Mr. Xiao’s Unconditional Love

Lu Beixiao stopped by the garden of the Ye family and spoke to the housekeeper, “I am here for Miss Ye.”

“Brother Beixiao! What brings you here to me today?” The one who answered was not the Miss Ye that he had intended to summon. He forgot that there was another girl in the family. In fact, he could not even remember her name.

Ye Zhenzhen remained composed on the surface, though there were already butterflies floating around in her stomach. Growing up, she had seen many charming boys, but none of them was anything close to Lu Beixiao’s perfection. She instantly blushed at the unexpected encounter and started wondering why he asked for her.

“I am not here for you. I am here for Ye Qiao!” Lu Beixiao made it crystal clear who he was looking for, which thoroughly dampened Ye Zhenzhen’s enthusiasm.

Why is he looking for the bumpkin? It seemed that everyone in her world had their eyes laid solely on Ye Qiao as if the world revolved around her. The unfair treatment filled Ye Zhenzhen with indignation.

She walked into the house and pretended to ask for Ye Qiao, but she actually did not really do so. She could not let her beloved Beixiao see Ye Qiao.

“Brother Beixiao, Ye Qiao is still sleeping. She is not seeing anyone at the moment. Anyway, why are you looking for her?” Ye Zhenzhen walked down the stairs with a smile that was too hard to hide. However, something familiar hanging over Lu Beixiao’s shoulder suddenly caught her attention. It looked like a set of uniforms.

“Who said that I was still sleeping?” Ye Qiao raised her voice as she walked down the stairs. Her response came as a smack in Ye Zhenzhen’s face.

“Oh, weren’t you? I tried to call you a few times at your door!” Ye Zhenzhen needed to cover up her lie quickly. Nevertheless, Ye Qiao ignored her and fixed her eyes on Lu Beixiao instead, who was now casually standing in the living room. She knew why he was here as soon as she saw the uniform on his shoulder.

The girl who just came down from the stairs had a pair of short denim pants matched with an orange tank top and a loose white shirt that was left unbuttoned. Her black hair was as fine as silk and loosely hung on the sides of her beautiful face. As she walked towards him, it was as if he caught a glimpse of a goddess coming to life.

Her skin was as white as snow, almost flawless. She sent forth a delicate fresh fragrance that made it apparent she just got out of the shower. It was just a refreshing scent in the midst of a hot summer day.

Ye Qiao looked Lu Beixiao straight in the eye, and it reminded her of their tangled relationship in the past. The thought of his death involuntarily caused an ache in her heart.

In their shared past, he used to love her so dearly, and yet she never appreciated him, for she was far too ignorant to cherish the man.

“Are you looking for me, Brother Beixiao?” She tried to imitate Ye Zhenzhen’s affectionate and sweet mannerisms.

Both Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Qiao talked to Lu Beixiao in the same way to impress him, but he found that Ye Zhenzhen’s attempt was too pretentious. He was only comfortable enough for Ye Qiao to talk to him that way.

Lu Beixiao removed the pair of old-fashioned, black-framed glasses that were hanging on the neckline of his singlet as well as the uniform from his shoulder.

Ye Zhenzhen was confused to see that Lu Beixiao had Ye Qiao’s uniform with him and began wondering about the things that might have happened between them.

“Thank you for sending them here, Brother Beixiao.” Ye Qiao took her things into her possession. Next, she went straight to the bathroom and threw her uniform in the bucket of dirty clothes. As for the pair of black-framed glasses, it belonged in the bin!

It was all Shen Xichuan’s fault. He once told her that her beauty was only reserved for him to see. All the other boys were perverts, especially the Lu brothers, so she had to hide her beauty.

On her way back to the living room, she went to the fridge and took two bottles of Arctic Ocean soda with straws. She tossed one of the bottles to him, and he caught it firmly in his hand. In return, he tossed her a small black box. She looked closely at it and realized that it was a pager.

Mobile phones were not trendy back then. It was an era where pagers ruled as the main tool of communication. There were already many messages inside from Li Yun, telling her that Shen Xichuan had fractured his bones in the fight and was now in the hospital. She urged her to go to the hospital at once.

Ye Qiao would rather see him dead, though.

“Aren’t you going to the hospital to see your little boyfriend?” Lu Beixiao teased her before he left.
