As night fell, Lu Xiao had no idea where he had gone. He had just returned to the dormitory after finishing his weekend classes when he received a call from Xue Sheng.
"Are you ready?" Xue Sheng's smiling voice sounded on the phone, like a breath of warm air lingering in his ears.
I have to say, Xue Sheng's voice is really nice. Even though Weekend has no feelings for him, she couldn't help blushing because of her voice control: "Well, send me the address..."
"My car is right outside the dormitory. You can see it when you go downstairs." Xue Sheng interrupted Weekend very quickly. In the gap between the girls' silence, the man chuckled and said, "It doesn't make sense to invite someone to dinner without even having a special car, right?"
"Okay..." Weekend couldn't refute and had to agree.
In the evening, the breath of late autumn seemed to still linger in the air. When she went downstairs on weekend, she saw some girls gathered at the dormitory door and pointed and talked. When she finally walked to the door, she saw Xue Sheng in a fine suit. The man was tall and straight, and the light-colored jacquard jacket outlined his good figure very well. The fine-textured narrow-legged jeans and black leather driving shoes made him look both noble and fashionable. With the dark black Maybach behind him, he looked like an urban upstart.
Weekend couldn't help but look down at her outfit. Because she didn't have any expectations, she didn't even put on makeup. She just wore a simple long skirt and a coat and went downstairs. She still had a pair of washed canvas shoes on her feet. At this time, facing Xue Sheng, she couldn't help but curl up her toes in embarrassment.
"Why did it take so long?" When Xue Sheng saw Weekend, he took a step forward and came up to her, lowering his head and asking in a gentle voice.
The man's action immediately attracted a lot of discussion from all around. Weekend felt the curious looks from all around and suddenly felt uneasy: "No... just... walking slowly."
"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows and then chuckled. His meaningful look seemed to burn two holes in Weekend's face.
It was so passionate. Being looked at with such devoted eyes by such a handsome man, the girls around looked at Weekend with even more interest.
Weekend's ears turned red. She felt that the inquiring eyes around her were too eye-catching, and she also felt that Xue Sheng was too ostentatious. Finally, she looked up and said, "When are we leaving?"
Xue Sheng looked at her. The girl had a pretty face. Facing the street light, her thin pink lips were slightly pouted. She glared at him with a look of resentment and anger, which actually gave off a different kind of charm.
Somehow, Xue Sheng had some different thoughts in his mind. His eyes softened, and his tone was like coaxing a child: "Let's go now, get in the car, I'll take you there."
Weekend naturally didn't notice these changes in Xue Sheng. She was eager to escape from here. With a slight anger on her face, Weekend got into the Maybach in a few steps. Seeing her fleeing posture, Xue Sheng couldn't help but smile and got into the car immediately.
As soon as the man came in, the car was filled with a light scent of cologne. Weekend moved a little closer to the window. Seeing her like this, Xue Sheng did not stop her. He just smiled gently, then started the car, and soon they left the school.
"I don't know how people will spread it..." Weekend couldn't help but mutter in a low voice. The sound insulation effect of Maybach is very good, so even the smallest sound can be heard in this quiet car.
Weekend was surprised that she could still make such a loud voice even though she spoke so softly. She couldn't help but look up in horror, and then she saw Xue Sheng's smiling eyes.
"Having a luxury car and a handsome man pick you up, isn't that enough for you to show off? Why are you worried about what people will say about you?" Xue Sheng asked with a raised eyebrow.
This really fits his overbearing CEO's way of thinking. Weekend secretly complained to herself and wrinkled her nose: "Because I don't like it."
"Huh?" Xue Sheng was puzzled.
Weekend glanced at Xue Sheng and said, "I don't like being at the center of rumors."
She has always been a low-key person, whether doing radio dramas or choosing broadcasting as her major, it is because she does not need to be in the spotlight. She is not a vain girl, and she did not grow up in the spotlight. For the weekend, being able to do a job she likes, study a major she likes, and be with everything she likes, and having such a little peace is enough.
She has never pursued much and she is not a greedy girl. So, before because of Wusheng and later because of Xue Sheng, these two people always put her in the spotlight without asking her opinion, just like today, Xue Sheng drove such a nice car to pick her up from school without caring about anything, which she hated the most. She would rather Xue Sheng send her an address and let her take the bus, then the subway and then the bus again, than like such high-profile publicity.
"Everyone will just think that I'm hooking up with you, not that I'm that great." Weekend turned to look out the window and said calmly, "Luckily no one in the group today knew me, otherwise I don't know how the story would spread."
Xue Sheng fell silent after hearing that. Having nothing to say, he concentrated on driving. After talking about the weekend, he did not speak again. The car was extremely silent for a while.
"I just..." After a long while, Xue Sheng's deliberate voice sounded. He looked at Zhou Mo and said hesitantly, "I thought you would like this. After all..."
"It's nothing." Weekend interrupted Xue Sheng's words, and she rarely spoke righteously, "I am who I am, not who you think I am."
Xue Sheng was silent again. The Maybach sped along the road, and the surrounding scenery quickly receded. He suddenly remembered that several years ago, there was also a girl who said to him, "I want to marry the most handsome man in the world, have the best wedding in the world, wear a diamond ring as big as a pigeon egg, and live the most enviable life."
He once thought that this was what all girls in the world wanted. After all, which girl is not vain? But on weekends, it seems that she really doesn't like this. The two arrived at the luxury cruise ship he had booked long ago. Seeing the calm and even slightly disgusted expression on the girl's face, Xue Sheng actually felt a little uneasy.
Xue Sheng chartered this cruise ship. When night fell, the cruise ship docked at the pier. The neon lights were flashing, and the coast with the cool night breeze created a bit of romance.
Weekend looked at the waiters standing on both sides of the cruise ship in formal attire, then looked back at Xue Sheng beside her, who was just as exquisitely carved and beautiful. She looked down at herself and felt that she was a bit like Cinderella who had strayed into the palace. However, Cinderella was one of Weekend's least favorite fairy tales. So when Xue Sheng confessed to her again at the table, Weekend heard her own cold voice.
"I'm sorry, I really can't accept your feelings." Weekend felt guilty, but her words didn't give the other party any room. "Mr. Xue, you have always been a master in my heart. I never thought that anything would happen between you and me. You confessed to me online before. To be honest, I was very surprised. I also thought that maybe the last time met made you feel that we were very destined to be together or something, but..." Weekend looked straight at Xue Sheng, her black and white eyes were extremely clear, "I already have someone I like," she thought of Han Shao, "Although I'm not sure if that person still likes me, but... I've been moved. I think, since I have someone in my heart, I must make things clear to you. I don't like ambiguous feelings."
After Weekend finished speaking, she stared at the man in front of her motionlessly, her eyes were extremely frank and sincere. Xue Sheng was speechless for a long time, it was strange, as if he had expected such an outcome, but the reluctance and helplessness in his heart gradually spread throughout his body.
A long time ago, there was also a girl who said to him righteously: "The person I like is not you, don't waste your time."
The person in his memory and the girl in front of him gradually overlapped. Xue Sheng's delicate eyebrows suddenly moved, and a sarcastic .
"It's really embarrassing..." The man touched his nose with a bitter smile, "I've made so much effort, but I still can't impress you."
Weekend's ears felt hot after hearing what he said. She really looked like a heartless woman now: "You...you don't have to be too sad..." Weekend comforted him, "We are still friends..."
"You should have heard about what happened between me and Han Shao?" Unexpectedly, Xue Sheng suddenly changed the subject and talked about the past.
Weekend looked up and said curiously: "Yes, I have heard of it..."
Xue Sheng folded his hands to support his chin. He had a pair of extremely charming eyes with upturned corners. When he looked at you, there was a bit more affection for no reason. Weekend was looked at like this by him and felt a little bit at a loss for a moment.
Xue Sheng smiled: "Lin Jinyu rejected me in the same way back then."
Weekend surprise. But Xue Sheng didn't care. He smiled and said, "Han Shao, Lin Jinyu and I are good friends. At that time, I had a crush on Jinyu and thought I could win her heart with my own efforts. But I didn't expect that she would choose to be with Han Shao." The sea breeze blew gently, and Xue Sheng looked away. "I still remember... Han Shao was a perfect lover. Jinyu didn't like to get up early, so he bought breakfast every day and waited downstairs of the girls' dormitory. No matter how far away, no matter how excessive Jinyu's request was the day before, the next day, Jinyu could always eat the freshest breakfast."
Weekend thought about the last time Han Shao brought her breakfast. It turned out that he was always like this to others... Somehow, Weekend felt a little depressed.
"Jinyu is a model and often has to diet to lose weight. She is so busy that she can't take care of herself. Han Shao reminds her about her meals three times a day and even enrolls her in a cooking school so that Jinyu can eat well."
Xue Sheng said this and slowly turned his eyes to look at Weekend. The girl had long black hair draped over her shoulders and was dressed simply but elegantly. As she listened to him talking about Han Shao's past, her white fingers gradually clenched and her back straightened little by little.
Xue Sheng suddenly smiled and sighed, "Although Han Shao and I broke up because of Lin Jinyu, to be honest, I still admire him very much. Han Shao's feelings for Jinyu... are really deep."
With a "snap" sound, Weekend, who was sitting opposite, broke the French fries in his hand.
The smile on Xue Sheng's face was too obvious, so Weekend had to cover it up in a panic, "It's all in the past. Didn't they break up? And..."
"Lin Jinyu is back, did you know?" Xue Sheng suddenly said.
“……” Weekend looked at him blankly.
The man was like a cat that was tired of playing with the mouse: "Although it was Jin Yu who broke up with me, their feelings are still there after all. Now that Jin Yu is back, it is not impossible for their old feelings to rekindle..."
"I gotta go."
Before Xue Sheng could finish his words, Weekend suddenly stood up from his seat.
"What..." Xue Sheng was stunned for a moment, then he immediately stood up and said, "I'll take you there."
"No need." Weekend took a step back, and suddenly twisted his head in resistance like a little beast.
"..." Xue Sheng didn't know what to do.
"I'll go back by myself, you don't have to see me off," Weekend raised his head, looked at Xue Sheng and said word by word, "Thank you for dinner tonight, I'm leaving first." After saying that, without waiting for Xue Sheng's reaction, Weekend quickly turned around and left.
From the beginning to the end, Xue Sheng never told Weekend that the person she liked was Han Shao. He only wanted to stimulate Weekend by talking about the past events, but he didn't expect that she would take the bait.
The sea breeze blew over, and looking at the table full of delicious food, Xue Sheng, who had previously seemed to have satisfied his evil taste, suddenly lost his appetite. He took out his phone and found Lin Jinyu's WeChat, which contained a photo and a line of text sent by the girl -
"I'm back."
When she came back, Xue Sheng stood up, walked to the railing of the deck and looked out to the sea.
He lost to Lin Jinyu back then, but now, he will not lose to Weekend again.
