"Luo Chi ah, he's my high school alumni and also knows that friend of mine. They're more familiar with each other, since they were in the same class. Later, Luo Chi entered the film school and is now a small-time actor. My friend was still saying he wouldn't come today, I didn't expect him to actually come." Xu Yi introduced him to Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun nodded, looking thoughtful.
The world was truly small ah. It turns out everyone knew each other, and Luo Chi actually was a son of Heaven.
Luo Chi's father was the original owner's driver. Because Luo Chi's mother died when he was very young, so Luo Chi followed his father. In the ages before the original owner was ten years old, they lived in the original owner's house. Luo Chi could also be considered Jiang Xun's childhood playmate, only Luo Chi's personality was withdrawn. He rarely talked to the similarly introverted Jiang Xun, thus the two didn't have much communication.
They watched Luo Chi find a corner sofa to sit down on. After a while, Xu Yi's friend came.
"This is the Qian Yun Fei I was talking about." Xu Yi introduced.
When Qian Yun Fei saw Jiang Xun, he froze for a while before then sighing with emotion. "The real person is even more beautiful than the photos."
"I told you I know her, you just wouldn't believe me." Xu Yi smirked.
"Haha, I just didn't expect it." Qian Yun Fei said embarrassedly. Then he saw Luo Chi and his eyes lit up, "Luo Chi is also here, I'll go over and say hello."
"Why don't you take us there?" Xu Yi said, "I am also an alumnus with him."
"Okay." Qian Yun Fei glanced at Jiang Xun, "I know Luo Chi quite well. My father even invested in the first movie he acted in."
Luo Chi was sitting on the sofa. He was currently looking down at his phone when they went over.
"I didn't expect you, the big star, to have time to come too." Qian Yun Fei smiled at Luo Chi.
"I just happened to have some free time." Luo Chi's gaze stayed on Jiang Xun's face for a second.
"I'm Xu Yi, from the same high school as you." Xu Yi's attitude was enthusiastic as she reached out to shake hands with him.
Luo Chi nodded politely, "Hello."
He glanced at Jiang Xun again and said with a deeper meaning, "Long time no see."
Jiang Xun looked at him ignorantly, her gaze was as pure and bright as Luo Chi remembered.
"Ah, you guys know each other," Xu Yi exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Xun's eyes drooped as she nodded, "En."
Since her gaze didn't land on Luo Chi's body, Luo Chi's gaze grew deeper and deeper.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became more subtle.
Luo Chi's eyelids moved as he uttered a few words lightly, his expression calm. "My dad used to be her driver."
When the original parent's parents had that accident, Luo Chi's father was the one driving. Although his father was lucky enough to be rescued, he could no longer walk.
Later, when the original owner moved into Xue's house, Xue Yuan had mentioned that a boy visited her several times. However, she was reluctant to even go out, so she didn't meet him. It was another two years since the original owner saw Luo Chi after she fell in love with Xue Zhou. At that time, Luo Chi had already graduated from high school and was about to go to university outside the city. He came to find the original owner to tell the original owner that he had always liked her, but was bluntly rejected by the original owner.
Luo Chi's words made them a little awkward, but Qian Yun Fei quickly changed the subject and asked what Luo Chi was up to lately.
Jiang Xun's gaze drifted away. After a while, she quietly examined Luo Chi. .
Her small actions were caught by Luo Chi's eyes, causing Luo Chi's lips to press lightly together.
"Xun Xun, didn't you say that you've already signed under Ju Qing Sheng Shi? Then are you also going to act in the future? It's likely that you will cooperate with Luo Chi." Xu Yi suddenly brought up.
Jiang Xun hesitated, "Probably."
Luo Chi furrowed his brows. He glanced at Jiang Xun with doubts in his eyes.
Yet, Qian Yun Fei was extremely agitated. "You signed with Ju Xing Sheng Shi. My dad knows their managing director. I can go back and talk to my dad to have him watch out for you."
Jiang Xun thought of that managing director she met in the afternoon. His attitude towards her was respectful, just she didn't know what identity Huo Yuan Ze had told him.
However, she enjoyed this kind of treatment very much.
Jiang Xun smiled sweetly, "No need."
"Yeah, Xun Xun doesn't need it. It's not like you don't know her strength, beautiful and a sweet voice. She's a talented person. What does she need you to do?" Xu Yi said in agreement.
Qian Yun Fei looked at Jiang Xun, his face flushed. "Alright then."
When it reached nine o'clock, Jiang Xun was getting drowsy. Huo Yuan Ze also happened to call at this time.
Jiang Xun was surprised. She didn't expect Huo Yuan Ze to take the initiative to look for her this soon.
She got up and went to an isolated area to answer the call. The smile on her face was very obvious, making Qian Yun Fei couldn't help asking Xu Yi curiously. "Is the famous flower taken?"
Xu Yi shook her head, "I don't know."
"You didn't even ask? What use do you have?"
"I didn't think of it, not to mention whether she did or not, you wouldn't have a chance anyway. Just give up." Xu Yi and Qian Yun Fei bickered, completely unaware of Luo Chi's increasingly grave expression.
Soon, Jiang Xun returned, smiling. "I'm going to leave first, let's meet up another time."
"Ah? You left this early?" Both Xu Yi and Qian Yun Fei were a little disappointed.
"En, I'm a little tired and live rather isolated. It'll be late when I get home." Jiang Xun explained.
"Then okay, I'll drop you off." Qian Yun Fei took the initiative to say.
Jiang Xun waved her hand, "There's someone that will come to pick me up, they'll be here soon."
Just now Huo Yuan Ze said on the phone he's sending the driver to pick her up and will arrive soon.
Older man was truly considerate. Once they got together, they were completely different.
Right now, Jiang Xun is still interested in Huo Yuan Ze. Even if she saw Luo Chi, who is also the son of Heaven, it didn't affect her. Luo Chi was still placed in third place. The first was Huo Yuan Ze, then Xie Zhou.
She always liked to take it step by step. This kind of thing can't be done too hastily. Boats must be stepped on steadily, lest the boats capsize and neither fish is caught.
"Is your boyfriend coming to pick you up?" Xu Yi blinked curiously and asked Jiang Xun, pulling her hand.
"No," Jiang Xun pursed her smiling lips, "It's my boyfriend's driver."
"Oh!" Xu Yi smiled ambiguously, dragging the ending sound.
"Then I'm leaving first, see you next time."
After Jiang Xun left, Qian Yun Fei asked Luo Chi. "You knew Jiang Xun so early, was she still that beautiful when she was a child?"
Luo Chi's mind quickly showed an image of childhood Jiang Xun. At that time Jiang Xun lived on the second floor, while he lived on the first floor. Jiang Xun didn't go out very much, so he rarely saw her. One time when Jiang Xun's parents weren't at home, they had Luo Chi's father take her to the hospital for an examination. However, Jiang Xun hadn't woken up, so Luo Chi's father asked Luo Chi to wake up Jiang Xun.
The sleeping Jiang Xun was like an angel. Her pink and delicate face was so beautiful that it made him not dare to breathe, afraid he would disturb her. Clearly, he came to wake her up, but he didn't want to make a sound, because as soon as she woke up, he wouldn't be able to blatantly stare at her.
Luo Chi slowly approached her. She seemed to be having a sweet dream. The sweet smile on the corner of her mouth melted his entire heart. As he felt himself immersed in honey, he especially wanted to get closer to her.
He watched Jiang Xun in the room for a long time. In the end, Jiang Xun woke up by herself. He could still remember the moment when she slowly opened her eyes. His heart seemed to be touched by something, soft and moist, like rain in his heart.
In the years that followed, Luo Chi still often dreamed of this scene.
When Luo Chi exited his thoughts, his gaze was a little cold. He glanced at the time, "En, she was very beautiful. It's not early anymore, I'm leaving too, you guys have fun."
As soon as he left, Xu Yi and Qian Yun Fei looked at each other and suddenly felt things weren't as fun.
"Then we should... … also leave. I keep feeling there's something weird between the two of them." Xu Yi had an instinct. Plus, the way Luo Chi looked at Jiang Xun held emotions that she couldn't quite understand.
"Is there? Maybe it's because they knew each other before." Qian Yun Fei said.
...
When Jiang Xun passed the bank, Jiang Xun asked the driver to pull over on a whim. She got out of the car to the ATM to check the balance in the card.
There were many digits. Jiang Xun had to count twice before confirming it was fifty million.
This allowance was on the higher side. Jiang Xun giddily ran back to the car. After getting in the car, she called Huo Yuan Ze.
"Uncle Huo, are you home yet?" Jiang Xun said softly.
"Almost, I'm on the road." Huo Yuan Ze's voice was a little husky. Deep and baritone, it sounded a little tired.
"Uncle Huo, I miss you so much ah." Jiang Xun acted coquettish.
Huo Yuan Ze paused and asked softly, "Are you in the car?"
"En, I'm almost there too. Am I going to your house or returning to mine?" Jiang Xun probed.
Huo Yuan Ze replied, "Wait for me downstairs at my house."
"I just knew Uncle Huo missed me too. Then you'll have to hug me well later, I'm so tired."
"Okay."
His doting voice made people want to indulge, Jiang Xun couldn't help smiling.
"Uncle Huo, I'll see you later."
Jiang Xun arrived before Huo Yuan Ze. However, she saw Huo Yuan Ze's car as soon as she got out of the car. Before Huo Yuan Ze's car could stop, she trotted over.
When Huo Yuan Ze got out of the car, his face was scarily sullen. "Don't move."
Jiang Xun bit her lips, "What's the matter?"
"If the car doesn't stop, don't run. Stand still and wait for me." Huo Yuan Ze said in a deep voice, a little stern.
"I just miss you too much." Jiang Xun lowered her head and whispered.
Huo Yuan Ze reached out and pulled Jiang Xun into his arms, "Look up."
Jiang Xun softly refused, "No, you're too fierce. I don't dare to look at you."
Huo Yuan Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He helplessly explained, "I wasn't being fierce at you."
"Then you have to be gentle to me in the future, otherwise I will cry." Only then did Jiang Xun raise her head to look at Huo Yuan Ze. Her eyes were so dazzling that it reflected in Huo Yuan Ze's heart. On this chilly night, it actually gave him a sense of warmth.
"It's not like you're a child, why are you crying over nothing?" Huo Yuan Ze rubbed her head.
"I am too a child, your child, so you have to pamper me." Jiang Xun put her arms around his waist and answered capriciously, nuzzling him.
Huo Yuan Ze said helplessly, "Did I say I don't have a niece as old as you, nor a daughter as old as you?"
"But aren't you happy to find me, such a young girlfriend?" Jiang Xun fluttered her eyes, looking at him with her doe-like eyes.
Huo Yuan Ze smiled without saying a word.
Jiang Xun looked up, "Uncle Huo is acquiescing then, I still want kisses."
The corners of Huo Yuan Ze's mouth rose slightly. Only after a while did he say, "Let's go inside the house."
"Then you carry me in, I can't walk anymore." Jiang Xun opened her arms and stretched out towards him.
It was the first time Huo Yuan Ze met someone as clingy as Jiang Xun. This was also because he wouldn't take another look at other women, let alone give them a chance to speak this much.
After Huo Yuan Ze carried her, Jiang Xun lifted her head to kiss him on the cheek. "Uncle Huo is really strong, hale and hearty despite the years."
Huo Yuan Ze's footsteps halted. He staggered and almost fell as his face became more subtle.
Jiang Xun was shocked. She clutched her chest, teasing him. "Uncle Huo, you just can't be praised, can you? You'll have to be more composed in the future."
