Chapter 175 Overlap
Huanxing Plaza near the Shanghai International Exhibition Center is still crowded with people during the day. The escalators in the shopping mall are filled with men and women carrying shopping bags and with smiles on their faces. Specialty stores have already started offering discounts to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.
Compared to high-end luxury brand shopping places like the Triangle District and Tianyi Plaza, the branded goods here are more down-to-earth, and there are more brands for young people, so you can often see many college students coming here to shop together.
These college students are young and energetic. When they walk together, they inevitably attract a few more glances from passers-by, especially the tall girl with long flowing hair who is standing at the door of Gate No. 1, wearing black clothes, black pants, and a black mask.
The girl stood there somewhat absent-mindedly, looking across the street from time to time, little aware that she had become a scenery in the eyes of others.
"What a charming young lady."
"My hair is waist-length and in great condition. I can star in shampoo commercials. I'm so envious."
"Look at that young lady? Do you want to go over and get a Feixun?"
"She's been standing there, waiting for someone?"
……
Waiting for someone? Yes and no.
To be precise, she was squatting.
She didn't want to wait until tomorrow morning to take a proper look from a distance to confirm anything. She had to wait and see in advance.
According to her understanding, invitees from other places who are attending tomorrow's cutting-edge artificial intelligence seminar at the venue center will generally stay at the Huatang Hotel opposite Huanxing Plaza.
It is an official five-star hotel, usually used to accommodate guests attending important meetings at the convention and exhibition center.
It takes more than ten hours to fly from Country Y to Magic, and with the jet lag, you must set off a day in advance.
So, she could see him now.
Leng Xuan opened her cell phone to check the time, then looked up at the vehicle that had just stopped in front of the hotel opposite. It seemed to be the hotel's special car to pick up the guest at the airport, right?
Leng Xuan hurriedly tried to look at the person getting off the car, but a figure next to her blocked her view.
"Hello, young lady. I see you've been standing here. What do you need help with?"
"No need." Leng Xuan shook her head, then quickly moved a few steps and changed her position to look at the hotel opposite.
Unfortunately, after just a few seconds of delay, the person who got off the car had already walked quickly into the hotel, and she only had time to see a blurry figure.
Leng Xuan: “…” Damn it!
What if it's him?
Leng Xuan was a little frustrated, but also realized that it seemed a bit inappropriate for her to stand at the entrance of this busy shopping mall. She quickly looked around, then walked to the large square outside the convention and exhibition center opposite, found a bench in the square where she could see the situation at the hotel entrance, sat down and continued to observe.
But she had just sat down for a short while when the originally clear sky turned gloomy.
Damn, it’s going to rain and she didn’t bring an umbrella.
Leng Xuan was dropped off at the subway entrance by a car today, and then she took the subway. For convenience, she didn't bring anything with her except her cell phone. She didn't expect that it would rain again at this moment when the weather was just fine.
Leng Xuan had no choice but to get up and go to the convenience store nearby to buy an umbrella.
She didn't know that just as she ran across the square to buy an umbrella at the convenience store, a figure in a black car on the side of the road subconsciously glanced at her back, then his eyes moved slightly and never moved away.
"Want a place to stop ahead?"
"Boss?"
"You guys go check in at the hotel first, I'll be there later."
**
Wow!
Almost at the moment when Leng Xuan stepped into the convenience store, heavy rain poured down outside, catching many unprepared passers-by off guard and turning them into drowned rats.
Countless figures were running in the rain, and Leng Xuan secretly thanked herself for running fast.
When she bought the umbrella and walked out of the convenience store, the square outside, which was originally crowded with people, was suddenly empty.
The world suddenly became very quiet, and the sound of cars coming and going in the distance seemed to fade away. Leng Xuan walked in the square in the rain with an umbrella, feeling an indescribable tranquility. Looking at the hotel entrance in the distance that was obscured by the rain and became unclear, she suddenly felt that her behavior was a bit stupid.
If she wanted to wait, she should actually get a room and then quietly sit on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, pretending to read a newspaper while waiting. Now standing in the rain with an umbrella and watching was really a bit silly.
Forget it, it’s raining so hard that she should just go back. Anyway, she already roughly knows the location of the Chu Jian Coffee Shop, so she can come early tomorrow to observe secretly.
Leng Xuan, who was about to back out, was just about to walk to the taxi stand next to the square to take a taxi, but unexpectedly he saw a black figure standing on the steps in front of the convention and exhibition center not far away.
Black clothes, black pants, black hair, broad shoulders, narrow waist, tall and straight, handsome facial features cannot be concealed even with a mask, drooping bangs have a casual vibe, holding a large black umbrella in his bony hands, wearing a very familiar wristband on his thin arms, looking around as if he is looking for something? ? !
Oh my God!
brush!
Leng Xuan immediately turned around, lowered her head, pressed down the brim of her umbrella, and then quietly returned towards the convenience store.
She was here to scout the area and wait for someone, not to be caught.
But it seemed too late. In this empty, rainy square, she was so conspicuous in all black and holding a new sky-blue umbrella. The people who were already standing on a high place only turned their heads slightly and caught her figure in an instant with their peripheral vision.
So, before she even reached the convenience store, she heard footsteps behind her and a familiar and pleasant voice: "Leng Leng."
Leng Xuan: "..." She's not? She's really not!
The next second, the phone rang.
"...wait for the wind to blow, wait for the rain to fall, wait for the morning glow to tell me that you are in the distance..."
Leng Xuan, who originally wanted to pretend that I didn't respond and that it wasn't someone calling me, subconsciously raised her phone and looked at the familiar special call reminder page, her face under the mask becoming slightly complicated.
The moment I turned around, my heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. When my eyes met those familiar eyes, all the emotions in my heart disappeared without a trace.
It was our first time meeting, but it felt like we were meeting again after a long separation.
All the feelings of unfamiliarity and disappointment that she was worried about in reality did not exist at all. At one glance, she had the same feeling as when she first saw his photo, as if he was the only one left in the world.
The faint purple in the deep eyes seemed to have a kind of magic that made her want to step over and then...
What she didn't know was that Shen Yu felt the same feeling dozens of times stronger than she did.
With just one glance, he seemed to have finally found the figure he had been searching for for tens of millions of years. His body, mind and soul trembled uncontrollably. He had to suppress the urge to rush up and hug the person in front of him tightly.
Da da……
With the sound of gentle footsteps on water, a tall figure walked in front of Leng Xuan first, and then the big black umbrella gently covered the sky-blue small umbrella she had just bought.
The two figures in the rain also overlapped slightly.
