Chapter 29: Dust in the Corner of Memories

  "Frost sister, you're looking for me." Xia Xian had just arrived at the magazine company when he received an order from his superior, and without even catching his breath, he rushed to the minister's workroom.

  Xia Xian is a part-time worker at the magazine company, but her writing skills are good and she has a positive attitude towards work. She has a strong work ethic, which can't be changed easily, as it's been cultivated since high school. She is highly valued in the department, of course! And now, here comes the task!

  "Are you feeling unwell?" Lu Lingxue raised her head from a pile of documents, looking at Xia Xian's still slightly pale face with concern.

  Lu Lingxue, Xia Xian's direct supervisor, is a very gentle woman in her 40s. Time has been particularly kind to this beauty, and she looks no less radiant than a young girl of 28.

  "It's just an old stomach problem, nothing serious." Xia Xian smiled awkwardly.

  Lu Lingxue nodded and gestured for Xia Xian to sit down, then pulled out a document and handed it to him. "The magazine company wants to launch a new column," he said slowly. "After discussion among various departments, the theme of the new column will be 'men', but not the rich second generation or official second generation, but rather men who have become elite through their own efforts. The higher-ups are worried about the sales of the new magazine, so they plan to start with a trial issue first."

  Xia Xian carefully looked at the document, slightly puzzled by Lu Lingxue's words. This should be the content of today's quarterly meeting, Xia Xian is a part-time staff member, so she doesn't have the qualifications to attend such meetings. But what does the Minister mean by saying these things?

  "You've been freelancing at the magazine for two years and four months, so I'm assigning you this text reporter's task. Get it done! This is the person you need to interview!" Lu Lingxue simply handed over such an unprecedented task to Xia Xuan.

  Lu Lingfeng?!!

  He and Lu Lingxue shouldn't be relatives, right?!

  Xia Xian looked at this character profile and couldn't help but scratch his head. The hot yam was indeed not something ordinary people could handle!

  Damn it! The girl is about to graduate and get out of here, yet she comes up with such a ridiculous idea!

  Don't look at Xia Xian's very displeased appearance, but Lu Da young master is also very displeased! Thinking that the majestic Lu Lingfeng accepted an interview, but the other party was just a part-time student?! Isn't that too disrespectful?!

  "Sister, if you want to run a magazine, then just do it! Why drag me into this?! Even if I'm supposed to introduce the topic, at least show some respect and assign it to a formal employee! She's not even an intern, just a part-time worker! My own sister! You're really looking down on your own brother!" Lu Lingfeng resentfully pushed his rice around, complaining about his sister's unfair treatment of him.

  The temperament is a wonderful thing, Lu Lingfeng's man, even if it's a home wear, can still wear the dragon robe, even if it's selling Meng, it can give people a sense of connotation.

  "Eat your food properly! I'm telling you, Xia Xuan may be a part-timer, but her experience is in no way inferior to that of the other employees. Besides, I think she must have some charm that will attract you, and you'll know once you've spent some time with her!" Lu Lingxue said casually as she served Lu Lingfeng some food.

  As for her own brother, it's pointless to explain anything, but Lu Lingxue always had a feeling that some stories might be rewritten from now on, such as her brother's love story.

  Have to say, Lu sister's sense of smell is still quite keen sometimes.

  "Uncle, uncle, Aunt Xian is so pretty! And she's also very cute, I'm sure you'll like her!" said the naive and lively little niece Lu Jia'nuo with puffed up chubby cheeks.

  Lu Lingxue's darling daughter, also Lu Lingfeng's precious gem, was "lost" by her father due to a chance encounter. It seems that Lu Lingxue didn't mind too much, perhaps she thought that what belongs to her would eventually return to her side after all the twists and turns.

  "Aunt Xuan, is my Nuo Nuo pretty? My Nuo Nuo is the prettiest and most lovely! Come, have some braised pork!" Lu Lingfeng said with a curved smile.

  For over thirty years, Lu Lingfeng has been exceptionally doting on his sister, while all other girls have to take a backseat. In Lu Lingfeng's world, as long as someone stands in opposition to his sister, they are standing in opposition to him, regardless of who it is.

  "Hey, hey, hey! I'm talking seriously here! Be serious for once! We need to work together properly, or else I won't let you come home and freeload anymore!" Lu Lingxue tapped her bowl, warning the smiling Lu Lingfeng.

  "I get it, sister!" Lu Lingfeng immediately raised a small white flag, indicating his surrender.

  Don't look at Lu Lingfeng's majestic appearance outside, but at home, especially at his sister's house, his sister is the eldest and has the final say. Years of leadership have made Lu Lingfeng bow down to her.

  My little niece, Lu Jia'nuo, is the second child in her family. She's arrogant and looks down on others, except for her mother. In today's popular slang, it means "Are you a beauty queen or something? Why should I care about you?"

  Unfortunately, Lu Lingfeng could only rank at the bottom and had no choice but to nod his head in agreement with whatever opinions the other two had.

  Thanks to Mo Xiao's arrangement, Lu Lingfeng was lucky enough to meet Xia Xian for the first time. It was that night when they almost got into a car accident. However, Young Master Lu seemed to still be unaware that the girl was someone he would have to face soon, and possibly for the rest of his life.

  After having a full meal, Lu Lingfeng casually went out for a stroll. Such a leisurely day may have never existed before, or perhaps he didn't allow himself to have one. Whenever he had free time, he would inexplicably think of her, the woman who left him with scars, the woman he once wanted to spend his life protecting.

  "Ling Feng! Ling Feng! You said you'd love me until the day I don't love you!" This voice, these years, has been echoing in his ears, and whenever he's idle, it fills his mind.

  It's all in the past now, nothing. He kept telling himself that, but was it really nothing? No, he couldn't let go, and for a long time, he couldn't let go.

  Endless thoughts, increasingly helpless, inescapable loneliness, unforgettable entanglements... tangled, bumpy, memories woven into a web, slowly devouring him.

  Feeling suffocated, Lu Lingfeng drove aimlessly around Beijing, not knowing where to go or what to do, as if going anywhere was pointless and had no direction.

  Perhaps even he didn't realize that the place he went to was the magazine company where he first met Xia Xuan, although his sister had been working there for many years, but Lu Lingfeng rarely went to the magazine company unless his sister had instructed him, but today?

  Is it coincidence or fate?

  Lu Lingfeng's answer must be accidental, because he would never believe in fate, his worldview has no fate.

  Time is the best medicine, no matter what kind of memories there are, time will dry up the tears in those memories. But Lu Lingfeng, your tears of remembrance have already drowned you, so don't refuse the warmth of reality anymore.

  Perhaps this warmth needs to be given to each other, Xia Xuan, she is also freezing.
