On the golf course, the winding and undulating lawns are maintained by professionals and are trimmed to be emerald green. The water of the lake not far away is sparkling, and at first glance, it seems to be turning over layer after layer of beautiful crystal-like objects.

On a small hill, the slender figure of a girl in white sportswear seemed to blend into the scene behind her, which looked like a landscape painting, and became a particularly eye-catching line in it.

The brim of her baseball cap covered her eyebrows, leaving only her small chin as white as snow exposed, making it difficult to see her specific expression at the moment.

But she exuded a sense of indifference from top to bottom. She raised her hand and moved her wrist slightly, then swung the club in her hand to the right, making a power-gathering movement.

Then in the next second, the corner of the girl's red lips curled up in a very shallow arc, so shallow that it would not be noticed if you didn't look carefully. It seemed to carry a bit of nonchalance.

But the moment he raised his hand and swung the club, at that instant, he was decisive and clean, and hit the ball directly and neatly. Even the parabola of the white ball in the air was very pleasing to the eye.

…

At the same time, at the other end of the lawn, the girl's beautiful swing and hand posture were fully recorded in the camera.

“Cut!”

"Alright Sheng Yuan! I passed it in one go!"

Jiang Mingxin, wearing a headset on his ears, sat in front of several small screens. He raised his hand and gestured towards the distance, then turned to look at Xia Xicheng who was sitting aside, and praised him with a loud laugh.

"Good boy, your sister has taught you well! I never knew you were quite capable."

Young Master Xia, who said "no merit and no reward", felt guilty and laughed dryly a few times. He didn't respond, but he didn't dare to deny it. He could only keep complaining in his heart -

He taught? He taught like a fool, his sister was just busy looking at the recipes.

Although Xia Xicheng was somewhat familiar with these outdoor sports in his spare time, he played them mainly for entertainment and to kill time, so he was not serious about it. Therefore, in just a short time, he was not capable of teaching such standard movements...

Jiang Mingxin said that he wanted him to teach Sheng Yuan.

However, the truth is - judging from the last shot, his sister might be even better at it than him...

Jiang Mingxin was somewhat surprised by Xia Xicheng's embarrassed and hesitant look.

Hey, this young master has always been so careless and willful. Tsk, why does he become humble now that people are praising him?

Chen Liu beside him just smiled and said nothing.

Ling Lan, who was sitting in the lounge chair behind Jiang Mingxin, sensitively noticed the change in Xu Lizhi's expression at the moment.

The man frowned slightly and stared at the video screen in front of him which was playing the scene of Sheng Yuan hitting the ball in reverse.

The pair of silver-grey eyes that were always as cold as a mountain, now revealed an emotion different from the usual coldness and calmness -

Like...surprised? Shocked? Confused? Ling Lan looked sideways calmly, observing Xu Lizhi carefully.

Surprised...?

Senior brother, what is he surprised about?

The more she observed, the more uncomfortable Ling Lan felt.

Senior Brother has been focusing on Sheng Yuan for a long time...

Xu Lizhi was puzzled.

When Xia Xicheng was covering for his sister Sheng Yuan, he only paid attention to Jiang Mingxin. He was so careless that he didn't notice that Xu Lizhi and another person were teaching Ling Lan how to play basketball on the lawn on the other side.

From Xu Lizhi's position, he could see the movements of Xia Xicheng and the other two people just by glanced sideways.

He saw clearly that from beginning to end, the girl sat there and never picked up the golf club.

Xia Xicheng didn't teach her anything, but when she swung the club just now, the arc, movement, and posture were all without any pause or hesitation that a novice should have.

Very strange.

Xu Lizhi's strange feeling of doubt deepened after Jiang Ming finished filming Chen Liu and Ling Lan's swing.

Chen Liu and Ling Lan behaved as expected, just like newbies with inexperienced movements.

Finally, Xu Lizhi came to an accurate conclusion:

Sheng Yuan knows how to play golf and she is very skilled at it.

But she said no...

Why? Xu Lizhi's silver-grey eyes fell quietly on the girl's slender white back in the shooting area, his eyes seemed to be analyzing in confusion.

…

Suddenly, I heard a new message notification sound from my mobile phone.

The sound came from a pure black-framed mobile phone in Xia Xicheng's hand.

Xu Lizhi just happened to glance sideways subconsciously, and then his sight seemed to be fixed, and he never looked back -

Because he saw the screen saver wallpaper of this phone.

Mobile phones are personal private property and are inherently sensitive. Xu Lizhi does not have the habit of prying into other people's privacy, and of course he is not interested in it.

However, he had an impression of the person on the wallpaper. He had seen him before...

Xu Lizhi has always had a good memory.

He clearly remembered that it was on that night when he came out of the psychiatrist's office and was about to cross the lobby of Xuyang Hotel when he saw and passed by the tightly wrapped, elegant young man.

The same dark hoodie and pants, the same baseball cap and mask covering the face.

Although there is nothing that can be used to distinguish and confirm, such as clothing logos or patterns, the two are obviously not in the same background scene.

However, that identical, equally cold aura cannot deceive anyone.

The boy he had met and the boy on the screensaver of this phone were the same person.

…

Xu Lizhi subconsciously took a few more glances.

With just these two glances, he could clearly see that the owner of the phone cherished the person in this screensaver very much.

The background of the photo is completely blurred, so blurry that you can't see what the surrounding area looks like.

In the world of the last photo, all the noise and bustle have been blurred, eliminated, and abandoned, and then only the boy at the center remains——

A slender, clear and elegant figure.

Xia Xicheng also heard the notification sound from the mobile phone, so the next second, Xu Lizhi saw Xia Xicheng turn around, grab the mobile phone on the folding stool, and stand up.

She waved and shouted to someone on the other end, "Sister, there's a message on your phone."

Xu Lizhi lifted his eyelids and looked up—

I saw a girl walking towards me with her baseball cap off.
