Autumn Tale 7.3

“Hi, xiao s.h.i.+mei”

After Xia Liang finished her midterm exams, she still didn’t have much free time.  She was sitting in the lobby of the Business School with senior students discussing the next research project when their conversation was interrupted by a clear male voice.

Several people sitting around stopped their discussion and instinctively looked towards the entrance.  Xia Liang, too, was looking for the person calling her.  Though she was the youngest, just a soph.o.m.ore, she took cla.s.ses with junior and senior students due to her double major requirement.  Once she heard someone call for “xiao s.h.i.+mei”, she automatically a.s.sumed that they were calling her.

There were several Chinese members in their group.  So it was not a surprise to them when they heard the term.

Xia Liang looked at the door and saw a face she was not familiar with.  She searched her brain for quite a while before she remembered that this man seemed to be one of the guys that sat next to Song Qiyan in the library that one day.

Xia Liang stood up and gave a friendly smile, “How are you, s.h.i.+xiong.”

Wei Jian was straightforward, “How are you.  I am Wei Jian.  I am a first year student in the Clinical Medicine PhD program this year.”

First year……?

Xia Liang had felt that Wei Jian obviously was several years older than Song Qiyan.  If she remembered correctly, Song Qiyan had told her that he was already in the second year of the PhD program?

Wei Jian naturally recognized the doubt in Xia Liang’s eyes.  He felt frustrated.  “Xia Liang xiao s.h.i.+mei, not everyone can be as sharp as your man!” Song was three years younger than he but was one grade higher. Song started school early, skipped grades, and got into this special program, known for its compet.i.tive admissions. It was really unfair.  No wonder all the blonde beauties chased after Song Qiyan.

What did he say……your man?

Xia Liang stuck out her tongue in embarra.s.sment, “Oh, s.h.i.+xiong, were you looking for me?”

“Ah? What..….”  Wei Jian rolled his eyes as if saying “I was trying very hard to find an excuse.”

“It is……”  What should he say.  Should he say frankly that he was very curious about what kind of a girl who could attract Song Qiyan, the man who wouldn’t be interested in anyone for thousands of years?

“Jeffrey.”  The sound came from the doorway behind Wei Jian, which was the sound of fatal attraction to Xia Liang.

“Ke……” Wei Jian had been caught and coughed immediately. “Hi, Qiyan, what brings you here?”

Song Qiyan wore his black hunting cap as usual. He pulled the rim of his cap. “I think, you and I are in the same research team.” So, it was only normal that they both were summoned by their professor.

Wei Jian’s mouth twitched.

The eyes underneath the cap scanned the people in the lobby and stopped on the girl who was standing. He strolled towards her.

Xia Liang blinked her eyes and watched the man walking closer step by step.

“s.h.i.+xiong.”
