Chapter 683: Chapter 683 Design

Shen Mianmian had always treated Lu Siyuan like a nephew, and she never expected that Lu Siyuan would fall for her.

She had noticed that Lu Siyuan was somewhat dependent on her, but she thought it was because his parents were not around.

Since both of them were young, she didn’t think too much about it.

But she never anticipated that Lu Siyuan could actually develop feelings for her.

Her liking Brother He Nan was already troubling enough, yet now, another vexing matter had emerged. Everything was in disarray, utterly jumbled.

Both felt awkward and neither spoke. Shen Mianmian felt that she should find a time to talk to Lu Siyuan, to encourage him to prioritize his studies and leave Licheng for Beijing, so that a couple of years without seeing each other, and the passage of time, combined with the presence of other girls around him, would make him forget her.

After much thought, she felt this was the best course of action.

In the following days, Shen Mianmian deliberately avoided He Nan and interacted with Lu Siyuan as if she knew nothing. As for Lu Siyuan, ever since indirectly expressing his feelings, he became all flustered and even blushed when speaking to her, making Shen Mianmian want to give him a punch.

This kind of life continued until Saturday.

Early in the morning, as usual, Lu Siyuan went to the store, and upon leaving the school gates, he bumped into Tian Caiyan again. His face changed, and he said impatiently, "Tian Caiyan, aren’t you annoying?"

"Siyuan, I didn’t come to pester you this time. I want to take you to see the truth for yourself," Tian Caiyan said.

"What truth? I’m not interested," Lu Siyuan said as he attempted to leave, but Tian Caiyan blocked him.

"Even if it’s about Shen Mianmian, you’re still not interested?"

"What else do you want to say about her?" Lu Siyuan’s eyes widened in anger. "I’m telling you, no matter what you say, I won’t believe it."

Having said that, he walked away.

"Siyuan, if you go to the store, you won’t find Shen Mianmian. She’s gone on a secret rendezvous with another man, she’s not even at the vegetable store," Tian Caiyan shouted after him.

"Tian Caiyan, don’t think that just because you’re a woman, I won’t dare to lay a hand on you," Lu Siyuan stopped in his tracks and glared furiously at Tian Caiyan.

Intimidated by his demeanor, Tian Caiyan froze, "Since you don’t believe me, go to the store and see for yourself."

Lu Siyuan gave a warning glare and turned away. Tian Caiyan followed cautiously, not daring to get too close, and felt very apprehensive in her heart.

Zhou Siyu had said she had a way to make Lu Siyuan give up on Shen Mianmian for good, claiming to have evidence of Shen Mianmian messing around with another man. Tian Caiyan wasn’t sure if it was true, but thinking of how Lu Siyuan treated her made her upset. She decided to try one last time, and if Lu Siyuan still didn’t give up on Shen Mianmian, she would give up.

However, she didn’t know whether Zhou Siyu’s method would work or not, as Zhou Siyu did not tell her what it was—only asking her to lure Lu Siyuan to a place. This made her feel very curious yet couldn’t help but want to give it a try.

Throughout the journey, Tian Caiyan was afraid, afraid that Shen Mianmian might be in the store.

Lu Siyuan didn’t believe a word Tian Caiyan said, but to his surprise, Shen Mianmian indeed wasn’t at the store. He casually asked Xiaocui, "Where’s Mianmian?"

"Mianmian went out," Xiaocui replied while busy taking money, not even looking up.

"Why would she run off now?" Lu Siyuan found it odd.

The coincidence was too much—Tian Caiyan had just made a reckless claim, and Mianmian happened not to be in the store.

Seeing that Lu Siyuan was not pleased, Xiaocui didn’t know whether to speak or not, looking hesitant.
