Thus, by chance, she entered the Second Courtyard. She was just testing her luck but didn't expect to see Ning Xiaoxiao, who was squinting her eyes, in the examination room.

Chen Chen did not know how to describe his feelings at the time. He was secretly glad that he did not know what he was feeling. There was even a hint of happiness within his happiness that made it so that others would not know about it.

It was just like when he was young and was secretly watching a human movie. It was extremely satisfying, but he couldn't tell anyone else about it.

Fortunately, Ning Xiaoxiao didn't seem to care why she came looking for her. The two of them looked out of the window quietly, their minds filled with their own thoughts.

However, it was hard to tell if they had each other in their hearts.

"This is my second time coming here!"

After some time, Ning Xiaoxiao withdrew her gaze from the window and poured herself another glass of wine.

Bi Yichen did not interrupt her. He wanted to hear her story, but Ning Xiaoxiao had poured a glass of wine for him and never said a word.

Instead, he looked out the window once again.

She didn't lie. Today was her second time coming to the top floor of this hotel, but the last time she had come was in the middle of summer. It was the hottest time of the year, but now it was the tail of winter.

However, the scenery outside the window didn't seem that different from the last time she came here. She really had to thank An Hai for the humid heat in the low latitudes, making the weather of the city less distinct.

The last time she came was when she was in her sophomore year. She wore a long white dress, and her black, supple, and long hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Her heart was filled with the most secretive thoughts of a young girl.

Opposite her sat her thoughts.

Ning Xiaoxiao, who was already in her second year of university, was like all the other girls who loved to look pretty. She paid attention to her appearance and her movements were much more restrained. She no longer looked like a boy.

Originally, when she had just entered the school, there were many naughty boys who had their eyes on her and followed behind her.

It was just that Ning Xiaoxiao, who had only matured a little late, did not have any inkling of her appearance. Only in her sophomore year did she look like a smoked willow tree.

Thus, he was more concerned about his appearance. There were many people in the school who liked Ning Xiaoxiao.

After meeting Lu Qing, all the men became nothing but clouds in her heart, and she couldn't hold anyone in her eyes anymore.

Because of his cooperation with the school, Lu Qing had been a frequent visitor at universities for more than a year. Naturally, he was also a frequent visitor at parties.

As long as the school held a party, the one who would be the first to be invited would be Lu Qing, who had donated the building to the school.

Ning Xiaoxiao, who had already made up her mind to seduce Lu Qing, naturally would not let go of any opportunity to show off her skills.

Thus, she would attend the parties in her academy, the school, and all sorts of other random parties, using all sorts of methods.

If she didn't know how to play ballet, she would practice until her toes were covered in blisters. If she couldn't play the piano well, then she would ask the teacher. At that time, she didn't have much to live on.

To be taught by expensive pianists, living on three dollars a day at the expense of careful accounting.

The multi-talented and sweet-looking Ning Xiaoxiao attracted even more attention from the boys. However, the person she wanted to attract had never once stopped to look at herself.

Even during the party, there was no brief exchange of gazes. Upon realizing what had happened, Ning Xiaoxiao felt a sense of defeat, as though she wanted to give up.

She had signed up for this dance school party a long time ago, or was it a ballet?

She knew what a fool it was to dance among the dancers.

But she had heard that Lu Qing would definitely come today and even sat in the first row. How she longed for him to have her in his eyes.

Thus, no matter how awkward or embarrassing it was, she would grit her teeth and persevere.

Thinking about how persistent she was towards Lu Qing, a mocking smile appeared on Ning Xiaoxiao's face.

"I didn't know anything when I first came here!"

Ning Xiaoxiao's eyes held a trace of sadness, and she unconsciously straightened her back.

Seeing Bi Chen's reaction, a smile appeared on her face. It was as if she didn't care about what he thought at all. She just wanted to cherish the memory of her foolish self.

Ning Xiaoxiao would never be able to forget it in her entire life. That was the first time Lu Qing's gaze landed on her during a party.

Ning Xiaoxiao's heart began pounding. The frenzied drumbeats affected her judgment of the music, causing her footsteps to become disorderly.

Obviously, off-stage, Lu Qing had also seen her lose her composure. He lowered his head with a smile and covered the corner of his mouth.

Even though he was covering the corners of his mouth, Ning Xiaoxiao could see the smile that he was unable to conceal. She immediately felt even more sorrowful.

He had finally managed to meet her gaze once again, but now she had messed it up.

This feeling of frustration lasted until the end of her performance.

"May I have the pleasure of inviting you, my lady?"

Ning Xiaoxiao was so disappointed that she wanted to change her clothes and go back to her dorm to cry.

However, just as they reached the small path that led to the backstage, a black shadow blocked their path.

Even if that shadow was pitch-black and couldn't identify anything, she could still recognize that it was Lu Qing just by relying on her breathing.

The heart that had just calmed down started beating furiously in her chest once again. The person opposite her also didn't make a sound, as if he was waiting for her reply.

She took a deep breath and slightly restrained her heart.

"Lu …"

Before she finished yelling her name, Lu Qing suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her into his embrace.

Feeling the unique smell on Lu Qing, Ning Xiaoxiao didn't recover until she arrived at the hotel. At that time, she seemed to be sitting in this very place.

Or the other side? Or was it that place?

After drinking two glasses of red wine, she felt a little tipsy and her memories became a little chaotic.

Seeing Ning Xiaoxiao's flushed face and her dazed gaze as she looked around, he decided it was more fun to sleep. Therefore, he poured her another glass of wine.

"There, there?"

Ning Xiaoxiao randomly pointed at her surroundings. She could not remember the exact location, but she could still clearly remember everything that happened that day.

How could she forget the girl's first secret love affair? Even that person's face in her memory became clearer and clearer.

Thinking of this, Ning Xiaoxiao got up from her stool. Everyone had gone home to reunite, and there was no one on the top floor of the hotel.

Therefore, she had unknowingly provided her with a vast space. Ning Xiaoxiao then started to dance the ballet that she had danced wrongly.
