Free Web NovelChapter 149: Chapter 149: Someone Devastatingly Handsome
The newcomer deftly but forcefully pushed aside the person in the passenger seat, scrambled over from the driver’s seat, opened the passenger door, and jumped out in front of Su Li.
Hearing his voice, Su Li finally realized who it was.
"Ah, Wu Sheng!"
Su Li’s face was full of surprise. "So this is what you really look like!"
Wu Sheng’s eyes were also filled with pleasant surprise as he looked at Su Li.
He had just casually glanced out the window and thought the person on the roadside looked vaguely familiar. The next second, it hit him that it was Su Li.
He stopped the car without a second thought. A closer look confirmed it really was her.
A completely transformed Su Li, totally different from the girl who herded cattle on the mountain.
’Tsk, tsk. The cattle-herding girl was beautiful enough, but now she looks like this... It’s practically cheating!’
Wu Sheng looked at Su Li, his eyes glinting. He crossed one arm over his chest, stroked his chin with the other hand, and winked at her.
"That’s right. This handsome face is all me. What do you think? Smitten, aren’t you?"
’He’s unfairly handsome, and she’s unfairly beautiful. They belong in the same league. A match made in heaven!’
Seeing his expression and hearing his words, Su Li couldn’t help but let out a snort of laughter.
’So shameless, so narcissistic, so brazen... It’s truly a sight to behold!’
Wu Sheng straightened his perpetually black clothes, slicked back his hair with a cool gesture, and raised an eyebrow.
"I’m so handsome that I was afraid you’d ’fall for Wu Sheng at first sight and ruin your life.’ I didn’t want to distract you and affect your college entrance exams, so I never dared to wash my face before. I always showed you that grimy face."
Wu Sheng sighed and spread his hands. "My intentions were so good. You should be thanking me."
Su Li didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"Yes, yes. Thank you for your trouble."
’This Wu Sheng is something else. Just seeing him makes me unable to stop smiling. All my earlier gloom has vanished.’
"As long as you know my intentions were good." After finishing his solemn nonsense, Wu Sheng asked, "So you got into a university here in the Imperial City?"
Su Li nodded. "Mhm."
"Which school?" Wu Sheng immediately asked.
"Huaguo Communication University," Su Li said with a smile, pointing behind her.
Wu Sheng immediately gave her a thumbs-up. "Awesome, Su Li! You’re awesome!" ’Just as awesome as me!’
"Scoring so well deserves a red envelope as a reward."
As he spoke, Wu Sheng patted his pockets and actually managed to pull out a red envelope.
"Here. Quick, thank your big brother," Wu Sheng said, placing the red envelope in Su Li’s hand.
Staring at the red envelope in her hand, Su Li was once again dumbfounded. "This... where did you get this?"
’He’s like Doraemon, pulling anything and everything out of his pocket.’
"I... had a premonition. I have some psychic abilities," Wu Sheng said, pointing to his head and spouting more solemn nonsense.
The moment he finished, he saw Su Li’s exasperated expression. He glanced away and coughed.
While he was looking smug, Su Li had flipped the red envelope over, revealing the full-moon celebration blessing written on it.
’Psychic abilities, my foot. This is obviously a red envelope meant for a baby’s full-moon party that he’s giving to me.’
Su Li was at a loss for words. "Stop messing around. I can’t take a red envelope from a baby."
Wu Sheng rubbed the tip of his nose. "It’s fine. I’ll just prepare another one."
Just as Su Li was about to say more, Wu Sheng beat her to it, ready to settle a score.
"Su Li, you promised you’d contact me. Why didn’t you?"
Su Li said helplessly, "I only just got to the Imperial City. I’ve been busy."
’Busy with my divorce.’
Wu Sheng looked unconvinced.
He had, after all, received the watch she mailed back to him.
When he received the returned watch, Wu Sheng had been very unhappy. But after thinking about it, he understood.
’This is Su Li,’ he thought. ’She’s not just any girl. Of course she wouldn’t just keep his watch.’
’A watch carries a lot of meaning. In the future, it’s almost the same as a ring.’
’How could Su Li vaguely accept something like that when he hadn’t made his intentions clear?’
Thinking of the watch, a dark light flickered in Wu Sheng’s gaze as he looked at Su Li. freёwebnovel.com
"You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Come on, I’ll take you to eat..."
Before Wu Sheng could finish, a head popped out from the car behind him, interrupting.
"Boss, you can’t park here..."
"Then drive away," Wu Sheng shot back without turning his head.
"But Boss, didn’t you say we had to... before dark?"
"You can shut up now. Get going." Still not turning around, Wu Sheng reached back and accurately clamped a hand over his colleague’s mouth, pushing him away.
Su Li couldn’t help but laugh at Wu Sheng’s fluid movements.
"You should go, you’re busy. We’ll see each other next time." frёeωebɳovel.com
Wu Sheng shook his head. "I still have time for a meal."
"There’s really no rush." Su Li glanced at the colleague behind him, who was still there with a troubled look on his face. "You should go."
Wu Sheng glanced sideways, and his colleague, who was staring at him pleadingly, felt a sudden chill run down his spine.
"What class are you in? I’ll come find you in a few days," Wu Sheng asked.
"I haven’t registered yet, so I don’t know my class. But I’m a journalism major," Su Li replied.
"Journalism, huh?" Wu Sheng gave another thumbs-up. "Awesome."
His hand pressed against the pocket on his chest, where the watch Su Li had returned was kept.
"Then I’ll find you next time and treat you to a good meal."
Wu Sheng smiled. "This is my turf. Let me be a good host. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."
Su Li smiled. "Okay."
’To run into him right after arriving in the Imperial City... It must be fate.’
"Then I’ll get going for today."
A trace of reluctance appeared in Wu Sheng’s eyes, along with a hint of eagerness.
’After I get back from this mission, I’m going to find Su Li and make things clear. I’ll say what needs to be said, and then I’ll give her the watch again!’
Wu Sheng waved goodbye to Su Li, shooed his colleague from the passenger seat into the driver’s seat, and got in himself.
The car was about to start moving when Wu Sheng suddenly remembered the farewell letter.
"Oh right, Su Li, did you see my farewell letter?"
Before he could finish his sentence, the car lurched forward.
Wu Sheng quickly stuck his head out to look back.
Su Li smiled and called out a sentence.
"He who has this map will conquer the world!"
The car sped away, and Su Li’s figure grew smaller and smaller, but a look of ecstatic surprise burst forth in Wu Sheng’s eyes.
He sat up straight and laughed out loud. "Haha!"
"She saw it! Haha, she actually saw it!"
He laughed heartily, and in his excitement, he thumped the colleague next to him a couple of times.
The colleague, who was driving, yelped and winced in pain.
’That hurts!’
"Does it hurt? Haha, my bad..."
While apologizing, Wu Sheng thumped his colleague again.
Colleague: "..."
’Is it fun to apologize so arrogantly while laughing? And it really hurts!’
Amidst the colleague’s silent complaints, bursts of laughter would occasionally erupt in the car, creating a bizarre atmosphere.
While this car was filled with laughter, Tang Yuanxiao, who had also been in a car, couldn’t bring himself to smile.
After parting with Su Li in the morning, Tang Yuanxiao took Little Tang Mo to Grandma Cui’s house.
Along the way, Tang Yuanxiao had originally planned to bond a little more with Little Tang Mo.
Unfortunately, plans rarely survive contact with reality.
In the end, the entire trip turned into a training session.
That’s right, a training session.
A training session where Little Tang Mo was training Tang Yuanxiao.
This was a decision Little Tang Mo had made after a full day and night of careful consideration.
He wanted his mom and dad to be together, so his mom could always be his mom. Therefore, he decided to train the key person, Tang Yuanxiao, and make him a little more likable so that his mom would like him.
