"Do you remember that photo we had seen which she had hidden away before?"

"Yes."

Ji Qingying thought for a while and said, "The man in the photo had glasses on and looked very refined."

She pursed her lower lip and whispered, "You know the script writer of Long Years Drama?"

"Yes."

Chen Xinyu replied, "Bo Yu, a well-known master scriptwriter in the circle."

"That's him."

“'What?”

Chen Xinyu looked at her in astonishment.

Looking at the gaze in her eyes which expressed how incredulous the news was, Ji Qingying nodded her head.

"If my memory serves me correctly, it should be him."

Chen Xinyu: "…"

She blinked while trying to digest this news that made her shell-shocked.

"You mean, the man who let Chilu suffer from heartache and went abroad to heal, is Boyu?"

Ji Qingying nodded her head.

" I guess that’s the case, if I am not mistaken."

Chen Xinyu’s pupils trembled as she reached for the lemon tea on the other side and drank two mouthfuls to suppress her shock.

Because of the explosive level of the news, they could not even concentrate on the hot pot.

After leaving the hotpot restaurant, Ji Qingying and Chen Xinyu took a stroll around the mall.

Later when she got home, Ji Qingying suddenly remembered something.

She and Yan Qiuzhi had been keeping in touch with each other and chatting occasionally.

If she remembered right, Yan Qiuzhi had said that Chen Lunan, Bo Yu and Fu Yanzhi knew each other before.

Thinking of that, she flicked her phone on.

Ji Qingying: [Doctor Fu, did you get off work?]

After sending her message, she lowered her head and deactivated her door lock.

Just as the door of her house opened, the door on the other side opened too.

The sound made Ji Qingying turn back subconsciously.

Fu Yanzhi who had just come out of the shower with his hair still dripping wet, stood behind the door.

Ji Qingying's glance, with straight eyes.

The water on the tips of his hair slid down his face, flowed across his smooth jawline, and drifted downward.

She couldn't stop staring and suddenly her mouth went dry.

Fu Yanzhi really had a good figure.

Ji Qingying hadn't just figured it out now.

Previously while he was working out, he wore his casual clothes so she had already noticed.

His entire physique had a very well-defined muscular line, the kind that was robust and yet just perfect.

The clothes were so thin and had a feeling that the wearer was underdressed.

As she pressed on her lower lip and her ears grew red.

She wanted to move her gaze away, but couldn't.

Ji Qingying who was staring straight at Fu Yazhi’s body felt that she was a pervert in that moment.

Fu Yanzhi waited for her to speak, but she had remained silent all this while. Only then did he notice that something was wrong.

When he glanced up he saw that she was staring at him with a flushed face

Fu Yanzhi paused, and swiped a towel from the side to wipe his hair, and asked in a low voice, "Why aren't you talking?"

Ji Qingying suddenly came back to her senses and said, "What?"

“……”

Fu Yanzhi glanced at her meaningfully.

Ji Qingying was slightly embarrassed, pointed then said, "I'll put my things away first and then talk to you okay?"

Fu Yanzhi said nothing.

Ji Qingying understood, pushed open the door into the house, put down the things she bought back at random and then hurriedly went to the adjacent apartment.

The door was open.

As soon as she entered the house, she heard the sound of a hairdryer coming from inside the bedroom.

Ji Qingying didn't rush, she looked around and headed over to the balcony.

The plants that she had asked him to look after, she still hadn't taken them back yet.

The jasmine flowers were still in bloom.

As they swayed under the evening wind under the night they seemed to be dyed in different colors.

Ji Qingying lowered her head to take a sniff.

When he came out of the room, this picture came into Fu Yanzhi’s view.

She was still wearing the same cheongsam she wore to the hospital at noon with her hair pinned behind her ears, revealing the side of her face.

In that bent down posture, her figure was fully accented.

The scene made Fu Yanzhi pause for a bit then he immediately averted his eyes and coughed slightly.

The sound made Ji Qingying return to her senses and she turned around to look at the person who made the sound.

"What time did you get off work?"

"Nine o'clock."

Ji Qingying looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. It showed exactly ten o'clock.

That meant, Fu Yanzhi had just come back.

She nodded and said softly, "So busy."

Fu Yanzhi glanced at her, "You were looking for me for something?"

His words in turn made Ji Qingying look at him amusedly, “Can’t I come to find you if there’s nothing of importance?”

Fu Yanzhi: "……"

That wasn’t what he meant.

Appreciating his chocked-for-words expression for a moment her lips curled into a smile.

“I really do have something today.”

Fu Yanzhi lowered his eyes to look at her.

Ji Qingying hesitated for a while trying to figure out how to go about the topic so that it won’t be abrupt.

After thinking about it, she asked curiously, "I heard from Yan Yan that you and Mr. Chen and Mr. Boyu knew each other before?"

It was a topic beyond his expectations.

Fu Yanzhi looked deep into her eyes and nodded, "Yes."

“From early on”?

Again, Fu Yanzhi nodded his head.

They were fellow students from the same school with different majors but were assigned to the same dorm by mistake in the beginning of the school year.

Although in just a few days Fu Yanzhi had transferred back to the dormitory he was originally supposed to go to, this was how friendship between men worked.

It does not matter how long it took, one could become friends in a minute if they had a good conversation.

After that though Fu Yanzhi got busy with his studies.

But once in a while he will get together with Chen Lunan and the others for a meal or anything similar.

They would recall the more than ten years of time they had known each other for.

He lowered his head and looked at Ji Qingying's eyes that were full of curiosity and added, "University. Why?"

She blinked in surprise, “From that long.”

“En.” Fu Yanzhi looked at her again, "What do you want to know?"

Ji Qingying's eyes flicked around. She turned her head to look at the view of the lake not far away then finally and asked softly, "What was Mr. Boyu's original name back then?”

Fu Yanzhi: “……”

Noticing the silence of the person next to her, Ji Qingying looked over, "You don't know either?"

"Know."

Fu Yanzhi deliberately paused before telling her.

Bo Yu's original name was: Bo Yan.

Ji Qingying nodded with a look that showed she knew.

Following closely, she asked, "Mr. Boyu is so handsome, there must have been a lot of people chasing him in college, right?"

“……”

Fu Yanzhi narrowed his eyes, stared at the person next to him with a deep gaze for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Curious about him?"

Ji Qingying who was thinking about Chi Lu and Boyu and said without a second thought, "Very."

Fu Yanzhi: "…"

Noticing Fu Yanzhi's silence Ji Qingying turned her head to look at him, "Why aren’t you say anything?"

"I don’t know." (anymore than this )

He said calmly, “Didn’t find out.”

Ji Qingying froze in surprise, "You guys are not college friends?"

Fu Yanzhi pursed his lips and still continued calmly, "Not the same major, did not ask.

"…… Oh."
