Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The following day, when Su Qianxun arrived at campus, she was extremely eager to finish the necktie. She put the last stitch on the tie and ironed it neatly, and the beautiful as well as special necktie was completed.
Su Qianxun looked at the necktie. Every single stitch on it was her handiwork. She gently placed her fingers on the tiny flower at the bottom of the die. She then carefully placed the necktie into the box which she had meticulously decorated.
Su Qianxun put the box in her backpack. She was imagining the scene where she would personally put on the necktie for Long Sijue. She was actually surprised to realize that there were butterflies in her stomach.
Gu Mian was also present when Su Qianxun returned to the lecture hall. It was clear that Gu Mian’s mood was much better than it was two days ago.
The two of them went to the washroom together during a break between lectures. Gu Mian came clean to Su Qianxun about the fact that she was already divorced. She also told Su Qianxun about Lu Ming trying to win her heart back again.
Su Qianxun was shocked when she heard what Gu Mian said. She did not know what to say for a moment.
“Do you still love Lu Ming?” Su Qianxun gazed at her with a complicated look in her eyes.
“He was my first love… the best memory buried deep down in my heart… I don’t know what kind of feelings I have towards him at the moment either… I don’t want to think too much for the moment. I’m just letting this work out naturally.”
“Yes, stop thinking so much. Everything will pass in the end.” Su Qianxun gave her a comforting hug.
After the classes, Su Qianxun and Gu Mian walked out of campus together. Suddenly, a man ran by Su Qianxun and snatched her backpack from her.
Su Qianxun was shocked for a moment. She responded by immediately screaming her lungs out. “Snatch theft! Snatch theft!”
Gu Mian was shocked as well. Su Qianxun hurriedly went after the man. When Gu Mian saw this, she immediately joined Su Qianxun in running after the man as well.
The thought that Long Sijue’s necktie was in her backpack crossed Su Qianxun’s mind. She had to get the backpack back from the snatch thief no matter what.
The two girls had run through at least four different streets as they went after the snatch thief. But the snatch thief had vanished from their sight. By the time Gu Mian caught up with Su Qianxun, she was already out of breath. She asked, “Where… where… is that man?”
Su Qianxun looked around anxiously, and saw that the man who snatched her backpack was standing at the first junction to her left. He turned and started running again after he noticed that he was spotted.
“There…” Su Qianxun began to go after the man again. Gu Mian found Su Qianxun’s behavior a little odd, but she did not have time to ask about it. All she could do was to run after the snatch thief along with Su Qianxun.
“Huh? That’s Miss Gu, isn’t it? I saw her going into that alley.”
Long Sijue, Tang Zui, and Si Mancheng had just returned from a work site outside the city. The three of them were talking about the timeline when the driver suddenly spoke.
Tang Zui’s body stiffened for a moment. He said coldly, “I think that there’s something wrong with your eyes!”
“Isn’t the university that Qianxun and Gu Mian attend nearby?” Si Mancheng glanced at Tang Zui.
“Stop being annoying, let’s hurry up and return to the company at once!” Annoyed, Tang Zui casted the blueprint of the building aside.
Su Qianxun and Gu Mian continued going after the man, and they arrived at the fifth floor of an abandoned building. The two women only realized that there was danger the moment they arrived at the rooftop.
There were three other men other than the one who snatched Su Qianxun’s backpack on the rooftop.
Su Qianxun took Gu Mian by the hand. She turned and was about to flee when someone shut the door behind them. Two men who were clad in black and were wearing headgears walked towards them…
When Su Qianxun and Gu Mian saw this, they glanced at each other. In the very next moment, the two young women screamed so loudly that it was as if they were using every single ounce of strength in their bodies.
The men felt as if they were about to go death. They immediately charged at the two young women…
