Reincarnated as her wicked older sister who has been cleansed up, she attracts a swarm of beastly hu

Chapter 138 Side Story: The Real World (3)

Xin Yuan's refusal was very strong. No matter what his friend said, he refused to go to Wen Li to ask for her contact information.

Wen Li realized that it was inappropriate for her to keep staring at the other person, so she looked away.

She tried not to overthink things and focused on choosing the cake in front of her.

As for asking Xin Yuan for his contact information, Wen Li had no such thoughts at the moment.

The scene of being rejected by Bai Yanci was still vivid in her mind; he was already married.

Perhaps Xin Yuan in this world already has a partner?

Suppressing her complex emotions, Wen Li finished selecting the cakes in front of her and prepared to pay the bill.

Her gaze shifted, and the exquisite mille-feuille pastry in the distance caught her eye.

Wen Li remembered that this shop was particularly famous for its mille-crepe cakes.

Since we're already here, why not buy one to take home and try? Wen Li thought.

At this point, only two cakes remained on the shelf.

Wen Li moved swiftly and arrived in front of the shelf.

In the short time she was there, only a few seconds, someone had already taken one of the thousand-layer cakes.

Now only one remains.

As Wen Li picked up the clips, preparing to collect the last mille-feuille pastry in front of her, another clip appeared in her field of vision.

As luck would have it, their clips bumped into each other.

Wen Li was startled.

She glanced to the side and was caught off guard when she met a pair of familiar eyes.

It is Xin Yuan.

Wen Li and Xin Yuan looked at each other, clearly both eyeing the last piece of thousand-layer cake.

"..."

Xin Yuan looked at Wen Li, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping, and Wen Li didn't know what to say either.

After waiting for a while without hearing anything from him, Wen Li looked away.

She pretended not to see anything, then picked up the mille-feuille cake in front of her and prepared to leave.

Xin Yuan suddenly spoke up: "That..."

Wen Li subconsciously looked over at him.

Undeniably, her heart skipped a beat upon hearing Xin Yuan's voice.

Familiar with.

Even the voices are exactly the same.

The tone of voice was also like that.

Wen Li truly believed that the person in front of her was Xin Yuan.

"what's up?"

She stared at him intently, a ripple of emotion stirring within her.

I also started to uncontrollably anticipate what he would say.
Is there any possibility that he might remember her?
can you?

Under Xin Yuan's gaze, Wen Li's heart beat faster and faster.

Finally, Xin Yuan's lips moved.

The words he uttered left Wen Li speechless, yet also somewhat expected.

Xin Yuan asked, "Can I have it?"

"..." Wen Li paused for a moment.

She lowered her eyes, staring at the mille-feuille cake that had already been placed on the plate.

"this one?"

Wen Li checked it again.

Xin Yuan nodded, a hint of expectation flashing in his eyes. "Yes, is that alright?"

Wen Li smiled.

Laughing angrily.

It turns out that Xin Yuan initiated the conversation with her simply to ask if he could have the cake...

Wen Li didn't know how to describe her complicated feelings at that moment.

I felt a little disappointed, a little amused, and yet... it was all expected.

It has to be said that the boy in front of her really looks like Xin Yuan, and the two also have similar tastes in food, which made Wen Li hallucinate Xin Yuan once again.

"May I?"

Wen Li remained silent for a long time, so Xin Yuan asked again.

The cake is on sale today, and it's the last one. Xin Yuan really wants it.

If Wen Li doesn't allow it, Xin Yuan will have to wait until tomorrow to buy it.

He came here specifically for the cake, but he was still a step too late.

This shopping mall is far from their school, so it's not convenient for them to come here.

Meeting Xin Yuan's expectant gaze, Wen Li couldn't bear to refuse.

"Okay, here you go."

Wen Li picked up a piece of cake from her plate and gave it to Xin Yuan.

She didn't particularly want to eat this; it was optional.

Considering that the other party looks like Xin Yuan, it wouldn't hurt to give it to him.

Xin Yuan's eyes lit up the moment he saw Wen Li nod.

"Thank you!" he said excitedly.

Wen Li smiled at him, "It's nothing."

Wen Li turned and walked towards the checkout counter.

Next to the checkout counter was a crystal display case filled with all sorts of exquisite cakes.

Wen Li's gaze was quickly drawn to the exquisite and beautiful cake inside.

She lingered between the strawberry cake and the chocolate cake.

I'm seriously agonizing over which one to choose.

Wen Li didn't even notice the dark figure that had appeared beside her.

She assumed the other person was a customer like her, ready to choose a cake.

Until that familiar voice rang out:
"This cake is delicious."

A long, slender index finger appeared in Wen Li's line of sight, pointing to the fig cake next to the strawberry cake.

Wen Li looked at the other person in surprise.

It was Xin Yuan.

"Okay, thank you."

Wen Li asked the shop assistant for a fig cake and then prepared to pay.

As for Xin Yuan, after saying those words to her, he went to other places to choose.

Wen Li spent quite a bit this time, and the shop assistant recommended the store's prepaid card to her, which offered rebates.

In the past, Wen Li wouldn't have considered these things.

Things are different now; she has money.

Wen Li topped up a prepaid card with 1,000 yuan. After paying, she glanced at Xin Yuan not far away.

“He’ll come to settle the bill in a bit and deduct it from my card,” Wen Li said.

The shop assistant nodded upon hearing this, "Okay."

Wen Li walked out of the cake shop.

Xin Yuan caught a glimpse of her back through the glass and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

He could always sense a familiar feeling about her.

But they had clearly never met.

What are you looking at?

A hand landed on Xin Yuan's shoulder; his missing friend had appeared out of nowhere.

The other party was quite perceptive; following Xin Yuan's gaze, they immediately noticed Wen Li.

"You've been staring at her the whole time. I told you she's a real beauty," her friend laughed.

Xin Yuan gave a muffled "hmm".

"Have you fallen for her?" your friend teased. "That's why I told you to ask her for her contact information. If you had, she would definitely have given it to you!"

"You're the school's most handsome guy, I believe in you!"

Xin Yuan ignored his friend and went to pay the bill with his own things.

While waiting, the image of that light green figure would still flash through his mind.

Wen Li wore a light green dress today, a rather eye-catching color that suited her very well.

"Please take this."

After the shop assistant finished packing the cake, he handed the bag to Xin Yuan.

"How much?" Xin Yuan asked. The shop assistant smiled and explained, "The lady in the green dress has already paid for you."

Xin Yuan was taken aback.

His friend standing next to him stared in astonishment.

"That stunningly beautiful woman?"

The shop assistant also acknowledged Wen Li's good looks, nodding, "It's her."

Xin Yuan's friend nudged him, "I knew she was interested in you! She even paid for your meal!"

“However…” Her friend looked outside with envy and jealousy, but Wen Li was no longer in sight. “She’s already gone.”

Upon hearing this, Xin Yuan glanced outside, a vague sense of loss washing over him.

After leaving the cake shop, Wen Li took a taxi back to the hotel.

It was already quite late when we arrived at the hotel.

Wen Li took the elevator directly to the top floor.

Stepping out of the elevator, the corridor was decorated in a low-key yet luxurious style, and it was unusually quiet because there were hardly any people around.

Wen Li followed the route she remembered towards the suite. Just as she was about to turn the corner, she overheard a conversation.

Her steps came to a halt.

"I told you I'm not interested in you."

The deep, magnetic male voice that rang out came from a great distance, and Wen Li felt it was somewhat familiar.

Following that voice was a slightly shrill female voice, carrying an arrogant air.

"It doesn't matter if you're not interested in me. Just agree to the marriage, and then we can each do our own thing," the woman said casually.

The man merely sneered upon hearing this: "Why should I insist on a marriage alliance with you?"

"You!" The woman was hurt by his merciless words. "Don't push your luck!"

“That’s also Grandpa’s idea,” the woman continued, “Do you think I just want to marry you?”

“I respect Grandpa Song, but that doesn’t mean I have to marry you,” the man’s voice remained cold, which infuriated the woman.

"You, surnamed Zhu, how dare you treat me like this!" the woman exclaimed angrily.

The man remained unmoved: "How have I treated you? Can't you be reasonable? I've already said I won't marry you."

"Fine, you!" the woman stomped her foot. "I'm going to talk to Grandpa right now!"

As she finished speaking, her voice became increasingly shrill.

He then turned and walked towards Wen Li's direction.

The sound of footsteps, "tap tap tap," was gradually approaching.

Wen Li and the woman bumped into each other.

The other person's gaze fell on her, realizing what she had just heard. Their expression changed slightly, and after giving her a final glare, they turned and strode away.

Wen Li was completely baffled and more annoyed at being glared at so suddenly.

She didn't mean to listen.

The corridor is a public space too!

After the woman left, Wen Li turned the corner and prepared to return to her room.

She thought the man was gone, but she bumped into him right after she turned the corner.

Wen Li almost fell, but fortunately the other party caught her in time.

After Wen Li stopped, she quickly said, "Thank you."

The man's gaze fell on Wen Li, scrutinizing her.

Only then did Wen Li look up at him.

Upon seeing this, a storm of emotions surged within her—the man before her looked exactly like Zhu Yan.

Wen Li felt that her mind was probably in turmoil.

It's really strange that I keep seeing my fellow beastmen from the Beast World Continent one after another today.

She's only missing Shen Yihe and He Yan to see now.

After a moment of eye contact, the shock in Wen Li's eyes made the other person frown.

Wen Li realized this and quickly looked away.

The other person continued walking forward.

Wen Li began searching for her room using her room key.

After walking a few steps, she ran into the same man again.

As luck would have it, the spot where the other person was standing was right in her room.

Wen Li stopped in her tracks, and the man's gaze immediately fell upon her.

There were only two people in the corridor at this moment, and the other party could see Wen Li's every move.

"What is it?" the man asked, his voice still cold.

Wen Li then looked up at him.

I only glanced at it, then double-checked the house number.

Yes, this is her room.

Wen Li remained silent, which frustrated Zhu Yan.

The woman just stared at him with a complicated expression without saying a word, and Zhu Yan found Wen Li quite strange.

Wen Li pointed to the door behind him and whispered, "This is my room."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan glanced at the door number behind him, uttered an "Oh," and then stepped aside.

“I didn’t notice,” Zhu Yan said.

"It's nothing." Wen Li took out her room key, opened the door, and entered the room.

To her great surprise, Zhu Yan was still standing at the door.

She was too embarrassed to ask what the other person was planning to do, and simply pretended not to know anything about it.

Wen Li is now able to calmly face these men who look exactly like her beast husbands.

After returning to her room, Wen Li ate two bites of cake.

In order to be in good condition to meet Rong Qi tomorrow, she went to bed early.

Wen Li was quite tired after a busy day, and she fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.

However, on this night, some people are destined to be unable to sleep.

After meeting Wen Li, the men all had an extremely complicated dream that night.

In their dream, they became Wen Li's beast husbands, living a happy and joyful life on the Beast World continent.

However, at the most beautiful moment, the dream came to an abrupt end.

The moment Zhu Yan opened his eyes, all he could think of was Wen Li's familiar face.

Wen Li was completely unaware of this.

When Wen Li woke up the next day, she was full of energy and her skin looked great. The hotel had prepared breakfast for her.

After a quick wash and change of clothes, I went downstairs for breakfast.

As soon as I opened the door, I ran into Zhu Yan, who lived across the street.

Zhu Yan was still lost in the dream she had just experienced last night.

He dreamed about Wen Li that very night after meeting her yesterday.

Zhu Yan had no idea how long it had been since he had ever dreamed.
He finally managed to have a dream, but the woman who kept appearing in his dream was Wen Li, whom he had met briefly yesterday.

Zhu Yan was thoroughly tormented by this inexplicable dream when he suddenly saw Wen Li and was stunned.

Wen Li didn't expect to run into him here. She nodded in greeting and then prepared to go downstairs for breakfast.

Zhu Yan was just about to go downstairs for breakfast.

Wen Li stepped into the elevator, with Zhu Yan following closely behind.

No sooner had Wen Li entered the elevator than Zhu Yan arrived.

The elevator door slowly closed.

The air was filled with the scent of incense, and there were only two people in this small, enclosed space.

Wen Li felt both strange and uneasy, and couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yan beside her.

This feeling was so strange. She clearly remembered the other person; they had been so familiar with each other, yet Zhu Yan didn't remember her.

The elevator slowly descended, and neither of them spoke.

Where Wen Li couldn't see, Zhu Yan kept glancing at her out of the corner of his eye.

At this moment, Zhu Yan was absolutely certain that the woman who had repeatedly appeared in his dreams last night was this woman.

What he didn't understand was, why her?

He had never seen her before, nor did he know her. But after they met, she suddenly appeared in his dreams.

There were also many tender scenes in the dream.

Could it be some kind of evil magic?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yan pursed her lips.

Very strange, this person is very strange.

With a "ding," the elevator suddenly shook and then plunged into darkness.

Wen Li's mind went blank for a moment.

Is it malfunctioning?
