Actually, even though Shen Xiaomeng turned her head to look back at Hao Chuanze, she couldn't see him at all; her eyes were closed. How could she see him? But she liked to face his direction; as long as she faced him, she could feel his presence.
Love is that simple. In Hao Chuanze's eyes, Shen Xiaomeng was definitely not a beauty. Compared to his status as the number one prince charming in the School of Computer Science, Shen Xiaomeng could be considered an ugly duckling.
Yet he had fallen for her. Just being with her, even without saying a word, just a glance was enough.
He liked her simple happiness.
Shen Xiaomeng was laughing joyfully on the high swing set, her laughter catching the attention of Lin Xi and the others sitting on the lawn.
"Come on, let's go swing too!" Yao Mengni stood up from the grass, looking enviously at the figure swinging nearby.
"Sure!" Lin Xi agreed immediately.
When they reached the swing set, Hao Chuanze was softly talking to Shen Xiaomeng, his head slightly lowered.
Instead of rushing to sit down, Mengni walked up to Hao Chuanze and looked at him closely from left to right.
"Mengni, what are you doing?" Lin Xi approached her with a frown and tugged at her.
Yao Mengni had always been a bit infatuated with handsome guys, but this was too much. Coming to Beijing and immediately trying to get close to a handsome guy? Didn't she see that there was already a girl named Mengmeng by his side?
"Not really," Mengni shrugged off Lin Xi's hand and continued to approach Hao Chuanze.
"Yao Mengni!" Lu Chenyu and Chen Yang called out almost simultaneously. If they didn't stop her now, not only would she lose face, but they would also lose theirs as her friends.
To their surprise, Yao Mengni ignored their warnings and pushed aside Lu Chenyu and Chen Yang, who were trying to stop her.
She boldly stood right in front of Hao Chuanze and said with a cheeky grin, "Hey there, handsome. Could you lift your head so I can see you?"
"Oh my!" Chen Yang exclaimed, slapping his forehead in disbelief as he couldn't bear to watch Mengni's antics.
Lin Xi and Lu Chenyu looked at Yao Mengni with expressions of utter shock. This girl usually flaunted her looks and talents but had some boundaries; she couldn't lose her identity as a lady. After all, she came from a prestigious family and was a talented student from a well-known university.
Shen Xiaomeng's laughter came to an abrupt halt. Not only did Hao Chuanze stop pushing the swing, but he also ceased his faint smile.
He slightly raised his head to look at the bright and beautiful girl in front of him.
“Hao Chuanze, are you Hao Chuanze?” Meng Ni tilted her head, a mischievous and playful smile on her face.
“Yes.” Hao Chuanze nodded, his attitude very gentlemanly, with a scholarly tone.
“Hao Chuanze!”
Meng Ni's astonishing shout startled Lin Xi and Lu Chenyu, causing them to take a step back. It also made Hao Chuanze take a few steps back, frowning as if he were recalling something, looking as if he had come to a realization.
Even Shen Xiaomeng slid down from the swing set.
“Hao Chuanze!” Meng Ni was still in an excited state. “I am Meng Ni, Yao Meng Ni.” She was almost about to throw herself onto Hao Chuanze.
As soon as the name "Meng Ni" left her lips, Hao Chuanze's mouth dropped open, his expression dramatically changing.
“Ni Ni!” he called warmly.
“Mm!” Meng Ni replied while nodding, her surprise and excitement radiating from every cell in her body.
“Oh my, Ni Ni, how did you grow up so fast?”
Hao Chuanze's shoulders slumped as if he had relaxed completely. At the same time, he almost reached out to pat Meng Ni's head and pulled her into his embrace, oblivious to everyone around them as if nothing else existed.
“It hasn't been just a moment; it's been over ten years, okay?” Yao Meng Ni's lips curled up slightly, full of charm.
“Oh, well then, ten years have passed. I thought it was just yesterday when you were still by my side.” Hao Chuanze murmured dreamily, “I woke up one night and you had grown so much, from a little girl into a young lady.”
“But you haven't changed at all! Nothing has changed—your eyes, your smile, your voice—everything.” Yao Meng Ni was practically dancing with joy.
Yao Meng Ni was the same; she looked up at Hao Chuanze with wide eyes filled with light, as if he might fly away with just a blink. In her eyes, there was only him; the rest of the world ceased to exist.
“Who is this person?” Chen Yang was stunned.
He had never seen Yao Meng Ni so infatuated or lovesick before and had never heard of her being in love. Did she not have a boyfriend?
But they are clearly not lovers! That handsome guy has a petite and delicate girlfriend by his side!
At this moment, with confusion in her eyes, Shen Xiaomeng quietly approached Hao Chuanze, her small hand subtly hooking his fingers.
The little girlfriend was challenging the unexpected arrival of Cheng Yaojin! She was declaring her identity; she was the one who had been pursued and confessed to—his legitimate girlfriend!
"Hey! Yao Mengni, running into an old friend in a different place, and you don't even introduce us? Just chatting away on your own?" Chen Yang couldn't help but interrupt the tender exchange between the two.
After all, his girlfriend was right there watching. Even if there were deep feelings in the past, now was not the time to show them.
Seeing the petite girl beside him puffing her cheeks, it was clear she was already protesting and dissatisfied.
"Oh."
Yao Mengni finally reacted, and of course, Hao Chuanze did too. He felt Shen Xiaomeng's hand gently touching his and quickly grasped it tightly before holding it softly.
This was the first time Shen Xiaomeng and Hao Chuanze held hands after dating a few times. Shen Xiaomeng had fantasized many times about a touching hand-holding scene. There were moments like Hu Jiao'er’s—serious yet romantic—and others like in movies where her heart raced, blushing as he secretly took her hand in the dark.
However, Shen Xiaomeng never expected that their hand-holding would happen like this, in front of everyone as she touched his hand.
Although it wasn't romantic or heart-pounding, Hao Chuanze's firm grip and gentle hold gave her great confidence and comfort in front of his past acquaintances—especially in front of beautiful female friends and her own friends. Even without romance or heartbeats, it felt so warm and powerful. "This is my childhood best friend from my hometown, Hao Chuanze," Yao Mengni proudly introduced him to Lin Xi, Lu Chenyu, and Chen Yang.
