Chapter 72: Song Wanrou: What Did I Do Wrong?

Song Mo took Xia Yu and Xia Rou out for dinner.

It was already evening.

Fortunately, the meal was nothing like Song Mo had imagined—he did not feel uneasy while eating.

Neither Xia Yu nor Xia Rou brought up their previous topic; the dinner was relatively relaxed and pleasant.

Song Mo drove the two girls back to school.

He then returned home.

From afar, he saw the house brightly lit.

Song Mo had just disarmed the door lock.

Then he heard a rapid series of "ding-ding-ding" footsteps.

Song Wanrou ran out from inside the house.

She was extremely delighted upon seeing Song Mo.

"Brother!"

"Where did you go? Why didn't you answer my call?"

Song Mo gave a slight nod.

"Nowhere."

"I went to shoot videos with Xia Yu and Xia Rou."

Song Mo gave no direct answer to Song Wanrou's question about why he hadn't answered the call.

His attitude was visibly cold.

It made Song Wanrou feel terrible.

Because at first, due to his inner resentment, Song Mo had treated her this same way.

Song Wanrou did not know what she had done wrong.

Song Wanrou asked cautiously:

"Brother, has something happened?"

Song Mo shook his head slightly and did not wish to say more.

He said simply:

"I'm going to take a shower first."

After showering, he would play the Piano, then read his math textbook, and finally sleep on time.

Song Wanrou was utterly confused.

But the change in his attitude was obvious.

Her heart felt as if a stone had suddenly been placed upon it.

Heavy, suffocating, hard to breathe.

"What exactly happened?"

Song Wanrou still wanted to communicate and resolve the issue; though Song Mo had not answered, her inner thoughts had given her the answer.

【Strange, wasn't Song Wanrou already hot and heavy with Chen Xi? According to the screenshots Leng Wanqiu sent, they'd already gone on dates—and apparently even slept together?】

【I barely even bother with her, yet she still thinks I'm chasing her? What an odd thing.】

Song Wanrou's face turned instantly pale.

She instantly understood the root of the problem!

It must be something wrong with Chen Xi!

Chen Xi must have done something suspicious, Leng Wanqiu must have noticed, and in a rage, Leng Wanqiu decided to expose her to Song Mo—so she fully backed up and forwarded Chen Xi's chat logs to Song Mo.

Song Wanrou felt a pain she could not voice.

Because to lure Chen Xi out and set a trap, Song Wanrou had naturally focused her chats on coaxing him out, making them highly purposeful.

But…

She was innocent!

Sometimes when chatting with Chen Xi, she'd found it troublesome and used AI to reply—never imagining she'd end up shooting herself in the foot.

She tightly pressed her lips.

Song Wanrou's mind raced.

She was thinking how to explain everything to Song Mo.

In the end, she made up her mind.

Rather than fabricating lies to prove her innocence and end up completely misunderstood, with her guilt forever unshakable, it was better to fully confess everything to Chen Xi.

Lay it all bare.

Whether he believed her or not, that was up to Chen Xi.

So, after Song Mo came out of the shower, Song Wanrou—who had been waiting—immediately approached him and showed him the notes on her phone.

There, it recorded Song Wanrou's plan.

"Brother, I want to confess something to you. Here's my phone—take a look yourself."

Song Wanrou's beautiful eyes fixed on Song Mo, both hands reaching forward to hand him her phone.

Song Mo slightly frowned.

He was also a little curious.

【Song Wanrou looks serious—what is she trying to show me?】

Chen Xi took the phone and carefully flipped through it.

He saw Song Wanrou's phone notes.

Inside was her entire plan to set a trap and frame Chen Xi.

There were also the chat records between Chen Xi and Song Wanrou.

As well as a message sent from an unfamiliar account to Song Wanrou.

The other side said, "Already took the bait."

Song Wanrou replied, "The bait has been cast."

So secretive and mysterious, it really did look like the real thing.

But as Chen Xi read more and more of it, shock and astonishment gradually surfaced in his eyes, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Song Wanrou.

Song Mo felt wary inside.

【Truly vicious! When she doesn't make a move, fine, but the moment she does, she plays a royal flush straight away. She and Chen Xi had no direct conflict to begin with—did she set the trap to frame Chen Xi because of me?】

Hearing that the evaluation Song Mo's inner voice gave her was actually "vicious," Song Wanrou instantly felt a wave of grievance—didn't he consider who she was doing all this for?

【A Song Wanrou who shields her own like this, I'm actually starting to appreciate her a little…】

Hearing that, Song Wanrou's face finally broke into a smile.

In her soft, gentle voice, she said: "Little brother, this person keeps disrupting your life over and over, it's really too annoying. Don't think your sister is being bad—in fact, your sister has been very restrained. It's because he harbored ill intentions himself that he ended up walking into the trap."

"You weren't really paying attention to your sister just now—were you sulking at your sister? It's your sister's fault for neglecting you these past two days, for not taking proper care of you."

"Now that I've told you the reason, can you forgive your sister?"

Song Wanrou's tone was sticky and clingy, as if it could be pulled into strings.

Like coaxing a child—anyone would find it a bit hard to bear.

Song Mo felt something was a little off.

But since he had misunderstood her earlier, Song Mo still held a trace of apology.

"Sister, you haven't done anything wrong—what is there to forgive or not forgive?"

Seeing that Song Mo truly didn't mind, the great stone in Song Wanrou's heart dropped completely, and she felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

So she began to settle scores after the fact.

Song Wanrou said through gritted teeth: "Since this Leng Wanqiu has been monitoring Chen Xi around the clock lately, she must certainly know the true situation of that night!"

"But she actually cut off the head and tail, deliberately trying to create a misunderstanding between me and you—her intentions are truly malicious. Little brother, you must not be blinded by her temporary flattery!"

"This woman has a very deep mind—who knows what schemes she's plotting!"

Song Mo laughed it off.

【That much is true, though I don't know what Leng Wanqiu is scheming. If she wants to gain something from me, then she's destined to be disappointed.】

【I do actually know a prescription that would be of great help to Leng Wanqiu. Combined with the proper method, it could even let her be reborn completely, thoroughly resolving that strange ailment, giving her a new lease on life.】

【But how could I possibly give it to her?】

In his past life, Leng Wanqiu had made Song Mo a clown!

In this life, how could Song Mo possibly let her have things her way!

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, communication between Song Mo and Song Wanrou became even smoother and more unimpeded.

After learning that Song Wanrou had struck Chen Xi with such a vicious hand, a vague idea began to stir in Song Mo's heart.

【It seems, in this life.】

【Song Wanrou… is really different now?】
