Seeing that he finally found an opportunity to talk to Bao Nan, Gu Qize eagerly rushed to his side, shouting.
"Second brother, I’m not bragging, but with my rich emotional history, I can definitely help you win over your second sister-in-law. First, listen to my analysis..."
Upon hearing this, Bao Nan slightly turned his head, and upon closer look, there was unexpectedly a hint of sparkle in his otherwise calm eyes.
It’s been nine years, he just wants to be one step closer to her.
Not too much.
Just one step...
Looking at the two strategizing on the balcony, Si Yuan Yang sighed, putting his wine glass on the table with a worried expression, beginning to ponder.
The two legendary figures of Hengchuan Middle School back then, both geniuses in science and liberal arts.
One was the aloof male deity from Class Three, Bao Nan.
The other was the Class Eight’s wild rose, Jiang Tong.
They were at the same level, yet two extremes.
Especially Jiang Tong, her fame at Hengchuan was undeniable.
She appeared on both the red list and the black list.
Every week’s school disciplinary report would inevitably have her name.
Confident enough to pluck hair off the principal’s bald head.
Skipping classes with her classmates to play games in the boys’ bathroom.
The only girl on Hengchuan Middle School’s basketball team, founder of the Haolan Debate Club.
Record holder for the Beijing high school girl’s 800 meters, at 2:10.
All-round sports goddess, every day a crowd of young admirers would watch her play ball.
Jiang Tong’s resume at Hengchuan is countless over days and nights.
The number of love letters and gifts she received daily was countless, who knows, maybe Bao Nan was among them.
Yet, even though she was notorious throughout high school, she was still the beloved of every teacher.
Mainly because her grades were too good.
Every exam she and Bao Nan dominated the rankings.
Unfortunately, such a talent did not enter the top-ranked Beijing University.
Instead, she went to the unranked Hua Country People’s University.
Even more unexpectedly, the cold male deity of Hengchuan Middle School actually fell for this wild rose.
With a smile in his eyes, Si Yuan Yang thought to himself, no wonder back then.
Bao Nan, usually elusive, uncharacteristically stayed at Hengchuan for a year in his sophomore year.
Until the day he and Bao Nan encountered Jiang Tong at the entrance of a bar.
He then realized, their Young Master Bo.
Tumbled.
His glass of red wine was filled again, Si Yuan Yang shook his glass and lightly sighed.
Over on the balcony, Bao Nan was rarely interested in listening to Gu Qize talk.
Soon after, the door of the private room was gently pushed open.
Dressed in a woolen coat, Jiang Huai Bei walked in, his distinguished face carrying a hint of fatigue, not even having changed to clothes suitable for this season, suggesting he had just arrived from the airport.
"Third brother! You’re back!"
Seeing the person at the door, Gu Qize’s eyes lit up, almost hurling himself over.
"Fourth brother, why are you still so reckless?"
Jiang Huai Bei softly laughed, exuding an elegant aura, giving off a warm spring breeze impression.
"Back?"
Bao Nan glanced at him sideways, a faint smile also appeared on his cold face.
The four of them grew up together, with him having the closest relationship with Jiang Beihai.
"Second brother."
Jiang Huai Bei smiled and nodded at him, taking off his woolen coat and draping it over his arm.
Hua Country’s June is not like D Country, it’s very hot, walking a few steps makes you sweat, especially wearing a high-neck sweater.
"Beibei, are you leaving again after this return?" Si Yuan Yang on the sofa swirled his glass, curiously inquiring.
