Chapter 114

After a while, Wang Hu replied: It should be him.

Bai Shuruo was stunned: Are you sure?

Wang Hu said: It was seven or eight years ago, after all. We were all just green kids back then, weren't we? We have grown up, and although he is older than us, his appearance should have changed too. This build and posture... I am sure it is him.

Bai Shuruo stared at the photo for a while longer.

She couldn't help but feel that at first glance, the angle of this photo looked a bit like... Han Yangting?

But looking closely, she felt it didn't look much like him.

Perhaps good-looking people all have some similarities, just like Tony Leung and Zhu Yilong.

Just as she was looking, a low chuckle came from Meng Ze beside her: "Is Supervisor Bai taking a fancy to me? Looking at my photo so intently?"

Bai Shuruo hurriedly closed the photo and said: "It's nothing, I, I just thought you looked quite like an acquaintance of mine."

"Oh? Which acquaintance?" Meng Ze placed his cup on Bai Shuruo's desk and deliberately leaned closer to her, giving her a sense of pressure.

Bai Shuruo was not afraid at this moment and simply asked him: "Were you ever a librarian at Hudong Middle School?"

Meng Ze replied with an ambiguous remark: "It seems you can't remember anything about the past at all."

"If it was you, then what happened between us before?" Bai Shuruo asked again.

"If Supervisor Bai can't remember, then there is no need to think about it anymore." Meng Ze smiled and then said: "You are still sick, drink more hot water."

Bai Shuruo looked at the cup of water he had poured on the desk, then glanced at Meng Ze.

To be honest, Meng Ze was handsome and roguish; he was indeed the type that middle school girls would like.

If she had liked him before, it wouldn't be strange.

However, what could a middle school girl have experienced with him? At most, it was just a secret crush.

She was already married, so it was inappropriate to think about the past. Besides, Han Yangting was so good to her; as long as their marriage existed, she would follow Han Yangting wholeheartedly and would never betray him because of a boy she liked in her youth.

Thinking of Han Yangting, Bai Shuruo thought of his kindness again.

She couldn't help but send him a message: 【Brother Han, I'm at the office working.】

Han Yangting replied in seconds: 【Alright, is there any discomfort in your body?】

【None, I feel quite well. Brother Han, what are you doing?】

【Is the sun rising from the west today? My Ruoruo is actually taking the initiative to care about me?】

Han Yangting, who was in his office, curled his lips upward.

Bai Shuruo paused and thought: It seems that for so long, she really hadn't taken the initiative to care about him.

【Brother Han, considering you've been taking care of me, I'll make chicken soup for you tonight.】

【Besides chicken soup, can you make anything else?】

【Just chicken soup, will you drink it?】

【Fine, chicken soup it is. Whatever you make, I will eat.】

Meng Ze turned to look at Bai Shuruo, and seeing her smiling happily at the screen, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

His gaze also became gloomy.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the classmate's wedding arrived.

Because the meal was in the evening, Bai Shuruo went to join in the fun.

Before leaving, she glanced at Meng Ze and then asked: "Meng Ze, are you familiar with people from Hudong Middle School? I have a middle school classmate getting married tonight, do you... want to go have the wedding banquet together?"

Meng Ze rested his forehead on his wrist and asked lazily: "You're going to a wedding, and instead of finding your husband, you're asking me?"

Bai Shuruo couldn't help but smile: "How could I bring a family member to a classmate's wedding? He doesn't know my classmates, so it would be awkward if he went. But if you are familiar with my classmates, they must have seen you before. Why don't you go and catch up with them?"

Meng Ze said: "I won't go. I have other things to do tonight. You go and have a good time."

Bai Shuruo didn't force him and only said: "Alright, then I'll be going."

Meng Ze paused, then watched as Bai Shuruo walked out of the office without any lingering attachment.

Bai Shuruo went to the wedding venue.

At the hotel entrance, she glanced at the wedding photos displayed at the door.

The bride was very young, but the groom was a bit old, looking to be forty. He wasn't very good-looking either, his hairline was high, and his belly was protruding.

After entering, she sat with a table of middle school classmates.

Perhaps because she had been working for a long time, she wasn't as socially anxious now. When her classmates talked, she would chime in, and she even promoted her company's new energy vehicles to them.

Wang Hu sat next to Bai Shuruo and asked: "Bai Shuruo, didn't you find that librarian? Why didn't you invite him to come and have the wedding banquet together?"

"I asked, but he said he didn't have time."

Others asked curiously: "How did you get in touch?"

Bai Shuruo thought for a moment and said, "We ran into each other occasionally, but we didn't talk deeply. I almost didn't recognize him."

A female classmate joked: "Then do you still have any thoughts about him?"

"Of course not, I'm already married," Bai Shuruo said while eating.

Another female classmate named Chen Li had perhaps had a few too many drinks, and she said: "I've discovered that girls who marry early are either deceived by a boy's face or by an old man's money. Like Wang Fen, she just took a fancy to the old man's money. Her family couldn't stop her even if they tried."

Wang Fen was the girl getting married that night.

Someone reminded Chen Li: "Chen Li, keep your voice down. Don't let the family hear you, or they'll kick you out in a minute. Besides, it's Wang Fen's freedom to marry whoever she wants."

Chen Li asked in a low voice: "Bai Shuruo, which one are you? Your husband must be older than you, right?"

Bai Shuruo couldn't help but nod: "He's not much older, he's just in his thirties."

In the eyes of girls who hadn't graduated from university yet, being in one's thirties was already very old.

Chen Li laughed: "Then you're done for. In your situation... I'm afraid you'll cheat in the future. After all, you only covet the person's money, but your body... you must still crave that librarian."
