From that day on, Ling Yunran naturally took on the role of Yu Xue's boyfriend, showing up at her little house every day without fail. His actions even caught the attention of paparazzi who trailed behind him, snapping photos.
Yu Xue gradually became accustomed to his presence. Whenever she heard his footsteps approaching or felt his aura lingering nearby, an indescribable sense of security would wash over her, as if a drifting ship had finally found a tranquil harbor.
Yet this feeling also sparked confusion within her. What was happening to her?
Yu Xue covered her face, a sudden thought flashing through her mind. Could it be that she had fallen in love with him...?
Knock, knock, knock—
A series of knocks interrupted her thoughts, and Yu Xue's heart leaped with joy. Without even putting on her slippers, she bounced over to the door, cheerfully murmuring, "Yunran, you're here so early..."
But the moment she opened the door, her expression froze. The smile on her face quickly faded like the retreating tide, replaced by a familiar distance and wariness, as if an invisible barrier had suddenly risen between them.
"It's me, sister."
Standing outside was none other than Yu Xue's half-sister, Yu Lingwei.
Before Yu Xue could react, Yu Lingwei stepped into the house without hesitation, standing in the center of the living room and looking around with disdain. She curled her lip and said, "This place is smaller than my dressing room. Are you used to living here?"
Yu Xue watched her warily, eyes filled with suspicion as she coldly asked, "What are you doing here?"
Yu Lingwei smiled lightly, though there was a hint of mockery in her laughter. "Don't be so tense. I paid quite a bit to those paparazzi just to find this place."
Yu Xue didn't want to linger on the matter any longer and bluntly issued an eviction order. "Yu Lingwei, say what you need to say quickly, and then leave."
Yu Lingwei paused for a moment, a cold smile creeping onto her lips, revealing a hint of smugness and malice. "So, after running away from home, your tone has changed. Are you with Ling Yunran now?"
Thinking about how she had schemed to take her boyfriend away, Yu Xue felt a twinge of guilt but forced herself to remain calm. "Yes, even though he was your boyfriend, he’s with me now."
"Boyfriend?" Yu Lingwei's expression turned skeptical before she burst into laughter, the sound echoing harshly in the room. "Is that what Yunran told you? Hahaha..."
"What are you laughing at?" Yu Xue felt a splitting headache and just wanted to end this conversation and escape the suffocating atmosphere.
"So that night was all for my benefit?" Yu Lingwei leaned closer to Yu Xue, her face twisted into a sinister expression. "You think you stole my boyfriend? Hahaha, foolish girl, you've fallen into my trap!"
She deliberately enunciated each word, her eyes gleaming with malice as she watched Yu Xue's face turn pale.
Yu Xue felt a surge of panic but fought to maintain her composure, reminding herself that Yu Lingwei loved to deceive; she couldn't believe anything she said...
"Listen carefully," Yu Lingwei smirked, her smile resembling a snake ready to strike. "This is all just a bet between me and Yunran—a wager on whether you would leave with him or even sleep with him. The stakes? Just a mere kiss."
"What?!" Yu Xue's lips trembled in disbelief as she stared intently at Yu Lingwei, searching for any sign of a lie on her face.
The chilling expression on Yu Lingwei's face sent shivers down Yu Xue's spine. She scoffed, "Hmph, I knew I would lose!" Yu Lingwei's gaze drifted past Yu Xue's shoulder as she called out towards the door, "Yunran, you won!"
Slowly turning her head, Yu Xue saw Ling Yunran standing at the doorway, his face as pale as paper. She walked over slowly, trembling fingers pointing at Yu Lingwei as she asked in a shaky voice, "Is what she said true?"
Ling Yunran remained silent, yet this silence felt like the loudest answer, striking heavily against Yu Xue's heart.
Yu Xue's face turned even paler, as if all the blood had been drained from her. Trembling, she raised her hand and slapped Ling Yunran hard across the face. The sound of the slap was crisp and loud; he did not flinch, accepting it with a look of utter despair, as if he had lost all vitality in an instant.
"Why are you tormenting me?" Yu Xue staggered back two steps, her eyes filled with confusion and despair, looking at him helplessly like a child lost in the dark.
A sharp pain pierced Ling Yunran's heart. He opened his mouth but couldn't find the words to respond.
"Because... I want to drive you out of that house," Yu Lingwei said with a bright smile that seemed particularly eerie at that moment. She gently linked her arm with Ling Yunran's and waved triumphantly at Yu Xue. "Yunran and I are leaving now. I accept my defeat..."
Ling Yunran cast a deep glance at Yu Xue, his eyes filled with complex emotions—guilt, reluctance—but ultimately he did not move.
Yu Lingwei leaned close to his ear, gritting her teeth as she whispered, "Are you feeling sorry for her? Don’t forget about the plan..." Ling Yunran shivered as if doused in cold water, finally walking away dejectedly, his back appearing so lonely and helpless.
With a loud bang, the door was slammed shut, the sound hitting Yu Xue's heart like a heavy hammer.
Leaning against the door, Yu Xue slowly sank to the ground, her head pounding and her stomach churning uncomfortably. Unable to bear it any longer, she covered her mouth and staggered toward the bathroom.
