Chapter 488: Wrong Person
“Behave if you are aware!” Zhen Li glared at her in disdain. She took out a wet tissue and wiped her fingers, as though touching her made her feel disgusted.
Even though she had been with her for half a year, every time she saw her yellow, tanned, freckled face, she felt like her eyes had been tainted.
“Yes, I’m your person, Sister Li. I won’t forget your kindness or help.” The a.s.sistant’s tone was sincere.
When Zhen Li heard the compliment, regardless of whether it was sincere or not, her mood improved a lot. She moved closer and helped her adjust her clothes affectionately before smiling. “Okay, go buy me milk tea!”
“Yes, Sister Li,” the a.s.sistant replied nervously. Then, she endured the pain in her leg and walked away as though nothing had happened.
By the time she reached a place where no one was around, the pain was unbearable. Only then did she limp forward. She warned herself in her heart that she could not get close to Ling Sheng and the people around her. She could not eat the food provided by her fans. It would be best if she did not even look!
Zhou Zhou happened to walk in when he saw the girl limping forward. He hurried over and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Are you alright?”
The junior a.s.sistant looked up in surprise. Upon seeing the person in front of her, she struggled free nervously and shook her head hurriedly. “I’m fine, I’m fine.”
He was Ling Sheng’s a.s.sistant. She had seen him drive her over in the morning, but he’d seemed to have something to do, so he had driven away.
“Yu Cai!” Zhou Zhou shouted as he watched her run away. Then, he saw the girl’s body stiffen suddenly. She stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him in panic.
The junior a.s.sistant did not know why he knew her name. This was not her name anymore. It had been many years ago. Besides, no one should be able to recognize her now. She just pretended not to understand anything and turned to leave with clumsy footsteps.
“I’m Zhou Zhou.” Zhou Zhou did not know why she was pretending not to know him, but it seemed as though she was hiding from something. He frowned. “In middle school, I was that tanned fatty who had a crush on you and even wrote you a love letter.”
“You’ve got the wrong person. I’m not her.” The junior a.s.sistant held her fingers tightly, pretending not to know anything as she kept walking.
She remembered Zhou Zhou. He had fought for her, risked his life, and been hospitalized. Later, she had heard from her cla.s.smates that he’d had 18 st.i.tches in his head.
In junior high, she had been the school belle. She’d had an enviable appearance, a good family background, and outstanding grades. Many people had liked her, and she had received many gifts and love letters every day.
In the beginning, she had not been aware that a boy had a crush on her. He would look at her secretly every day and escort her home quietly. One day, she had been stopped by a group of hooligans on the way and gotten dragged into the forest.
The boy had dashed out. He had been very tanned and fat, but he’d also been very tall. He had fought with the hooligans and helped her escape.
At the time, she had been extremely scared, so she had left. The next day, she had wanted to go and see him. Her cla.s.smates had said that he had been injured in a fight and had been hospitalized with 18 st.i.tches in his head.
She had gone to the hospital to see him, but she had not had the courage to face him. She had not even had the courage to thank him. She had felt sorry, but she had memorized his face.
Before she had been able to muster up the courage to wait for him to come to school to apologize and thank him, she had heard someone say that he had transferred to another school. He had even asked someone to give her a beautiful diary and wish her a happy birthday.
