Yu Nian was in a bad mood because she was forced to work overtime. She first went to a coffee shop and ordered a cup of coffee to wake herself up.
Without thinking twice, they started taking a walk along the birch-lined street near the cafe.
As night approached, the sky grew darker. The soft lights outside the small shops along the street reflected the remaining glimmer of the setting sun, adding a touch of life to the otherwise quiet Birch Street and creating a somewhat picturesque atmosphere.
The rich aroma of coffee filled her nostrils, instantly waking her up considerably.
She had just notified Baijiu and Luosheng's assistant, Fang Hao, to search for the person in several familiar places, but an hour had passed and there was still no news.
She had just contacted the owner of the tavern from last time, and Luo Sheng was indeed not there. Nanyang is only so big, and she had searched everywhere she could. She didn't know where else to look.
Yu Nian dialed Luo Sheng's number again, but still no one answered.
If she's not mistaken, Luo Sheng's disappearance this time is most likely related to what happened with Aunt Luo back then.
She had heard a little about their breakup from her parents, but she didn't know the specifics.
So she simply dialed Luo's mother's number to ask what had happened.
Yu Nian: "Hey, Aunt Luo, has Brother Luo Sheng gone home yet?"
Luo's mother: "No, Niannian, don't worry about him. He just came back yesterday at noon and went crazy, then went out again. Don't worry about him, he's a grown man, he won't get lost anywhere."
Aunt Luo's seemingly indifferent attitude made Yu Nian's eyebrows twitch.
That makes sense, so why is she still looking for some ghost here?
Yu Nian: "Auntie, you're right. But can I know what's wrong with Luo Sheng? I can't get through to him on the phone, and he hasn't replied to my WeChat messages. Brother Lu needs to talk to him about something and needs him to reply to the messages."
Luo's mother: "What could have happened? It's just that the girl came back and told him about what happened back then. It's true that your Uncle Luo and I used some tricks to break up with Baijiu back then, but we didn't expect that the boy would take the money so readily, so he came back and questioned me. It was bound to end badly."
Hearing this, Yu Nian frowned. Although she did know that Bai Jiu had taken five million and then broken up with Luo Sheng, there was one question that had been bothering her for a long time.
Back in college, Baijiu wasn't a well-known rich second-generation and couldn't compare to the Luo family. But when Luo Sheng's friends told them that Baijiu's family seemed to be quite well-off, and that she posted a lot of high-end brands on Weibo and Instagram, people wondered if she was someone's daughter.
"Could there be some misunderstanding? Did Baijiu have a reason for doing that?"
Mrs. Luo sighed, "To be honest, we were careless. We really didn't know. Your uncle and I were angry at the time, so we used this inappropriate method to try and find out about the child. Who knew it would be so straightforward? But we were wrong in this matter. We were too selfish and didn't consider the feelings of the two children."
Yu Nian: "Let bygones be bygones. Some things are better left unsaid. Wait, Auntie, I think I saw Luo Sheng. I'll call you later."
In an instant, a look of surprise appeared on her face. Just as Yu Nian was on the phone, a familiar figure walked past her. In the dim night, the person's back looked somewhat lonely, but Yu Nian recognized him at a glance as Luo Sheng.
Heaven is on my side! She actually ran into me. What a coincidence!
She instinctively ran over, but just as she was about to catch up with the person in front of her, she stopped.
He's probably still upset about Baijiu and Aunt Luo. It wouldn't be good for me to step in right now. The one who tied the knot must untie it. As an outsider, she obviously has no say in these matters. Oh well, let Baijiu handle it.
She got herself into this mess, so she has to deal with it herself.
Niannian Doesn't Eat Fish Head: "Come to Birch Street quickly, he's here. Take this opportunity to explain things to him about what happened back then. Also, have him send a letter back to Brother Lu."
Little White Flower: "Thanks."
After sending the message, Yu Nian stared at Luo Sheng, who was standing in front of the music store, and only left after confirming that he wouldn't be far away anytime soon.
After finishing all that, Yu Nian drove back to the studio. As she passed the front desk, her colleague Xiao Fang called out to her.
"Sister Niannian, your takeout is here!"
"Takeout? I didn't order takeout."
Seeing her standing there blankly without moving, her colleague Xiao Fang walked over to her carrying two bags.
"Here, this is takeout that Mr. Song specially delivered for you. He said you're so busy that you'll probably forget to eat again. Oh, and this bunch of poppies is so red and beautiful."
So that's how it is. He really does know how to be charming.
Yu Nian carried takeout in her right hand and flowers in her left, happily making her way to the lounge.
It was already eight o'clock when I got back from Birch Street. I was indeed a bit hungry after a busy day.
She opened the delivery box, and a delicious aroma wafted out, causing her stomach to rumble in disobedience.
It was her favorite wontons and noodles with soybean paste.
It's still warm; it must have just been delivered.
After having a full meal, Yu Nian resumed her busy nighttime routine.
At this music festival, she was invited by the organizers to cover several songs live, so she needs to quickly practice her voice and refine the melodies.
As for Luo Sheng, he saw Baijiu running towards him, panting, as soon as he stepped out of the music store.
Despite the cold weather, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Time seemed to rewind to the past, to the same scene. She ran towards him with a bright smile, her neat skirt fluttering in the wind. Her lively figure magnified infinitely in his eyes, clear and bright. This was the most beautiful image of her in his memory.
Baijiu breathed a sigh of relief after finally finding the person. "I've finally found you, Asheng."
In the past, he would have opened his arms and hugged the person in front of him tightly, but now, when he sees her smile, he feels awkward about her eyes.
Whether it was her in the past or her now, how much sincerity did she have in her relationship with him?
He didn't want to speculate on his own anymore, and at this moment he just wanted to be alone. He didn't want to pay much attention to the person who came, so he deliberately ignored her expectant gaze and brushed past her amidst her disappointed eyes.
Seeing Luo Sheng's reaction, Bai Jiu knew he was angry with her. He was no longer the simple and straightforward Luo Sheng he once was.
She suddenly regretted making that decision back then. For 5 million, she abandoned him. It seemed like she really made a mistake.
However, this idea didn't stay in her mind for long.
What is there to regret? She did nothing wrong. She simply chose the future over her feelings.
She could never give up her chance at wealth and status for the sake of love, even though Luo Sheng was already a good choice at the time.
If a better option were presented to her now, she would still turn around and leave without hesitation.
People are inherently selfish, aren't they?
