Chapter 66: The last one to be concluded is, you have to compensate me...
Luo Shu spent the entire afternoon still unable to accept the fact that Xu Qianshu had become Shen Qianshu.
"I heard Jiang Xun mention that he transferred schools because he was taken to live with his biological father and changed his last name. It's quite normal," Tong Menglin's voice drifted over the speaker. "By the way, weren't you deskmates? Have you ever been in touch?"
Luo Shu sat on the balcony hanging chair, applying a facial mask. "He did when I first transferred to this school, but then he seemed to change his number and we suddenly lost contact."
"It's just right, you can rekindle your old relationship." Tong Menglin shouted excitedly on the other end.
Luo Shu adjusted the edge of the mask on her face. "What do you mean by rekindling our past relationship? He's my client now."
"That was also a former client," Tong Menglin coaxed. "You're single, and he broke off the engagement. More importantly, I remember there were rumors in class back when we were in school that he had a crush on you."
"It's just a rumor, pure and simple," Luo Shu clarified online. "He and I had a pure revolutionary friendship. I still don't understand why everyone is making such a fuss."
"Now that you've reminded me of this, I remember everything. Was it that time in the English speaking class where you two played the role of a couple?"
"They're not a couple," Luo Shu complained. "It's just one line of dialogue, and you're even better at making up rumors than the paparazzi."
Tong Menglin said, "Maybe it's the revolutionary friendship between the last and second-to-last people."
"Can we still have a pleasant chat?"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about him." Tong Menglin admitted defeat. "By the way, how long does this job transfer last? I think you should just quit. It's year-round and the salary is average. You can't go back to Ningcheng. I can support you."
"Let's talk about it later."
"Do you want to be transferred back to your island?" Tong Menglin was completely confused when she heard this. Her exchange career had finally ended, and she thought Luo Shu should come back at least. But she was staying abroad and working as a miserable wedding banquet designer, and she had been looking at the moon in a foreign country for five years.
"Luo Binxun, let me tell you, I can really afford to support you. The rich and beautiful scenery of our motherland is no less pleasing to the eyes than that broken island. I have decided that I will hold my wedding on Weizhou Island in the future. I won't worship foreigners."
Luo Shu couldn't help but hear the prompting: "Then should I talk to Jiang Xun and quickly prepare to propose?"
"Oh, don't interrupt." Tong Menglin said earnestly, "Even if you don't consider me, you have to consider uncle and aunt."
"They are living a comfortable life together."
"..." Tong Menglin was stuck for a moment, "Then you have to think about yourself."
"Yes." Luo Shu evaded, "Work hard, make money and have fun."
"For fun." Tong Menglin found a loophole. "Then why haven't you wanted to fall in love all these years?"
The alarm clock rang again and again, and Luo Shu slowly peeled off the mask: "I'm not unwilling, I just haven't found the right one."
Without giving the other party a chance to refute, he quickly hung up the phone on the pretext of washing his face.
It was late at night and the place was quiet. Indescribable emotions flowed silently. Luo Shu felt that the air around her was severely blocked by memories. The sky was full of stars, and tomorrow might be another good day.
The next morning, as expected, the weather was sunny and windy. On the way to work, Luo Shu's left eyelid kept twitching. She rubbed it all the way into the company and was surprised to find that the usually quiet design department was now as noisy as a vegetable market.
While she was wondering, Shen Qianshu, who was busy dealing with relationships everywhere, finally saw her: "Why are you still standing there? Sit down."
This confusing behavior made her feel like an outsider. No, this was clearly her territory. Luo Shu took two steps forward: "What are you doing here?
After saying this, Shen Qianshu nodded towards her workstation and said, "I'll bring you a loving breakfast."
As a result, the crowd in the entire design department exploded like popcorn.
Following the direction pointed, Luo Shu saw the famous Four King Kong set meal. "I'll give you one more chance to organize your words. Speak properly."
Shen Qianshu still understood the principle of judging the situation and smiled bitterly: "I came to deliver the balance."
"Really, I've received it." Zhai Xiaowen added promptly and then asked gossipy questions. She usually didn't call him Mr. Shen, "Are you really classmates with our Sister Shu?"
"Yeah, we were desk mates." Shen Qianshu said proudly, "Her grades were not good, and I used to help her with her homework and tutor her."
"?" Luo Shu was stunned and speechless. If she hadn't been in the company and hadn't had the gossip-mongering Zhai Xiaowen by her side, she would have definitely put up a barrier and written a sign saying "Chen Qianshu is not allowed to enter."
"Come with me." Glancing at Shen Qianshu, Luo Shu took him to the tea room.
"Xu Qianshu, no, Shen Qianshu, is there something wrong with you?"
"What's wrong? Why are you saying that to me?" Shen Qianshu leaned against the refrigerator door with his arms crossed. "I came here out of kindness to give you warmth."
Luo Shu was very annoyed: "Sending warmth? Then why are you distorting the facts?"
"Your grades are not good, otherwise you could study painting as a specialty."
"Then why do you have to step on me to praise yourself? Why can we be desk mates? Don't you know?" Luo Shu felt even more indignant. It was the truth. He who was ranked last was actually right.
Shen Qianshu said as a matter of course: "When I transferred to another school, you inherited my last place."
"It's been a long time. Are you childish?" He said with a face, but Luo Shu was too embarrassed to listen. "Besides, I was just a little bit biased in one subject at that time. After entering high school, I worked hard to improve myself."
"Oh, so amazing." Shen Qianshu subconsciously raised his arm to touch her head, but Luo Shu happened to turn around.
After missing the target, he retracted his action and stared at Luo Shu who was fiddling with the leaves of the green plants. "Do you blame me?"
"Of course it's weird." Luo Shu blurted out. Although she didn't know how to describe her mood at that time, she knew that it was a kind of mutual understanding between the second to last one.
"Transferring to another school without even saying hello is not fair."
The corners of Shen Qianshu's narrow eyes turned upwards: "Is it too late to make amends and repair it now?"
"Don't make trouble."
"I'm serious." Shen Qianshu raised three fingers to show his sincerity, "If it's difficult, I can pledge my love to you."
"This joke is not funny at all." Luo Shu ordered them to leave. "You have already paid the balance, so hurry up and return to the palace so as not to delay you from your busy schedule."
"No, I'm free today, so I came here to accompany you to work."
"Accompany me to work?" Luo Shu frowned. "What's the point of you staying here with me?"
Shen Qianshu lied with his eyes open: "Luo Shu, let me analyze the current situation for you. Now everyone in Shenzhen is laughing at me for being cheated on, and you are to blame for this situation."
Luo Shu was being blamed for this, and there was no way to avoid it. "Am I to blame? Why don't you say it's global warming?"
"That's an indirect cause." Shen Qianshu said aggrievedly, "If you still had a conscience that day and reminded me a few words, maybe I wouldn't be stabbed in the back and put on the blind date blacklist now."
Playing innocent at this moment, Luo Shu felt baffled: "So, what exactly do you want to say after laying so much groundwork? To condemn me?"
"To sum it up, you have to compensate me with a wife."
The air seemed to be still, and Luo Shu's expression remained the same.
After a moment, Shen Qianshu heard her say.
"When you were in school, you always loved to tease me. You either took my eraser on purpose or called me names because I was short. You're here again now. You don't want to leave, right? Then I'll leave."
After saying that, she really left him and walked away.
A huge feeling of helplessness filled his whole body. Shen Qianshu scratched his hair. He was not teasing him.
Luo Shu returned to her workstation, tidied up briefly, and then went out to meet a client. A modified sports car was parked on the side of the road, and when it saw her approaching, it automatically lowered the window.
"Where are you going? I'll take you there." Shen Qianshu poked his head out from the driver's seat.
Luo Shu was still fuming over the joke she had just made, and said firmly, "I wouldn't dare, lest you blackmail me again."
"It's free." Shen Qianshu emphasized with a smile, "I wouldn't dare to act rashly when giving an old classmate a ride."
"Never mind. It's not on the way."
Shen Qianshu unlocked the car, leaned over and pushed open the passenger door: "Downtown, just tell me if it's convenient for you."
The agreed location was a well-known coffee shop, and today's client specifically asked Luo Shu to meet and talk.
Shen Qianshu started the car and plunged into the traffic in the city center like a roaring beast out of its cage.
As they were about to reach the intersection of their destination, Shen Qianshu asked, "You designers not only have to design but also have to talk to clients in person. Isn't that tiring?"
"I'm used to it." Luo Shu glanced at the red dot on the map getting closer and closer, and seemed to be talking to herself, "It will get better when you're tired."
At this moment, a car on the front right suddenly changed lanes and forced a U-turn. The driver was extremely arrogant. Not only did he not turn on the lights, he also ignored the double yellow line in the middle.
Shen Qianshu stepped on the brakes in time, not caring about other things, and immediately cared about Luo Shu in the passenger seat: "Are you okay?"
Luo Shu let the seat belt bounce back due to inertia. She felt a little dizzy, but she endured the discomfort and said, "It's okay."
After making sure Luo Shu was fine, Shen Qianshu's anger grew. He was about to ask for an explanation, but unexpectedly, the car driver got angry first and started to make trouble by rolling down the window and gesticulating at Shen Qianshu. While cursing, he did not forget to turn the steering wheel and continue to drive forward and turn around.
No one noticed that a completely black car was driving at a steady speed from the other end.
It happened almost at the same second. The front of the sedan hit the black SUV that was driving normally. Looking closely at the car logo, it was a Cullinan BB version.
It is definitely a satisfying scene.
Shen Qianshu deliberately lowered the car window and breathed in a breath of fresh air: "God will take its course, and no one will be spared."
Luo Shu remained silent. The double R logo, the flying goddess logo, her beloved Black Badge, and the consecutive license plates starting with deep A made her hold her breath unconsciously.
The Cullinan owner slowly rolled down the window, revealing half of his face, which showed neither sadness nor joy.
He did not choose to look at the dent, but instead looked straight at Luo Shu behind the opposite windshield.
The moment their eyes met, Luo Shu tightly grasped the seat belt against her left chest.
It was Fang Qingzhuo again.
In the gap of slowed time, it was the car driver who came to apologize that interrupted the long gaze, but he ignored him and instead raised his eyes to glance at Shen Qianshu in the driver's seat.
Just this one glance made Fang Qingzhuo, who had not frowned before, frown deeply, and the car driver became even more frightened.
Witnessing with his own eyes the car driver standing in front of the car door like a grandson, groveling and servile, Shen Qianshu vented his anger fiercely, feeling relieved and having seen enough of the excitement, he drove around the scene of the accident and left in style.
The two cars passed each other with a car blocking the way in the middle. Luo Shu did not move, but vaguely caught the special attention from the corner of her eye.
In the bright coffee shop, after Shen Qianshu looked at his watch countless times.
"What's wrong with your client? He's not punctual at all."
Luo Shu didn't care and continued to look through the menu: "I asked you to go first."
Shen Qianshu held his chin: "No, there are too many people with no quality, I have to stay and protect you."
"casual."
As soon as he finished speaking, a low voice slowly fell from above his head.
"Sorry I'm late."
