The corner of Miyamoto Li's mouth curved into a light smile, "Five years have passed and I feel that nothing here has changed, as if everything has changed again. If it wasn't for Chen Ying introducing you to me that day, I'm afraid I wouldn't even dare to recognize you on the road."
Bai Yuexi laughed dryly, "There is nothing in this world that doesn't change. Furthermore, you have a lot of bewitched girls in school, so it's normal for you not to remember me."
The corner of Miyamoto Li's mouth raised into a wry smile, "Really? "No matter how many people there are, they can't compare to the one and only thing in my heart. When I was in university …"
He wanted to continue, but Bai Yuexi coughed a few times with all her might, causing her face to instantly turn pale as the pain in her chest grew even worse.
Miyamoto Li suddenly stood up, and looked at her worriedly, "Have you coughed too much, or have you caught a cold? Why don't we hurry to the hospital? "
As he said that, he reached out to help Bai Yuexi up, but she skillfully dodged his hand.
With great difficulty, Bai Yuexi laughed, "I am not that delicate, I am in good health."
Miyamoto Li frowned, a complex expression flashing past his eyes, "Actually, those matters have already been passed on for a long time. Even though you rejected me at that time, I really liked you from the bottom of my heart."
Bai Yuexi was startled, she did not expect that after so many years, he would be able to personally hear these words.
She avoided his gaze and said with her head lowered, "You also said that it was already the past and people should look ahead. I'm different now, I've divorced and am now married. I have no choice but to come out to eat with you today."
Miyamoto Li sat across her once again, "Han Feng told me everything about you, do you still remember him?"
Bai Yuexi chuckled, and thought back to what happened that year.
"After you left, he even came over to teach me a lesson. How could I possibly forget him?"
"I apologize for him." Miyamoto Li looked at Bai Yuexi with incomparable seriousness.
Bai Yuexi waved his hand, and smirked, "It's already the past, I didn't even put it in my heart, and the one who should apologize is me."
In fact, it was a lie to say that he didn't care. Only after experiencing the pain and suffering did he know how much damage someone could do to another person.
Back then when Han Feng found Bai Yuexi, he attributed all the problems to her and said that if she did not pass the flowers to Chen Ying, even if she had only rejected him, he would not have been able to leave the country.
Bai Yuexi faced the accusation, and without saying a single word, she silently lowered her head and endured this.
However, only she knew how much she liked Miyamoto Li back then. If it was someone else, she would definitely not let them reach this step. But that person was Chen Ying, her best friend.
Therefore, facing that burning love, Bai Yuexi decided to let go. Even if her heart was empty, she wouldn't regret her choice.
Everyone said that time was the cure for everything. Sure enough, that first love was eventually buried in the dust, unable to take root again.
She had married Ling Yun, and wanted to live a normal life, but her dreams were shattered. Now that she had fallen in love with a man she shouldn't have, she didn't know what would happen in the future.
"I also learned from him that you were completely deceived when you married him."
Her voice was faint, as if carrying a trace of emotion. Bai Yuexi lowered her head to look at the coffee cup on the table, which reflected her face, making it so that it was unclear.
"Yeah, when I treated you like that before, it was because the heavens gave me the punishment that I met such a scum."
Bai Yuexi lifted the coffee in his hand, looked at him with a smile, and subconsciously clenched her fingers.
Right at this moment, the waiter came up with the dishes, and glanced at the dishes on the table. Bai Yuexi was very shocked, all of the things Miyamoto Li had ordered were things she liked, she did not expect it to be so long since he remembered her preferences.
The two of them lowered their heads and continued eating in silence. Bai Yuexi was calculating something in her heart, although it was hard to say it out loud, she had to get rid of this case in order to resign.
After eating, Bai Yuexi took out the contract letter from her bag and handed it over to him, "I believe that our company mentioned about the collaboration before, and the reason I asked you out today was actually for the contract. Although it's a bit embarrassing, I'll still take a look."
"No need to look."
Bai Yuexi panicked and quickly said, "Actually the contract conditions that our company has given us are quite good, do you want to consider it …"
"What I mean is, there's no need to look at it. As long as you ask for it, I will agree to it." The smile on Miyamoto Li's face was like the spring breeze.
Bai Yuexi's pupils intensely shrank, as she looked at him in disbelief, "Could it be that you're not afraid that I'm lying to you?"
"Even if you lied to me, I would still agree to your request. I don't know why, but every time I see you, I feel especially good. Your every move and smile will affect my mood. From the past until now, this feeling is very subtle."
His expression was light and relaxed, but the heat in her eyes made Bai Yuexi lower her head in shame.
The man in front of her was the first love that all girls yearned for in their dreams. He was rich and virtuous, like a gentleman with a warm jade-like smile on his face, as if he couldn't find even a speck of filth in his life.
And because of this, during the three years that Bai Yuexi had been gone, she desperately made herself love Ling Yun for the sake of healing his injuries, which resulted in him being riddled with scars.
Only now did she finally confirm that she deserved it. It was a punishment that the heavens had given him.
The smile on Miyamoto Li's face was like the heavens had ruthlessly slapped her. Even his heart was trembling.
She was in a daze when the door to the private room opened and a waiter pushed in another dish.
The sky outside had changed, a fierce wind suddenly blew. Bai Yuexi and the others were sitting at the window, and she could not help but cough violently. The cough moved her chest, causing her to be in so much pain that she could not straighten her waist.
Miyamoto Li stood up abruptly, and asked anxiously: "Your complexion is not good, what's going on?"
He pulled Bai Yuexi up from the ground and probed her forehead with his finger, he was shocked, "You have a fever!"
Bai Yuexi forced out a smile, her face was drenched in cold sweat, "I'm fine, I'm fine … "Cough, cough …"
"I'll take you to the hospital!" Without saying a word, Miyamoto Li carried Bai Yuexi and walked out the door.
Bai Yuexi unhonestly moved in his arms, "Quickly put me down, I … Cough cough … "You can go …"
She was in so much pain that she could barely speak. The moment she coughed, it was as if a knife had stabbed into her chest.
Miyamoto Li looked at the pale-faced Bai Yuexi in his arms and quickened her pace to walk outside. However, he accidentally bumped into the incoming woman, causing his heart to burn with anxiety, so much that he didn't even notice who the one who crashed into him was.
On the contrary, Bai Yuexi's narrowed eyes saw the fallen Li Ya. She was stunned for a moment, then a sinister smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
