In the center of a group of girls that seemed to be waiting for a cab, there was a tall girl with long brown hair tied into a ponytail. She was beautiful and had a kind smile. She was easily outstanding within her group. She also linked arms with a short-haired girl looking like close-friends.
That was Yu Xueyan and she looked nothing like when Chen Jingyun last saw her.
She was the girl, Chen Jingyun tormented two years ago.
She often talked with her psychologist about that time and worked on her attitude issues. Yu Xueyan's name was brought up a few times as she was the principal victim who was on the receiving end of all her personal issues.
Seeing her made her think about her terrible past, and how no one truly liked her. She didn't even like herself! She was always jealous and nothing was ever good enough.
She had forgiven herself, but she never felt like the matter has ended. It would always follow her around. Maybe it was because she hasn't talked to Yu Xueyan. She hasn't truly apologized yet.
But despite everything she felt about herself or her, she was glad that Yu Xueyan was in a completely better place.
"Are you interested in her?"
"I just think she's very pretty." Luo Shao shrugged, he looked careless, but he was truthful with the way his eyes lingered.
"Want me to get her number for you?" Su Long smirks confidently.
"...I don't know man." Luo Shao instantly blushes. "I don't think she..."
Rolling his eyes, Su Long grooms his appearance before walking towards the girls in a confident matter.
His sudden actions catching the attention of many girls. They were wondering, who was the lucky girl to have been noticed by Su Long?
Finally, he reached Yu Xueyan's group, smoothly talking his way in as he made them giggle. Then, after a while making small talk, he looked back and pointed at them. Making the rest follow.
Chen Jingyun unconsciously hid behind Li Minghao. A part of her didn't want to be seen by Yu Xueyan. She wasn't ready to face her.
"What? Nervous about girls?" Li Minghao glances at her with his eyebrows raised in question.
"Not at all. I'm just...getting behind you to block the wind. You're a great wall. Congratulations!"Chen Jingyun created a random excuse but he wasn't buying it. Instead, he turned around completely and towered over her.
"Ah, the privilege of the short." Li Minghao chuckles beautifully but Chen Jingyun didn't even notice because she was busy peaking at the situation in front.
"Have you ever dated before?" Li Minghao asks not minding the little bunny using him to hide. In his eyes, Chen Jingyun was acting quite cute and amusing. He thought Chen Jingyun was an inexperienced guy that was very shy with girls.
"Nope." Chen Jingyun pops the 'p' and stands straight not peeking any longer. She saw the short-haired girl pointing at her. "What about you? You must have tons of girlfriends before."
Li Minghao shakes his head.
"They are too troublesome."
Chen Jingyun raised her eyebrows. Excuse me?
Seeing the meaning of her glance he explains further.
"When you are as handsome and wealthy as me, you will understand that what they truly like are those and not this amazing personality." He places a palm on his chest looking righteous.
"Which is all about roasting?"
"You could say so." Li Minghao moves his head side to side as if he is weighing on something.
"What about rich and pretty girls?"
"The situation doesn't change much. I am the son in law even your father wants."
"Geez, so much for humility."
"Thanks."
"What about Sister Feng?" Chen Jingyun continues firing questions at Li Minghao's love life. "Why did you reject her?"
Li Minghao pauses. "That is... a story for another time, kid." And ruffles Chen Jingyun's hair as if she was a kid.
"Hey! I'm not a kid!" Chen Jingyun swatted his hand away and punched him, but Li Minghao wasn't faced with such a tiny attack.
"Sure, kid."
They smile at each other and kept on making small talk. Yu Xueyan was no longer in Chen Jingyun's mind. Right now, she will continue on her life as Qin Yun and not cross her path. And if she did, she would treat her kindly. When she went back to her previous identity she will find her and genuinely apologize.
When Su Long came back, he had a smile.
He succeeded.
