170: Chapter 170 Gu En’s Circle 10_1 170: Chapter 170 Gu En’s Circle 10_1 Ding Long’s words left He Zhilan nearly color-drained.
She leaned against the corner of the wall, gasping for breath, her eyes red.
Fortunately, the place was dark enough to cover her mont of disorder.
That night, her heart, almost floating, rose once again as if soaring into the vast space.
Each of her steps felt empty.
After standing in the corner for a while, He Zhilan finally managed to calm herself down and went to find Zhou Chenyue.
“I saw your sister.
She seems not well.
Co with .”
It was only after she finished speaking, she noticed a man standing next to Zhou Chenyue.
It was Zhou Chenyue’s cousin, Zhou Hongjin.
“Found her?” Upon hearing Ding Jinshi’s news, Zhou Chenyue’s eyes brightened.
Urging He Zhilan to lead the way, she said, “I am such a fool.
I got lost in such a small place.
I’ve walked the sa area several tis and people looked at as if I were a monster.”
“Your sense of direction has been awful since you were little.
I rember when you first moved into the compound, you didn’t dare to move around for several months, afraid to wander too far and not find your way ho,” Zhou Hongjin teased.
He looked at He Zhilan but said nothing more.
The trio walked quickly to the spot where He Zhilan had t Ding Long earlier.
But fortunately, Ding Long was nowhere to be found.
He Zhilan pointed and Zhou Chenyue looked over, “I knew she would be like this!
Brother, you and He Zhilan wait here for , I will go over there.”
“Go ahead, try to persuade her.” Zhou Hongjin and Ding Jinshi weren’t so close, so there wasn’t much he could say.
After Zhou Chenyue left, he looked around and asked, “Shall we sit there and wait?”
He Zhilan nodded without saying anything else and followed Zhou Hongjin to an empty seat.
As soon as they got seated, a waiter ca up to ask if they wanted any drinks; Zhou Hongjin ordered two juices and then asked the waiter to leave.
Zhou Hongjin had quite a few drinks at dinner and in the private room on the third floor, hence, the strong sll of alcohol on him.
Even though He Zhilan was sitting a bit away, she could still sll the alcohol from him.
“He Zhilan, we’ve actually encountered each other many tis at school!” Zhou Hongjin suddenly said, then gave an awkward smile, “Judging by your look, I can tell that you don’t rember.”
Hearing Zhou Hongjin’s words, He Zhilan was truly surprised because she genuinely did not rember ever seeing Zhou Hongjin at school.
The look on He Zhilan’s face was the answer Zhou Hongjin expected.
He felt sowhat disappointed about his unremarkable charm value, unnoticed despite their nurous encounters.
“Senior Zhou, I apologize because I have a bad mory for people and events.
Did we really et many tis at school?
Where?
Can you give a clue?” He Zhilan felt sorry because he recognized her, yet she didn’t have the slightest recollection.
“The school’s library.
You worked part-ti there, and I visited the library three or four tis a week.
Thus, we would et three or four tis a week.
It’s heartbreaking that you don’t rember at all,” Zhou Hongjin said with a faint smile, clearly teasing He Zhilan.
Perhaps it was because Zhou Hongjin was Zhou Chenyue’s cousin, or it could be because Zhou Hongjin didn’t have as heavy a ferocious aura like Ding Long and Lan Li, which made him more approachable.
His facial expressions, tone of voice were particularly casual and laid-back.
Therefore, He Zhilan felt more relaxed around Zhou Hongjin, creating a sense of unforced spontaneity.
