Marrying the Short-Lived, Maniacal Eldest Miss for Good Fortune 102

Chapter 102

The red flag at the front of the car fluttered in the wind.

A long, slender leg in suit pants stepped out of the pure black sedan and landed firmly on the ground. The sharp lines outlined the woman’s impeccable and sharp temperament. She raised her hand and pushed up the rimless glasses on the bridge of her nose.

The guard on duty saw her tall and straight figure standing in front of the car, and his spirits were immediately lifted. He quickly checked his appearance in the reflection of the glass, and secretly wondered which department’s leader this was.

It was a pity that the woman’s proud and frosty demeanor did not last for a few minutes. After crossing the zebra crossing, it turned into a mad dash.

No time.

Li Xianqing, in the car, quietly watched Fang Yi’s hasty departing back, and a smile appeared on her lips.

She slowly took the handkerchief that the secretary had handed her, carefully wiped the fingers that had just touched the gift, and then casually threw it aside.

It was almost the end of the ceremony. No matter how fast Fang Yi ran, she would not be able to make it. She herself should also be very clear about this.

Even so, did she have to make herself so pathetic?

Fang Yi herself couldn’t figure it out.

Purpose, action, result. When planning a matter, there should be a corresponding expected range. But only in matters related to Lin Shuxing, the expectation was a blank.

This was a pursuit that was more akin to a biological instinct, just like drinking water when thirsty, eating when hungry, and unconsciously slowing down when seeing the starry sky.

The bandage under her sleeve was a little tight, and a slight pain and itch spread from her forearm to her fingertips.

She couldn’t make it.

Actually, this was also expected.

Today, the whole world seemed to be determined to go against her. First, this meeting that had fallen from the sky, then Xia Wenzhou, Li Xianqing, and her driver, for some reason, had deliberately taken a long detour.

But she hadn’t even made it to the end. The sun was so glaring, and the road to that auditorium suddenly became very distant.

She saw the main door being pushed open from a distance, and the melodious music and the students poured out. A dense crowd, and the cheerful laughter instantly drowned out the insignificant accompaniment.

Fang Yi stopped by a tree, raised her hand to wipe her sweat, and calmed her breathing, trying her best not to be so conspicuous.

She was dressed too maturely and had a subtle adult aura. The passing girls more or less stole a few glances at her.

It was too hot. The white shirt was stuck to her back, and the rise and fall of her throat was bound by her tie. She was relying on the coat that was adding fuel to the fire to maintain her decency.

The temperature at noon was close to thirty degrees. If she had taken a look at the weather forecast today, she shouldn’t have dressed like this.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, her current appearance looked a little silly.

Silly is silly. Fang Yi straightened up and slowly walked against the flow of people towards the auditorium, her gaze shuttling through the indistinguishable crowd.

There were too many people. To search with the naked eye was like looking for a needle in a haystack. The young and budding girls all seemed to have the same face, like thousands of flowers wantonly fluttering in the wind, dazzling.

There were still many people in the auditorium, walking out one after another. Fang Yi was a little in the way standing at the entrance. She could only carefully move out with the crowd, let out a low sigh, and first found a restroom nearby to wash her face.

The cold water suppressed the restlessness in her heart a little. The impeccable woman in the mirror looked a little strange, forming a sharp contrast with the young girls behind her.

At this moment, Fang Yi suddenly felt that five years was a very long number.

She hadn’t brought a napkin. The water droplets slid down her cheeks, and she casually wiped them with the back of her hand. The black cuffs were rolled up, revealing a little of the bandage on her wrist.

What if she had just missed her in these few minutes? She had had enough bad luck today.

But she really didn’t want to appear in front of Lin Shuxing in such a pathetic state.

It wasn’t bad luck. She had indeed hypocritically not taken leave today, nor had she accepted the school’s invitation. She could only rely on a little feigned suddenness to fight against the rushing tide. This failure could only be attributed to her own fault.

Besides, Lin Shuxing might not want to see her either.

Duan Ruoxi always said things so beautifully, but the fact was that even without her, the young lady was still very happy, and could even be said to be one less burden.

A passing junior saw this woman who was suddenly staring at the mirror in a daze. Her dark eyelashes blinked, and a crystal clear water droplet fell. She hesitated and handed over a pack of tissues.

Fang Yi came back to her senses, subconsciously took the tissue, and said, “Thank you.”

There was also a cute cartoon print on the small pack of tissues, with a faint fragrance, very similar to the kind that Lin Shuxing used.

I’ll go and find the photography department. They’ll have photos of the whole event. If I’m lucky, there might even be a recording.

Fang Yi wiped her damp mood along with it, walked out, and ran into a group of people.

So dramatically, at the entrance of the restroom, she met Lin Shuxing.

It was as if a magic spell had come true. When you have the other person’s name in your mind a hundred times, a certain gravitational pull will automatically be generated.

The young lady clearly also did not expect to meet her here. She widened her eyes slightly, and the only difference from a startled cat was that she had not yet jumped up.

Fang Yi pinched her fingertips.

Lin Shuxing was only wearing light makeup today, and the curve of her curly hair looked much softer than before. From a big wave, it had turned into a small, red wave, with a golden wheat ear braided in the curve, which at first glance looked a bit like a crown.

She was not wearing any expensive jewelry, but she was still as proud as a princess.

Her eyes were sparkling. When she blinked gently, countless sparkling stardust flowed. Fang Yi knew that this was glitter. They must be even more dazzling under the lights.

It was a pity that she had not been able to see them shine on the stage.

Their eyes met. Fang Yi watched as those stardust turned over, and the young lady’s smile went from sunny to cloudy. She viciously linked her arm with the girl on the side, and as if she were avoiding something dirty, she very deliberately walked around her.

The days they had not met were very long, but if you really counted, it was only a short month.

The lively young ladies brushed past Fang Yi, no different from the many strangers who had passed by.

Lin Shuxing seemed to have grown a little taller and had also made many new friends. Her side seemed to never be short of playmates.

Fang Yi noticed that one of them had turned her head to look at her with a hint of a probing curiosity. She had fallen a few steps behind, and had raised her chin like a peacock spreading its wings, with a subtle vigilance in her innocence.

Fang Yi pinched her fingers and smiled inexplicably.

Probably only a young person would think that their restless feelings were well hidden. In fact, they were like a fish in the water, blowing bubbles, and as soon as they floated to the surface, they were seen through.

Lin Shuxing’s skirt swayed, and her cascading hair swayed lightly. The fragrance on her body still lingered in the air, drilling into her chest, like a crystal clear square of mint candy rolling in a kaleidoscope.

These mint candies were also very sharp. If you held them between your lips and teeth, they would turn into blades in an instant, and would stir up a sweet mess.

But when it kissed, it was soft after all.

Fang Yi walked outside, narrowed her eyes, and looked at the scorching sun.

She had come for her, but when they had really met, she didn’t know what she really wanted to do.

Many times, she had forced herself to move forward. When a person faces slaughter and the battlefield, they will naturally shoot. There is nothing to learn.

But feelings seem to be a little different.

She didn’t have much of a trial-and-error cost, and the frequency of her heart palpitations after a near-death experience was actually very close.

That little bit of blank feeling was magnified, and bewilderment was a terrifying greed.

Fang Yi looked down at the gift box. In the sunlight, she suddenly found that the paper bag had been squeezed out of shape by her.

This was a completely unconscious action. She only felt that she had just smiled, and it should be considered calm and friendly.

Although she had bought it, she did not want to give this thing to Lin Shuxing.

It was just that she had to hold it in her hand to destroy it, at least not to let the two of them meet.

“Hey, Senior Fang Yi? You’re back too.”

A girl’s cheerful voice brought Fang Yi’s thoughts back. She looked up and found that it was a junior from the journalism department she had met by chance, and also a member of the school’s photography department.

The little girl was very warm-hearted. After Fang Yi had hinted that she wanted photos of today’s event, she had immediately and enthusiastically opened her camera.

In the small thumbnail, it was easy to find a large area belonging to Lin Shuxing. After the large scene, there were many portrait close-ups. She had a great fondness for this beautiful new student and had contributed a lot of shutters.

The young lady in the camera was graceful and generous, without a trace of stage fright. She could easily mobilize the atmosphere of the whole room without a speech, and there was a light in her eyes, and every gesture was very powerful.

If Fang Yi had had any doubts before seeing these photos, now those heavy regrets were all swallowed into her stomach with a mouthful of blood, and she no longer thought about it.

Lin Shuxing was very clear-headed. She could completely control this stage. She knew what she wanted.

Just as He Shuanghua had said, Lin Shuxing’s vision was not worse than hers. It was she who had been self-righteously acting as a protector.

The junior’s photos were very well taken. Many of the close-ups were close to a photo shoot, especially a certain facial close-up. The young lady’s bright smile and the sunlight were frozen in an instant, and that pair of amber eyes was exceptionally dazzling.

Fang Yi touched her nose and asked if she could send her a copy of this photo.

“In theory, it’s not allowed. It involves her portrait rights. What do you want this for, senior?”

The junior’s news radar was up, and she stared at Fang Yi without blinking.

“Well, because, she is my… fiancée.”

“Huh? Really?” The junior stared at Fang Yi in astonishment. It was really a little incredible for these words to come from her mouth.

Fang Yi looked up at the direction of the exit. Lin Shuxing and her friends had just come out, looking very intimate. She then lowered her eyes and said vaguely, “I guess so.”

The young lady was very proud on the stage. Now, she had no airs at all. She curled her red lips, and when she noticed the gaze of this girl with a camera, she even raised an eyebrow and smiled at her.

If hormones could be materialized into pheromones, she should be able to easily mesmerize everyone present.

But her curved eyes did not give Fang Yi a good face. She pretended not to see and floated past.

The girl whose arm she was holding whispered a few words to her, and the few people in the group all laughed. Lin Shuxing suddenly stopped in the laughter, raised her hand, and picked off a fallen flower from the girl’s hair.

Her fingertips brushed past the girl’s ear as if unintentionally. Just this small action made the person’s face instantly turn red.

The junior let out a small gasp and tightly grabbed Fang Yi’s arm and shook it. “Senior, senior!! Look!!”

The senior didn’t really want to look.

The little flower was held between the young lady’s fingers, and the smile on her lips deepened a little.

But the woman standing under the tree was still unmoved. The shadow covered her expression, and she was like a blind person with empty eyes.

The young lady threw the little flower on the ground in a huff, turned her head to take her friend’s hand, and their ten fingers were intertwined.

This time, the woman finally had a little reaction. She smiled faintly at Lin Shuxing and turned to leave.

The girl with the camera supported her with great concern and looked back in a panic.

What does Fang Yi mean by this? How can she still smile! Why are they so close!

The young lady had always followed the tyrannical policy of “only the official is allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps.” She was instantly furious, and her small high heels clicked on the ground. She strode gracefully like a whirlwind and chased after her.

She didn’t take the wide road, but viciously stepped on Fang Yi’s shoe.

The thin, red high heel stepped on the pure black leather shoe. The woman winced in pain and let out a muffled grunt. She turned around, and Lin Shuxing finally saw that overly pale face.

The young lady was stunned for a moment, and her gaze quickly settled on Fang Yi’s tightly held arm. She couldn’t help but say anxiously, “Don’t grab her left hand. Don’t you know she has a fracture!”

Fang Yi shook her head. “It has nothing to do with her.”

“You can go first. Sorry to trouble you.” She passed by Lin Shuxing and gave the junior an apologetic look.

The junior immediately and carefully held her camera and hid a little further away, secretly peeking out with a pair of eyes.

Fang Yi looked down at the nervous young lady in front of her. Too many strange thoughts were rising and falling in her heart, but her lips opened and closed, and she just said, “Congratulations on your admission, Lin Shuxing.”

This sentence was said without any fluctuation. She had rarely called her by her full name, and her tone could be considered sincere. In an instant, it made the young lady’s eyes turn red.

The young lady looked up and glared at Fang Yi. The corners of her reddened eyes were coated with a layer of red glaze, and tears were swirling in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great grievance.

That red high heel was still on Fang Yi’s instep, but just by looking at her expression, anyone would think that the woman was bullying her.

The young lady bit her lip hard. After a brief silence, the villain complained first, and she raised her chin with great pride and stubbornness, and retorted, “Aren’t you going to apologize to me?”

This was their first conversation after a month of cold war.

Fang Yi bent down slightly and met the young lady’s gaze.

Being too close would have a natural sense of pressure, but the familiar scents intertwined, and the warmth sprinkled on her cheeks, which made this sharp-angled face look exceptionally gentle and rational.

The glasses refracted a faint blue light, which dyed the woman’s overly deep black pupils with a hint of an inorganic color.

She quietly looked straight into Lin Shuxing’s eyes through the hazy tears and asked in a low voice:

“Do you want me to apologize?”
