After three rounds of drinks, Xu Nanzhi went to the bathroom.
On the way back, I happened to pass by a private room.
The door was just opened, and I looked over casually, and happened to see an acquaintance.
Su Yanqing was seen sitting in the main seat, with several people gathered around him, taking turns toasting him in a fawning manner. He sat there with a normal expression.
With the attitude of a superior, he nodded distantly, and his every move was full of calmness and composure.
Looking at this scene, Xu Nanzhi thought of Yan Qing during his student days.
At that time, he had not yet been recognized by the Su family. He would run to her happily and tell her that he had taken on a new project today, helping a big boss to fight a lawsuit, and would tell her how generous the bonus would be if it succeeded.
He could take her to a restaurant she had always wanted to go to but hadn't been to because he was short of money.
At that time, Yan Qing also had a sense of pride and self-esteem, but he also had a tenacious spirit of not giving up.
He knew clearly that he was poor, but he also firmly believed that knowledge could change his destiny.
Therefore, while sticking to his bottom line, he will bow down for a few pieces of silver.
I still remember that it was around this time that Xu Nanzhi went out to eat with his family.
She went to the restroom halfway through her meal, and it was at this moment when the door of the private room was opened that she saw the handsome young man she admired.
Holding the wine glass, he stood up and toasted the middle-aged man in front of him.
At that moment, he was no longer the bright moon hanging high in the sky in the school. He needed a livelihood, he needed everything.
All this is enough to make a young man among lush forests and bamboos bend down.
She watched secretly for a long time that day, but pretended to know nothing.
Especially that night, when Yan Qing came to the downstairs of her dormitory and handed her a necklace, Xu Nanzhi's eyes were red.
When the boy told her in the most indifferent tone that he had taken on a new project today, she thought of the scene of Yan Qing bending over during the day.
At that time, she thought, this is him. If someone can treat you like this, she will be satisfied.
In her opinion, Su Yanqing was like a bamboo bent by the wind and snow. When the haze cleared, his upright posture would still amaze everyone.
The door of the box was closed, but Xu Nanzhi did not return to the box she had just been in. Instead, she stayed alone for a long time.
Su Yanqing is indeed graceful and proud now, but everything has changed.
After all, they were in love once, and she was happy for him now that he was like this, but that was all.
Her thoughts were a little confused. She was aware of her current emotions, but she also knew that some things from her student days were really nostalgic.
After so many years, things and people have changed.
Thinking about those people who had just toasted Su Yanqing, there were many young men like him back then, who were following the path he had walked.
I wonder what he will feel after seeing this.
"Why, are you so sentimental seeing your old lover is no longer the same as he used to be?"
A voice that seemed to contain some ridicule came to his ears, and Xu Nanzhi looked up.
In an instant, all the emotions just now disappeared.
Jiang Huaibei stood behind her and looked at her scrutinizingly, like a headmaster who had caught a young couple in a premature love affair.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Nanzhi looked at him unhappily and asked, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Huaibei chuckled: "Why can't I be here?"
"Or are you angry because I caught you secretly looking at your old lover?"
Xu Nanzhi felt that these words were particularly harsh, but she didn't think it was necessary to explain anything to an outsider: "What's it got to do with you?"
"Go and do your thing."
These words were said in a bad mood, and the anger was obvious.
Xu Nanzhi thought that since she said so, Jiang Huaibei, such a proud man, would be unhappy about it, so she left.
But who could laugh at this guy who actually looked nonchalant: "Looks like he's really pissed off."
"Is it really that I can't help myself when I see my old lover? Oh, what should I do?"
"Why don't you go find him? From what I've observed, Young Master Su should also be unforgettable about you."
He tutted his words and said, "But I still have to remind you, no matter how much you miss the old love, it can't stop me from having someone new to accompany me now."
"When you caught up just now, the girl called Xu Shiqing was always by Su Yanqing's side."
Xu Nanzhi glared at Jiang Huaibei. She hadn't noticed Xu Shiqing sitting next to Su Yanqing just now. She didn't expect Jiang Huaibei to have such sharp eyes.
"I'll say it again, he's just my ex-boyfriend. If you want to keep calling him your ex-lover and forget the old love, just try it."
"Also, I'm not being sentimental."
Then he looked at Jiang Huaibei and said with gritted teeth, "I'm saying you've been so nosy lately."
"Isn't it good to just be your cool and handsome idol?"
After thinking about it, he said with some disgust: "Also, stop gossiping."
Today, Xu Nanzhi spoke like a little pepper, which made Jiang Huaibei raise his eyebrows.
He stared at her leaving back and chuckled a few times.
I was really annoyed, which was unexpected.
Just when he came out, he happened to see the little girl walking alone, slowly and leisurely. He was about to go up and say hello, but unexpectedly he saw her stop.
Following the line of sight, I saw Su Yanqing toasting with someone.
I was thinking it was just a social event, what was so interesting about it, but when I saw Xu Nanzhi's expression, I could see a look of nostalgia and loneliness in everyone's eyes.
He cursed inwardly for his poor vision, but still stepped forward, intending to give him some advice.
After all, she is Wen Ting's sister in name only. Don't think too much about it.
Who knew that he was just stating the facts and was scolded by this girl? It was fortunate that he was in a good mood today, otherwise he would have been scolded by this girl and cried no matter what he said.
After watching Xu Nanzhi enter the box, Jiang Huaibei withdrew his gaze.
I picked up my phone and sent a message to Wen Ting: "Are you in Wangyazhai?"
Wen Ting replied quickly: "Yes, you are here too?"
It was just as I expected. I guessed that it was Wen Ting who brought her here.
"Nothing, I just saw your sister and asked."
At this time, Xu Nanzhi pushed the door open and walked in. After sitting down, Wen Ting asked, "Why did you go out for so long?"
"I made a phone call."
Xu Nanzhi replied perfunctorily.
Wen Ting continued to ask in a low voice: "Did you meet Huaibei?"
Xu Nanzhi became a little wary after hearing this: "Well, if we meet, what will he say?"
He shook his head. "I didn't say anything. I just saw you and asked if I was there too."
Hearing that this was no nonsense, Xu Nanzhi nodded: "Yeah, just said hello."
