Xie Baola slightly bent forward, her hands gripping the window sill, her face alight with excitent that had not yet faded.
"I won."
Chen Jiayan nodded, "I know."
The two of them, one sitting inside the car, the other standing outside, were close yet separated by a car door.
It was like their current relationship, with an uncrossable trench lying between them.
"Usually there are stakes involved in car racing."
Xie Baola looked at him somberly, a dark glint in her fox-like eyes, "So, do you have to agree to a condition for ?"
"No stakes were placed at the beginning." His expression was always placid, like a dead pool without ripples.
"It’s not too late for to make one now." Realizing she was being sowhat unreasonable—they had only t a few tis—she suggested, "How about we race one more ti?"
"Racing rules, one race determines the winner." Chen Jiayan said unperturbed.
Xie Baola clicked her tongue, "Then I won for nothing."
He neither confird nor denied, "Since you won, it wasn’t for nothing."
That was...
"Uninteresting."
Xie Baola frowned slightly, speaking in a lackluster tone.
She tilted her chin up, "Is that your girlfriend?"
She glanced at the hot girl in the passenger seat.
Knowing Xie Baola’s identity, before Chen Jiayan could say anything, the hot girl quickly said, "Miss Xie, I’m not close with President Chen, please don’t misunderstand."
Xie Baola smiled, "Then, could you get out of the car? I have sothing to discuss with President Chen."
Her smile was unexpectedly sweet and not at all inconsistent with her deanor.
The hot girl found her smile unsettling.
Everyone knew about the temper of Miss Xie from the Xie Family.
"Yes, yes!"
The hot girl didn’t dare to hesitate, hurriedly opened the car door, and ran out.
Xie Baola revealed a satisfied smile.
"Paula."
A hoarse voice ca from behind her.
Xie Baola turned to look at him, "I ran into an old friend, let talk to him for a bit."
Qu Jiashu was silent.
Chen Jiayan, an old friend?
Qu Jiashu clearly watched as Xie Baola grew curious about Chen Jiayan, her body shifted slightly, but he never ca forward.
Sotis, a mont’s hesitation is defeat.
"I’ll wait in the car."
Qu Jiashu hesitated just a mont, and Xie Baola had already walked around the front of the car and climbed into the passenger seat.
She closed the door, cutting off the view from outside.
Chen Jiayan looked at the uninvited woman with an indifferent gaze.
He didn’t speak to send her away.
"Miss Xie, speak directly if you have sothing to say."
Chen Jiayan lightly tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, his eyes slightly downcast, his eyelashes casting a shadow.
The car light was off, only the light from the headlights illuminated the car, vaguely revealing their appearances.
Xie Baola leaned toward him, her cunning eyes sizing up his handso features.
Facing her intense gaze, Chen Jiayan remained composed.
He turned his head, "?"
His expression was puzzled.
Xie Baola propped her cheek up, a smile rich with implications, "Actually, I’m quite interested in you."
But why did he have to be Xixi’s brother?
Chen Jiayan was silent.
"And then?" He asked in a steady voice.
"It’s just a bit tricky."
Xie Baola shook her head.
Wild thoughts invaded her brain.
The clarity in her mind restrained her.
Headache.
Xie Baola asked curiously, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"No." Chen Jiayan paused, "And I’m not planning to date."
That was basically a direct rejection.
No matter what she wanted to do.
That was his attitude.
Chen Jiayan didn’t leave any room for negotiation.
Xie Baola nodded slightly, the warmth in her heart extinguished as if doused by cold water.
Fortunately, she wasn’t so fixated on Chen Jiayan that she couldn’t let go.
The man’s appearance had simply stirred her emotions a bit, arousing her interest on sight.
The storm would stop, and that slight fluttering of her heart quickly dispersed.
To put it bluntly, it was just a superficial thing.
Such feelings couldn’t withstand testing.
"What a pity."
With that, Xie Baola opened the car door and got out.
This ti she walked away without looking back.
The fluttering stopped there.
Chen Jiayan looked out, seeing Qu Jiashu getting out of the car to open the door for Xie Baola, their car quickly leaving his sight.
In the vast city, it was actually very difficult for two people with no fate to et again.
They were each busy, ti flew by, and they completely faded from each other’s lives.
Six months later.
Holy Mountain.
Xie Baola saw a missed call from Qiao Xi on her phone and returned the call.
After the call, Xie Baola walked out of the tent.
Today, she was playing with a group of wingsuit flying enthusiasts.
The wind atop the mountain was strong, blowing her clothes noisily.
Her chestnut, slightly curled short hair flew ssily across her face, but it couldn’t cover the sharpness of her eyes and brows.
Xie Baola, hand in pocket, walked toward the man not far away.
Chen Jiayan was talking to a friend who suddenly called out, "Paula."
Chen Jiayan followed his friend’s gaze to Xie Baola.
mories from six months ago suddenly surged.
His expression paused slightly.
Xie Baola’s gaze landed on Chen Jiayan, deliberately asking, "And who is this?"
Incredible.
She hadn’t expected to encounte Chen Jiayan again after half a year.
And at such an event.
She finally understood why she felt he was just right upon their first encounter.
Turns out they were the sa kind of people at heart.
"Chen Jiayan, my friend, let’s all hang out together next ti."
Xie Baola nodded slightly, her gaze aningfully fixed on Chen Jiayan, "Sir, it seems we’ve t before."
Not seeing him for half a year, the man seed even more aloof.
The aura that attracted her hadn’t changed.
When Chen Jiayan saw her, the initial surprise quickly hidden, found her pretending to not recognize him, he asked calmly, "Really?"
Pretending not to know, anyone can do that.
"Probably."
Xie Baola’s attitude was equally elusive.
"Oh!"
Xie Baola suddenly rembered, "The last ti I was at Xixi’s place, you were the one who ca to pick sothing up, right?"
"That was you."
Chen Jiayan seed to recall.
Neither of them ntioned the encounter on West Mountain.
He acted quite convincingly.
Xie Baola didn’t suspect anything.
She inwardly clicked her tongue.
Chen Jiayan had actually forgotten her.
Was her impression that unmorable to him?
Their friend, sensing the tension between them, curiously said, "Paula, Jiayan, you two know each other?"
"We’ve t."
"We know each other."
He said t, she said know.
Their attitudes differed.
Xie Baola imdiately smiled, "You really hurt my feelings with that attitude, we at least know each other, right?"
Their friend looked between them, "Since you’ve t, that ans you know each other, let’s all have dinner together then."
"I have no problem with that."
Xie Baola promptly agreed.
Friend: "Let’s go, Jiayan, all of us together."
