Autumn Wind and Liu Jian returned to the entrance of the hall. She tried hard to clear her mind, not thinking about the disgusting scene she had just witnessed, nor about Liu Jian's captivating face. Yet, she couldn't help it; she found herself glancing at Liu Jian again and again, unable to resist looking toward the restroom.
Five minutes later, a waiter rushed out in a panic.
Ten minutes later, Ying Mi walked out, linking arms with her husband, stepping lightly.
Autumn Wind was confused now. She hurriedly withdrew her gaze, only to unexpectedly meet Ying Mi's eyes. There was a hint of cunning and determination in Ying Mi's gaze as she meaningfully nodded at Autumn Wind.
Autumn Wind was stunned; she quickly turned her head, her hands beginning to tremble slightly.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Did you see your idol? You look a bit excited!" Liu Jian noticed Autumn Wind's flustered state and leaned his face closer to hers.
"My idol? The kind of person who could be my idol probably hasn't been born yet. But if I had to pick one, there are candidates..."
"Who is it..."
"..."
Actually, Autumn Wind could have continued, but some people always seem to appear out of nowhere.
Just as Autumn Wind and Liu Jian were entangled in the question of "who is your idol," Yao Lizhen appeared in a grand manner, guiding a VIP-like person through the door.
Suddenly, Autumn Wind felt surrounded by numerous reporters wielding flash cameras, as if they had sprung up from the ground, quickly forming a semi-circle around her.
Autumn Wind stumbled back a few steps, her foot caught on something, causing her waist to bend down immediately. The candies in her tray spilled everywhere with a clatter, and then they came crashing down on her head as she flailed her arms in the air.
However, as Autumn Wind bent at a 90-degree angle, she found herself suspended in mid-air. Just then, Liu Jian's handsome face came close to hers.
Autumn Wind was laid bare before her, the lines on her face so gentle that Autumn Wind even felt an impulse to take a bite of that fair and delicate face.
Autumn Wind's face quickly flushed, and as Liu Jian exerted strength with his arm around her waist, she pushed herself up and stood.
Fortunately, almost everyone was busy peering into the circle formed by the reporters that had suddenly appeared, and no one noticed Autumn Wind's slightly awkward moment.
Liu Jian kept pinching his arm from above, the muscle definition shining under the lights: "Hey, big sister, I didn't expect you to be this heavy!"
Autumn Wind dared not look directly at Liu Jian. With his delicate features, bright eyes, and a smile that revealed two dimples, he had such an enchanting face paired with muscular shoulders. Autumn Wind was truly afraid she might lose control and drool—ah, a body full of youth.
Autumn Wind felt increasingly reluctant.
Not having the courage to continue looking at Liu Jian, she tiptoed, resting one hand on Liu Jian's arm while the other waved in the air as she jumped toward the crowd, but her mouth rebutted Liu Jian's earlier comment about her weight: "I'm actually below standard weight—could it be that my idol has arrived..."
"Your idol... who is it?!" Liu Jian's jealousy surged immediately, but he pretended to act indifferent.
"I won't tell you...!" Autumn Wind teased Liu Jian on purpose.
If Autumn Wind had anticipated being surrounded by reporters, she wouldn't have said those words even if it meant biting her tongue.
In the circle, Qiu Mowen and Chen Shanni were dazzlingly surrounded in the center. Chen Shanni had her chest partially exposed, tightly pressed against Qiu Mowen's arm, their every gesture showcasing the intimacy of their relationship.
Seeing this scene, Autumn Wind froze completely.
Her heart felt as if it were being gently hammered by someone, her expression dazed as she stood still.
So much so that when Liu Jian gently removed his arm from around Autumn Wind, she swayed unsteadily. Liu Jian lightly flicked her nose with his finger: "You're unhappy again! I was just joking!"
Autumn Wind felt blank, her ears buzzing, unsure of what to say to Liu Jian. She forced a small smile.
Liu Jian glanced at the reporters and muttered, "Isn't that the person we met today?"
In a state of great unease, Autumn Wind could only respond perfunctorily, "Yeah! That's right!"
This state of awkwardness lasted for an unknown amount of time until the reporters finally dispersed, satisfied. Yao Lizhen eagerly led them to Autumn Wind and Liu Jian: "Let me introduce you. These two are my guests today. No need to introduce Autumn Wind, since you've already met her. This is Liu Jian, my cousin, just back from the United States..."
Her words were interrupted by Chen Shanni: "Sister Li Zhen, no need for introductions; who in Taiwan doesn't know jaes now!"
Qiu Mowen was naturally surprised by the sudden appearance of Autumn Wind, but as soon as Chen Shanni spoke, he instantly understood why she had persistently insisted he attend a seemingly unrelated children's birthday party.
When he was just attacked by reporters, Qiu Mowen thought Chen Shanni merely wanted to publicly acknowledge their identities. Now it seemed her true intention was to introduce him to Liu Jian, specifically to show him Liu Jian with Autumn Wind.
Qiu Mowen finally understood the real meaning behind Chen Shanni's earlier statement: your family has found a good place to settle, and we should continue on well ourselves.
Initially, he thought "your family has found a place" referred to Qiu Ruolan and that male model's relationship; now it appeared she meant the situation between Autumn Wind and Liu Jian.
He nodded slightly, forcing a bitter smile as he glanced at both Liu Jian and Autumn Wind. The panic on Autumn Wind's face showed her confusion; she briefly made eye contact with Qiu Mowen, then chose to look down.
Yao Lizhen squeezed onto the sofa with Chen Shanni, chatting with a group of married women. She waved at Liu Jian: "Jian'er, ervin is in your hands now; make sure to take good care of him!"
Following Yao Lizhen's instructions, Liu Jian took off his ugly hat and immediately adopted a composed demeanor. He extended his hand, saying, "Hello, I'm Liu Jian, nice to meet you!"
Qiu Mowen also reached out his hand and shook Liu Jian's. "Hello, I'm Qiu Mowen, you can call me ervin!" His gaze shifted toward Autumn Wind.
Seeing this, Liu Jian wrapped an arm around Autumn Wind, introducing her: "This is my girlfriend, Autumn Wind!
Autumn Wind quickly raised her head, startled by Liu Jian's actions. Her pupils dilated, her body stiffened, and her throat trembled but she couldn't utter a word.
"Hey hey, it's Autumn Wind! Long time no see!" Qiu Mowen smiled at Autumn Wind.
"What's this? Do you know each other?" Liu Jian asked in return. "Oh, right, my cousin just mentioned you; you two are acquainted!"
"Yeah, we had a meal together at Sister Li Zhen's hot pot restaurant. At that time, Autumn Wind was with Leo, right... and that jak. I thought you would be with jak!" Qiu Mowen said sourly, even he couldn't believe those words came out of his mouth.
Liu Jian felt awkward. The hand resting on Autumn Wind's shoulder trembled slightly, but Autumn Wind felt it clearly.
Autumn Wind took a moment to collect herself and glanced towards the distant Chen Shanni, countering, "Yours is jak; he's a friend of Leo. As for you, I thought that Liuliu was your girlfriend? I didn't expect you to go back to Sister Chen!"
Liu Jian clearly didn't understand their conversation and showed a puzzled expression.
Noticing this, Autumn Wind immediately spoke in a flirtatious tone to Liu Jian: "Oh, darling, you might not understand. You see, Mr. Qiu was with Sister Chen for many years and just broke up not long ago... I didn't expect them to get back together!"
She paused for a moment and then changed her tone to one filled with sarcasm: "I guess this is what they call true love!" With that, she lifted her head and stared directly at Qiu Mowen.
Qiu Mowen felt his heart slowly tighten; he stopped talking to Autumn Wind and lowered his head.
The atmosphere became completely awkward. Liu Jian looked thoughtfully at Autumn Wind. He thought that Liuliu must be a good friend of hers or perhaps something had happened between Qiu Mowen and Autumn Wind in the past, which was why she reacted so strongly!
As he pondered this, Liu Jian gently patted Autumn Wind's shoulder and said, "You envy Sister Chen, right? Don't worry; if you run away, I'll definitely bring you back! Ervin can testify to that!"
Not wanting the atmosphere to remain heavy, Qiu Mowen lifted his head and said half-jokingly yet seriously: "If Liu Jian dares to bully you, I won't let him off easily!"
With that, he exchanged smiles with Liu Jian.
Autumn Wind suddenly realized how far away Qiu Mowen seemed. He appeared to be living in another dazzling world. Autumn Wind wandered in for a while, and when they brushed past each other, a spark was ignited, but now the spark had extinguished, and Autumn Wind returned to the original world.
Then, at that moment, Liu Jian inexplicably appeared.
He was like a dream, making Autumn Wind's life seem perfect once again.
At this time, Fatty Gaga surrounded Autumn Wind with a group of friends, saying, “Autumn Wind, these are all my good buddies; give them each ten candies!”
“Okay, okay! Fatty Gaga, young master!” Autumn Wind was unwilling to continue this stalemate, so she quickly changed tactics. She bent down and began distributing candies to her friends.
Looking at Qiu Mowen and Liu Jian, they seemed to quickly forget what had just happened.
Qiu Mowen had one hand in his pocket and was gesturing with the other. In fact, things were not as bad as Autumn Wind had imagined. Men naturally had their topics of conversation, just as women would discuss their outfits when they met. Qiu Mowen and Liu Jian quickly agreed to go play basketball together.
Qiu Mowen occasionally smiled at Autumn Wind, and in his words, she was just a friend he knew but wasn't familiar with. He casually teased about the relationship between Autumn Wind and Liu Jian.
But his ease felt so heavy to Autumn Wind. Each of his smiles swept over her heart like a tsunami, disrupting the calm she had just managed to achieve.
