MSISAS |Chapter 31: Ke Xing and the Young Man
by lostnexusXu Qing slicked back his hair and left. With his delicate eyebrows and eyes no longer hidden by bangs, he looked even more aggressive.
People all say that making eye contact with a tiger or a lion can increase your own ambition. I think that looking at Xu Qing has the same effect.
Ke Xing sat at the conference table as Xu Qing took a seat across from her. She received documents from her assistant.
The black business suit and pencil skirt perfectly complimented her perfect figure. Her red lips, in contrast to her gentle demeanor, added a touch of allure.
Too similar, far too similar.
Ke Xing glanced at the contract and asked Xu Qing a few questions, which Xu Qing had not anticipated. He couldn’t help but admire Ke Xing’s meticulousness.
He immediately made arrangements.
Ke Xing smiled, shook hands with Xu Qing, indicating a pleasant cooperation. Xu Qing returned the gesture with a slight curve of his lips.
Ke Xing had just exited the cafe when she bumped into a solid chest. Standing at 1.55 meters, Ke Xing in high heels still only came up to the youth’s shoulders.
The youth wore a white shirt, jeans, and sneakers, radiating youthful energy.
The very picture of a teenage heartthrob.
Ke Xing rubbed her nose, which was a bit sore from the collision.
The youth bent down, “Big Sister, are you okay?”
Only then did Ke Xing notice her coffee had spilled on the ground and on the youth’s white shirt. Yet, the youth didn’t seem the least bit angry.
“Your, your clothes… I’m really sorry.”
“Big Sister’s nose is very red.”
Ke Xing blinked her large eyes at him. The youth was as exquisite as a painting, as if an eternity in one glance.
With handsome features, a slightly youthful touch, a high bridge nose, prominent brow, sword-like brows, starry eyes, and thin lips, Ke Xing admitted the youth appealed to her aesthetic.
Her earlier annoyance at the spilled coffee subsided significantly.
“It’s fine about the clothes, Big Sister. I was walking in a hurry, I’m really sorry, I bumped into you. Does your nose still hurt?”
“It’s nothing. Your clothes probably won’t come clean. I should compensate you.”
The youth smiled, “Then, Big Sister, let’s add each other on WeChat!”
“Okay.”
After exchanging WeChat contacts, Ke Xing got into her car.
The youth watched the car drive off into the distance, a slight smile on his lips.
She doesn’t remember me at all.
Ke Xing returned home and changed into comfortable clothes. She liked to finish her work in advance to give herself time off.
Finally, this was her time.
Suddenly the doorbell rang. “Who is it? I’m coming!”
Ke Xing opened the door to a familiar scene.
Standing outside was the youth and a suitcase.
“Big Sister! We meet again!”
“You?”
“I’m Aunt Chu’s son.”
“Oh! Come in.”
Aunt Chu was Ke Xing’s godmother, but she had little memory of this son. It was probably related to her childhood.
“My name is Chu Huaiyi.”
“Ke Xing.”
“I heard from my godmother that you transferred schools and are living here temporarily?”
“Yes!”
“Your room is over there, are you a junior in high school?”
“Yes, I’ll be taking the college entrance exam next year.”
“So, you’re only sixteen or seventeen?”
“Seventeen, just had my birthday.”
What do kids eat these days to grow so tall?
The youth was estimated to be about 1.95 meters.
As soon as the youth entered, the house felt much fuller.
Ke Xing wore small slippers, with her hair in a comfortable bun, her face free of makeup, appearing youthful and cute under the sunlight.
At just over twenty, the prime of her life.
“Big Sister is already working? I remember Big Sister is only twenty.”
“Yes, I graduated early.”
“Sorry for disturbing you, Big Sister.”
“No problem. But since you mention it, you can’t stay here for free.”
Chu Huaiyi blinked innocently at her.
“You have to cook for me. I can’t cook, and if you can’t cook, we’ll have to order takeout every day.”
“I can cook.”
“That’s good then.”
Ke Xing turned back to her room, lay on her bed, and sighed. Ah, troublesome.
Chu Huaiyi could clearly feel that Ke Xing really didn’t remember him, and moreover, she found him a bit of a nuisance.
But he’s pretty good at cooking, maybe he could win her over through her stomach.
Make her unable to live without me.
At this moment, Ke Xing was still on the bed looking at her phone, her long, slender legs swinging as she texted on WeChat.
Yes, she was pursuing a man. A man, not a boy. He was ten years older than Ke Xing, and compared to her, he could be considered an older man.
Ke Xing liked older men, they were caring, and younger guys hadn’t really entered society yet, too immature.
As a science and engineering girl, it’s hard to immerse herself in that kind of reckless yet vibrant love.
That’s also what her girlfriends would often complain about.
Ke Xing’s bangs were a little frizzy, with a tuft standing up as she recalled her girlfriends’ complaints.
—
“Hey, tell me, why do you like that old man? He’s not even as rich as you.”
“Don’t call him old. He’s not. I see it as mature charm, and older men are more caring.”
“I don’t get it. You’re already defending him, huh? So many guys chased you before, and you didn’t like any of them, but now you’re into a man ten years older.”
“He has a unique aura they don’t have.”
Tang Yi didn’t want to speak. She didn’t like that guy from the first glance, for no reason. She just didn’t.
Sometimes, a woman’s first intuition is really accurate.

Ke Xing typed.
Yes!!!
Ke Xing carefully dressed in front of the mirror, choosing a skirt. She picked a pink one.
Chu Huaiyi saw it, a flash of amazement in his eyes.
The girl was sweet and adorable, full of life, how could a young man not be moved?
Ke Xing was in a great mood, “Does it look good?”
She spun around in front of Chu Huaiyi, her eyes sparkling.
“Yes.” The young man’s ears turned slightly red.
“Where are you going, Big Sister?”
“I’m going out for dinner.”
“So you’re not coming back today, Big Sister?”
“Silly, of course, I’ll be back tonight.”
“Oh.” The young man’s voice had a hint of dejection, like a big puppy.
Perhaps it was this contrast that was cute, Ke Xing stood on tiptoe to pat Chu Huaiyi’s head. How fluffy!
“Sorry for today, I’ll take you out for something delicious tomorrow.”
“Okay!”
Ke Xing walked away in high heels, the sound of her steps slowly fading.
The young man’s ears were a little red, he touched his hair, Big Sister patted me.
With a hint of a smile on his lips.
The young man’s joy was fearless, meant for only one person.

A new coupling.
