Chapter 22: Meeting Again

Who… was that person?

Who is she?

Why did she have contact with Bai Yu?

Lovia’s eyes suddenly became somewhat hollow.

At this moment, she had an urge in her heart to ask Bai Yu who that unfamiliar girl was, and why Bai Yu had contact with her.

Furthermore, what had Bai Yu actually done during that time she left the clothing store?

Besides buying milk tea and resolving the dangers unknown to Lovia, what else had happened to make her have contact with a strange girl?

The moment she thought about Bai Yu having contact with another strange girl when she wasn’t looking, it felt as though a sharp thorn had pierced Lovia’s heart, causing her immense discomfort.

Without understanding the full story, perhaps this thorn would never be removed from the depths of her heart.

However, in her subconscious, she still trusted Bai Yu.

After all, they were lovers before; it was impossible for Bai Yu to abandon her alone and sneak off to see another strange girl.

So, it must be because of that girl, and Bai Yu was forced to have contact with her.

It must be like that.

I need to know who that girl is…

Lovia didn’t understand why such emotions had suddenly surfaced in her heart.

Even though Bai Yu was right by her side, she felt somewhat uneasy, somewhat afraid… afraid that Bai Yu would suddenly leave her, afraid that Bai Yu would be snatched away by someone else.

She wanted to ask Bai Yu who that person was and what had happened between them.

Just as she was about to speak, Bai Yu suddenly turned her head to look at her.

“Lovia, is the milk tea good? I saw you seemed to be spacing out the whole time. Was it perhaps not to your liking? Do you want to change it for another cup?”

She raised her head and saw the concern flowing within those beautiful purple eyes.

The words Lovia had originally intended to speak were swallowed back down the moment they reached her lips.

Bai Yu was still so gentle, noticing her abnormality immediately.

If she were to ask Bai Yu now, would Bai Yu think she was doubting her?

Hearing that would make Bai Yu sad, wouldn’t it?

Bai Yu had clearly chosen to leave to fight those unknown dangers just to protect her.

If she knew that the person she risked danger to protect was doubting her behind her back, she would definitely be very sad and heartbroken.

Although Bai Yu might not say anything out loud and would explain to her roughly what happened, her heart would definitely be very sad.

Bai Yu had already done a lot for her, and she had been accepting Bai Yu’s care.

If she made Bai Yu sad, that would be a bit too improper.

Think about it carefully.

Perhaps that strange girl was someone Bai Yu encountered while handling the danger.

She must have had contact with her because she had to save that girl who encountered danger.

It must be like that.

Bai Yu is so gentle; seeing someone in danger, she definitely wouldn’t stand by and watch.

Therefore, she must have gotten the scent belonging to that strange girl on her when she saved her.

Thinking of this, Lovia could feel the thorn stuck in her heart soften significantly; that uncomfortable feeling was gone.

No matter what, she and Bai Yu were lovers in the past.

Bai Yu would absolutely not abandon her and sneak off to see another strange girl. Absolutely not!

Putting her thoughts in order, looking at the concern within those purple eyes, Lovia shook her head gently.

“No, the milk tea is very good. I like it very much.”

“I’m glad you like it, Lovia.”

As she spoke, she noticed Bai Yu’s gaze falling upon the milk tea in her hands, a hint of nostalgia appearing within those gentle eyes.

“I knew you would like it, Lovia.”

Saying this, she seemed to enter a memory, her gaze becoming even softer.

“In the past, when we went out shopping, you always liked to order this flavor.”

Eh? Is this flavor her favorite from the past? Hmm… it really is very delicious.

Listening to Bai Yu, Lovia was somewhat dazed for a moment.

She stared at the milk tea in her hand, attempting to retrieve past memories, but unfortunately, she still couldn’t remember anything.

It seemed the symptoms of her amnesia were even more severe than she thought.

Even though she had spent the entire morning walking along many roads they had walked before and heard many stories that happened in the past, those past memories failed to awaken her sealed memories; she still couldn’t remember anything.

“Sorry… I still don’t remember.”

“It’s okay, Lovia. You are still the same as before; even though you lost your memories, many things haven’t changed.”

Saying this, Bai Yu suddenly reached out to tuck away a few strands of hair that had been ruffled by the wind, her face filled with an indulgent expression.

“To me, regardless of whether you remember the past or not, Lovia is Lovia. Whether it’s the current Lovia or the past Lovia, you are the most important existence to me.”

Bai Yu wasn’t lying when she said that.

After all, Bai Yu had to rely on Lovia to save her life.

How could she not be important to her?

Hearing her words, Lovia seemed to fall into silence.

But soon, the young girl raised her head again, those eyes that had once been somewhat dim recovering their brightness.

Although she didn’t know what was wrong with Lovia just now—she looked like she was in a bad mood—after hearing her words, Lovia seemed to look much better.

“Bai Yu… thank you. It’s really good to have you here.”

Whew… it seems her mood should have thoroughly recovered.

Not only that, but she also brushed up on her favorability rating smoothly; this was simply an unexpected gain.

“No need to say thank you to me. Alright, we’ve shopped for so long; are you hungry now, Lovia?”

Lovia nodded gently; she was indeed a bit hungry now.

“Alright, I know a restaurant nearby that tastes very good. Let’s go.” “Mm.”

Looking at the back of the girl walking ahead, Lovia nodded gently.

Perhaps she was just being too sensitive.

In the future, she mustn’t let her thoughts run wild again.

Otherwise, if Bai Yu found out, she might be sad.

…………………………

“Eh…”

Bai Yu brought Lovia to the front of the restaurant, but to her surprise, a “Closed for Business” sign was hanging on the door.

What’s going on?

How could it suddenly be closed for business?

That being the case, there was no choice but to bring Lovia to find another place.

“Sorry, Lovia. Today seems a bit unlucky; it happened to be closed for business when we arrived.”

Bai Yu smiled somewhat awkwardly.

After all, on the way here, she had boasted to Lovia about how great this shop tasted, really raising her expectations.

As a result, upon arriving at the door, she found it closed.

Now, Lovia, whose appetite had been whetted, must be feeling a little disappointed.

Turning around, the expression on Lovia’s face hadn’t changed much.

“It’s okay, let’s go to another one.”

There was one thing she couldn’t bring herself to say: to her, as long as she was eating with Bai Yu, it didn’t matter which restaurant they went to.

“Then let me see; there should be a few other places nearby that taste quite good.”

Just as she was about to take Lovia elsewhere, Bai Yu suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice.

“Oh, Bai Yu, what a coincidence. We just said ‘we’ll meet again,’ and now we’re meeting again.”

Eh? No way…

Stiffening along with Bai Yu was Lovia.

When the blonde girl appeared, Lovia caught a familiar scent on her—it was exactly the same scent she had smelled on Bai Yu earlier.
