Her back was facing the men's room, and her palms were soon drenched in sweat. What a terrible sense of familiarity was this?
Shu Tian thought she had forgotten, but now she realized that she could still remember all the details at a glance of that man. Even if she just vaguely saw his back, it was as if they had never parted in five years, and he was standing behind her one step away. Even if she insisted on leaving, yet as long as she looked back at him, she wouldn't have the heart to walk away from him again.
Right now, she hid behind the door. She heard the tap of the sink turn on and the sound of someone drawing paper to wipe hands. Then a dark shadow appeared outside the door and got closer...
She saw his black leather shoes. Looking up, she saw that he had typical black hair from the east, black eyes, and his face could not be made out clearly under the dim light, which made her relieved.
It wasn't Li Han!
The feeling of suffocation finally eased. She then breathed a sigh of relief. And her mood swings exhausted her. She thought it was him. Fortunately, it wasn't.
She raised her hand to her chest, trying to calm down. Yet the next second, she laughed at herself. The world was so big. There were thousands of kilometers between England and J City, across the ocean. How could he be here? How could he happen to be in the same bar and toilet?
This was impossible. She was being paranoid.
Yet she could not tell what she felt in her heart. Obviously, she was glad that it was not him, but there was an inexplicable sadness mixed with it.
She must have been sentimental due to the drink. It must be!

At the small round table on the far south side of the bar next to the wall, Li Han sat down with his back to the toilet. He picked up the glass on the table and drank it up in one gulp, regardless of how much the liquor burned his throat.
It was his yearning for her that made him sick. Or else, how came he caught her smell in such a foreign country? He was being absurd.
They said that he was crazy. See, it turned out that they were correct and he was not far becoming a crazy.
He then showed a bitter smile, and could not calm down for a long time. It seemed that he could no longer enjoy the beautiful and relaxing music here. He then waved at a waiter not far away. When the waiter drew closer, he took out a gold card and swiped it at the POS.
"Sir, please sign here." The waiter pointed to the place where the signature was needed.
He then picked up the pen and wrote down his last name.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. Shu Tian and her assistant Lily drove to the entrance of the banquet together. They waited in the car for a while, and Ken and another woman also came.
"This is my former colleague Suran and her assistance Lily," he briefly introduced them to his female companion.
Shu Tian shook hands with them politely, and then they all walked towards the security personnel at the door. The party was of high standards, and two staff members were checking the invitations at the door, one on the left and one right.
Ken and his female companion both had invitation. With their eloquence and acting skills, they successfully brought Shu Tian and her assistant in.
The venue was very large, divided into two parts, indoor and outdoor. The outdoor scene was not fancy, mainly in white, green and gold, which looked very elegant.
