The Devil who devoured Snow White

Sister... Bai Xue? Who's Bai Xue? She thought as she looked at the pretty Asian boy in confusion. Slenderly built, raven-haired, sharp dark eyes. He looked more like a woman because of his small figure but his boyish and vibrant face said otherwise. He seemed to be the type of person to stare at his own reflection before getting in the shower. At least that was the first thing she thought.

The teenager had a stunned look on him but soon it changed into happiness. In the next second, he gave Lu Mengjie a hug which startled her.

"I know you'll come and visit me here!" He pulled away from the embrace just to look at her with a wide grin plastered on his lips. "Just wait until the others see you!"

"…" Just who the hell was this boy? He wasn't able to trigger any of her memories so she had a puzzled look on her face instead.

"Jiejie?" He blinked a few times when he realized that she was just looking at him in confusion.

"Who… are you?"

"Eh?"

"I think… you must have mistaken me for someone else." Her name was clearly not Bai Xue, it was Lu Mengjie.

"No! I can't be mistaken! There's no way! I'm very sure of it! One hundred percent sure! Cross my heart!" He exclaimed confidently. "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me as if you don't know me?"

"It's because I don't know you," she retorted, still looking at him with bewilderment on her face.

"What?! No way! How can that be?!"

"Mengxi, are you done?" Bai Jingye's voice was heard which made her turn to him.

He stood in front of them. He took the basket she was holding before he seized a sharp glimpse at the boy to which the boy ended up glaring back at him. He returned his gaze to her and asked, "is he bothering you?"

"No…"

"Jiejie! How can you bring another man? The rooms in our house are full! Brother Sloth will complain and scold you if he-"

"I'm sorry but I really don't know you," she interrupted. No matter how much she tried thinking of their connection, nothing came up. There were no memories of him.

"How can you not know me? It's me, Lust! Did you hit your head and got amnesia?"

"Yes. I have amnesia. I don't have memories of you therefore I don't know you." Lu Mengjie was honest with her condition. If this boy really knew her then she needed to gain more information from him.

A loud gasp escaped from his mouth as he looked at her in disbelief. "Seriously?!"

Bai Jingye reached out just to hold her hand with his free hand, earning her attention. "We should not talk here. We need to go, Mengxi."

"W-wait-"

"If you want to talk with her, meet us at the parking lot." He dragged Lu Mengjie away and headed straight to the cashier counter to pay for the souvenirs and sweets that were in the basket.

The boy was about to follow them but he was suddenly called by another staff member. He was scolded for leaving his pose.

Lu Mengjie couldn't do anything at that moment but watch him as she was being dragged away by Bai Jingye.

…

At the parking lot…

"Ah, finally," Lu Mengjie sighed in relief upon sitting at the backseat of a black Bentley car. She was so tired from walking around especially when she was pregnant. 

"Here, have some drink. You must be exhausted," said Tian Ruyi who was sitting beside her.

"Thank you." She grabbed the bottle and twisted the cap open before drinking its contents.

Bai Jingye, who was sitting at the shotgun seat, waited for her to finish drinking before he said, "the man earlier seems to know you."

"Eh?" She blinked a few times then turned to look at Lu Mengjie. "Someone recognized you?"

"He was calling me Bai Xue…"

Tian Ruyi tilted her head a bit in confusion and asked, "Bai Xue like the one in fairy tales? Snow White and the seven dwarves? He must be crazy. I think he must have mistaken you for someone else."

"I don't think so," she replied. "We are not on the mainland. This country is filled with foreigners so it will be easier to recognize us."

"Even if you're right, we can't stay here and wait for him," Bai Jingye interrupted.

She looked at him, lines forming in between her perfectly slashed brows. "But you said that he should meet us here."

"I never said that we'll wait." He turned to the driver and ordered, "let's go."

Tian Ruyi reached out to hold her hand. "We need to get out of this place as soon as possible, Mengmeng. Let's just come back next time."

The boy was a worker in this place so he would surely be here if they came back, right? Lu Mengjie sighed heavily in defeat as she finally gave in to them. "Alright."
