Chapter 749: You are Different From Before

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

It was said that the weather in June was unpredictable. One second, it was clear and sunny, and the next moment, dark clouds gathered.

However, Xu Mingzhi’s face changed faster than the weather in June.

After arriving in A City, the groups of people parted on bad terms and left in their respective cars.

The only one who truly felt happy and happy was the original owner sitting in the passenger seat of Xiao Ken’s car.

Xiao Ken’s driving posture was not considered experienced, but it was very pleasing to the eye. He was also like this when he played basketball. He was used to being handsome and arrogant.

His fans fell for it.

This was the first time the original owner met Xiao Ken, even though she had read a lot of information about him on the Internet in the past few days.

At this moment, he was wearing a completely different hairstyle and outfit. He was even driving. However, in the eyes of the original owner, he was still the bright youth from the the Great Shang Palace band.

He always tied his forehead band casually, and when he walked, his steps were quick, and his clothes fluttered.

In the countless days when she thought she couldn’t hold on, the sound of the flute coming from the palace band was her only comfort.

She was resented by many. However, her status meant she could call the people from the palace musicians into the hall to sing for her at any time.

In the modern world, she liked to sing and dance, but perhaps because she wasn’t very good at it, her fans didn’t like her performance.

No matter how hard she tried, all she got was ridicule and laughter.

But Musician Xiao would not. He would not laugh at her. He would correct her pronunciation and taught her how to dance.

She never thought that she would see Musician Xiao again after coming here.

What surprised her even more was that Musician Xiao was also…

Xiao Ken glanced at the time on the bus and smirked. “Are you hungry, sister? How about…l treat you to a candlelight dinner?”

He was just testing the waters. Boys should still be more gentlemanly, but knowing that Su Ji would never agree, he was already prepared for her to sneer and say, “get lost.”

“Sure…”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ken’s hand on the steering wheel suddenly slid, and the car immediately turned.

He looked at the original body in disbelief. “Did I hear wrongly? You said yes?”

The original owner felt that she might have said something wrong. She pursed her lips in frustration and explained, “I…l’m indeed a little hungry…”

Xiao Ken was stunned for a few seconds. He turned the steering wheel, and the corners of his lips curled into a mysterious smile. “Sure, this is rare. I’ll take you to a delicious restaurant

The original owner nodded nervously, sitting cautiously.

Later, Xiao Ken took her to a restaurant 30 kilometers away.

His destination was clear, and it wasn’t something he had decided on at the last minute.

He had been following this restaurant for a long time.

When he was recording Cohabitation, he had done some research on Su Ji’s preferences.

The feeling of liking grew in those minutes.

She was too dazzling, and he couldn’t resist her. He simply let her lead him by the nose and did whatever she wanted.

Previously, he had been busy with work. Once, when he was recording putside, he happened to discover this inconspicuous place.

This restaurant was not big, but the dishes smelled delicious, and the taste was stronger than usual. It was exactly the kind that Su Ji liked to eat.

Ever since then, he remembered this restaurant and thought about when he would have the chance to bring Su Ji here to eat.

It was just a thought.

But today, it really came true.

In less than twenty minutes, four dishes and a soup were served.

Xiao Ken placed his elbow on the table and picked up some food for her.

Boiled fish, stir-fried meat, spicy chicken, Mapo tofu…

The original owner had tasted every dish and said that it was delicious.

Although it was a little too heavy for her.

She asked the waiter for a large pot of water and drank it as she ate. She didn’t eat much of the food and the large pot of water was almost empty.

Xiao Ken observed her for a while. “Oh, right. You were just discharged from the hospital. You shouldn’t eat spicy food like this.”

“It’s okay.” The original owner smiled happily. “I like to eat spicy food. It’s very refreshing.”

Xiao Ken put his arm on the table. “That’s good.”

He picked up a piece of spicy and savory tofu and put it into his mouth.

Later on, Xiao Ken started talking about a song with her, and the original owner accidentally choked on the chili and only recovered after a long time.

After that, Xiao Ken didn’t dare to talk too much to her. When she was about to finish her water, Xiao Ken would take the initiative to call the waiter to refill it.

Xiao Ken changed his sitting posture several times throughout the meal. In the end, he rested his chin on his hand and tilted his head slightly to look at the girl opposite him.

He thought that it would be an extremely blissful thing to finally be able to eat at the same table as the girl he loved in his dreams.

But…

Something seemed to be missing.

He couldn’t tell.

She was still so beautiful, but…something was missing.

After the original owner finished eating, he stood up to pay the bill.

It was dark outside, so he sent her home again.

The car stopped in front of the Xu family’s house. The roadster was not covered, and the light from the street lamps directly enveloped them. She placed her hand on the car door. “Thank you for today.”

“I feel that you…”

She was about to get out of the car when Xiao Ken leaned against the back of the driver’s seat. One of his elbows was propped against the window frame, and his fingers were resting on his chin.

It was as if he wanted to say something.

The original owner couldn’t help but feel nervous.

She Imew that the Musician Xiao in the modern world liked her. She thought he was going to confess to her, but the next second, she heard Xiao Ken say, “you’re a little different from before.”

She paused and looked at him.

Xiao Ken was looking at her too. The light in his eyes was obviously dimmer than when he came to pick her up during the day.

This was only the first day they had met. How could this be?

She had obviously gone along with everything he said and even ate such spicy dishes.

It was as if someone had pressed the pause button in her heart, but she endured it and did not show it.

In the end, she only smiled awkwardly. “Maybe it’s because I stayed in the hospital for too long…”

“Go back and rest early.” Xiao Ken was still smiling. “Help me explain what happened today to CEO Pei.”

The original owner got out of the car and entered the house.

Aunt Wu was very enthusiastic when she saw the young miss coming back. This kind of enthusiasm was completely different from Aunt Zou of the Su family in the past. The original owner was a little unused to it.

Aunt Wu didn’t find it strange. When Wei Wei came over earlier, she said that the poor Miss had amnesia, so it was normal that she didn’t remember her.

The chubby Aunt Wu introduced herself again and brought out the freshly baked snacks from the kitchen.

The original owner said, “thank you.” Then, she looked upstairs. “Is mom not here?”

Aunt Wu said, “Madam came back for a while and then went to the office. SHe is busy with work, so she asked you to rest first after she comes back. There’s no need to wait for her.”

The original owner squeezed her hands. It just so happened that she had something to think about now. “Then I’ll go upstairs first.. You should rest early too…”
