In the evening.
After work, he walked out of the office building and saw a familiar figure standing at the door.
When he saw her, he stood up straight and walked over. He was still wearing his demonic clothes and his thin collar was wide open. The small jade Buddha's body swayed along with his movements.
Xiao Yun Zheng escorted her as she walked out anxiously.
Lin Wan Bai did not break away, he was dragged towards the revolving door all the way, "Where are we going?"
"Just follow me!"
Xiao Yun Zheng only said that and stuffed her inside the carriage.
He didn't even ask where he was going. The throttle was almost at its limit. He would look at his watch from time to time as if he was in a hurry.
Reaching the destination, Lin Wan Bai was still confused, but not unfamiliar, it was the airport hall that she had been to a few days ago, just that she did not know why she was here.
The exit was surrounded by a lot of people. Most of them were here to pick up the plane, and there were a lot of people holding signs.
Xiao Yun Zheng also raised her head, and stood there looking around.
The radio warned of a certain flight landing from New York. Very quickly, a wave of people started to surge out.
Xiao Yun Zheng's gaze suddenly fixed on a certain place, "It's out!"
Lin Wan Bai also followed his line of sight and saw a man with short black sleeves. He was tall and straight, with a black windbreaker on his wrist.
"Brother Feng, we're here!" Xiao Yun Zheng raised her hand.
Once he was in front of him, Lin Wan Bai licked his lips and said, "Brother Yan Feng …"
Maybe it was because they had already seen each other in the New York before, but they could still maintain a calm composure when meeting each other again.
Yan Feng shook her head and helplessly sighed at her, "This time I had to settle some matters when I returned home during the next few days of vacation. I originally planned to give you a pleasant surprise, but I didn't think that Yun Zheng would actually bring you here!"
"Won't this be a pleasant surprise for both of you?" Xiao Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows.
Yan Feng laughed, raised her hand and bumped it against his manly body.
This scene was too familiar, and would always be played out in the past. Lin Wan Bai was even a little dazed, as if nothing had happened, and nothing had changed …
Xiao Yun Zheng motionlessly suggested, "Come, let's go eat!"
The location was set by Xiao Yun Zheng. When she arrived, Lin Wan Bai realized that it was from a private hotpot restaurant that she and Huo Chang Yuan had visited before.
There were only three of them, but Xiao Yun Zheng had asked for a box with ten people, completely revealing his current status as a Young Master.
The temperature of the air conditioner was very low. The hot pot used a clear and hot wolfberry chicken soup. After the waiter served all the dishes, he closed the door considerately.
When Yan Feng picked up the chopsticks, she seemed to have thought of something, "Oh right, Little Wen, are you very familiar with Hutong?"
Lin Wan Bai paused his hand that was about to scoop out the sesame paste.
This was not the first time he had asked this question. He had been interrupted the last time, but now, he had changed his method.
"Hutong?" Xiao Yun Zheng interrupted and had already started replying on her behalf, saying lazily, "I know about this, Lin Wan Bai's company has some business dealings with the Hauptmann's!"
"Mm …" Lin Wan Bai looked down guiltily.
Just as the copper pot boiled and bubbled, the phone in his bag suddenly rang.
Lin Wan Bai fished out the chopsticks, but it was unknown if it was because of something else in her heart, but she had nearly lost control of it. The two words "Huo Chang Yuan" was displayed on the screen.
"Xiao Wen, aren't you going to answer the phone?" Yan Feng could not help but ask.
Lin Wan Bai shook his head, and put it back into his bag with mute, "It's nothing, a number that I don't know."
Yan Feng nodded, and did not ask further. She gave her two pieces of beef that had just been washed.
After Lin Wan Bai finished eating, he stood up from his seat and stuffed his phone back into his pocket without leaving a trace, "I'm going to the washroom!"
After entering one of the cubicles and closing the door, Lin Wan Bai took out his phone.
She swallowed her saliva. Just as she was about to call back, Huo Chang Yuan called again, just like how strong his person was.
"Why aren't you answering the phone!"
Just as expected, Huo Chang Yuan's tone was very aggressive.
Lin Wan Bai mumbled a lie, "I didn't hear it … "What's wrong?"
"Come here." Huo Chang Yuan threw a word towards her.
Lin Wan Bai held his hand tightly, "I feel a bit uncomfortable today, I want to rest at home …"
"Tired from last night?" Huo Chang Yuan said mischievously.
"Mm …" She obeyed.
"Good luck!" Huo Chang Yuan laughed and scolded her. He paused for a while, and then asked without giving up, "Are you really not coming over?"
Lin Wan Bai immediately replied, "I'm already asleep!"
"Forget it." Huo Chang Yuan hung up.
As if he was afraid that Ye Zichen would call him again, he just shut down the phone.
Lin Wan Bai closed his eyes and lowered his head. His hands were drenched in sweat.
Returning back to the room, Xiao Yun Zheng looked at her and frowned, "Lin Wan Bai, are you alright?"
Lin Wan Bai shook his head.
Seeing Yan Feng's gaze on her, she smiled. "I'm fine …"
Lin Wan Bai also did not know why he would lie to Huo Chang Yuan on the phone.
Regardless of whether it was her previous male colleague Xiao Wu or Xiao Yun Zheng, she was able to remain calm and collected in front of him. However, when she was with Yan Feng, she did not dare say it.
That night, Yan Feng took a taxi to bring her back.
Xiao Yun Zheng drank a little too much, when she walked out of the restaurant her feet were swaying, and she called the host to return first. Comparing the two, Yan Feng had drank quite a bit, but the quantity was just right, and her eyes were clear.
Lin Wan Bai was the most aware of it. Throughout his many years in the army, he had always been a very disciplined person.
The night wind was cool and refreshing. Yan Feng draped a thin coat over her body like she was taking care of a child.
Lin Wan Bai's heart slightly trembled, he opened his mouth: "Brother Yan Feng, that year, I actually..."
She wanted to tell him that she had not gone to the airport because her grandmother had disagreed and had taken her to the hospital with a sudden heart attack. She had avoided him because she was afraid her sick grandmother would be hurt.
But now, he …
"Don't mention the past anymore." Yan Feng cut her off with a smile, but her eyes were warm.
"I …" Lin Wan Bai's voice was a little choked.
There seemed to be thousands of words hidden within, but he didn't know how to say them.
Yan Feng patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Don't think too much into it, go and rest."
"Alright." Lin Wan Bai nodded.
Yan Feng called out to hshe before she turned around again. Under the night sky, her expression looked like she wanted to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, she only said one sentence, "Xiao Wen, good night."
Lin Wan Bai nodded and replied "Good night".
Watching the taxi leave, she wrapped the clothes around her shoulders and walked towards the residential building.
Just as he stepped into the corridor, the scent of tobacco assaulted him.
Lin Wan Bai's body froze, the light coming from the Intuition lamp was dim, but not as deep as his eyes. He bit his lips and asked, his sinister voice following the smoke: "Was that blade given by him?"
