Chapter 72 - Against The World (2)

It was late at night, Lu Qingfeng was already on his bed, seated while reading something on his tablet when the door of his room creaked and Su Xiaofei entered, dressed in her light blue pyjamas. She wordlessly laid on the bed next to him and stared blankly at the ceiling above them.

"What are you doing here?" He asked, but wasn\'t surprised at all.

When they were younger, they used to sleep on the same bed together, with Su Xiaofei helping him to fall asleep by humming a lullaby for him. So whenever they had a sleepover, it benefitted Lu Qingfeng the most because it only meant a good night\'s sleep for him, which would likely make him less cranky the following day.

However, what their families didn\'t know was that Su Xiaofei was also able to calm her temperament whenever she was with Lu Qingfeng. If not for the Su family moving to a new residence, they would still be neighbors to this day.

Because of his chronic insomnia since his parents\' death, Lu Qingfeng\'s grandfather tried to find several ways to help him get treated, but no one had expected that young Su Xiaofei would be able to lure him to sleep on the first night they slept together as children.

"Just trying to clear my mind." Su Xiaofei replied, not breaking her gaze on the ceiling.

Su Xiaofei was a little ashamed of her sudden outburst earlier, but she couldn\'t do anything about it. Since her rebirth, her regret and resentment filled her entirety, as if what drove her to stay alive was only her revenge. However now, she realized that she should own her life this time and also take this as a chance to live her life to the fullest with her loved ones.

Lu Qingfeng didn\'t mention anything about her outburst earlier, and neither did he question her about it.

"You know, Xiaofei, you should stop doing this. We aren\'t young kids anymore." He said after a long silence between them.

"Why?" Su Xiaofei asked, finally turning her head to look at him. She didn\'t think that he would be bothered by this, considering this wasn\'t the first time they shared the same bed to sleep.

Perhaps it was because she was a twenty eight-year-old woman, trapped in an eighteen-year-old body, that she perceived Lu Qingfeng as a kid and not a teenager who could be influenced by his changing hormones.

Lu Qingfeng pressed his lips into a thin line and frowned. Did he really need to explain to her why? Shouldn\'t it be obvious by now? As an 18 year old, Su Xiaofei was already old enough to be aware of things like this.

"Because it\'s inappropriate. What would people say if they know that you are sneaking in here to sleep with me?" He countered, hoping that she would understand what he was trying to imply.

"We\'re just going to sleep, not sleep with each other." Su Xiaofei laughed at that, her eyes returning to the ceiling. "And it\'s not like you are going to take advantage of me."

She wasn\'t looking at Lu Qingfeng, so Su Xiaofei didn\'t see the sudden change in his expression. His usual cold countenance was replaced with darkening eyes, the desire that appeared in them could only be extinguished by the woman next to him.

Lu Qingfeng shut his eyes and reeled his emotions in check. He didn\'t think Su Xiaofei knew the gravity of her actions or her words towards him. How can he not fall for her if her actions were giving him ideas about it?

"Come on, how can you sleep when you don\'t turn off your devices on time? You should be thanking me for sleeping next to you tonight." Su Xiaofei gave him a pointed look, gesturing to him to lie down next to her and sleep.

Lu Qingfeng sighed and did as he was told. He placed his tablet on the nightstand, dimmed the lights and laid down on the bed, making sure that there was a safe distance between them. He made a mental note to make sure his door was locked at night, so she wouldn\'t be able to annoy him like this next time.

"Xiao Feng, do you think I was too ruthless to Ye Xing and her daughter?"

Her sudden question caught him off guard. Lu Qingfeng wasn\'t expecting to hear something like this from her. He cracked his eyes open and turned his head to look at her face.

"Do you?" He asked her in return. "Do you regret what you\'ve done?"

"No." Su Xiaofei\'s response was quick and sure. "I didn\'t regret it one bit. After all that they\'ve done to my mother, chasing them away isn\'t enough."

"If you aren\'t regretting it, then why are you asking me this question? Since when did Su Xiaofei care about what people think of her? The Su Xiaofei I know wouldn\'t care one bit about others\' opinion, as long as she was satisfied with her actions."

Su Xiaofei allowed herself to smile at that. Indeed, Lu Qingfeng knew her well. Even in the past, no matter how much others perceive her as the villainess, she relentlessly went head on and fought with Ye Mingyu.

"You are right. As long as I don\'t regret it, it doesn\'t matter what others say." She allowed herself to smile this time.

So what if she became more ruthless towards Ye Mingyu and her mother? Just thinking of all the things she had suffered in the past was enough to fuel her anger towards them. If she wavered now, then she had no doubt that Ye Mingyu would take advantage of the situation again, and she would be forced to face the same fate she had in her previous life.

Still, there were questions about Ye Mingyu that didn\'t sit well with her.. Ye Mingyu had forced an encounter between her and Feng Xue\'er, which was a little earlier from what Su Xiaofei remembered.
