"Uh—"
Lu Zhihang's face stiffened, looking a bit embarrassed. He dragged out a single syllable for a long time. After a while, he said, "Ah, I saw him before, the time when he tried to kill Chengfeng."
Lin Wan let out a skeptical hum. But relying on her trust in this person's overall game strategy and understanding, she finally nodded and agreed to reset her character's attributes.
"Don't worry. If it turns out bad, I'll reset it back for you," Lu Zhihang comforted.
Lin Wan pouted but didn't say anything.
Just then, a sudden scream came from the next bed. Through the earphones, Lu Zhihang could clearly sense the incredulity and disbelief in that scream.
Then he heard Lin Wan say helplessly, "Ye Zi, what's wrong with you again? Can you stop testing my heart's endurance?"
The corner of Lu Zhihang's mouth curled up. He thought Lin Wan was a bit cute and playful in real life. She was getting more and more adorable!
Just then, there was a thud in the earphones. Lu Zhihang was stunned for a moment. Then came the sound of a chair being dragged. And then he heard a strange female voice scream, "Oh my god, Lin Wan, the netizen you went to meet the night before last was President Lu?!"
"What the hell?"
Lu Zhihang's heart skipped a beat. Before he could get nervous, he heard Lin Wan's instinctive response, and his heart immediately calmed down. But he even felt a bit disappointed.
"Look, the new statement from President Lu's company! Isn't this woman you?!"
Hearing this, Lu Zhihang was a bit confused. Didn't he tell Wang Wei to blur or cover Lin Wan's face? How could she be recognized?
On the other end, Lin Wan let out a soft sound. After a while, she said hesitantly, "It seems... so?"
"It must be you!" The strange girl said excitedly, "You were wearing this dress that day. When you went out, I even asked who you were going to meet that you had to dig out your long - hidden dress. So it was to meet President Lu~"
The corner of Lu Zhihang's mouth couldn't help but lift into a smile as he recalled how Lin Wan looked that day.
"It wasn't him," Lin Wan said coldly.
Both Lu Zhihang on the game side and Ye Zi were stunned for a moment. No one said a word. Lin Wan shrugged indifferently and said, "I didn't go to meet him that day. I just ran into trouble on the way and he happened to help me. That's all. So please stop imagining things, okay? Be good."
At that moment, the one who reacted the most was neither Lin Wan nor Ye Zi, but Lu Zhihang on the other side of the computer who heard every word clearly.
The proper smile that he had maintained for years instantly collapsed. His excellent facial expression management skills that he had had since childhood seemed to disappear all at once—
He felt as if he could hear the sound of his heart cracking.
After a long time, Ye Zi finally came to her senses. She stood up and paced back and forth a few steps, obviously digesting Lin Wan's words. After a while, she asked again, "Then you've had close contact with President Lu. How do you feel? Did you have a moment of heart - pounding excitement?!"
Lin Wan thought: Why are you asking me how I feel about a person whose face I haven't even seen?
Crack—
Lu Zhihang heard the sound of his heart mending itself. Hope gradually emerged in his eyes.
"No feelings," Lin Wan said indifferently.
Bang—!
If Lu Zhihang's heart was just cracked before, at this moment, it was completely shattered, impossible to put back together!
"Ah, I see—well then," Ye Zi showed a disappointed look on her face. She hesitated for a moment and then sat back on her bed.
It was only then that Lin Wan finally realized that she hadn't turned off the voice chat just now. That meant the person on the other end had heard all her words.
Her face suddenly heated up. Lin Wan quickly took off her earphones and rushed into the bathroom.
She splashed two handfuls of cold water on her face and covered her face with her hands, only showing her bright eyes.
Her eyes were watery. Because of the cold water on her face, her pupils seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. Lin Wan was confused about her inexplicable emotions.
After she finally calmed down and returned to the computer, Lin Wan put on her earphones again. Sensing the quiet atmosphere in the earphones, Lin Wan hesitated and asked carefully, "Um, are you still there?"
There was no response.
A rare sense of disappointment rose in Lin Wan's heart. She thought that she had been away for too long and ignored Lu Zhihang on the other end of the computer, so he had turned off the voice chat. But before her disappointment lasted for a few seconds, a hasty voice suddenly sounded.
"Ah, I'm here. Sorry, I was just a bit distracted," Lu Zhihang, who had finally managed to piece his heart back together, quickly responded, afraid that Lin Wan would ignore him because of this.
Lin Wan let out a sigh of relief. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Then she remembered that Lu Zhihang had heard all her words with Ye Zi just now, and she immediately felt embarrassed.
Lu Zhihang hesitated for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "So, do you really not like Lu Zhihang?"
"Ah?" Lin Wan was a bit dazed and didn't understand why Lu Zhihang was asking this.
