The other person's embrace was quick to leave, warm and restrained, just like his appearance gave off a feeling of restraint.

Only when the other party released her did Lin Xi clearly see who the person she had bumped into was. She blurted out a name: "Fu Hengxun?"

Fu Hengxun laughed and said: "It's me, it's been a long time since we last met."

As he spoke, he gestured for Lin Xi to enter the coffee shop to chat so that she wouldn't be blocked at the door and affect her entry.

His words and actions were very polite, and her voice was very gentle. Lin Xi unconsciously followed his instructions and sat down at a table next to the window.

Looking at Fu Hengxun opposite her, she felt a sense of familiarity and unfamiliarity.

Lin Xi did not know him, and the person who knew him was Bai Nianxi.

When their eyes met, all the memories regarding his interactions with Bai Nianxi flooded into Lin Xi's mind in an instant.

Fu Hengxun had met him when he was in university. Moreover, the two of them had a messy relationship with each other that could not be explained.

The university that Bai Nianxi studied in and the university that she studied at were social schools. Every summer vacation, there would be some interaction between the two schools. Bai Nianxi got to know him during one of the summer holidays.

Because of Bai Nianxi's outstanding professional results, she was selected by the teacher to participate in Fu Hengxun's school exchange activities.

However, she had a timid personality, was weak in character, and was not good at interacting with others. Thus, after coming to Fu Hengxun's school, she was not only looked down upon by the students of the school, but even the students of the school who came together with her to interact were very much against her. They also came together to bully her.

Bai Nianxi was bullied, but she did not dare reveal it, and only hid herself to cry.

At that time, Fu Hengxun was the president of the student union at the school, so he was entrusted by the teachers to manage the exchange activities during the summer holidays.

Fu Hengxun was a meticulous and considerate person — at least, in Bai Nianxi's impression of him, it was so.

He found out that something was wrong with Bai Nianxi, and quickly followed along with it as he caught the few people who liked to bully Bai Nianxi.

He handed the students over to the school to deal with them in front of everyone. Two of the students were directly persuaded to leave by the school because their behavior was too vile.

After that, Fu Hengxun took good care of Bai Nianxi, and the two of them slowly went from exchanging pointers to exchanging greetings, their relationship becoming more and more ambiguous. But Bai Nianxi did not dare to think too much about it.

Because not only was Fu Hengxun's appearance good, his ability was outstanding, his family could not be compared to ordinary people. I heard that half of the buildings in their school were built by Fu Hengxun's family.

Fu Hengxun was the prince charming to all girls, but there were many beautiful and talented girls, but Fu Hengxun only had one. Bai Nianxi was well aware of herself, and she was very low on self-esteem. She knew that she was not pretty enough, and her personality was also not that good, so she never dared to think that Fu Hengxun would fall for her.

She interpreted Fu Hengxun's excessive care for her as his pity for the weak. Therefore, she had always been restraining her affection towards him, trying her best to keep the distance between them as a friend. She carefully and secretly loved him, never crossing the line.

But a week before the exchange was about to end, on the way back to his dorm, Fu Hengxun suddenly kissed her forehead while it was dark and the wind was blowing.

Bai Nianxi instantly froze in place. She was both surprised and happy, but her mind was suddenly turned into mush by this sudden kiss. She couldn't even remember when she said her goodbyes and returned to the dorm.

That night, she tossed and turned because of that kiss for the entire night. Then, when the color of the sky lit up like the belly of a fish, she finally made up her mind to confess to Fu Hengxun.

She thought that since Fu Hengxun had kissed her, it meant that he liked her. She also complained that she was too shocked at the time, to the point that she forgot to give him a response …

Fu Hengxun wouldn't think that he had rejected him, right? Bai Nianxi thought messily for an entire night.

Thus, when the sky became completely bright, Bai Nianxi changed into a beautiful skirt in anticipation and found Fu Hengxun to confess.

But Fu Hengxun rejected him.

Bai Nianxi asked him in surprise: "Why? You kissed me last night? "You …"

"I'm sorry, I apologize for my frivolity yesterday." Fu Hengxun's expression showed that he could not bear to do that, and maybe there was even some hesitation and guilt, "But that was an accident. I already have a girlfriend."

The two words he rejected Bai Nianxi, seemed to have been etched into Bai Nianxi's mind. When Lin Xi thought back to it at this moment, she still vividly remembered it, as if it had only happened yesterday.

After being rejected by Fu Hengxun, in order to avoid being awkward, the two of them started to deliberately keep a distance from each other with great tacit understanding, and never spoke a word in private again, let alone got to know each other alone.

The participating students in the summer exchange quickly discovered that Fu Hengxun, who had always been protecting Bai Nianxi, was starting to distance himself from her.

Last time, when everyone was bullied about Bai Nianxi, they all had some complaints in their hearts. However, because the students who had bullied Bai Nianxi before, they were all miserably punished in the end, and this time, no one dared to look for Bai Nianxi openly and unrestrainedly to make things difficult for him. But secretly, a rumor began to spread among them.

Rumours said that Bai Nianxi was a toad that wanted to eat swan meat, and had actually used Fu Hengxun's sympathy to try to seduce him. But luckily, Fu Hengxun was steady and strong, and he wasn't blind, moreover, he already had a school beauty girlfriend, so it wasn't surprising for Bai Nianxi's plan to fail. It was because of this matter that allowed Fu Hengxun to understand the true nature of her love for vanity and her despicable thoughts, which was why he intentionally drew a clear line between himself and her.

Because Fu Hengxun was a big shot in the academy, the news about him spread very quickly and widely. Hence, towards the end of the Exchange, Bai Nianxi shamelessly pretended to be weak in order to deceive Fu Hengxun and gain his sympathy, while the news about him seduced him, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire school.

If it was said that everyone's previous bullying of Bai Nianxi was mostly a physical injury, then saying that she intentionally seduced Fu Hengxun with rumors, would be extremely harsh.

Bai Nianxi had originally been secretly sad because of Fu Hengxun's rejection, but when she heard the unspeakable words of others describing and slandering her relationship with Fu Hengxun, she broke down and cried loudly.

Due to the pressure of the rumors, she left Fu Hengxun's school before the exchange even ended.

Bai Nianxi was ashamed of her rash confession. She did not know that Fu Hengxun already had a girlfriend, nor did she know how she would face him after the rumors spread. Thus, before she left, she blacklisted all contact she had with Fu Hengxun.

It was only until the end of the summer vacation that Bai Nianxi finally appeared in front of her classmates once more.

She returned to her own school and became even more taciturn. But the only thing worth celebrating was that the rumors about her and Fu Hengxun did not spread to the school she was in, so she did not have to endure the ridicule and humiliation again.

Bai Nianxi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but then she closed her mouth and did not mention anything to Fu Hengxun, even though she would often think of him.

Half a semester later, Bai Nianxi unwittingly heard about the follow-up to that year's summer exchange. After she left the fraternity school, Fu Hengxun found the person who spread the rumors first. This time, he didn't hand him over to the school, but directly beat him into the hospital.

At that time, he was quite ruthless, the parents even went to the school a few times to cause trouble, and the Fu family had to expend some effort to get rid of him.

Bai Nianxi quietly listened to the gossip, and secretly hid in her blanket at night and cried until midnight.

After that, she had completely hidden Fu Hengxun's kiss from that night in the deepest and most secluded corner of her heart. She no longer thought about it, and no longer deliberately asked about his news. She treated Fu Hengxun as a daydream she had that summer.

She had had a few crazy thoughts that summer, but when she woke up from the dream, those thoughts had disappeared without a trace …

Bai Nianxi never thought that she would meet Fu Hengxun again, and Lin Xi too.

Although Lin Xi had inherited Bai Nianxi's memories, that was something that she hadn't participated in before, so she didn't usually touch on Bai Nianxi's memories.

Now that she suddenly saw Fu Hengxun, all the memories she had of him surged into her mind. They were so clear and profound, as if the owner of those memories had remembered them over and over again at night, and engraved them deeply in her heart.

Lin Xi was struck by this memory until her head was spinning. She could even vaguely sense what Bai Nianxi felt at that time.

Not only did Bai Nianxi like Fu Hengxun, she even saw him as some sort of spiritual Legacy, and other than Grandfather, she was the most important person.

Her liking for Fu Hengxun was extremely lowly, so she had never questioned why Fu Hengxun had a girlfriend. That night, she had even kissed her.

He felt that he was not worthy of Fu Hengxun, and would only bring him trouble. So for so many years, even though she had always been thinking about him, she didn't dare contact or disturb him …

"You're not the same as before. I almost didn't recognize you." Fu Hengxun suddenly said, pulling Lin Xi back from her memories.

"You're more confident and more beautiful than before. That's great." He was not stingy with his praise. Finally, he said suddenly, "I am very happy to see you again. I miss you very much."

Lin Xi's heart quivered as something suddenly stirred in her chest. Then, a strong feeling rushed into her brain, causing her to reply without thinking, "I missed you a lot too, I've always wanted to."

The moment the words left her mouth, Lin Xi quivered, and even he was shocked.

Even though she had inherited Bai Nianxi's memories, the things that had happened in her memories were not things that she had experienced personally before. So at most, she could be considered a bystander to Bai Nianxi's past life.

Bai Nianxi liked Fu Hengxun, but to Lin Xi, it was only the first time she had met him, so her impression of him was not bad. There's no need to talk about friendship between the two of them, let alone miss you.

If she did not suddenly meet him today, she would not have thought that Bai Nianxi had such a special friend.

As a matter of fact, she shouldn't have said "I missed you too", but she didn't even want to say it out loud.

She said those words just now, but it didn't seem like she said them …

It was unknown if it was because of the concussion last night, but Lin Xi's head started to hurt again.

However, this pain was different from the pain when she woke up this morning. It was as if something was biting her nerves. Fortunately, the pain was not too strong, so she was able to endure it.

Although Lin Xi felt a headache coming on, his eyes seemed to be glued to Fu Hengxun's body, not moving them away at all.

There was a glass screen beside Fu Hengxun's seat, on it could be seen a person's shadow, Lin Xi inadvertently saw her own gaze from it - the gaze she used to look at Fu Hengxun, was unexpectedly filled with undisguised infatuation and adoration.

Lin Xi was shocked, she then reacted and turned her gaze away.

Her heart leaped.

The person who was infatuatedly looking at Fu Hengxun just now was not him! Those were Bai Nianxi's remaining memories and emotions …
