Chapter 65
It was just a picture, a very familiar one, of the table in the pavilion on the mountaintop where the two of them had been. There were teacups and steaming hot tea on the table, with wisps of steam wafting up. It was obvious that two people had been drinking tea there.
As for who he was drinking tea with, only a handful of people knew.
Song Luokui blinked, and eventually gave it a \'like\'.
Song Luokui and her group stayed at the Hotspring Villa for three days before returning, while on the other side, Wei Qing finally learned who had been dining with Chi Yu. It turned out to be Song Luosheng\'s sister, Song Luokui!
Looking at the photo in the file, and the feat Song Luokui had performed at school, Wei Qing\'s eyes were filled with interest. She hadn\'t expected Song Luosheng\'s sister to be so... truly enviable.
However, if Song Luosheng\'s sister was so close with Chi Yu, did that mean the relationship between Song Luosheng and Chi Yu was just a facade?
Wei Qing never imagined that Song Luosheng was completely unaware of Song Luokui\'s dinner with Chi Yu.
On Song Luokui\'s side, when she saw the news that Hali Kaisi was coming to Hua Country, she immediately remembered what Chi Yu had said.
Song Luokui got up and decided to go to her brother\'s company.
Many people at the company were already familiar with her - the extremely good-looking sister of their great boss who also had a wonderful personality. Just seeing her was a treat for the eyes.
"Hello, Miss Song."
"Miss Song, are you here to see the boss?"
Song Luokui: "Hello, yes I am."
She arrived at Song Luosheng\'s office, and he seemed a bit surprised. "Why did you come?" He hadn\'t asked her to bring him food recently, and Luokui didn\'t seem too keen on coming here, saying the office had a rather gloomy atmosphere, so she didn\'t visit often. Song Luosheng was quite surprised to see her come of her own accord.
Song Luokui: "Nothing much... just came to see you. Oh, I saw in the news that Hali Kaisi has come to our country. I remember when we went to Country A, you seemed to be trying to meet with him?"
If it weren\'t for what had happened back then, her brother would probably have met with Hali Kaisi, but it seemed Hali Kaisi hadn\'t arrived at the venue, and then left Country A a few days later, so Song Luosheng never got to meet him.
Song Luosheng felt Song Luokui was acting a bit strange today. "Yeah, so what about it?"
Song Luokui: "Do you want to work with Hali Kaisi, brother?"
Song Luosheng put down his pen. "Who told you anything?"
Song Luokui: "...No one. I just looked into it, and it seems Hali Kaisi has some not-so-good reputation. I\'m a bit worried that if you work with him, there might be some negative consequences."
Song Luosheng: "A lot of what\'s online is made up. Don\'t I also have some bad reviews online myself?"
Now it was Song Luokui\'s turn to be surprised. "You have bad reviews? I thought everyone just praises how good-looking you are?"
Song Luosheng: "...Luokui, in the business world, it\'s not just about looks."
Song Luokui shrugged. "So do people actually praise how good-looking you are?"
Song Luosheng: "...Well, there is that." There was even a comment online saying that he and Chi Yu had saved everyone\'s aesthetic standards for business tycoons, since many tycoons really didn\'t look that great... Then these two extremely outstanding ones suddenly appeared, and people finally felt that the faces of tycoons in novels had become real.
Song Luokui took out her phone to look for bad reviews about Song Luosheng. "Let me see what people are saying to criticize you."
She went directly to Song Luosheng\'s social media account to check the comments on his posts, which were all just re-shares of Songhua Technology\'s new product launches and so on.
His newest post had quite a lot of comments, over ten thousand of them. Song Luokui clicked in to take a look...
"Big brother, you\'re so handsome! Post a selfie, please!"
"Poor big brother boss [pitiful], save these kids, give us some eye candy (post a selfie)"
"This is the first time I\'ve seen you online, big brother, and I knew right away my heart had fallen for you [shy]. I\'ve given you my heart, big brother, when will you give me yours? [shy]"
The top comments were just a string of fawning confessions of love.
Song Luokui showed him the screen. "Look, where are the criticisms? These compliments outdo even what I could come up with."
Song Luosheng: "...Come to think of it, I haven\'t seen you buttering me up since you grew up?"
Song Luosheng immediately commented under his own post. "Just you wait, I\'ll leave you a comment." After typing for a bit, he posted.
Song Luosheng finally opened the 999+ notifications. The newest one was from Luokui\'s account saying: My brother is unquestionably the most beautiful person in Hua Country!
Song Luosheng covered his face: "..."
Song Luokui: "Alright, I didn\'t come here to talk about this. About Hali Kaisi..."
Song Luosheng cut her off. "I\'ll look into everything thoroughly. He did contact me about working together, but a collaboration isn\'t something to be done hastily. I\'ll investigate all aspects before making a decision."
Song Luokui: "Okay, I\'ll head back then."
Song Luosheng stood up. "So soon?" He checked the time, then stood. "Come on, there\'s a mall nearby. I\'ll go with you and buy you whatever you want."
Song Luokui: "Alright then."
Song Luokui followed Song Luosheng around the mall and left with plenty of purchases. After returning to his office, Song Luosheng called Lin Xingyan. "Xingyan, find a private investigator overseas to look into Hali Kaisi\'s background."
"Got it."
As the weather grew colder, one evening Song Luokui was reading in her room when Aunt Gui\'s voice came from outside: "Young Miss, it\'s snowing outside."
Song Luokui immediately went to the window to look. Sure enough, flakes of white snow were falling. She opened the window and stretched out her hand - a snowflake landed on her palm, icy cold. The snow had arrived particularly late this year.
Meanwhile, Chi Yu was working late in his office. When he looked up, he saw the heavy snowfall outside. After watching for a while, he immediately grabbed his coat and left the office.
He drove back to the mansion and the first thing he did was head towards the Song residence nearby. From his vantage point, he could see Song Luokui\'s window where a figure was standing - it was clearly her.
Chi Yu took out his phone and dialed a number. "It\'s me. Would you like to... come out?"
Song Luokui: "Hm?"
Chi Yu: "I\'m downstairs from your home."
Song Luokui immediately went to the side balcony and leaned out. She saw the familiar car not far from her house, and could vaguely make out Chi Yu on the phone.
Song Luokui: "Why did you come?"
Chi Yu: "The first snow. Want to watch it together?" After saying those words, there was a long silence on the other end.
Chi Yu thought she might not come out after all, and his hopeful heart sank a little. Just as he was about to say something, a voice finally came through. "Okay, wait for me then."
"Sure." Chi Yu\'s sinking heart lifted, pounding hard. A soft laugh came from inside the car.
Song Luokui bundled up warmly, snuck downstairs, and quietly opened the door before running out.
Chi Yu was standing by the car door. Seeing her run over, he opened the door for her to get in.
Chi Yu then got into the passenger seat himself, and drove away.
Song Luokui: "Where are we going?" She thought they\'d just stay nearby.
Chi Yu: "To watch the snow."
