Chu Liyuan looked at Jian Dan and his Adams apple bobbed. Just then, Li Jings voice emanated from the phone. Mr. Chu, theres an urgent doc.u.ment that needs your signature.

Later. Im very busy now. Dont disturb me, Chu Liyuan said.

Then, he carried Jian Dan to the rest areapressed the remote control on the coffee tableand pinned Jian Dan under him

Jian Dan never expected that Chu Liyuan would get it on with her right there in the office.

After the vigorous exercise last night, Jian Dan returned to school exhausted the next day. She was walking on campus when she suddenly heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw Xia Mengjiao? Jian Dan called out.

Jian Dan! Mengjiao ran to Jian Dan, beaming.

Xia Mengjiao was Jian Dans junior high school cla.s.smate. They even went to high school together. However, Jian Dan did not finish her first year of high school and went straight to college. After that, they did not see each other again.

I saw you in cla.s.s yesterday, Xia Mengjiao said excitedly. How long has it been since we last saw each other?

In junior high, the two of them were very chummy. After they went their separate ways, they still kept in touch. It was only a year ago that for some reason, Mengjiao stopped contacting her.

Yeah! I havent seen you since I went to college? Jian Dan said with a smile.

Xia Mengjiao hugged Jian Dans arm as she walked. Yeah! Its been so long. Youre already in your fourth year. Ill have to call you senior. Xia Mengjiao teased.

As they chatted and laughed, the two of them arrived at the cla.s.sroom. Xia Mengjiao found a seat and sat down. Jian Dan was on the podium preparing the teaching materials for todays lesson.

After the cla.s.s ended, the two of them agreed to eat hotpot together at night After that, Jian Dan continued to train Jian Dans standing long jumps and sit-ups were barely pa.s.sable. As for the 50m and 800m sprints, she had been unable to pa.s.s at all.

Jian Dan was training when someone suddenly appeared beside her

Jian Dan looked at Ling Xiaoyang curiously. Are you here to train too?

Ling Xiaoyang looked at Jian Dan and said with a smile, Your training aint gonna cut it.

Huh? Jian Dan stopped what she was doing and looked at Ling Xiaoyang.

Im an athlete. All sports are a piece of cake for me. If I help you, I guarantee that youll pa.s.s, Ling Xiaoyang suggested to Jian Dan.

Jian Dan looked at Ling Xiaoyang hesitantly. Can you really help me to pa.s.s? You dont believe me? Ling Xiaoyang asked when he saw Jian Dans disbelief.

Ling Xiaoyang picked up a basketball in the ball cart and hit a long shot. Surprise was written all over Jian Dans face because it was an incredible shot; it was a near full-court heave, far beyond the three-point line.

Jian Dan thought to herself that she had been training for so long without any improvement. From the looks of it, he seemed to be really good. There did not seem to be any harm in trying.

Are you sure? Its not easy to be my teacher. You might find yourself wanting to bash your head against the wall. Jian Dan knew herself very well.

Are you doubting my ability?

No, no! 1 just dont have much confidence in mine. Jian Dan smiled awkwardly.

Just trust me, Ling Xiaoyang said confidently.

Ling Xiaoyang looked at Jian Dans smiling face, and his heart beat unusually fast

Ling Xiaoyang had had so many girlfriends, but he had never had such a feeling. For some reason, he had an unknown fascination with Jian Dan. Jian Dan was not the kind of beauty who would dazzle people at a glance. She could only be considered sweet-looking, but Ling Xiaoyang fell for her at first sight.

Ling Xiaoyang knew his parents love story very well, but he always felt that his father was exaggerating. After all, he had been in so many relations.h.i.+ps himself. But now that it had really happened to him, he finally understood his fathers feelings back then.

In order to facilitate future contact, the two of them added each other on WeChat. After that, Jian Dan left first

When Jian Dan arrived at the campus gate, Xia Mengjiao was already waiting there. Im sorry for making you wait. Have you been here long? Jian Dan said apologetically.

I just arrived. Lets go! Xia Mengjiao waved her hand.

The two of them arrived at a hotpot place near the campus.

As they ate, the two of them reminisced about from junior high.

Mengjiao, is your brother also in J University? Jian Dan asked.

Xia Mengjiaos expression suddenly changed. After a long time, she said, No!

Oh! Thats right. He wants to be a lawyer, so he should be in law school, right? Jian Dan said.

Yes Yes.. Xia Mengjiao said in a rather weird tone.

Jian Dan could tell that Xia Mengjiao did not want to say too much, so she did not ask further. After the meal, the two of them went their separate ways.

Ever since Mengmeng became Fang Hes manager, she had been very busy. Jian Dan had not seen her in a long time. Coincidentally, Mengmeng was free this weekend, so the two of them went shopping.

Mengmeng! Jian Dan gave Mengmeng a bear hug. Long time no see. I miss you so much! Jian Dan teased.

Sigh! It cant be helped! Fang Hes schedule is jam-packed, Mengmeng explained helplessly.

Alright, I know youre busy! Jian Dan smiled.

The two of them shopped, ate, and even went to the KTV Before they parted ways, Mengmeng gave Jian Dan two tickets for the premiere of Fanghes movie and asked her to bring Chu Liyuan along.

Jian Dan was about to take a cab home when she saw Xia Mengjiao at a nightclub! Xia Mengjiao was tussling with a drunk man at the entrance of the nightclub. When Xia Mengjiao saw Jian Dan, her face fell and she left quickly.

By the time Jian Dan got there, Mengjiao was long gone. Hence, she suspected that her eyes were playing tricks on her

The next dayat around nine oclockJian Dan was about to go home from campus when her cell phone rang When she answered it, Mengjiaos anxious voice emanated from the other end. Jian Dan, I All Mengjiaos scream emanated from the cell phone.

Jian Dan frowned and asked, Where are you?

Im at Heaven on Earth, Mengjiao replied.

Heaven on Earth was where Jian Dan saw her last night. Jian Dan immediately felt that something was amiss. She picked up her bag and ran out of the campus

Jian Dan called Chu Liyuan on the way, but no one picked up. She tried Li Jing, but no one picked up either.

Chu Liyuan was in a meeting with the companys senior management. He left his cell phone in his office.

Jian Dan could only send a message over. She rushed over first Fortunately, Heaven on Earth was not far from J University and only took five minutes by cab

Jian Dan dashed into Heaven on Earth. The lighting inside was dim, and a scantily-clad woman was cavorting on the stage. The air reeked with the stench of cigarettes and alcohol, making Jian Dan frown and subconsciously cover her mouth and nose.

Jian Dan only knew the exact location of the washroom after asking one of the staff. Jian Dan was about to go there when she saw Mengjiao being dragged out of the washroom by a man, followed by a group of people.

Jian Dan casually picked up a wine bottle near her and walked over Let go of her. Jian Dan suppressed the fear in her heart and said.

Oh, here comes another hot chick, the leader of the group said.

Jian Dan looked at this group of people with vigilance. Let Mengjiao go. Jian Dan said again.

Jian Dan, leave quickly. Xia Mengjiao was very rueful; she should not have called Jian Dan.

Leave? Haha! Its not your place to meddle in other peoples business. Since youre here, dont leave, the leader said lasciviously.

Xia Mengjiao was filled with regret.. She had implicated Jian Dan
