Chapter 1002: He Has Grown Up, Yet Remains the Boy in Her Memories (2)
Even though the two of them were not in the same place, Lu Zhang still helped her a lot. Lu Zhang had always been a gentleman, and the only time he wasn’t was probably when he impulsively confessed to her after high school graduation.
Getting along with Su Weiyi, there was never any overstepping, and those topics that could easily lead to awkwardness were never brought up again by him.
The two of them were like friends. Later, Lu Zhang got a girlfriend in college, and his care for Su Weiyi became less intimate, like an older brother taking care of his little sister.
Even though Lu Zhang eventually broke up with his girlfriend, his relationship with Su Weiyi improved a great deal.
There was no ambiguity, no awkwardness, just like normal friends getting along.
Su Weiyi started working, and Lu Zhang had firmly secured an offer from Imperial College to stay on for his PhD.
Su Weiyi worked in London, and being in the same place, Lu Zhang took even more care of her, but it was still just ordinary interaction, at most like old friends.
Many people, like Sally, mistakenly thought Lu Zhang was Su Weiyi’s boyfriend. Su Weiyi tirelessly explained, and Lu Zhang’s classmates had also misunderstood, but Lu Zhang straightforwardly clarified, which made Su Weiyi feel good.
Soon, Lu Zhang started the car and took them to a somewhat authentic Chinese restaurant in London.
Lu Zhang gentlemanly handed the menu to the two ladies, and Su Weiyi passed it to Sally: "I’m going to the restroom."
When she returned from the restroom, she saw that only Sally was seated at the table. Su Weiyi sat down beside her and asked, "Where’s Lu Zhang?"
"He took a call and had to leave. He said he’d deliver your things to you later."
Lu Zhang was busy with his studies, so Su Weiyi didn’t think much of it. She hadn’t intended for him to pick her up today anyway; Lu Zhang had insisted, so she just went along with it.
"Vivian, Lu isn’t really your boyfriend?"
Su Weiyi didn’t expect Sally to bring this up again. She paused, then shook her head, "He really isn’t."
Sally sighed, "I just asked him the same thing, and he said no. He said you’re not interested in him. Vivian, Lu is great, and you’re not interested? People at the company confessed to you, and you rejected them too. I used to think it was because of Lu, but since it’s not, what kind of man do you like? What kind of man can catch your eye?"
Sally didn’t speak quickly, as if she were searching hard for the right Chinese words in her mind to best express her sentiments.
Su Weiyi lowered her head and took a sip of tea. Her long lashes drooped, and the steam from the tea made her whole face look a bit hazy, extraordinarily gentle and beautiful.
After a while, Su Weiyi slowly put down the teacup. The person she liked?
There was one.
Mature yet childish, rebellious yet proud, lazy yet clever young man.
She once had the best young man by her side. Others naturally fell short in her eyes.
But those past memories, Su Weiyi forced herself not to think about. She once thought, having more memories with Sheng Yanxiao would mean more sweetness when she looked back.
But after they parted, Su Weiyi realized that those memories were not honey, but poison. Even thinking a little bit could make her suffer deeply, heartbroken.
