Chapter 434 Don't Say It's Too Late (Subscribe for Monthly Tickets)
Li Yufei has been living in Lijin for more than seven months.

Compared to the slow and leisurely life in the small town of Jiangchuan, where the smell of fireworks can be seen everywhere, old grandfathers playing chess leisurely under the camphor trees, and old grandmothers chattering at the street corners, life in the provincial capital of Lijin seems to be much faster-paced. In seven months, the only thing left in her memory seems to be the two words "college entrance examination".

Before I knew it, I had graduated from high school.

After graduation, the classmates will pack their bags and go their separate ways. It will be difficult for everyone to see each other again in the future. Some of Li Yufei's good friends in the class want to organize a party as a farewell dinner.

The person in charge of this gathering was the class monitor Song Xiaoxiao, Li Yufei's best friend in Lizhen. She was lively and cheerful, and had good grades. She had applied for Capital Normal University in the college entrance examination. Her parents both taught at Southern Hunan Normal University, so the two knew each other when they were very young.

Song Xiaoxiao's favorite is the Shangzuo Seafood Restaurant in Shuntian Kaisi Hotel. It's delicious and quite famous in Lijin. After the phone call, everyone was satisfied and insisted on taking her to Shangzuo Seafood to book a private room for the graduation party.

The summer in Lizhen is always associated with scorching heat.

Song Xiaoxiao was afraid of getting tanned, so they decided to book a private room at the Shangzuo restaurant in the morning. At that time, the sun had just risen and there was no smell of anxiety in the air.

Another reason was that Li Yufei had to accompany her mother to watch the drama "Nine Songs" in the evening. It told the story of Qu Yuan. Li Yufei didn't understand it and felt that she would fall asleep while watching it.

Recently, her mother often asked her a question, why didn't she go back to Jiangchuan to play during the summer vacation? Li Yufei didn't know why, or rather, there were many whys, just like a familiar street corner that someone inexplicably walked by and a silent phone call that he made.

No one can explain why.

On the day they booked the private room, they set out from the staff quarters of Xiangnan Normal University and took a taxi to Shuntian Kaisi Hotel at just past ten o'clock.

Li Yufei got out of the car and walked towards the Shangzuo Seafood restaurant at Shuntian Kaisi Hotel with Song Xiaoxiao.

This was just an ordinary day. Li Yufei felt that he was just here to do an ordinary thing. However, many times, thunder always comes in silence, just like on this ordinary day, he strangely met Zhang Yunqi by chance.

Half a year and 179 days later, the moment she saw the young man again in the open-air parking lot of Shuntian Kaisi Hotel, beneath his ordinary appearance, a tsunami was uncontrollably stirring in her heart!
But at that moment she found that she could do nothing.

She just looked at him silently, using all her strength not to show her emotions and not to let anyone know.

Zhang Yunqi smiled at her.

She laughs too.

Zhang Yunqi told her that he had something to do.

She said goodbye.

It's that simple. It can only be that simple.

It seemed as if nothing had happened, but it seemed as if in the silent moment, I had experienced countless joys, sorrows, anger, and worries deep in my heart. Why was he here? What was he doing in Lijin? How was he doing recently? Was he still as busy as before? Did he eat and sleep well? How did he do in the college entrance examination? Did he apply to a school in Lijin? Is he okay after experiencing such a big change last time?
Li Yufei didn't know if this was what the books called love at first sight.

A few days ago, she accidentally read The Passing of Spring, a poem by the great poet Lord Byron, and felt this way:

After many years,

We meet again,
How shall I congratulate you?

With tears, with silence.

……

Of course, she is not a pessimistic person.

In other words, she doesn't want to be a pessimistic person!
Don't say it's too late, the sky is still full of clouds. People need to believe in the beauty and positive meaning of love, and need to manage their lives and do some positive things under the guidance of responsibility and motivation.

This should be the true meaning of love.

No matter what, she needs to live her life!

Li Yufei watched the Mercedes-Benz leave the parking lot and disappear at the intersection. She turned to Song Xiaoxiao and said, "Let's go. The sun will be very hot later."

Women's intuition has always been terrible.

Song Xiaoxiao looked at the direction where the car was going, then looked at Li Yufei beside her, took her hand, and asked with a curious look on her face, "Yufei, who is that boy? He called you Yufei, it seems like he has a special relationship with you."

Li Yufei said: "My high school classmate in Jiangchuan."

Song Xiaoxiao sighed: "There is such a rich boy in Jiangchuan, driving an imported Mercedes-Benz. What does his family do?" At this point, she laughed, put her finger on her mouth and said: "Let me guess first, isn't Jiangchuan a famous mining city? This boy is the son of the mine owner, right?"

Li Yufei had a faint smile on her face. Her pretty appearance made the people in suits and ties in the parking lot unable to move. "It seems that you don't know that Jiangchuan is not only a famous mining city, but also a famous tobacco base."

Song Xiaoxiao was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Li Yufei said: "He is not the son of a mine owner, but the son of a tobacco farmer."

Song Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, her expression was strange: "No way? Then how come he's sitting in a Mercedes? There's a very pretty girl next to him, wearing a suit and skirt, she looks like a female assistant."

"Satisfy your curiosity, otherwise the questions will never end." Li Yufei drank her drink and walked towards the seafood table with a smile on her face: "His name is Zhang Yunqi, the richest man in Jiangchuan City."

A scream of "Wow" was heard from behind!
Li Yufei laughed even more happily, but what she didn't expect was that Xiaoxiao asked more questions. She held her hand all the way and asked her about Zhang Yunqi and their relationship.

It was already noon when we returned from the restaurant.

Li Yufei and Xiaoxiao went to eat steak, and went to the flower market in the afternoon, where she bought a bunch of tulips she liked and gave them to her mother on the way to watch the drama "Nine Songs".

Li Yufei did not sleep well that night.

The next day, she got up after ten o'clock. Her mother had already gone out. When she washed up and was preparing to go out for dinner with her classmates, the cell phone her father Li Jilin bought for her rang.

Li Yufei picked up the phone and answered it. Wang Guibing's voice rang out: "Yufei, are you home? I'm downstairs at your house. Come down for a moment."

Li Yufei was stunned and her heart started beating faster for no apparent reason.

After hanging up the phone, she walked to the mirror, looked at herself, let her hair down and combed it into a thin, soft and straight style, then changed into her favorite light blue dress, put on white stockings and black leather boots. In the sunlight outside the window, her skin looked white and delicate.

After dressing up, Li Yufei went out and went downstairs. She soon saw Wang Guibing smoking in a Duke. When Wang Guibing saw her, he honked the horn. She walked over and said, "Brother Guibing, why are you here?"

Wang Guibing threw away his cigarette butt and patted the car door: "It's a rare trip to the provincial capital, so I came to see you. Get in the car first, I'll take you out for a drive and have a delicious meal at noon."

Li Yufei thought about it and got in the car.

While fastening her seatbelt, she asked casually, "Brother Guibing, what are you...doing in Lijin?"

Wang Guibing started the car and said with a smile, "You want to ask Zhang Yun what he is doing in Lijin?"

Li Yufei blushed, but did not deny it.

Wang Guibing said, "He has a lot of things to do when he comes to Lijin. First, he applied for Xiangnan University in the college entrance examination. He just bought a house in the university town, a single-family villa. He also started a new project, a VCD player. The operation center will be located in the provincial capital. In the future, many of his work will be transferred here."

Li Yufei nodded: "Is he busy?"

"Of course. You have a lot of ideas and are capable. You also have to take care of the livelihoods of so many people, so naturally you have a lot to do." Wang Guibing said, "By the way, let me tell you about you. I heard from your father that you applied for the Art Department of Xiangnan Normal University in the college entrance examination, right? Did you study music?"

Li Yufei nodded: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Wang Guibing smiled and said, "I see those big stars all sing and act at the same time. Do you want to try being an actor in commercials? Of course, I don't think your father would agree."

Li Yufei didn't understand: "What advertising actor?"

Wang Guibing explained: "Our Aihua DVD player will be on the market soon. Our boss wants to shoot a TV commercial and needs a female lead. The commercial will be aired on CCTV and our Xiangnan TV. The male lead will most likely be international superstars such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li."

After a pause, he seemed to be saying something meaningful: "How should I put it? I am thinking about you, Yufei. After all, I have watched you grow up. I think, no matter from which angle, this is an opportunity for you."

Li Yufei said nothing.

After a long while, she asked, "Did Zhang Yunqi ask you to come to me?"

"No, he doesn't even know about it, but..." Wang Guibing lit a cigarette and drove on the streets of Lijin, saying slowly: "With such heavy snow, there is actually no wish that cannot be fulfilled."

Li Yufei was stunned for a moment, then she looked out the window with a smile on her face: "Brother Guibing, do you know this poem by Wang Guozhen?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." The Duke coughed as he walked through the hot streets of Rijin.
