A mountain villa.
Several figures gathered under a pavilion. They were Fatty, An Kexin, and Su Qing.
Today, An Kexin was wearing a cream-colored down jacket, earmuffs that looked like headphones, and light makeup. She looked sweet and lovely, and her quiet presence was captivating.
A graceful and elegant lady.
Su Qing was wearing a long black down jacket, her hair casually tied into a ponytail. She looked like an ordinary girl, but her beauty was undeniable.
Simple beauty.
She doesn't care much about her image anymore.
"You are... Su Qing?"
An Kexin opened her mouth slightly, looking at her with some surprise.
Su Qing smiled calmly: "Long time no see, An."
An Kexin also revealed a serene smile: "Yes, it has indeed been a long time."
She paused for a moment, then asked, "You and he both got into Nanjing University?"
Su Qing nodded: "Yes."
The fat man suddenly interjected, "By the way, Miss An, didn't you say you were also going to apply to Nanjing University? Why did you change your mind later?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qing looked at her curiously.
She was also puzzled by this.
She had met this girl in high school. She couldn't help it; the girl was beautiful and academically excellent. She was quite curious about such an outstanding peer.
Most importantly, when she was on good terms with Lin Xun, she saw him interact with An Kexin several times.
She could tell that An Kexin's attitude towards Lin Xun was different from her attitude towards other boys.
At that time, she already regarded him as a rival in love.
However, she stopped thinking about it later, since she was already in a precarious situation herself.
But now that I think about it, with An Kexin's grades, she could have applied to Nanjing University, and Lin Xun was still there, yet she changed her mind and went far away.
This is what puzzled her the most.
A strange look flashed across An Kexin's eyes, and she said softly, "There are other reasons for this, which I can't explain."
In just one sentence, the group realized what An Kexin must have gone through, and they all felt a mix of emotions.
Well, every family has its own problems.
An Kexin looked at Su Qing and smiled, "You've changed a lot compared to before."
She could tell that Su Qing was a completely different person compared to her high school days. Now, she exuded a calmness, confidence, and peace.
Su Qing smiled slightly: "People always have to learn to change themselves."
The two women looked at each other and smiled, as if they had said something, or as if they hadn't said anything at all.
The fat man looked at this pleasing scene, but felt very depressed.
"Women are really strange."
An Kexin suddenly looked at the fat man and laughed, "Li Erpang, you seem to have changed, but you also seem to have not changed."
Li Erpang's eyes lit up and he said, "Don't you think I'm more handsome and mature than before?"
An Kexin choked.
Su Qing laughed.
After a moment of silence, An Kexin smiled and said, "She is indeed more mature than before, but she is still so fat, just like her name suggests, and she is still so shameless."
Li Erpang's lips twitched: "Well said, don't say it again next time."
"By the way, is Senior Su here this time too?" Su Qing suddenly asked.
The fat man nodded: "Yes, they just happened to be in Liangcheng, so we arranged to meet up together."
Su Qing nodded.
An Kexin's eyes flickered, and she said softly, "Is that Senior Su Lin Xun's girlfriend?"
Li Erpang nodded: "Yes, the boss has been dating her for two years."
Two years…
Does that mean Lin Xun was already dating someone when he was a freshman?
For some reason, a bitter feeling welled up in An Kexin's heart.
It seems she missed something.
If I had chosen Nanjing University back then, would the outcome have been different?
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
Moreover, even if she gets into Nanjing University, Lin Xun most likely won't choose her, because he has always only considered her a friend.
"You also had feelings for Lin Xun, didn't you?"
Su Qing suddenly spoke.
Her words immediately shocked the two of them.
Li Erpang's gaze was somewhat strange. Was this... playing their cards openly?
An Kexin was startled, and then her face turned bright red in an instant.
"I...no, don't talk nonsense."
His tone was somewhat flustered.
Su Qing smiled faintly and said, "Don't be so nervous. This is quite normal. After all, whether it was back then or now, that guy's charm is still very strong."
An Kexin pursed her lips and remained silent.
Su Qing sighed: "I used to like him too."
Upon hearing this, both the fat man and An Kexin looked at her at the same time.
Su Qing shrugged: "It's nothing to be ashamed of. He's outstanding, became very rich, and is good-looking. No girl would refuse a guy like that."
"And then what happened to you..." An Kexin hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
Su Qing knew what she wanted to say, and smiled faintly: "Later, later I met his girlfriend."
She paused, her gaze complicated, and asked, "Do you know what kind of person she is?"
An Kexin asked curiously, "What?"
"I know that, I..."
The fat man was about to speak, somewhat excited.
"Shut up! Men aren't allowed to interrupt when girls are talking!"
Su Qing glared at him.
Li Erpang shrank his neck and gave an awkward smile.
An Kexin looked at Su Qing without saying a word.
Su Qing smiled and said, "Lin Xun's girlfriend, oh no, his fiancée, is an outstanding person. She is so outstanding that people are intimidated and dare not look directly at her dazzling light. She is a talented woman in our school. Actually, I didn't think much of her at first, until I walked the same path as her and realized what it takes to achieve those honors. So, even I have to admire her."
"Moreover, she is not only outstanding, but also very beautiful. She is at least the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."
An Kexin was somewhat surprised: "Is it really that exaggerated?"
Su Qing smiled faintly: "What can't happen in this world? You'll find out when they get here."
Upon hearing this, An Kexin became genuinely curious about the girl.
She wanted to see what kind of girl Lin Xun had chosen as his partner.
Su Qing patted her shoulder and said in a senior's tone, "I still advise you not to make yourself too miserable. Some things, once missed, are best left unsaid."
An Kexin's feelings suddenly became complicated.
Deep down, there was still a sliver of hope.
Just then, a car slowly drove up and stopped in front of the pavilion.
The car door opened, and Lin Xun got out of the car.
An Kexin's gaze immediately fell on him.
Indeed, he looks even more handsome now.
At that moment, a girl stepped out of the car from the other side. She was dressed in many layers, so her face was obscured, but her eyes were very beautiful.
When Su Qingshi got out of the car, her gaze fell on the group of people, and finally stopped on An Kexin.
The two women locked eyes.
