Chapter 018: 'The result of our investigation', and the 'seaside getaway'
"What?"
"Let's sit down first."
Saying that WeiWei sat down, while I pulled up my chair next to her and sat down, directing all my attention to her.
"I spotted a few Data Science freshmen with the help of some of my friends from that department and asked them about Chen Lan but they didn't seem to know him."
I could feel my face turning gloomy and puzzled. She continued.
"Then I looked up for more students when finally someone said that they knew him. And here comes the weird part."
I hobbled up close to her and inclined forward.
"Just in case, I wanted to check if his appearance and name matched. And when I described him they agreed to everything like tall in height, fair complexion, dark eyes, fit physique; and denied it right away when I said that he was strikingly handsome."
"What?!"
"They said that he was just a random guy with plain looks."
"Chen Lan being handsome is a profound truth and how can t

No one of us dared to turn back. Our interlinked hands were clasping each other even tighter. Though I was standing in the middle of the three, I felt as if I was deserted alone on that beach. "Laia!" Uh! again! When he called me, it sounded so precise and loud like a bullet being shot midst a pin drop silence. As in all the inexplicable reactions my body gave after meeting him, this time also my body did an inexplicable action. I freed my hands and turned around. Chen Lan was standing 10m away from me. He looked handsome as ever with his hands in the pockets of his light-blue jeans which was paired up with a white shirt. He was standing at a perfect spot where the setting sun's rays gave an illusion as if emerging from him and he continued to stand there with his mischievous look. I was aware that I was staring at him but didn't know what else to do. Thankfully Rou Rou came to my rescue. "Why are you here?"
Conquering The Trial Of Love Chapter 20: Why's he here?
I blinked hard and opened my eyes slowly, hoping to see something else, but nothing changed. The sight of Chen Lan walking towards us with roller luggage in the airport lounge background with planes moving on the tarmac behind the glass walls appeared so vivid as in an 8k TV. His cool looks almost bought me off for a few moments, but it dissipated soon in the fury which was building from within. This guy ruined my holiday spirit, influenced my decision thus making me hurriedly agree to be present on campus tomorrow (all because I wanted to stay away from him), caused the quarrel between me and my friend, and now when things are almost returning to normal, he's here again to ruin everything again. I turned back to my friends and said, "Let's ignore him." Before they could even reply, "Oh, Girls! why do I see you everywhere?" "...." "I'm travelling back to Shenzhen, what about you." All three of us were tryi
Conquering The Trial Of Love Chapter 021: The cab ride
I badly wanted to disappear into thin air this very moment. I was feeling too embarrassed of myself. All these years I had sustained the reputation of being so clear-headed person who doesn't at all jump into some random silly conclusions like others. But this time, I've been behaving like an idiot. He must've thought that I was insane. Meanwhile, I realized that I was standing still like a log midst of all others dynamically moving around. I pulled myself together and finally was making my way out of the airport. While I was absent-mindedly dragging myself and my suitcase, I bumped into someone. It was an old woman who looked quite strong for her age. I hastily made an apology. For that, she replied, "Looks like you feel way older than me." I felt too ashamed to reply to that comment. She smiled and walked past me. It was a really horrible day today. I didn't even feel like making a call to Wei Wei as she urged. While I stepped out, I saw several cab
Conquering The Trial Of Love Chapter 022: Realizing something that I didn't want to
Today was the day..... The day I'll be finalizing the internship offer.Unlike every other day, I managed to get ready ahead of time today and was already off to the University. I thought the loose-fitting dark green shirt tucked in black high waisted denim jeans which I was wearing would look great for today. I grabbed a double-espresso-macchiato in a coffee bar on my way to the bus stop. The bus stop wasn't crowded as I expected. While I sat there waiting for the bus, I finished up the day's caffeine shot and texted my besties in our chat group. There was no reply. Maybe they haven't woken up yet, but it was already 8.30 am.The bus arrived, and fortunately, I found a seat. In 15 minutes, I got down at my university. It was very calm and tranquil compared to how it looked during each semester. I swiftly walked to my professor's office and found my way in. I had to wait for a while since my professor was attending a phone call.At the same time, I receive
Conquering The Trial Of Love Chapter 023: The rest of the day and the shocking next day
I think I felt my body go numb for a moment along with my mind. I know I shouldn't feel like this. I know that I didn't feel any sort of attraction towards him but I really couldn't help it. My conscience knows how hard I've been trying to stay away from him. But still, he kept barging into my life again and again. And now I've been dragged into feeling something I didn't want to. I quickly repelled myself from him, but he was still holding me firmly. "Let go." He didn't. I tried harder again and he loosened his grip on my shoulder. I struggled free from him and stepped away from the umbrella, but he stepped closer. "It is raining." "I know." "Can't you see that I'm trying to keep you away from the rain? Even now I pulled you closer so that you can stay within the umbrella and prevent from getting yourself wet. Why are you getting angry over such a simple thing?" "Chen Lan, I think I have been too lenient on you
Conquering The Trial Of Love Chapter 024: My Internship
..... What is he doing here?! Arriving here in the morning with heightened anticipation to take up my internship offer, he was the last thing I'd have wanted to come across. He was out and was checking his phone. Ugh! where shall I hide? Wait, why should I hide? So what if he sees me?... Laia, keep steady and step forward! I took a step forward from where I had stayed frozen for the past 30 seconds. But, what if he starts bothering me here too? I froze in my tracks again, and quickly scanned the surrounding. The nearest tree in the vast garden was about 10m away from me, and there was obviously no way that I could scurry there without him noticing me. NO more conflicts! I'm walking in! I steadied myself and started walking casually with a blank look on my face. He was slowly moving forward, looking at the phone in his hand. While I was in the midst
Conquering The Trial Of Love Chapter 025: Chen Lan's POV (from C- 019)
[The last day of Chen Lan's beach vacation & at the meantime the day Laia and her friends arrived at the beach] |Click| I took a close look at the snapshot I took just now and admired one of the last moments of the endearing sunset that had been captured in my phone. So dreamy and romantic. "I wish I could watch it with her." I let out a huge sigh as reality hit me hard, reminding me that she wouldn't probably think the same while admiring the sunset. For a few moments, I just stood there staring at the waves in a hope that they would wash away my worries. But I soon felt that it wasn't doing any help but only making me miss her even more. Not even once had she acknowledged me, but I can't help but think about her. She has her own way of making me amused, though it had never been intentional. Girls like her are very rare nowadays, and I'm glad to have found her. "I hope the heaven and the earth bless us and destine u

On my way back to the room, the cancellation was successfully done. Feeling so triumphant about it, I rushed to get ready to check out. Only then did I notice that Chen Li Yi was nowhere to be seen. Before I could call him, I received a text. |"Uncle, I'm at the gaming lounge, Have a safe trip, Bye Bye."| That mischievous punk! But thanks to him, I was kinda able to reserve a passenger seat for her. In 15 minutes, I was ready and was already on my way to check out. In another 5 minutes I was out and following a taxi ride, I arrived at the airport. Having completed all the airport checking and stuff, I seated myself with my earphones, apparently waiting for her to appear. Time was passing but she wasn't here yet. Did someone else occupy the reservation?!... Impossible! I couldn't think of a way and found myself feeling the urge to go back and check, beginning to walk towards the exit while there were o
