45 (continued)

  Bei Zi is a very humorous person, always making everyone laugh out loud. Whenever he tells a joke, he would subconsciously look at Zhu Yan, and if Zhu Yan smiles, he would feel very happy and blissful.

  Shen Diao also noticed, and let out a slight sigh beside me. I know he's uncomfortable inside, although he usually has people fawning all over him, in reality he's extremely distant from others. Friends like Bei Zi who have a strong bond with him are probably few and far between. The friendship between men may not be as intense as the relationships women display, but it's still an emotion nonetheless.

  After dinner, Beizi took his girlfriend and left. At the door, Shen Zhuang watched their silhouettes disappear into the night, feeling a little lost: "In the past when we played together, he never liked to walk. He often bullied others to carry him on their backs, and even claimed that being able to carry Beile Ye was their good fortune."

  I don't know how to continue, after all, it's still quite heartbreaking to say such things.

  "Look at him now, he doesn't even have half of the demeanor of the Beile Master from back then."

  It's rare to see him like this, I hold his hand, don't know what to say.

  "Let's go."

  "Shall we head back?"

  He looked at me: "What else can I do? I didn't drive here."

  I was slightly surprised by what he said. Gongzi and Beile are about the same, they can drive but absolutely won't walk, with a whole body of wealthy ailments.

  "Do you remember what you said?"

  What did I say?

  I really can't remember...

  He looked at me with a puzzled expression, stretched out his hand and knocked on my head: "I remember what you said more clearly than you do."

  "What did I just say?"

  I don't remember saying anything about not letting him drive.

  "You told me not to show off, to be low-key in my dealings with others. You said it's better that way so people won't stab me in the back." He recited it like a scripture "Don't flirt with girls, spend more time studying. These are all things you've said, don't you remember?"

  Okay... I reluctantly admit that I have said such words before.

  "But you..." I looked him up and down "Can this luxurious attire of yours withstand walking every day?"

  He gave me a sidelong glance, as if asking who allowed you to say such things. I inexplicably felt guilty and didn't dare speak again.

  Shen Duan smiled and held my hand: "Actually walking is pretty good too, it's good for your health."

  "That's right!"

  The night in Beijing is different from the hustle and bustle of the daytime, although it's not very quiet, but it seems like the ancient city has suddenly fallen silent after a busy day. The surrounding buildings have a strong ancient atmosphere, and I couldn't help but immerse myself in it: "I really envy you for growing up here."

  "Isn't the south okay?"

  "Alright, in my heart it's always the best hometown." I looked at the distance "But here is different, and all cities are not the same. I just like the atmosphere of the ancient city."

  He jokingly asked: "Then do you like the people of the ancient city?"

  I glared at him: "Young master still lacks people who like him?"

  He smiled but didn't speak, his hand tightly grasping mine.

  That night we walked for a long time, I didn't know his school was so far from my dormitory, even I who was good at walking felt a bit tired.

  It wasn't until later that I found out the young master had deliberately gone around with me, his purpose was just to spend more time with me. But if I had known what would happen between us afterwards, even if my legs were broken, I would have walked a little further with him that day.

  Good times were scarce, it's just that I forgot to cherish them.

  On the way back to the dormitory, there was a person standing downstairs, quite far away and I couldn't see very clearly. I thought it was just a colleague.

  I looked at Shen Zhong beside me: "Want to go upstairs and sit for a while?"

  He smiled and said, "Not good, huh?"

  "What's on your mind!"

  "Since you've asked so politely, I suppose I have no choice but to accept." He seemed rather reluctant. "Well, in that case, let's go upstairs and take a look then."

  I punched him in the chest: "Take this!"

  He took advantage of the situation and held my hand: "Baby, I've been wanting this for a long time."

  This guy!

  "Willow Jia."

  I followed the sound and looked over. In an instant, I felt a numbness all over my body, and subconsciously glanced at Shen Zhong beside me.

  It's all over... The young master's face has turned black.

  My life is at an end.
