Chapter 2: No Way Out 2
"So, when will he be back?"
The guard looked embarrassed and answered sincerely: "We don't know about this either. The young masters are free to come and go. If it's not something very important, they won't tell us. Otherwise, Miss, please leave your contact information on the notepad. When Young Master Luo comes back, we will report to him in time."
don't want!
If I leave my name and phone number to Luo Zihan, he might tear up the notepad on the spot and be even more dismissive of me. I won't do such a stupid thing of "shooting oneself in the foot".
So I shook my head, smiled and said, "No need, I'd better go back first."
"Miss, please wait a moment!"
I was about to turn around and leave when the guard suddenly called me.
"Uh? Anything else?"
The guard still maintained a respectful attitude and suggested to me, "If you are willing, you'd better wait for Young Master Luo here. If Young Master Luo happens to come back during your absence, wouldn't you two miss the opportunity to meet?"
That's true. The guard was very thoughtful.
However, it seems that the two dedicated guards will not be more "kind" to let me wait inside the Platinum Hall, so I can only find a way myself.
"Well, thank you two brothers for the reminder."
I looked at them with a smile, then slowly turned around and looked around the Platinum Hall.
I want to find a place I like nearby as a temporary "habitat" and wait patiently for Young Master Luo who may return at any time!
Yao Qianqian, oh Yao Qianqian, how did you become so pitiful? Not only did you give up your proud self-esteem and come to apologize to Luo Zihan in person, but you also had to wait for him to come back under the scorching sun and without fear of hardship!
Oh God, I have never done anything bad since I was little and I have always been a good child. How can you bully me so cruelly?
I sat on the lawn outside the Platinum Hall, leaning against a tall sycamore tree, looking up at the sky and counting the white clouds. Occasionally, a few birds would fly across the sky, chirping non-stop, free and cheerful.
Time passes by every second.
I never knew that waiting for someone was such a long and tormenting process, especially when the other person was not the one I wanted to see! The almost crazy irritability was like a spark that kept spreading through my body.
Finally, when I was getting impatient and about to doze off, that tall and straight figure appeared.
Luo Zihan!
It’s really Luo Zihan!
The guy was wearing a snow-white school uniform, carrying a laptop, and walked over with a slightly tired look.
I was slightly surprised: Why are the school uniforms of the heirs of the "Four Major Families" so unique and completely different from those of other students in the school?
There are high school and university departments in Dijing College.
The three grades in the high school department can be distinguished at a glance due to the different colors of their uniforms. The first grade uniforms are bright yellow, showing youthful vitality; the second grade uniforms are refreshing lavender, representing tranquility and peace; the third grade uniforms are elegant dark red, symbolizing calmness and restraint.
But……
Luo Zihan's school uniform was clearly white, spotless, pure as snow, with golden buttons and cufflinks sparkling with a bright and dazzling luster.
I quickly stood up and ran towards him.
"Luo Zihan!"
He stopped and looked up at me. His cold, handsome and arrogant face was calm and indifferent, without any fluctuation.
In less than a second, he started walking again and walked past me as if no one was around.
what is this!
He actually ignored me without any care and treated a beautiful girl like me as transparent air!
"Luo Zihan!"
I couldn't help but raise my voice, a surge of anger surged from the bottom of my heart, I raised my hand and grabbed his school uniform forcefully.
He turned his head indifferently and asked coldly: "What do you want to do?"
"me……"
I thought I, Yao Qianqian, was a fearless girl, but when I saw his cold eyes, my tongue became tied and I stammered, unable to speak.
"Let go."
His voice was very soft, gentle, and quiet, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. However, the aura around him seemed to suddenly become lower and cold, with a bleak feeling like the autumn wind.
I let go of his clothes as if I had been electrocuted, and said awkwardly, "Oh, that... yes, I'm sorry."
Luo Zihan sighed softly, raised his hand to push up his glasses, and stared at me silently.
I couldn't understand the look in his eyes, let alone the calm expression on his face. I just felt even more embarrassed and my cheeks felt inexplicably hot.
"Why are you here? Are you here to cause trouble?"
"no!"
I immediately shook my head, hating his arrogant attitude that kept people at a distance.
"Tell me, what are you doing here?"
"Of course I came to see you!" I looked at him angrily, trying hard to control the urge to lose my temper, and muttered unwillingly, "Don't think I am willing to come here. You foolishly waited outside for so long, I am almost furious."
Suddenly, a low laugh passed by my ears.
I raised my head in disbelief, blinking my eyes and staring at Luo Zihan's slightly raised thin lips.
Although the crescent-shaped curve is very shallow, it is unexpectedly perfect, as if it carries some kind of intoxicating magic.
Yes, I saw clearly, he was smiling, he was really smiling! It was not a mocking and contemptuous smile, nor was it an indifferent and distant sneer, but... it was a smile as gentle as the spring breeze and drizzle.
I, am I not dazzled?
C Luo Zihan would actually smile like this!
"What do you want from me?"
"Huh?" I was stunned and stammered, "Well, I... I actually came to you..."
The crisp ringtone of the cell phone suddenly rang, startling me and I couldn't utter a word.
Who is it? Who is calling me at this hour?
"Feel sorry……"
I looked at Luo Zihan embarrassedly, turned around quickly, took a few steps back, and pressed the answer button on my phone.
"Hello!"
A gentle male voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of obvious affection: "Qianqian, do you miss me?"
I smiled helplessly and answered jokingly, "Well, I miss you, I miss you very much, I miss you especially. How about it? Are you satisfied now?"
“Not satisfied yet.”
"Min Hyuk, don't be too greedy. Greedy people will become bald." I joked and asked with concern, "Are you okay? Is everything going well? When will you be back?"
"What? Qianqian wants to see me?"
"No, I'm not." I deliberately denied it and said with a smile, "Brother Minhe, you want to see me, right? Let me tell you, if you don't appear in front of me more often, if I forget you, don't blame me!"
"Silly girl, I think about you every day, how could you hurt my heart like this?"
I know, I have always known, that Min Hyuk will always be thinking about me and missing me. We grew up together and have lived together for so many years, I believe no one knows me better than Min Hyuk.
In my heart, no one can replace Min Hyuk's important position.
"I miss you too, it's true."
"Lovely silly girl..." Min Hyuk was silent for a few seconds, and his gentle voice slowly floated into my ears and penetrated into my heart, "Be good and wait for me, I will be back home soon. In the next two days, the location shooting will be over, and I can't wait to fly back to you."
"Well, we have an appointment, you need to come back early."
After hanging up the phone, I stood there for a long time, my emotions still fluctuating.
A few months ago, Min Hyuk took on a new drama, and after filming began, he was so busy that he couldn't keep up. It seemed like we hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he didn't even... didn't even know that I came to study at Dijing College.
Oh my god! How could I forget to tell him on the phone?
When my mood had completely calmed down, I suddenly remembered Luo Zihan!
Oh no! I made Master Luo wait for so long, I wonder if he will get furious?
Uh, where are the people? Luo Zihan is missing!
I frowned in confusion, feeling a little dizzy: What's going on? There was no sign of Luo Zihan in front of me!
Why is he gone? Where did he go?
I quickly ran to the entrance of Platinum Hall and couldn't wait to ask the two guards for help.
"Excuse me, Luo Zihan..."
The guard nodded and said, "Miss, don't worry. Master Luo is back."
Worried? I'm not worried at all! I'm anxious, okay?
"Brothers, I'm going to look for Luo Zihan. I won't disturb you. I'll go in first."
"Miss!"
Huh? Why did the guard stop me again?
I was clearly talking to Luo Zihan before, which is enough to prove that I know Luo Zihan. In this case, isn't the guard's behavior at this moment too strange?
"I have something to talk to Luo Zihan about, really something!"
"I'm sorry, we can't let you in." The guard looked at me and said in a deep voice, "Master Luo ordered us not to let strangers disturb him."
I was stunned and suddenly confused.
"Two big brothers, what do you mean? I'm not a stranger, I know Luo Zihan!"
"But..." The guard hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Miss, please go back. Master Luo told us that he doesn't know you."
What?
Luo Zihan actually said that he didn't know me! That bad guy, how could he tell such a lie?
I am angry!
The little universe in my Yao Qianqian body exploded!
Luo Zihan, let's wait and see, I will definitely let you be my tutor! One day, I will be able to walk in and out of this platinum hall freely and openly!
For several days in a row, after school I would go straight to the Platinum Hall to wait for Luo Zihan.
Yes! I have not given up and I will never give up!
However, the result was far beyond my expectation: for a whole week, I did not see Luo Zihan again! The only lucky thing was that the two guards of the Platinum Hall were getting more and more familiar with me. Under my constant questioning, they explained the whole story to me with both sympathy and helplessness.
No wonder I couldn’t see Luo Zihan, because he never left the Platinum Hall these days!
All students at Dijing College knew that the heirs of the "Four Great Families" did not have to go to the public teaching building for classes. The classroom where the four young masters studied was on the second floor of the Platinum Hall, which was fully equipped with various teaching facilities, and there were special teachers to guide them every day.
Therefore, if the four young masters do not take the initiative to walk out of the Platinum Hall, it will be difficult for others to see them. In this way, the heirs of the "Four Great Families" who are high above are like canaries trapped in a cage, which seems quite pitiful.
Since I can't see Luo Zihan in the short term, I might as well take this opportunity to recuperate.
As the sky gradually darkened, I left Platinum Hall and returned to the student dormitory with mixed feelings. The moment I opened the door, I saw Sister Shang Mei's heroic figure doing a handstand again.
Now, I am no longer shocked by this, but instead have a greater appreciation and admiration for it.
"Sister Shang Mei, when did you return to school?"
A few days ago, Sister Shang Mei asked for leave and secretly went to attend an interview. It was said that it was the agent job she most yearned for. Even Luo Zihan didn't know about it. Of course, I would keep it a secret for Sister Shang Mei.
"Yeah, I just came back not long ago."
Sister Shang Mei climbed down the wall, walked in front of me, and stared at me meaningfully.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?" I raised my hand and touched my face, and asked with a smile, "Sister Shang Mei, you went to the interview against the school rules this time, how was the result?"
"I don't know." She tied her long hair with a headband and smiled faintly, "Qianqian, I didn't violate the school rules. As long as I pass the interview, I will voluntarily drop out of school, continue my studies, and work as an agent at the same time."
"Sister Shang Mei, do you want to be a manager so much?"
Sister Shang Mei nodded and answered firmly: "Well, yes."
Seeing her so persistent, a spark suddenly popped up in my mind: as a new generation idol star, Min Hyuk might be able to lend a helping hand to Sang Mi.
but……
Sister Shang Mei is the daughter of the wealthy Luo family. As long as she reveals her identity, it will be easy for her to own a professional agency, let alone an agent interview!
"Sister Shang Mei, why don't you use the power of your family..."
"Qianqian!" Sister Shang Mei interrupted me and shook her head gently. "I don't want to do that. I hope to pursue my ideals with my own strength and live the life I like. I have never done anything for the Luo family, and I don't want to rely on it selfishly. I am not as tough and strong as Zihan, who always silently carries the burden of the family. After all, I am a little woman, and I am afraid of the loneliness and helplessness of standing at the top. I am really ashamed of Zihan."
I lowered my eyes, stunned, thinking about something.
So, the genius boy Luo Zihan, the omnipotent Master Luo, is just a poor man who is bound by his family and has to endure loneliness alone?
no no!
My brain must have been contaminated by Martian poison gas, otherwise, how could I have such an unrealistic idea?
Why would the high and mighty Master Luo need the sympathy of a small person like me?
"Sister Shang Mei, can you help me?"
Sister C Shangmei stared at me and smiled, "Tell me, as long as it doesn't break the law or make mistakes, I will do my best."
"I want to see Luo Zihan."
I said this softly, stealing a glance at Sister Shang Mei's expression.
"Haha!" Sister Shang Mei laughed, raised her hand and patted my shoulder, and pouted as if she had succeeded, "Little girl, you finally admitted it? You and Zi Han must know each other, right?"
"Well, I guess so, but I..." I didn't know how to explain the strange and complicated relationship between Luo Zihan and me. "Sister Shang Mei, I've figured it out. Your suggestion is the most correct. I want to ask Luo Zihan to be my tutor to help me improve my academic performance. But he lives in the Platinum Hall, and I can't get in. I can't see him anyway! Sister Shang Mei, can you take me to the Platinum Hall?"
"no problem."
Sister Shang Mei agreed very readily.
I was so happy now, and asked happily, "Should I prepare some gifts for him?"
"A gift?" Sister Shang Mei lifted her chin and thought for a moment. "Zi Han rarely shows his true preferences. He is the best at putting up with himself. He can tolerate anything, including his girlfriend."
