Ch.265 The Secret (2)

As for love, she didn’t really care. As long as nothing happens.

Maybe a day in the future, he’d appear in her dreams again.

But she thought that as time passed by, Chen Junxing would completely disappear from her memory one day.

One day, she would be able to control her emotions and stop thinking of him. She would stop recalling his appearance.

Time will put an end to everything.

But, why? After all these years, she was still able to bump into him without warning.

That girl that was co-renting with Yin Liuyue was Zhou Lian. They were the same age. After Zhou Lian graduated, she became a singer at a bar. She practically lived the opposite life as Yin

Liuyue.

Therefore, the two didn’t get many chances to chat with each other.

Yin Liuyue hurried out of the house in the morning. By the time she returned to her apartment around 6pm, she noticed that she had placed the key in her overcoat she wore yesterday. Even more, she hung the overcoat on the clothes hanger in her room.

She couldn’t get in. Yin Liuyue had no choice but to call Zhou Lian.

Zhou Lian picked up quickly, but it was quite noisy on the other side. It felt like she was at a KTV.

Yin Liuyue explained the situation to her, then Zhou Lian said, “I can’t leave right now. If you want to grab the key, come here.” After that, she sent her the specific address and the room number.

Yin Liuyue walked to the private room, hesitant. She wondered if she should knock on the door when she encountered the other young men planning on entering the private room.

One of the men inquired.

She said that she was looking for Zhou Lian.

“Oh, you’re looking for Zhou Lian? She’s inside busy rolling dice with someone. Come in.”

Yin Liuyue originally wanted to ask him to call Zhou Lian. Who knew that the door opened and she was pushed in.

She stood by the door and glanced at the messy private room. Men and women grouped together. They were either drinking, chatting, eating, rolling dice, or singing…

Yet, under the rainbow-colored rotating disco, she clearly saw the man sitting in the center of the long sofa wearing a black woolen sweater. He kept his head down as he looked at his phone.

The rotating lights just passed by and the light shone on his face. He slightly tilted his head to avoid the light.

Yet, Yin Liuyue stared at him, forgetting her expression. However, she couldn’t help but repeat his name over and over. “Chen Junxing…Chen Junxing…”

“Zhou Lian, there’s a beautiful woman looking for you!” The man by her shouted. He turned around to see Yin Liuyue standing there, stunned. She was staring in the direction of Chen Junxing, concentrated.

“Hey, beautiful woman. Don’t just look at that handsome guy! Aren’t you looking for Zhou Lian?”

Zhou Lian lost, so her classmates had been trying to get her to drink. She looked up at Yin Liuyue, unable to leave. Therefore, at the top of her lungs, “Liuyue, I left the keys in the pocket of my jacket. It’s the red overcoat by the door. Grab it yourself.”

Yin Liuyue was unable to withdraw his gaze from Chen Junxing. She only knew that the man by his side said something in his ears before he looked up at her.

However, Yin Liuyue had already turned her head, feeling guilty.

She hurriedly found Zhou Lian’s overcoat. As expected, there was a string of keys.

She told Zhou Lian that she was leaving now, and she didn’t urge her to stay either.

Yin Liuyue thanked the man. Before leaving, she slightly tilted her head to glance at the center. Chen Junxing still had his head down, looking at his phone as if he didn’t place anything in his heart.

After Yin Liuyue closed the doors, her heart felt heavy.

She was able to see Chen Junxing again. Was this fate’s blessing?

“Hey, Chen Junxing, do you know that beautiful woman?”

Chen Junxing unhappily responded, “Which beautiful woman?” after he got interrupted while playing a game.

“The beautiful woman that came to look for Zhou Lian! I saw you staring at her for a long time as if you had seen your old lover.”

Who knew Chen Junxing asked, “Who is Zhou Lian?”

Zhou Lian’s smile froze, looking at him.

However, Chen Junxing didn’t seem to detect it. He stood up and said, “I’m heading out for a moment.”
