011 Seeing You Is Like a Flicker of Flower Shadows (2)

As Tian Rao stepped out of the exit gate, her eyes immediately locked onto the figure standing there. Amid the bustling sea of people, that figure stood out like a solitary star in the night sky. You didn't have to search; she was just quietly there, her eyes calm and cold, an air of aloofness radiating from her.

Naturally, Ming Xichen also caught sight of Tian Rao at that very moment, along with Zhang Rui beside her.

Tian Rao was a vision in a tight - fitting bubble - sleeved top that carried the delicate fragrance of pink roses. Below it, a flowing skirt of greenish, smoke - like gauze swayed gracefully. On her delicate and fair feet were a pair of nude high - heels. Her long hair, like a cascade of seaweed, was casually scattered over her shoulders. Her facial features were exquisitely chiseled, her face as rosy as a blooming peach blossom, and her figure plump and irresistibly charming. Her eyes were always veiled in a misty, watery allure.

The combination of those two bright colors was not at all abrupt or vulgar. Instead, it made her look even more resplendently gorgeous, as if it were a masterstroke of nature, perfectly balanced.

Leng Yan, standing beside Xichen, thought that although the girls from the southern water towns were beautiful, they always seemed to lack that certain je ne sais quoi.

Was this a pleasant surprise? Tian Rao hadn't said she was coming, but there wasn't much to be overly surprised about. Since Xichen returned from Switzerland four years ago, she had seen Tian Rao a few times. Originally, Xichen was a cold - natured soul. Even though they had been close in college, the years of separation had somewhat chilled their friendship. However, Tian Rao was still as warm - hearted as ever. Since she wasn't far from Xichen in the ancient city, she would often drop by to see her during business trips. Gradually, their bond grew strong again.

"Oh... Darling, I've missed you so much! Didn't expect me, did you?" Tian Rao rushed forward like a whirlwind and enveloped Ming Xichen in a tight hug, pulling her out of her reverie.

"Is this the surprise you mentioned?" Ming Xichen hugged Tian Rao back, but her eyes were fixed on Zhang Rui behind her.

She could hardly believe her eyes. This was the cute girl she used to know? The transformation was astonishing. Zhang Rui was clad in a tight - fitting black dress with a scandalously low neckline, revealing her ample bust. She had willow - leaf eyebrows and almond - shaped eyes. Her skin, a rare wheat color among women, exuded a wild and sexy charm. Her chestnut hair was pulled up high in a ponytail, and her red, plump lips were coated with lip gloss, looking moist and incredibly alluring.

As soon as Tian Rao and Xichen let go of each other, Zhang Rui pounced on Xichen and hugged her tightly. "Ming Xichen, long time no see!" Zhang Rui was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She was a highly emotional soul.

Held in Zhang Rui's arms, there was also a slight sting of emotion in the corners of Ming Xichen's eyes. After all, they were classmates. It was impossible not to be excited. But she just couldn't break down in tears. Xichen was a cold - hearted person; it was simply her nature.

Tian Rao only carried a small bag. Leng Yan helped Zhang Rui carry her luggage. It was only then that Ming Xichen had the chance to introduce, "This is my college classmate, Zhang Rui."

"Hello, I'm Leng Yan, Xichen's assistant." Leng Yan nodded gracefully at Zhang Rui. Since her hands were full, she couldn't show much enthusiasm. In fact, she wasn't a very effusive person anyway.

Leng Yan went to get the car, and the three of them stood aside waiting. Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Chenchen!"

What a familiar voice. She turned around and saw a tall and stunning woman standing there, smiling at her like a ray of sunshine.

"Senior Gao!" She walked towards the approaching beauty. "Could it be that you're the unexpected surprise?"

"What do you think?" The beauty enveloped Ming Xichen in a hug. "My beautiful lady, are you happy to see me?"

The beauty was incredibly tall. A woman of 1.8 meters was a rare sight. People in the passing crowd couldn't help but steal glances in their direction. They were truly a sight to behold.

"Are you with them?" Ming Xichen was puzzled. Gao Hong was based in Beijing. How did she manage to get together with them?

"No, I came from Beijing and met them here to give you a surprise!" Gao Hong placed her hand on Xichen's waist. "Look, this tiny waist is so slender it's like a willow branch in the wind!"

"Stop being so playful!" Ming Xichen said, but there was a faint smile on her face, betraying an involuntary sense of closeness.

Tian Rao felt a twinge of jealousy. "You two are always like this, ignoring me!" She pretended to be angry, hands on her hips. Her big, watery eyes seemed on the verge of overflowing.

"How dare I, my little beauty." Gao Hong quickly wiggled her hips and sashayed to Tian Rao's side. "Come on, give me a kiss."

Where there are people, there is a world of drama; where there is Gao Hong, there is endless fun. This was the highest compliment Tian Rao could give to Gao Hong.

Gao Hong then had a lively banter with Zhang Rui. It wasn't until Leng Yan drove the car over that they all piled into the car, their laughter ringing out all the way.
