Chapter 22 Her Answer
Lanxi and I sat on the sofa while Shen Yizheng busied himself noisily in the kitchen.
The glow of the television reflected in both our eyes.
Yet I couldn’t stop stealing glances at her.
I still couldn’t understand how someone so good had once been with Shen Yizheng.
“You want to ask something?”
Lanxi noticed my hesitation.
I swallowed twice and asked softly, “Why did you break up with Shen Yizheng?”
Lanxi smiled with her lips pressed together. Her eyes looked bright.
“Because I don’t like men.”
“Ah?”
I was genuinely stunned. My pupils dilated.
“Did I scare you?”
Lanxi spoke with visible guilt, her lashes trembling. “So… will you start hating me from today?”
“How could I?” I explained hurriedly. “I actually think whoever gets to be liked by you is the luckiest person in the world.”
“You really think so?”
I nodded, wishing I could swear it.
“I’m very happy you said that.” Lanxi blinked. “Actually, I think Shen Yizheng doesn’t deserve you at all. He’s just an immature brat who never grew up.”
