A pampered young lady from a wealthy family is reborn, choosing a rich wife over a rich man.

Chapter 048 The White-Clad Youth, Tear of Silk and Clear Strings

Meng Zhixue's job with Xie Wei was to play with the children, and according to the contract, she worked six days a week and had one day off.

There are two nannies taking care of Zhuangzhuang. There is no specific rule for her working hours each day. She can decide based on the situation. She works about eight hours a day.

After thinking it over, Meng Zhixue and Bai Xue agreed to meet at the Blues Cafe the next day at noon.

Since it's a paid service, she's still very motivated.

……

The next day.

It's another crisp autumn day.

In just one night, the golden sycamore leaves once again covered the grass, their varying shades of color reflecting the warmth of the sunlight.

Meng Zhixue walked onto the balcony, stretched lazily, and breathed in the fresh morning air.

She caught a glimpse of a white figure out of the corner of her eye. Unfazed, she turned her head to look at it curiously, but her expression suddenly changed.

The pale, handsome young man in white did not sit under the tree listening to the wind as usual, but instead knelt on the ground, his hands groping helplessly on the ground.

A white white cane lay not far behind him, and a few meters away, a silver ribbon was being blown away by the wind, gradually moving further and further away from him.

It was such a short distance, a distance that an ordinary person could walk in a few steps, but to him it felt like an insurmountable chasm.

He looked so lost and vulnerable, his face smeared with dirt, unaware that his clothes were covered in mud. It was heartbreaking to see him like that.

Meng Zhixue had only been secretly observing him and was particularly curious about him before, but today she couldn't help but lean on the balcony railing and call out, "Hey, handsome, do you need any help?"

The young man in white paused, tilted his head slightly, and turned his ear toward her.

Meng Zhixue asked again, "I live next door to you, um... do you need my help?"

She had observed that Xie Wei's villa and the villa next door were connected, with a wooden door in the middle that was bolted from one side; she could just open the door to get through.

She once asked Xie Wei, who said that the villa next door also belonged to the Xie family... So the young man in white living there must also be a member of the Xie family, right?

The young man in white seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded.

Meng Zhixue smiled, turned around and ran downstairs.

As she passed through the gate between the two courtyards, she was momentarily stunned when she stood before the young man in white and saw him up close for the first time.

There's nothing else to it, mainly because he looks just too much like Xie Lingfeng.

Besides their vastly different temperaments, they also have some subtle differences in appearance, so you can tell at a glance that they are related by blood.

She even suspected that the young man in white in front of her was Xie Lingfeng in disguise.

"Hello?" the young man in white asked tentatively, his voice clear and resonant, like the sound of a mountain stream.

It was completely different from Xie Lingfeng's voice, which always carried a gloomy tone.

"..." Meng Zhixue realized what was happening and quickly picked up the silver ribbon from the ground, handing it to him. "Is this what you're looking for?"

"Yes." The young man in white gave a shy, relieved smile. "Thank you."

He raised his hand and skillfully tied the silver ribbon over his eyes.

Meng Zhixue looked at him curiously.

Previously, she thought the young man was wearing a silver ribbon over his eyes to pose and look cool.

But now, it seems this silver ribbon is very important to him?

It seems to be a form of protection?

"Are you curious?" the young man in white suddenly asked, his pale lips slightly upturned. "My eyes can't stand light; it stings when they are exposed to it. So, if I want to enjoy the sunlight during the day, I need to protect them."

Meng Zhixue looked at him with sympathy: "So that's how it is."

She picked up the white white cane from the ground and handed it to him: "This is for you too."

The young man said, "Thank you."

"No need, no need," Meng Zhixue waved her hands repeatedly, then asked curiously, "Do you live here alone? Is it inconvenient for you? If you need any help in the future, just call me. If I'm here, I'll come right away."

The young man smiled again and said gently, "I hope I won't trouble you again."

Meng Zhixue: "...Oh."

She realized she had stayed in the courtyard for too long and disturbed others, so she quickly said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Goodbye."

The young man in white responded with a faint smile.

Meng Zhixue walked back, turning back every few steps.

She suddenly realized that the villa where the young man in white was located was like a magnificent cage, imprisoning him in this small world.

It was like the golden birdcage that had once trapped her.

She couldn't help but feel more curious about him, and even had the urge to pull him out of his boundless loneliness.

But she quickly shook her head, dismissing those thoughts.

She had to meet Bai Xue at noon. She was already struggling to resolve the complicated relationship between Zhou Yu and Bai Xue, so how could she possibly have the mind to take care of someone else?

Let's focus on what's in front of us first.

……

Lunch.

Meng Zhixue used serving chopsticks to place a piece of red date and yam cake on Zhuangzhuang's airplane meal tray, when Xie Wei said, "Xiaoxue, I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Meng Zhixue nodded. "Go on."

"It's like this..." Xie Wei said shyly but happily, "Yu Xuechen and I are planning to go on vacation abroad, as a belated honeymoon, so I'll have to ask you to take care of Zhuangzhuang."

"That's great news!" Meng Zhixue's eyes lit up as she asked gossipily, "Hmm... has your relationship progressed?"

At least last night's commotion was quite intense.

Xie Wei was amused by her excited expression and nodded, blushing, "Mm."

"Did you listen to me and force a kiss on him last night?" Meng Zhixue asked in a low voice, then added mischievously, "Want me to teach you some more tips to improve your relationship with your husband?"

She has so many ideas!

"Stop talking and think about how you're going to deal with Bai Xue later," Xie Wei countered. "We're not home. If you have an emergency you can't handle, just call Ling Feng. I've already spoken to him."

Meng Zhixue's face fell immediately: "I'll remember that."

Xie Wei found it amusing: "He was a real jerk before, but I've already told him off, and he won't bully you anymore."

"Hmm." Meng Zhixue felt a headache coming on at the thought of possibly having to deal with Xie Lingfeng, but she was curious about something else. "Sister Xie Wei, who lives in the villa next door? I see him every morning. Hmm, he looks a lot like Xie Lingfeng."

Xie Wei's expression stiffened, and she composed herself, saying somewhat ambiguously, "He's kind of like a younger brother, I suppose."

Sensing that Xie Wei didn't want to talk about this, Meng Zhixue tactfully stopped talking and considerately changed the subject.

However, my curiosity about the young man in white has quietly grown stronger.

After lunch, it was time to meet Bai Xue.

After greeting Xie Wei, Meng Zhixue quickly walked towards the Blues Cafe.

Before she even reached the door, she saw Bai Xue dressed in white sitting by the window in the cafe, her head tilted back, gazing absently at the falling leaves, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

The snow is beautiful, both beautiful and ethereal.

What should have been a delightful scene suddenly gave way to a discordant thought in Meng Zhixue's mind.

Compared to the young man in white sitting under the tree, she actually felt that white clothes didn't suit Bai Xue as much.

Looking back, when she first saw the young man in white, she had only one thought in her mind: "Except for your snow-white robes, who else in the world is worthy of wearing white?"
