Chapter Eighty-One: Counterattack

  "What brings you here?" Lí Luòér smiled lightly and walked forward to greet him.

  "What do you think?" Bai Shi's fake smile was as cold and icy as her expression, without a hint of warmth.

  "I don't know, so please enlighten me." Li Luo'er's smile gradually deepened, revealing two dimples.

  A smile as beautiful as a flower reflected in Bai Shi's eyes, undoubtedly a huge provocation.

  Bai Shi's eyes gleamed with excitement, and Li Luo'er understood at a glance. However, she still confidently met her gaze, which was as sharp as a knife, and smiled as usual.

  "You can actually come and go from the police station as if it were a no-man's land, it seems that your fox-like skills are not small!" Bai Shi let out a cold hum, speaking in a gloomy and sarcastic tone, thinking about how she didn't hurt him at all when he was at the Lei family's place that day, and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

  "Because I didn't do anything!" Lei Luo'er's firm gaze stared at her, originally, she had never done anything, everything was just a misunderstanding.

  "Nothing? Are you sure you don't have anything? Don't you feel guilty?"

  "Hah! If I'm guilty, I'm afraid some people will have a harder time sleeping than me! Don't those who do evil deeds often have nightmares?" Lei Luo'er retorted, watching Bai Shi's fake smile gradually falter, feeling somewhat relieved in her heart. If it wasn't for you, how would Grandfather be on the brink of death?

  "It seems like you're well-prepared today, this sharp-tongued person is going to devour me alive, how come I never noticed before?" Although Bai Shi was a bit flustered when facing the different Li Lu'er, she refused to back down in terms of momentum.

  "I think we're not suitable to chat together, everyone is unhappy!" Lí Luòér smiled, pulled Shěn Xiǎo Xuān from behind, linked arms and was about to return to class.

  "I haven't told you to leave yet!" Just as they brushed shoulders, Bai Shi grabbed Lei Luo'er's arm with force, pulling it slightly painfully.

  "Who are you to me? Why care so much?" Lei Luo'er still smiled, the fearlessness in her eyes surprised Shen Xiaoxuan beside her.

  "Because you took something that didn't belong to you!" At the moment she spoke, a glimmer of hope flashed in Bai Shi's eyes.

  "Are you referring to Lu Xiansheng?" Li Luo'er looked like a naive little girl, tilting her head and blinking her eyes at Bai Shi, as if waiting for an answer.

  "Knowing very well but asking anyway, haha... Not seeing each other for a few days, and now looking at you with new eyes!"

  "It seems like I've never taken anything from him, yet he's always been close to me. Is that right, Xiao Xuan?" Li Luo'er smiled lightly and raised an eyebrow at Shen Xiao Xuan.

  But now Shen Xiaoxuan seems to be afraid of something, his facial expression has been tense all the time.

  Bai Shi heard this and almost fell over, but was caught by Jia Rongrong beside her. She glared at Li Luoer, it seemed she wanted to teach her a lesson.

  The raised palm ultimately did not hit Li Lu'er's face, as Lu Xuan Sheng tightly grasped her wrist. His furious gaze seemed to want to burn her alive; if looks could kill, Bai Shi would have fallen long ago.

  "I told you! Stay away from Lí Luò'ér!" Lù Xuàn Shèng's cold warning, as he roughly shook off her arm.

  "Haha... haha..." Bai Shi could no longer hold back her tears, crying coldly while laughing, unsure if she was mocking herself or the people standing in front of her.

  "Let's go, there's nothing to say to this kind of person." Lu Xiangsheng pulled up Li Luo'er's hand and said softly.

  "Uh-huh."

  But Bai Shi didn't give up, and in a frenzy, she pounced on Li Luo'er's back and grabbed the bow at the back of her dress, tearing it.

  No one expected this, as Li Lu'er turned around, she was fiercely pinched on the neck by Bai Shi.

  "Let go! Bai Shi, have you gone mad? Can't you see so many school leaders are here?! Even your father is here!" Lu Xian Sheng burst out, hysterically yelling at her.

  But Bai Shi didn't care, still refusing to let go. Upon hearing Li Luo's coughing, he seemed even more delighted. This was perhaps his final struggle. Since he refused to turn back and she refused to release him, they might as well perish together!

  "Are you heartbroken?" Bai Shi teased, her eyes provoking Lu Xiangsheng.

  "Let go! Or I'm not sure what I'll do!" Lu Xiangsheng forced himself to calm down, but his words were still trembling.

  "I just want you to enjoy this heart-wrenching pain!"

  "Are you really mentally ill? There has never been love between us two people, what are you going crazy about?"

  "Really? You don't love me... Right! You don't love me, I'm just a one-sided love!" Bai Shi muttered to herself, gazing up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, trying hard not to let her tears fall.

  "Let go! Why make things difficult for yourself?"

  Bai Shi listened to this sentence, coldly laughing, gradually increasing his strength, Lei Luo's daughter was already almost unable to breathe.

  "This is what you gave me that day! Give it back to you!" Bai Shi roared, and fiercely pushed Li Luo'er to the ground.

  At the moment when Li Luo fell softly to the ground, Lu Xiangsheng rushed forward like a madman and caught her.

  With great effort, she opened her eyes, and the last thing reflected in her dazed pupils was Bai Shi's cold smile.

  It was like this all along... Hehe, it was like this all along... Hehe!

  Li Luo'er slowly closed her eyes and fell into Lu Xiangsheng's arms.

  "What the hell is wrong with you!" Chen Zhiquan couldn't bear it anymore and kicked Bai Shi, the whole school was like a boiling pot, screams of surprise were like waves crashing continuously.

  The white poem that had fallen to the ground still turned its head stubbornly, staring at Lu Xiangsheng, as if flaunting its final victory.

  "It's hopeless!" Shen Xiaoxuan cried and wiped her face, pulling Chen Zhiquan to follow Lu Xiansheng's fleeing footsteps.

  Familiar hospital, familiar doctor, familiar observation room.

  It's been just a few days and he's back here again. Lu Xiangsheng curled up the corner of his lips, speechless.

  She didn't even have the strength to protect herself, and could only watch helplessly as she was taken away.

  Lu Xuan Sheng painfully closed his eyes and leaned against the wall.

  "Good news! Good news!" The doctor in charge came out, excitedly shouting, "The hematoma in her brain has all been dispersed, she should be fine... how did you guys do it?"

  Rumble...

  Just like a thunderclap on a clear day, Lu Xiangsheng and Shen Xiaoxuan were both stunned.

  "How did you manage that? You're stimulated!" Chen Zhiquan looked at this silly doctor, and was so angry he couldn't speak properly.

  "It's all right, it's all right! There's nothing wrong this time! The recovery is good, there's no problem at all!" The doctor said, handing a medical report to Lu Xiansheng, "Wait for her to wake up and rest for a while, then you can go home."

  "Thank you." After Lu Xiangsheng responded with these two words devoid of warmth, he pushed open the hospital room door.

  Looking at Lei Luo'er who was fast asleep, Lu Xiangsheng actually shed tears.

  Holding her small hand against his cheek, Lu Xiangsheng felt unprecedented fear and heartache. "Why? Why?! Every time it's like this! I clearly said I'd protect you, said I'd be with you, yet time and again I let you get hurt! Why!"

  Chen Zhiquan let out a deep sigh and pulled an unwilling Shen Xiaoxuan out of the ward.

  "Why get up, the kids haven't woken up yet!"

  "Let them two talk alone for a while, we go back to school!"

  "I don't want to! I want to stay with Luo Er!" Shen Xiaoxuan stubbornly refused to leave.

  "Lai Luoer has remembered things from before! What do you think you can do?! Crying together with your head in your hands? Can that solve anything?"

  "What can Lu Xiangsheng solve? In the end, if you two didn't appear, this wouldn't have happened at all!" Shen Xiaoxuan said with tears in her eyes, blurting out everything she should and shouldn't say.

  Chen Zhiquan sighed a few times, shook his head and walked away, leaving Shen Xiaoxuan alone in the cold corridor, crying silently.

  Tick-tock...

  Lai Luo'er felt the cold teardrop touching her nose wing and slowly opened her eyes.

  "Big man, how can you cry, it's really funny." Li Lu'er tried hard to pull the corners of her mouth.

  Lu Xuan Sheng smiled wryly, "Who told you to wake up now? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"

  "No!"

  "Has everyone remembered?" Lu Xiangsheng asked cautiously.

  "Uh-huh."

  "......Isn't there anything you'd like to ask?"

  "What's left to remember?" Lí Luòér smiled and seemed as if everything was none of her concern.

  Lu Xuan Sheng was speechless, and could only tightly grasp her cold little hand.

  Li Luo'er leaned back against the headboard of the bed, relying on Lu Xiangsheng's strength, and said faintly, "I used to live too humbly."

  "What's wrong?" Lu Xiangsheng suddenly became alert.

  "Hehe, nothing much, I just want my youth to be more colorful, but not with those dark colors... The past is the past, it can pass but cannot be forgotten. I won't let anyone around me get hurt again!" Li Lu'er said firmly, her smile gradually relaxing, recalling the past, indeed she was too weak back then!

  "It's changed you, I think, and it really makes me happy." Lu Xiangsheng gently kissed her forehead, not expecting her to be so strong.

  "Then can I ask you a question?" Lí Luòér collected her smile, her expression quite serious. "You can not speak, but you cannot deceive me."

  "Hmm..." Lu Xiangsheng straightened his posture.

  "Is the sister who sent Grandpa to Shanghai your real sister Lu Meiyou?"

  "Hmm." Lu Xiangsheng replied without hesitation, but in fact, from the moment Li Luer said that sentence, he had already prepared himself to confess everything, yet deep down, he was praying not to touch his own bottom line.

  "Mom entering the Wind and Clouds was your arrangement, right?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Is it the TV you asked for?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Does Wang Jun, General Manager of Fengyun Group ring a bell?"

  "Recognize! Although not familiar, it's confirmed recognition."

  "What's your relationship with Fengyun Group..."

  "Lu Weiyu, the honorary chairman of Fengyun Group, is my grandfather. The current chairman Lu Jun is my father... My sister... You've met her, Lu Meiyou, she's a director."

  Li Luo'er smiled slightly, she hadn't expected that the answer she had been searching for all along would be spoken so easily.

  "Why did you come to Xinjiang?"

  Lu Xuan furrowed his brow, "Because I and Zhi Quan don't want to go to Shanghai Finance University, even less willing to go to the American Business School, I like music, he likes freedom."

  "Run away from home?"

  "Right, but you also know it's already been found."

  "Aren't you unhappy about going to school? Why did you come to Xingzhong and why are you in the same class as me?" Li Lu'er summoned up her courage and finally asked all these questions.

  "Because in the rain, you... have already made me lose my way. I want to keep walking, but I can't. My heart is here, and even if my body goes elsewhere, it's still wandering." Lu Xiangsheng's lips curled up into a warm smile, looking at Li Lu'er, indeed, this world will become much more beautiful.

  You don't know, that rain, not only stopped me in my tracks, but also tied up my heart...
