I'll Still Love You Tomorrow Chapter 36: Goddess

Long ago, he knew a girl.

He wanted to describe her but after going through all the words in the dictionary, he still wasn’t able to find anything.

She was pretty, elegant, and was well versed in dance and the piano. Her eyes were so clean it seemed like the pristine and untouched water from the top of a mountain.

When she saw beggars on the overhead bridge, she would give them money with a small smile. When it rained, she would ask the driver to stop the car and help an old man push his pushcart. On the weekends, she would volunteer at an orphanage.

Back then, her eyes were warm and she would speak to everyone politely with a small smile.

He couldn’t find any flaw.

She was every man’s goddess.

He called her, his dream girl.

Lu Jingyan stilled for a long while before asking, “What do you mean?”

Sheng Xian's throat moved but he didn’t say anything.

Lu Jingyan persisted, “You knew me before? When?”

Sheng Xian stared at her, he licked his lips but didn’t answer her question. Instead, he paused for a few seconds before saying, “Forget it, pretend I didn’t find you.”

He stayed a moment longer and left.

Lu Jingyan watched his silhouette, she hesitated but didn’t get down the car.

Back home, after putting down her luggage, she received a call from Lu Hongcheng.

Lu Jingyan let it ring for a while before answering the call.

Before she could get in a word, Lu Hongcheng lamented, “Why did you take such a long time to answer the call?”

Lu Jingyan shut her eyes and struggled to sound calm, “I was in the washroom.”

Lu Hongcheng didn’t continue to scold her, and continued in an unkind tone, “Don’t forget about the dinner with Mr Yang tonight and treat him well. I’ve already thought of an excuse for you, tell him it was an accident the previous time. Don’t screw it up again.”

Lu Jingyan has heard this phrase many times over the years, she lowered her lids and replied in a perfunctory voice, “Mmh.”

Lu Hongcheng was probably busy, he hung up immediately, not wasting any more time with her.

Lu Jingyan tossed her phone aside and spaced out on her bed. Just then, she remembered Sheng Xian’s words.

She counted his age with her fingers. He was either from her batch or the batch above her.

Was he her ex-classmate?

Lu Jingyan rushed to the studyroom and searched around for all the class photos that she had taken.

There were photos from when she was in elementary school all the way till highschool. She looked through them one by one but couldn’t find Sheng Xian.

Back then, she was very popular among guys, even her seniors had shown interest.

She definitely couldn’t remember all of them but judging from his current appearance, he was likely to be an eye-catching presence back then, someone with a school hunk title. She couldn’t have completely forgotten someone like him.

She pondered for a long time but there wasn’t anyone in her memory that fit the bill.

The dinner that Lu Hongcheng arranged was at 6pm, Lu Jingyan didn’t have time to think about this matter. She kept the photo album and briefly tidied herself before heading out.

The dinner wasn’t as torturous as she had imagined, with Lu Hongcheng and Mr Yang chatting for the bulk of it.

Aside from the few times Lu Hongcheng forced her to pour Mr Yang wine, there wasn’t much for her to do.

When dinner was about to end, Lu Hongcheng suggested that Lu Jingyan and Mr Yang add each other on WeChat.

Lu Jingyan passed her QR code over for Mr Yang to scan.

Soon, she received the friend request but she didn’t accept it.

Lu Hong cheng and Lu Jingyan were both tipsy, and when they came out of the restaurant, Lu Hongcheng told her to leave in his car.

Lu Jingyan didn’t reject him, she waved at Mr Yang perfunctorily before entering the car.

Lu Hongcheng and Mr Yang continued talking outside the restaurant for about ten minutes before they parted.

Lu Jingyan remained silent but she was counting silently.

Once she hit ten seconds, Lu Hongcheng spoke, “Little Yan, you’re not young anymore, it’s time to form a family, don’t be so wilful.”

Lu Jingyan looked out the window at the moving night view, not paying attention to his words.

She wasn’t sure what he said exactly but she found it extremely noisy and annoying.

Lu Hongcheng said, “Mr Yang isn’t bad, he was only willing to meet you because of the respect he gives the Lu family. He is very popular with the girls with his credentials, you have to grab hold of this opportunity especially since you are worthy yourself. You are pretty and have a good background, you have a upper hand as compared to those girls. You second brother has a project that requires Mr Yang’s support. Regardless, you have to be on good terms with Mr Yang…”
