Lin Wan thought for a moment, then flashed a mysterious smile and shook her head. "I won't tell you now. We'll talk when we get there."
Helpless, Lu Zhihang had no choice but to give in. He leaned on Lin Wan's shoulder and fell silent, though he was still a bit sulky. Lin Wan could sense his mood, and a gentle smile played on her lips, her eyes brimming with tenderness and joy she'd never shown before.
Soon, the flight attendant brought over the card. Lin Wan took it with a smile, then told Lu Zhihang to close his eyes. She took out a pen and scribbled a poem on the card, then tucked it into her bag before allowing Lu Zhihang to open his eyes.
When Lu Zhihang opened his eyes, he saw nothing. Disappointment clouded his face, but he didn't ask a single question.
The plane soon landed at the Capital Airport. Lin Wan, still smiling, led Lu Zhihang out of the terminal. Only when they were in the sparse crowd did she take out the card.
She placed the card face - down in Lu Zhihang's palm and whispered, "I once read that when a plane is flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, no matter how loud our voices are, they will dissipate in that 10,000 - meter expanse. So I wrote what I wanted to say to you on paper, hoping this piece of paper won't vanish in the high altitude of time."
Her words left Lu Zhihang stunned for a while. He didn't know what to say. A sudden, intense emotion welled up inside him. He wanted to pull his beloved into his arms and hold her close forever.
He slowly turned over the card. The handwriting was delicate and cute, just as beautiful and gentle as its owner.
"Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love thee."
For a moment, there was complete silence, which seemed to last an eternity. Lu Zhihang felt speechless. His gaze was fixed on the last three words on the card. His vision blurred from staring so long, but the surging emotion in his heart showed no sign of abating.
Lin Wan felt the situation had turned awkward. She thought her gesture was incredibly romantic, but the man who was supposed to be excited just stood there motionless, his expression unfathomable. This made her feel dejected.
"Hey, can you give me some reaction?" Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and poked the man's arm, looking helpless.
The next moment, she was suddenly pulled into a tight embrace. The hug came so abruptly and was so forceful that at first, Lin Wan thought this man was trying to kill her. It wasn't until she felt the warmth on her neck that she realized what was happening.
"You're really..." After a long while, Lu Zhihang finally spoke. His voice was hoarse, and his tone was full of helplessness. "How could you play so dirty!"
Lin Wan was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. She reached out and stroked Lu Zhihang's somewhat spiky hair, whispering, "Because these are my true feelings."
After that, Lu Zhihang didn't say anything else. He simply dragged Lin Wan back to the hotel. Almost the moment they entered the room, their lips met in a passionate kiss. Lin Wan felt that today was a bit crazy. She was kissed so deeply that she felt dizzy. The next second, the world seemed to spin. When she came to her senses, Lu Zhihang had already carried her onto the bed. Kisses rained down on her face, ears, and neck.
His breathing was heavier than usual. When Lu Zhihang's hand slipped into her clothes, Lin Wan finally regained a bit of clarity. She called out Lu Zhihang's name and struggled.
Lu Zhihang seemed to be brought back to his senses by her voice. His movements slowed down, but the kisses didn't stop. He was a bit conflicted.
He felt he could hardly hold back, but he still forced himself to stop. He propped himself up and looked deeply into Lin Wan's eyes.
Lin Wan felt a bit nervous under his intense gaze. She coughed lightly and turned her head away, saying shyly, "Not now. Wait... wait until later, until we get married."
Hearing this, Lu Zhihang's previously gloomy expression immediately softened. He understood Lin Wan's determination and was willing to wait. So he didn't continue. Instead, he went to the bathroom to take a cold shower.
...
The next day, the two of them went to the headquarters of the Shenwuji Game Company. After notifying the receptionist, they were led to the corner sofa to sit down.
Since leaving the entertainment industry, Lu Zhihang didn't like wearing sunglasses when going out.
However, his highly recognizable face was still very eye - catching. So Lu Zhihang had only been sitting in the lobby for a short while when he was recognized by his fans coming and going.
Suddenly, more people stopped in the lobby. But Lu Zhihang didn't seem to notice at all. He kept chatting with Lin Wan, a gentle smile always on his lips.
Before long, the news that Lu Zhihang had appeared in the lobby of the Shenwuji Game Company headquarters spread on the Internet.
It all started when a company employee passing by recognized Lu Zhihang and secretly took a photo of him and Lin Wan. The photo was taken from a distance, so their faces were a bit blurry. But after all, Lu Zhihang had been a top - tier artist for so many years. As long as his face wasn't completely pixelated, his fans could recognize him.
Once they recognized him, everyone went crazy.
"Oh my god, it's really my Mr. Lu. Sob, it's the nth day since Mr. Lu disappeared. I miss him so much!"
"I miss Mr. Lu too. But seeing how happy he is with Miss Lin, I hope they'll be together forever!!"
"Yeah, yeah. The things Mr. Lu said in front of the reporters after he terminated his contract made me so swoon. If these two can't be together forever, I'll never believe in love again."
"Yeah, yeah. These two are the only reason I still cling to the idea of love!"
"Now they actually seem so well - matched. I don't know why I used to think Lin Wan was ugly. Looking at her old photos now, I think she's quite pretty."
"Miss Lin is naturally beautiful. She's the belle of the literary circle. No explanation needed!"
"Haha, the belle. Then what is our Mr. Lu? A flower - stealing bandit?"
"To be honest, if there was such a handsome flower - stealing bandit, I'd definitely fall for him!"
"Me too +1"
"+2"
"+10087"
...
While there was a huge stir on Weibo, the two people at the center of the storm in the lobby knew nothing and were still chatting happily. It wasn't until the person in charge of the internal test rushed down.
"Oh, Mr. Lu. I didn't know it was you. I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!" The person in charge, with sweat on his forehead, quickly bent down to apologize when he saw Lu Zhihang.
Lu Zhihang was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand. "It's okay. We're not in a hurry anyway. You just do what you need to do."
The person in charge nodded repeatedly, but he was helpless inside. If they really just did what they normally did in front of Lu Zhihang, their company lobby might turn into a fan meeting today!
