Lu Xun stood in front of the French window with the phone in his hand. He was away from the office and had let Special Assistant Bei Yuan handle everything in the office.
After he spoke a few words with his assistant, Lu Xun turned around and headed back towards the coffee house where his friend was waiting for him. However, his movement halted the moment his eyes caught the sight of someone familiar.
It was only yesterday that he had seen her. Lu Xun was not expecting that he would run into Song Xing Xing at this hotel. If he did not see that the girl was with her friends, he might have thought that Song Xing Xing was trailing after him.
His eyes narrowed and Lu Xun pushed the spectacle on the bridge of his news with a finger. He watched as Song Xing Xing walked into a private room with a few of her friends.
He thought about the last time he had met her at Grandfather Song's birthday banquet and the way she had looked at him.
After he had returned to the country, Lu Xun was no longer a stranger towards the way Song Xing Xing had look at him. He was not that stupid. Even if he did not know how serious that girl was at this time, he was sure that the girl was looking at him with that infatuated look.
Even if he had noticed them, Lu Xun decided that it would be better if he pretended that he knew nothing about it.
At this time, he was not interested in being in a relationship. Moreover, Song Xing Xing was still young. It would not do her any good if she was involved with someone like him.
Lu Xun paused as he recalled the time he would run into her. His lips subconsciously curled into a smile as he thought about the silly girl. It seemed that each time he saw her, Song Xing Xing would show him an interesting side of her.
He immediately retracted his gaze and went back towards the restaurant. He found his friend, Zhang Yu Han, and sat down across him.
"Sorry."
"It's fine." Zhang Yu Han reached his glass and took a sip to moisten his throat. "When will you be leaving for Capital City?"
"My flight is two hours before midnight," Lu Xun said.
"Do you need me to send you to the airport?"
Lu Xun waved his hand. "It's fine. Go and accompany your wife and kids. Li Xue would make trouble if you leave her for too long."
Zhang Yu Han merely smiled as he thought about his daughter. "Speaking about Capital City, I heard from our classmates that Miss Shi An Na is planning to move to Capital City. Lu Xun, you should know well why she wanted to move there."
Lu Xun's face turned a shade darker. "Don't mention that person's name again. She can move anywhere that she wanted to." He already decided that he won't care about that person again.
"Don't misunderstand. I am only giving you a heads up," Zhang Yu Han said. "I thought that you might want to make some preparation before you run into her."
Lu Xun glanced at his friend and knew that Zhang Yu Han only wanted to make trouble. His eyes narrowed as he thought about Zhang Yu Han's reminder. As he thought about that person again, Lu Xun felt a little uncomfortable.
His story with Shi An Na had ended years ago. Back then, it was her who had insisted to leave. Why would she want to pester him now? When he thought about what she had done before, Lu Xun was furious. He might have forgiven her, but he could not forget what she had done.
The two friends continued to chat for a while longer before Zhang Yu Han excused himself.
After he had sent Zhang Yu Han off, Lu Xun walked into the lobby, intending to return to his room. His steps halted when he saw the person who came out of the elevator.
Their gaze met. Seeing that she had noticed his presence, Lu Xun raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrow. It looked like he would not be able to pretend that he did not see her either.
Song Xing Xing's eyes brightened when she saw Lu Xun. It was a coincidence for them to meet again. Initially, she wanted to go forward and spoke to him. However, seeing that he had avoided her gaze, Song Xing Xing began to hesitate.
It felt as if something heavy was pressing at her heart. The feeling was too uncomfortable and suffocating.
Song Xing Xing thought that liking someone was very tiring. Just the sight of his silhouette would make her very happy, but when he had ignored her, it only made her sad.
She liked him and was expecting that he would reciprocate her feelings. But feelings were not something that she can force.
At this time, she hasn't made her move to pursue him, but she was already rejected. This thought made her a little sad.
Although she liked this man very much, as the young miss of the Song family, Song Xing Xing had her own pride.
Since he wanted to pretend that he did not see her, Song Xing Xing was not shameless enough to pretend that she did not see the look on his face.
Moreover, she was with her friends. If she greeted him and he wanted to pretend that she was a stranger, that would surely embarrass her.
She quickly retracted her gaze. Song Xing Xing turned to her friend and pretended that she was listening to her words.
The group continued chated as they walked towards the entrance. Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps coming from behind them.
"Sister, Xing Xing, wait for me."
Hearing her name, Song Xing Xing turned around and saw that Qiu Yang was walking over.
Qiu Yang's gaze finally stopped at Song Xing Xing. "Are you heading home? How about I give you a lift?"
Song Xing Xing thought for a while and agreed.
Meanwhile, Lu Xun was watching everything from a distance. Seeing that the girl had lowered her head and was no longer looking at him, Lu Xun was a little dumbfounded.
He had prepared himself to exchange a few words with her, but Song Xing Xing had walked away without looking at him.
Did she really did not see him, or was she was pretending?
This girl, just what was she trying to do?
