[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch56 - Looking for a Friend

Liu Xu stood on the balcony, glancing down at the rare flowers that were blooming in welcome of winter's chill. She looked terrified.

Although it was freezing on this winter night, she only wore a sleek, champagne-coloured evening gown. She looked beautiful standing there as her languid curls were blown into disarray. A few locks fell against her thin, smooth shoulders while the rest of it fluttered with the brisk wind.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps.

Standing against the railing, Liu Xu's eyelashes quivered. Her hands atop of the railing slowly shifted towards each other before clasping together. When the footsteps sounded close by, she pulled her tightly entwined hands apart and turned her head.

The new arrival had their back against the light. His tall, slender appearance was a bit hard to make out because of that. Delighted surprise emerged in her eyes, and her tone was sweet and soft. "Song shao."

Song Xuanhe stood in place. His eyes swept over Liu Xu's body. There was no expression on his face even when he noticed that she was not dressed for the cold. He nodded indifferently. "Huang Cong said that you were looking for me?"

"Yes." Liu Xu turned around, wrapping her frozen arms around herself. She raised her head slightly, eyes downcast, revealing her pale, frail face and slender neck. She said in a soft voice, "Actually, I called you here today to apologize."

While keeping a distance of a metre and a half from Liu Xu, a sliver of intrigue flashed through Song Xuanhe's eyes. However, the expression he revealed on his face was that of confusion. "Apologize?"

"Yes, I've wronged you."

Liu Xu looked up. Her eyes were very attractive—they were round, pure, and charming. The outer corners of her eyes were also long. From Song Xuanhe's angle, it looked like there was a frail innocence within them. Her eyelashes also fluttered gently. Her appearance was definitely very effective in arousing tender feelings towards her.

But, Song Xuanhe remained unmoved. Everyone in the entertainment industry was very proficient in utilizing their looks. Liu Xu was naturally no exception.

Moreover, he was a fashion designer. He had seen countless handsome men and beautiful women. It was very difficult for the average person to move him. Furthermore, a model's makeup for a certain fashion show would be determined by the show's background and the clothes that were to be showcased. Furthermore, the makeup artists in charge of the models' makeup would typically have more than one ongoing job. Therefore, he was very familiar with all sorts of looks and how they were achieved.

For example, right now, he could see that Liu Xu had lengthened the upper lines of her eyes that naturally drooped down. It went very well with her eye shape, looking very natural. It made her look even more classy and beautiful. This effect had been achieved with the use of subtle makeup.

The fact that Liu Xu wanted to use makeup and her acting skills to sway Song Xuanhe meant that she didn't understand him at all.

Upon seeing through such a boring trick, impatience bled into Song Xuanhe's eyes. "If you're going to apologize, just tell me the reason. Don't equivocate."

Liu Xu had been shivering with her arms around herself. When she heard him, she froze. She then looked at Song Xuanhe's indifferent face with watery eyes and bit down on her lip. "Actually...it's partially my fault that Song Guochao—Mr. Song's—lover had gone to cause trouble at your home."

Song Xuanhe raised a brow, signalling her to continue.

Liu Xu was already trembling from the cold from being out here so long. When she saw that Song Xuanhe showed no signs of having tender, protective feelings towards her, she stopped biting down on her lip and hugged herself even tighter. She said, "I couldn't stand by and watch it go on anymore. I couldn't just do nothing while Mr. Song kept his first love as a lover outside, away from the eyes of Mrs. Song and the Li Family. I had also been furious over the fact that I had been nothing but a substitute for his first love. Therefore, I had looked into it and ended up discovering Zhang Xiuya...."
