45: Chapter 45: Ah, So Youâre Also Here_1 45: Chapter 45: Ah, So Youâre Also Here_1 At eight in the evening, Nanxi, along with Bai Yuchuan and others, went to a KTV room where she sang for almost an hour until Yang Su, bored, suggested they play a game.
Nanxi wasnât much interested in these entertainment activities, but not wanting to dampen everyoneâs spirits, she joined in!
The rules of the game were simple; spin the wheel, whoever it pointed to would be asked a question by the person who initially spun, and they had to answer truthfully!
Nanxi thought, isnât this just a sneaky way to eavesdrop on private information?
It was like Truth or Dare!
But considering she didnât have any secrets worth probing, she let go!
The first person the wheel pointed to was Zhang Mu, and the one asking the question was Yang Su.
Yang Suâs eyes were sharp, her gaze towards Zhang Mu was like saying âBoy, youâve finally fallen into my hands, Iâm going to have a blast playing with you!â Zhang Mu shuddered, instantly filled with a foreboding sense, he stood up, forcing a smile, âWhen nature calls, I have to run to the restroom, you guys carry on, enjoyâ¦.â
Just as he was about to step out, Lan Qiqi grabbed him, throwing him back on the sofa, shouting, âSusuâââ
Yang Su immediately complied, asking, âZhang Mu, how long did your first~nite~~last~~ hmm~~?â
âCough!â Nanxi was drinking tea, upon hearing Yang Suâs words, she choked, her face turning red at once!
Zhang Mu, embarrassed, forced a smile.
âSusu, actually, Iâm still a virgin.
If you donât believe it, you can tryâ¦Ouch!â
âThatâs for your cheeky remarks!â Lan Qiqi rubbed her hands, displaying her queen-like demeanor!
Nanxi felt a little sorry for Zhang Mu, but was helpless.
Just as Yang Su and Lan Qiqi were âtorturingâ Zhang Mu, Nanxiâs phone rang.
The incoming number read: 136â¦
âIâm going to take a call!â
Nanxi stood up, nonchalantly announcing her intentions, then scurried out of the room!
The call was from Lu Yinchu, who said: âNanxi, Iâm backâ¦â
His voice was warm and pleasant.
Oh!â Nanxi responded coolly.
In fact, Nanxi had no idea how to respond.
Though he had indeed mentioned three days ago that he would contact her on his return, she hadnât expected it at this hour!
And irregardless, his prior statement seemed to echo the sigh of a lover meeting after a long separationâ¦
Lu Yinchu asked, âWhere are you?â
âErâ¦â Nanxi was taken aback, then responded, âOut and about!â
âWhere?â The man insistently asked again!
âIn a KTV!â Nanxi bit her lip, feeling a little uncomfortable, âBut Iâm not alone, Iâm with a group of friendsâ¦â
Lu Yinchu asked for the name of the KTV, Nanxi, resigned, told himâ¦
Lu Yinchu gave a approving hum, then asked, âIs it the one on Bill Road?â
ââ¦yesâ¦â There was a hint of surprise in Nanxiâs voice; she hadnât expected Lu Yinchu to be familiar with a relatively low-end KTV!
However, when Lu Yinchu spoke the following sentence, Nanxi realized, in this world, nothing is impossible, even though she indeed felt blindsided by this particular âimpossibilityââ¦
Lu Yinchu said, âWhat a coincidence, I also happened to be hereâ¦â
Then he asked Nanxi, âWhich room are you inâ¦â
â¦
Two minutes later, Nanxi saw Mo Yan, still impeccably dressed in a suit, handsome but somewhat cold and aloof.
Mo Yan walked over, âMiss Gu, sorry to keep you waitingâ¦â
They were not on the same floor.
Nanxiâs room was on the third floor, Lu Yinchu was on the fifthâthe top floor.
On the way, Nanxiâs mind was buzzing, thinking she shouldnât have impulsively agreed to meet Lu Yinchu.
It wasnât because she didnât want to see him, but she felt that it wasnât the right setting for a meeting, although she really wanted to know his answer!
As Nanxi walked in a conflicting state of mind, she unknowingly reached her destination.
The door to the room opened, and Mo Yan gestured her in.
Nanxi forced a smile and stepped in!
There were three men sitting in the room, to be precise, three different men.
Nanxi focused her gaze on Lu Yinchu, who sat in the middle sipping his drink leisurely.
He had let down his guard, and his handsome face was slightly tense.
His eyelashes cast a small curved shadow under his eyes that was deep, reserved and elusive.
But no matter when, this man stood out in a strikingly conspicuous way, even though the other two men beside him were incredibly handsome.
When a attractive female walked in, all three men noticed.
Lu Yinchu looked up, gazed deeply at her, and said nonchalantly, âHave a seat!â
Nanxi walked over carefully and sat at a place a bit far from Lu Yinchu and the other two men, feeling out of place.
One of the men by her side opened his mouth with a playful tone, âYinchu, you bring a pretty girl out of nowhere, arenât you going to introduce her?â
Nanxi frowned and glanced at the man.
He was handsome, but there was a hint of licentiousness in his eyes.
He appeared about the same age as Lu Yinchu but lacked his maturity!
Lu Yinchu said, âHer name is Gu Nanxi, a student at H Universityâ¦â
Such a simple introduction, butâ¦
The silent man at the side raised his brows slightly, âH University?
Seems like sheâs a junior.
But the age difference is quite big.
We graduated from H University ten years agoâ¦
By the way, Shaojing, isnât your sister also in H University?
I recall, sheâs in the Chinese Department!â
Upon hearing Chinese Department, Nanxi quickly responded, âIâm also in the Chinese Departmentâ¦â
After saying this, she felt a little embarrassed.
She had spoken too eagerly, sigh!
She gave a laugh and stayed quiet.
Han Shaojing smiled, âWhat a coincidence, you two might even know each other.
However, my sister is not very bright, sheâs about to graduate and she still hasnât finished her thesis yet, itâs worryingâ¦â
Nanxi paused, about to graduateâ¦
this must be one of her classmates?
âMy sisterâs name is Han Baobao, I wonder if Nanxi knows herâ¦â The manâs gaze shifted towards her!
Taking a breath, then another, gathering her bearings, Nanxi finally spoke, âI know a girl named Han Baobao, sheâs my classmate, as well asâ¦my roommate, I suspect, itâs your sisterâ¦â
Nanxi had not expected to meet Han Baobaoâs often mentioned âbrotherâ at this event.
The man seemed fairly gentlemanly, although his demeanor was quite different from Baobaoâs!
Nanxi had sat in the room for about ten minutes.
Lu Yinchu seemed to have no intention of discussing the matter of the storefront contract.
Nanxi was thinking of leaving!
âYinchu, donât just drink.
Itâs rare for Nanxi to join us.
It wouldnât be right for her to just sit and stare at us old men, would it?
How about singing a song to liven the atmosphere, what do you think?â
Before Nanxi could respond, Han Shaojing, who was sitting on the sidelines, suddenly suggested.
