Chapter 115: Past Life and Present Life

  "Hey! Wait a minute!" Seeing Luo Lin turn around and leave, Han Xuan immediately became somewhat flustered and almost subconsciously blurted out to stop him.

  No way, Han Xuan had gone to great lengths to get Luo Lin to agree to meet up, how could she just let him leave like that?

  At the sound of Han Xuan's blocking shout, Luo Lin raised an eyebrow, little girl, you're competing with me, but you're still too tender.

  Thinking of that, she turned her head back, a hint of playful smile on her face: "Hm? What's up, Class President Han? Anything else?"

  "Ah, oh, I..." Han Xuan was taken aback, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment. The calm demeanor she had maintained earlier instantly vanished, leaving her feeling a bit awkward. Fortunately, she was clever and quickly recalled Luo Lin's words from earlier, thinking on her feet: "You... you just said you were going to find... 'Lei Feng sister', right?"

  Lei Feng's sister...

  Uttering this title from her own mouth, Han Xuan couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. How on earth did she come up with such a cheesy title in the first place?

  Lorin's eyes narrowed slightly, he was very good at observing expressions and could see the slightest sense of contradiction and embarrassment in Han Xuan's heart, which made him even more convinced of his speculation. Sure enough, this little girl had gone to great lengths to arrange this chance encounter for me, what did she want to do? Lorin wasn't a fool, from Han Xuan's attitude towards him, always blushing from time to time, he could vaguely feel that this little girl seemed to have some feelings for him.

  Hehe, it's really fate playing tricks on people.

  He still clearly remembers that in his previous life, he spent a lot of money to buy the latest BMW convertible sports car just to get a slight smile from Han Xuan, but instead, he was met with her ruthless rejection. Moreover, she uttered a string of words that made him lose face in front of others, including one of the Four Young Masters of Beijing: Ma Lei.

  What a great sports car, and that idiot smashed it to pieces.

  Although Ma Le was the youngest and least experienced of the Four Young Masters of Beijing, he was after all the young master of one of the four great aristocratic families in Beijing. The family's background was not ordinary, and with just a casual arrangement, they could make people from other places who came to Beijing for school or work disappear without a trace, and the aftermath would be very clean. This wasn't because he was particularly meticulous, but rather because the prestige and power of the four great aristocratic families were too great, and there weren't many people who dared to offend them. As long as he had an attitude, there were plenty of people willing to fawn over him and wipe his butt for him.

  Now thinking about it, in the previous life, I was able to see Han Xuan at an important business conference in Beijing, and her existence seemed to be like a bright moon surrounded by stars. Even someone as arrogant as the Four Young Masters of Beijing showed a gentle and elegant attitude towards her, unfolding their pursuit of her. This is enough to show that Han Xuan's family background is probably much stronger than what appears on the surface.

  For a wealthy playboy like the Four Young Masters of the Capital, finding a beauty is easy as long as they're willing to spend money and show off their status. Many campus belles from drama or dance academies will line up to follow them. When they get bored, they'll casually discard someone and whoever wants to pick up their used shoes can have them.

  With such strength, there is no need to spend thoughts on pursuing anyone. Unless... it's this woman, worth them putting down their pride and exhausting their minds to pursue. This doesn't just require enough beauty, but also a family background. According to Lorraine's understanding of people like Pan Jiajun, Han Xuan's family background must be even more powerful than the four major wealthy families, at least on a similar level.

  In fact, the four major aristocratic families have always been developing in China and many of the well-known families that made a name for themselves in China years ago have long since left the country due to various reasons and established equally formidable transnational financial empires overseas.

  It's just like the saying goes: "Wealth is not to be displayed." Truly wealthy people are all low-key and unassuming. Take Bill Gates, for example, who is supposedly the richest man in the world - if you count all those hidden rich folks, he wouldn't even make it into the top twenty. This isn't just an exaggeration; with the widespread use of the internet and computers, although Microsoft was the first to reap huge benefits from this trend, what about those guys drilling for oil in the UAE? What about those professional stock traders who work day and night in their studios?

  So, on the surface, it's not necessarily the strongest.

  A true strongman often likes to hide his strength, just like an assassin. Can't he always hold two kitchen knives and swagger through the streets? In front of you, smiling foolishly and scratching your head, the next second when you relax your vigilance, suddenly cold-bloodedly like a walking corpse, expressionless, cutting off your throat, that is a qualified killer.

  It's the same principle.

  So, the Han Xuan in front of her must have an extraordinary family background. Luoluo would not be as foolish as she was in her previous life, thinking that Han Xuan was just a simple rich girl from a high-ranking official's family.

  After a slight daze, Han Xuan also adjusted her previously slightly awkward state, gathered her emotions, and surprisingly walked slowly towards Luo Lin: "Luo Lin classmate, are you... the owner of the lost phone?"

  Lorraine smiled and said, "Can't you just call and find out?"

  Han Xuan indeed cooperated and took out her phone, then dialed a number. Soon, Luolin's pocketed phone rang. He slowly took out his phone and put it in front of him, pretending to be busy, smacking his lips: "Hmm, my Lei Feng sister is calling me. Han, class monitor, do you think I should answer or not?"

  Han Xuan's face turned bright red after being spoken to by Luo Lin, and she didn't know how to respond.

  Lorraine smiled and hung up the phone, putting it in her pocket. She shrugged: "Firstly, I want to tell you something - I didn't lose my phone, you probably dialed the wrong number. Secondly, now is just the time for afternoon tea. If you don't have anything important to do, Han Dabanjang, shall we go to the mall's teahouse and sit for a bit? This is our first meeting outside of school, whether it counts as a date or not, I should at least treat you to a seat."

  Han Xuan was slightly silent for a moment, her head unconsciously lowered, and her face became even redder. She hadn't expected Luo Lin to invite her to sit down so casually. She didn't know what she was thinking either. Although she had been expecting Luo Lin's invitation all along, why was she hesitating to respond now that he had taken the initiative?

  Looking at Han Xuan's slightly awkward expression, Luo Lin couldn't help but laugh. He really didn't expect that after his rebirth and return, he would be lucky enough to see the proud and arrogant Miss Han Xuan, revealing such an expression. More importantly, the object of her awkwardness was himself.

  Lorraine didn't actually want to do anything bad to Han Xuan, it's just that they happened to run into each other and were old acquaintances, so they might as well have a cup of afternoon tea together, a very ordinary thing.

  Actually, to say whether Lorrain has put down the entanglement in his heart towards Han Xuan from the previous life, just look at his calm expression now. If he hadn't let go, Lorrain wouldn't have gone out of his way to invite her for tea. And without any reservations, chatting with her, even not minding having some relationships beyond classmates, this is enough to explain that Lorrain, towards Han Xuan, has long since lost the intense emotions from the previous life.

  "Alright, Class Leader Han, President Han, in recognition of your selfless dedication to our school's students, I represent the many beneficiaries to ask you to have a cup of tea with us. You can decline if you want." Luo Lin pointed to the teahouse not far ahead, "Come on, since we're all out already, let's not be polite about it, okay?"

  Han Xuan is a girl who is not very good at expressing her feelings to the boy she likes, and she is also used to being proud in her daily life. At this time, she is also a little embarrassed to put down her dignity and communicate with Luo Lin, so she simply lowers her head slightly and walks silently towards the tea restaurant in front of her.

  Lorraine saw this scene and couldn't help but shake her head. She was indeed a rare and extreme woman.

  It's probably that Han Xuan is currently in a state of conflict, and from the bottom of her heart, she isn't really willing to admit her feelings for Luo Lin. But she can't help but face this fact, and she's a girl who never gives up and doesn't want to lose, so she basically just rushed into it like a duck on a rack, without making sufficient mental preparations, trying to take her relationship with Luo Lin further, even if it's just advancing to the stage of ordinary friends, which is already her maximum limit.

  From Han Xuan's behavior, Luoluo simply felt that she had these small thoughts, and it could be said that she was extremely perceptive.

  Such a noble girl who pursues perfection, stubbornly following her own heart's obsession with doing things, is really tiring. To be honest, although Han Xuan has excellent conditions in all aspects, Luo Lin doesn't like such girls at all. Think about it, which man wouldn't be tired of being with a woman who actually pursues perfection and is so proud?

  Soon, the two sat in a tea house drinking something, Luoluo ordered a cup of yuan yang, Hanxuan ordered a glass of lemonade. In the melodious tea house, customers came and went, but only Luoluo and Hanxuan's table was quiet to the point of being eerie.

  "Lei Feng's sister, don't you want to say a single word?" Luolin was speechless for a moment, and then habitually asked.

  Han Xuan's two small hands were quietly placed under the table, clenched tightly with anxiety. She wasn't unwilling to speak, but really didn't know what to say to Luo Lin. She was very concerned about her impression on Luo Lin, afraid that if she spoke up, she would say something that Luo Lin wouldn't like. The more she worried, the more awkward the atmosphere became, and the less natural it felt.

  "I... uh... just sat with a boy in a teahouse for the first time, it feels... weird." Finally, Han Dae's beautiful girl spoke up in a tiny voice after being silent for half a day.

  Lorraine almost fainted, just about to speak, but suddenly felt a familiar refreshing scent coming from behind her. The next second, it was a slightly sexy magnetic female voice: "Tsk tsk, stinky boy, awesome! Just a few days without seeing you, and you've already got a new girlfriend."
