Chapter 563 Recollections

Prompted by Qi Shifeng, Xu Tingyu suddenly recalled this memory.

She also remembered why she had created *Spark* back then.

That day, just as Chen Chunyao had said, there was a college party.

Chen Chunyao didn't go to the same college as her. She had heard about the party and come over to have fun.

After the bonfire was knocked over, Xu Tingyu had indeed grabbed Chen Chunyao by the hand and run.

After all, one was a dancer and the other a somewhat famous star. Their bodies were their means of livelihood.

If they were disfigured or injured anywhere else, it would be a huge problem.

But there were so many people that day. As they were running, they got separated by the crowd.

Xu Tingyu was afraid of a stampede, so after getting separated, she quickly grabbed someone's hand and ran again.

She was so flustered that she didn't notice that the hand felt different.

It wasn't until she ran out of the crowd, let out a sigh of relief, and complained that everyone had gone crazy that she looked up and found that she had grabbed the wrong person.

It wasn't a stranger, though. It was her fiancé, Qi Shifeng, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

They weren't very familiar with each other at that time. Xu Tingyu felt a bit embarrassed, but she couldn't help but feel excited deep down.

Qi Shifeng was wearing a black overcoat that day, making his figure look even more upright and imposing.

His overly delicate facial features were more dazzling than the stars above under the streetlight.

In the distance, people were running in all directions, mixed with occasional screams and laughter.

But Xu Tingyu couldn't hear those sounds anymore.

She just stared blankly at the other person, and then a blush gradually spread across her small face.

Qi Shifeng seemed quite satisfied with her expression. A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. "Are you hurt?"

She shook her head and then asked him, "Why are you here?"

"I have a friend who goes to your college. He invited me to come and play."

Qi Shifeng said calmly.

Oh, Xu Tingyu nodded silently. The joy in her heart faded away.

He wasn't here to see her.

Stop being so self - indulgent.

Since they weren't very familiar, they didn't talk much later. They just stood quietly outside the crowd.

Soon, Chen Chunyao found them and shouted, "Oh my god, I was so scared. So you're here. Are you okay?"

When Xu Tingyu looked back again, there was no sign of Qi Shifeng.

Although they hadn't said much to each other, she still had a dream that night when she got back.

In the dream, Qi Shifeng leaned towards her. When she asked why he was there, he answered, "Because I miss you."

Of course, such a dream was too embarrassing for her to tell anyone.

So when people asked about her creative process after she created *Spark*, she only said that she got the inspiration from the bonfire party.

No one ever suspected.

Only she herself knew that her *Spark* wasn't because of the bonfire party.

It was because of the little stars in Qi Shifeng's eyes.

Those sparks, which were comparable to a prairie fire, burned hot in her heart.

When recalling this, Xu Tingyu was both surprised and puzzled.

In this memory, it seemed that she did have feelings for Qi Shifeng. Even if she tried to restrain them, she was really happy when she saw him.

But they really weren't familiar with each other.

They hardly said a few words. When Qi Shifeng left, he didn't even say goodbye to her.

The two of them standing there would have looked like a perfect match to anyone, but only they themselves knew that they were like strangers.

Could it be that the truth was that she had liked Qi Shifeng first, but later they didn't get along well. Then she met Qi Ye abroad and fell in love with him instead?

Later, because the engagement couldn't be cancelled and the old man insisted that she marry Qi Shifeng.

She agreed for the sake of the Xu family?

Maybe she had quarreled with Qi Ye during that time and in a fit of anger, she agreed to the engagement...

Of course, these were just her wild thoughts.

Now, she was in Qi Shifeng's arms. His scent surrounded her, and she could hardly think about Qi Ye.

"Back then, when I was watching the bonfire, I noticed you a long time ago. You and your friend were really popular."

There was a hint of jealousy in Qi Shifeng's tone.

That day, he was indeed invited to their college. However, the reason he agreed was because of her.

At that time, he had already taken over the Qi Group and was busy all day long. He didn't have the time or energy to think about women.

But he had also heard his grandfather mention the engagement a few times.

His fiancée, who looked slender but had a strong sense of power, had won quite a few awards recently.

The friend who invited him to the college said to him, "Busy man, go and take a look today. See how popular your fiancée is."

"You've been so cold to her all the time. If she really runs away one day, you'll have nowhere to cry."

Qi Shifeng actually scoffed at such remarks.

Because he knew very well that as long as he and Xu Tingyu were alive, the engagement couldn't be cancelled.

Xu Tingyu wouldn't resist her family either.

After all, the two groups were too deeply tied together.

But he didn't say anything because he wasn't used to explaining himself to others.

In the end, he still went to the party. Not for anything else, but really just to see how popular she was.

Moreover, after he got there, he deliberately sat two rows behind Xu Tingyu's seat and wore a mask and a hat.

Actually, even without the disguise, very few people would recognize him.

But since he entered the college gate, people had come up to chat with him. He was so annoyed that he put on the disguise.

After the party started, Xu Tingyu watched very intently. Occasionally, she whispered something to Chen Chunyao. He didn't know what they were talking about.

Sometimes when she was happy, she would laugh.

But her laughter was also very refined. She didn't laugh as uncontrollably as Chen Chunyao beside her.

As others had said, she was really popular.

From the moment she sat down, people had been showing their affection to her frequently.

The boys walking back and forth couldn't help but look in her direction.

Some brave ones even went over to give her things directly.

But Qi Shifeng noticed that most of the things were just food and drinks. He didn't see any flowers or love letters.

His friend gloated on the side.

"After all, college students are so innocent. They're so reserved when chasing girls. If it were me, I'd just sit next to her and chat with her all night."

"Then ask for her contact information. Send her greetings three times a day. A good girl can't resist a persistent suitor. She'll definitely be shaken."

"After all, she's just a young girl with budding feelings. She'll fall for this. And who told our Second Young Master Qi to be so cold and never look at her properly?"

Qi Shifeng's temper wasn't as calm and cold as it was later, but he had already restrained himself a lot.

Hearing this, he just punched his friend and told him to get lost.

However, from beginning to end, Xu Tingyu didn't accept any of the food or drinks. Only a girl gave her a bunch of mini candied haws, and she took it.
