Chapter 764: Nainai’s Grievance
Although she tried to force herself to not dwell on it and that he had his reasons, she was still hit by an unprecedented blow, which was of a greater impact than any others she had experienced last time, when she heard “save the children.”
Later on, she had wondered if there were any misunderstandings in this incident, but she still felt bitter.
After she woke up, she had been speculating if he had visited her. However, when she saw him, a wave of grievance surged over her instantly and her nose stung.
Biting her lip, she had wanted to say something, but she suddenly widened her eyes and stared at the person in front of her in shock instead.
As he entered the bedroom, the light shone on his face. Then, Zhuang Nainai saw an unfamiliar face.
His eyes narrowed and formed a straight line. The pockmarks, which covered his face in dense distributions, were extremely ugly-looking. His eyes lit up for a moment when he saw her, but thereafter, his gaze just looked lost and turbid.
He looked at Zhuang Nainai.
When both of their eyes met, for a moment, Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt her heart stir unknowingly.
But this person… isn’t Si Zhengting. Who is he?
All of Zhuang Nainai’s grievances had turned into shock. As she stared at the person in front of her in disbelief, her eyes were still slightly red and her mouth was slightly agape. She had just woken up, so her face was ashen, without a tinge of a flush.
Just as she was in a state of shock, Su Yanbin dashed in from the living room. “Nainai, you woke up?”
His words snapped Zhuang Nainai out of her trance. She suddenly realized that she actually lost her composure in front of a stranger.
Hence, she lowered her head hurriedly to hide the grievance and vulnerability in her gaze. Then, she looked up again and stared at Pockmarked-Face in puzzlement.
After seeing Zhuang Nainai’s weird stare, Su Yanbin said quickly, “Don’t you remember him? He’s Xu Dazhi! He is the Pockmarked-Face in our cla.s.s when we were in high school! Do you remember him now? He was terribly bullied by Boss Si and me last time!”
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Nainai looked at Xu Dazhi again in confusion.
She slowly started to recall him. It seemed like there was indeed an invisible man called Xu Dazhi who always kept his silence in a corner back in high school. Due to the pockmarks on his face, he was rather insecure.
But…
Perhaps too much time had pa.s.sed, but she actually felt like this person did not resemble Xu Dazhi very much.
But if one were to say he did not resemble him…?
He still had a pair of slit eyes, a face full of pockmarks, and a slightly chubby face.
However, many things could change in the span of five years.
But was there something wrong with her eyes for her to have mistaken him for Si Zhengting?
Upon closer inspection, she found that Xu Dazhi’s movements were timid. As he lowered his head, he looked extremely reserved, like any other person whose rather unsuccessful life got exposed in front of high school cla.s.smates.
Zhuang Nainai laughed at herself. How could she see him as Si Zhengting?
From aura to disposition, the two of them were drastically different.
Furthermore, it was obvious that the jacket that Xu Dazhi was wearing was bought from a street stall. The st.i.tching of it was poorly done. Since when did Si Zhengting, who had an expensive body, wear this kind of clothes?!
She could still remember that she had bought a couple s.h.i.+rts for the two of them when they were in high school. She had forced Si Zhengting to wear it. However, in the end, Si Zhengting had developed an allergy, causing mild red patches to appear around his neck.
