Chapter 57 - The Demon Sovereign's First Love
“Lin Fan, long ti no see.”
Just as Lin Fan and the others were chatting and joking around, a woman wearing a low-cut formal dress with an LV bag hanging from her wrist suddenly walked over to their table.
Even before she arrived, a pungent wave of strong perfu assailed their nostrils.
Seeing the newcor, both Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai couldn't help but frown slightly, their faces showing displeasure.
The newcor's na was Huang Shiying. Her looks were the type that grew on you, and she was very skilled at makeup and dressing up. For a ti, she was recognized as one of the school's campus belles.
If it were only that, of course it wouldn't have made the two of them unhappy. After all, there was no reason to be unhappy when a campus belle from your own class ca over to say hello.
The reason for their dislike was her other identity from their university days—Lin Fan's ex-girlfriend!
“Yeah, long ti no see.”
Lin Fan looked up at Huang Shiying and replied indifferently, his words extrely perfunctory and casual.
When he had just started university, Huang Shiying had worn a long, white floral dress and exuded a youthful, girlish aura. With her pure and beautiful appearance, she had entered the public eye and attracted the gazes of countless young n.
And at the ti, he just so happened to be one of them.
Having only known studying and part-ti jobs since he was young, he had never been in a relationship. The first ti he saw her, he felt a stirring in his heart that he had never experienced before. At that mont, he thought he must be in love…
And from that mont on, he began to try chasing a girl for the first ti in his life.
When she ran for class president, he took the opportunity to run for vice class president, just for the chance to spend more ti with her.
Every ti he talked with her, she would always respond to him very gently and warmly. This made him very happy, and his heart stirred restlessly, feeling as if he really had a chance.
This went on for a year, until the class re-elected its president and vice president, and the opportunities for the two of them to talk and spend ti together beca fewer.
At that ti, Zhou Yan could see that he liked Huang Shiying but had hesitated for a whole year without daring to confess. Feeling exasperated, Zhou Yan imdiately made a grand gesture and invited the entire class to dinner in Lin Fan's na, so that he could take the opportunity to walk her ho after the dinner and secretly find a chance to confess.
Unlike other people, Huang Shiying didn't live in the school dormitories; she rented a place for herself off-campus.
After the party broke up, on the way to walk her ho, he finally mustered up the courage to confess to her.
She hesitated in silence for a mont, then agreed.
He still rembers to this day how much his heart jumped for joy that night. He felt as if he were the luckiest man in the world.
Later, however, he discovered that it had all been nothing but his own wishful thinking.
In the year they were dating, the most intimate contact they ever had was holding hands once. That was on Valentine's Day, after he had spent all his remaining savings to buy her a phone that cost over eight thousand.
Usually, he could only earn a smile from her when he was treating her to a al or giving her a gift.
Other than that, their relationship made almost no progress. To an outsider, you couldn't even tell the two were a couple.
Because it was his first love, at first, he suspected that he was doing sothing wrong, or hadn't been caring enough for her. But later he discovered that she had never liked him at all…
As for why she accepted his confession, the reason was very simple: because Zhou Yan's relationship with him was very good, and the two were often together.
She had agreed to date him only to get to know Zhou Yan through him, and thus get closer to him.
From beginning to end, her target was never him…
He found this hard to believe, right up until Zhou Yan told him personally.
One day, after he had been dating her for nearly a year, Zhou Yan suddenly took a drag from a cigarette and told him with a serious expression:
“Lin Fan, that woman isn't right for you. Just break up with her. I'll introduce you to soone better, bro.”
At the ti, he vaguely guessed sothing, but he still calmly asked for the reason.
Zhou Yan told him that during the ti he and Huang Shiying were dating, the woman had privately contacted him (Zhou Yan) multiple tis, wanting to ask him out to eat. Her intentions were so obvious a blind man could see them.
In addition to that, Zhou Yan also said he had seen the woman getting into other people's cars at the school gate at night on multiple occasions.
Worried it might just be a misunderstanding, like she was just taking a taxi, he even secretly followed her in his car one ti, filming the whole way, until he saw her stop at a hotel and go upstairs with the male driver…
After hesitating again and again, Zhou Yan told him all of this, and even showed him the video he had fild.
After learning her true colors, he felt extrely regretful and sad in his heart. From then on, he never actively contacted or sought her out again.
And since she had never liked him in the first place, she naturally didn't care at all.
From then on, the two parted ways, becoming like strangers. There was no formal breakup; they ended the relationship with a tacit understanding, announcing that his beautiful first love had co to an abrupt end…
After that, he never chased another girl again, only focusing on his studies and, after graduation, working desperately to earn money.
Looking back on it now, he really wished he could give his past self a slap and curse himself: Stupid!
To think he could be gloomy and depressed over this kind of woman for his entire university life, and even feel sad and heartbroken over it. If word of this got back to the Demon Realm, his great and noble image as the Demon Sovereign would surely collapse in the hearts of his subordinates.
This unbearable-to-recall story of his first love was simply a dark mark on his history as the Demon Sovereign!
He had already forgotten all about this person, Huang Shiying, but she just had to co up to him on her own initiative.
Right now, he was actually thinking, should he just find an opportunity to silence everyone else here except for Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai...?
After all, the class reunion is today, and pretty much everyone is here...
“It's been a long ti. You seem to have changed a lot.”
Seeing Lin Fan's indifferent attitude towards her, Huang Shiying's brow secretly furrowed, and she was very surprised in her heart.
In university, whenever Lin Fan spoke to her, he was always trying to please her, his words filled with a fawning tone. Even after they broke up, he had never been so cold to her.
Now, not only had his physique beco so sturdy, but his entire spirit and aura had undergone an earth-shattering change. His face was filled with an ineffable composure and confidence.
This aura and charm, radiating from the inside out, were completely different from before…
If Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai weren't sitting beside him, she might not have even recognized that the man before her was the sa Lin Fan from university.
“Well, people grow up.”
“However…”
Lin Fan paused, his gaze sweeping over the well-dressed Huang Shiying with a teasing and contemptuous look, and he said mockingly:
“You, on the other hand, don't seem to have changed much. Looks like you got your wish and found the rich man you were looking for?”
“I wonder which sucker it is? Is it soone from our class? Do tell.”
“You…! Don't you insult people!”
Hearing this blatant humiliation, Huang Shiying's face flushed red, and she imdiately flew into a rage from sha and embarrassnt.
“We broke up peacefully. I just ca over to say hello for old ti's sake, since we're classmates who haven't seen each other in years, and you say such things to humiliate ! Aren't you going too far!”
“Too far? I was just stating the facts. How is that going too far?”
“I haven't even gotten to the really excessive stuff yet.”
Lin Fan had an innocent look on his face, but his eyes were filled with contempt and disgust for Huang Shiying.
She said she was coming over to say hello for old ti's sake, but in reality, it was more like she had latched onto a rich man, put on luxurious clothes and a designer bag, and specifically ca over to show off.
With this kind of woman, what need was there to be polite?
