Chapter 1222 Underestimating Oneself

Su Yi’s heart skipped a beat, and something familiar flashed past her mind. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and a lump in her throat.

She felt terrible and seemed to have forgotten something. What had she forgotten? What should she remember?

After a moment of abnormality, that uncomfortable and strange sense of familiarity suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if everything was just an illusion.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Yubai sensed the abnormality in her. He went forward nervously and grabbed her arm. “Are you feeling unwell?” Su Yi didn’t know what was wrong with her, but she struggled to break free from the man’s grip. She looked at him and said, “Teacher Lu, I’m just a C-list internet singer.”

“I know.” Lu Yubai looked at her and said seriously, “I know.”

“I have a lot of dirt on me, go online and search for it. You won’t be able to finish reading it even after three days and nights.”

“I don’t care.”

“My family is poor. My parents are ordinary workers.”

“So what?”

“Don’t you understand? I…” When Su Yi spoke, she did not dare to look at him, her brows were slightly furrowed, but she mustered her courage and looked up, meeting the man’s deep and narrow eyes.

His eyes were so gentle and his gaze was so sincere and mellow.

She did not know if she was hallucinating, but she actually saw tenderness in the man’s eyes. It made her eyes feel warm and swollen, and even her heart ached.

At this moment, she actually didn’t know what to say. She knew that she had to come out quickly, she couldn’t continue to fall into his hands and sink deeper.

They were from two different worlds.

“Teacher Lu.” Su Yi clenched her fists and encouraged herself. She looked at him seriously like a brave warrior who was ready to fight for justice. She enunciated each word clearly, “I am not worthy of you, I will implicate you.”

“You’re perfect for me.” Lu Yubai’s voice was a little hoarse. He looked at her with heartache and reached out to hug her. However, he was afraid of scaring her, so he froze in midair.

He initially thought that she was just shy so she did not dare to look at him, talk to him, or even accept his goodwill.

But now, he realized that it was his negligence. It turned out that in front of him, she had lowered herself so much that she was as insignificant as a speck of dust, so tiny that it made his heart ache.

“Teacher Lu, you know now.” Su Yi smiled. Only she knew how painful and uncomfortable her heart was, she tried her best to appear nonchalant. “Then can I trouble you not to talk to me or treat me so well in the future?”

The better he treated her, the worse she’d feel. She’d sink into the tenderness he’d laid out for her, one step at a time, never to come out again.

If that was the case, it would be too sad. She shouldn’t live her life in memories and fantasies.
