Nan Luo: 7. Don’t I deserve a name?
Luo Hao had just come out of the bathroom after a shower when he heard Yu Chuanbei standing on the balcony talking on the phone. "So, what time is your flight tomorrow? Okay, I'll take you there. I don't have classes tomorrow afternoon... Okay, okay, I get it. Why are you suddenly so fussy... Tonight? Of course I'll have to eat whatever's expensive! You've been here this time and caused so much trouble. You'll have to treat me to a feast that I haven't been able to afford in the past three years... Okay, then send me the address and the order information." He hung up the phone and turned to see Luo Hao, shirtless, clutching a white towel, staring at him intently. He was stunned and didn't know what to say. But Luo Hao asked first, "Is Jinnan leaving tomorrow afternoon?" "Yeah," Yu Chuanbei said. Seeing the dripping water from his hair, and how haggard he'd become these past few days, looking rather pathetic, Yu Chuanbei couldn't help but say, "She's treating me to dinner in Central tonight, as a farewell dinner. How about you come?" Luo Hao lowered his eyes, wiped the cold water from his neck, and muffled his words, "She didn't mention me, did she?" "No," Yu Chuanbei said matter-of-factly. "Then ask her ahead of time if she'll let me go," Luo Hao said humbly. In Yu Chuanbei's eyes, Luo Hao had always been a spoiled brat, a Shanghainese middle-class child, proud in his parents' eyes, with a lingering cynicism and little resilience. He was generally diligent in his studies, cautious in his friendships, and had a generally smooth future. He'd originally planned to spend a few years in Hong Kong, hoping to find a high-paying job back in Shanghai, get married, and have children. Unexpectedly, being mistreated by his second sister had made him look so worn out. "Don't ask her. If you do, she'll start nagging. It's just a meal, she can afford it. Come with me tonight and say goodbye properly, and the pain will subside," Yu Chuanbei said righteously. *~*~*~*~*~*~ In the Caprice restaurant on the sixth floor of the Four Seasons Hotel, sunlight, like a veil of veil, gently fell on Yu Jinnan, her short silver skirt glistening delicately. Czech crystal chandeliers and the shimmering waters of Victoria Harbour outside shimmered, but neither could compare to her brilliance. Luo Hao gazed at her beautiful profile from afar, searching for a hint of longing in her rapt eyes as she gazed out the window at the beautiful scenery, but he found none. Yu Chuanbei stepped forward and called out, "Second sister." Yu Jinnan turned back in response, only to be met with Luo Hao's burning gaze. She was surprised. Especially seeing him in the same suit they had worn when they first met, his figure still as handsome, but his demeanor had lost its youthful styling. Yu Chuanbei...
Luo Hao had just come out of the bathroom when he heard Yu Chuanbei standing on the balcony talking on the phone.
"So, what time is your flight tomorrow? Okay, I'll take you there. I don't have classes tomorrow afternoon... Okay, okay, I get it. Why are you suddenly so fussy... Tonight? Of course I'll have to eat whatever's expensive! You've caused so much trouble this time, you'll have to treat me to a feast I haven't been able to afford in the past three years...

After he hung up the phone, he turned around and saw Luo Hao, shirtless, clutching a white towel, staring intently at him. He was stunned and didn't know what to say, but Luo Hao asked first, "Is Jinnan leaving tomorrow afternoon?"
"Yeah," Yu Chuanbei said. Seeing his hair dripping with water and looking a little haggard these days, looking rather pitiful, Yu Chuanbei couldn't bear to see him and said, "She invited me to dinner in Central tonight, as a farewell party. How about you come too?"
Luo Hao lowered his eyes, wiped the cold water droplets from his neck, and asked in a muffled voice: "She didn't mention me, did she?"
"No." Yu Chuanbei told the truth.
"Then you should ask her in advance to see if she will let me go." Luo Hao said humbly.
In Yu Chuanbei's eyes, Luo Hao had always been a spoiled brat. Born into a middle-class Shanghai family, he was proud of his parents, tinged with cynicism and little resilience. He studied only moderately, made friends cautiously, and had a generally uneventful future. He had originally planned to spend a few years in Hong Kong, then return to Shanghai for a high-paying job, marriage, and children. Unexpectedly, the abuse he endured from his second sister had made him seem so weathered.
"Don't ask her. If you do, she'll start nagging. It's just a meal. It's not like she can't afford it. Come with me in the evening, say goodbye properly, and you'll feel better." Yu Chuanbei said righteously.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
At Caprice Restaurant on the sixth floor of the Four Seasons Hotel, sunlight, like a veil of veil, gently streamed down upon Yu Jinnan, her short silver skirt glistening delicately. Czech crystal chandeliers and the shimmering surface of Victoria Harbour beyond the window shimmered, but none could outshine her brilliance.
Luo Hao looked at her beautiful profile from afar, trying to find a trace of sadness in her infatuated eyes as she looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, but he couldn't find any.
Yu Chuanbei stepped forward and called out "Second Sister." Yu Jinnan turned around and was met with Luo Hao's burning gaze. She was surprised. Especially since he was wearing the same suit they had worn when they first met. His figure was still as handsome, but his youthful demeanor had faded.
Seeing the two of them standing there in a stalemate, Yu Chuanbei dragged Luo Hao to sit down with him, and took the initiative to ease the atmosphere, saying, "I brought my classmates with me. I'm going to let you spend a lot of money today. I heard that your business is good this time, right?"
Yu Jinnan really thought it was just her younger brother asking his classmates to join her for a free meal. She took on the warm attitude of an older sister and greeted them warmly, "Yes, we made a lot of money on this trip. The boss even said he'd throw me a party to celebrate when we get back to Paris. I've already ordered the appetizer, but I haven't ordered your classmate's yet. I'll add another one, or if you have anything else you'd like to eat, let me know and I'll help you order."
Luo Hao's heart was stabbed. Was he not even worthy of being mentioned in her mouth? She just brushed him off with the words "your classmate".
Yu Chuanbei also felt that his second sister had gone too far, so he gritted his teeth and pretended to smile as he said, "We only eat expensive food, not the right ones, so don't be stingy."
Although the meal included oysters, caviar, and French pigeon, and Yu Jinnan handled the whole process with ease as if he were a customer, Yu Chuanbei still felt uncomfortable eating because Luo Hao didn't say a word the entire time, like a humanoid robot cooking with a knife and fork.
"Are you going back to Paris tomorrow?" Yu Chuanbei knew what Luo Hao wanted to hear, so he asked in a guiding manner.
Yu Jinnan was never one to be trifled with, so he naturally understood his intention. "Yes, but I'm not sure where I'll be flying to after that. I'm very busy, dealing with all kinds of people every day."
Yu Chuanbei continued to ask, "Do you have any psychological barriers to flying now? My eldest sister called my parents overseas and said she was afraid to fly. My third sister even went to see a psychologist before flying for her honeymoon."
This topic seemed to feed Luo Hao, the robot, high-quality material, instantly awakening the dormant AI. He looked up at Yu Jinnan with concern. He didn't know the background of Yu Chuanbei's question, but he was eager to know what had happened to her, what she had suffered, and what was bothering her.
Yu Jinnan noticed his change from the corner of her eye, but she still lowered her head and slowly cut the steak, then gracefully brought the piece of meat to her mouth and chewed it repeatedly. "Lingdong and Jingxi are both members of the Gu family, and they have a lot of ties, young and old. I'm a free man, what do I have to be afraid of! I often think, in that plane crash, if the three of us sisters had died with my parents, wouldn't we have nothing now? That's why I want to live freely and indulge in joy."
Luo Hao knew that she said this on purpose for him to hear, so he lowered his head again and concentrated on eating.
The meal ended strangely. Even when the three of them took the same taxi back to the school and got off together at her apartment building, she didn't say a word to Luo Hao. Her last "goodbye" before going upstairs was also said lightly, no different from saying "thank you" to a taxi driver.
Yu Chuanbei and Luo Hao walked side by side back to school. He felt like the person beside him was a walking corpse, unable to feel his emotions or warmth. Entering the dormitory, Luo Hao sat in front of the desk for a moment, then said to Yu Chuanbei, who was unsure what to pack, "Tomorrow afternoon, let me go by myself to see Jinnan off, okay?"
Yu Chuanbei glanced at his lonely figure and saw that he was just talking to the wall, so he hurriedly agreed, "Okay, sure, no problem."
*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yu Jinnan has packed her luggage. She only needs a 28-inch suitcase to travel across thousands of miles.
She took a shower and prepared to apply moisturizer all over her body to prepare for the more than ten-hour flight.
Coming out of the bathroom, she heard the sound of a new message on her phone. She took a look and saw it was from Luo Hao: "I'm at your apartment door right now."
She frowned and ran to open the door. Luo Hao was the only one outside. She looked around again, but Yu Chuanbei was nowhere to be seen.
"I'm the only one here. I asked Yu Chuanbei to let me come alone. I'll take you to the airport." Luo Hao said.
Yu Jinnan paused, then opened the door and said to him, "Come in."
He saw that she was only wearing a long silk shirt with a low collar. The pink and white fabric showed the color of her underwear. Her two long legs were crossing and intertwining, which made him feel uneasy.
He had originally just wanted to act like her, pretending to be cruel and mature, coldly seeing her off, and proudly turning away. But at this moment, his soul was easily seduced away by her again, even though she had no intention of seducing him at all, which made him feel even more embarrassed.
Yu Jinnan noticed his embarrassment and said apologetically, "It's still early for boarding. Yu Chuanbei always sends me off on time. I didn't expect you to come so early, so I haven't finished packing yet. Please wait for me while I change my clothes and come out."
"No rush, I came too early." Of course he wouldn't say that he woke up at four or five in the morning, ran ten kilometers on the playground, but still couldn't get rid of his longing for her. He tried hard to suppress it and waited until this moment.
Yu Jinnan walked into the bedroom, placed one foot on the dressing stool, and applied moisturizing cream to her legs. This erotic scene was reflected in the dressing mirror opposite the door, which was ajar. Luo Hao watched her long, white legs being gently massaged by his fingertips. As she applied the cream to her arms and neck, she unbuttoned two more buttons, revealing her plump, snow-white chest. She pushed the milky white moisturizing cream into her snow-white skin inch by inch from her palm, applying it to her back. She twisted her white wrists, struggling to apply the cream.
"Let me help you." Luo Hao pushed the door open.
Jin Nan panicked and hurriedly pulled up his shirt, which was almost sliding to his waist, to cover the beautiful scenery on his chest.
Seeing that he had extended his hand towards her, she had no choice but to hand him the tube of lotion in her hand. She turned slightly, gathered her hair to her chest, and pulled her silk shirt down, revealing a dazzlingly white back.
Luo Hao filled his hands with lotion, touched her beautiful back which was as smooth as white jade, and applied it bit by bit, gradually increasing the strength.
