Chapter 4

"Samson Nan~ Do you remember me?"

"Jocelyn York?"

"You still remember me."

She stood in the crowd, her smile as beautiful as a flower.

"Weren't you supposed to be studying abroad?"

He was surprised but regained his composure in half a second.

"I came back, I missed home~"

"How long are you staying?"

"I'm not leaving."

He stared at her in disbelief.

"I found a job here, and I'm starting work tomorrow."

"Really?"

He remained silent and then walked past her.

"Samson Nan!"

She called after him, her voice delicate and urgent, afraid he would disappear in the next second.

"Let's go for a drink...coffee?"

He looked back.

"It's on me."

Certain he wouldn't refuse, she turned and walked ahead.

He followed, keeping a step behind.

Jocelyn York, as she was in middle school, cheerful and straightforward.

The tall girl walked ahead, like a deer, dazzling and beautiful.

They sat down in a cafe called Cafe Bros.

"Where are you working?"

She placed her bag and checked the time.

"Design Institute"

"Ah~ Staring at the computer all day, isn't it boring?"

"It's fine."

"Well, boring people doing boring work, it's nice~"

She was good at finding topics to talk about, even if he was sitting across from her.

"Got a girlfriend?"

"No."

It seemed everyone was eager to ask him this question, and he was too lazy to answer.

"Ah?! Even William Wei has gotten someone, you really need to catch up~"

It seemed she had already been in contact with William Wei.

The three were high school classmates and close friends.

She knew Samson Nan very well. He was cold to people and had always been like that, but she knew his heart wasn't like that.

"Athletic guys are more popular, I guess. Nobody likes a homebody like me~"

He mocked himself, his lips starting to curl up.

"I like it!"

He almost spit out his half-finished coffee.

She looked at his reaction with interest.

Her eyes could laugh, and Samson Nan couldn't see any hints in her gorgeous pupils, expectation or mockery? He didn't know.

"Forget it, your education is too high, I can't hold on~"

After high school, William Wei chose sports, Samson Nan chose architecture, and Jocelyn York went to a music academy and was recommended to study in Italy. He didn't know why she came back with such a short-circuit in her brain.

"Ah, a beauty who comes to you and offers herself, and you don't want her! Well..."

"Thank you, but I don't need it for now."

He didn't deny her beauty, but in his eyes, she was more like a buddy.

"How are your uncle and aunt?"

"They're fine."

"And Yu Yu?"

"Same."

His eyes were calm, but his hand kept stirring the coffee.

"She must have gotten prettier I guess!"

"Of course!"

"Dead sister control!"

She scolded, he smiled lightly.

"Alright, I need to go to work, let's go out again some time, call William Wei, I'll treat you."

She looked at the clock, it was almost time to go to work.

"This weekend, let's go skiing."

"Okay."

"Bring Yu Yu along, I really miss her!"

He thought for a moment.

"No problem."

He said and walked out of the coffee shop.

But she sat in the same spot for a long time, ordering another cup of coffee.

...

"Samson Nan, working overtime?"

It was already off work time, but he was still sitting in front of his computer drawing.

"Yeah."

The one who greeted him was his colleague, Li Xing.

"Don't work too hard, I'm leaving, bye~"

Going home with nothing to do so he works overtime?

Maybe it was true what Yun Luo said, that he was indeed a boring person.

Occasionally, William Wei would call him to play basketball or drink, which was pretty much his only source of entertainment.Drip, drip, drip.

He picked up his phone.

"Bro, off work yet?"

It was a text from Raina Nan, so he straightened his back.

"Miss me?"

"Go to hell! First text, just trying it out on someone (*^__^*)!"

That's the reason? He smiled bitterly.

"I'll pick you up on the weekend and take you skiing."

"Really?! That's so great! Can't wait (¯ε¯)!!"

"Call me brother."

He swiped on the screen in a good mood.

"No! Is it just you and me?"

"Well, there's also William Wei and Luo Jia, who you know."

"Ding, ding, ding~~~"

Suddenly, the phone rang. It was Raina Nan.

"Hello! Why is Jocelyn York here too?! You know I hate her!"

The melodic voice on the other end of the phone was angry and anxious.

"Luo Jia just returned to the country, we can't be ungracious hosts, can we?"

He really forgot that Raina Nan didn't like Jocelyn York very much.

Back in high school, Samson Nan once brought Jocelyn York home to play, and the younger Raina Nan didn't seem to like her brother's new friend.

"She's going, right? Fine, I'm not going!"

She was willful, only to him.

"Raina, that's unreasonable. It's not easy for her to come back to the country, and she specifically said she missed you, can't you give her some face?"

"..."

"I'll pick you up on Saturday, be good~"

He hung up the phone, hoping that there wouldn't be any problems on that day.

...

Saturday

He arrived early at the door and knocked.

"Samson Nan? How did you get back?"

His mother, who was out buying groceries, was a bit surprised, as her usually elusive son had actually come home on his own.

"Where's Raina?"

"Your sister is probably still asleep. Are you looking for her?"

"Didn't she tell you? She promised to take her out to play today."

"I haven't heard anything about it. This girl! Let me go wake her up!"

"Mom, I'm here..."

Raina Nan was already standing behind her, sleepily rubbing her eyes.

Seeing Samson Nan at the door, her angry expression appeared on her chubby face.

"Raina, let's go~"

He stretched out his hand and took hers.

She was passive, but didn't resist.

"Mom, we're going."

On the way, fearing that she would get mad later, Samson Nan started the prevention.

"Who are you frowning at?"

"You!"

"Well, be polite when you meet later~"

"Humph!"

...

"Samson Nan!"

William Wei was wearing simple sportswear, looking like he was ready for a big day of fun.

"Raina, you're so cute today!"

"Hello, Mr. Wei!"

"NO, we're not at school, just call me Wei Brother!"

He shook his head, smiling goofily.

"Wei Brother."

"Good girl!"

"Where's Luo Jia?"

"Hasn't arrived yet, I guess. Oh, speaking of the devil, there he is!"

Jocelyn York waved to them, wearing a knitted sweater and pencil pants, she always knew how to dress herself up nicely.

"William Wei, can you not be so creepy? I'll call the police if you keep staring at me!"

"Heh! Truly a transformation, from a tomboy to a goddess! Why didn't I see it before?!"

William Wei praised her because of the amazement.

"Raina, long time no see!"

She greeted Raina Nan warmly.

"Hello..."

After much hesitation, she squeezed out the word.

"Raina!"

He reminded her not to forget what they had discussed earlier, stern and serious.

"Hello!"

"This girl must be having her period today, don't mind her."

"You're the one having your period!"

She kicked him and walked away.

"Don't mind her~"

"Hehe, it's okay, I'm just happy that Raina agreed to come! Alright, let's get in the car~"Behind her was a white Lexus.

She asked Raina Nan to sit in the passenger seat, but she refused, insisting on sitting next to her brother.

Sitting in the back, she felt car sick.

With so many problems, who would believe it wasn't on purpose?

"I'll drive,"

Samson Nan proposed a solution, which was expected under such circumstances.

"Alright,"

Only then did she get in the car.

He was too lazy to comment on her capriciousness, because he had gotten used to it.
