7: Chapter 07 Fifty Steps, You Can See Me_1 7: Chapter 07 Fifty Steps, You Can See Me_1 Nanxi stared at the string of numbers beginning with 136 that Liang Qiaoqiao had sent to her phone, lacking the courage to dial it for a long timeâ¦
Returning the handkerchiefâ¦
Although it held with the age-old Chinese tradition of borrowing and returning whatâs borrowed, would a respectable CEO care about one measly handkerchief?!
So initially, Nanxi planned to ask Liang Qiaoqiao to return it, perhaps it could help her rekindle her lost connection!
However, to her surprise, Liang Qiaoqiao, after some startles and dreads, unwillingly responded, âSince you said that guy was average and not worthy of me, Iâve lost interest in meeting him, I wonât go!â Immediately, she hung up the phone.
Twenty seconds later, a text arrived:
ââSince itâs a problem you created, you deal with it!
Along with a string of phone numbers!
A problem?
Nanxi sighedâ¦
Later, Nanxi pondered for three days whether she should make that call.
During this time, she washed the blue handkerchief three times, each time trying to wear it awayâ¦
That way, sheâd have a good excuse while on the call, something like, âAh, sorry, Mr.
Lu, your handkerchief appears to be of terrible quality.
Iâve accidentally washed it to shreds.
Do you still want itâ¦?â
But, unfortunately, the handkerchief turned out to be of quite excellent qualityâ¦
So, on the fourth day, Nanxi, conceding defeat, dialed the 136 numberâ¦
The ring went on for over thirty seconds without anyone answering.
Just as Nanxi, frowning, was about to hang up, relieved, a low and magnetic male voice said, âHello, this is Lu Yinchuâ¦â
â¦
By the time Nanxi stepped out of her dorm, Lan Qiqi was already waiting there in a long black skirt, her hair tied up neatly into a ponytail exuding an air of competence and freshness, quite the aura of a queenâ¦
Nanxi asked her, âLeaving?â
Yang Su interjected, âArenât you to return the handkerchief?
There are so many bad people in this world.
Youâre so naive and stupid, what if you get tricked⦠Lanlan is a black belt in Taekwondo, she should accompany you!â
Nanxi, touching her forehead, felt touched that they were caring about her safety, but what did they mean by her being naive and stupid?
Where was she naive and stupid?!â¦
In the end, Nanxi went out alone.
The explanation she gave was that the person she was about to meet was her future potential brother-in-lawâ¦
Her cousin, Liang Qiaoqiao, was on good terms with her dorm mates.
They liked Qiaoqiao who was older and often took them to gatherings and outings.
On the subject of the man Qiaoqiao was considering, they felt relievedâ¦
Because if Nanxi really was bullied, the first to get angry would be Qiaoqiao, and her cruel methods were far more formidable than those of Lan Qiqiâ¦
While Lan Qiqi practiced Taekwondo, Liang Qiaoqiao specialized in womenâs boxing + Judo, and both were at high levelsâ¦
â¦
Upon leaving the school gates, Nanxi looked for the value-of-hundreds-of-thousands newest model Land Rover she was fortunate to see a few days ago, then her phone rang: a call from the 136 numberâ¦
Nanxi answered!
âWalk fifty steps to your left, and youâll see meâ¦â
On the phone, the manâs magnetic voice was warm and pleasingâ¦
Nanxi did as he ordered and indeed saw a familiar car enter her sight.
Inside sat a man.
Although she couldnât see his face clearly from afar, Nanxi was sure that it was himâ¦
Nanxi waved a hand at the car and then ran towards it.
As she got closer, she finally saw the manâs face.
It even seemed that, on his lipsâ¦there was a smileâ¦
Nanxi walked up to the car, knocked on the window, the window rolled down but before she even opened her mouth, the man spoke first, coldly giving two words, âGet in!â
