Chapter 61: Chapter 61 I’ve Seen You
Lin Xian looked at that sweet and agreeable smile, and it was hard to discern between it and the smiling face of CC from his last dream.
But the eye contact with Chu Anqing was fleeting, and she continued to wave and smile at other people around.
Lin Xian began to breathe...
In that case, it seemed that Chu Anqing was not familiar with him at all, one might even say completely a stranger.
There wasn’t a single hint of special recognition in her eyes when she looked at him, just the polite and elegant demeanor from before, same as she would show to any guest in the hall.
However.
...
The degree of similarity that was “copy-pasted” made Lin Xian somewhat question his previous speculations.
He wasn’t given any extra time to ponder as Chu Shanhe, smiling cheerfully, led Chu Anqing through the crowd and walked up to him.
Zhao Yingjun stepped forward first:
“Mister Chu, we are really grateful for your presence despite your busy schedule.”
Chu Shanhe seemed to be in a great mood and chuckled as he replied,
“Not at all, not at all, it’s just the bad weather that caused traffic delays, so I apologize for being late.”
Zhao Yingjun then turned to look at Chu Anqing:
“Anqing, long time no see, how is college life treating you?”
Chu Anqing giggled, her eyes curving into crescent moons, her features blooming with pear blossoms:
“Thank you for your concern, sister, everything is going well.”
Chu Shanhe looked at his daughter with eyes full of indulgence, then raised his head to look at Lin Xian:
“This young man has an impressive appearance, he must also be a capable and reliable part of your company, right?”
Zhao Yingjun smiled and nodded her head:
“Mister Chu, you flatter us. This is the creator of Rhein Cat, the youngest department head in our company, Lin Xian.”
“As it happens, Lin Xian is also a talented graduate who just finished his studies at East Sea University this fall, and is an alumnus of both Professor Xu Yun and Anqing. It is truly fate that brings us together today.”
Upon hearing that Lin Xian was a student who had graduated from East Sea University, a flash of recognition crossed Chu Shanhe’s eyes, and the smile he gave Lin Xian also warmed considerably:
“Just graduated this year, young man? Which college did you belong to?”
“College of Art and Design,” Lin Xian answered truthfully.
“Then it is indeed fate!” Chu Shanhe laughed heartily:
“Anqing is also in the dance major at the College of Art and Design. She’s loved dance since she was a child and even performed at the freshman welcome event—”
“Dad!”
With a girlish voice, Chu Anqing looked at Chu Shanhe reproachfully:
“There’s no need to bring up such a trivial matter...”
Having said that,
she looked at Lin Xian and said with a smile:
“Hello Senior Lin Xian, I’m a freshman this year.”
“My name is Chu Anqing.”
Lin Xian smiled and nodded:
“Hello, hello.”
And for that reason, Lin Xian had heard her voice through the loudspeakers... but since he heard the voice without seeing the person, he didn’t make a lasting impression and had never connected to this clue.
“This is even stranger...”
Lin Xian swirled his glass.
Looking at the situation now, it wasn’t just that CC and Chu Anqing were identical in appearance and stature; even their voices and intonations were indistinguishable.
Furthermore, their ages also seemed to match perfectly, both appearing to be around seventeen or eighteen years old.
To say they are not the same person... even Lin Xian himself couldn’t believe such a coincidence.
Although from the perspective of temporal logic, this wasn’t something the yet-to-be-invented Hibernation Pod could explain, not even 600 years later.
But...
There must be other reasons, which would need further verification before drawing conclusions.
In any case, it was best to enter a dream as soon as possible and go find CC.
...
Chu Shanhe and Professor Xu Yun were deep in animated conversation, toasting each other as if they planned to chat for a while.
Zhao Yingjun looked towards Chu Anqing:
“An Qing, shall we go over there for a stroll? Have some snacks?”
“Sure.”
As the two prepared to leave, Zhao Yingjun turned back and looked at Lin Xian:
“Why don’t you join us, Lin Xian? It will give Mister Chu and Teacher Xu some time to talk.”
“Since you and An Qing graduated from the same school and college, as a senior, you should share some experiences with your junior.”
Lin Xian nodded.
He couldn’t get a word in with Chu Shanhe and Professor Xu Yun, and just standing there wasn’t less awkward; he’d been wanting to slip away.
He followed behind the two young women.
Given the height difference, he was able to look down upon Chu Anqing’s fair neck and soft shoulders. Her gown was off-shoulder, revealing spotless, jade-like skin without reserve.
Lin Xian noticed a shallow indent about the size of a fifty-cent coin on the delicate skin of Chu Anqing’s left upper arm, presumably the only flaw on her otherwise flawless skin.
But that couldn’t be helped.
That shallow indent was a scar left from receiving the BCG Vaccine in childhood. For most people, it wasn’t noticeable, almost invisible. But due to individual physique, some people’s BCG Vaccine scars were very obvious, visible at a glance.
This kind of scar, resulting from a vaccine received in one’s later years... might be the most precise anti-counterfeiting mark.
“Senior Lin Xian.”
Chu Anqing turned around, her eyes brimming with smiles as she looked at Lin Xian.
Lin Xian came to his senses and offered a polite smile:
“What is it, Miss Chu.”
“Just call me An Qing.”
Chu Anqing’s gaze was clear:
“I just remembered...”
She looked up at Lin Xian.
Blinking her eyes:
“I’ve seen you before!”
