'So there was more to that incident.' Chu Yao truly hadn't known.
'Lu Xize beat up Xue Fan... was it because he, just like Qin Ningning, had overheard them talking about going after me?'
After so many years, looking back on those issues at her current age, Chu Yao didn't feel particularly scared. They were just little episodes from her youth.
The fact that Lu Xize had actually resorted to violence, though, was something Chu Yao found amusing. 'He must have done it for me. Mmm, he definitely did.'
Chu Yao didn't know where this confidence came from, but that's just what she believed. The thought that Lu Xize had once gotten violent with someone over her filled Chu Yao with a strange sense of satisfaction.
This feeling of satisfaction stayed with her, and she still had a smile on her face as she lay back down in bed.
Chu Yao had planned to wait for Lu Xize to return so she could ask him about it and tease him a little, but he hadn't come back by the time she fell asleep.
