Lin Wan Bai did not utter a word.
After finishing her meal, she cleaned up the dishes and came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands.
Before going upstairs, he picked up the bag on the sofa and casually took out his phone. He pressed the menu twice and found that there was no response.
Frowning, just as she was about to press the switch to see what was going on, a shadow shrouded over her and she did not know when Huo Chang Yuan was standing behind her, but she lightly said, "There's no electricity, right?"
"Uh, maybe …" Lin Wan Bai could not help but nod his head.
"With a charger?" Huo Chang Yuan asked again.
"Nope." Lin Wan Bai rummaged through his bag, then shook his head, "It landed in the office."
Both of Huo Chang Yuan's hands were in his pockets, looking at her with disdain, "Is there something important I need you for?"
"In that case, I have not …" Lin Wan Bai shook his head again.
She had already went to the hospital to see her grandma and even told her best friend, Sang Xiao Yu, not to go back.
"If not, then go upstairs to take a bath!"
"Oh."
Lin Wan Bai still wanted to look at his phone, but he pulled his hand and brought him upstairs.
After they separated to take a bath, Lin Wan Bai laid down on the bed, and when the sound of his footsteps rang out, the quilt next to him was lifted, a piece of the mattress collapsed into the bed, and then he turned out the lights. The entire room was immediately shrouded in darkness.
In less than two seconds, Huo Chang Yuan reached out and grabbed her.
"Don't move!"
Slightly struggling, a deep shout came from the top of his head.
Lin Wan Bai had no choice but to not dare to move. Like a child, he was trapped with his hands and feet, and then said, "Sleep!"
She closed her eyes, listening to his steady heartbeat. Soon she was drowsy.
It was unknown when he had been able to sleep so peacefully by his side.
According to Huo Chang Yuan's arrangement, Grandma's discharge was extended by one day.
Early Saturday morning, the white Land Rover stopped at the entrance of the Inpatient Department. When Lin Wan Bai came out while supporting the old man with his arm, the rear door was already opened.
The last time I came back from the country, my grandmother didn't sleep very well.
He had actually noticed such a small detail …
It would take a long time to drive from Ice City to the countryside, and would take almost an afternoon to arrive.
Lin Wan Bai sat at the back with his grandmother and spoke. Occasionally, when they looked forward, they would see his pair of deep and serene eyes becoming focused. The sunlight shined upon them, making them seem even deeper.
After a long journey, the old man soon fell asleep due to lack of stamina.
The Land Rover stopped at the side of the road and looked over. Lin Wan Bai understood what he meant as he pushed open the door of the car and ran to the front.
After lunch at the rest stop and driving for almost an hour, they finally arrived at the countryside.
Due to the long vacation from before, there wasn't much dust. A simple cleaning would allow a person to live here. Granny decided to stay at home for a long time, so she spent a lot of time packing her luggage.
When Lin Wan Bai finished organizing everything, he realized that the peach wooden chair in the small living room was only used by his grandmother.
She looked towards the kitchen and the bedroom across the room. There was only a black jacket draped over the end of the bed, and the white Land Rover that was outside the yard was also not there. She could not help but ask, "Uh, Grandma, where's Huo Chang Yuan?"
"The light bulb in the living room is broken. Little Huo said he's going to the town to buy it!" Grandma smiled.
"Oh, that!" Lin Wan Bai nodded.
He remembered that he had fixed the door lock before, so he was not surprised.
Lin Wan Bai poured a cup of hot water for Grandma and then went into the bedroom opposite her. He picked up the suit jacket at the end of the bed and swung it high in the air, afraid that it would wrinkle due to the passage of time.
"Pata!"
Perhaps he was too strong, the phone fell out of his pocket.
Lin Wan Bai bent her body, and just as she picked up her phone, it suddenly vibrated. She was shocked, and accidentally touched the green circle on her phone.
The line was connected, and the male voice inside leaked out: "Hello, Chang Yuan!"
Lin Wan Bai was not a stranger, he looked at the screen of his phone, and sure enough it was Qin Si Nian.
Before she could say anything, a string of messages came from the other side, "I say you can't be. The brothers have already booked the vacation area. If you want to set up the pigeons, then set them up! He had even gone to a place like the countryside. How could he not see that he was such a hero?! Miss Lin's small body is enough for you to go through a few rounds! "
Lin Wan Bai's mouth was still open, and his face slowly flushed red.
She originally wanted to apologize for accidentally coming across it, but when she heard the last sentence, she didn't know whether to say it or not.
"But having said that, with so many women previously unable to arouse your interest, I almost thought that you liked men! "The doctor looked at her quite a few times. I didn't expect that you would only harden up when facing her in the end …"
Lin Wan Bai froze, the blood in his body slowly solidified.
Qin Si Nian's teasing words seemed to tangle with every nerve in her head.
She didn't know when the power went off on the cell phone screen, but the buzzing in her ears and whose quiet male voice kept repeating in her ear, "There's no other woman, you're the only one."
You're the only one I've got...
Now that he thought about it, there was only irony left in the words.
No wonder when Huo Chang Yuan had asked her to follow him again and again, he even threatened her with force. There was actually only one reason behind it, it was only when he faced her that he could force himself on his, and only then would he be able to resolve his physiological needs …
So all good is a gift...
It's just a physical need.
Originally, their relationship was like this. Could it be that she was still deluding herself?
Only then did Lin Wan Bai realize that her fingers had been pinched together. She released her grip, and after adjusting her breathing for two consecutive breaths, she walked out with large strides.
Gram has risen from her mahogany chair and is leaning on her cane in the doorway of her bedroom.
When he saw her, he immediately raised his hands in excitement. The wrinkles on his face began to tremble. "Little White, quickly go in and take a look. Little Huo actually bought such a big TV set!"
After Lin Wan Bai heard this, he looked outside and saw that the white Land Rover had returned.
She swallowed and nodded dumbly.
After walking past the somewhat high threshold, the first thing that Lin Wan Bai saw when he walked in was not the fifty-five inch television set, but Huo Chang Yuan who was wearing gloves and squatting by the wall.
There were also two men in yellow overalls, wearing identical hats, presumably the staff who had brought the TV here to install. He was among them, his shirtsleeves rolled up at his elbows, and he did not look like a superior CEO, full of life.
Lin Wan Bai also noticed that on the table beside him, other than the car keys, there were also the new light bulbs.
The suit jacket and mobile phone were still in her hands. She grabbed onto some cloth and walked to his side, then handed the phone over. She stared at his face and slowly moved the corner of her mouth, "Your phone is out of battery …"
