Chapter 43: Nothing Special
"So… she just left?" Feng Ming froze, watching Bei Wei leave the table.
This was completely different from what he had imagined.
He had prepared a whole pile of heartfelt words… yet he didn't even get the chance to say them?
"Well… Gu Jiani?" Feng Ming forced an awkward smile and looked at Gu Jiani.
"Don't ask me anymore, Senior Feng. I could only help up to this point. You saw it yourself-Bei Wei and her boyfriend actually have a pretty good relationship," Gu Jiani said tactfully.
Doing this kind of thing was already a bit improper to begin with, and now that her best friend's attitude was so firm…
Wouldn't she just end up offending both sides and become the meddlesome one?
"Alright then. Thanks anyway," Feng Ming said unwillingly as he stood up and left the table.
Gu Jiani thought for a moment, then also picked up her bag and left.
At the entrance of the pedestrian street, the two of them stopped almost at the same time.
Feng Ming clenched his fists tightly, staring at the two figures embracing not far away.
Bei Wei looked sweet and happy, standing on tiptoe to actively ask for a kiss from a tall boy… the two of them looked incredibly well matched.
Beside them, the dazzling blue Bentley that the boy casually shut the door of looked extremely handsome. The winged [B] emblem was striking, almost stabbing straight into his heart.
So this was Bei Wei's boyfriend?
He suddenly felt lost and dejected, as if something inside him had been instantly pulled away.
Empty…
He knew he had no chance anymore.
"Has your cold gotten better? And you're already out shopping?" Zhang Yang took out the Louis Vuitton bag he had just bought for Bei Wei from the Bentley. "Here, I picked this out for you earlier. Your Coach bag can finally retire."
"This is… LV?" Bei Wei froze for a moment, then her eyes burst with surprise. "It's too expensive, Brother Zhang. I can't accept this."
"If I'm giving it to you, then just take it," Zhang Yang said, leaning against the car while glancing at the two figures not far away.
Gu Jiani, and another one-that must be the campus heartthrob?
Tall, thin, and fair-looking. Probably the type girls liked. But now that he looked back at it, the opponent who once seemed unbeatable during his student days… was just that.
This was what they meant by [A line from a famous Tang dynasty poem by Li Bai meaning that difficulties and hardships have already been left behind and one has moved beyond them.].
"Can you take me for a drive, Brother Zhang?" Bei Wei stood beside Zhang Yang's new Bentley with her black hair over her shoulders, holding the bag. Her eyes were filled with nothing but endless tenderness.
"Get in," Zhang Yang said with a smile, opening the car door and watching Bei Wei become the first-no, second passenger in the front seat of this car.
Sitting inside the Bentley Continental GT, carrying the sweet Bei Wei with him, Zhang Yang sped away in the Bentley.
The two people left behind stood there silently for a long time.
Feng Ming's palms were sweating. Aside from lingering fear, what he felt most was relief.
Where had he gotten the confidence to come here and try? Was he planning to crash and shatter himself? To humiliate himself?
Luckily… the other guy hadn't even put him in his eyes.
Feng Ming, who had always been popular, felt his face burning for the first time, yet his heart suddenly felt much lighter.
"I'm doomed," Gu Jiani muttered beside him as she crouched down and covered her face, cursing herself a thousand times in her heart.
Idiot! Moron!
Gu Jiani, you really worked hard only to gain nothing-lifting a stone only to drop it on your own foot!
"Gu Jiani…" Feng Ming rubbed his hands awkwardly beside her. He knew he had caused her trouble, but the only thing he could do now was give a dry smile to ease the embarrassment in his heart.
"Just go! Senior Feng!" Gu Jiani buried her head in her arms without even looking up.
Feng Ming's expression changed several times. After thinking about it, he quietly left without another word.
~~~~~
The Bentley sped through the streets of Shanghai.
Sitting inside the Bentley Continental GT, everything within reach felt warm and luxurious.
In his ears, besides the low roar of the W12 engine, was the immersive surround music from the Bang & Olufsen for Bentley sound system.
'If I were successful in my youth without feeling inferior…'
'Knowing what is truly precious…'
Bei Wei softly hummed the song in the passenger seat. Her sweet face perfectly matched the front seat of the Bentley.
Zhang Yang, who had achieved success in his youth and was driving a Bentley, felt an immense sense of satisfaction in his heart.
He gently stepped on the brake and parked the Bentley on a quiet roadside. Looking at Bei Wei beside him, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, he leaned over, gently slipping a hand through her hair and naturally kissed her.
Bei Wei's face turned red as she wrapped her arms lightly around his neck, responding to him again and again.
"Brother Zhang, my cold isn't fully gone yet. Aren't you afraid of catching it?" After a long while, Bei Wei pressed lightly against Zhang Yang's chest and asked.
"Ah… my immunity should be pretty good, right?" Zhang Yang hadn't thought of that. With his current physical condition, surely a small cold wouldn't knock him down.
"Oh right, just now…" Bei Wei bit her lip, recalling what had happened earlier, hesitating to speak.
She didn't know whether she should explain that strange encounter just now. Thinking about it made her annoyed. Everything between her and Zhang Yang had been progressing so well, yet Gu Jiani had to meddle.
What if Brother Zhang misunderstood?
"You mean just now, the guy beside Gu Jiani?" Zhang Yang chuckled. "Let me guess-your school's campus heartthrob back then?"
"Brother Zhang, actually…" Bei Wei panicked slightly and wanted to explain.
"Alright, alright. No need to explain. It's not important," Zhang Yang said indifferently.
When facing a so-called opponent who was completely crushed by him… was that even worth taking seriously? What a joke. At most, it was probably just a so-called chance encounter arranged by Gu Jiani.
The result had already been achieved. The process wasn't important at all.
He truly didn't need to understand every cause and effect. What for? Besides, what Gu Jiani said might not even be entirely trustworthy. Who knew if she had exaggerated things just to make him back off?
Being trusted unconditionally by Zhang Yang made warmth instantly spread through Bei Wei's heart.
"You gave me a gift, so I want to give you a gift too," Bei Wei suddenly gathered her courage and said while looking into Zhang Yang's clear eyes.
"A gift?" Zhang Yang blinked and looked at Bei Wei beside him.
The sweet girl in front of him had a face full of blush, looking completely ready to be cherished. A thought instantly flashed through Zhang Yang's mind.
Could it be… that kind of gift?
To be honest, since their relationship became clear, it had already been a month.
Not particularly long, but not short either-especially considering Zhang Yang hadn't been rushing things.
"Then… should we go to a hotel?" Zhang Yang asked tentatively.
Bei Wei gave a soft 'mm', turning her head away shyly.
A moment later, Zhang Yang drove the Bentley Continental GT with Bei Wei inside, heading straight toward their destination.
At a time like this, and since he wasn't short of money, he naturally wouldn't just find some random hotel. After checking the address, Zhang Yang deliberately chose the Bulgari Hotel by the [A river flowing through central Shanghai, historically important and now known for scenic urban views.].
Most of a person's memories were long and useless. What people truly remembered were those particularly important moments and fragments.
So he wanted today's memory to be perfect-to become a moment worth remembering in both of their lives.
