âYou really wonât give up without seeing the Yellow River.â Li Sheng gave a shrug as he said to him with a look of disdain, âNo wonder my Ning Qiu chose me in the end and not a piece of trash like you.â
âLi Sheng!â Ji Chen grabbed his collar with eyes filled with rage.
âDonât fight.â Luo Qing Chen quickly pulled him back and said to Li Sheng with knit brows, âBefore the competition begins, no one knows the results. If you start bragging now, wait until someone slaps your face.â
Luo Qing Chen knew that based on their simple interaction, there was something between the two of them.
Un, a woman!
âHa, ha.â Li Sheng patted his suit and looked at Luo Qing Chen with a cold gaze before looking at Li Sheng, âGood! Now youâre starting to play with little girls.â
âBased on your appearance, you should be Ji Chenâs uncle! Thirty five.....Ah, you look like youâre forty.â
âYou.....â Ji Chen had a good mind, naturally he could understand the meaning in Luo Qing Chenâs words. He bit his lip and said, âOpen your eyes, big brother is only twenty five.â
âZe, ze, ze.â Luo Qing Chen deliberately looked him over before shaking her head and saying, âYou really donât seem like it.â
âYou......â
âAi.â She cut him off and said with cold eyes, âBlaming your old age on other people looking young, you really are without grace. Of course, youâre calling a twenty year old like me an underaged girl, is there something wrong with your old eyes, or is it......â
She paused before continuing, âI look too good!â
As soon as her voice fell, she didnât look at Li Shengâs face at all, she just dragged the stunned Ji Shen to the empty spot in front.
When she sat down, she said with a faint smile, âHow about, was I handsome just now!â
âStunningly handsome, alright?â Ji Chen looked at her with surprise and said, âDid you see how red with rage Li Sheng looked? With how passive you normally looked, I never thought that someone like you could be so powerful.â
Luo Qing Chenâs lips curled and said with a soft smile, âSo Ning Qiu is......â
âKe, ke.â Ji Chen scratched the back of his head and said with an awkward look, âPast.â
âOh.â Luo Qing Chen looked at his annoyed and angry expression and she couldnât help saying with a smile, âI know, I can hear it.â
âNing Qiu was my childhood friend.â After a while, Ji Chen drank from his strawberry au lait and leaned back as his eyes glazed over with memories. He slowly said, âI didnât understand what love was back then and Ning Qiu was always by my side, so I felt that Ning Qiu should belong to me, always.â
When he said the words childhood friends, Luo Qing Chen slightly knit his brows. It was like the memories frozen deep in her heart suddenly shattered open.
Luo Qing Chen didnât say anything, she just took her drink from the bag and took a sip as she silently listened to him.
âThen there was a national math competition and I went with Ning Qiu, where we met Li Sheng......â
âYou lost?â
âNo, I won the competition.â Ji Chen said with a helpless smile, âBut I lost her.â
âAnd then?â Luo Qing Chen said with a look of enjoying the gossip on her face.
âAnd then?â Ji Chen gave a casual smile and said with narrowed eyes, âThen Ning Qiu ran away with him.â
......
The young man in front of her used a casual tone to explain it like it was unrelated to him, but she could tell from his eyes that his heart was filled with loneliness and pain.
