Meeting him again
Unknowingly, the time for receiving the diplomatic mission drew near. During this time, Duan Shu Xian had done her homework. She was studying English every day and had enrolled in two small languages. To her, she didn't have the heart to talk about feelings.
To enrich oneself in work and find the beauty of life.
Her job at the museum had given her the value of her life and the significance of her work. Her salary was also not bad, and every day, she would come into contact with a different group of people, making her more cheerful.
In a blink of an eye, another year's spring had arrived. Bai Xia got up in the morning and her father bought her a bicycle. Although it wasn't expensive, it made it more convenient for her to travel. She habitually slept early in the morning and slept soundly during her work and rest. Even if young people enjoyed staying up late in the night with all kinds of uninterrupted nightlife and enjoyed the stimulation and pa.s.sion of youth, this was something that could not be found on Duan Shu Xian because she had been raised since childhood.
Good habits, and her self-discipline.
In the early morning, there was a trace of mist floating in the air. The smell of spring was very distinct. The tender green color could be seen everywhere, and people's hearts couldn't help but feel happy along with it.
While waiting for the traffic lights, Duan Shu Xian's mind was in a daze for a few seconds. Looking at the street with the trees, her mind immediately went back to the school a year ago, where she met Xi Jingchen.
He had asked her to bring him around to familiarize him with the surroundings. That day, she had led him extremely excitedly, and at that time, she didn't have any pressure or burden in her heart, so she didn't even know who the man she was leading was.
All she knew was that the day's scenery was very beautiful, and she was also having a wonderful time.
Duan Shu Xian pursed her lips and smiled as she thought about it. She probably met him in the spring, so when spring came, it was hard for her to suppress her emotions. Occasionally, she would run out, and she would also be in a daze from time to time, giggling foolishly. After knowing him, a year had pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Time pa.s.sed really quickly! But why was it so hard for her to forget him? "When I drink coffee, I will think of his coffee, and when I eat dessert, I will think of his dessert."
A few trips to the library would make him long to meet him on some bookshelf.
Even though they had only been together for a short time, his figure had seeped into every aspect of her life and was unforgettable.
At this moment, the green light appeared. Duan Shu Xian stepped on the throttle, and her train of thought was cleared. She had now learnt how to restrain herself and put down the light. Perhaps, her mind had matured even more.
Duan Shumin never sought her out again, but during every family banquet, she would ask her if she could contact Xi Jingchen. Duan Shu Xian had wors.h.i.+pped her before, but now, she felt that the heart was the most important.
Even though she was clearly a member of a clan, and was a relative, she could not bear to see Duan Shumin live a better life than Duan Shumin. In fact, she even tyrannically thought that she would not be able to live a better life than.
Duan Shu Xian also calmly looked on. It's just that during this year, when Aunt and Grandfather were eating, they wouldn't bring up the topic of Duan Shumin becoming the future, because everyone knew that her chances of success were slim.
On the contrary, every time Song Meilan brought it up, Duan Shumin would interrupt her and not let her bring it up again, because Duan Shumin knew that if she brought it up again, she would only make Duan Shu Xian laugh.
She had a secret that she had rejected Xi Jingchen before. Duan Shu Xian arrived at the museum and parked her car. She walked through the employee entrance, wearing a dark and appropriate suit and a comfortable blue silk scarf. Her hair was tied behind her head, making her young and elegant face appear even more three-dimensional in appearance.
It made sense.
The light and elegant makeup accentuated her professional vibe, and the self-confidence she unwittingly exuded became even more mesmerizing.
There were only three days left before the reception of the diplomatic mission. The entire museum's staff was fully focused as they tidied up the deficiencies and repaired important cultural relics, hoping that they would be able to show themselves before the diplomatic mission arrived.
Naturally, Duan Shu Xian didn't have the strength to become the host of the main force this time around. She became a footman, serving the members of the diplomatic mission. This was enough of an honor for her. Time pa.s.sed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the day to receive the diplomatic mission arrived. Duan Shu Xian only knew that there were more members in the diplomatic mission and that their ident.i.ties were important in other countries.
Slow. Duan Shu Xian arrived at 6: 30 in the morning. She was accompanied by 11 other staff members. This time, there were 12 of them, plus the three main lecturers, the curator, the a.s.sistant curator and the two important staff members who were to accompany the delegation on their tours.
After the meeting ended, in the breakfast room, Duan Shu Xian heard the sisters beside her telling jokes. One of them said to them in a rather experienced manner, "You guys have to perform well today! He might even have a young and handsome big brother! This is how my elder sister met her chosen one. She was born into the third generation, how domineering!
"Status."
"Wow!" The other sisters immediately looked forward to it.
"If only we had the same luck."
"That's right!" I don't have a boyfriend yet! And my family wants me to marry a politician! "
Duan Shu Xian chatted and laughed with them everyday and felt full of expectation. However, she didn't have any expectations because she didn't have the mood to date. She only wanted to work.
"Shu Xian, you have a better chance than us!" You're the prettiest here. "
Duan Shu Xian smiled as she shook her head, "I've never thought of this kind of thing. This kind of luck wouldn't fall on me."
"How is this possible!?" Fate comes and goes, sometimes unknowingly. "
It was eight o'clock when he arrived at the door of the reception room, for it was a grand reception, and the curator, who stood at the door, looked at the time several times, and he took it very seriously.
"Did you get a call?"
"No phone call." The a.s.sistant director shook his head.
It was almost 9 P.M. Finally, the Deputy Director received the notice that the diplomatic mission's car was heading this way. It would be here in 20 minutes.
When Duan Shu Xian heard this, she couldn't help but lightly weigh her foot that was still standing still. She must still be standing on guard with her shoes that were a few centimeters tall.
Twenty minutes seemed like a long time. Finally, the iron bars of the gates opened and a line of six cars drove in. There were also four escort vehicles.
However, behind the escort car, another black car drove in. Behind the car, there were still four black cars.
Duan Shu Xian looked at the car that followed. Her heart couldn't help but be tugged by something. This scene was familiar. She couldn't help but feel bitter.
Why did she think of him again?
Just as Duan Shu Xian was laughing bitterly, she saw a middle-aged man walk quickly to the front of the curator that was welcoming her. Hearing something, the curator's expression changed and he immediately walked quickly to one of the cars.
He did not even care about the group of people who got off the diplomatic mission, because he had more important people to welcome him. He conveniently arranged the a.s.sistant curator to go over to see the people from the diplomatic mission. All he saw was a uniform line of bodyguards stepping down from the car. The back door of the second car was opened by the bodyguards.
do.
Duan Shu Xian looked at the group of people surrounding someone as they got off the car. Since they were all blocked, she only saw the curator standing outside, bowing and greeting someone.
One of the female officers beside Duan Shu Xian said in a low voice, "There must be a very important person in attendance."
Duan Shu Xian looked around nervously, wondering who it was.
As she was lost in thought, she saw a group of people and a group of foreign delegates walking towards the main gate. Under the bright sunlight, the group dispersed and stood in an orderly manner. As the layer after layer of personnel retreated, a slender and handsome figure could be seen beside the group of diplomatic mission. He was young and handsome, with an extraordinary bearing.
The aura of a clan was graceful as if it were made of nature itself.
Duan Shu Xian's gaze widened as she held her breath. Her mind was blank as she stared at the group of people walking over. No, her gaze was fixated on the figure walking over. Never in her dreams did she expect that the person accompanying this group of diplomatic mission would be Xi Jingchen. They hadn't seen each other for eight months, but to her, it felt like a century had pa.s.sed.
