Chapter 10: The World’s Changes
“Wen Han, your romantic luck is still as strong as ever!”
Strolling outside the department store’s floor-to-ceiling windows and watching a handsome man not far away turn back with a smile, Lin Na sighed enviously.
This was already the third one in an hour!
However, Wen Han, who was standing beside her, disdainfully threw her phone, after adding someone’s contact, back into her bag and couldn’t help but sneer, “Hey, are you drooling over him again?”
“That guy is really handsome!” Lin Na nudged her with her elbow. “Hey, have your standards gotten so high? How come I’ve never seen you have a boyfriend?”
“Boyfriend? A waste of time!” Wen Han chuckled disdainfully, “Men are all bastards!”
Although she herself was once a man, it was precisely because of that she understood men even better.
This kind of creature, especially under her own alluring charm, basically means anyone who comes close wants to sleep with her.
But dream on if you think you’re getting anywhere near me!
My virginity is still reserved for regaining my male body!
Spouting a few sweet words and spending some money to ruin my dream? Please, I’m long immune to such tricks!
Beside her, Lin Na, who had been holding her breath for half a minute, finally couldn’t help herself, “Wen Han, are you … a lesbian?”
“Maybe…” Wen Han turned her head and smiled without answering, “If I’m a lesbian, I’d eat you first!”
“Eek!” Lin Na immediately ran away, “Wen Han, are you really a lesbian?”
“If I were, you’d have already been quietly on my bed.”
“Huh?” Looking at her always confident friend, Lin Na scratched the back of her head. “Wen Han, you’re so confident?”
“Of course.” Having been flirting on the edge of the dating scene for four years, Wen Han was absolutely sure and confident when it came to matters of the heart. “If I wanted you, do you think you could escape from me, Na Na?”
“Wow…” Lin Na’s skin crawled, “Wen Han, you’re too much like a domineering CEO! If you were a guy, you’d absolutely be a superwomanizing scumbag!”
“Scumbag? Hmph! Scumbags don’t scare me!”
I play with scumbags! Non-scumbags are just not interesting enough!
While chatting and laughing, they finally found the hot pot restaurant they booked online.
After seating herself, Wen Han immediately sent a text to her mom. Before getting a reply, she heard Lin Na’s voice again.
“Hey, Wen Han, did you know Zhao Mengsheng is back from studying abroad?”
“Zhao Mengsheng?” Wen Han looked up, frowning at Lin Na eagerly awaiting a response. “Who’s that?”
Our memories are completely different, so naturally, I don’t know any Zhao Mengsheng.
“You don’t even remember Zhao Mengsheng?” Lin Na was utterly shocked. “Didn’t you have a crush on him when you were in school?”
Water almost choked in her throat as Wen Han suddenly raised her eyes. “What? Me? Liked… him?”
“Is this for real? You forgot?” Lin Na shook her head in disbelief. “You had a crush on him when you were in school! Though it was labeled as a secret crush, Zhao Mengsheng actually knew. Later, he went abroad to study, and that’s how it ended.”
Is there such a past?
Zhao Mengsheng… Wait!
“Zhao… Mengsheng?”
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Han suddenly remembered!
In her memory, there was indeed this name, her academic goddess during her school days.
Back then, Wen Han had always been secretly infatuated with her, and many people knew about it. Unfortunately, an academic goddess like her naturally wouldn’t look at someone who was bad at studying and unattractive back then, and Wen Han herself lacked the courage to confess or pursue her.
Later… Zhao Mengsheng indeed went abroad for studies, and she was never seen again.
So, in this altered world, Zhao Mengsheng has also changed sex with us and become a man?
Wen Han suddenly understood, but time had passed and she had long since become emotionally detached: “Oh.”
“Oh?!” Lin Na rubbed her chin. “I heard he is planning to work in Star River City. A few days ago, someone in the class group called for a reunion of classmates. Do you want to go?”
“Boring.” Wen Han’s face was indifferent as she accepted the utensils offered by the waiter. “I still have to take care of Little Yuan.”
Mentioning Little Yuan, Lin Na sighed at once. “Wen Han, why don’t you let Little Yuan come out and play? I haven’t seen my little treasure for ages.”
“She’s my treasure.” Wen Han emphasized.
“Yes, yes, yes! You’re my treasure, does that mean Little Yuan isn’t also my treasure?” Lin Na playfully stuck out her tongue.
Looking at her extremely affectionate and cute friend, Wen Han couldn’t help but shiver, remembering the well-muscled, swearing buddy from four years ago.
This world is crazy!
…
“Mom, then I’ll leave it to you…”
Originallly, she was there just to accompany Lin Na on a blind date, but somehow, they ended up playing all day.
After careful deliberation, since Little Yuan also had a day off tomorrow and it wasn’t safe at home recently, Wen Han decided to leave the child with her mother.
Sure enough, a scolding voice came from the other end of the phone shortly after.
Wen Han helplessly consoled her and, after ending the call, picked up her bag, crossing the crowd decisively, and returned home alone.
Click – Clack!
The door opened with a key in the lock.
As soon as she entered, Wen Han instinctively looked towards the shoe cabinet at the entrance and, sure enough, saw another black letter.
“Damn…” This guy went too far!
She narrowed her eyes and tore open the envelope.
This time, it only had three simple words: “See you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow? What does that mean? Tomorrow… does it refer to the bar?”
Bar…
“Could it be Qin Long?” Wen Han frowned, but quickly rejected the idea.
That guy doesn’t seem too smart, and she hadn’t noticed any magical aura from him.
“Could it be Su Zeheng?”
It doesn’t seem likely either, and he’s not a member of the magical world.
“Then… who could it be?”
Carefully considering it, although many people added her every day, Wen Han had never paid much attention to them and didn’t even remember a few of their names.
She thought for a while, then sat on the sofa, reviewing her contact list.
“Wen Miss, were you not at work today?” The first message on the chat app was from Qin Long’s inquiry.
“Did he actually go to the bar to look for me again?” Wen Han ignored him, swiftly scrolling through the screen.
After a while, she was still clueless.
“Never mind! See you tomorrow… well! I’ll see who’s playing tricks on me by showing up at my house every day without any reason!”
…
Night.
She thought that without that troublesome little sprite around tonight, she would surely have a good sleep and regain her freedom.
But Wen Han suddenly realized that without her daughter by her side, she felt as if she was missing something.
Recalling four years ago when she had just become a mother, she was always flustered about that little money burner, unable to sleep every night, one hand holding her, the other hand having to hold a bottle.
Once, she even broke down and cried while changing the diaper.
These little details made Wen Han unconsciously show a faint smile on her cold face late at night.
“Maybe you should find a father for Little Yuan?”
Her mom’s words during the day suddenly popped up in her mind.
Wen Han’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, deep in thought, not knowing what she was pondering over.
