After Transmigrating into a book, I Was Played By a Black Lotus

Chapter 7 Fate

"There's no misunderstanding." Lin Xingzhu said calmly as she began to confess, "I acted impulsively and used the wrong method."

She looked at Bai Xiying's relaxed smile and felt a bit strange. "Are you really so trusting? Just because someone does something nice later, does that really negate all the wrongs they did before?"

If that's the case, Lin Xingzhu really didn't know what to say.

After all, given Bai Xiying's temperament, she was likely to live through many hardships in the future. If she treated everyone this way, the one who would end up hurt would be the kind-hearted Bai Xiying herself.

Bai Xiying shook her head. "I'm not that naïve. Everyone has a heart; eyes can deceive, ears can deceive, but the heart won't."

Lin Xingzhu's heart stirred; she was saying her heart told her she was a good person.

Lin Xingzhu slightly closed her eyes, swallowed hard, and softly said, "That incident was indeed my fault."

She never denied her actions regarding the drugging, nor did she attempt to clarify herself at this moment.

Bai Xiying glanced at her with a complex expression. "I understand."

Lin Xingzhu clearly sensed the hidden door in Bai Xiying's eyes had quietly opened a crack, revealing a gap inviting enough for someone to lean in.

Lin Xingzhu couldn't help but avert her gaze, feeling a bit guilty for this trust.

In that brief moment of looking away, she didn't notice Bai Xiying's eyes darkening.

Bai Xiying found everything quite interesting.

The trajectory of fate was beginning to shift, and the one holding the key was still Lin Xingzhu.

However, this Lin Xingzhu seemed to be different from the previous one.

She took out a tissue and slowly wiped the corner of her mouth. As she lowered her arm, a mysterious smile crept onto her lips.

...

Lin Xingzhu drove Bai Xiying to see an apartment.

The place she intended to rent to Bai Xiying was a modest apartment, one of the less significant properties under her name. It was not far from the city center, which meant a short commute for Bai Xiying if she were to work.

Lin Xingzhu had specifically chosen this location based on her memory.

The apartment was neither so large that it would make Bai Xiying feel guilty, nor so small that it would make her feel cramped. Plus, it was conveniently located near the bustling city center.
