Chapter 47: Our Promise (2 of 2) + mini side story

The sky is already fully lit when Jin Xi wakes up.

The bright sun shines through the windshield.  There are constantly people passing by in the front.

She blinks and keeps still for a moment.

She shifts her gaze and sees that she is still sitting on Han Chen’s lap.  And his hands are on her waist.

They actually slept like this for the whole night.

Jin Xi’s face flushes immediately.

They were too impulsive last night.  Her mind is in a mess right now, but there’s one thing that she is certain about——

She must leave immediately.

She lifts her head slowly and sees Han Chen’s chest moving up and down steadily and his eyes are closed.

Jin Xi is stunned slightly.

His face is especially handsome and refined in the morning sun.  The shirt collar accents his straight and long neck.

Jin Xi falls into a daze staring at him.  After a moment, she uses the car door for support and attempts to get off of him lightly.  But the instant she moves, she feels the hand on her waist grab her. Read more

Chapter 47: Our Promise (1 of 2)

Lanzhou, Gansu Province.

The mountain range is at a distance.  The extensive city landscape stretches out from the edge of the Yangtze river; its prosperity carries a sense of age from vicissitude.

Han Chen is at a coffee shop at the end of a street, which is where he is meeting Zhao Zi Xu.

Just like in the photo of class 56, Zhao Zi Xu is a tall and handsome man.  His facial features are symmetrical.  He is wearing a simple shirt and long pants.  He looks at Han Chen and reveals a peaceful smile, “Hello.  You are a colleague of Xiao Xi?”

Han Chen nods, “Do you mind if I smoke?”

“Not at all.  I smoke as well.”

Han Chen lights up a cigarette and hands one to Zhao Zi Xu.  They start smoking quietly for a moment without knowing what to say. Read more

Chapter 46: The Blurry You (2 of 2)

It’s the first time that Cold Face feels Han Chen’s phone call request is a challenge.

Somebody’s background, education, and other information can be easily found out.  But how can he look for somebody’s “ex-boyfriend”?

And Cold Face is someone who likes to take action.  After thinking about it for a long while, he calls a cab and decides to go to the hospital directly.

In the patient’s room, Bai Jin Xi is chatting with Xu Si Bai while Xiao Zhuan is peeling an apple on the side.

It’s been a few days since they last met, so Bai Jin Xi takes her time to ask, “Why did you disappear?  Were you teasing me?”

Xu Si Bai is wearing a light brown jacket accompanied by a white shirt, making him look tall and clean.  He pours the chicken soup out from a thermos and into a small bowl and then places it in front of her. Read more

Chapter 46: The Blurry You (1 of 2)

October in a Southern county is already filled with the chilly breezes of autumn.  The long street beside the river has a row of new and old housing.  Cars and pedestrians come and go.

Han Chen parks his car on the side of the street and looks up.

17 Fuyang Lang, Hongshan County.

The place where Bai Jin Xi lived in when she was little.

It’s a three story newly built western style home.  There’s even a small shop in the front.  Han Chen buys a pack of cigarette and starts a conversation with the boss lady, “I want to find out about a person.  I have a friend named Bai Jin Xi.  Did she live here before?”

The boss lady is a forty or so year old kind woman.  She shakes her head, “Nope.  Never heard of her.” Read more
