“Lin Xinyan.” Fu Xiuyu mumbled this name again and again. He wrecked his brain but the name didn’t ring a bell.Fu Siying sighed in relief at this, “She’s a stranger right?! I told you! She’s just someone who’s trying to pick you out after finding out who you are! Let’s hurry up and go!”
Luo Chen rolled his eyes, “You really think your brother is this nation’s god? All the girls want him?”
Fu Xiuyu gave Lin Xiyan a look, “I’m sorry, miss. I think you got the wrong person.”
Then, he left with Fu Siying.
Lin Xiyan couldn’t hold back anymore as her tears rushed to her eyes and rolled down her cheeks.
“****, why are you crying?” Luo Chen dumbfoundedly scratched his head. He twisted his head to look at Qiao Qing, “Qingqing, I didn’t bring any tissue. Did you?”
Fu Xiuyu heard the fuss and tried to look back, Fu Siying however, grabbed onto his arm and walked on, “Brother, let’s go. Or else people will start to crowd.”
Fu Xiuyu hesitated but ended up leaving with Fu Siying.
Qiao Qing gave Han Zhi, Qi Rui, and Luo Chen a look, “Do you know where her room is?”
Luo Chen nodded, “Didn’t she say she’s in Building 4 in the Plum Garden?”
Qiao Qing agreed, “You guys go first and wait in her room.”
“Oh, oh, okay.” Luo Chen knew that this wasn’t something boys should interfere with. So he pulled Qi Rui away and left.
Qiao Qing found an empty bench in an isolated area and sat down with Lin Xiyan. She wiped the tears off Lin Xiyan’s face.
“What do you want to know? I can look it up for you. Who do you want to beat up? I can also beat anyone up for you.”
Lin Xiyan laughed through her tears at this, “Qingqing, this is the first time I’ve heard a joke from you.”
Qiao Qing had a serious look on her face, “I’m serious.”
“There’s no need.” Lin Xiyan sighed and then said almost mockingly, “When I was little, I had a brother. But when I entered junior high, a bunch of well-dressed people came to my house and took my brother away.”
“Only then did I find out that my brother wasn’t my parents’ child. Ever since then, I never got to see him again. It’s been so many years, so I understand if he no longer remembers me.”
Qiao Qing found this puzzling, “How old was he when he was taken away?”
Lin Xiyan answered, “Sixteen. His appearance hasn’t changed much so I recognized him right away.”
Qiao Qing pursed her lips. A 16-year-old teen… even if they haven’t seen each other in years, there was no way he could forget the little sister he grew up with.
Even if Lin Xiyan changed her entire appearance… Qiao Qing paused, “Have you ever changed your name?”
Lin Xiyan shook her head, “No. This has been my name since birth.”
How strange.
Qiao Qing nodded and silently made a mental note.
Just then, Lin Xiyan’s cell rang.
Qiao Qing swallowed back what she wanted to say and waited for her to finish her call. Then she asked, “You are looking for a part-time job?”
Lin Xiyan nodded, “I have a lot of free time in university. I want to pay for my own tuition and my own personal expenses. It’ll help out my family a lot.”
Qiao Qing was silent for a while, “I remember you telling me that you majored in environmental engineering. Why did you pick this major? You want to work in the field in the future?”
Lin Xiyan scratched her head, “No. I don’t even know what environmental engineers do. My score was low so they automatically put me in this major.”
Qiao Qing, “…”
“Then, don’t you have something you want to do in the future?”
Lin Xiyan, “Of course. My dream’s always been to be an actor. But like I said before, I’m not an art student and I have no background in art. So it’s very difficult to get on that path. As for others… It’ll depend on how much I will be able to make.”
