Chapter 145 - 146 Guessing (4)
Lou Xi and Bai Lu came down from the dormitory, preparing to attend their afternoon class.
As they reached the teaching building, Lou Xi saw a familiar figure.
She quickly hid behind Bai Lu, not wanting Rong Zhi to notice her.
But...
Such a large figure, it’s impossible not to be noticed.
Rong Zhi had already seen Lou Xi and noticed her hiding behind her friend. His heart felt like it was suddenly pricked by something, very painful.
"Don’t hide anymore, he’s already walking over," Bai Lu remembered this man; they had seen him in a fast-food restaurant before while Lou Xi was looking for a place, he was Lou Xi’s former neighbor.
Upon hearing Bai Lu’s words, Lou Xi resignedly stepped out from behind Bai Lu, looking at Bai Lu with grievance.
"You’ve got quite a few suitors recently! Having left that scumbag Zhou Zichen, you’re really on top of the world!"
Lou Xi: "..."
Before Rong Zhi walked over, Bai Lu stopped teasing Lou Xi, saying, "I’ll go up first to save us some seats, you two have a good talk."
They definitely needed to have a good talk.
Lou Xi’s emotions were very complex now. Maybe Bai Lu was right when she said that, because she knew nothing had happened between her and Qin Mobai, she felt there was a way out, so there was no need to spend her whole life on Qin Mobai.
So, was Rong Zhi her backup plan?
She had indeed heard Rong Zhi’s confessions to her before, both when sober and drunk.
A long time ago, Lou Xi also had feelings for Rong Zhi, she couldn’t ignore these feelings.
So when Rong Zhi walked over, her mood was particularly heavy.
"Thank you for sending me home yesterday," Rong Zhi, wearing a long black trench coat, looked even more tall and slender.
He was very handsome, different from Qin Mobai’s overt charisma, Rong Zhi had a gentle kind of handsomeness that made people feel very peaceful inside, like... a warm spring breeze.
The kind that could warm Lou Xi’s heart.
In the heart of every girl in their youth, there’s probably such a gentle man, making it impossible to resist and refuse.
"It’s nothing, I just happened to be free yesterday, so I went," Lou Xi said blandly, her gaze never daring to land on Rong Zhi’s face.
Recently, her relationship with Rong Zhi seemed to have gotten a bit closer, but Lou Xi didn’t feel any joy from this closeness, more so, it was worry and tension.
"Hmm, I came to find you today because I wanted to tell you that my company just got a new cooperation deal, I’ll need to go north for a long time, I won’t be staying in Nancheng." Rong Zhi’s voice carried a hint of fatigue.
"Hmm?" Lou Xi looked up, somewhat surprised.
Rong Zhi is leaving?
"There’s been a bit of an issue with the company, but we got a collaboration. If this deal progresses smoothly, the company will get back on track." More than this, Rong Zhi didn’t tell Lou Xi.
If the cooperation goes well, by then his worth will increase significantly, and with money and power, he could give Lou Xi a better life.
But now, everything was uncertain, he didn’t want Lou Xi to suffer with him.
"Would you be willing to wait for me to come back? It won’t be too long, at most two years, by then you’ll have just graduated a year from college." Rong Zhi said in a deep voice.
Lou Xi froze in place, it took her several seconds to understand that Rong Zhi was asking her to wait for him to come back, and then be together!
"Rong... Brother Rong... I seem to have forgotten to tell you... I have a boyfriend."
