Tangchen Yipin District entrance.
A young woman in work attire hurriedly ran to the entrance, looking around as if searching for something.
"Security guard brother, have you seen a handsome young man arrive?" the young woman promptly asked the security guard.
The security guard replied, "A handsome young man? Well, there was a delivery guy here earlier, quite handsome. At first, I thought he was here to deliver food and didnāt let him in, but he said he was waiting for someone."
The young woman laughed, "Thatās him, Mr. Lin. The information says heās a deliveryman. Where did he go?"
The security guard said, "He went inside. A group of people just came, including a property owner whoās apparently his friend, and they brought him in."
The young woman was surprised; so Mr. Lin actually has friends here.
"Do you know who his friend, the property owner, is?" the young woman asked.
The security guard said, "I do. I helped her deliver something upstairs before. She lives on the 10th floor of Building C, Miss He. Miss Chen, why are you looking for this delivery guy?"
The young woman said, "Iām the one heās waiting for; heās the property owner here."
The security guardās expression changed, blurting out, "What, heās the property owner?"
A delivery guy, actually an owner in Tangchen Yipin? Thatās unbelievable.
The young woman revealed a mysterious smile, "Heās not just any property owner; he bought an entire building here."
"Huh?"
The security guard was petrified on the spot.
At this moment, the 10th floor of Building C.
Chen Sikai suddenly spoke, shifting everyoneās attention to Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan was Little Fangās middle school classmate and had a crush on her. Lin Fan, is this true?" Chen Sikai looked at Lin Fan with an amused expression.
After hearing this from He Xiaofang, Chen Sikai immediately decided to meet Lin Fan.
Lin Fan, with a calm face, said, "Itās true."
He Xiaofang was indeed the idol of his middle school days. Everyone has a fondness for beauty, especially during such innocent times, so he didnāt feel ashamed and had no reason to hide it.
Everyone was initially surprised, but then started laughing.
"No way, he liked Little Fang?"
"This is hilarious, a deliveryman not weighing his worth!"
"What qualifications does he have compared to Sikai; theyāre worlds apart!"
"Heās like a frog wanting to eat swan meat!"
Chen Sikaiās actions put He Xiaofang in an awkward position. She hadnāt anticipated Chen Sikai would bring this up publicly; had she known, she wouldnāt have told him.
"Lin Fan only liked me back in middle school; itās nothing serious. We havenāt seen each other for years, and although I knew he secretly liked me, I only regarded him as an ordinary classmate and never had that kind of thought for him," He Xiaofang explained.
Her explanation seemed to defend Lin Fan, but the focus was on the latter part, emphasizing that it was purely a one-sided affection from Lin Fan.
Everyone laughed even more.
"I knew it, he was just deluding himself!"
"This poor guy could only crush on a great beauty!"
"Little Fang has such good taste, sheād never go for him."
"Itās right Little Fang doesnāt like him; she has such a perfect boyfriend like Sikai now, living in a billion-dollar mansion that makes others envious."
Listening to this, He Xiaofang quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully she clarified things in time; if people misunderstood her as liking Lin Fan too, it would be so embarrassing, especially since Lin Fan is a deliveryman she really looks down upon.
But Chen Sikai obviously didnāt plan to stop at this, saying, "Lin Fan, do you still like Little Fang now?"
His words turned everyoneās attention to Lin Fan, waiting for him to answer. He Xiaofang was also watching Lin Fan, a bit anxious, worried Lin Fan might say he still likes her.
If Lin Fan said he still liked her, the ridicule from everyone would surely intensify.
Considering He Xiaofang now has a boyfriend, none other than the incredible Chen Sikai, itās clear Lin Fan canāt compete with Chen Sikai on any front, having no standing to challenge him for He Xiaofang.
"What are you thinking? Little Fang already has an excellent boyfriend like Sikai. If a deliveryman had any self-awareness, heād know better than to try!" someone couldnāt resist saying.
Lin Fan looked at Chen Sikai, amused. Clearly, this person was upset learning about his old crush on He Xiaofang, eager to humiliate him publicly.
On the surface, Lin Fan did seem like someone easily suppressed by this situation.
Lin Fan smiled, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
Lin Fanās attitude annoyed Chen Sikai, who did harbor resentment and even a hint of suspicion about Lin Fan and He Xiaofangās relationship.
"Of course, go ahead and say it truthfully. Thereās nothing wrong with liking someone, especially since youāre just a deliveryman and Iām the Great Huaxia Regionās president for Sile International. Surely, I wouldnāt fear you as a rival?" Chen Sikai chuckled.
Everyone laughed at Chen Sikaiās words.
Lin Fanās gaze fell on He Xiaofang, "Then Iāll be honest. Despite all these years, I havenāt forgotten you. After seeing you again last night, I didnāt sleep well. Iāve realized how deeply I still love you."
That wasnāt true, though; the childish infatuation had long vanished. But Chen Sikaiās provocation made Lin Fan want to annoy him, knowing those words would surely upset him.
Sure enough, Chen Sikaiās face turned cold, feeling extremely disgruntled. Were it not for years of cultivated restraint, he might have wanted to hit Lin Fan.
Lin Fan still liking He Xiaofang!
A mere deliveryman liking his girlfriend felt offensive to him.
Lin Fanās words also surprised the others.
He Xiaofang was especially shocked, "Lin Fan..."
She truly hadnāt expected Lin Fan to still like her after so many years; he was too sentimental!
If sheād known, she wouldnāt have invited Lin Fan over last night. The scene now was just too awkward.
"Heās really a frog wishing for swan meat!"
"No self-awareness at all; how dare he like Little Fang?"
"Social bottom-dweller through and through, utter lack of decorum, saying such things before her boyfriend!"
"Is he attempting to swoop in and steal her?"
"Laughable, as if he could! Sikai has a billion-dollar mansion, and what does he have, a beat-up e-bike?"
Everyone mocked without restraint.
Lin Fan seemed oblivious to the ridicule, merely observing Chen Sikai with amusement as his intent was fulfilled seeing Chen Sikaiās displeased face.
Chen Sikai contained his displeasure, outwardly acting indifferent, saying, "Haha, didnāt expect you to be so sentimental, but itās unfortunate because Little Fang is my girlfriend now. You should give up. Little Fang, your thoughts?"
He Xiaofang, realizing Chen Sikaiās apparent irritation, was somewhat anxious. She couldnāt let Lin Fan ruin her relationship with Chen Sikai.
"Lin Fan, after so many years, why do you still like me? Why bother?" He Xiaofang said, a bit exasperated.
