481: Chapter 481: Though Now Fickle, Once Was Besotted
Crown Hotel, the first-floor lobby.
He rembered now.
The sowhat flat-nosed young man calling out to him was an old high school classmate, Lu Ping.
The mories sealed deep in Lin Fei’s heart couldn’t help but resurface.
Initially, after his parents perished in a plane crash, Lin Fei resolutely chose to enlist in the military.
As he joined the forces and the secrecy level of his unit gradually increased, Lin Fei gradually bid farewell to his forr life.
After he was discharged from the army, Lin Fei and people like Butcher went abroad to seek their fortunes until one day, by chance, he was found by his cheap father-in-law, Mu Hong, and brought back to Zhonghai to marry Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO.
All in all, seven or eight years had passed.
It was no wonder Lin Fei hadn’t recognized Lu Ping; after all, in these seven or eight years, Lin Fei had experienced too much!
If Lin Fei hadn’t enlisted but had continued his education, he probably wouldn’t have forgotten all about his high school classmates.
The reason Lin Fei finally rembered Lu Ping wasn’t just because Lu Ping had ntioned her, the long-lost love buried in his heart.
It was also because Lin Fei had so rather profound interactions with Lu Ping back in high school.
For instance, Lu Ping, who ca from a decent family, couldn’t stand that the school beauty had fallen for Lin Fei, so after school, he ambushed Lin Fei at the school gate, only to end up with his nose flattened by Lin Fei.
It was precisely because of these interactions that Lin Fei had managed to rember Lu Ping.
If it had been any other high school classmate with whom he hadn’t had much interaction, even with their reminders, Lin Fei would hardly rember who was who.
Lin Fei’s reflections on the past appeared to Lu Ping as an expression of Lin Fei’s insecurity and speechlessness about his own job situation.
Consequently, the corners of Lu Ping’s mouth curled up even more mockingly, “Before, I heard from our classmates that they saw you setting up a street stall on an overpass, and I didn’t want to believe it.
After all, you were once a prominent figure in our high school.
Now it seems you’re not doing too well for yourself.
But it’s alright, even if you’re just a waiter now, at least you’re working at a Star Hotel, so you’re not unemployed.
Next month our class is having a reunion; you have to co.”
As soon as he finished speaking and saw that Lin Fei seed to be about to refuse with a shake of his head, Lu Ping quickly added, “Maybe our sumr Major General will be there too.
When you left for the army, she was so heartbroken she didn’t go to school for many days in a row.
No matter what, the two of you were a beautiful story of our school.
Now that you’re back from the army, at the very least, you should let her see you.”
Saying this, as if afraid that Lin Fei would refuse to attend, Lu Ping gestured to his female companion to ask for paper and pen at the hotel’s front desk and wrote down the reunion’s ti and place for Lin Fei.
Then, Lu Ping glanced at Lin Fei with a hint of smugness and mockery, took his heavily made-up companion, and left.
After Lu Ping left, Lin Fei stood there like a statue for a very long ti.
“When you left for the army, she was heartbroken for several days in a row and didn’t go to school.” Lu Ping’s words echoed in Lin Fei’s ears like a spell, repeatedly taking him back to those carefree student days.
…
“You, how can you be like this?
Out of the whole class, you’re the only one who doesn’t hand in howork.
If you keep this up, it’s, it’s not okay.”
“I’m begging you.
Please just do the howork once.
If not, I can write it for you.
But you have to stay in the classroom with .
I’m scared of being alone in there.”
And so, a pair of young students remained in the classroom after school.
One wrote, and the other watched.
Day after day went by like this.
Until one day, the boy, entranced by the girl, involuntarily kissed her.
Love began to bloom at that mont.
…
“You can’t keep doing this, not doing the howork.
I, I’ll be unhappy.”
“You, if you don’t do your howork, I, I won’t talk to you anymore.”
“You, you’re writing it wrong.
It should, it should be written like this.”
After getting together, the girl began to gradually educate the boy, who couldn’t just care about sleeping and playing basketball.
As a result, the boy’s grades started to steadily improve.
With the improvent of the boy’s grades and the increase in their conversations, the girl’s face slowly began to show more smiles.
Love, from that mont, began to blossom.
…
“Uncle, Auntie.
They, they definitely wouldn’t want to see you like this.”
“You, you have to pull yourself together.
Even if Uncle and Auntie are gone, there’s still, there’s still
with you.
I will, I will always be with you.”
“Do you really have to go?
Can’t you, can’t you stay for ?”
Following the plane crash that took the life of the boy’s parents, the boy, whose personality changed drastically, resolutely decided to drop out of school and join the military.
Leaving only the girl, her face covered in tears.
Love, from that mont, withered away.
…
“President Lin, President Lin…”
Distracted by Lu Ping’s words that sparked mories, Lin Fei stood dazed in the lobby of the Crown Hotel for a long ti, until Liu Yu, the stunning personal secretary of Director Su Qinglan, happened to pass through the lobby and called out to him several tis in succession.
Thus, Lin Fei managed to break free from those mories and regain his composure.
“President Lin, were you thinking of sothing sad?”
As the perceptive personal secretary to the stunning Director Su Qinglan, Liu Yu certainly had the ability to read people.
Seeing the nearly unconcealed reflection of sorrow in Lin Fei’s eyes and the fact that he stood there dazed, Liu Yu could easily guess that Lin Fei had likely encountered sothing sad.
“Just so mories.”
Feeling down due to the reminiscence and even experiencing a tinge of heartache, Lin Fei had no interest in chatting.
He casually replied to Liu Yu.
Lin Fei then walked out of the Crown Hotel.
“Could it be heartbreak?
That shouldn’t be, though.
I heard that President Lin is quite a playboy.”
Being an adult, although still unmarried, Liu Yu, with a decent figure and face, had her share of romances.
Furthermore, using a woman’s intuition, she keenly sensed that Lin Fei’s low spirits were most likely related to love matters.
However, not knowing Lin Fei’s past and having only heard about Lin Fei’s day-to-day behaviors at Mu Group from the secretaries and assistants of the icy CEO Mu Shanshan, Liu Yu clearly couldn’t quite understand whether Lin Fei was truly sad about love.
Liu Yu’s lack of understanding didn’t prevent the heartache felt by Lin Fei, who had left the Crown Hotel.
Lin Fei might have been fickle in love, but he had also been passionately devoted.
Those who are amorous yet devoted are the most easily heartbroken…
