Chapter 2008: Initiative
b.r.e.a.s.t.stroke champion?
It sounded good, especially for someone like her.
Tang Wu naturally would not embarra.s.s him. Her red lips curled into a smile. “It’s my honor. I’m Tang Wu.”
Xiang Yingjie raised his gla.s.s. “Are you friends with An Ni?”
She nodded.
“You look beautiful. You look like a celebrity.”
Tang Wu was tired of hearing praises for herself. Tang Wu naturally knew the purpose of Xiang Yingjie and her smile faded.
When Xiang Yingjie saw that Tang Wu was ignoring him, he did not leave but sat beside her, talking to her from time to time.
“Do you want to sing a song?”
Tang Wu shook her head. “I can’t sing.”
Xiang Yingjie found a few more topics to talk about, but Tang Wu did not seem interested.
Xiang Yingjie frowned slightly. In the swimming team, he did not have the best looks, but he was not bad either.
However, the woman beside him did not even spare him a glance after they got to know each other.
Tang Wu waited for half an hour. Seeing that Lan Yue had not arrived, she did not have the patience to wait any longer.
He was about to get up and tell An Ni to leave when the door was pushed open.
A man and woman walked in.
The man was the person Tang Wu had been waiting for, while the woman was the girl sitting behind her during the compet.i.tion that day.
They were wearing black leisure wear and looked like a couple.
Tang Wu stopped in her tracks.
The light in the room was dim and Lan Yue probably did not see Tang Wu. He greeted Dingyan with his junior and the two of them sat in the corner.
Tang Wu stared at them for a while and suddenly felt a little bored.
An Ni came over and squeezed Xiang Yingjie away. She came close to Tang Wu’s ear and said, “Brother Lan is here. Why don’t you go find him?”
Tang Wu raised her exquisite chin. “Who is that girl? Is she his new girlfriend?”
“That’s a junior from their team. I heard from Dingyan that she’s Brother Lan’s instructor’s daughter.”
Tang Wu nodded.
An Ni poked Tang Wu with her elbow. “Aren’t you going to greet her?”
“Isn’t it too obvious why I took the initiative to go over? He should have WeChat, right?”
“I’ll ask Dingyan immediately.”
An Ni ran to Dingyan and asked him to send Lan Yue’s WeChat profile before she sent it to Tang Wu.
After Tang Wu received it, she got up and left the room.
Seeing that Tang Wu was leaving, Xiang Yingjie hurriedly chased after her.
Lan Yue, who was in the corner, seemed to have noticed something and looked toward the door.
He did not see Tang Wu’s face clearly, only seeing a beautiful and ostentatious figure disappear from the door in high heels.
Not too long later, his phone rang.
Someone added his WeChat.
The WeChat profile photo was a pretty face that no one could forget.
…
Tang Wu rejected Xiang Yingjie’s offer and drove her sports car away.
After being rejected by a girl for the first time, he drank a lot of alcohol that night.
When he returned to the dormitory, he could not help but complain. “F*ck, it’s the first time I met such a hard woman. She looks like an elf and I thought she was a player, but she refused to even add me on WeChat.”
Lan Yue washed his face and went into the dormitory with a basin.
Xiang Yingjie burped and continued, “But I don’t believe that I can’t ask her out with my charm.”
The other two teammates in the dormitory agreed.
Lan Yue said nothing.
Lying on the bed, he took his phone and looked at the WeChat message to add him as a friend.
…
“It’s my first time taking the initiative to add someone on WeChat but he actually didn’t add me!” When Tang Wu met Bo Cixue, she could not help but complain. “Forget it. I’m not someone who pesters someone doesn’t like me!”
Tang Wu was only a little interested in Lan Yue, but since he did not like her, she did not need to force him.
The company had recently signed a new artiste and had a lot of work, so she did not have time to think about relations.h.i.+ps.
Tang Wu took a sip of juice and looked at Bo Cixue. “You’re going back to M University to attend the graduation ceremony next month. Do you plan to go in advance or go back when it’s time?”
Bo Cixue said, “Let’s go when it’s time. My vacation is limited.”
Tang Wu shrugged. “Okay, but I’m going over a week earlier to play for a few days.”
Bo Cixue nodded.
Just then, her phone rang.
Tang Wu saw that it was Bo Cixue’s and she raised her eyebrows. “Chief Cheng?”
Bo Cixue nodded and slid the screen to answer.
After the call, Tang Wu clicked her tongue. “Have you thought it through and decided to start afresh?”
“I’ve already thought it through. I just didn’t want to be in a relations.h.i.+p in the past.” Recently, everyone around Bo Cixue knew that Cheng Yan was wooing her. Every day, a bouquet of flowers would be sent to the research inst.i.tute. Even though she had rejected him on several dates, he would call and message her every day.
Cheng Yan was a gentle and patient person.
Bo Cixue did not want to close her heart and planned to give it a try with him.
Tang Wu patted Bo Cixue’s shoulder. “It’s fine to be in a relations.h.i.+p. Anyway, you’re still young. Just separate if you’re not suitable.”
They were in a new era now. they did not have to get married just because they were in love.
“Let’s get to know each other first. I don’t know if we’ll date!”
Bo Cixue did not want to be casual in relations.h.i.+ps. If she interacted with him a few times and their personalities were really suitable, she would consider being with him.
…
Bo Cixue agreed to have dinner with Cheng Yan tonight.
Cheng Yan did not order western food but chose a private restaurant that was more famous.
The private restaurant was decorated very warmly, making people feel at home when they went in.
The two of them sat by the window and Cheng Yan was gentlemanly and calm.
Bo Cixue had a good impression of Cheng Yan.
…
Tang Mo brought his female companion to eat at the private restaurant.
The moment he came in, he saw Bo Cixue and Cheng Yan by the window.
Tang Mo took his female companion and sat diagonally behind them. There was a fake tree between the seats and Bo Cixue could not see Tang Mo if she did not turn back.
Tang Mo took out his phone, took a photo of Bo Cixue and Cheng Yan chatting happily and sent it to Ye Jie’s WeChat.
Seeing that Tang Mo had not spoken to her since coming in, the female companion pouted unhappily. “Mo, why haven’t you been looking for me recently? I wanted to look for you that night, but you closed the door. You didn’t open the door when I pressed the doorbell.”
At the mention of that night, Tang Mo’s expression darkened.
“I’ll give you a cheque. After dinner, we’ll be strangers.”
The female companion widened her eyes. “Y-You want to break up with me?”
“You should know my principle. You’re not allowed to cry or make a scene when we break up. If not, you won’t be able to get a single cent.”
His female companion had good looks and figure. If it had not been for that night, he would not have broken off ties with her so quickly.
Ever since what happened that night, he hated all women now.
The female companion looked at Tang Mo’s dark expression and closed her mouth, not daring to say anything.
She had broken up with him without giving herself to him and it seemed like it was not a loss for her to get a breakup fee. She was from the model industry and naturally knew that wanting to marry into the elite Tang family was just a daydream.
It was better to get a breakup fee than nothing.
…
Before Bo Cixue returned for M University’s graduation ceremony, she had a meal with Cheng Yan and watched a concert.
She could not find any shortcomings in Cheng Yan. If she agreed to date him, she would definitely be doted on.
However, she was still too young and did not want such a calm relations.h.i.+p.
She no longer had her dreams and her heart skipped a beat. Her emotions fluctuated occasionally and she felt like she was electrocuted when her fingertips touched his.
Although it would hurt, she still wanted it to be pa.s.sionate and unforgettable!
Before Bo Cixue went to M University, she went to find her psychiatrist, Kevin.
The last time she saw Kevin, he had given her a psychological test and she had recovered well.
This time, Kevin chatted with Bo Cixue for a while and a chill ran up his spine.
This girl had not let go of that long relations.h.i.+p. The past few years were only self-hypnosis.
She kept that sentiment deep in her heart, like a vine that had grown into a tall tree.
Kevin looked at Bo Cixue and suddenly felt that he was a failure as a psychiatrist.
Bo Cixue saw Kevin’s expression and guessed his thoughts. She smiled. “It’s not completely ineffective. After I returned to the capital, I spent some time with him and my condition was quite stable. My mother installed surveillance cameras at home and she didn’t see me sleepwalking in the middle of the night.”
Kevin shrugged. “I heard from your mother that you’re dating Chief Cheng from the Royal Hospital.”
“I’m not dating him. I just want to get to know him. I’ve tried, but there’s no love.” Bo Cixue had already sent a message to Cheng Yan last night and they had communicated. They would only be ordinary friends in the future.
Perhaps Cheng Yan had also realized that it was hard for her to get into his heart. He would not force her after he had worked hard!
Kevin nodded. “Then let’s talk about you and the Crown Prince. What happened between you and him after you returned to the capital?”
Bo Cixue told him about staying up to fix the loophole in the procedures before he left and even fired Chu Li.
“He offered to try it on me, but because of a kiss, we almost fell out with each other. I can feel that it’s not because he doesn’t like me that he hates that kiss. He has a hidden illness in his heart.”
“Cixue, I think I know why you came to find me.” Kevin looked at Bo Cixue. “Do you want to find him?”
Bo Cixue pursed her lips and only spoke after a while. “Kevin, everyone knew that I liked him in the past, but I never really confessed to him or did anything for him. I used to think that as long as I learned how to be his Princess Consort and didn’t embarra.s.s him and the royal family, I would be doing enough.”
“But thinking carefully, what have I done for him? I didn’t even dare to show my real self to him in the past!”
“That day, he kissed me when he was drunk. I knew that he kept brus.h.i.+ng his teeth, not because he was disgusted, but I only cared about my feelings. I knew that he suddenly went to the west because I said that I wanted to be strangers and not meet him in the future.”
“After he left, I didn’t want to think about him and wanted to start a new life. But I found that I wasn’t happy without him.”
“Kevin, I really wanted to set him free and let him get to know new girls, but who asked him to flirt with me, give me hope, and make my heart flutter? I don’t want to end it like this. I want to find him. Even if we break up one day, at least I’ve worked hard, right?”
