“Leng Siche!” Xia Yuxun shouted out in shock.

He had already changed his glasses frames and had also taken off his suit. Wearing only a white T-shirt, he looked casual.

“Yes, that’s me! You are… Lil’ Xun?” Leng Siche’s face flashed with surprise.

The reason why he was certain it was her was that in his memory, other than Xia Yuxun, nobody dares to talk to Leng Sichen using this attitude.

He couldn’t believe that the woman he ran into this morning was her!

In the morning, she wasn’t wearing glasses and was crying so pitiful, causing him to not recognize her at all.

In his memory, he’s never seen her cry before.

“It’s me. What a coincidence! In the morning, I didn’t recognize you and only realized who you were after seeing your name on your card…” Xia Yuxun scratched her head and said somewhat apologetically.

Leng Siche smiled, not minding it at all, “I didn’t recognize you as well! After all, we haven’t seen each other in over 10 years!”

“Yes! It’s been so long! I remember when I was little, I would climb the wall to play in your family’s mansion. You would be reading on green grass and when you saw me jump in, you were so scared you fell off your chair! Haha…”

Leng Siche chuckled, “Lil’ Xun, you haven’t changed at all.”

“Haha, really? I will see it as you are complimenting my everlasting vitality! The same goes for you. You are just as handsome as before!”

Leng Siche pursed his lips at those words, a little stunned.

Xia Yuxun made a “psst” sound and giggled, “Even how easy it is to embarrass you hasn’t changed…”

“If you two want to catch up, can you go somewhere else?” Leng Sichen’s voice interrupted the warmth from this reunion.

“Brother, you are as scary as before.” Leng Siche gently laughed and then looked over to Xia Yuxun. He asked, “Lil’ Xun, do you have time tonight? Let’s get together? At Scarlet Bar.”

“Tonight? I shouldn’t have anything planned…” Xia Yuxun instinctively looked over Leng Sichen.

“Alright, as long as you have time. My brother will go tonight as well, so he won’t be arranging any work for you.” Leng Siche quickly helped her disperse her worry.

“Alright, I will be there. See you tonight.”

It was difficult to refuse such kindness, plus, he was Leng Sichen’s little brother, so she needed to give him face. Though she really wasn’t in the mood, she agreed to go in the end.

“See you tonight!” Leng Siche unnoticeably sighed in relief.

“Ah! Right! Siche, what’s your prescription?” Xia Yuxun circled back halfway and asked.

Leng Siche heard that familiar “Siche” from her and his entire heart melted. He answered bluntly and instinctively, “Left eye -10, right eye -8!”

After Xia Yuxun left, Leng Sichen looked at his younger brother thoughtfully, “When did your taste turn so heavy?”

Maybe that idiot Xia Yuxun couldn’t tell, but he noticed Leng Siche’s unusual behavior right away.

Leng Siche’s lips curled up and without hiding anything, he expressed his good mood, “Honestly speaking, I’ve always thought you liked Lil’ Xun and never thought you’d end up together with Ms. Bai. Since you never had the intention of being with Lil’ Xun, then I have nothing to worry about.”

Leng Sichen frowned, “Haven’t you always treated her coldly?”

“What right did I have to approach her with the physical conditions I had…” Leng Siche revealed much sullenness.

Leng Sichen was internally astounded. He never expected his quiet and shy brother would have feelings towards Xia Yuxun. The emotions he held runs far deeper than he had expected.

“Brother, bring your Ms. Bai tonight! A few classmates of mine, who came back with me from America, will be there too. The more the merrier.” Leng Siche excitedly suggested. Compared to before, his entire being seemed to have been reborn and he was now high in spirits.

“Mmhmm.” Leng Sichen answered without thinking much.

“You’ve met this morning?” Leng Sichen asked mindlessly as he flipped through his documents.

“Yes! She dashed out all flustered and bumped right into me. Oh right, she seemed to be crying at the time as well. Brother, do you know what happened?” Leng Siche asked out of worry.

Seeing the surprised look on Leng Sichen’s face, Leng Siche joked, “Did you bully her again?”

After a moment of silence, Leng Sichen rubbed his forehead and responded in a cold voice, “She couldn’t keep her private life out of her professional one. So I lectured her a little.”
