That day, the two didn't go out for a barbecue.
As soon as Lu Zhihang put Lin Wan on the ground, he was kicked unexpectedly. He was immediately driven out of the room by the furious Lin Wan.
However, perhaps because the long - held obsession of many days was finally satisfied, Lu Zhihang didn't bother Lin Wan anymore. He strolled away alone and nobody knew where he went.
Lin Wan was lying in bed, swiping her phone countless times. Suddenly, a somewhat familiar message popped up in the notification bar.
The person who sent the message was named Juzi. To be honest, this person didn't appear often in Lin Wan's daily life. She usually wouldn't show up unless it was something important. Usually, she was as cold as a flower growing on the highest glacier in the Arctic. But once she reached out to you, she would instantly turn into the scalding magma deep underground, being overly enthusiastic.
"Lin, Lin, Lin! When can I read your new story? Have you started writing it yet?" At this moment, Juzi was showing her clingy side to the fullest, repeating the same sentence three times.
"…Not yet. I don't know what to write. I'll take a few more days off." Lin Wan replied listlessly. She touched her face and felt it was still a bit hot. She was a bit thirsty at the moment, but there was no water in the room, and she didn't dare to go out to get some. Mainly, she didn't want to run into Lu Zhihang.
"Hey, why haven't you written yet? How could you not write? Lin, look how long you've been gone! If you don't write soon, I'm afraid your fans will forget about you," Juzi said helplessly.
"I have no inspiration. I can't write," Lin Wan's reply was still quite concise.
"As your editor, I must seriously tell you that even if you don't write a story, can you at least post some short paragraphs on Weibo as a little treat for your fans? Look at the comments under your Weibo. Your readers are almost crying for an update," Juzi's tone was even more helpless.
Lin Wan was annoyed by what she said and casually agreed.
After the conversation ended, she slowly logged into her work Weibo account which she hadn't checked for a long time. Sure enough, there were quite a few private messages and replies on it.
She hadn't updated since the last book was completed.
Lin Wan was very passionate about her favorite job and would never be perfunctory. So after she clicked on the icon to write a Weibo post, she got lost in thought.
She really didn't know what to write. A sweet extra chapter? Or some sudden inspirations?
She had all these ideas but didn't want to write about them. She had just been feeling bored lately and didn't want to do anything. She was extremely listless.
After lying there in a daze for a while, she really felt thirsty, so she threw her phone aside, jumped out of bed, and carefully pressed her ear against the door to listen for a while.
It was extremely quiet outside, a bit too quiet.
Lin Wan hesitated for a moment, then unlocked the door. She held the doorknob for a while before opening it. She peeked out with one eye to check the "enemy situation" outside. After confirming that there was really no one there, she slowly pulled the door open. The door of the opposite bedroom was closed. Lin Wan guessed that Lu Zhihang might be in the room.
She quickly dashed out of the room and ran towards the stairs. In order not to make any noise, she didn't even put on her shoes.
When she got downstairs, she first looked at the living room. There was no one there, but the TV was on, playing a variety show that Lu Zhihang had recorded before. The atmosphere was very lively.
Lin Wan let out a slight sigh of relief. But looking at Lu Zhihang on the TV, smiling brightly and gently, for some unknown reason, her face started to burn again.
However, when she came to her senses and turned around to go to the kitchen to get some water, she saw Lu Zhihang standing beside the kitchen doorframe, looking at her with a half - smile, holding two glasses of something that might be juice.
Lin Wan: "…"
"Is it nice?" Lu Zhihang hooked his lips, with a hint of playfulness and teasing in his eyes.
"…" Lin Wan didn't know what to say for a moment. The temperature on her face rose again. If this continued, Lin Wan would start to think that she wasn't just shy but had heatstroke.
"Do you want some?" Lu Zhihang first put his own glass on the dining table, then walked up to Lin Wan and offered her the glass.
The bright red watermelon juice in the glass was wafting a sweet fragrance. Lin Wan couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She looked up at Lu Zhihang's expression. Subconsciously, she felt that she shouldn't take this glass of water. She would surely be tricked again. But the dryness in her throat made her little finger twitch.
"Don't want it? Just freshly squeezed. I just tasted it. It's quite sweet," Lu Zhihang said, looking at her with a hooked - lip smile.
Lin Wan couldn't hold back anymore. She reached out her hand to take the glass of water. But before her fingertips touched the glass, her hand was suddenly grabbed. Lu Zhihang took the glass away, gently pulled Lin Wan into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips.
Lin Wan never expected that she would be tricked by a man three times. Her eyes widened in shock.
The faint and unique sweetness of watermelon gradually lingered on the tip of her tongue. Although there was no alcohol at all, Lin Wan felt a bit intoxicated.
After kissing for a while, Lu Zhihang slowly let her go. He pecked her on the face with a smile and whispered, "I meant this. Isn't it sweet?"
Sweet my foot!
Lin Wan just wanted to throw the glass of juice in Lu Zhihang's face at this moment. This man was so shameless.
In the end, Lin Wan held back her impulse. She reached out and snatched the juice, glared at Lu Zhihang fiercely, then turned around and rushed back to her room without looking back.
Lu Zhihang's soft laughter seemed to still be echoing in her ears, and that warm and soft touch seemed to still be lingering on the tip of her tongue. Lin Wan blushed while holding the glass of juice. While feeling ashamed and annoyed, a faint sweetness gradually spread deep in her heart, as if she had drunk wine mixed with sugar.
She picked up her phone, unlocked it, and the screen still showed the page for editing a Weibo post. Lin Wan paused for a moment looking at this page, and finally, the corner of her mouth gently curved into a tender arc.
[Lin: On XX/XX/XXXX, about a month has passed since we got together... My life has unconsciously changed. I've gradually gotten used to the presence of another person. Every morning, I get up and eat the breakfast he made. I take walks with him and buy ingredients with him. It seems that every day is filled with hope and vitality...]
After posting the Weibo post, Lin Wan felt that the sweet feeling in her heart was getting stronger and stronger. It seemed to fill her chest, making her want to write down all the sweet little interactions between her and Lu Zhihang in their lives.
[Lin: Today, Mr. L cut a plate of fruits for me. He even snatched the last piece when I was about to put it in my mouth. I got angry and locked him out of the room...]
[Lin: Mr. L just squeezed some watermelon juice. He told me it was sweet and asked me to taste it. But then he actually!... It's really sweet~]
She couldn't help but smile and posted three Weibo posts in a row. After that, she finished the last sip of watermelon juice.
The sweet juice slid down her throat. Lin Wan squinted her eyes and savored it.
It's not as sweet as that kiss just now...
