fiery white rose

Chapter 5
Shen Ye's voice was still so gentle, and his smile was still so familiar, giving Mu Xiaoxi a feeling as if it was yesterday.

She still didn't dare to look back, she pretended to be calm, and said with a tight smile, "Yeah, long time no see, how are you?"

"I've had a great time when someone suddenly disappeared. What about you?"

Seeing Mu Xiaoxi acting like this, Shen Ye secretly smiled, his expression didn't change, just like a normal reunion of old friends.

When Mu Xiaoxi heard this sentence, his eyes turned back, and seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, his eyelids drooped slightly, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

"It turns out...he...hasn't been thinking about me all the time! He deserves it, doesn't he?"

Mu Xiaoxi's body suddenly relaxed, his thoughts turned around, and finally he smiled naturally:

"Fortunately, these years have been going well, no, I found a job in Xuanshan, and this exchange meeting is because of work."

Shen Ye nodded, said "um" to show that he understood, and stopped talking.

The scene turned cold for a while, and neither side knew what to say.

The spectators around looked sideways when they saw this, and the woman who came in behind Mu Xiaoxi showed a thoughtful expression, and said to the beautiful woman in the yellow skirt next to her: "Yilan, aren't you good friends with Shen Ye? Do you know this girl?"

"I knew Shen Ye only three years after he graduated from university. How could I know all the people he knew?"

The woman known as Yilan looked at Mu Xiaoxi's instant answer, but she had a certain guess in her heart.

Yilan moved lightly, dragged the evening dress to Shen Ye's side and gently held Shen Ye's hand, the corner of her mouth curled up beautifully and said: "Chen Ye, who is this? Why don't you introduce me?"

Shen Ye and Mu Xiaoxi frowned slightly at the same time, and evacuated at the same time.

One's eyes were on the arms they were holding, and the other's eyes were on Mu Xiaoxi's face.

Without Shen Ye opening his mouth, Mu Xiaoxi still took the initiative to extend his hand to say hello.

"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Mu Xiaoxi, and Shen Ye are junior high school and high school classmates."

When Yilan heard that it was exactly as she thought, the smile on her face was like a flower blooming, and she reached out to shake Mu Xiaoxi's hand as well.

"Hello, my name is Li Yilan. I met Shen Ye after graduation, and now I am his right-hand man."

The two women looked at each other, as if there were sparks flying, and the hands they held had not been loosened for a long time.

Shen Ye pulled out without a trace and was held by the hand, interrupting the secret fight between the two.

"You also came here for the copyright of the novel, right?"

After finishing speaking, Shen Ye gave Li Yilan a wink, signaling that no more troubles are allowed.

Li Yilan accepted it as soon as she saw it, and let go of her hand with an apologetic smile, then took a step back behind Shen Ye, looking like a good wife.

Mu Xiaoxi's expression was a little gloomy, and he pulled himself together and said, "Yes, but I heard that this writer is difficult to communicate with. You should know quite a few people from your appearance. Have you ever heard of this person?"

"I have heard a little bit, don't worry, I will help you."

With a meaningful smile on the corner of Shen Ye's mouth, he tortured and said something.

Just after finishing speaking, the hotel suddenly plunged into darkness and interrupted the conversation between the two.

Then a beam of light suddenly emerged, focusing on a person.

The person bowed first, and said with a smile in standard Mandarin: "Gentlemen and ladies, good evening, I am the host, and it is a great honor to be here with you. Sincere greetings to everyone!"

The host bowed slightly, and then said: "In the article, we can find too many emotions and stories. In the novel, we can see more expectations and dreams. In the novel, we can see enthusiasm and fearlessness... Today, Let us let our best hopes fly, and talk about our views and prospects on this book. Now I announce the official start of the party, and let us welcome our protagonist, Mr. Shen Ye, with warm applause."

The host waved his hand to the side, and another beam of light appeared.

The person inside was Shen Ye, and Li Yilan was standing behind him. They did not know when they came to the stage.

He smiled slightly and said very gracefully: "A few years ago, I promised someone to say goodbye to my past love with a novel. She was my only hope when I was young, and it was also a dream I couldn't get. Now, I will return the promise to you. You, I will give back my hope to you too. "The Longing for the Sunflower" was written..."

Mu Xiaoxi in the darkness under the stage opened his mouth slightly when he heard the name and muttered to himself, "He really did it."

Looking at the eloquent figure, the corners of her eyes couldn't help getting moist.

He didn't forget, he did it.

While Mu Xiaoxi was deeply moved, Shen Ye's speech gradually ended.

The voice fell silent for a second, and then there was thunderous applause.

The reporter who had sneaked in earlier took the opportunity to ask, "Hi, Mr. Shen, since you have someone you like, is that person with you? If not, do you have a girlfriend?"

As soon as the second half of the question was mentioned, most of the girls present perked up their ears, and if they didn't have a partner, they would have a chance.

Shen Ye didn't answer, but quietly glanced at the dark place, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.

In the end, he said slowly: "I haven't met her since graduation. As for my girlfriend, I think I have one!"

Many girls were saddened when they heard this, and their faces were full of pity.

Mu Xiaoxi was also very sad when she heard that, she came back for him, she didn't expect it to end like this.

I have become a white cloud, but unfortunately I cannot be the white cloud beside you.

Mu Xiaoxi just felt like crying, turned around and left.

Chu Yiyi followed with a worried face, and quietly left the venue.

Shen Ye on the stage didn't know it at all, and was still leading the start of the exchange meeting.

After speaking for about four to five minutes, Shen Ye ended his speech.

He paused slightly and raised his voice slightly.

"That's all I've said. I won't answer the reporter's questions anymore. If you have any questions, please contact my assistant Li Yilan. Thank you for your understanding and support. I wish you all a good time. Now the exchange meeting begins."

After speaking, the neon lights in the hotel lobby flickered, dispelling the darkness.

Shen Ye stepped off the high platform, and Li Yilan began to answer everyone's questions and doubts.

After scanning for a week, Shen Ye restrained his smile, that silly girl was not at the venue, she shouldn't.

He immediately walked towards the door, the girl must have mistakenly thought that her girlfriend was not her, so she left sadly.

Just as Shen Ye was chasing after him, Mu Xiaoxi and Chu Yiyi got into the car. Mu Xiaoxi lay in Chu Yiyi's arms and shrugged her shoulders, making a slight sobbing sound.

Chu Yiyi didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only pat her girlfriend's back lightly, lamenting the impermanence of the world.

The driver glanced at it and didn't know what to think, and after a sigh, he accelerated the speed of the car.
