The Past (I)

Mu Jinchen's eyes were fixed on Jing Wushuang. Initially frowning and a little annoyed, his body seemed to turn languid after seeing Jing Wushuang. A curious overtone was reflected in his eyes.

The moment when their eyes met, Jing Wushuang's heart palpitated. She subconsciously averted her gaze. Her scalp was still tingling. The man's aura was too strong and could easily affect a person's state of mind.

After Su Ran realized that there were only men in the room, she froze for a moment before she decided on a preemptive action. She simply shouted at Jun Xiang, "Mister Jun, are you gay? Did you ditch me for these guys? Don't beg me to accompany you for meals the next time. Hmph. Let's go, Shungshuang."

"Come back!" Jun Xiang immediately reacted when he saw Su Ran. With just a few strides, he pulled her into his arms.

"You b*stard!"

Su Ran caused Wushuang to regain her consciousness. When her eyes shifted to the other side, that figure that came into her view—

She never dreamt that she would see him again under such circumstances.

He still looked like a modest gentleman even after two years; he had always had this appearance. The perfect example that fitted the fantasies of a young girl's crush. The descendent of a literary family, he was highly-educated and possessed profound scholarly knowledge. He had a graceful demeanor, kind and gentle. Only she knew how cruel this man was.

That year, she even reset her breathing patterns for him…

That year, the cherry blossoms at B University bloomed extra brilliantly. It was her last semester at the university. He was her substitute teacher. He told her then, "Wushuang, you're my one and only1…"

That year... Too many things happened that year, but all she remembered was that she loved him, he loved her, and that they were together ...

It was the same year when they broke up.

In fact, the memories were not that vivid; even their embrace seemed half-hearted. It probably left a mark in their memories because it was the only thing that happened during that beautiful year. Maybe it was the betrayal. Perhaps betrayal was not even in the picture. It could be that there was no love from the start of it all. Why did this happen to her?

Tang Mubai did not expect to meet Jing Wushuang in this place either. The child-like innocence on her face had all but vanished in just two short years, and from thenceforth, a beauty emerged. She was a gentle girl to begin with, but now, her quiet temperament has grown all the more.

Wushuang. His one and only...

It could be because she had crumbled once this morning. It could be that she had prepared herself psychologically. Wushuang did not expect herself to be this calm if she ever met Tang Mubai again. Although it unraveled old feelings and she was not entirely at ease, she handled it skillfully. If it were not for Su Ran and 'that b*stard' acting up in front of her, she would have walked up and said, "It's been a while."

"Do you have a good explanation for why you're here?" interrogated Jun Xiang as he tried to suppress the girl between his arms. He was very familiar with how terrible this girl's temperament was.

"I'm here to accompany you for dinner, of course," said Su Ran with such confidence. She obviously would not say that she was here to catch a cheating b*stard.

"Dinner? Then why didn't you just come with me, huh?" Jun Xiang had a pair of elegant phoenix eyes that looked even more vibrant when coupled with his anger.

"I don't owe you an explanation. Let go of me, you b*stard. Help me, Shangshuang!"

Wushuang paid no attention to the teasing and bantering between the couple. Under Tang Mubai's high-pressured gaze, she held her breath and strode toward him. "It's been a while, Professor Tang."
