Chi Yu left the Hotspring Villa that sa day, but that evening he posted a friend circle update, which Song Luokui saw.
It was just a picture, a very familiar one, of the table in the pavilion on the mountaintop where the two of them had been. There were teacups and steaming hot tea on the table, with wisps of steam wafting up. It was obvious that two people had been drinking tea there.
As for who he was drinking tea with, only a handful of people knew.
Song Luokui blinked, and eventually gave it a 'like'.
Song Luokui and her group stayed at the Hotspring Villa for three days before returning, while on the other side, Wei Qing finally learned who had been dining with Chi Yu. It turned out to be Song Luosheng's sister, Song Luokui!
Looking at the photo in the file, and the feat Song Luokui had perford at school, Wei Qing's eyes were filled with interest. She hadn't expected Song Luosheng's sister to be so... truly enviable.
However, if Song Luosheng's sister was so close with Chi Yu, did that an the relationship between Song Luosheng and Chi Yu was just a facade?
Wei Qing never imagined that Song Luosheng was completely unaware of Song Luokui's dinner with Chi Yu.
On Song Luokui's side, when she saw the news that Hali Kaisi was coming to Hua Country, she imdiately rembered what Chi Yu had said.
Song Luokui got up and decided to go to her brother's company.
Many people at the company were already familiar with her - the extrely good-looking sister of their great boss who also had a wonderful personality. Just seeing her was a treat for the eyes.
"Hello, Miss Song."
"Miss Song, are you here to see the boss?"
Song Luokui: "Hello, yes I am."
She arrived at Song Luosheng's office, and he seed a bit surprised. "Why did you co?" He hadn't asked her to bring him food recently, and Luokui didn't seem too keen on coming here, saying the office had a rather gloomy atmosphere, so she didn't visit often. Song Luosheng was quite surprised to see her co of her own accord.
Song Luokui: "Nothing much... just ca to see you. Oh, I saw in the news that Hali Kaisi has co to our country. I rember when we went to Country A, you seed to be trying to et with him?"
If it weren't for what had happened back then, her brother would probably have t with Hali Kaisi, but it seed Hali Kaisi hadn't arrived at the venue, and then left Country A a few days later, so Song Luosheng never got to et him.
Song Luosheng felt Song Luokui was acting a bit strange today. "Yeah, so what about it?"
Song Luokui: "Do you want to work with Hali Kaisi, brother?"
Song Luosheng put down his pen. "Who told you anything?"
Song Luokui: "...No one. I just looked into it, and it seems Hali Kaisi has so not-so-good reputation. I'm a bit worried that if you work with him, there might be so negative consequences."
Song Luosheng: "A lot of what's online is made up. Don't I also have so bad reviews online myself?"
Now it was Song Luokui's turn to be surprised. "You have bad reviews? I thought everyone just praises how good-looking you are?"
Song Luosheng: "...Luokui, in the business world, it's not just about looks."
Song Luokui shrugged. "So do people actually praise how good-looking you are?"
Song Luosheng: "...Well, there is that." There was even a comnt online saying that he and Chi Yu had saved everyone's aesthetic standards for business tycoons, since many tycoons really didn't look that great... Then these two extrely outstanding ones suddenly appeared, and people finally felt that the faces of tycoons in novels had beco real.
Song Luokui took out her phone to look for bad reviews about Song Luosheng. "Let see what people are saying to criticize you."
She went directly to Song Luosheng's social dia account to check the comnts on his posts, which were all just re-shares of Songhua Technology's new product launches and so on.
His newest post had quite a lot of comnts, over ten thousand of them. Song Luokui clicked in to take a look...
"Big brother, you're so handso! Post a selfie, please!"
"Poor big brother boss [pitiful], save these kids, give us so eye candy (post a selfie)"
"This is the first ti I've seen you online, big brother, and I knew right away my heart had fallen for you [shy]. I've given you my heart, big brother, when will you give yours? [shy]"
The top comnts were just a string of fawning confessions of love.
Song Luokui showed him the screen. "Look, where are the criticisms? These complints outdo even what I could co up with."
Song Luosheng: "...Co to think of it, I haven't seen you buttering up since you grew up?"
Song Luosheng imdiately comnted under his own post. "Just you wait, I'll leave you a comnt." After typing for a bit, he posted.
Song Luosheng finally opened the 999 notifications. The newest one was from Luokui's account saying: My brother is unquestionably the most beautiful person in Hua Country!
Song Luosheng covered his face: "..."
Song Luokui: "Alright, I didn't co here to talk about this. About Hali Kaisi..."
Song Luosheng cut her off. "I'll look into everything thoroughly. He did contact about working together, but a collaboration isn't sothing to be done hastily. I'll investigate all aspects before making a decision."
Song Luokui: "Okay, I'll head back then."
Song Luosheng stood up. "So soon?" He checked the ti, then stood. "Co on, there's a mall nearby. I'll go with you and buy you whatever you want."
Song Luokui: "Alright then."
Song Luokui followed Song Luosheng around the mall and left with plenty of purchases. After returning to his office, Song Luosheng called Lin Xingyan. "Xingyan, find a private investigator overseas to look into Hali Kaisi's background."
"Got it."
As the weather grew colder, one evening Song Luokui was reading in her room when Aunt Gui's voice ca from outside: "Young Miss, it's snowing outside."
Song Luokui imdiately went to the window to look. Sure enough, flakes of white snow were falling. She opened the window and stretched out her hand - a snowflake landed on her palm, icy cold. The snow had arrived particularly late this year.
anwhile, Chi Yu was working late in his office. When he looked up, he saw the heavy snowfall outside. After watching for a while, he imdiately grabbed his coat and left the office.
He drove back to the mansion and the first thing he did was head towards the Song residence nearby. From his vantage point, he could see Song Luokui's window where a figure was standing - it was clearly her.
Chi Yu took out his phone and dialed a number. "It's . Would you like to... co out?"
Song Luokui: "Hm?"
Chi Yu: "I'm downstairs from your ho."
Song Luokui imdiately went to the side balcony and leaned out. She saw the familiar car not far from her house, and could vaguely make out Chi Yu on the phone.
Song Luokui: "Why did you co?"
Chi Yu: "The first snow. Want to watch it together?" After saying those words, there was a long silence on the other end.
Chi Yu thought she might not co out after all, and his hopeful heart sank a little. Just as he was about to say sothing, a voice finally ca through. "Okay, wait for then."
"Sure." Chi Yu's sinking heart lifted, pounding hard. A soft laugh ca from inside the car.
Song Luokui bundled up warmly, snuck downstairs, and quietly opened the door before running out.
Chi Yu was standing by the car door. Seeing her run over, he opened the door for her to get in.
Chi Yu then got into the passenger seat himself, and drove away.
Song Luokui: "Where are we going?" She thought they'd just stay nearby.
Chi Yu: "To watch the snow."
