The grass was bearing its seeds, and the wind was shaking its leaves.
It's perfect for us to just stand there and not talk.
Gu Cheng
At this moment, everything seemed to have stopped.
Whether it was the gentle breeze that gently brushed against the hem of his clothes, the warm sun that sprinkled down from above, or the constant noise of people's voices in his ears, it was as if they did not exist.
It was as if they were the only ones left in the world. They could not feel anything other than the other party's gaze.
Shen Nanshuang looked at Lu Yichen, who was so close to her, as if she was frozen in place.
There was a voice in her heart saying,""Go, he's right in front of you. Go and ask him why he disappeared without a trace back then.”
However, another voice said," Don't go, don't go. He left without saying a word because he doesn't love you anymore. Don't go."”
While Shen Nanshuang was hesitating, Lu Yichen had already moved his gaze away.
Shen Nanshuang watched as Lu Yichen's bodyguards walked up the stairs step by step. She watched as he got closer and closer to her. Then, he brushed past her...
The clear sky seemed to have suddenly turned gloomy at this moment. Even the breeze seemed to be mixed with some coldness.
The familiar aura was right beside him, so close yet so far away that it dissipated with a gust of wind.
The blood in Shen Nanshuang's body froze in that short second, and her entire body emitted a chill…
Shen Nanshuang just stood there without moving. She no longer looked at Lu Yichen who was leaving.
She missed the pitiful gaze behind her.
After Lu Yichen walked into Shangpin Lan's main door, he stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Shen Nanshuang's back through the thick glass door.
She was wearing a white cotton dress and a pair of white canvas shoes. Her long black hair was casually scattered over her shoulders, fluttering in the autumn wind.
She was like an abandoned child. Even her back was filled with helplessness and loneliness.
Lu Yichen clenched his fists by his side unconsciously, but when he thought of the tragic death of Shen Nanshuang's father a few years ago, he felt endless guilt and remorse.
"Mr. Lu, we should go and make preparations.”A person in charge of the competition reminded him.
Lu Yichen nodded and followed the staff's lead...
Half an hour later, the competition officially began. Each contestant drew their own number plate and was divided into ten groups. Each group had five people, and each group competed against each other.
During the competition, everyone had two different glasses of wine in front of them. After tasting the wine, everyone had to write down the type and year of the wine on the electronic answer board within five minutes, and then describe the taste and characteristics of the wine.
If you don't answer within the specified time, you will be eliminated immediately.
Shen Nanshuang drew number 12. She followed the third group into the arena.
Lu Yichen sat at the judges 'table. Shen Nanshuang looked at him again.
Lu Yichen glanced at her face as if he was looking at a stranger, then lowered his head to look at the information.
He casually picked up his phone and sent a text message to Fang Zhenyu, who was sitting in the corner.
Shen Nanshuang knew nothing about this. She lowered her head and looked at the wine in front of her.
After a while, the staff shouted,"Number 25, Shen Nanshuang, it's your turn.”
Shen Nanshuang suppressed the throbbing in her heart and took a sip of the wine. It was a taste she knew very well.
As a professional red wine connoisseur, she should have blurted out the name of such a popular wine, but at this moment, Shen Nanshuang could not remember it at all.
She picked up another glass of wine and gently swirled it before taking a sip. It was the same red wine that she had drunk countless times when she was practicing. However, her mind seemed to be blank at this moment, and she could not remember anything.
The answer was obvious, but it was unclear.
Lu Yichen, who had been paying attention to her, could not help but sweat when he saw her confused look.
"Miss Shen, please answer." Because Shen Nanshuang's answers in the previous two matches were 100% accurate, the staff was especially polite to her.
However, Shen Nanshuang frowned and remained silent.
Five minutes had passed. Other than her face turning slightly pale, she did not show any other reaction.
"Miss Shen, unfortunately, you have been eliminated. Please leave the arena.”A staff member in a suit walked to Shen Nanshuang's side and gestured for her to come in.
Shen Nanshuang endured the pain in her head and followed the staff member out.
Xiao Zimo had been waiting for her outside. When he saw her walk out with a pale face, he immediately went up to her."What's wrong? Shuang Shuang, why is your face so pale? Are you feeling unwell?”
Shen Nanshuang shook her head." I'm fine. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night."”
Xiao Zimo was about to ask something when his phone suddenly rang.
"Hello? Dad, what is it?" Xiao Zimo said lazily.
Shen Nanshuang didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone. In the next moment, he became extremely nervous."What is it? How was it? I'll be right back."
After hanging up, Xiao Zimo said to Shen Nanshuang,""Shuang Shuang, my grandmother had a heart attack. She's not in good condition. Can you go back by yourself?”
Shen Nanshuang waved at him,"Then you should go back quickly. I'm fine."”
Xiao Zimo glanced at her worriedly before dashing out.
Shen Nanshuang rubbed her aching head and walked out slowly.
The outside world was the same as when they came. The warm sunlight and the gentle autumn wind caressed everyone's faces.
Shen Nanshuang stopped at the stairs by the door again. She looked at the spot where Lu Yichen had been standing and walked over.
Shen Nanshuang reached out her hand to catch a trace of Lu Yichen's aura, but she could only catch nothing.
The headache made her a little dazed. Shen Nanshuang slowly squatted down and sat on the stone steps.
The surroundings were silent. Shen Nanshuang reached out to stroke her shadow. Suddenly, her vision became blurry. A teardrop fell onto the ground, leaving a small water stain.
After sitting for a while, Shen Nanshuang stood up and wanted to leave.
However, after sitting for a long time and suddenly getting up, Shen Nanshuang suddenly felt dizzy and her vision went black. She staggered and fell down, her hands instinctively reaching behind her…
At this moment, a figure behind Shen Nanshuang rushed over and grabbed her hand, pulling her into his embrace. He used his arms and body to protect her.
However, due to inertia, the two of them still rolled down the stairs.
With a loud bang, Lu Yichen's head hit the floor, and the two of them stopped rolling.
Lu Yichen did not have time to care about his injuries. He sat up with Shen Nanshuang in his arms and examined her from head to toe,""How is it? Are you hurt?"
Shen Nanshuang stood there in shock.
Lu Yichen turned to look at her in confusion, but he forgot to react when he saw Shen Nanshuang's red eyes…
