Lin Wan noticed Ye Zi's somewhat unnatural expression and felt strange. "What's wrong with you?"
"… You scared me!" Ye Zi patted her chest, looking like she was still in shock. Lin Wan smiled and looked at her.
"I really didn't expect this! I couldn't tell, Miss Lin!" Ye Zi quickly burst into laughter. With a mysterious look on her face, she nudged Lin Wan's arm and looked at her with a smile.
Lin Wan's eyelid twitched. Looking at Ye Zi helplessly, she said, "You're really something. You still tease me about this kind of thing!"
"Exactly this kind of thing that should be joked about. Otherwise, what else can I tease you about? Your happy life with President Lu is so sweet!" Ye Zi said with a smile.
"Alright, alright. I'm almost annoyed by him. You should stop it." Lin Wan blushed a little. She glared at Ye Zi and walked away with a smile.
Ye Zi followed behind her and almost burst out laughing.
After Lin Wan paid the bill, she glared at Ye Zi. "Ye Zi, are you going to keep this up?"
"Stop, stop! Don't be angry. I won't laugh... Haha... Cough, I really won't laugh anymore!" Ye Zi raised her hand and swore.
Lin Wan sighed and said helplessly, "Are you going back to school later?"
"Huh? Yes. Where else should I go? I'm so pitiful now. My good friend and good bestie has run off with a man. I'm left alone, keeping the empty room every night. So lonely and empty!" Ye Zi looked heart - broken, as if she was lamenting a long - time separation from her lover.
Lin Wan shivered and silently distanced herself from her.
"What are you doing? Do you dislike me?" Ye Zi was unhappy and deliberately leaned over to nudge her.
The two of them got into a ruckus.
I don't know how much time had passed when suddenly the sound of car horns came from the intersection. Lin Wan and Ye Zi froze at the same time. They looked at the honking car and saw Lu Zhihang wearing sunglasses, smiling at them through the open window of the passenger seat.
"Damn it, it's President Lu!" Ye Zi almost jumped out of her skin. She actually jumped up and almost tripped on the nearby step.
Lin Wan quickly reached out to hold her back and glared at her angrily. "What are you doing? Are you performing a vertical take - off?"
"Damn, damn, damn...! President Lu is coming? Why didn't you tell me? Oh my god, my image is completely ruined!" Ye Zi whispered and shrieked at Lin Wan.
Lin Wan couldn't help laughing and said helplessly, "I was about to tell you just now, but you insisted on making a fuss with me, so I didn't get a chance to speak."
"Damn it, my reputation for a lifetime!" Ye Zi sighed.
Lin Wan held back her laughter and nodded to comfort her.
Soon Ye Zi pushed Lin Wan towards the car and said, "President Lu has come to pick you up in person. Hurry up and go!"
Lin Wan couldn't help smiling. "Do you want us to give you a ride?"
Ye Zi opened her mouth to refuse but suddenly froze. "Classmate Lin Wan, could you please repeat what you just said? It doesn't matter if you don't. I can pretend I didn't hear it."
"I said, do you want to catch a ride? Anyway, we're going in the direction of the school tonight." Lin Wan was both amused and exasperated.
"Is it convenient?"
"What's inconvenient about it?"
"Will President Lu agree?"
"He... Dare not disagree!"
"… Awesome!"
"So, do you want this ride or not?" Lin Wan said helplessly.
"Sure! This is riding in my idol's car! Oh my god, I never even dared to think about it before! Life is so crazy!" Ye Zi agreed without hesitation, her tone full of surprise.
…
It wasn't until they reached the car door that Ye Zi suddenly realized that at this moment, facing her idol, she should be nervous, shy, and cautious. So when she heard Lu Zhihang's voice, she almost collapsed on the ground.
"Hello, President Lu. I'm Ye Zi, Lin Wan's bestie!"
Lu Zhihang was a bit stunned for a moment and then politely smiled in response.
Watching Lin Wan and Ye Zi get into the back seat, Lu Zhihang finally realized that this Miss Ye Zi was going to catch a ride. Looking at Lin Wan's expression, it seemed that it was his wife who had invited her.
"First stop is the school, right?" Lu Zhihang said with a smile, his expression unchanged.
Lin Wan was a bit dazed. She then realized that she should invite Ye Zi to dinner at this time, after all, this was the first time the two of them had met privately.
Ye Zi apparently saw what Lin Wan was thinking. She immediately waved her hand and said, "Yes, yes, go to the school. I won't disturb your subsequent alone time."
Lu Zhihang hooked the corner of his mouth. He thought this bestie was really very sensible.
Finally, Ye Zi was dropped off at the school gate, and Lin Wan was asked to sit back in the passenger seat.
When Lin Wan fastened her seat - belt, she said helplessly, "What's the difference between the back seat and the passenger seat? It's just a short way. There are so many things."
Lu Zhihang smiled. "Because I'm feeling anxious."
Lin Wan was stunned. "Anxious? What are you anxious about? Did something happen?"
"I'm sick." Lu Zhihang hooked the corner of his mouth, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
Hearing this, Lin Wan immediately became nervous. She wanted Lu Zhihang to stop the car on the spot so that they could go to the hospital. But before she could ask what the illness was, she heard Lu Zhihang say shamelessly, "I'm seriously ill. No medicine can cure me. I'll feel anxious if I can't see you for a single minute. Only by looking at you can I get better!"
Lin Wan: "…"
You really could put on a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream all by yourself if you were given a stage!
After Lu Zhihang finished speaking, he took a quick look at Lin Wan's expression. Seeing his wife's expression gradually change from blank to complicated and then to shy, he felt extremely peaceful and happy.
After a long time, he heard Lin Wan grind her teeth and say, "I really shouldn't have let you talk!"
Lu Zhihang burst into laughter. He was much happier than before. He even felt like stopping the car immediately and hugging his cute wife and giving her a big kiss!
Actually, the two of them didn't have any special activities that night. It was just that Lu Zhihang suddenly found a very delicious restaurant near Lin Wan's school and planned to take her there.
The two didn't eat for long. After the meal, they didn't drive back. Instead, they walked down the small street.
There weren't many people on the small street. Maybe it was because there weren't many shops on this street. Most of the buildings were residential houses surrounded by high walls. So the whole small street seemed very quiet. As the two walked, they felt a faint sense of peace and happiness.
Lu Zhihang held Lin Wan's hand, palm to palm. They could both feel the warmth from each other's palms.
This made Lin Wan feel a sense of comfort and peace that she hadn't felt for many years.
If she could spend the rest of her life with the person beside her in peace and tranquility like today, it seemed to be a very, very good choice.
Lin Wan lowered her head and watched the shadows of the two of them under the street - lamp gradually lengthen, disappear, and then lengthen again. She thought silently in her heart.
