With his hand on the shoe shelf, Lin Wan Bai tried his best to endure the pain that came from his nose.
"Mm …" Her voice was very soft.
Seemingly hearing the sound of her putting down the key, Huo Chang Yuan asked, "You just got home? What did you do? "
"I …" Lin Wan Bai opened her mouth, afraid that her true feelings would be leaked, she paused for a moment, and then opened her mouth again. However, she did not mention a single word of what happened tonight, "Come to the market, there are no more vegetables at home."
"The food here is too horrible. I want to eat the noodles that you cooked."
Lin Wan Bai's nose started to feel sore again, "Alright, I'll cook it for you when you come back."
As if he had noticed her strangeness, Huo Chang Yuan asked very keenly, "What happened to your voice?"
"I might catch a cold, but my nose is blocked …" Lin Wan Bai vaguely explained.
"Is it serious? How did you do it! " Huo Chang Yuan became serious, "Do you still have a cold capsule at home?"
"If you don't take your medicine in time, it will be serious tomorrow. The cold won't be easy this season! When you're done eating, remember to take some medicine and drink some hot water! If he couldn't, then he had to get himself some ginger! Do you hear me? "
Lin Wan Bai quietly listened to each and every word he uttered, and his heart slowly warmed up. Suddenly, he felt that the grievances he had suffered at Hopper's place wasn't really that great.
"Why aren't you talking?"
"I'm listening to you …"
On the other end of the line, two low laughs were quickly heard. With a mischievous tone, he said, "Hur Hur, are you thinking of me?"
In the past, Lin Wan Bai would bashfully refute "no" or "no", but today, while holding the phone, she directly replied, "Mmm …"
She really missed him.
He wanted to hug himself as tightly as usual.
He wanted to seek protection from his firm and warm embrace, but he knew that Lu Li had just flown abroad and had some matters to take care of. He couldn't cause trouble for him, so he could only silently digest all of this.
Hearing her reply, Huo Chang Yuan who was on the other end of the line suddenly fell silent.
A few seconds later, he opened his mouth again and said in a much deeper tone, "I will take the evening plane home and arrive at Ice City at around 8 o'clock tomorrow night. You can wait for me at home when the time comes."
"Mm …" Lin Wan Bai replied meekly.
After ending the call, she heaved a sigh of relief and kept telling herself.
It's all right, it's all right...
After a simple meal, he went to take a shower and went to bed. The screen on his phone lit up again as Huo Chang Yuan sent a message: "Good night, missyou."
Looking at the mixture of Chinese and English on the screen, it was as if his calm voice was beside his ears.
Very quickly, another person entered. "Remember to take your medicine!"
Lin Wan Bai's fingers caressed the screen, a warm feeling spread out from between the lines, and the outline of Huo Chang Yuan's resolute face appeared in front of his eyes, his internal organs gradually returning to their original positions.
The next day at dusk, after he cleaned up the table and went off work, Lin Wan Bai received a call from Xiao Yun Zheng.
Half an hour later, at the restaurant near the company.
The location this time was decided by Lin Wan Bai. Every time she ate with Xiao Yun Zheng, she would eat in a high-class restaurant, but she would always make it awkward for others to treat her to food. But if it was a place that was too expensive, she wouldn't be able to treat them to.
With the Sichuan cuisine as the main dish, the waiter recommended a few specialties, and Xiao Yun Zheng ordered two more dishes.
raised his eyebrows. "Lin Wan Bai, I thought you were going on a date and had the time to eat with your friends. Hmm, looks like you can't be considered as someone who values women more than your friends!"
Her tone was like a joke, as though she had already overturned what she had said in the car last time, and Lin Wan Bai had not taken it too seriously at that time.
"He's on a business trip …" She explained somewhat awkwardly.
"Damn!" I take back what I just said! " After Xiao Yun Zheng heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes.
Lin Wan Bai held onto his cup and drank his water, his face filled with shyness.
It took some time before the dishes were served. Xiao Yun Zheng changed positions a few times, but were not satisfied. "This restaurant is really small, it's so crowded, and so uncomfortable!"
"This place is pretty good. Previously, we had ordered some takeout dishes here at noon. The taste is quite good. You'll know soon enough after you try it!" Lin Wan Bai laughed helplessly and said, "Young Master Yun, you should just experience the affairs of the people for a while!"
As he was speaking, the dishes were served. A big bowl of Boiled Fish was served, and the smell of chilli wafted into his nose.
Xiao Yun Zheng seemed to like the taste of the dish, she didn't complain anymore and started to eat with her chopsticks.
Maybe because it was too delicious, the two of them almost didn't have the time to come out and chat. When they were almost done eating, Xiao Yun Zheng finally looked up from her plate and asked her, "Lin Wan Bai, what are you going to do after eating?"
"I have to go back." Lin Wan Bai expressed.
"What time is it!?" It's not even seven yet, what's the point of you coming home so early! " Xiao Yun Zheng pointed to her watch.
Under his forceful questioning, Lin Wan Bai could only reply with a red face, "Uh, his plane returned tonight …."
"What a coincidence!" Xiao Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows and suddenly said. Then she paused and asked, "I have a comrade that can fly here tonight, so I plan to meet him at the airport later. Do you want to come along with me?"
To meet you...
Lin Wan Bai quickly thought for two seconds and nodded, "Alright!"
An hour later, the sports car was already on the airport highway, and in front of it was the toll gate.
Lin Wan Bai, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was a little nervous and excited. He imagined that Huo Chang Yuan would be very surprised to see him at the airport.
After parking the sports car in the open air parking space, the two of them started to untie their seat belts. Pushing open the car door, only then did Lin Wan Bai realise that his phone had fallen into a crack somewhere, and hurriedly picked it up, noticing that there was a missed call.
The one displayed was actually Yan Feng.
Lin Wan Bai was a little surprised, because he had called in three times in a row. He was not Huo Chang Yuan, so he would not relentlessly chase after her, he would usually only call once to look for her, when she saw him again.
As he walked towards the airport lobby, he called back with a puzzled expression.
"Brother Yan Feng? You called me? "
"That's right!" Why haven't you picked up the phone yet? "
"I didn't hear it just now." Lin Wan Bai explained. Hearing his strange tone, she could not help but ask, "Brother Yan Feng, what's wrong, are you looking for me for something important?"
Yan Feng paused for two seconds, then suddenly spoke with a heavy tone, "Xiao Wen, break up with Hutong!"
"Brother Yan Feng..." Lin Wan Bai was startled.
"Xiao Wen, you know that I will never harm you! You guys are unsuitable. You cannot continue to be together with him, or else you will be harmed! "
"Brother Yan Feng, what are you talking about …"
Lin Wan Bai frowned, this was not the first time she had heard him say that, and she did not understand why.
She was about to hang up, but Yan Feng seemed to be very anxious, as she almost shouted out, "Huo Chang Yuan has a fiancee!"
Lin Wan Bai's breathing stopped.
With the buzzing in his head, the radio seemed to be reminding him that the flight from New York had landed.
As people continued to walk out, she seemed to see a familiar tall figure. Just as she was about to step forward, she stopped again. Beside her was a tall slender figure walking out, side by side.
Lin Wan Bai's blood froze.
The last words of Yan Feng echoed in her ears again and again, "I saw him at New York Airport, together with his fiancee! "They've already returned to the country together …"
