In the eyes of her friends, Nanxi is a girl with simple thoughts and quite clueless!

But is she really clueless?

Not necessarily.

But Nanxi didn’t want to appear too clever, believing that people with complex thoughts tend to lead tiring lives.

She believes: What truly belongs to you wouldn’t be taken by others’ schemes; what does not belong to you won’t be obtained even if you plot against others!

Student life should be purely beautiful.

There’s no need to impose too many worldly shackles, making this precious and wonderful period of life discolored and dull!

Now faced with graduation, Nanxi wondered if she would have to confront many things she formerly didn’t have to ponder over, as they may unfold before her eyes!

She held her phone, waiting for the man at the end of the line to respond.

Suddenly every minute and second seemed stretching out.

She glanced sideways at the street scene outside!

Bustling, but strange!

In that case, why wouldn’t she guard that only familiar and warm place behind her?

She is truly irretrievable!

The man on the phone finally responded, “It’s like this, Miss Gu.

Mr.

Lu will be on a business trip tomorrow.

It will probably take three to five days …”

“What?

A business trip?” Nanxi clenched her teeth.

Last time when Lu Yinchu was away on business, it wasted a whole week, and now he’s going on another trip!

But the non-compensatory break clause in the contract only lasts for half a month.

She cannot afford any delay.

After all, Lu Yinchu is a businessman, considering profits as priority.

It is possible for him to delay schedule using such methods!

Although in her subconscious, she didn’t want to think him as a selfish and shrewd man!

“Then … when will Mr.

Lu finish his meeting?

I’d like to see him before he goes on a trip, is that alright?”

“It won’t take long, I promise …” To avoid being rejected by Mo Yan, Nanxi added.

Mo Yan whispered as if reporting a schedule.

“Mr.

Lu will be very busy all day today.

After the meeting, he will have two phone interviews.

There is a reception at noon, and the afternoon schedule is almost filled.

But…”

“You said!” Seeing hope, Nanxi urged.

“Yet around seven in the evening, Mr.

Lu will attend a banquet and probably will be free before nine.

After that, he’ll have time …”

“Nine in the evening?” Nanxi felt a bit difficult, as it seemed a bit late.

On the other end of the line, Mo Yan added, “Mr.

Lu’s flight is at seven tomorrow morning.

He has to rest around eleven tonight, so the time I can get for Miss Gu is only two hours tonight …”

Only two hours?

Isn’t it too tight?

Nanxi bit her lip, “Then … let it be tonight!”

…

When Nanxi returned to the dormitory, she caught up with Yang Su and Lan Qiqi, who were about to go for lunch.

She decided to join them.

They ate at the second-floor canteen, not anywhere else, just having hot and spicy skewers.

Nanxi didn’t add a lot of chilli, instead she added a lot of vinegar.

Yang Su joked, “Nanxi, does your Li Weihuan know about your love for vinegar?”

Nanxi looked up at her, “I don’t believe you won’t eat vinegar someday!”

“Ha ha!” Yang Su laughed, “I can tell you that, the man who can make me jealous hasn’t appeared yet!”

Nanxi shook her head, but deep down she was curious.

Yang Su and Lan Qiqi were from the same city.

They had pursued their studies together in H City from far away.

But for four years, they both were still single …

Thinking of something, Nanxi lifted her head and took a glance at Yang Su, then at Lan Qiqi.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, “Susu, Lanlan, are you two …

the so-called that?”

“That?” Yang Su was still puzzled.

Meanwhile, Lan Qiqi already had Nanxi in an armfold, raised her eyebrow and said, “Nanxi, I didn’t tell you a secret before.

I planned to take this secret to the tomb and never tell any soul, but now you misunderstood me with Susu on that…..In such case, I have no choice but to tell you!

…”

Instantly, a chill appeared up Nanxi’s spine; a terrible hunch slowly crawled all over her brain.

Just when she thought of interrupting, Lan Qiqi had already pounded her chest and stomped her feet, sighing:

“Actually Nanxi, I’m deeply in love with you!

If it weren’t for the pathetic figure of Li Wei always being around you, I would’ve already seize my love and taken advantage!”

“Pfft…” Beside them, Yang Su’s throat choked with spice, and she began to laugh while clutching her stomach!

Nanxi: “…

Lanlan, I was wrong %>_<% …

”

In the afternoon, Nanxi went to the small supermarket on campus to buy a bunch of snacks to appease Yang Su and Lan Qiqi as an atonement for slighting them at the Canteen!

When she came back, she bumped right into Han Baobao at the dormitory entrance!

Seeing Nanxi, Han Baobao was excited, “Nanxi, I told you we’re destined!

I was just thinking about you and you appeared right before me!”

Nanxi …

Laughed it off, and asked her, “Just came back?”

Han Baobao nodded, “Yes, I went home in the morning.

Originally I intended to stay there for a couple of days, but my brother insisted that I come back to focus on my thesis!”

Nanxi looked at the petulant expression oozing out of Han Baobao, sighed, “Your brother is also for your own good, don’t be mad at him!”

Han Baobao agreed, “Don’t worry.

I was pretty mad initially, but not anymore …

By the way Nanxi, my brother’s birthday is in a few days.

There will be a party, and I want to bring a friend along.

My brother agreed …

and I thought of you!”

Nanxi frowned, “…

Do you mean that you want me to attend your brother’s birthday party?”

Han Baobao glanced at her earnestly, “Yes, my brother has always been strict about the friends I make.

He never allowed me to bring friends to his birthday parties …which is mostly due to some less pleasant friends that I used to have which annoyed him …

But I hope my brother knows that I have changed.

I have also made fine friends…

”

A wisp of melancholy flashed in Han Baobao’s eyes when she said, “You know, neither Yang Su nor Lan Qiqi likes me, so they wouldn’t accompany me.

The only one I can think of now is you…Nanxi, please don’t turn me down.

Or else, my brother will think that I’m immature all my life, and whether he will let me go abroad in the future could become a problem…Nanxi, could you do me a favor, I beg you!”

Nanxi felt conflicted, but seeing Han Baobao, she didn’t have the heart to refuse her, so she nodded, “Well …okay!

But Baobao, actually, Lanlan and Susu are not …

they’re pretty good people…”

“I know!” Han Baobao anxiously knitted her brows, “But as you’ve seen over the past two or three years, I’m simply not in the same crowd as them.

It’s not only my fault!”

Without any alternative, Nanxi thought to herself, just keep them in the dark then!

But this feeling is really unsettling.

She suddenly felt a bit like she was betraying the two of them!

At eight in the evening, carrying a pile of books, Nanxi returned to the dormitory from the library.

Seeing this, Lan Qiqi was surprised, “You came back so early today?

Anything going on?”
