Chapter 1347: Chapter 1347: Running Through the Campus
Meng Shuqing left the event, slipped out through the back door, and as soon as she stepped outside, she saw a familiar figure.
“Xiao Bai!”
Meng Shuqing exclaimed with delight.
In the light, the tall figure turned around. Unlike the handsome Chu Huaijin, who exuded a gentlemanly aura as warm as jade, An Bai had sharp features that made him strikingly handsome. Just standing there, he gave off a vibe of ‘keep your distance’.
However, when he turned and saw Meng Shuqing, his eyes seemed to shine with light, and the originally sharp lines of his face softened.
He opened his arms wide.
Meng Shuqing happily ran up to him and stopped. Looking up, she asked, “When did you come back?”
“Today.” An Bai, with outstretched arms, asked, “What, after such a long absence, shouldn’t you give me a hug?”
“Save your hugs for your future wife then.”
Meng Shuqing rolled her eyes and waved the flowers in her hand, asking, “Did you send these?”
“You like them.” An Bai didn’t deny it at all. He looked her over, noting that Meng Shuqing, who loved to run around, hadn’t favored dresses since she was young—except as a little girl. Most often when An Bai returned, it was winter, making it even rarer to see her in a dress.
While photos occasionally showed her in dresses, seeing her now in this glamorous outfit, the white gown made her look even more beautiful.
An Bai’s eyes revealed his amazement.
“I like the stars in the sky, will you pluck one for me?” Meng Shuqing tilted her head and asked.
An Bai thought seriously for a moment and said, “I can give it a try.”
“How would you try?” Meng Shuqing blinked.
An Bai replied, “I’ll give you a telescope, so you can see whatever star you want.”
Meng Shuqing: “…”
“Come on, let me treat you to some barbecue.” Meng Shuqing craved the barbecue near the school.
Just as she was about to step forward, An Bai grabbed her hand. Puzzled, she turned back and asked, “What is it?”
An Bai glanced at the passing students from the corner of his eye and, holding her hand, began to walk out with her, saying, “Xiaoqing, you’re wearing that dress to eat barbecue—isn’t it a bit inappropriate?”
Only then did Meng Shuqing realize and said, “You’re right, wearing a dress to eat barbecue does seem a little out of place. How about we go eat steak instead?”
For her performance tonight, Meng Shuqing hadn’t eaten dinner. If she had, a full stomach stretching this perfectly fitted dress would look awful with a little bulge!
“Let’s go to your apartment. I’ve already ordered steak to celebrate.” An Bai patted her hair, praising, “Your piano playing was beautiful today.”
“You mean I didn’t play well before?” Upon hearing steak was already ordered, Meng Shuqing dragged An Bai along, saying, “Hurry up! I’m starving.”
“If you could play more for me in the future, I might get used to it,” An Bai said with a smile, following Meng Shuqing’s lead. Running across the campus made him feel utterly relaxed.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face; tomorrow, there would surely be photos of the two of them on the school forum, ensuring no one would dare to make a move on Xiaoqing.
The moment they reached the apartment, the steak was delivered, and as soon as they opened the door, several people streamed in, setting up the bare dining table to look just like a restaurant.
With tall candle holders and steak set opposite each other, not only the steak but also Meng Shuqing’s favorite desserts and fruit were displayed on the table, sparking her appetite!
“Xiao Bai, I knew you’d understand me best!”
Meng Shuqing said happily, as these were all her favorite things!
She sat at the table and urged An Bai, “Hurry, let’s eat, I’m hungry.”
“Okay.”
An Bai turned off the main lights, leaving only the flickering candlelight, instantly changing the mood.
At some point, soft music started playing in the room—a piano piece that Meng Shuqing liked.
An Bai stepped closer to Meng Shuqing, his eyes fixed intently on her, and in his gaze, there was only Meng Shuqing in front of him.
Despite her hunger, which almost drove her to devour the steak immediately, the atmosphere created by An Bai made her feel a bit unusual. It had been a few years, but why did it seem like An Bai had become even more handsome?
Hmm, he even learned to be romantic, perhaps he dated many girls in F Country?
“How many girls did you date to learn to be this romantic?” Meng Shuqing’s question shattered the mood entirely.
An Bai: “…”
His little girl seemed not to have realized yet.
At this moment, An Bai completely forgot that Meng Shuqing was only a year younger than him.
“I haven’t dated anyone.” An Bai sat across from her and said, “I haven’t even had a girlfriend.”
Picking up the knife and fork, An Bai, who hadn’t eaten anything waiting to dine with Meng Shuqing, felt his stomach also growling with hunger.
“Really?”
While eating, Meng Shuqing asked, “You’re so handsome and never had a girlfriend? How can I believe that?”
“Have you ever had a boyfriend?” An Bai countered.
“Why have a boyfriend? Isn’t it great being free and unrestrained, with no one to tell me what to do?” Meng Shuqing replied without hesitation.
An Bai smiled at her, and Meng Shuqing immediately understood and continued to enjoy her steak, asking, “Xiao Bai, how long are you staying this time? Did Aunt Qing agree to let you return home?”
“In the future, my career focus will be in China, so I can spend most of my time here.”
An Bai paused and said, “Actually, Aunt Qing is the one who told me to come back.”
Since childhood, An Bai had been raised by An Chong and Bai Qing. He seldom had much free time to himself.
Now that Meng Shuqing was already in college, Bai Qing was anxious, urging An Bai to marry, insisting that he bring Chenchen home, effectively sending him back to China.
And his dad…
An Chong, wanted to spend a couple’s world with his mother and regarded him as a spare tire.
“So, you’ll be staying in Jing City from now on?” Meng Shuqing asked again and said, “Which restaurant did you order the steak from? It’s quite good.”
“Since you like it, I’ll always order from this place for you,”
An Bai didn’t name any restaurant and said, “I’ll be staying in Beiyang City.”
“Ah…”
Meng Shuqing raised her head, puzzled, “Shouldn’t you be in Jing City? Why Beiyang City?”
“Beiyang City is great; it’s suitable for a company headquarters.” An Bai thought silently: Your four years of university are in Beiyang City; he didn’t want to waste time being away from her.
