Chapter 81 Congratulations
Even after one year, Zheng Xiaoguang still recognized him at the first glance. He was Su Han.
When Zheng Xiaoguang saw Su Han, Su Han also saw her.
He wore a cardigan sweater and carried two dishes of fruit. When he saw Zheng Xiaoguang, he looked somewhat confused.
Han Meimei came up and introduced the guys to Zheng Xiaoguang. “Allow me to introduce them to you, Flowing Light. This is my boyfriend Li Lei. This is Son of Heaven.”
After that, she introduced Su Han with a smile, “And this is Never Deeply Attached. You know what. He has come here all the way from S City.”
Zheng Xiaoguang looked at the three men. Li Lei was as tall as Bluegreen-Clad but a little overweight. Son of Heaven was short and thin and looked somewhat haggard. As for Su Han, he did not change very much. He still wore a pair of glasses and looked somewhat bookish.
Over the past year, Zheng Xiaoguang had managed to recover from her failed relationship. Now, she did not mind mentioning the failed relationship or playing online games anymore. Neither did she have to stop herself from thinking about Su Han all the time.
She no longer suffered from insomnia and stopped crying for and regretting the failed relationship. She believed that she could tell Su Han that she did not love him or hate him anymore and he did not need to avoid her.
Despite that, upon seeing him here, Zheng Xiaoguang still felt somewhat at a loss. She had never expected to meet him under such circumstances. Neither had she expected that Bluegreen-Clad would have invited Su Han to the party after knowing their past relationship.
At this moment, Bluegreen-Clad came to join them. He held Zheng Xiaoguang’s hand and talked to the guys with a smile. “This is my girlfriend Zheng Xiaoguang. She’s the female doctor Flowing Light in the game.”
She felt secure when Bluegreen-Clad held her hand. She suddenly realized what he was doing. She thought, “The reason he invites Su Han to the party is that he wants to let him know that we’re a couple now.
“If Su Han has gotten over me, he’ll pretend not to know me and say ‘congratulations’ to us.”
Zheng Xiaoguang finally smiled. She held Bluegreen-Clad’s hand tightly and said to the three guys, “Nice to meet you, I’m Flowing Light.”
“Nice to meet you, I’m Li Lei. Congratulations,” Li Lei greeted Zheng Xiaoguang cordially.
Son of Heaven looked somewhat nervous and said, “Nice to meet you, Flowing Light. I’m Son of Heaven. As to the things that happened before… “I want to say that I’m really sorry.”
“That’s alright,” Zheng Xiaoguang was never a vengeful person and readily accepted his apology. After that, she looked at Su Han.
Upon seeing Zheng Xiaoguang and Bluegreen-Clad standing side by side, Su Han felt somewhat awkward, his smile stiffened on his face. He wanted to say “congratulations’, but the word just somehow got stuck in his throat.
Zheng Xiaoguang remained perfectly calm and composed and looked at him with a smile.
Su Han still failed to utter a word, and the atmosphere was getting somewhat awkward. When Han Meimei confusedly looked at them, Blooming Pear Tree, who had been sitting on the sofa all this while, came to stand between Zheng Xiaoguang and Su Han.
“I feel much better after having a rest on the sofa. Let me help you guys.” With these words, Blooming Pear Tree stretched himself and took a dish of fruit from Su Han.
Su Han was startled and finally took the situation in. When he was about to say something, Blooming Pear Tree interrupted him. “Bluegreen-Clad, take Xiaoguang to have a rest. She feels tired after traveling in the car. I’ll help you take care of your guests here.”
Bluegreen-Clad nodded approvingly, “Okay, thank you very much.”
“You’re welcome, boss,” Han Meimei said smilingly. “Your deputy gang boss Li Lei is here. We’ll take good care of the gang members. Go to spend some quality time together with Flowing Light.”
Bluegreen-Clad knew that Han Meimei assumed that they just wanted to find a chance to spend some time together. He did not explain anything. After thanking Li Lei, he took Zheng Xiaoguang to the second floor.
Upon seeing them going upstairs, Blooming Pear Tree felt relieved and turned to look at Su Han, who still looked somewhat stunned.
He thought, “A year ago, Xiaoguang was still reluctant to mention anything about Su Han. She tried her best to forget about him. She quit Flying Deity before he quit the game. She even refuses to contact her friends in the game again.
“I used to think that they won’t meet again, but… Sigh, what a coincidence.
“Anyhow, I’d better have a serious talk with Su Han now.”
“Hi, Su Han. It’s been a while.” Blooming Pear Tree looked coldly at him and said, “Can I have a word with you now?”
After recognizing Blooming Pear Tree, Su Han finally ensured that Flowing Light was indeed his ex-girlfriend Zheng Xiaoguang.
Su Han nodded to Blooming Pear Tree. As Han Meimei, Li Lei and Son of Heaven were busy serving the dishes, no one paid much attention to them.
They left the living room and walked to the empty balcony successively.
After some hesitation, Su Han stuttered, “She, I mean Xiaoguang… and Bluegreen-Clad…”
“They’re in love.” Blooming Pear Tree interjected. “As you wish, she finds another boyfriend and won’t pester you again.”
Beyond Blooming Pear Tree’s expectations, Su Han did not look relieved. He asked, “But she… How can you let her fall in love with Bluegreen-Clad?”
Blooming Pear Tree found this hilarious and asked, “Why can’t I? Is it because Bluegreen-Clad is your friend?”
“No, it’s not because of this.” Su Han frowned and added. “This is a net-love and a long-distance relationship again. It’s nothing different from, from our failed relationship.”
Blooming Pear Tree looked at Su Han with disdain, “No, it’s not the same. Do you think that all the other men in the world are just like you, who even dare not to strive for his own love?”
“No, it was not like that. I broke up with her because we were not suitable for each other and our relationship was doomed to fail.” Su Han retorted
“Do you still believe that your relationship with her is doomed to fail?” Blooming Pear Tree shook his head and asked. “Do you still firmly believe everything that your mother tells you, Su Han?”
“Is there anything wrong about it?” asked Su Han.
Su Han always believed everything that his parents told him since he thought that they were more experienced than him and would never lie to him.
Upon seeing Su Han’s reaction, Blooming Pear Tree felt helpless. He looked coldly at Su Han and said, “I guess we really have nothing in common. That’s why it’s so hard for us to exchange a few words. I just want to tell you something. Now that your relationship with Xiaoguang has failed, I hope that you won’t intervene in her future life.
“Let all of us pretend that we didn’t know one another before.”
