Rebirth: The Fake Young Lady Is A Real Young Lady Novel - Chapter 253

253 Confess

“I don’t care. I’ll help you pull it again. It’s too late to change now. Take a deep breath.” Liu Cheng said as she pulled the zipper tightly, ready to squeeze Jiang Xue in.

Jiang Xue did not want to cause any more trouble at this time, so she followed Liu Cheng’s instructions. She took a deep breath and forced herself into the expensive dress.

Liu Cheng heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She did not expect Jiang Xue to be so fat. Her stomach was so big that people would think she was pregnant.

Jiang Xue did not think too much about it. As soon as she changed into the dress, she excitedly took Liu Cheng to Xiang Cheng.

When Guan Lei arrived, he was stuck in a traffic jam at the entrance of the hotel, so he had no choice but to get out of the car and walk over to where Shen Xi and the others were.

“Why are you here?” Shen Xi asked Guan Lei in surprise.

“Of course, he’s here to find you.” Zhao Yuan teased.

Guan Lei said shyly, “Yeah, I’m here to see you. Xi, come with me to a place.”

Shen Xi asked curiously, “Where are we going? ”

Guan Lei did not explain it clearly and just pulled Shen Xi up. “You’ll know when you come with me.”

Shen Xi was helpless and could only stand up and say to Zhao Yuan and the other person, “I’ll go with Guan Lei then, you two …”

“Aiya, you guys go ahead. I’ll play with Li Jin,” Zhao Yuan said considerately.

Shen Xi nodded and left with Guan Lei.

“Li Jin, where are we going to play later?” Zhao Yuan asked Li Jin, who was sitting opposite her while drinking milk tea.

Li Jin retracted his gaze from Shen Xi and Guan Lei’s back and said absent-mindedly, “I have something to do later, so I’ll go back first. I’m sorry I can’t play with you.”

“Alright, I’m the freest.” Zhao Yuan’s expression showed that life was boring.

Guan Lei brought Shen Xi to a room filled with balloons.

Looking at the pink balloons that filled the room, Shen Xi asked in confusion, “Guan Lei, who’s celebrating their birthday?”

Guan Lei’s eyes were fixed on Shen Xi. “It’s not anyone’s birthday. I want to confess to you. Shen Xi, I like you. Can you be my girlfriend?”

Shen Xi was shocked by Guan Lei’s formal confession and stammered, “Guan Lei, stop joking. Besides, the results of this month’s exam aren’t out yet.”

Guan Lei took out a box from the table and opened it slowly. “Xixi, I’m not joking, I really like you.” The bet I made with you on the monthly test results was just to make you like me. So, the monthly test results and my love and desire to be with you are two different things.”

Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei’s sincere and serious face and felt a little troubled. Just like what Li Jin had asked her in the washroom, she did not know if she liked Guan Lei, so she did not want to hold him up.

“Guan Lei, sorry, I …” Shen Xi could not bear to hurt Guan Lei’s heart by saying no.

When Guan Lei saw Shen Xi’s expression, all that was left of his confidence was apprehension.

“You don’t like me?” Guan Lei asked carefully.

Shen Xi frowned and tried to phrase her words. “Guan Lei, I think we’re still young. I don’t want to consider this kind of romantic relationship for now.”

Guan Lei felt extremely aggrieved and said sadly, “So, you were lying to me when you said that you would like me if I got first place in the exam?”

Shen Xi laughed awkwardly. “It’s not really a lie. I just felt that it’s not that easy for anyone in the school to score better than me.”

Guan Lei’s heart was bitter. In order to know the results of the monthly test in advance, he had spent some money and tricks yesterday to get the school teachers to work overtime to mark the test papers. Only the heavens knew how happy he was when he found out that he and Shen Xi were tied for first place.

Who knew that today’s confession would end up like this? Guan Lei was extremely upset.

Guan Lei did not want to give up so easily. He continued, “But I think we’re really fated. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dreamed of you before we even met.”

“Enter your dream? What do you mean?” Shen Xi asked.

Guan Lei answered honestly, “I asked Zheng Huai to hypnotize me today and I finally saw the person in my nightmare clearly. It’s you. I think this is fate that the heavens have bestowed upon us. Otherwise, why is it that I can only sleep peacefully and not have nightmares when you’re by my side?”
