BXBX NOVEL Chapter 105: Instantly Lost Soul_i
Hai Xiaotang asked with a smile, “Do you come here often? How did you know these dishes are all the rage?”
Reminiscing about something, Qiao Ning smiled and said, “Uh huh, I used to come here a long time ago.”
Back then, her ‘big brother’, treated her very well, and would take her to enjoy all kinds of delicious food.
But later…
Unwilling to pursue that train of thought further, Qiao Ning steered the conversation with Hai Xiaotang in a different direction.
The food arrived quickly and they chatted as they started to eat.
Hai Xiaotang talked about her desire to attend university, and Qiao Ning suggested, “You should come to our school. Maybe we could end up being classmates.”
” What’s your major?” Hai Xiaotang asked.
“I’m studying film and television. I plan to be a director in the future.”
“Wow, that’s impressive?”
Qiao Ning nodded shyly, “Being a director has always been my dream. But the kind of movies I want to make are different from others…”
“How are they different?”
When talking about her hobbies, Qiao Ning notched up an enthusiastic pace, “I want to make small and warm films; films free from sadness and hardships, filled only with sunshine and happiness…”
Hai Xiaotang listened with a dreamy expression.
Why did Qiao Ning’s dream seem so beautiful to her?
Why didn’t she have such a beautiful dream of her own?
“Xiaotang, do you like movies? Maybe you could study together with me.”
Hai Xiaotang laughed awkwardly, “I’m not sure what I want to do yet. Let me think about it…”
In fact, she simply didn’t have any career aspirations, and couldn’t understand the way Qiao Ning chased her dreams with such enthusiasm.
Qiao Ning laughed and said, “Just make sure to choose a major you’re passionate about. After all, it’s enthusiasm and motivation that make learning enjoyable.”
“Hmm…” She just didn’t know what she was passionate about.
“Of course, it would be perfect if we could be classmates in the end.” As soon as Qiao Ning finished speaking, her radiant smile disappeared.
She stared vacantly at a spot in the distance, appearing as if she had momentarily lost her spirit.
Confused, Hai Xiaotang turned her gaze in the same direction, only to spot Chai Xiyang and Lin Xinxin sitting not too far away from them!
The two of them seemed cheerful and the atmosphere around them was jovial.
Hai Xiaotang’s eyes flickered, “Qiao Ning, what’s wrong? Do you know them?”
Qiao Ning snapped back to the reality, laughing nervously, “That man…he’s my ‘big brother’.”
“So, Chai Xiyang is your ‘big brother’,” Hai Xiaotang said in feigned surprise.
Qiao Ning was equally surprised, “You know my ‘big brother’?!”
“Yes! And I know the woman with him, too.”
Qiao Ning became a bit nervous, “Who is she?”
She was afraid of hearing that there might be something more than friendship between Hai Xiaotang and them.
Hai Xiaotang naturally didn’t say so, “Her name is Lin Xinxin. She’s a designer for Dongfang, and seems quite talented.”
Qiao Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and said somewhat self-consolingly, “My ‘big brother’ has a good relationship with the CEO of Dongfang, and often goes to see him. Maybe that Miss Lin is also his friend.”
“They must be friends. If there was something more between them, I surely would have known by now.”
Qiao Ning asked in surprise, “Why?”
Hai Xiaotang said hesitantly, “Because I happen to be the wife of that ‘good buddy’ of your ‘big brother’.”
“You mean Dongfang Yu—” Qiao Ning gasped.
Her exclamation ‘Dongfang Yu’ was so loud that it surprised Chai Xiyang and Lin Xinxin.
The two looked at them, stunned.
Chai Xiyang was surprised to see Qiao Ning and Hai Xiaotang together.
Qiao Ning had already met his gaze, and she shifted her body uncomfortably.
Chai Xiyang suddenly stood up and walked towards them, with Lin Xinxin following close behind.
