Push Me Away When I Come, Don't Hold Me Back When I Leave - Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Let’s End This Riddle

***

“Can I interpret those words as a threat?” Jiang Ruhua’s expression seemed unchanged by Luo Qingxuan’s words, and she calmly took another sip of coffee.

“Think whatever you want, Jiang Ruhua.” Luo Qingxuan reined in her completely unrestrained appearance, picked up the freshly washed coffee cup and wiped it carefully, “But for me, this isn’t a threat, it’s just advice, as this isn’t good for either of you.”

Jiang Ruhua blinked, carefully examining the young woman before her, who now had a face as still as water, looking as if she would ask her to leave at the slightest disagreement.

After thinking carefully for a long time, Jiang Ruhua confirmed that she indeed had no conflict with Luo Qingxuan, and when she was particularly troubled, she suddenly thought of something.

If Xia Ruoming truly didn’t know about those things, then besides her, only one person would know.

“Impossible…” Jiang Ruhua muttered, “So those things really did happen, and it wasn’t Xia Ruoming who knew about those things, but you. This explains why Xia Ruoming reacted that way.”

“What do you mean?” Luo Qingxuan heard Jiang Ruhua’s muttering and turned her gaze over with interest.

“You, you knew about what would happen to Xia Ruoming in the future, that’s why you’re doing this, right?” Jiang Ruhua took a breath and said slowly, “Because you believe it would be a tragedy even if it happened again, so even with death threats, you want to prevent this story from happening, am I right?”

But Luo Qingxuan across the counter suddenly burst out laughing: “Hahahahaha… Jiang Ruhua, what are you talking about? Are you saying I can predict the future? I just find you very annoying, that’s why I’m preventing you from being with senior. You’re not a 3-year-old anymore, how can you still believe in supernatural powers like predicting the future? If you haven’t woken up properly, my coffee shop has a hammock, you can sleep a bit longer.”

Faced with Luo Qingxuan’s almost mocking words, Jiang Ruhua didn’t feel embarrassed. Instead, Luo Qingxuan’s reaction made her more convinced of her guess. That unbridled laughter clearly concealed a hint of panic, and that trace of panic didn’t escape Jiang Ruhua’s ears.

“I… don’t think you have the ability to predict the future.” Jiang Ruhua stared at Luo Qingxuan and suddenly spoke.

“Then what do you mean, Jiang Ruhua?” Luo Qingxuan’s curiosity was also piqued. Admittedly, when Jiang Ruhua said she had the ability to predict the future, she did panic for a moment.

Although she couldn’t predict the future, it seemed not too different.

Jiang Ruhua pressed her somewhat painful temples, and after a long while finally said: “If I’m not mistaken, your ability is to return to the past, isn’t it…”

Luo Qingxuan, who was washing cups, suddenly froze in place, and the coffee cup in her hand almost slipped. If it weren’t for her quick reflexes, the newly bought cup would have become a pile of ceramic fragments in the trash can.

“Your guess is indeed interesting. It seems you’re still the childish little princess that senior mentioned, Jiang Ruhua.” After regaining her composure, Luo Qingxuan didn’t directly answer Jiang Ruhua’s question, but continued to respond with a mocking tone that seemed provocative.

“I can say this because I noticed something unusual. How about it? As the person involved, don’t you want to hear about it?”

Looking at the obviously flustered Luo Qingxuan, Jiang Ruhua knew her guess was probably ninety percent correct. Although she couldn’t understand why there would be such a power in this world that could turn back time, obviously she wasn’t the only one who retained memories. If all this was true, then she could only learn to accept these unscientific things.

“Is that so? Then let me hear what insights the young lady of the Jiang family has.” Luo Qingxuan put down what was in her hands and sat opposite Jiang Ruhua, also making herself a cup of coffee — just a 6-yuan instant coffee.

“Perhaps you think you’ve disguised it well, but I was born with a particularly keen and strange sixth sense. Once I feel someone has strong hostility towards me, I inexplicably get a feeling of thorns in my back, my whole body feels uncomfortable.”

“That day at Starry Sky, I noticed that someone had particularly strong hostility towards me. I didn’t know where this hostility came from, after all, it was my first time going there. If Xia Ruoming had originally harbored hostility towards me, I would have felt it that day at school, and with her personality, she wouldn’t have talked to me so much, let alone made that strange bet.”

“When I learned that Chu Suhe was the person Xia Ruoming was currently pursuing, I thought that person was Chu Suhe, but when I met that woman again, I found out it wasn’t like that.”

“She isn’t the kind of well-hidden viper, but a truly naive sweetheart. The feeling she gives people is like a spring breeze. Even as a love rival, she couldn’t possibly harbor such great hostility at first meeting, and besides, I hadn’t shown any interest in Xia Ruoming.”

At this point, Jiang Ruhua seemed to feel her throat was too dry, and took another sip of coffee to moisten her throat before continuing.

“At that time I was very puzzled, wondering if perhaps a business rival of the Jiang family had followed me to Starry Sky Coffee Shop that day, wanting to play some improper tricks, and that’s why they had such strong hostility towards me.”

“But soon I found something wrong. This feeling didn’t fade even on the Zhejiang University campus. I always had the feeling that someone was watching me from the shadows. If it was Xia Ruoming’s so-called ex-girlfriend Xu Fengwu, then she should be watching the woman Xia Ruoming currently likes, how could she focus her attention on me.”

“Therefore, the person who appeared in all three places and meets the conditions is you, isn’t it, Luo Qingxuan?” Jiang Ruhua finished her deduction and let out another long breath.

“A very brilliant story, too brilliant, I think it’s a waste not to write novels.” Luo Qingxuan clapped a few times, then looked at Jiang Ruhua with disdain, “However, young lady of the Jiang family, didn’t your teacher teach you that when writing essays, you can’t go off-topic? Off-topic essays automatically get zero points. The story you told is indeed brilliant, but it only proves one thing.”

“This story only tells that you felt I had hostility towards you from the beginning. Hmm… since we’re being frank, I might as well speak plainly too. I indeed had hostility towards you from the beginning, but what does that have to do with whether I can return to the past or not? Couldn’t it be that I just disliked you from the start? For example, your personality just particularly annoys me.”
