A moment later, Rong Feiyu managed to muster a forced smile on her face. “I’ve forgotten all about our childhood.”
“But I haven’t.” Su Yifan gently held her hand, warmth filling his eyes. “When we were kids and those bullies tormented me, you stood in front of me with a brick in hand. Later, those older kids pushed you into a filthy pond, nearly drowning you. You were feverish and delirious for a week after that rescue. I could never forget such a thing, Feiyu. I’ve loved you since we were children. Do you even remember our first meeting?”
Awash of memories colored Su Yifan’s expression.
Rong Feiyu grinned slightly. “We don’t need to remember childhood events in such vivid detail. It’s all in the past.”
“Seems you’ve truly forgotten,” Su Yifan sighed. “When they pulled you out of that pond, I asked you your name. You started saying your surname was Rong, but then you fainted before you could finish.”
“So that’s how it was…” Rong Feiyu nodded. “Yifan, after hearing you recount it, it jogged a bit of my memory.”
“That’s alright. We have a lifetime ahead of us to recollect. Let’s go revise now; I’ll definitely help you find a way to ace your final exams.”
“Okay.” Rong Feiyu nodded, her thoughts evidently elsewhere.
Rong Qi didn’t stay long at the university either. After her classmates in Class 7 had asked enough questions, she picked up her bag and left. However, the moment she stepped out of the university gate, a car horn sounded.
A black luxury business car was parked in front of the gates—ostentatiously lavish. A person from the passenger seat emerged, opened the rear door, and gestured for Rong Qi to get in.
Seated inside, Sheng Jian waved at her.
Rong Qi cast Sheng Jian a fleeting glance and turned to walk the other way. Xu Yi was waiting for her there.
Sheng Jian’s eyebrow twitched. Just as he was about to step out and invite her personally, she came over on her own. He sat back in his original position, waiting for Rong Qi to join him.
Once inside the car, Rong Qi curtly said after the bodyguard closed the door, “Find a place to eat first. I’m hungry.”
“Sure, sure, no problem at all.”
Hearing that, Sheng Jian couldn’t stop nodding and chuckling, directing the driver to take them to Kudo Pavilion.
During the drive, Sheng Jian rubbed his thumb and index finger together, contemplating whether to say something to ease the tension. He didn’t want the atmosphere to turn awkward and potentially offend Rong Qi.
However, when he turned his head, he found that she had already closed her eyes and was resting against the car window. She truly made herself at home.
Sheng Jian sighed, reaching for a small white blanket from the back seat. He gently unfolded it, intending to drape it over her. But just as he approached Rong Qi and was about to cover her with the blanket, she abruptly opened her eyes. A chilling malevolence flickered in their depths.
He paused, then tried to soothe her. “It’s getting colder, and sleeping in a car could lead to catching a chill. The last thing I want is for Ye Nanshen to blame me for it. Here, it’s new.”
‘It was specially prepared for you.’ Sheng Jian left the last few words unspoken.
Rong Qi didn’t respond. She simply closed her eyes again, supporting her head with her hands.
The fluffy white blanket, adorned with a pink rabbit, was uncharacteristically girlish.
The formidable Sheng Jian didn’t expect that he would have such a day. He shook his head and unlocked his phone. On the screen, a woman clad in black, wielding nunchucks and sporting a black duckbill cap, graced the wallpaper.
The woman’s stunning figure, fair complexion, and half-concealed top-tier visage resembled someone Sheng Jian knew. His fingers tenderly caressed the screen, filled with both softness and sorrow..
