Push Me Away When I Come, Don't Hold Me Back When I Leave - Chapter 138

Chapter 138: The Story and Reality

***

“By the way, I’ve seen a lot of news about you, not just about your personality, but in every aspect, you make me feel very disgusted,” Luo Qingxuan said while lightly resting her chin. “Now do you understand? I hate you simply because I can’t stand you. I don’t want someone like you to tarnish my favorite senior sister, so stop having strange dreams about people having superpowers, young lady.”

“No, you definitely have it,” Jiang Ruhua firmly said.

“Here we go again, Jiang Ruhua.” Luo Qingxuan put on an especially helpless expression. “How much drama have you added to yourself? Alright, alright, if you have any more stories, just make them up quickly, I’m all ears, okay?”

“Do you really think I’m making up stories?” Jiang Ruhua raised her eyebrows and asked while looking into Luo Qingxuan’s eyes.

“What else?” After a light chuckle, Luo Qingxuan asked Jiang Ruhua back, “Don’t tell me I should take it seriously and make a documentary about it? To tell the story of my legendary reborn experience?”

Jiang Ruhua pointed at the clock on the wall with her finger, then slowly spoke: “It’s very late now, isn’t it? It should have been past your closing time. With your personality, and the fact that your mind has been full of thoughts about hating me from the beginning, if you thought I was making up stories to waste your time, shouldn’t you have kicked me out and closed the door long ago? Why are you still sitting here listening to my stories so peacefully?”

“Doesn’t that only prove one thing? What I said was all true, and you’re just trying to find out how much I know, aren’t you?”

A shadow flashed through Luo Qingxuan’s eyes momentarily. She indeed hadn’t expected this childlike young lady to think so much, and she also regretted her previous miscalculation.

“The young lady’s inner world is really rich. I used to think TV dramas were made up, but today I see it’s really true,” Luo Qingxuan responded defiantly. “Do you think this is some novel, and you’re the second female lead? Even talking about being reborn? Even if you were really reborn, were you really that lucky to discover it?”

“It’s not luck, it’s reasoning, it’s logic. Have you played Werewolf Kill, Luo Qingxuan?” Jiang Ruhua’s lips curled up slightly. “How about this, if you think this story is made up, why don’t you show me out now? I absolutely won’t say another word.”

“No, your story is much more interesting than TV dramas. Since you put it that way, I actually want to hear what story you’ll make up next. Otherwise, going to sleep with such questions in mind, I really won’t be able to sleep,” Luo Qingxuan supported her chin with both hands’ backs, raised a smile, and met Jiang Ruhua’s gaze head-on without backing down.

“I hope you really think so,” Jiang Ruhua said with a smile.

“Well, before talking about why I think you can return to the past, let me tell you another story first, in case you don’t understand what I’m going to say next… provided that you really think this is just a story. If you’re thinking the same as what I guess, then I’ll have spoken for nothing.”

“The first time I met Xia Ruoming was when she was still in Chengdu High School.”

Hearing this, Luo Qingxuan frowned, because she clearly remembered that in her previous life, Jiang Ruhua had only met Xia Ruoming in university. She wasn’t so concerned about Xu Fengwu’s change because she thought it was her intervention that caused history to change, but from Jiang Ruhua’s words, it seemed the facts were somewhat different from what she thought, history hadn’t changed just a little.

“At that time, my brother said he wanted to donate to his alma mater and attend some outstanding student conference, and I tagged along for fun.”

“As soon as we arrived at the school, we heard that there was a female student who seemed to have already secured the top scholar position. When my brother learned about this at the student conference, he immediately reverted to his businessman nature and approached this ‘genius girl’ right away. It was then that I learned this genius girl was Xia Ruoming.”

“After my brother finished talking with her, I secretly went to take a look at her.”

“For some reason, at that time, I had a feeling like I had met her somewhere before, as if we were very familiar, but we were clearly meeting for the first time.”

“Perhaps it’s not quite right to say it this way, that feeling was like she had belonged to me, like… she had been my doll before.”

Hearing this, the disgust on Luo Qingxuan’s face clearly increased.

Yes, a doll, wasn’t senior sister just a doll to you in the previous life? Something that could be replaced with a new one when it got dirty, just something that could be discarded at any time.

“At that time, I did something particularly absurd. I told her I wanted to keep her as my mistress, um… of course, as expected, I was rejected, but I always felt like I had seen this scene somewhere before, as if I had done the same thing before.”

“After rejecting my request, Xia Ruoming instead proposed a bet to me. She borrowed 4 million from me, promising to return 10 million before August. If she couldn’t pay it back, she would become my mistress. I originally thought this would be extremely simple for me. Even if she found some particularly good investment project, I just needed to use a little manipulation, and that 4 million of hers would go down the drain.”

“But what I didn’t expect was that she actually paid back that money early, on the day we first met at Starry Sky Coffee Shop.”

Luo Qingxuan was stunned. This was a plot that never happened in the previous life. Even after university graduation, senior sister had lived quite miserably for a while, only getting through the particularly difficult initial period with help from Ji Chuan, He Ya, and some friends. Luo Qingxuan hadn’t understood why senior sister suddenly became very wealthy in this life, but now thinking about it, the answer should be in this story that Jiang Ruhua told.

However, how did senior sister turn 4 million into more than 10 million? She definitely wasn’t the type to just give away money. After returning 10 million to Jiang Ruhua, she should still have quite a bit of money left.

“I, who was desperate to have her, gave up my original plan to attend Sichuan University and, based on information from my investigation, followed her to Zhejiang University. The reason I think you’ve flowed back in time from the future is also because of what happened after this.”

“When I first arrived in Hangzhou, Xia Ruoming came to pick me up. She arranged for me to stay in her single dormitory, though she didn’t live there herself. The next day after she left, I suddenly got my period and was lying in bed feeling particularly uncomfortable.”

“When she came back to the dormitory and learned about the situation, she took me back to her villa.”

“Come to think of it… that day I even mocked her about why her villa was so small, but now I actually kind of miss it.”
