Chapter 643 - 226: The School Beauty Senior Who Committed Suicide (Request for Monthly Votes)_4
Chu Yanyan pursed her lips and stifled a laugh. "Haha, you silly girl. We’re sisters, let’s not flatter each other like this."
"By the way, where’s your boyfriend? Didn’t he say he was coming with you?"
Xia Zhijin shyly glanced at Li Yuan, who was parking the car. "He’s parking."
Following Xia Zhijin’s gaze, Chu Yanyan’s eyes landed on the brand-new BMW. Her gaze flickered for a moment, but she wasn’t particularly surprised.
After all, a man who would buy a luxury apartment of over two hundred square meters for a girlfriend he’d only known for a month had to be rich and powerful. For someone like that, driving a BMW actually seemed a bit low-key...
Just then, Li Yuan finished parking. He grabbed the wrapped laptop and got out of the car. He saw Xia Zhijin chatting with a tall girl and thought, That must be her cousin.
Li Yuan walked over to them. "Zhijin," he greeted, then turned his gaze to her cousin. When he saw her, Li Yuan froze, slightly stunned. He was overcome with a powerful sense of familiarity. It’s like I’ve seen her somewhere before.
Memories from his past life began to surge into his mind, flipping by like the pages of a picture book... Suddenly, he remembered something. In his previous life, toward the end of his first semester as a freshman, he’d heard news that a beautiful female junior had committed suicide by jumping from a building over relationship problems. At the time, the incident had caused a massive stir, and various detailed, seemingly credible rumors began to circulate. Some said she committed suicide in a fit of rage after her boyfriend cheated on her. Others claimed the campus beauty had been assaulted by several male students and chose to jump rather than suffer the humiliation. The stories varied, but someone with an agenda eventually leaked photos of the beautiful upperclassman. It caused a brief uproar on campus before the school administration forcefully suppressed the news, preventing it from spreading any further. He and his roommates at the time had even lamented how beautiful women so often meet tragic fates.
Li Yuan never would have imagined that the ill-fated beauty from back then could actually be Xia Zhijin’s cousin.
Chu Yanyan noticed her cousin’s boyfriend staring intently at her from the moment he laid eyes on her, and it made her feel a little embarrassed.
She knew she was pretty, but with her cousin right here, he shouldn’t be staring at her like that, should he?
Her cheeks flushed slightly as she quickly cleared her throat and spoke up. "Hello, I’m Chu Yanyan, Zhijin’s cousin."
Hearing Chu Yanyan’s voice, Li Yuan finally snapped back to reality. He gave her a deep, complicated look, then composed his shocked expression and greeted her with a smile. "Yanyan, hello. I’m Li Yuan, Zhijin’s boyfriend."
Chu Yanyan laughed. "I hear Zhijin talk about you all the time. You really are tall and handsome. Not bad, not bad at all."
Li Yuan glanced at Xia Zhijin and gave the precious, naive girl a nudge with his arm, shaking the laptop in his hand as a reminder.
At Li Yuan’s prompt, Xia Zhijin snapped out of her daze. She quickly took the gift from him and said shyly, "Yanyan, this is a gift Li Yuan bought for you."
Chu Yanyan stared at the wrapped gift box, surprised and delighted. She hadn’t expected her cousin’s boyfriend to be so considerate as to bring her a gift for their first meeting.
"As the older sister, I haven’t even gotten a gift for you two yet, and here you are giving me one." Chu Yanyan thanked them first before politely declining. "I appreciate the thought, but please, take it back."
Li Yuan smiled. "Yanyan, it’s just a small token of our appreciation for how you’ve always taken care of Zhijin. She’s told me about the past, and I’m really grateful to you. Otherwise, I would have missed out on her..."
