<h4>Chapter 455 Old Song, You“re A Nice Person. Just Take It As You“re Doing Good</h4>
“What? You make it sound as if I was difficult to get along with in the past.” Li Shaobin was a little unhappy.
Zhou Shuyun was silent for a while before she said with a smile, “Back then, you always gave people the feeling that you were indecent and that you always liked to cause trouble. You were so fierce and a little intimidating.”
“Really?” Li Shaobin stroked his head. He thought that he had done his best to be gentle in front of her but he didn’t say that aloud. After all, that was all in the past. “You just didn’t know me.”
“That’s true. I was too young then and hadn’t experienced much, so I felt scared when I saw boys fighting,” Zhou Shuyun said.
Li Shaobin suddenly understood. “Oh, so you only rejected me because... you saw me fighting?”
Although that was in the past, it was his first time being rejected so he was still curious, especially since he had some resentment towards Xin Ziao because of this for so many years.
“Mm, I guess so,” Zhou Shuyun said.
“But didn’t you like Xin Ziao then?” Li Shaobin felt sorry for her. She didn’t have good taste either. “However, it’s a good thing.”
If she were to continue pining for Xin Ziao, she might end up worse than Ruan Yang.
Zhou Shuyun was stunned. After a long time, she regained her senses. “Is that so? I didn’t think he would change so much. I also felt that what happenedst night was instigated by him. Back then, he was quite close to Xiang Qizhe. Actually, when we went backst night, we were all talking about it. It’s not your fault. Even if they’ve broken up, Xin Ziao shouldn’t be so ungentlemanly. Besides, I think Miss Ruan is also a victim.”
“Exactly.” What she said appealed to Li Shaobin. “He’s just a monster.”
“Yeah, sometimes, when I think back to the time I liked him in high school, I find myself quite silly.” Zhou Shuyun smiled lightly. “Don’t let your thoughts run wild either. I have to go now.”
“Alright, if there are any suitable jobs, I’ll let you know.” Li Shaobin hung up the phone and realized that Hu Zhi had been beside him, watching. He red at Hu Zhi unhappily. “Why haven’t you left yet? Why were you eavesdropping on me?”
Hu Zhi grinned and bowed. “It looks like Boss is quite popr withdies these days. That must’ve been your first love who you saw yesterday. Did she think you’re very handsome and dashing now so she felt something for you and took the initiative to contact you again?”
Li Shaobin red at him. “Stop spouting nonsense. She was just asking about me because of what happenedst night. After all, I got attacked by that dog, Xiang Qizhe, after speaking up for her.”
Hu Zhi’s eyes shook and he said softly, “Boss, don’t tell me you still have feelings for this first love?”
“No. We’re just purely old ssmates now,” Li Shaobin said. “Besides, she’s finally not as shallow as she was during high school. She knows Xin Ziao isn’t a good person and I don’t think she’s someone who can’t tell right from wrong. We’re ssmates anyway. Aye, go ask that Liu Qixian if he has any openings for jobs in the trading field.”
Hu Zhi said, “Boss, you’re even helping her find a job? Would Miss Ruan misunderstand if she found out?”
Li Shaobin snorted. “It would be great if she misunderstood, but she wouldn’t care about all this. It’s nothing. Just a small favor.”
“Alright.”
Liu Qixian called back in the afternoon to say that they happened to be busy with recruitment now that it was the start of the year. Li Shaobin called Zhou Shuyun again and told her to go for an interview in the afternoon.
“Shaobin, I’m so grateful to you. I didn’t think that you would still be so kind even though we haven’t kept in contact for so many years,” Zhou Shuyun said gratefully. “Let me treat you to a meal someday.”
“It’s alright, it’s alright,” Li Shaobin said. “It’s just a small favor. We’d better wait till you get the job first. My friend’s tradingpany isn’t a small firm, so even though I pulled some strings, you won’t be able to get in without the skills.”
“I know that. I’ll definitely do my best.”
——-
Li Shaobin tried very hard to not see Ruan Yang for three days. These three days felt as though there were 10,000 ants crawling all over his body, gnawing at him.
He didn’t feel this way before when he didn’t have a girlfriend. Now that he had one, he couldn’t stand not seeing her even for a day.
However, Ruan Yang refused to pick up when he called her and three days seemed to be his limit. So, he called Song Chuchu. “Old Song, aren’t you going to the States in a couple of days? Why don’t you throw a farewell party tonight and get everyone toe? Tell Changqing to call Ruan Yang too,” Li Shaobin said panderingly. “Let me see her, won’t you?”
Song Chuyi was sitting topless in bed at home, hugging Changqing, who was as soft as a marshmallow. He only wished that she could melt into his body. When he heard Li Shaobin say that, he rolled his eyes silently. “I only have two days. Of course I have to spend these two days with Yan Wo and Changqing. A party is such a waste of time.”
“Aiyo, Old Song, you’re a nice person. Just take it like you’re doing good, alright?” Li Shaobin said panderingly. “I’ll bear all the costs at least.”
“What’s up with you? What happened between the two of you?” Song Chuyi said unhappily.
“Aye, isn’t it because of what happened on the day of the ss reunion?” Li Shaobin told him what happened honestly. “Ruan Yang is punishing me right now. Since you’re about to leave, can’t you just fulfill your brother’s wish? After you leave, I’ll definitely help you keep a close eye on Changqing. If there’s any bees or butterflies around her, I’ll definitely report it to you then help you crush them all.”
“I couldn’t tell that you’re quite useful,” Song Chuyi said helplessly. “Alright, alright, alright. I won’t do a party; that’s too troublesome. I’ll treat you guys to a meal outside.”
“Sure, sure, sure. Old Song, you’re the best,” Li Shaobin said with a grin.
Song Chuyi shuddered. His goosebumps all came out.
He put his phone down and Changqing, who had been leaning on him, looked up at him with her moist eyes. “So Brother Shaobin beat someone up during the ss reunion? What happened?”
“Your ears are quite sharp, eh?” Seeing that he couldn’t hide it from her, Song Chuyi told her the entire story of what happened that night.
“Why didn’t you tell me something so important?” Changqing sat up angrily. “Xin Ziao is such a monster in human’s clothing. I used to think that he was a scumbag but at least his feelings towards Ruan Yang were true. Right now, he’s just too shameless.”
Song Chuyi ran his fingers through her hair and remained silent. They were about to part and he only wanted to stay quietly like this with her for two days.
“However, I’m afraid we won’t be able to help Brother Shaobin with this,” Changqing suddenly said. “Scriptwriter Liang invited her to hike up Mount Huang to watch the sunrise yesterday and she left in the morning. It’ll probably be three days before she returns.”z
