Falling for My Ex's Roommate

Chapter 8

"If you insist on provoking me, then provoke me all the way."

I hugged his lean waist and stood on tiptoes to meet this deep kiss, "Okay..."

During the National Day holiday, I went to the city where my birth parents lived.

I stayed there for three days.

When I left, that pair of scumbags who indulged in all kinds of vices.

Had already been taken away by the police, awaiting the severe and merciless punishment of the law.

Human trafficking, gambling, forced prostitution, thanks to those dreams, I had iron-clad evidence for each and every crime.

I didn't need to wait for rebirth or the next life.

In this life, I could completely get rid of this pair of demons and let them receive the punishment they deserved.

When I got on the plane, I let out a long sigh.

The biggest worry in my heart was finally settled.

At this moment, I felt incredibly free and relaxed.

When the plane landed in the capital, I first reported to Simon that I was safe.

He didn't know the true purpose of this trip.

He still thought I had gone on a short trip with my girlfriends for a few days.

"I'll come find you tonight. Is everything ready at home?"

Simon had moved to an apartment off campus.

He was already a senior and hardly needed to go back to school anymore.

Plus, living in the same dorm with Zack was inconvenient after all.

"It's all ready. Should I come pick you up?"

"Sure."

"Lola."

"What is it?"

"Today is Zack's birthday. He's throwing a party and asked me to go... with my girlfriend."

I had forgotten that Zack's birthday was on National Day.

"Lola, do you want to go with me?"

I didn't answer, feeling quite conflicted inside.

It wasn't that I was unwilling to make our relationship public.

But the White family might soon cut ties with me.

At that time, my unsavory background would be known to everyone.

I knew Simon wouldn't care.

But I couldn't bear to let him be criticized.

Just like in the dream.

They accused him of being unfilial and disloyal.

For the sake of an unworthy woman.

Breaking his parents' and relatives' hearts.

But, as Simon said that day.

I was the one who provoked him first, so I should provoke him all the way.

You can't have it both ways, right?

"Simon."

I took a deep breath, "Do you want me to go?"

"Yes." He answered without hesitation.

"Then come pick me up. I'll go with you."

I held my phone and looked up to see my face reflected in the glass window.

When I said those words, I was smiling, smiling quite brightly.

"Lola, look outside."

My heart seemed to skip a beat for a moment.

The moment I turned around, it was like a slow-motion scene in a movie.

The smile on my face was still blooming, the sound of the electronic announcement fading away like a receding tide.

In the surging crowd, I saw Simon.

I only saw Simon.

I threw down my suitcase and ran towards him without care.

Simon stood still, but he opened his arms to me.

I threw myself into his embrace, and he caught me steadily.

With such a big momentum, he didn't even take a step back.

I hugged his neck and looked up with a radiant smile, "Babe... your core strength is so stable."

He looked down at me and chuckled lightly, "My waist is not bad either. Want to try it out?"

I poked his rock-hard abs and whispered in his ear with a low laugh, "It's just a bit quick, you know."
