Murong Xue looked at Ouyang Shaochen, he put down the cup that was pressed against his lips. His expression was cool, he moved forward elegantly. He was truly handsome and gorgeous.

Everyone was stretching their necks to take a good look at Ouyang Shaochen, to witness the glamour of Ouyang Shaochen. This was Ouyang shizi, he was genuinely good looking, even better than the description of the people who met him before.

It was really a great reward to see Ouyang shizi when they came to Yubao Xuan.

Shu Nan Xiang was standing in the center of the auction hall, gazing at the face she had been missed all the time. Her eyes only gazed at Ouyang shizi at this moment; when he left the capital, she didn’t get to say goodbye to him because she was at her great grandmother’s house. A few days ago when he came back to the capital, coincidently she was at her great grandmother’s house and couldn’t meet up with him. It’s been almost two decades since they last met each other.

He was taller than before, much more pleasant looking as well. She had grown up, missing him all this time.

“Ouyang shizi, it’s long time that I haven’t seen you.” Shu Nan Xiang said gently.

“Miss Shu.” Ouyang Shaochen nodded as he replied.

Shu Nan Xiang’s face was filled with the happiness that a young girl had when sees her crush. She held her silk handkerchief tightly in her hand, she was a bit nervous. In a reserved manner, she said, “I came back to the capital just now. I planned to pay a visit tomorrow, never thought that I will see you here.”

“My parents are not in the capital right now.” said Ouyang Shaochen.

“Is it? I’ve bought the finest pearl powder from Chuan Zhou as a gift for wangfei.” Shu Nan Xiang said with a broad smile on her face.

Ouyang Shaochen was quiet.

“Shizi, what’s the relationship between you and Shu Nan Xiang?” Murong Xue asked curiously, they must be very close.

“Her grandfather was the most famous confucianist in the capital. He was my master when I was five years old. He taught me for a few years.” Ouyang ShaoChen said softly.

Murong Xue nodded, “It turned out to be both of you are childhood sweethearts.” No wonder Shu Nan Xiang gazed at him in full admiration and such a way like he was her long lost husband. They actually had a special relationship back then.

Ouyang Shaochen frowned a little and said in a low voice, “I was learning from the master in the front yard, I’ve never stepped into her house compound. We’re not that close as we only meet once or twice per year…”

“So both of you knew each other since young and grew together, it’s right to say that both of you are childhood sweethearts.” Murong Xue winked. Staring at Murong Xue, Ouyang Shaochen thought to himself : Why didn’t she remember the memories they share when they were young?
