Chapter 8 First Encounter



"Hahaha! That's fucking awesome!"

"Brother Xun, I never expected you to be so well-hidden. Even I was fooled!"

Lin Xun and Li Erpang were eating skewers at a roadside stall.

Li Erpang looked Lin Xun up and down with a sigh: "Tsk tsk, you don't look like a rich second-generation at all!"

"Get out! How dare you talk like that?" Lin Xun's lips twitched. "Do you think I wanted this? My parents kept it from me for eighteen years! Do you know how I've lived these past eighteen years?"

He felt like crying, after all, he had lived a frugal life all these years, and in the end, his family was not short of money at all...

“Brother Xun, the Forest Royal Court is no ordinary place! Now that it’s yours, your parents might have other businesses too!” Li Erpang said with a wink.

Lin Xun remained calm and said, "I know, but these belong to my parents, not me."

He is still very young, his university life has not yet begun, and the revolution has not yet succeeded!

"Hey, Su Qing must be regretting it to death now, right? She gave up on you, this big tree, to choose Qin Hao, that toothpick. Tsk tsk, let me tell you, Brother Xun, you'd better watch out in the future. According to the plot, that woman will definitely come back to find you." Li Erpang sneered.

Lin Xun pulled the tab on the beer can, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "I have nothing to do with her anymore. From now on, we're just strangers."

How could I possibly forget someone I've spent so much time with?

Su Qing was once his ideal woman.

"Hey! How can you talk about women while drinking! Come on, bottoms up!" Li Erpang shouted. "Brother Xun, you're the kind of guy who's aiming for Nanjing University. Someone like me is probably only fit to work in a factory!"

Lin Xun smiled and clinked glasses with him: "We're both still young. Let's give it our all and see what the future holds."

The two drank one glass after another, and soon after downing several cans of beer, they were both tipsy.

"I'll go take care of it."

Lin Xun shook his aching head, got up and walked away.

Next to the roadside stalls is a bridge, and below it flows the famous Lianghe River of Liangcheng, with its waters flowing endlessly.

Lin Xun swayed and staggered onto the bridge. A gentle breeze blew by, clearing his mind and sobering him up a bit.

He placed his hands on the armrests and stared blankly into the distance.

Sometimes, he would ponder the meaning of life. In this life, whatever one experiences is inevitable. There is no right or wrong, no need to believe or deny. What is meant to be experienced will be experienced, and there is no escaping it.

While we're alive, we should try our best to be happy and joyful, and let our parents who raised us live a peaceful and happy life. We shouldn't leave too many things behind for ourselves. After all, life is not easy. After experiencing some things, we understand even more that life is unpredictable and things are hard to predict. Worrying too much about some things is useless. What is going to happen will happen. Just face it calmly.

"The river water is very cold at night. If a person jumps in, even if they don't drown, they will freeze to death."

While Lin Xun was in a daze, a clear, cold voice rang in his ears.

Lin Xun was stunned, then he turned his head and was immediately dumbfounded.

Beside him, a girl stood—no, in Lin Xun's eyes, she was like a fairy descended from heaven.

She possessed a beauty that inspired awe and reverence, making her appear exceptionally ethereal and captivating. Her skin was as white as snow, and beneath her delicate, spring-mountain-like eyebrows were a pair of eyes that shone with extraordinary brilliance. Her sculpted, straight nose and beautifully curved, tender cherry lips made one want to take a bite. Her pointed yet rounded chin added infinite allure to her cold and aloof beauty that made one dare not look directly at her.

How to describe her? Lin Xun summed it up in two words using all his knowledge: fairy!

The fairy's black hair danced in the wind, and her snow-white dress made her devilish figure appear and disappear in the evening breeze.

That figure... does such a figure really exist in reality?

What are you spacing out for?

The fairy stared directly at Lin Xun, her cool and calm gaze carrying a hint of doubt.

"You...are beautiful," Lin Xun said, stunned.

Su Qingshi was taken aback, then found it somewhat amusing, and a corner of her red lips lifted up.

Ouch! My heart is pounding!

Lin Xun was completely stunned; it was so beautiful!

He already knew Su Qing was very beautiful, but he never expected to meet such a gorgeous young lady today!

"Excuse me, are you a college student?"

Su Qingshi felt she needed to find out more. She had come here to relax, and when she saw the boy standing blankly by the bridge with a bewildered look in his eyes, she thought he was going to jump into the river and commit suicide.

Lin Xun exclaimed "Ah!" and then quickly shook his head: "No...no, I just finished the college entrance exam and haven't gone to university yet."

For some reason, he felt a little nervous.

Su Qingshi raised her pretty eyebrows.

Turns out he was a junior from elementary school.

Did you fail your college entrance exam? Are you contemplating jumping into the river?

"ah???"

Lin Xun looked completely bewildered, a big question mark appearing on his face. He then scratched his head and said, "Miss, you've misunderstood. I was just enjoying the breeze here; I didn't mean to jump into the river."

Su Qingshi was taken aback, then realized that she had misunderstood, and awkwardly raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.

Lin Xun's breath hitched. A fairy is a fairy; even the slightest movement from her could make his heart flutter.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood." Su Qingshi nodded and was about to walk past Lin Xun to leave.

Seeing this, Lin Xun felt a little empty. Had such a beautiful encounter just passed by like this?

Perhaps emboldened by the alcohol, Lin Xun suddenly called out to Su Qingshi, "Wait."

Su Qingshi stopped and turned to look at him: "Is there something you need?"

Lin Xun looked a little embarrassed, but still mustered up her courage and asked, "Excuse me, are you a college student?"

Su Qingshi nodded: "Yes."

"Which university are you in?" Lin Xun's expression shifted.

Su Qingshi glanced at him. Although the boy wasn't as handsome as a celebrity, he was still very good-looking, the kind of person whose personality could be discerned from his appearance.

Seemingly in a good mood today, Su Qingshi, who usually dislikes idle chatter, suddenly felt like speaking up, so she said, "Nanjing University."

Lin Xun exclaimed with delight, "What a coincidence! My target university is also Nanjing University!"

Su Qingshi was taken aback. Was he really that confident? Was he just fooling her?

She had thought the other person wanted to jump off a building because they failed the college entrance exam, but now it seems they still want to go to Nanjing University, so their academic performance must be pretty good.

"Then you'll have to work hard, Nanjing University isn't easy to get into," Su Qingshi replied.

Lin Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry, senior, I'm confident in my abilities."

Su Qingshi nodded gently: "I have something to do, I'll be going now, goodbye."

Goodbye, senior!

Lin Xun waved his hand.

Staring at that graceful and beautiful back view, Lin Xun was lost in thought.

That's it, he's fallen for her.
