Three, the wolf in front and the tiger behind

This is her first time openly pursuing a stranger, and she used the most clichéd and trite method of flirting.

The wolf did not speak, merely smiling with a facade that did not reach his heart, while innocence was nearly drowning in his silence

In front of the fitting mirror, she came to a slow stop

"Naive." A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, and she was instantly petrified on the spot

And this affirmative tone can only be found in him

Moreover, it seems you have been sitting here reading a magazine for quite some time without attending the show. This is one of the reasons I find you particularly intriguing. In fact, fashion shows are merely a gimmick to create hype and increase exposure. Nowadays, with the rapid pace of the internet, within an hour of a designer's curtain call, there are countless live photos flooding the web. Those imitators can easily sell large quantities of counterfeit products that closely resemble the originals before the legitimate production orders are completed. In other words, fashion shows are also a form of collective suicide, and those who attend the shows, aside from satisfying their own vanity, are also witnessing the designers' self-destruction.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were Kevin Chun..." she almost moaned, thinking that indeed fate was against her, having flirted with her future boss before even securing a job.

Well, one could say that. She composed herself and forced a smile.

A fragrant breeze swept in, and a hand clapped onto her shoulder, calling her by her Chinese name in a brusque manner: "Tian Zhen? So you have already arrived."

She slightly tilted her head and saw Chen Xu and that woman sitting in another corner, still at a safe distance from her, which allowed her to temporarily relax.

Although he has black hair and black eyes, typical of Asian appearance, he could be of Japanese or Korean descent, or a British-born Chinese.

Sometimes, she truly detests the feeling of being completely under his control.

In the mirror, she wears a white silk shirt, the hem tucked into a black high-waisted A-line skirt, no longer the youthful girl in jeans and a T-shirt from before, except for her voluminous long curly hair, which has remained unchanged.

Damn it—she gritted her teeth in frustration; he actually used the word "funny" to describe her. Instinctively, she believed that he did not mean to say she was interesting, but rather that she was ridiculous and laughable

"No problem," he said slowly, responding with a smile, "she is very amusing"

Flashing lights illuminated the surroundings, and she stared in astonishment at Nelly, who sat down beside her, and at the man sitting opposite her—he was Kevin Chun

If only she could wish that this moment were like countless nights in the past, where she was in a dream; upon waking from the dream, she still found herself alone, and he had still never appeared.

Behind the runway, the building is filled with discount exhibition areas for various clothing brands, and many people rush to take advantage of this annual opportunity to shop extravagantly

"Are you saying that you are interested in me?" He spoke leisurely, his sharp gaze sweeping across her face

I apologize, "" naively and awkwardly opened wwwhetushu.com .com, "" could you let me sit for a while, just for a while?"

Why? The slender fingers tapped on the table, and Tian Zhen discovered the simple yet uniquely designed platinum ring on his ring finger, instantly feeling a sense of helplessness—she had actually chosen to pursue a married man

Thus, in the fleeting passage of time, we hurriedly grow together, and there are too many landscapes that have receded, leaving us no time to behold them together again

Many people were already seated in the coffee room. Tian Zhen looked around and noticed that Nelly had not yet arrived, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. However, the next moment, she became completely stiff due to the sound of laughter approaching from behind— it was Chen Xu

Damn it, even after so many years, even with his back turned to her, he could still call her name without a trace of doubt, completely certain that he had not mistaken her.

A person's hand once gently passed through her hair, smiling as they said, like a doll

The master of the voice is the man sitting opposite Tian Zhen. He has a sharply defined face with cold, hard lines, and is wearing a simple yet clean and elegant black V-neck cashmere sweater.

"On what basis?" The man spoke淡淡地, looking at her with an expressionless face, "I do not know you."

"Duan, Tian, Zhen," the enchanting voice slowly pronounced her name, a hint of mockery appearing in the dark eyes, "Tian Zhen, is a good name"

"Sister, are you feeling anxious?" the wolf asked with a faint smile.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she heard someone approaching in high heels, calling out "Kevin".

Whether horizontally or vertically, it all leads to death. She gritted her teeth, stared at him for a while, and decided to go all out.

It seemed as though a century had passed before innocence finally understood what had transpired

Raising her head again, she met a pair of sharp black eyes. Beneath the brown metallic-framed lenses, those eyes were cold and profound, making it almost impossible to look directly at them

Taking a deep breath, Innocence turned around

Surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind, she is truly besieged on all sides.

I beg your pardon for my lack of understanding, but I still cannot comprehend the reason for your attraction to me

There is indeed very little news about him; this novice only realized today what he actually looks like. Thinking back to their earlier conversations, she felt as if she might faint. However, what made her even more restless was the familiar gaze behind her.

Naive, she nodded, only feeling a buzzing in her head, her palms drenched in sweat; she knew she was completely talking nonsense

Firstly, your dressing style today caught my eye at first glance. "Tian Zhen pointed to the exquisitely handcrafted gray suit jacket draped over his chair. "During the reign of George V, gray became the mainstream color for summer social events. This understatedly luxurious color evokes the sanctity of doves from a religious perspective. From the consistently rigorous and simple dressing style of the Anglo-Saxons, a genuine English suit should only consist of deep gray, ocean blue, white, and sky blue, complemented by a black sweater. This is what is meant by being half elegant and half unruly.

Her mind was blank, and her hands and feet seemed almost uncontrollable as she hurried to the last table against the wall, sitting down with her back to them

The person stared at her in silence

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Tian Zhen just discovered that he was wearing a blue diamond earring in his left ear. It was a unique shade of blue, with countless facets reflecting an enchanting hue, yet changing its brilliance with the shift in angle

It is Chen Xu; this voice, she will never forget.

"Excuse me, miss, may I pass through?" The naive one mechanically moved aside as a woman struggled to push through the crowd ahead, carrying a large bag of spoils

In fact, when feeling emotionally down, being amidst a lively crowd can provide a sense of security, as no one will pay attention to whether you are happy or sad.

She looked at her watch again, momentarily taken aback, and then quickly walked towards the door

She cautiously glanced around, only to find that there were no other available seats. Meanwhile, Chen Xu and her companion were enjoying each other's company immensely, showing no intention of leaving.

It seems you have been chatting for a while?" Nelly said with a smile, "How about it, Kevin? Is it alright for Tianzhen to be your assistant?

The naive pen suddenly stopped, and he raised his head in astonishment—although his pronunciation was somewhat stiff, his Chinese could definitely be considered fluent

Tian Zhen and the book were taken aback, staring at him in astonishment—this man was truly cold to the core

Tian Zhen took a deep breath—this man was simply driving her to the brink of death

Naively unaware of when she had arrived here, everyone around her was eagerly selecting their favorites, while she stood empty-handed, her gaze vacant.

She can be one hundred percent sure that Chen Xu recognized her

"Miss, this seat is taken. I am waiting for a friend." A low voice immediately followed, carrying a hint of arrogance

A few seconds later, she made a move that made her feel a bit embarrassed. She reached out to take the notebook and pen in front of him, opened a page, and quickly wrote down her name and phone number, pushing it towards him: "My name is Duan Tianzhen. In fact, I have been paying attention to you for quite a while now. I would like to... if possible, could I know your name and number?"

However, does what he said mean that she has gotten the job? She felt somewhat relieved, thinking that at least today was not a wasted trip

"Are you done?" After her nearly incoherent barrage of words, he spoke slowly, even remembering to order her a cup of coffee.

Tian Zhen glanced at the notebook with a tingling sensation on his scalp, then suddenly realized: "Do you not know how to read Chinese? I forgot to write down my English name."

The T-stage show is almost over. I hurriedly rushed out just now without explaining to the editor named Nelly, but at least I need to catch up with the meeting with her and Kevin Chun.

I ... ...
