Wen Hua had long heard that Lucheng had a rich cultural and historical background, with a mild climate and beautiful scenery. So when her father asked her to come here to study, she agreed without a second thought.
Since it was a negotiation, she had to show her sincerity. Before leaving, President Wen confiscated all of her expensive clothes and daily necessities. She had no objection to everything being simple.
Today was August 31st. She had to report to No. 1 High School tomorrow and had to stay outside for a night.
Wen Hua dragged her suitcase and looked up at the most luxurious hotel in the city. She remembered that Old Wen only sent two thousand Yuan into her card every month, so she gritted her teeth and turned around.
Forget it, the new generation youth was flexible.
It didn't matter where she stayed. She thought it was just to experience life. She comforted herself in her heart.
Most of the things had been taken away, so the suitcase wasn't heavy. After walking a few blocks, she saw a colorful sign that said, "Sleep well at the hotel."
Let's do it.
The hotel was small and old, but it was clean and not as shabby as she had expected. She asked for a big bed room with a balcony, put her things away, and leaned over the railing to look at the night view
It was a dark alley.
This room was not suitable for the road. There were no bright neon lights and heavy traffic downstairs. At this moment, the sky was gradually darkening, and she could barely see the occasional passers-by.
It was silent, which was exactly what she wanted.
Wen Hua looked at the last white edge of the light in the sky that was about to disappear, and her thoughts were somewhat empty.
It was the first time she had come to a strange city alone. Old Wen had come for real this time. Not only did he limit her food and clothes, he did not even find someone to escort her when she boarded the plane.
Ever since she was young, other parents had taught their children that if they did not study well, they would be taken away by witches. Old Wen loved to give orders. If they did not study well, they would have to get married in the future.
When she grew up, this word had become her curse. She hated being controlled and hated all relationships that were linked by interests. Although she knew that he only said it verbally most of the time, some things were inevitable when she was born into such a family.
When everything was going well in the company, of course, everyone was willing to greet her with a smile and call her Miss. When the company had problems, she would be the first person to be pushed out as a candidate to exchange for the company's benefits. The group of people on the board of directors were used to making profits and scheming.
In order to prevent such an incident from happening, she signed an agreement with Old Wen. If she could concentrate on her studies under difficult circumstances and secure the number one position in the school and graduate smoothly, he would sign and stamp his seal to agree that she would not be married.
Old Wen would definitely be reluctant to let her have a marriage alliance. She knew this. Signing that agreement was to show it to the board of directors. They had to strike first. In the future, if something really happened to the company, they could not be thick-skinned enough to suggest bad ideas.
Wen Hua lowered her eyes and saw a person leaning under the osmanthus tree in the alley.
The man was wearing a black cap. His face could not be seen clearly. He was tall and slender. The side of his face was glowing white under the dim street lights in the alley. He had one hand in his pocket and the other hand was casually tapping on his phone. He looked relaxed and casual.
The man had an outstanding figure. Just his profile alone gave off an aura that could poison a person's mind. In the Osmanthus Alley in the late summer evening, there was an indescribable beauty to the scene.
It was said that the alleyway in Lucheng was simple and quiet. It felt good to take a walk at night.
It was 8:30, still early. Since she was bored, she decided to go for a walk.
There was an osmanthus tree planted a few meters away in the alley. The entire alley was filled with the rich fragrance of flowers. When she went down, the person who had been leaning under the tree was already gone. Wen Hua walked a few streets with her earphones on. She felt that Lucheng was a good place to cultivate her body and mind.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded. She looked up and saw three boys with tattoos on their arms looking at her with elation.
"Beauty, are you out for a walk alone?"
Wen Hua clenched her fists and ignored them.
There were few people in the depths of the alley, and few people came and went. She did not expect to meet hooligans. She calculated in her mind how many streets she had just walked, and if she could run out before they caught up to her.
"Sister, it's boring to walk alone. Do you want us to accompany you? As long as you ask, we're willing to do anything, whether it's walking or drinking with you."
"I'm not alone. I'm waiting for my boyfriend."
They obviously did not believe her. "Why are you waiting for your boyfriend? Why don't you hang out with us instead?"
The blonde standing in the middle looked at her more and more impudently. Finally, he stopped his gaze on her smooth legs and smiled wretchedly. "Of course, other than drinking and taking a walk, if you want to sleep, we'll also..."
