"Well, can't even speak when you see a beautiful woman?"
Seeing the astonishment in everyone's eyes, Xiaomi also felt a sense of pride. 。But she also didn't ignore the discomfort on Cheng Kexin's face because she was being watched by everyone, so she hurriedly laughed and diverted everyone's attention. 。Everyone snapped out of their daze upon hearing Xiaomi's voice, and they all laughed as they approached Cheng KeXin to greet her. 。Su Kexin, it's been so long! You've really blossomed into a beautiful woman now. 。"Yeah, you really took me aback just now. I almost didn't recognize you! Looks like the saying "girls change a lot after they turn 18" is true." 。"Kexin, I heard that you are now the young mistress of Cheng's Group, congratulations! I hope we can help each other more in the future. " 。"Of course, Ke Xin would never forget old friends!"Ke Xin now had a few more polished edges than before, so she handled the situation with ease. For a moment, everyone was even more impressed by this classmate they hadn't seen in years. 。But some female students looked down on Cheng Kexin, whispering with disdain in the corner: "It's just luck, a sparrow flying onto a branch to become a phoenix. What's there to be proud of?""That's right, she clearly dressed up deliberately. What kind of big shot is she trying to be in front of old classmates? Who doesn't know about those things she did before?" 。Someone softly murmured in agreement. 。Although there were some discordant sounds, the room was still filled with a lively and festive atmosphere. Cheng Keixin behaved gracefully and appropriately. 。But at this time the appearance of one person made her heart a little confused. 。"Hey, senior! I never expected you to come here either. It's been so long!" Cheng KeXin looked up and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face, momentarily stunned. 。Since returning home, this was her first time seeing Gu Yichen. Her mood suddenly became rather complicated. 。His eyebrows and eyes are still familiar, but he gives off a more mature vibe than five years ago. 。A bespoke navy blue suit accentuated his already tall frame, making him appear even more imposing. There was an undefinable aura about him that added a certain air of pressure when you looked at him. 。The moment Cheng Ke Xin saw Gu Yichan, she felt as if all those past memories surged towards her like a tidal wave. And as his features gradually became clearer, they began to flake away like peeling wall plaster. 。She seemed to see herself from college and five years ago smiling at her current self, the two of them in their simplest and most beautiful relationship. 。
But then she thought of the difficulties Gu Yichan would face later. 。But all of that, with Lin Xiaoru's death, seemed to vanish into thin air. 。Is this the magic of time? It preserves everyone's original appearance while deeply changing each person. Gu Yichen is like this, and so am I. 。Now, thinking back on all that has passed, she can smile and face it. 。The moment Gu Yichen came in, he saw Cheng Kexin. His eyes flashed with the same astonishment as everyone else just now, then a heart-wrenching longing. 。How many times had he woken from his dreams only to find darkness before him? Her image still lingered in his mind, the her of his student days, the her of her working years, each one vivid. 。
But consciousness clearly told him that she was no longer by his side. 。
She, does not belong to herself. 。To see is already a luxury, to touch... that's surely just wishful thinking. 。Five years had passed, after so long a time, she finally stood before him once again, alive and real. No longer a phantom, no longer would she vanish. 。As I took a step forward, intending to approach Cheng Kexin directly, Gu Yichan felt his heart pounding uncontrollably. Was it also excited by her reunion with him just as he was? But at this moment, classmates surged forward, blocking his view of Cheng Kexin. 。Due to social obligations, he could only offer polite greetings and pleasantries one by one. 。Gu Yichen didn't even know what he was saying. He felt like his body and soul were separated at this moment. 。The body here was saying things that were already old hat, but the soul had long since walked to Cheng Keixin's face, greedily gazing at this person he yearned for day and night yet could not have. 。
