Han Su looked at the person in front of her, completely stunned.

Although many years had passed, she recognized Chen Cheng at a single glance.

He was stronger than before, and he looked... even more handsome.

For a moment, Han Su couldn't think of any other adjectives.

He Zhinan reacted quickly. She looked at Chen Cheng, then at Han Su, poked Han Su gently in the waist, and whispered in her ear: "Is it him?"

Han Su didn't answer her; she stared straight at Chen Cheng, her throat moving slightly.

"Long time no see."

Chen Cheng suppressed a smile. "Now, can we introduce ourselves again?"

Han Su's lips curled up slightly. She stood up and generously extended her hand toward Chen Cheng. "Hello, my name is Han Su."

Seeing Chen Cheng again, Han Su's heart was filled with joy, delight, and sunshine.

Chen Cheng pursed his lips and gently took Han Su's hand. "Hello, my name is Chen Cheng."

He shook it slightly before letting go.

Chen Cheng smiled and tilted his head toward He Zhinan. "I accidentally overheard your conversation just now." He turned back to meet Han Su's bright eyes. "I originally wanted to hear a story, but I didn't expect to end up being the subject of the gossip."

Han Su smiled, trying her best to remain calm.

"Why are you here?"

Chen Cheng looked toward Zou Yu, who was behind them.

His inner thoughts struggled in a split second.

Han Su and He Zhinan followed Chen Cheng's gaze.

The moment they saw Zou Yu, their expressions froze.

Zou Yu, standing behind them, had already realized what was going on. Her expression was stiff, but she tried hard to remain calm.

She took a breath, stood up, walked over, and extended her hand toward Han Su. "Hello, I am Chairman Chen's Private Lawyer. My name is Zou Yu."

Chen Cheng's lips curled up slightly; she was so sensible that it was hard not to like her.

Actually, Zou Yu was very clear that she was still a married woman; Chen Cheng couldn't officially introduce her in front of outsiders.

It was even more impossible for him to say she was his girlfriend in front of his first love.

Han Su also smiled and shook Zou Yu's hand. "Hello, I'm Han Su, also a lawyer."

He Zhinan, being tactful, shifted her body, stepped out of the way, and pulled Zou Yu toward the front desk.

"Hello, Lawyer Zou, my name is He Zhinan, and I'm a friend of Han Su."

Zou Yu gave a forced smile and replied indifferently: "Hello, He Zhinan."

Han Su smiled and pointed to the chair opposite her. "Please sit."

Chen Cheng nodded with a smile, pulled out the chair, and sat down.

After they both sat down, neither knew where to start.

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, breaking the silence first. "Here for a vacation?"

Han Su shook her head. "I was recently transferred here for work."

She raised an eyebrow and asked, "What about you?"

"About the same, also because of work. I came over to handle some business for the Hong Kong company."

Chen Cheng smiled. How could he admit that he only came to Hong Kong because of Zou Yu?

Han Su's eyes were full of smiles. "You've changed a lot. You're... more outgoing than before."

Chen Cheng chuckled foolishly. When he was in high school, he didn't even dare to speak a word to the person he liked, so he definitely wasn't outgoing back then.

He looked Han Su over.

Han Su was wearing a gray, raw-edge knit t-shirt, had long, wavy black hair, and wore a watch with a black strap on her wrist.

She looked stylish and capable. Chen Cheng smiled and said, "You haven't changed much; you're still just as capable..."

Chen Cheng weighed his words. Han Su smiled and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Anything else?"

Chen Cheng looked calm and met her eyes. "Beautiful."

[Ding~ Han Su's favorability +1]

Damn it, why are you coming out to cause trouble at a time like this?

Chen Cheng still took a quick glance. Oh wow, it's actually as high as 73.

Is this the value of being each other's "white moonlight"?

Han Su lowered her head to take a sip of milk tea, suppressing a smile to hide the emotional fluctuation in her heart.

Han Su composed herself, looked up again at Handsome Chen, and said, "I heard you did really well on your college entrance exam."

Chen Cheng nodded with a smile. "It was okay."

"Actually, it was you who inspired me."

"Huh?" Han Su looked at him in surprise.

Chen Cheng smiled and explained, "Actually, my grades were pretty good in junior high, but after entering high school and seeing the vast world, I realized how insignificant I was, and my mindset slowly became unbalanced."

"I did everything except study. I read novels and slept in class, wandered around aimlessly after class, and even snuck out to internet cafes to pull all-nighters."

Chen Cheng said this without a shred of guilt, his face full of nostalgia.

Han Su rested her chin on her hand, listening to the story from a different perspective.

Chen Cheng smiled. "It was right after one of those all-nighters that I ran into you waiting at the school gate early in the morning."

Han Su remembered how he had been squatting at the school gate like he was in a restroom, and she barely held back her laughter.

Chen Cheng shrugged. "Later, you already know what happened."

Expressing affection should be done in moderation. Especially since they had just reunited today, saying too much or acting too eagerly would make people uncomfortable and defensive.

As for the rest, Han Su would naturally fill in the blanks herself.

She could already imagine how hard the boy across from her had worked in secret to keep up with her.

She smiled. "Then you're really smart; it was already the second semester of the second year of high school."

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Of course!"

"Pfft~" Seeing him acting so cocky successfully made Han Su laugh.

"You really have changed a lot."

Chen Cheng shrugged. "Maybe because I've gotten full of myself?"

Han Su's lips were full of smiles. She couldn't imagine what he had gone through to make such a shy boy become...

Well, a bit cheesy.

Although there were some flaws, it still couldn't hide the joy of their reunion.

"You became a lawyer?" Han Su nodded indifferently. "Are you busy?"

Han Su thought of the IPO consulting for Gao Peng's company. "Yeah, it's really busy. I estimate I'll be working over eighteen hours a day for the next week or so."

She raised an eyebrow. "Today is just a temporary rest before heading to the battlefield."

Chen Cheng frowned. "Eighteen hours?" 996 is a blessing, right?

Han Su smiled and nodded lightly, not revealing too much. "Project sprints are like that, it's like going through the gates of hell!"

After she finished speaking, she asked Chen Cheng in return: "What about you, what are you doing?"

Chen Cheng frowned. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Han Su asked: "What's wrong? Is it... inconvenient?"

Chen Cheng shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "After I graduated from college, I went to Stanford for graduate school."

"During my studies, I started a business. It's doing pretty well."

"I came to Hong Kong this time because the new company here is handling its first project."

Han Su nodded with a smile. "That's not bad at all."

Chen Cheng gave an awkward laugh. "It's alright."

When reuniting with an old friend, the hardest question to answer is, "What about you, what are you doing?"

For most people.

If you aren't doing as well as them, you might feel embarrassed;

If you are doing much better than them, they might think you're showing off and scoff at you.

But his situation with Han Su was different; Chen Cheng genuinely hoped she was doing well.

He was also afraid that his "cheat-enhanced" brilliance would be too dazzling, making Han Su feel she wasn't good enough for him, leading her to resist and reject him.

So, this question wasn't actually easy to answer; Scum Cheng weighed every single word carefully.
