The shopping centre.
First floor.
The men’s bathroom.
“Ah! That feels good!” Lin Fan’s legs were getting a little numb. He had been squatting for at least twenty minutes. His thighs felt like they were on fire. He had to get up soon.
This shopping centre was a good location. Lin Fan had thought of opening his fortune telling shop here once, but he didn’t have the finances to do so.
At that moment, someone called out Lin Fan’s name.
“Young Fan!”
Lin Fan was startled. Who was it?
The nickname ‘Young Fan’ was his nickname in high school.
Lin Fan was pleasantly surprised as he turned around. “Big Tree…”
The man in front of him was tall, dark and handsome.
He never thought that he would meet one of his better friends from high school in the shopping mall.
“Ah, Young Fan! It really is you! I didn’t recognize you at first.” Yan Shu Ren excitedly said. He couldn’t believe that it was his good friend from high school.
Both of them were good friends in high school. But after they went on to university, they weren’t as close as they used to be.
Although they didn’t contact each other often, they would still meet up every school holiday at Lin Fan’s house.
“Big Tree, you should have told me that you were coming over to Shanghai! I would have brought you around!” Lin Fan laughed as he said, turning to look at the two girls and one guy behind him.
“And who are these three?” Lin Fan asked.
“Young Fan, this is my girlfriend Chen Mei Tong. The other girl is her best friend and this dude is her boyfriend.”
“All looking good!” Lin Fan said.
“Hey fill me up! What are you doing in Shanghai?” Yan Shu Ren laughed as he asked.
“Nothing much, just opened a shop over at Cloud Street passing my days. You’re here on vacation?” Lin Fan asked cheerily.
“You can say that.” Yan Shu Ren congratulated Lin Fan. “I didn’t do very well in my exams, so I’m here to look for a job. Just so happens that my girlfriend’s best friend’s boyfriend is quite familiar with the city.”
Lin Fan found the situation rather interesting.
“Xiao Yan, we should get going.” Zhang Guo Yang said annoyed, as he stood there. He sized up Lin Fan and gave him a death stare. Lin Fan didn’t want anything to do with that guy.
Wang Xiao Yan and Chen Mei Tong were best friends, she managed to find a boyfriend with a car and an apartment. She followed him everywhere he went. Not wanting to anger him, she pulled on Chen Mei Tong’s sleeve, motioning her to leave.
“Big tree, if you have anything to attend to, please go and do so. I’ll leave you my number and if anything hit me up.” Lin Fan said.
“Alright, we should meet up once I’ve settled down here.” Yan Shu Ren was annoyed that he had to leave after such a short time of meeting his old friend. What was the hurry? Yan Shu Ren passed his phone number to Lin Fan.
“Young Fan, I’ll take my leave.” Yan Shu Ren said as he waved back.
Lin Fan grinned at him.
Lin Fan walked back to his shop after Big tree left.
…
“Big Tree, who’s your friend?” Chen Mei Tong asked him softly. She met him at university. She didn’t have any self-interest in Lin Fan. She just wanted to know her boyfriend’s friends a little better.
She looked for her best friend to help Yan Shu Ren. Chen Mei Tong didn’t think much of it at first, but then she started to feel a little uncomfortable.
