Chapter 352: Childhood Nightmare

Bai Xue had many nightmares. In her dreams, she returned to junior high repeatedly and sat in the seat she was most familiar with. However, what she heard was not the sound of reading that should be on campus.
“Is her mother really a mistress? How can there be such a shameless woman?”
“It’s true. The last time I passed by her house, I happened to hear someone causing trouble. That auntie looks very rich and very beautiful. She’s worlds apart from her mother!”
“Huh? 1 thought she was a good person. I didn’t expect her to be such a person. Perhaps her kindness in front of us in the past was all an act!”
“I heard that Xiao Feng even brought her home. Now that I think about it, could it be that she deliberately approached Xiao Feng to let her Mom hook up with a rich man again?”
“You don’t know this. Xiao Feng has a very handsome brother in her family!”
“All? I see!”
The endless discussion became a low moan in the snowy nightmare, pulling her soul back to that desperate dusk again and again.
“Xiao Feng is a very good girl. We used to be very good friends.” When Bai Xue said this, her face was filled with loneliness.
Su Tang didn’t dare to disturb her, but her grip on her shoulder tightened slightly.
Bai Xue smiled bitterly and continued, “Actually, it’s not that I’m not strong enough. I’ve told myself countless times not to take it to heart, but 1 can’t forgive the mistakes I made in the past.”
After school one day, Bai Xue went to the door of Xiao Feng’s class, as usual, to wait for her to go home. On the way, she ignored the students pointing at her.
She treated Xiao Feng as her best friend and believed that Xiao Feng would not despise her because of her family’s matters and was unwilling to continue interacting with her.
As expected, Xiao Feng did not take it to heart. Instead, she held her hand tightly and comforted her. “Don’t listen to their nonsense. I know what kind of person you are. Don’t worry, we will always be good friends.”
“Yes!” Bai Xue raised her beautiful face, looking dazzling under the evening light.
The two of them walked hand in hand to the entrance of the school building. Unexpectedly, it started to rain heavily outside.
Xiao Feng took off her school uniform jacket and covered their heads. She smiled and said, “There’s no choice this time. My house is slightly closer. Go to my house first.”
Bai Xue thought of what those people had said during the day and was about to reject her, but when she saw Xiao Feng’s trusting smile, she hurriedly shook her head and expelled those words from her mind.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They bravely stepped into the rain side by side. Even though their clothes were completely drenched by the rain, it did not stop them from moving forward together.
Until an umbrella was held above their heads.
Bai Xue looked up along the man’s thin finger bones. Her gaze passed the black umbrella handle and landed on the owner’s narrowed peach blossom eyes.
Little Feng called out “Brother” sweetly and pulled Bai Xue into the umbrella. “This is good. We don’t have to continue to be drenched in the rain!”
Although it was good to have an umbrella, it was still too crowded for the three of them. Bai Xue dodged to the side uncomfortably and said, “I don’t need it. I’m already drenched anyway. Go home with your brother quickly. 1’11 run back myself.”
“How can that do? It’s still a long way from your house!” Xiao Feng reached out to pull her back to her side.
Unexpectedly, Bai Xue took another step out. Unfortunately, she stepped on a protruding stone.
The stones that had been washed by the rain were especially wet and slippery. The snow fell back uncontrollably. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, a pair of strong arms grabbed her in time.
“Be careful.” The young man hurriedly pulled her back under the umbrella, but with this movement, the umbrella in his hand tilted slightly for a moment, and the rain mercilessly drenched half of his shoulder.
Bai Xue was stunned as she was pulled into his arms. Her nose touched the young man’s hard chest, and the fragrance of soap suddenly entered her nose.
The hot temperature on her wrist was still flowing over. She immediately broke free from his hand as if she had been scalded and hurriedly lowered her head to admit her mistake.
The young man smiled indifferently and turned his head to hide the smile on his lips. He said calmly, “Let’s go. If we stay any longer, the three of us will be drenched.”
Xiao Feng also comforted her. “That’s right. Listen to my brother. When we get to my house, 1’11 find you a set of my clothes to change into. Otherwise, you’ll catch a cold.”
“Alright.” Bai Xue could not refuse. She could only endure the heat on her face and try her best to stand as far away from the young man as possible. However, every time she took a step out, the young man would extend his arm and pull her back under the umbrella with a smile.
After going back and forth, she could not continue to struggle. She could only follow the two of them home with a flushed face.
Xiao Feng brought her back to her room and found her a towel. “I’ll take a shower first. I’ll come and change with you later. If you’re cold, wait under the blanket.”
“Okay.” Bai Xue nodded in agreement. After they left, she helplessly took off her wet clothes, but she forgot to lock the door.
When the young man pushed the door open and entered, she was naked and looked into the young man’s eyes awkwardly..
