Chapter 1354: Chapter 1354: Who Is It?
The night is deep and silent.
Meng Shuqing lies in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Even though she is a bit slow when it comes to romantic feelings, she considers herself not foolish.
Meng Shuqing repeatedly thinks about today’s events. Xiao Bai cooked her a seafood feast, which isn’t such a big deal, but she’d already told him she would eat out, so why did Xiao Bai still go to the hotel to pick her up?
Xiao Bai brought her coat and introduced himself to Lance as her boyfriend.
“The landlord didn’t want to sell, but because I’m staying here for someone I like, the landlord was touched and decided to sell.”
“Someone you like lives in this building?”
If it were before, Meng Shuqing might not have thought much of this conversation, but today it feels different.
If he truly has someone he likes, how does he still have time to cook for her?
Also, when Xiao Bai was playing games today, his seamless operation of the game made her wonder how she could believe Xiao Bai hadn’t played this game before?
Bai Chen?
An Bai, Chenchen?
Unable to stop thinking, when she saw the top player in the server before, she inwardly wondered whether it was none other than Xiao Bai and her!
At that time, An Bai was far away in Country F, and they rarely met throughout the year. Although An Bai always remembered her gifts for big and small occasions, and her birthday, An Bai feels more like a big brother to her.
She felt it was just a coincidence.
But now, Meng Shu doesn’t think it seems that way. Xiao Bai’s game operation is very skilled; she has seen Bai Chen’s operation and it’s identical to An Bai’s.
Unfortunately, at the time she mentioned this, Xiao Bai did not admit to it.
Who is the person Xiao Bai likes?
Meng Shuqing has a vague feeling in her heart but can’t figure it out.
Tossing and turning like a pancake on the bed all night, Meng Shuqing gets up the next morning and heads out, bumping into Chu Huaijin as she goes upstairs.
“Brother Jin, morning.” Meng Shuqing greets with a smile, her demeanor clearly treating him like an older brother from next door, without any shyness typical of a girl.
Chu Huaijin suppresses his inner disappointment, smiles and replies, “Good morning, are you going for a run?”
“Yes, to get some exercise.” Meng Shuqing didn’t sleep well last night, and if she didn’t exercise to sweat today, she wouldn’t have time to rest during the day.
Luckily, there are no classes today.
She plans to run a lap outside, break a good sweat, then return to sleep to shake off all her fatigue.
Chu Huaijin wants to accompany her, but he has classes today and can’t spare the time.
“Brother Jin, I’m off to run.”
Meng Shuqing waves to Chu Huaijin and starts jogging towards the nearby park, not giving Chu Huaijin a chance to speak.
In the apartment, An Bai prepares breakfast with the intention of inviting Meng Shuqing over to eat but realizes she has no class today and probably won’t get up for breakfast.
An Bai considers, leaves a message for Meng Shuqing, and heads to the company.
He plans to settle the company in Beiyang, which requires a lot of work. To make dinner for her, An Bai wishes he could divide time in half.
After exercising, Meng Shuqing returns to the apartment slowly, eats breakfast, waits for the sweat to dry off, then takes a shower.
After a steaming hot shower, having not slept well last night, she lies on the bed, sleepiness overcomes her, and she’s too tired to keep her eyes open.
She sleeps until the afternoon when she feels refreshed and with her stomach growling in hunger, she grabs a bag and decides to go out for food.
“Shuqing.”
Lance’s striking blue eyes appear in Meng Shuqing’s vision, and she pauses for a moment. Just as she finishes a meal and plans to wander around Beiyang, she runs into Lance.
“What a coincidence.”
Lance’s eyes brighten when he sees Meng Shuqing.
“Yes, a good coincidence.” Meng Shuqing nods with a smile, but noticing Lance’s unabashedly admiring gaze, her expression shifts.
Meng Shuqing’s smile deepens, asking, “Lance, where are you planning to go?”
“Just planning to walk around, but I’m not familiar with this place.” Lance looks at Meng Shuqing expectantly, asking, “Shuqing, would I be honored to have you as my tour guide?”
“I need to ask my boyfriend first.” Meng Shuqing replies with a smile.
“Alright.”
Lance thinks about the outstanding man he saw yesterday and sighs slightly, wishing he had come sooner!
Meng Shuqing casually calls An Bai, says a few words, and hangs up, then leads Lance around Beiyang.
Although Meng Shuqing is not very familiar, she does know a few of the famous spots in Beiyang, and they wander until evening. Lance, of course very gentlemanly, offers to treat Meng Shuqing to dinner, which she refuses with a smile saying, “Sorry, my boyfriend is waiting for me at home.”
Lance feels a bit disappointed, but since he enjoyed his time with Meng Shuqing, even if they can’t develop further, he is satisfied to be friends. Lance very graciously sends Meng Shuqing home.
Coincidentally, they run into An Bai.
Receiving Meng Shuqing’s call, An Bai is initially surprised, but hearing she plans to go around with Lance, he wishes he could drop everything and rush over. But Meng Shuqing only said a few words before hanging up, leaving An Bai preoccupied with work.
He keeps a constant watch on Meng Shuqing, and at the same time, he finishes his work early and waits at the apartment building, disguising it as a coincidental meeting when he sees Meng Shuqing returning.
“Xiao Bai, did you just get back too?” Meng Shuqing’s smile grows wider.
“Yes.” An Bai sees her smile, and the bitterness in his heart dissipates considerably as he holds Meng Shuqing’s hand, standing side by side with her and chatting with Lance, appearing normal.
But Meng Shuqing, having spent a long time with An Bai from childhood, has known he does not like Lance, even resents Lance.
Before having this thought, Meng Shuqing naturally did not notice. But now that she observes, she finds Xiao Bai treating her better than she imagined.
After parting ways with Lance, An Bai takes Meng Shuqing to a new restaurant for dinner. Meng Shuqing doesn’t choose from the menu, instead letting An Bai choose, and all the dishes he picks are ones she likes.
She hadn’t noticed before, but now Meng Shuqing feels Xiao Bai’s eyes on her are indeed full of tender love. Dining with Xiao Bai gives her a very special feeling.
Night.
Meng Shuqing places her hand on her chest; Xiao Bai likes her.
Then what about her?
Meng Shuqing thinks long and hard, yet fails to determine what it means to like someone.
Is it like the way her dad loves her mom, with them sweetening everything around, pouring on the affection?
Or is it like her uncle and aunt, as happy adversaries?
Forget it, over time, she’ll figure it out. In any case, she’s not planning to rush into marriage; she still wants to establish her own gaming team and participate in international competitions!
