"Did you not meet him before coming to school? Did he not walk you to school?" Qinglan asked.
Lin Xi shook her head and said, "That day, my Mama told me how she tried to keep him at our house for dinner, asking him to wait for me to come back before leaving, but he refused. After hearing what my Mama said, I got angry too. I felt like he had changed and didn't love me at all anymore. So later, I didn't want to see him either. I didn't contact him when coming to school."
"What about now? Have you contacted him?" Qinglan asked again.
Lin Xi lowered her head, pulling at the grass by her feet, shaking her head.
"You haven't contacted him for so long? Why don't you take the initiative to reach out to him?" Qinglan continued to ask.
Lin Xi looked up at Qinglan but said nothing, tears streaming down her face.
Qinglan stood up and took out a tissue, handing it to Lin Xi. "Lin Xi, who is it that you really like? Is it Brother An?"
Qinglan's gaze at Lin Xi was filled with concern.
"No," Lin Xi denied decisively as she raised her eyes. "The person I love is Lu Chenyu; I can't let go of him. I always feel like he is hiding something from me."
"Since the person you love is him and you can't let go of him, why not directly and firmly tell him? If you feel like he has something on his mind, why not just ask him directly?" Qinglan questioned.
After Qinglan's persuasion and guidance, Lin Xi agreed to contact Lu Chenyu after returning to school.
Unexpectedly, just as Qinglan and Lin Xi returned to school, they ran into a female classmate from Lin Xi's dormitory at the school gate who told Lin Xi, "Your boyfriend is here, the one who came last time." The girl emphasized with an additional remark.
Qinglan and Lin Xi exchanged smiles.
Qinglan was about to leave when Lin Xi hurriedly grabbed her and said, "You haven't met him yet! Perfect timing; let's meet today." Lin Xi smiled playfully, took out her phone to check the time, and it was just time for lunch. "Come on, let's go eat together."
Qinglan thought for a moment. In fact, she was quite eager to meet Lu Chenyu. She had heard Lin Xi talk about him often, but they had hardly met. She wanted to see what kind of person this boy was, who could make Lin Xi let go of An Shaojie but not of him.
As she walked with Lin Xi to her dormitory building, they spotted a striking boy standing under a Phoenix Tree amidst the crowd. He was tall and imposing, dressed neatly in a gray suit. Although there was a hint of fatigue on his face, it did not diminish his sunny demeanor.
Next to him stood another boy and a girl who were chatting away. Their lively conversation did not seem to affect the pensive mood of the person beside them.
Lin Xi spotted that eye-catching figure from a distance and immediately ran towards the one she had been longing to see, leaving Qinglan behind.
When she reached him, Lin Xi was already out of breath and her face was flushed. She asked, "What are you doing here?"
Before Lu Chenyu could respond, a strong punch landed on her arm. "Hey, do you only have eyes for Lu Chenyu? What about me and Chen Yang standing right here? Are we invisible?"
That was indeed the case! Lin Xi had not even noticed that the two people standing next to Lu Chenyu were Yao Mengni and Chen Yang.
Or rather, Lin Xi hadn't expected them to come.
Of course! Standing next to Lu Chenyu was none other than Yao Mengni, exuding a vibrant, mature, and sexy youthful energy. And there was Chen Yang, looking sharp and fresh with his buzz cut.
"Wow, how come you two are here too? With one dressed like this and the other like that, who would recognize you?" Lin Xi exclaimed as she playfully hit Yao Mengni and stomped her foot.
Yao Mengni looked herself up and down and said, "What’s wrong with my outfit? Isn’t it the same as before?" She then turned to Lu Chenyu and asked, "Hey, Lu Chenyu, do I look different from before?"
"Just look at your hair," Lin Xi pointed out. "You dyed it again and permed it."
"Girls dyeing and perming their hair isn’t really good; I think straight black hair looks better," Lu Chenyu said as he glanced at Yao Mengni with a serious expression.
"Hey!" Yao Mengni said somewhat unconvinced, "Is it just your Lin Xi who is pretty, alright!"
Lin Xi smiled lightly, hmm! It seems that Lu Chenyu still likes her in his heart. In his eyes, she remains the pure Lin Xi from high school.
"And what about Chen Yang? Why did you suddenly cut your hair so short? You've never had a hairstyle like this before!" Lin Xi pouted, looking aggrieved, "How am I supposed to recognize you?"
"Alright, Chen Yang hasn't dyed or permed his hair, just a standard student look. You still think it's not good? Your Lu Chenyu is the best, hasn't changed at all?" Before Chen Yang could speak, Yao Mengni interjected for him, "Haven't you noticed that among the three of us, Lu Chenyu has changed the most? He looks like someone about to have a heartbreak, yet you can still recognize him."
"Where has he changed? He's still so handsome." Lin Xi bit her lip and stood in front of Lu Chenyu, smiling lightly.
"Wow, such a straightforward confession." Yao Mengni exaggeratedly opened her mouth wide and stared with wide eyes, then tugged at Chen Yang beside her and said, "Looks like we two came at the wrong time this time. There's no food to eat; someone is going to leave us behind."
Chen Yang replied irritably, "What are you afraid of? You have your childhood friend here; you can contact him right away, and he'll come running to treat you to a meal. As for me, I'm just an orphan with no milk to drink."
Mentioning Hao Chuanze, Yao Mengni fell silent. Seeing the two bickering made Lin Xi even happier; Chen Yang's retort on behalf of Yao Mengni was also a form of revenge for her.
After the teasing was over, Lin Xi finally asked how they suddenly decided to meet in Beijing.
"Your Lu Chenyu, studying geology, needs to do an internship to assess geological conditions. His parents happen to be working in Tibet during this time, so he chose to intern there and came by to see you." Yao Mengni spoke first. "As for me and Chen Yang, we need to investigate an urban economic construction project. My family has a relative in Beijing, so I chose to come here for the investigation. And Chen Yang, well, he wanted to see someone, so I packed him along."
Yao Mengni playfully nudged Chen Yang's shoulder and chuckled, then added, "Actually, our main purpose for coming to Beijing is still to see you. We've missed you so much, haven't we?" After saying that, she raised an eyebrow at Lu Chenyu and the standing Lin Xi. When Yao Mengni's gaze landed on Lin Xi, she suddenly noticed Qinglan. She stepped forward and said, "Lin Xi, if I'm not mistaken, this must be the other branch of the olive tree you've often mentioned in front of me—Qinglan, right?" There was a teasing tone in Yao Mengni's voice. She couldn't help it; it was her nature to be articulate, quick-witted, humorous, and straightforward—so once she spoke, she didn't hold back.
