Chapter 284 - 285: Reunion Of The Past-IV
Instead of replying, Li Lian’s eyes that looked at Zhuang Xuan blinked, "What?" she asked as if she hadn’t caught what he uttered but in truth, she caught his words too well. "How did you come to conclusion?" she asked and Zhuan Xuan tilted his head at her.
"How?" He repeated her words and came to speak, "Isn’t that a question anyone would ask when they meet their old friend?" His eyes then noticed the expression changed in Li Lian. Since long before, Li Lian was someone who could lie and it was very easy for Zhuang Xuan to steer clear through Li Lian’s lie. Like now as he expected when Li Lian asked him back.
"I know better than anyone of how loyal you are when it come to love, I find it hard to believe that you could cut your feeling off from him easily but I guess not easily as one year have passed." added Zhuang Xuan in the end with a hum. That time when they were still in college he was the couple’s cheerleader. When they graduate he thought nothing would be different but now everything was changing. What he believed could never happened took its place.
Then he found out Li Lian’s background but Zhuang Xuan believe no matter from where Li Lian came from or her past, she would be the same Li Lian he know. His view on his best friend would never change.
Li Lian meanwhile, thought that one year didn’t pass on her life and even if other people had experience the changes that one year when she was asleep, she didn’t. It felt like her closing her eyes to only open it again as if she had just passed one night sleep, she thought to herself.
"I guess, you are correct," she smiled, letting Zhuang Xuan to fill her words with his own and at the same time, they arrived at the large door where the dining was, pushing the door open, there was a small commotion happened to the group of people who had entered the dining room was.
While Li Lian and Zhuang Xuan who was falling behind the line, walking in slow steps to talk, didn’t notice what happened until Li Lian’s eyes narrowed at the commotion and her brows raised.
"What’s happening?" asked Li Lian and Zhuang Xuan shrugged his shoulder.
"I’ll go and take a look first." he stated before leaving the place to make his way toward the dining room. There the slight smile he had on the corner of Zhuang Xuan’s lips that made him friendly fell when he saw the person sitting alone in the dining room, seeming as if he had been waiting the entire time.
