Tempting Lips: Lose Myself To Love You

The city was bustling. People living in the bustling city might have already been used to living in a hurry, working, falling in love...

And behind every person in a hurry on the street, there must be a story that was not in a hurry.

In a big city like A City, Selina Bai's company was quite large. It was a magazine office. She had been working here since graduation. Selina Bai had been hardworking all the time. It took others 6 months to be a regular employee, but she only used 4 months. After she became a regular employee, she worked harder and slowly became a department manager from an ordinary employee with her own strength.

Hard-working, serious, ambitious, modest... All colleagues would comment on her like this when they talked about her at work.

Friendly, generous, honest... When it came to her in private, people would think of these words.

After becoming the manager of the periodical office through her own efforts, Selina Bai was more serious than before, and she had never felt superior.

Sitting in the office, Selina Bai stared at the screen of the computer and confirmed the content of the meeting next Tuesday again and again. Sometimes she typed on the keyboard and sometimes clicked the mouse. Under the willow leaf eyebrows, there was a pair of big eyes as clear as ice, a straight nose and thin lips. Although her appearance was not stunning, Selina Bai looked very comfortable. With a light makeup, she looked more capable.

Her cool appearance and easy-going nature might be the reason why she attracted others.

At this time, her phone rang. It was a song from Westlife.

"Hello? It's Selina Bai." Selina Bai picked up the phone without looking at it. Her tone was plain, but her speech was short and refined.

"Hello, Miss Selina. Have you finished your work?" Bryce Song guessed that Selina Bai didn't look at her phone, because Selina Bai always chatted with him happily.

"I'm still busy. Sorry, who is this?" Selina Bai answered the question from the other end of the phone, but she found something wrong in the middle of her answer. 'Oh, who else could it be except Bryce?' "Bryce! Don't be so annoying. It's fun to fool me?" After knowing that it was Bryce Song, Selina Bai's tone immediately changed. She not only complained to him, but also acted coquettishly.

"Miss Selina, can you check your phone before answering the phone?" Bryce Song teased her, but felt a little helpless.

"I've been very busy these two days. The periodical office is going to add a new section to 'Route'. I'm checking the materials of the meeting." Selina Bai smiled sheepishly. But maybe it was because she had to work overtime day and night to add new sections recently, her tone also revealed a lot of exhaustion.

"Honey, work is important. But don't make yourself so tired, okay? Girls should drink more water. Don't look at the computer all day long." Bryce Song sensed the tiredness in Selina Bai's tone and felt sorry for her.

"Got it! Grandpa Song! Of course I will take good care of myself. Besides, if I can't do it, I will still have you!" "Grandpa Song" was the nickname Selina Bai gave him. To be exact, it was a term of endearment. Bryce Song was often nagging Selina Bai because he cared about Selina Bai. Although she called him Grandpa Song, Selina Bai always felt warm in her heart.

"That's good. Besides, Miss Selina, have you forgotten the dinner tonight?" It was Valentine's Day today, which was also Selina Bai's lunar birthday. Therefore, for Selina Bai and Bryce Song, this day had two meanings.

"No! No, I haven't! I will go there on time." Selina Bai sat up straight and replied subconsciously. From time to time, she would forget their date. At the beginning, when Bryce Song asked her if she had forgotten, Selina Bai would honestly answer that she had forgotten. But after a few times, Selina Bai had learned her lesson. It was better to tell a white lie than to disappoint Bryce Song.

"Well, that's good. I'll wait for you. Be careful when you come, okay?"

"Okay! See you tonight, Grandpa Song."

'Well, sometimes Bryce really looks like an old man...'

Bryce Song was Selina Bai's boyfriend. They had been together for two years, and he could always take good care of Selina Bai. But sometimes they would quarrel for some trivial things, just like ordinary couples, but not often.

"Selina, it's time to get off work! Shall we go together? Tonight, we will go to the same place to play with the old-fashioned style. Remember to dress up according to the theme. Besides, the day is special. Don't forget to bring Mr. Bryce with you..." Standing outside the door, Emily Sun asked. She was the famous party king in the company.

"No, we have a plan today." Selina Bai smiled at her, "You can go by yourselves. We'll join you next time."

"Oh, I see. Just the two of you. Well, you must come next time!"

"Sure."

"Have a romantic night tonight. Besides, this is our birthday gift for you! I was going to give it to you tonight." Emily Sun came in and put a delicate box on the table.

"Well, thank you. It's our treat next time!"

"That's a deal. Let's go first."

"Well, have a good time!"

After Emily Sun left, Selina Bai looked at the clock and found that it was already 5 o'clock. Thinking of the date tonight, Selina Bai was very looking forward to it. She had known Bryce Song for so many years, and he would give her blessings and gifts on her birthday. Especially after the two of them got together, her birthday was different every year.

Selina Bai packed up her things quickly and fixed her makeup a little. She pursed her lips, took her bag and went out.

The appointed place was not far from the company, so Selina Bai decided to walk there.

When she arrived at East Shopping Mall, her phone rang.

"Hello, Grandpa Song." Seeing that it was a call from Bryce Song, Selina Bai was in a good mood.

"Well, have you come out? I've arrived." In fact, Bryce Song had already arrived when he called Selina Bai just now. He made all kinds of preparations in the reserved private room just to give Selina Bai a surprise.

"I'll be there soon. Don't be in such a hurry, Grandpa Song!"

"You always say it will be ready soon. Where are you now?"

"I'm at the East Shopping Mall now. About 200 meters away, I'll arrive at the Century Hotel." Selina Bai looked ahead and roughly estimated the distance. When she saw the Century Hotel, she found that the entrance of the hotel was delicately dressed up. There was a red carpet at the door, and a flower door. Beside the flower door, there was a wedding car. "Hey, Grandpa Song, someone is getting married today. I saw the decoration of the Century Hotel. It's so beautiful!"

"Why are you so happy to see someone else get married? Do you also have any thoughts about me?" Bryce Song teased.

"What? What are you talking about? I don't know that." Selina Bai began to play dumb. In fact, she was not in a hurry to get married, because she was very satisfied with her current state.

"You are a stubborn girl. You know what I'm thinking about." In fact, Bryce Song was also testing Selina Bai, but he still couldn't get the result.

Unconsciously, Selina Bai had almost reached the gate of Century Hotel.

"I'm at the gate of Century Hotel now. Wow, other people's wedding dress is so beautiful. The groom is really..."

At first, Selina Bai just wanted to brag about other people's wedding. But when she really walked to the door and saw the wedding photo placed at the gate of Century Hotel, her smile suddenly stiffened and then disappeared...

At this moment, she could no longer say a word or take a step forward...

On the wedding photo, there was a happy couple.

The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful.

Their smiles were sweet, as if they could melt ice and snow...

The background was beautiful, as if it could warm the world...

'Oh, it's him.

I loved him for seven years.

Today, on this day, he's getting married. On my birthday, he's getting married.

I has thought of many ways to meet him again, maybe on the way, maybe in a cafe, maybe in a restaurant, maybe in a bookstore, or in a shopping mall...

But I has never thought I would meet him at his wedding.'

Selina Bai's eyes gradually blurred. For a moment, she suddenly remembered the life of them for seven years...

She had thought of many ways to meet him again, but she had never thought of watching him get married.

Selina's eyes gradually blurred. For a moment, it was really a moment. Those seven years they spent with each other, those special seven years, flashed back in her mind...

Ten years ago, at the age of eighteen, Selina got into her ideal university and majored in English that she had always been interested in. When she was in high school, she had imagined many times that her university must be very big and beautiful. She must work as hard as before, and she must be able to enter a good class. She must meet a good boy, and then she would have a wonderful love, just like the love in the novels she had read before...

Therefore, Selina worked hard as she thought, chose her favorite major and met him.

It was raining heavily that day. When Selina came to the library with books in her hands, her trousers were almost soaked. She put down the umbrella in a hurry and began to find a seat.

There would be no seats in the library if they didn't arrive earlier. Besides, it was raining, so there were more people than usual.

Selina finally saw a seat next to a boy, so she walked over with books in her hands, only to find that the boy put his schoolbag on the chair next to him.

"I'm sorry," Selina said with her fingers clasped, "can you put your schoolbag on the table? I can't find a seat. "

Shane Tang raised his head and adjusted his glasses. He saw a girl in jeans and white T-shirt standing in front of him with books in her hand. The hair on her forehead was a little long and covered her eyes a little, so it was difficult to see her face clearly.

"Okay, wait a minute." After saying that, Shane Tang picked up his schoolbag from the seat next to him. When he picked up his schoolbag, he accidentally knocked off the umbrella hanging at the corner of the chair.

Suddenly, the wet umbrella fell on Selina's shoes.

"I'm sorry," the boy quickly stood up and lowered his head to show his apology.

"Don't worry. It's better to put the umbrella at the door, or the floor of the library will be dirty." Selina bent over and picked up the umbrella and handed it to Shane Tang. When he took the umbrella, she saw that his fingers were very long and his nails were neatly trimmed. Then Selina's eyes met with Shane Tang's.

In Shane Tang's eyes, the girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked fresh and comfortable.

In Selina's eyes, this boy had a high-bridged nose and a pair of big eyes though with single-edged eyelids.

When they looked at each other, the two of them were a little stunned, and then they seemed to sense the embarrassment at the same time.

"Thank you." Shane Tang broke the short embarrassment. He took the schoolbag with one hand and the umbrella with the other. "Sit down. Did I make your shoes dirty?"

"Well, it doesn't matter. The surface of the shoes is a little wet, but the inside is fine. It will be dry soon." Selina replied after looking down at her canvas shoes.

"That's good." After saying that, Shane Tang hung his schoolbag on the back of his chair and put the umbrella beside it.

Selina and Shane Tang began to be absorbed in study. The embarrassment just now gradually disappeared. In the next few hours, neither Selina nor Shane Tang raised their heads or spoke. Around them, there was only the sound of page turning.

At lunch time, Shane Tang packed up his things and left. When he left the chair, Selina looked up at him. This boy was very friendly, polite and clean, and he made her feel comfortable.

After one o'clock, Selina felt a little tired, so she packed up her things and was ready to leave. When she pushed the chair under the table, Selina saw a book and a notebook in the drawer under the table, so she picked them up and read.

"Shane." Selina gently read out the name on the book, and then looked at the notebook. On the lower right corner of the cover, the owner of the notebook wrote with beautiful handwriting - class 1 of Grade 03 of Civil Engineering, Shane Tang.

This should be the boy's, right? Selina smiled faintly. She could take it to his school in the afternoon. Selina put away the book and notebook and left the library.

When she walked out of the library, the rain had stopped. She walked on the road, and water splashed from time to time.

It was such a nice day.

The summer heat was gone after the rain. Everything was so fresh and comfortable...

Selina didn't have classes in the afternoon. After lunch break, she slowly got out of bed. Maybe she thought it was muggy in the afternoon after the rain, and she still felt stuffy after washing her face.

"Why are you still sitting here? Didn't you say that you would return the book at noon?" Seeing Selina sitting on the chair in a daze, Penney Pei reminded her when she remembered that Selina said she had found a book in the library at noon.

"What? Oh, I don't think I'm awake yet. I'm so tired. " Selina patted her face to sober herself up.

"You are making trouble for yourself. Just put it in the Management Office of the library!" Penney Pei couldn't figure it out why Selina, who was always afraid of troubles, would took back the book and the notebook stupidly and planned to return them by herself.

"Yes. That's it. " Selina was enlightened by what Penney Pei said. Yes, she was afraid of troubles at ordinary times, or to put it frankly, she was lazy, but why did she bring the book back in the morning.

"Hey, it must be a boy's! Do you know him? " With a gossipy look on her face, Penney Pei walked over and leaned against the table.

"I'm not sure if he is the boy this morning. Wow, why are you so gossipy?" Selina was a little embarrassed by the look on Penney Pei's face, and the corners of her mouth rose because of embarrassment. Then she slapped her on her leg.

"Look! You are laughing! Tell me, how does he look? " Regardless of Selina's embarrassment, Penney Pei continued to ask to satisfy her curiosity.

"Nothing special, just like an ordinary college student. You already have a boyfriend. Why are you still gossiping? " Selina rolled her eyes at Penney Pei and began to change her shoes to go out.

"I'm caring about you. Did you fall in love with him at first sight?" Penney Pei looked at Selina in surprise.

"Do you think I look like that? I don't believe in love at first sight. Don't read too much romantic novels! Will you go with me? " Selina picked up the book and hit Penney Pei again. Then she stood up.

"I'm not going. It's troublesome. You can solve it by yourself." Penney Pei just wanted to stay in the dorm and go nowhere. In order not to be dragged out by Selina, she directly lay on the bed.

"Lazy!" Selina took the book and notebook and went out alone.

The School of Civil Engineering was quite far away from the Foreign Language School. It took Selina a while to arrive. On the way, Selina kept asking herself why she brought the book back like an idiot instead of putting them in the library. But she couldn't figure out the reason the whole way. When she arrived, Selina went to their Student Affairs Office directly. There were not only teachers in the Student Affairs Office, but also students in the student union.

Rat-a-tat

Selina gently knocked on the door and found that there was only a boy sitting inside.

"Come in, please!" The boy sitting inside kept looking down at the materials and said without raising his head when he heard the knock on the door.

"Hello, I'm here to return the book. Today I found the books of your classmates in the library." Selina walked in quietly and handed the book to the boy.

"Oh, let me see..." The boy raised his head and took the book and notebook from Selina's hand. "Shane, this guy always loses something. I don't know how many times he has lost his book. Where did you find it? "

"In the library."

"The library? It seems that he is quite hardworking... " The boy flipped through the notebook with a faint smile.

"Hi, bro! Sorry, I'm late. I didn't notice the time when I played basketball just now. " At this time, a boy rushed into the office.

"Shane! Look at you. You lost your book again. " The senior threw the book into Shane Tang's hands.

"Ah! I finally find it! I've been looking for it for the whole noon. I was still thinking what I would do if I can't find it back... " With a grateful smile on his face, Shane Tang touched the book in his hand exaggeratedly.

"Your acting is bad! If you were so nervous that you couldn't find your book, why did you play basketball so crazily just now? And you were late. Thank this girl. She found your book. " The senior saw through him at a glance. Then he pointed at Selina and asked Shane Tang to thank her.

"Hey, it's you. I was very embarrassed this morning. And now you even bring me the book. " Shane Tang scratched the back of his head.

"It doesn't matter. Now that the thing has returned to its owner, I'll go first. Goodbye." After saying that, Selina turned around and left the office. When she went downstairs, Selina seemed to be a little grateful that it was his book. Then, she was frightened by her thought, and then she found that she was smiling...

When she went to the first floor, Shane Tang caught her up.

"Wait!"

"What? What's up? " Selina turned around.

"Is this yours? It's between the book and the notebook." Shane Tang handed Selina a piece of paper, which recorded the notes of a meeting in the literary club. At that time, Selina was temporarily informed to attend the meeting without a pen or paper. She borrowed a pen from a classmate, tore a piece of paper and casually wrote the notes down.

"Well, thank you." Selina took the paper from Shane Tang's hand. His fingers were really beautiful. Then Selina looked up at Shane's eyes. When they looked at each other, both of them took a deep breath.

"Well, I'm really sorry for what happened this morning. And, thank you very much this afternoon." Embarrassed, Shane Tang lowered his head and scratched the back of his head. Then he raised his head, as if it was his habit, just like Selina liked to pinch her fingers when she was nervous.

"Well, it's okay." Selina quickly looked away and answered.

"Well, my name is Shane. Today I really..." Shane Tang nodded as a hint.

"Well, it's okay. That's all right." Maybe Selina Tang was nervous, she interrupted him.

"Uh... I majored in Civil Engineering. What's your major? "

"I know. I saw it on your notebook. I'm studying English."

"English! You're awesome. My English is terrible. "

"How could it be? Isn't your name Shane? "

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Your name is Shane. How can you not speak English? The songs of Westlife are great and popular all over the world! And its lead singer is Shane Filan." Selina said with a smile.

Westlife, the most popular group in the world was at the peak of its career. It had a large number of fans all over the world, including Selina. She liked Westlife's songs not only because of the good music, but also because of their good voices. Especially for the part of the harmony, they could always sing a love song to the depth of people's hearts.

"It was an accident. If I had known that they would be so popular now, I shouldn't have asked my parents to give me this name," Shane Tang smiled awkwardly. "Anyway, thank you today."

"Don't thank me all the time. I don't think I have done anything great. Go upstairs quickly."

"Okay Bye. " Shane Tang touched the back of his head and nodded slightly. Then he turned around and ran upstairs.

After Shane Tang disappeared at the corner of the stairs, it began to drizzle again.

"It's raining again. It seems that autumn comes." Selina looked up at the sky, turned around and slowly disappeared at the end of the road.

The path of the campus after the rain was wet, covered with leaves quietly. The air was fresh, and it was the same smell as the first love.
