Jiangshi Middle School, Grade 11 (1), Key Class for Liberal Arts.
"Chen Baohua, someone's looking for you outside!" a male classmate shouted from the back door of the classroom.
Chen Baohua, who was engrossed in doing her exercises, looked up and said, "Okay, thank you!"
Who was looking for him? He was a little puzzled! Just yesterday, his older brother Lin Jinye had come to visit him at school.
When he went out into the corridor, he saw many classmates looking downstairs and heard various voices. He knew who was looking for him: Zhang Jianyu.
"Is Zhang Jianyu here to cause trouble for Chen Baohua again? Wasn't he just given a major demerit notice a few days ago?"
"Are you planning to retaliate by luring people to a secluded spot downstairs instead of coming up to the classroom to confront them?"
"Zhang Jianyu is too arrogant!"
"Keep your voice down, you son of the mayor, how dare you talk nonsense!"
Soon, Chen Baohua came down from the third floor and walked towards Zhang Jianyu.
He stopped two meters away from the two of them and asked in a calm tone, "Zhang, what do you want with me?"
Zhang Jianyu noticed Chen Baohua's wariness, and a bitter smile of disappointment appeared on his face, yet he seemed indifferent.
"Chen Baohua, you don't need to stand so far away."
I'm calling you today because I want to see you one last time before I leave.
Actually, I envy you. Your family, especially your sisters, have such a good relationship.
I can tell, Su Wanying really likes you. If you feel the same way, I hope you two can be together in the future.
"What do you mean?" Chen Baohua couldn't help but ask.
Although this person had caused him all sorts of trouble before, Zhang Jianyu gave him a different feeling at this moment.
It feels like liberation, yes, it's the ease of liberation.
"I've dropped out of school and will be leaving Jiang City tomorrow to go abroad. I may never come back!"
"I actually felt quite good when you beat me up back then!"
After Zhang Jianyu finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Chen Baohua's reaction.
His departing figure evoked a sense of loneliness and sorrow.
Zhang's father was taken away and may never get out. Zhang's mother was also implicated and received a heavy sentence.
Fortunately, Zhang Jianyu's maternal grandfather's family was able to arrange for him to go abroad, and he himself did not want to stay in China anymore.
Chen Baohua, who had already returned to the classroom, was in a somewhat low mood.
Many years later, he could still recall this incident, remembering that such a person had appeared in his life and that he had fought with him.
He, too, once walked with his hands in his pockets, in the prime of his youth!
......
It was the weekend again, and Chen Xihua had just come out of Peking University when she saw a person standing outside the school gate.
Standing upright in a formal suit, his resolute and imposing presence drew frequent glances from students entering and leaving Peking University.
They didn't realize they had lost their composure until they nearly hit a pedestrian.
"Wow, who is this guy? He's so handsome, mature, and charming. Is he waiting for a girlfriend?"
"This person looks familiar, isn't he from the Lu family?"
"Ah, it really is! Master Lu, I've finally met you in person!"
"......."
Completely unaffected by the surrounding chatter and exclamations, Lu Zhengjing paid no attention.
But when he saw Chen Xihua come out, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
He then strode up to her, and then, in a completely different tone, spoke with a pitiful expression.
"Xi Hua, I've come to pick you up from school, and you're still angry! I promise I'll never make you unhappy again!"
"So he really was waiting for a boyfriend. This female classmate looks familiar, isn't she Chen Xiaowu?"
"Yes, yes, the young master of the Huo family, the richest family in Beijing, came to see her."
"Didn't they say that Master Lu is not interested in women and has always been single?"
When Lu Zhengjing said this, it sounded just like a young couple having a tiff.
The man has angered the woman, and he is now trying his best to please her.
What? No, this person has amnesia, how did they turn into a white lotus? What's going on here?
Chen Xihua was inwardly agitated, but she tried her best to maintain a calm demeanor. If she showed anger and glared at the other person, she would look even more like a couple arguing.
“You…” Damn it, the words just slipped out. She wanted to curse him. You, Lu Zhengjing! You’re definitely trying to use your ‘amnesia’ to do whatever you want.
Little did he know that his actions at the gate of Peking University would, within an hour, spread like wildfire throughout the school about her dating.
As for Lu Qiye, a member of the Lu family in Beijing, his identity was known throughout the entire city within half a day.
Not wanting to be surrounded by onlookers, Chen Xihua quickly left the school gate.
Lu Zhengjing followed on the side, intentionally leading the person to his car.
"Get in the car first, I'll take you to eat."
After getting into the car, Chen Xihua looked at Lu Zhengjing with a half-smile, "You've regained your memory?"
Lu Zhengjing's knuckles twitched on the steering wheel, his eyes clear and serious: "Not yet! But your face is the most familiar! You always appear in my mind."
"Let's drive. Didn't we say we were going to eat?" Chen Xihua lowered her eyes and stopped looking at him.
She automatically ignored his flirtatious remarks and felt it necessary to have a proper talk with him.
"Okay!" Lu Zhengjing smiled slightly.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at a particularly rustic restaurant called Wei Xuan Yuan.
Wei Xuan Yuan is located in a courtyard house, with a quiet environment and antique-style home decoration.
The dishes here are both exquisite and home-style; exquisite in taste, home-style in ingredients.
Lu Zhengjing specially ordered a bowl of yam and egg soup for Chen Xihua, and carefully opened the lid for her, saying, "This soup is delicious, you should try it!"
From the moment they left the school, on the way there, until they sat down to eat, Chen Xihua didn't say much.
She was considering her next decision, and as she hesitated about how to begin, Lu Zhengjing seemed to sense her thoughts and spoke first: "Let's eat first, we'll talk about it later!"
He didn't want to say anything that might affect her appetite.
Well, Chen Xihua is indeed hungry. His lack of enthusiasm for eating suggests a problem with his thinking.
She picked up one of the first fried golden cakes that came out of the plate, took a small bite, and found it to be crispy on the outside, chewy and fragrant on the inside. It was really good.
At this moment, Chen Xihua was unaware of the sense of satisfaction she was unconsciously showing as she ate the delicious food.
Especially her eyes, slightly squinted, her delicate face, both enjoying and cute, unlike the aloofness she had shown before.
Lu Zhengjing was momentarily stunned by the sight, realizing that the girl opposite him was very perceptive. He immediately composed himself and dared not show too much.
Then, he continued to introduce the dishes as a cover-up.
Throughout the meal, he took care of her tastes.
Chen Xihua ate with great satisfaction, and before she knew it, she was nine-tenths full. She put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a tissue.
Lu Zhengjing, who was sitting opposite them, had also finished eating. He stopped what he was doing, and the two looked at each other.
His gaze was intense, while her eyes flickered slightly.
"Seventh Master Lu, it's been a month since you lost your memory. Even though you can't remember many things, you should have at least found out by now. Before, we really didn't..."
