Everyone in the conference room turned their eyes to Lu Weixi. For a moment, the room fell into a deafening silence.

Lu Weixi was slightly surprised, why would Qin Zhiyou come looking for her? He had never visited her at work or approached her in public before. She glanced out the window. Indeed, Qin Zhiyou’s car was parked by the roadside. “What color was his shirt?” she asked.

“White.”

So, it had to be Secretary Wang. Lu Weixi reassured herself and instructed Xiaochen to go handle it for her.

A moment later, Xiaochen came in with the hairpin, a peculiar look in his eyes —after all, such an item was somewhat personal. Lu Weixi calmly accepted it in front of everyone, “My car broke down yesterday, and I hitched a ride this morning. I must have left it then.”

Turning her gaze back to the roadside, Secretary Wang returned to the car, said something, then the vehicle sped up as if trying to escape, like this place was some dreadful garbage dump it needed to evade.

Lu Weixi didn’t pay any attention. After assigning tasks, she had to inspect a completed project in the afternoon. It was a ground floor apartment in an old residential building, inhabited by an elderly couple. They had lived overseas for a decade but being elderly, felt inclined to return to their roots, hence the old apartment needed renovations.

There was an osmanthus tree in the yard. Although it was not yet in season, one could imagine when the time came in August, the courtyard would be remarkably beautiful.

During the inspection, Xiaochen and Xiaoqian chatted intermittently with the old couple. Somehow, they started talking about first love. The grandmother said with a smile that she and her husband first met under an osmanthus tree. It was love at first sight. That’s why when they bought this house, they insisted on having an osmanthus tree in the yard.

Xiaochen seemed envious and asked Lu Weixi, “Lu, have you ever experienced love at first sight?”

Lu Weixi looked up at the osmanthus tree and thought to herself, not love at first sight, but she indeed had been stunned at first sight.

And it wasn’t by her first love or ex-boyfriend, but by—Qin Zhiyou.

That was when she was eighteen years old. She, together with Xue Feifei and another girl, were accepted into N University. The architecture school of N University was known for its handsome boys and the second son of the Qin family in Yan City, Qin Zhisu, was reportedly the most handsome amongst them. Right after they had moved their belongings into the dormitory, they, along with a few other girls from the interior design department, planned to visit the neighboring civil engineering department to check out the handsome guys.

However, the upper classmate who guided them to their accommodations mysteriously claimed, “The most handsome guy at N University isn’t Qin Zhisu, but his cousin, Qin Zhiyou. Though the guy is a bit…” She shook her head, “he should be at the cafe near the east gate of the school right now. The most handsome one surrounded by a group of girls is him.”

Being incredibly proactive, the three of them rushed to the east gate immediately. They circled the cafe three times but couldn’t find him. Just as they were about to leave in disappointment, they suddenly smelled the fragrance of osmanthus.

Following the scent, they arrived at a quiet garden. In the distance, they seemed to hear someone talking about “drunkenness,” and “that night.” Smelling gossip, Lu Weixi immediately ran over.

Under the osmanthus tree not far away, a man and a woman were standing. The man was tall and lean, leaning against the tree trunk. Hearing a sound, he turned his head and looked in their direction..
