Innocence 44

I'd never seen this girl before. She was thin, tall, with a pretty face and a sweet smile. She wore a crisp white dress.

"Dongyu!"

I ran over, hiding the cake behind me. When I came up to him, I asked him curiously, "Who is she?"

Dongyu glanced at me, his face inexplicably tense. The girl glanced at me and introduced herself naturally, "You're Dongyu's sister, right?"

"Yes, I am!"

"How do you do!"

She smiled and extended her hand to express her goodwill. "I'm Dongyu's girlfriend. I'm in the same grade as him!"

Girlfriend?

I sized her up with some surprise, obviously not believing her one-sided story, so that I didn't immediately respond to her outstretched hand. Instead, I stared at her blankly, at a loss.

"Lin Li, this is my sister, Xiachun."

Dongyu introduced her to me and said, "Xiachun, this is my girlfriend, Lin Li."

"Your… girlfriend?"
