313 The First Encounter with Meng Yu

“Grandpa!” said Guan Lei loudly in disagreement.

“Alright, this time you’ll stay in Tong City. I’ll have that Li family kid keep an eye on you. Don’t even think about sneaking back,” said Grandpa Guan firmly before hanging up.

After hanging up the phone only Guan Yi remembered the original intention of the phone call. He wanted to give this son of a b*tch who cheated him a good scolding. But in the end, he didn’t expect Guan Lei could get away with it.

Guan Yi shook his head. After scolding Guan Lei “a pixie”, he called Li Zhe.

“Grandpa Guan,” said Li Zhe respectfully into the phone.

Guan Yi’s stern voice came from the other end of the phone. “During the birthday banquet this time, you have to keep an eye on Lei. Don’t let him return to Beijing.”

Li Zhe looked at the night outside the window and asked in a serious tone, “Will the person behind the scenes take the bait?”

Guan Yi heaved a long sigh. There was some uncertainty in his tone as he said, “Since that person wants to end the Guan family’s bloodline, I think there’s no reason for him to let go of such a good opportunity.”

Li Zhe retracted his gaze and replied, “Alright, I understand. Don’t worry, Grandpa Guan. I’ll keep an eye on Guan Lei and make sure he doesn’t go to Beijing.”

“Also…” Guan Yi paused for a few seconds before hesitantly asking, “Is he alright?”

Meng Yu’s face flashed across Li Zhe’s mind. He thought of Meng Yu, who had been using a fake smile to numb himself all these years. His heart couldn’t help but ache a little, and then he truthfully said, “It’s still the same. It’s just that he has become more and more radical to investigate first young master’s matter.”

On the other end of the phone, Guan Yi also fell into silence. After a long time, he said, “Try to persuade him again. What happened back then had little to do with him, so he shouldn’t take all the blame on himself.”

Li Zhe sighed. “I understand, Grandpa Guan. I will. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Yu.

After hanging up Guan Yi’s call, Li Zhe sank deep into the sofa. His mind was filled with the image of Meng Yu, who was unwilling to let himself go and had fallen into the abyss of self-blame.

Li Zhe took out a photo from his pocket. The slightly yellowed photo looked quite old. In the photo, there was a young man with a clean and bright smile. The young man was holding a book, his head slightly raised, looking at the yellow sky.

Li Zhe’s thoughts slowly returned to the place where he had first met Meng Yu.

Li Zhe, who had come to the school for a walk, was looking for an angle with his camera. He wanted to capture the beauty of the autumn wind and the falling leaves.

Finally, a gentle breeze blew, blowing off the leaves of the tree. Just as Li Zhe pressed the shutter, a young man entered unexpectedly, and the original scene instantly became full of life.

Thus, Li Zhe recorded the beautiful scene of the young man mistakenly entering the colorful autumn scenery.

Li Zhe put down the camera in a daze and looked at the young man who had suddenly barged into his world.

As if he felt Li Zhe’s gaze, the young man slowly turned his head. His clear black and white eyes were still stained with the smile, and he looked straight into Li Zhe’s eyes.

At that moment, Li Zhe felt as if the entire world had quieted down. Other than the young man in front of him, nothing else could catch his eye.

When the young man saw Li Zhe and the camera in his hand, he seemed to suddenly understand. He immediately bowed apologetically and fled to the side.

In the end, Li Zhe’s gaze seemed to be glued to the young man. He followed the young man’s figure. Wherever the young man went, his gaze followed.

The teenager Meng Yu looked at the stranger wearing a mask in confusion, and then looked at himself. He didn’t find anything dirty on him, so he didn’t understand why the man kept staring at him.

“Why are you staring at me? Is there something dirty on my body?” Meng Yu asked, puzzled.

Li Zhe seemed to have been pulled back to reality from a dream. When he saw those beautiful eyes staring at him, Li Zhe was at a loss. He didn’t even know where to put his hand that was holding the camera.

Seeing Li Zhe’s expression, Meng Yu suddenly laughed, and sweet dimples appeared on his fair face. “Why are you so nervous?”

Li Zhe was dumbfounded. He couldn’t find any other words to describe Meng Yu in his heart other than good-looking.

Meng Yu didn’t get angry seeing that Li Zhe didn’t answer him. He only looked at the dazed young man wearing a mask with a kind expression.

Li Zhe tried his best to calm himself down. After silently scolding himself for being useless, he slowly said, “I’m not nervous. I just think you look good.”
