Chapter 213: First Love Misunderstanding

Xiao Yun involuntarily burst into a giggle. Lin Chang Lu who saw her giggling like a child had her eyes froze at the heartfelt laughter. She tried to compose her pitch but at the moment her voice couldn't conceal how baffled she was after seeing that Xiao Yun could still be laughing at this. Even if Xiao Yun was foolish and dumb, she doubted that she wouldn't notice the romantic air and how Wang Li Lei could smile wholeheartedly in front of the young man.

Xiao Yun stopped her giggle. She cast away her sight to Lin Chang Lu and spoke lightly. "We really shouldn't believe gossip, shouldn't we? This is a complete nonsense."

Lin Chang Lu rose her well-kept brows. "How could you say that?"

Xiao Yun shrugged her shoulders. "You've told me not to trust gossip, didn't you? And I don't see anything wrong with the picture, it's just a friendship between men, nothing wrong with it."

The words "nothing wrong with it" almost echoed to Lin Chang Lu's mind like an echoing sounds of chiming bells.

'How dumb! This woman is really stupid!' Lin Chang Lu muttered a curse in her heart. Fighting with a woman who has a brain is much worth it than fighting with an utter idiot! How couldn't she read the air?!

At this point, Lin Chang Lu had brought Xiao Yun to a long hallway. In her mind, Xiao Yun seemed to notice the familiar hallway and recalled that it was the path to the maze garden.

Lin Chang Lu who was able to pick herself back gulped and had her eyes concentrate again on her main goal. "Well, you're right. Nothing is wrong with this picture and yet everyone is making a big deal that Li Lei had changed his preference. Even though since young he had always kept his first love with him."  She laughed at the end of her words.

'Huh? What's this woman talking about?' Xiao Yun crooked her brows. Why would she bring up Li Lei's first love?

Seeing Xiao Yun's questioning look, Lin Chang Lu broke to a small mocking grin. While walking into the garden maze, Xiao Yun's eyes traveled around, seeing that they really entered the maze and became wary. Lin Chang Lu wouldn't do something foolish like beating her that Xiao Yun would receive a wound but it was the exact opposite. In the house where most people are on her side, whatever Lin Chang Lu do now, only they both were the witness and Lin Chang Lu had the upper hand in manipulating other's opinion.

"What do you mean, Chang Lu?" Xiao Yun paused, looking around with a feigning innocent expression and added, "Where are we going now?"

"This is a maze to the garden, they build it around eight years ago." Lin Chang Lu generously filled the blank in Xiao Yun's mind. But the blank that she didn't need at the moment. Lin Chang Lu continued. "I'm a little embarrassed to say this to you and I hope you wouldn't be offended. I don't want your relationship with Li Lei to shake because of me. It's only a first love, you see."

Xiao Yun had gotten tired of her who kept repeating his words over and over again. She asked concisely. "What first love?"

"You see the reason why Li Lei had never taken a girlfriend or see someone as a romantic interest is because he has someone in his heart for a very long time." She cast a cold expression and a smile that accompanied her look, adding, "That first love is me when I was still very young. This is the place where he fell for me at first sight."

Xiao Yun looked at the "place" Lin Chang Lu mentioned and sure enough, it was the tree where Xiao Yun and Wang Li Lei Met for the first time. The large tree when Xiao Yun Fall after climbing the tree while crying for Wang Li Lei who couldn't cry. With the gust of wind bursting to sweep the dead leaves hovering below the tree to them, Xiao Yun saw Lin Chang Lu pulling the corner of her lips into a victory smile.

'What is she saying?' Xiao Yun asked herself in a perplex. All this time, she asked why could Lin Chang Lu become very confident that Wang Li Lei is hers. Part of her thought perhaps the woman had become crazy after drowning herself in delusions that Wang Li Lei love her as much as she loved him. But it wasn't a normal delusion! This woman seemed to be having a critical misunderstanding for years!

Xiao Yun didn't know where to start. She asked, "You two met under this tree?"

Lin Chang Lu showed a pitiful gaze at Xiao Yun who appeared to be surprised by her statements. Yet in fact, Xiao Yun was the one who is about to show a pity on her. Feeling generous, Lin Chang Lu explained. "Yes, Li Lei was crying at that time and I met him there. When I saw him crying, I felt sad for him to and offer him a handkerchief."

Xiao Yun nodded fairly and again queried. "How do you know you are his first love?"

"I heard him talking to the son of Han Family, saying that he fell for someone in a first sight. This meeting, of course, happened under this tree, he said that although he never once believe in the existence of God, for the first time, he met an angel and felt his whole self even down to his breath stolen by her. He's a very romantic person since a child, he also said 'One person for an entire lifetime.' He wouldn't want anyone else and because of that he never had the eyes for anyone other than his first love. And even though he has the power to propose me, he said he promised to become the best man for me before proposing. For that he said no matter what he should do, he would become everything for his first love. Protect her, stay by her side till death do them apart." Lin Chang Lu ended her sentence with a tender smile, truly believing that Wang Li Lei was in love with her for many years. She also thought that Wang Li Lei didn't propose her because he still felt he wasn't good enough for her yet.

Xiao Yun, on the other hand, had her while face flushed red. The corner of her eyes rounded down tenderly and her smile softened like a pink cotton. She could feel flower blossoming deep down in her heart, budding slowly to soon achieve a full bloom.

Perhaps Lin Chang Lu wanted to make her choke blood from jealousy and blow up her tops by showing her the sweetest expression that Wang Li Lei ever said. But to Xiao Yun, it was as though she overheard Wang Li Lei confessing his love out open.

A surge of warmth spread to her heart. Xiao Yun looked at the tree and could feel her eyelashes fluttering. "Is that what he said?"
