"Wow, you're really together! You're amazing!" Ye Zi's voice suddenly went up an octave, her eyes sparkling.
Lin Wan was speechless. "Why are you the most excited one about me getting out of the singlehood?"
"I'm happy!" Ye Zi waved her hand grandly. "I'm now a friend of Lu Zhihang's girlfriend! I've got to celebrate this. Many people would die for this chance!"
Lin Wan laughed and shook her head.
"Hey, tell me how you two met," Ye Zi leaned over and asked mysteriously.
"We met that time," Lin Wan raised her eyebrows and shrugged.
"Which time? You rarely go out. How would I know..." Ye Zi was a bit confused at first. Then she suddenly seemed to get it and stared at Lin Wan with wide eyes. "Don't tell me it was that incident last time?"
Lin Wan nodded.
Ye Zi stared at her with her mouth open. "So that's how it is... I bet it wasn't an ordinary encounter last time!"
"Come on, I didn't even know him then," Lin Wan rolled her eyes.
"Anyway, you'd better stay at home more these days," Ye Zi said, her expression suddenly turning serious.
Lin Wan was taken aback for a moment and then understood. She sighed. "Staying at home doesn't mean I can skip classes. I'll surely run into them in class."
"Then you..." Ye Zi looked worried.
"It's okay. What's meant to come will come."

Bang!
The phone was suddenly slammed to the ground and shattered. The screen went completely black.
"Who told you to do this?"
"Who the hell told you to do this?!"
"Lu Zhihang, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're famous? Is there no one who can control you in this world?!"
"Ah! Tell me, is that so?!"
The shouts in the office were deafening. All the staff on the floor were as silent as mice. No one dared to say a word at this moment. No one wanted to get on the bad side of the person in the office.
"Didn't Brother Wang ask the public - relations department to handle it?" Lu Zhihang said carelessly with a pout.
"You still have the nerve to say that!" Han Yan almost threw the cup in his hand. He was so angry that his face turned pale.
"Was this your idea? Telling Wang Wei to keep silent and just watch you mess around. Ah, was it?!" Han Yan slammed the cup on the table. His voice was as loud as those of professional opera singers.
Lu Zhihang was also startled. He frowned and looked up at Han Yan.
Han Yan was so angry that his eyes were wide open. He stared directly at Lu Zhihang.
"Fine, whatever. I don't care anyway," Lu Zhihang muttered in a low voice, with obvious impatience on his face.
"Then get out of here!" Han Yan got even angrier when he heard this. He picked up the cup and threw it at Lu Zhihang, shouting loudly.
Lu Zhihang quickly raised his hand to protect his head in the chaos. The cup hit his wrist and left a bruise. His face darkened. He looked up at Han Yan. "Han Yan, do you think I'm afraid of you? I've never argued with you just because you're my boss. But now, fuck it. I quit!"
After saying that, he slammed the door and left. Han Yan's angry roars came from inside the office again.
"Go! If you go, don't ever come back. Don't even think about going back to the apartment. The company will take it back. You can go sleep on the street!"
"Whatever you say!" Lu Zhihang retorted without showing any weakness.
His words seemed to shake the whole floor.
...
"I declare that I've turned from a fan of Lu Zhihang to a hater. Reason: He didn't confess his love to me!"
"These days, stars will hype anything. What new kind of hype is this?"
"I went to the concert yesterday. I saw that Lin Wan. To be honest, I don't think she's as good - looking as our President Lu. She's not worthy of him at all!"
"I didn't expect Lu Zhihang to be so romantic. Confessing his love on - stage at the concert. I'm so jealous of the girl he confessed to!"
No, if you really knew how my day has been, you wouldn't be jealous!
Lin Wan finished the last bit of ice - water in her cup, smacked her lips, and was about to get up to pour some more when her phone suddenly rang.
Lin Wan was stunned. She picked up the phone and saw it was an unknown number.
"Hello?"
"Lin Wan..."
The sudden voice of Lu Zhihang on the other end of the phone startled Lin Wan. For a moment, she wasn't sure if it was really Lu Zhihang's voice, because it sounded so lost, like a little puppy that had lost its home.
"Are you okay?" Lin Wan hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Have you had dinner?" Lu Zhihang didn't answer her question but asked instead. His voice was low and dull.
"... Not yet."
"Then come out. I'll take you to eat," Lu Zhihang said softly.
Lin Wan was taken aback. The relationship between her and Lu Zhihang was too sensitive. For Lu Zhihang's future, she shouldn't meet him. But just as she was about to refuse, Lu Zhihang seemed to be able to read her mind.
"I want to see you, Lin Wan," he said a bit aggrievedly. His voice was so pitiful.
"... Wait for me," Lin Wan finally said. She hung up the phone and went out.
She specially put on a pair of sunglasses to avoid being recognized, but she felt as if many people were looking at her along the way. Maybe she was just being too sensitive.
At the school gate, Lin Wan saw Lu Zhihang, who was wrapped up tightly, under a tree. She couldn't see his expression, but she could tell that he was in a low mood.
"What's wrong with you?" She walked up to him, and her voice involuntarily showed some concern.
Lu Zhihang seemed to notice her only when he heard her voice. He looked up and then suddenly pulled her into his arms without saying a word.
Lin Wan accidentally fell into a strange embrace. She was a bit flustered and tried to push Lu Zhihang away twice but failed. Finally, she gave up and let him hold her.
"Let's go. It's time to eat," Lu Zhihang said after holding her for a while. He let go of Lin Wan and took her hand, walking outside.
"Wait, what on earth happened to you?" Lin Wan tugged at his hand.
"I'll tell you during dinner," Lu Zhihang's voice was muffled.
Finally, they went to a pickled - fish restaurant on the food street. After entering the private room, Lin Wan finally saw Lu Zhihang's face. What concerned her more than his face was the bruise on his right wrist.
"What happened to this?"
