I'll Still Love You Tomorrow Chapter 14: Someone Like Him

Bo Mu let out a shrill cry, she struggled to break free but couldn’t.

“Lu Jingyan, are you crazy? Let me go.”

Lu Jingyan used more force, Bo Mu’s face gradually distorted till she couldn’t say anything more. Lu Jingyan lowered her head and leaned into her ear, “You don’t have any rights to talk about the past. Back then, you were just a dog I bought with money.”

“Why? Did you think you can go around barking now that you are a celebrity? Do you want me to go online to tell your fans how you licked my boots just to get a pencil case I didn’t care about?”

…

She was initially in a good mood, thinking she could have a meal with Sheng Xian but now, all of that was lost.

Lu Jingyan was experiencing a string of bad luck, she kept encountering things that affected her mood.

She knew Bo Mu wanted to hurt her, she would have fallen into her trap if she took it to heart.

When she returned to her car, closed the door and was placed in a silent and narrow environment, Bo Mu’s words came replaying in her mind.

“No one likes you…everyone hates you…including Sheng Xian…”

Lu Jingyan slammed a fist into the steering wheel.

“F*ck.”

After so many years, that wretch was still so annoying.

She shouldn’t have let her off so easily, she should have given her a few hard slaps, teaching her to watch her mouth.

Normally, Lu Jingyan didn’t smoke much but she would chain smoke when she was in a bad mood.

She lowered her car window, held a cigarette with one hand and used the other to search for a lighter.

She must have accidentally dropped it when she yanked Bo Mu’s hair.

She was already frustrated and wasn’t the most patient. Lu Jingyan left the car and looked around but couldn’t find it, so she gave up searching for the two hundred dollar lighter and walked towards the school mart.

She bought a cheap lighter and went out.

She turned a corner towards an empty area, bit down on her cigarette. Just as she was about to light the cigarette, she saw someone through the cafeteria window.

As the lunch peak was over, there weren't many people in the cafeteria.

Sheng Xian occupied a big table at a corner.

Sheng Xian had an aura around him, he made the normal cafeteria seem like a michelin restaurant.

Lu Jingyan looked for a while, she removed the cigarette, and tossed it in the bin nearby along with the lighter she hadn't used.

She always wanted to quit smoking but never did.

But this time, the urge to smoke completely disappeared.

It seemed like she wasn’t the only one that admired Sheng Xian’s good looks.

There were many young girls trying to sneak a shot at him with their phones, some who had finished their meals had deliberately walked towards his side to leave the cafeteria.

Sheng Xian remained indifferent towards the girls that passed him.

She wasn’t sure if he was used to it or was good at pretending.

Lu Jingyan suddenly wanted to laugh.

If she could, she wanted to hide in a dark place to watch him eat. It was a pity he was half done, if she didn’t go in, he would be done with his meal.

Lu Jingyan wasn’t sure if Sheng Xian was oblivious to his surroundings, he didn’t even notice her rushing towards him.

He didn’t even lift his head when she sat in front of him, and had calmly said, “I’m not sharing the table.”

Lu Jingyan, “...”

Was he that pure?

It was probably the first time the person in front of him didn’t leave after an outright rejection. Sheng Xian lifted his lids lightly.

Seeing Lu Jingyan, he paused slightly and asked in a calm tone, “Why are you here?”

Lu Jingyan was extremely honest, “I wanted to see you.”

Sheng Xian, “...”

Three seconds later, he continued to eat as though she wasn’t there.

Lu Jingyan propped her chin on her palms, admiring his face from a close proximity, “I’m hungry.”

Sheng Xian pretended he didn’t hear her.

Lu Jingyan said, “I want to eat the same meal as you.”

Sheng Xian remained indifferent.

Lu Jingyan didn’t get mad, “But I don’t have a meal card.”

Sheng Xian paused slightly.

If Sheng Xian didn’t give her his meal card, she couldn’t snatch it.

Lu Jingyan glanced around, and noticed a boy peeking at her.

She winked at the boy and he blushed, burying his head in his food.

Lu Jingyan chuckled, “Hey, little boy, the one wearing blue.”

The boy with his head down looked up with excitement, pointing to himself in disbelief, “Me?”

Lu Jingyan nodded with her smiling eyes, “Can I ask you for a favor?”

The boy was so excited his words tripped over each other, “Wha-what can I help with?”

“Can I borrow your meal card? I’ll transfer you the money through…” Lu Jingyan reached for her phone, when she felt three hard coins, she realized she had forgotten her wallet and phone, and had relied on the five dollars in her wallet to pay for the lighter.

She was left with three dollars after buying the lighter.

Young Lady Lu who had never fretted over money stopped mid sentence in embarrassment.

The boy seemed to read her mind, he spoke excitedly, “It-it’s alright, you don-don’t have to pay, I’ll buy-buy you anything you want.”

Lu Jingyan pointed to Sheng Xian’s food, “I want the same meal.”

The boy rushed over to the window and returned in five minutes with a meal that looked exactly like the one in front of Sheng Xian.

“Thank you.” Lu Jingyan couldn’t take advantage of a child, so she asked, “Which class are you from? I’ll pass you the money later.”

The boy waved his hand, “It’s alright, my treat.”

Since the boy insisted, Lu Jingyan didn’t persist, “Thank you.”

Once the boy was back to his seat, Lu Jingyan started to eat.

Sheng Xian seemed to be busy, he wasn’t eating, and was constantly on his phone.

Lu Jingyan didn’t disturb him, eating in silence. She didn’t have a big appetite and was full after just a small bit.

She placed her spoon down, and wiped the corner of her mouth with the napkin. When she looked up, she realized Sheng Xian had set his phone aside and was eating again.

After a few bites, he quickly stood up and carried the tray over towards the washing area.

Lu Jingyan followed behind him all the way to his building, she didn’t care whether he acknowledged her and bade him farewell, “Bye.”

She turned and walked towards the car park.

…

Back in his office, Sheng Xian opened his drawer and reached for a few coins, he stuffed it into his pockets and told his assistant, “I’ll be back soon, you can teach at the start of the class.”

After he left the building, he walked towards the hostel.

He went to the first floor duty room and gave the boy’s name and major. When he got the dorm room number, he went upstairs.

He followed the dorm room number and found room 502. There were computer game noises coming from inside.

He knocked the door three times before someone pulled it open impatiently.

He swept a glance around the room and found the youngster wearing black headphones sitting in the deep end of the room. He walked over and tapped the table lightly.

The youngster hurriedly removed his headphones when he saw Sheng Xian, “Prof Sheng, what is it?”

Sheng Xian nodded and placed the coins on his keyboard, “She wanted me to pass this to you.”
