Lu Yinchu first drove to the small villa where Yang Su was renting. Because she had been notified in advance, Yang Su had already packed up and was waiting at the entrance of the complex.
Yang Su had deliberately worn a pink dress today and let her hair down. She looked graceful and elegant...
It seed that, tonight, Yang Su was taking this as an opportunity to interact with Chang Linsheng!
Nanxi got out of the passenger’s seat and sat in the back row with Yang Su. Yang Su was a little nervous, but because of Lu Yinchu, she dare not speak too freely!
Of course, Yang Su has an outgoing personality, so even if she is nervous, she hides it well. Without being super observant, nobody would notice!
The atmosphere along the way was rather harmonious. It wasn’t until Yang Su ntioned Lan Qiqi’s plan to return to K City for a while that it beca tinged with sadness.
Yang Su said, "She’ll probably be leaving in a few days, and whether or not she will return is still uncertain!"
Nanxi was surprised, "How can it be so soon? When did she decide on this?"
"A couple of days ago!" Yang Su said, "This Mid-Autumn Festival, neither Lanlan nor I went ho because we were planning to wait until National Day to return. After all, it’s a long journey, which takes quite a bit of ti..."
"I’m okay though because my sister and brother-in-law take care of my parents at ho. But Lanlan is different. Her parents insisted on her returning to K City. Uncle Lan’s Taekwondo Hall also needs her help. If she doesn’t return, they’ll co and get her themselves..."
"Really?!" Nanxi was shocked!
"What do you think?" sighed Yang Su, "Actually, part of the reason Lanlan remained in H City is because of . And the other part, maybe it’s because of the man she likes in her heart! I feel ashad. After all these years of knowing her, as her close friend who practically grew up together, I feel like I may have never really understood her..."
Her words left Nanxi silent. Over the four years she had known Yang Su and Lan Qiqi, their company made her university life more bearable. At least in this unfamiliar city, she was no longer alone!
Nanxi, by nature, is quite a reserved person with no strong hobbies or interests. Just as Yang Su previously pointed out, she is quite boring!
However, she got along very well with Yang Su and Lan Qiqi. Now that Lan Qiqi was about to leave H City, and Yang Su didn’t actually live in H City.
If there’s no reason for her to stay in H City in the future, Yang Su could also potentially leave at any ti!
Sadness, then, seeped in like a shadow, thread by thread, leaving her heart aching!
...
The car stopped in front of a large club. After everyone got out, a club attendant greeted them, announcing that Mr. Han had been waiting for a long ti!
Mr. Han is Han Shaojing!
Nanxi led Yang Su towards the front, followed by Lu Yinchu. They all entered the elevator!
The attendant was a woman around twenty-five or six years old, quite good looking.
She gave Nanxi and Yang Su a sparkle-eyed look, musing about how great it is to be wealthy, bringing young and beautiful girls to such places!
It seed that the tastes of the big bosses had changed, preferring pure, innocent-looking girls?
Looking at her, she appeared to still be a student. So young...did their parents know?
The elevator gradually rose, stopping at the number "8". The attendant moved first, signaling them out with a gesture of invitation. All three people got out!
Room 808, an auspicious number.
There was an antiquated sign hanging at the entrance called "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", with a story about the folklore written beneath.
Nanxi glanced briefly at it but the door opened before she could read in detail!
Voices mingled with music from within. The room was bathed in warm light, redolent with the aroma of wine, but lacked the sll of smoke!
This pleasantly surprised Nanxi. How rare!
"Ah, Yinchu, finally you’re here," Han Shaojing, the host, stood up to greet him. "We’ve all been waiting so long for you that the flowers started wilting!"
Upon seeing Nanxi, he smiled, "Little sister Nanxi, finally you’re here. Do you know that for welcoming you today, we had a smoke-free campaign in the private room? Yinchu stated that if we smoked, he wouldn’t co. Damn..."
"..." Huh, so that’s why!
Nanxi was sowhat embarrassed. She let out an awkward smile, then turned and glanced at Lu Yinchu.
Rolling her eyes, as if saying, ’did you have to proclaim your impending fatherhood to the whole world? Couldn’t you keep it a bit more low-key, my love?’
Lu Yinchu didn’t care, smiling faintly. Nonchalantly, he draped his arm over Nanxi and ushered her further, toward the vacant seats that awaited them. All three sat down.
Han Shaojing, looking towards Yang Su, furrowed his brow, "Hmm, I think I’ve seen this young girl before. She’s one of Baobao’s roommates, right? I Apologize...my mory is not the best, what’s her na again?"
"My na is Yang Su..."
"Her na is Yang Su..."
Two voices, nearly in unison!
One from Yang Su, and the other, astonishingly, from Chang Linsheng!
Everyone was a bit surprised, including Yang Su!
Yang Su had not expected Chang Linsheng to rember her na!
It had been such a long ti since they last t!
Chang Linsheng’s family had a company in H City. Yang Su once utilised her days off to visit the area around the Chang Family’s company and even sat in the cafe below his office several tis.
Regrettably, she never saw Chang Linsheng a single ti.
She thought, perhaps this is what it ant to not have any connection with soone.
The city was so big, filled with people. The intersections of lives held no absolute rule.
A man like Chang Linsheng, although slightly inferior to Lu Yinchu, was definitely well-regarded amongst the city’s most desirable n!
Online news about him was sparse, but this was proof of his clean private life.
One should know that even a man as self-disciplined like Lu Yinchu had tabloid scandals rehashed from ti to ti, but Chang Linsheng had none!
Yang Su once asked herself, why would she fall for him?
Their paths crossed rarely, and when they did, he usually used his acid tongue and hardly spared anyone. He was never gentle with her.
As for what she knew of him - besides the fact that his na is Chang Linsheng, that he was the Vice President of the Chang Group, a 32-year-old classmate and good friend of Lu Yinchu - she knew nothing else!
So, what did she see in him?
She couldn’t say for sure. Perhaps, it was a certain feeling - an indescribable anticipation of eting him, wanting to see him, caring about his every move.
Even now, as he sat there among n like Han Shaojing, Tu Yanming, Gui Xi, all handso and attractive...
In her eyes, she only saw him.
Only him.
When did his image beco so clear to her?
And when did her heart start to grow fonder and fonder?
Yang Su didn’t know!
What she did know was that she liked this man, very much. She felt happy whenever she saw him and wanted to get close to him.
But when he really got close, she would be nervous, worried, and scared...
She had never felt this way before!
In reality, perhaps love involves a process of moving from resistance to acceptance. She had already passed that phase of resistance, and at this mont, she wanted to accept!
That’s why she ca tonight!
Would he notice that she ca for him?
Chang Linsheng, my heart flutters, racing for you. Can you hear it?
