Chunlan walked out of the library after finishing her morning classes when she heard a familiar voice.
"Tang Chunlan!" Su Menxiang ran towards her and grabbed her arm, interlocking their arms together.
"Menxiang!" Chunlan gasped.
"Chunlan, I missed you. Where have you been? I haven't seen you for two months! We have never been apart for so long." Menxiang whɨnėd.
Chunlan fell quiet trying to think of how to deal with this situation. To be honest, she wanted nothing to deal with Menxiang anymore after what happened in their previous life but she couldn't forget all she had done for her back then.
".....I have asked my dad if there is any internship in the company. After my persuasion, he finally spoke up! If you want, you can give it to Jihai. I know he needs it." Menxiang poked her playfully.
She sighed. Even though she was betrayed, she knew she was the one at fault. She should have never given Qishen that satchel or allowed her friend to marry that brute! She have known the misery her friend was living in.
"Thank you, Menxiang." She said quietly.
"There's no need to be this formal among sisters." Menxiang waved her off but observed her closer. "Hey, why are you sad? Don't worry, everything will be okay. Wait, isn't that Jihai?"
Chunlan followed her gaze and was entranced by what she saw. Jihai was sitting in class, wearing a light blue shirt blending with his alabaster skin. He gave out a cold piercing aura, making him unapproachable, but a delight to look at with his red rosy lips and strikingly sharp nose. Most of the girls in the room were looking at him but all he concentrated on was the book in front of him, ignoring his friend who was trying to disturb him.
"Jihai!" She frowned and walked over.
He turned his head at the sound, his face brightened as he saw her approaching and taking a seat beside him. Luckily, there was no teacher yet. "Are you through with your classes today?"
"Not yet. Hi, Longwei." Seeing his friend frozen with shock, she decided she wasn't going to get an answer so she turned to Jihai.
Opening her bag, she took out a jacket and scarf and placed it on the table. She wrapped the scarf around his slender neck and whispered " Jihai, what is wrong with you? Don't you see it is winter? Why aren't you dressing warm? Jihai, you need to learn to take care of yourself."
When she leaned back, she heard a pen drop on the floor. Cai Longwei was staring at her with his mouth open. Flustered, she felt multiple eyes on her as she looked at Jihai. He was looking at her with adoration in his cold black eyes.
She felt herself shrink with all the attention. When she replayed all she said in her head, she noticed she sounded like a doting wife.
Shit.
