Rebirth: The Fake Young Lady Is A Real Young Lady Novel - Chapter 321

321 The Familiar Figure

The next day, Guan Lei went directly to Shen Xi’s dormitory to wait for her. The books said that this was the only way to show his sincerity.

Xi’s boy: Xi, I’ll be waiting for you downstairs.

Shen Xi looked at her phone and secretly laughed at the little fool, Guan Lei. She then walked to the balcony and looked up and down for Guan Lei. Sure enough, she saw Guan Lei kicking stones at the entrance of the dormitory.

Shen Xi looked carefully at Guan Lei, who was downstairs and only looked up at the rising sun after a long while. However, a slightly familiar figure suddenly appeared in her eyes.

!!
Shen Xi was stunned and quickly ran downstairs.

“Xi, what’s wrong?” Zhao Yuan looked at Shen Xi, who was running down the stairs, and asked in confusion.

When Guan Lei, who was downstairs, saw Shen Xi running out in her slippers with a nervous look on her face, he was also taken aback, thinking that Shen Xi had come to see him.

The joy that rose in Guan Lei’s heart instantly vanished when Shen Xi ran past him.

Guan Lei thought that something had happened to Shen Xi, so he hurriedly turned around to chase after her. However, he saw that Shen Xi was looking around as if she was looking for something.

Guan Lei quickly ran to Shen Xi’s side and asked, “Xi, what’s wrong? What are you looking for? What did you lose? I’ll help you find it.”

Shen Xi pulled Guan Lei and said anxiously, “Someone was standing here just now. He’s the one I saw at the mall the other day. But when I ran down, he was gone.”

Guan Lei was stunned. Wasn’t Meng Yu the person she saw at the mall?

Guan Lei felt as if he could hear his heart shattering like glass. He thought that Shen Xi had come down in such a panic to see him, but he didn’t expect her to be looking for that b*stard Meng Yu.

Shen Xi, who had been looking for Meng Yu, did not notice the change in Guan Lei’s mood. She was only upset that she had been too slow and missed that person again.

“Xi, do you like that person?” Guan Lei turned Shen Xi around and made her look into his eyes.

Shen Xi was taken aback. Does she like that person?

Shen Xi instantly panicked. She did not know the answer either. She only knew that the person had given her hope to live when she was at her most desperate, giving her a chance to take revenge. She only wanted to find that person.

That was all! She didn’t think about anything else at all.

When Guan Lei saw Shen Xi’s dazed look, his heart ached uncontrollably. It was as if something was stuck in his chest, making him feel bitter.

Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei. Guan Lei’s sorrowful eyes instantly looked deeply into Shen Xi’s brown pupils, occupying all of her thoughts, and causing her to panic.

Shen Xi slowly raised her hand and gently covered Guan Lei’s eyes, which seemed to be able to speak. Only then did her flustered heart slowly calm down.

For some reason, Shen Xi could not bear to see Guan Lei’s sorrowful expression.

“Can you give me a little more time?” Guan Lei allowed Shen Xi to block his view as he pleaded.

Guan Lei knew that he was late, but this was the first time he’d cared so much about a girl. He didn’t want to give her up to someone else, and he didn’t want it to end before they even started.

It was fine to say that he was selfish, but he just wanted to spend more time with Shen Xi so that she would have a higher chance of falling for him.

This way, even if Shen Xi were to meet Meng Yu in the future, she would not give up on him so easily, right? He just needed a little more time.

“What time?” After a long while, Shen Xi put down her hand and asked.

“Give me some time to woo you.” Guan Lei’s eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at Shen Xi.

Shen Xi’s eyes dodged slightly, not knowing how to answer. After a long while, she finally said, “Since I’ve promised you, I won’t go back on my word.”

Yes, she had promised Guan Lei that she would try to like him. She was not the kind of person who would talk nonsense.

Only then did Guan Lei’s tense mood relax.

“Hurry up and put on your shoes. Class is starting soon.” Guan Lei glanced at Shen Xi’s feet.

Only then did Shen Xi notice that she had run in her slippers. She nodded awkwardly and turned around.

“Wait a moment.” Guan Lei called out to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi turned to look at Guan Lei. “What’s wrong?”

“Close your eyes,” said Guan Lei with a smile.

Shen Xi did not know what was going on, but she still obediently closed her eyes.

Guan Lei took out a necklace from his pocket, walked behind Shen Xi, and wore the necklace around her neck.

The coldness of the necklace made Shen Xi’s heart skip a beat, and she opened her eyes abruptly
