly, he saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eye just a few steps away.

He flinched slightly, looking at the figure.

A car drove past him on the main street.

The figure in the car… Guisu!

His heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Guisu, with a grim expression and murderous eyes, what was he planning to do?

The car drove past him, heading in that direction…

His heart clenched again, inwardly cursing, he quickened his steps towards his car.

Damn it!

Guisu’s target today was Xiaxia!
