Chapter 524: Truth 3

"Is that so!" Li Mengjie also spoke with a face full of longing, "It’s just a pity we can’t go back to the past now."

"Do you wish to go back to the past?" Ling Xuejiu suddenly blinked and asked somewhat peculiarly.

Li Mengjie said, "Of course I do, why wouldn’t I?"

Ling Xuejiu replied with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "But, you know, Leng Xuan wasn’t in the past."

"Huh?" Li Mengjie was stunned for a moment. If the past didn’t have the Cold Bodyguard, would she still be as happy as before if she returned? At this thought, she suddenly realized she had been led into a trap by Xue Jiu, and her face turned red. However, she wasn’t particularly embarrassed and instead teased with a giggle, "Xue Jiu, do you want to go back to the past?"

"Hmm?" Ling Xuejiu pursed her lips and pretended to be tough, "Of course I do. I don’t like Leng Xuan, so it doesn’t matter whether he’s there or not if I go back."

"Hmm~! Really?" Li Mengjie chuckled and said, "Hey, Xue Jiu, I didn’t mention the Cold Bodyguard, so why bring him up? Isn’t this a case of saying one thing but meaning another? Hehe, you clearly like the Cold Bodyguard; otherwise, why do you always talk about him?"

Ling Xuejiu’s face also turned red at Li Mengjie’s words, but she retorted, "Hmph, when have I always been talking about him? At least I mention him far less than you do, okay?"

Li Mengjie said, "So what you mean is, I like the Cold Bodyguard a bit more than you do, but you like him too, is that it?"

"You naughty girl, I’m not talking to you anymore. Sleep!" Unable to win the argument with Li Mengjie, Ling Xuejiu turned away, pretending to go to sleep.

"Hehe! Xue Jiu, didn’t you say we were going to have a heart-to-heart?" Li Mengjie was far from sleepy now. If Xue Jiu went to sleep, she would be unbearably bored, so she brought up the topic again.

"Hmm?" Reminded by Li Mengjie, Ling Xuejiu also remembered their earlier conversation and turned back, saying, "Alright then, what heart-to-heart shall we talk about?"

Li Mengjie said, "Same old rules! Each person asks a question, and it must be answered. If not, there will be a certain punishment..."

Ling Xuejiu said, "Alright, but what’s the punishment this time?"

It seemed Li Mengjie had thought this through already, as she giggled and said, "This time, the punishment is, if someone doesn’t answer, then that person has to confess to Leng Xuan?"

"Hmm?" Ling Xuejiu was taken aback and rolled her eyes in annoyance. The thought of confessing to Leng Xuan was worse than being killed, and she firmly said, "No way. Naive girl, what a rotten idea. Humph, like I would ever confess to him. Moreover, I don’t even like him, so why would I confess?"

"So boring!" Li Mengjie complained with a bored expression, "Could it be, Xue Jiu, that there are some truths you’re afraid to tell me?"

"What do you mean? There’s nothing I’m afraid to tell you," Ling Xuejiu retorted with a pout.

"There you have it," Li Mengjie seriously continued her ploy, "If you’re brave enough to say anything to me, why worry about confessing to the Cold Bodyguard?"

"Hmm?" Ling Xuejiu thought about it and convinced herself, ’As long as I answer everything, I won’t be punished or have to confess to Leng Xuan,’ and so she said, "Fine, I agree. But I have one condition, and that is, you can’t ask me anything about Leng Xuan." In her view, as long as Xiao Jie didn’t ask whether she liked Leng Xuan, there was nothing she’d be afraid to say.
