Then I'll continue chasing you.
Su Bai came to attend Huo Lang's party today. Huo Lang has a wide circle of friends, and he can get to know more people through the party, and maybe he can use some of them in the business world.
He and Huo Lang finished the party and were walking towards the elevator. As they passed by, they saw the door of the box was wide open and people were arguing inside. This kind of thing was not uncommon in places where young men gathered.
He didn't take it seriously, but as he got closer, the sound became clearer and clearer, and he heard Shen Yanshu's voice.
Huo Lang stopped walking, about two meters away from the door, and asked, "Why did you stop?"
"Can you hear me clearly?" Su Bai asked without any context.
Huo Lang stopped to listen for a moment, then asked in surprise, "They?"
"who?"
"Jiang Heming and Shen Yanshu." Huo Lang looked at him. "Didn't you recognize Shen Yanshu's voice?"
Su Bai looked at Huo Lang and asked without answering, "Do you know him?"
"Of course I know him. He's Shen Yanshu's ex-boyfriend and the youngest son of the Jiang family." Huo Lang said, "I remember I told you that when he was in school, he was both good in character and academics. He was also well-known in our circle. He was admitted to the best university in the country. My dad always compared me with him at that time."
Su Bai recalled a conversation where Huo Lang had mentioned such a person. "I remember."
"Why are he and Shen Yanshu together? This shouldn't happen." Huo Lang said to himself.
"Why do you say that?"
"Oh. He and Shen Yanshu were in a relationship for two years. They were so sweet back then, I even thought they were going to get married, but they broke up. Shortly after the breakup, Shen Yanshu flew abroad for graduate studies, and the two of them were never seen together at parties." Huo Lang added, "I heard Shen Yanshu never dated again after the breakup, and would get mad at anyone who mentioned Jiang Heming at a party."
"I think she was deeply hurt by Jiang Heming."
Su Bai frowned, "She told you so herself."
Huo Lang reacted and waved his hands repeatedly, "It's all hearsay. How could I possibly know what happened between them? Some say they broke up amicably, while others say they couldn't stand the long-distance relationship. There are so many different versions."
As soon as Huo Lang finished speaking, he heard the quarrel inside becoming more and more intense, but he could only hear Shen Yanshu's scolding. It was the first time he saw Shen Yanshu so irritable. This Jiang Heming was something.
Su Bai couldn't stand it anymore. He strode towards the box and bumped into the angry Shen Yanshu.
A man followed behind and wanted to come up and grab Shen Yanshu. He put his arm around Shen Yanshu and held the man's outstretched hand.
The man wanted to break free from him, but Su Bai was now overwhelmed by unknown anger and did not pay attention to how much strength he used, so the man could not break free at all.
After a while, he let go only after Shen Yanshu spoke.
Looking at Shen Yanshu's red eyes, his heart was in turmoil and he was at a loss. Even though she was upset about another man, his first reaction was to comfort her.
He took Shen Yanshu away in public, but he knew clearly that he had no position and didn't know whether it was appropriate for him to do so.
Shen Yanshu was wondering how much Su Bai had heard and whether he had misunderstood. She walked beside Su Bai and couldn't tell his emotions.
"Su Bai." She tugged at Su Bai's suit sleeve.
Su Bai stopped and looked at her. Her voice was a little hoarse, and her hair was dyed black. Did she dye it back to attend the party and see Jiang Heming? Su Bai couldn't help but think about it.
"What's wrong?" In fact, Su Bai wanted to say, "Don't be sad." But he didn't say it.
He didn't understand why the person who said she wanted to pursue him a few days ago and sent him flowers in the morning appeared here.
The flower language of roses and gentian is love, so why are you still upset about your last relationship?
But when she looked at him with those eyes as lively as a little deer, he couldn't think of anything else but how to comfort her.
"How much did you hear just now?" Shen Yanshu asked cautiously. She wanted to know so that she could explain it to Su Bai.
Su Bai's gray eyes darkened for a moment, and he sighed and said, "All of them."
"Then you must have heard me say that I hate him." Shen Yanshu said.
Is hatred due to love? Su Bai wondered. But Shen Yanshu had left with him, so maybe that wasn't entirely the case. Huo Lang's words couldn't be fully trusted.
"Isn't it because I like you that I hate you?" Su Bai asked. He was so desperate to know the answer, so desperate that he didn't notice how contradictory the question was, and he just asked it out loud.
He was probably too clumsy in front of Shen Yanshu. He either didn't know how to speak or said the wrong thing. He had clearly passed the Chinese exam long ago, and clearly... But after meeting Shen Yanshu, all his speaking skills became pale and monotonous.
Shen Yanshu paused, "What did you hear, or did someone say anything to you?"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Huo Lang who was standing not far away, and then looked at Su Bai: "Huo Lang said something to you, right?"
Su Bai said: "He said that after you broke up, you never fell in love again."
It means that old love is unforgettable.
Shen Yanshu thought that he had not scolded Jiang Heming enough just now, and Huo Lang had exaggerated a lot.
She asked, "Didn't you say you heard everything? Then when I said we'd never see each other again, you didn't think I was just saying it in anger, did you?"
Although it was really said in anger, it was something very angry and disgusting.
Su Bai was silent.
In order to prevent Wen Xianyue from coming to this party, she was put on the spot and was not upset when Jiang Heming pressed her aggressively, but she was just angry. However, Su Bai's silence extinguished her fire like the sea water and made her sad.
She felt a little aggrieved. She had said that she wanted to pursue Su Bai and had sent him flowers twice, but Su Bai actually doubted her sincerity. Thinking of this, her dry eyes became moist. She knew that Su Bai was not wrong, but she was not wrong either, and she didn't want this to happen.
She turned her head away. She had never felt so aggrieved before, so the emotions were particularly strong when they came.
"Then take it seriously." Shen Yanshu sniffed and turned to look at Su Bai. Suddenly, he saw that his hand suspended in mid-air was holding a handkerchief.
She saw Su Bai's frozen face and her pupils shrank. For a moment, it was not right to take it, nor was it right not to take it.
"Wipe your tears." Su Bai took her hand. His hand was very cold. He placed the handkerchief in her palm. "If you still like him, you have to talk to him and make things clear."
Su Bai sighed softly and continued, "Don't be affected by your emotions and say things that hurt each other. If you need to explain the relationship between us, I will cooperate with you."
Su Bai felt melancholy and mechanically withdrew his hand. He saw the purple gem bracelet on Shen Yanshu's wrist, which was the same color as the platycodon growing on the desk.
"I don't like him." Shen Yanshu tentatively pulled Su Bai's fingers. He didn't hide. "We ended a long time ago. We broke up because he cheated on us."
She took a deep breath, looked up at Su Bai, and stared into his eyes, staring without rejection. "Su Bai, I will not forgive a cheating man. He was just wishful thinking, wanting to be a love saint. Besides, it's been so long, I don't like him anymore."
"What else do you want to ask? Ask everything, okay?" Shen Yanshu said, "I don't want this to become a barrier between us. If you have any questions, let's talk it out, okay?"
"After we make it clear, you can let me chase you, okay?"
Shen Yanshu used up all her life's patience. She did not beg, but just wanted to make it clear. If Su Bai was unwilling, then she had other ways to make Su Bai understand clearly. She liked the man in front of her, so she cherished him, wanted to understand him, and also wanted him to understand herself. It was that simple.
After a while, Su Bai finally spoke: "Your dyed hair looks really good, is it because of him?"
Shen Yanshu didn't care why Su Bai asked such a stupid question and immediately shook his head: "Of course not, it's because black hair is not so conspicuous at work. You know my dad, it would be too easy for him to notice, and his workload would double."
Since you want to explain it clearly, just ask it all again. It is better to ask clearly than to get confused yourself.
Su Bai asked again: "Then is it because of him that you went abroad to study?"
"Of course not. I went abroad to study because I was naturally talented. And I wanted to study philosophy, and foreign universities are better. I applied to several, stayed up late every day to study, and had dark circles under my eyes as heavy as a panda's. I only got accepted by three schools." As she spoke, Shen Yanshu moved closer, trying to let Su Bai see the dark circles she had four years ago from now.
"...Why did you come to his party today?"
"Because Yueyue asked me to come, I didn't want her to be caught in the middle. After all, I did hide something from her back then, but I promise it wasn't because of him." Shen Yanshu pinched his fingers and found that Su Bai's fingers were very long and soft. "Any other questions, Mr. Su?"
"No more." Su Bai felt better when he saw Shen Yanshu smiling.
"Then can I continue to pursue you in the future?" Shen Yanshu is the kind of person who can make a splash if given a little color. It would be a pity not to take advantage of the rare opportunity to be alone with him to flirt with him.
Su Bai avoided her gaze and said, "It depends on your mood."
Shen Yanshu lowered his head and laughed, suppressing his laughter as he replied, "Okay, it depends on my mood."
"Then do you want to come and watch my race?" Shen Yanshu produced a ticket from nowhere. "It's a ticket for my motorcycle race. I promised my mom that this would be the last time I participate in this kind of race. Do you want to come?"
As he said that, he stuffed the ticket into Su Bai's hand and smiled playfully: "If you miss it, you won't have another chance."
Su Bai held the ticket tightly and said, "Okay."
At this time, Huo Lang came over with Wen Xianyue.
"Are you done talking?" Huo Lang folded his arms and looked at them, clicking his tongue twice.
Shen Yanshu said, "We're done talking."
"Then let's go eat. I've booked a restaurant," Huo Lang said. "Let's make up for what we missed last time."
Then the four of them went to the restaurant together.
Shen Yanshu walked beside Huo Lang and said, "What did you say to Su Bai just now?"
Huo Lang smiled awkwardly: "Not much to say."
"Don't talk nonsense in the future." Shen Yanshu warned.
"Of course not." Huo Lang lowered his head slightly, moved closer to Shen Yanshu, and asked quietly, "Don't you think he has a cold personality?"
Shen Yanshu glared at him speechlessly: "You are the one with a low libido."
"A 28-year-old man whose only romantic relationship was a blind date arranged by his family, what else could he be but frigid?"
Speaking of Su Bai's past, Shen Yanshu's ears perked up. "Has he ever been in a relationship?"
"You must have thought about it!"
Huo Lang's voice rose, and Su Bai's big hand pinched his neck, "Gently!"
"I was wrong. I didn't say anything."
Huo Lang is not short, but Su Bai's height of 190 cm seems to be holding him back.
Su Bai let him go, straightened his suit, and looked at Shen Yanshu: "He talks too much."
Shen Yanshu raised his eyebrows: "I don't believe it all."
