After a while, Ruan Chen crushed the cigarette butt in his hand and said calmly: "It's time to go back."
Zhou Cishen took out his cell phone: "You go in first and I'll make a call."
Ruan Chen hummed, turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
As soon as he returned to the door of the private room, he saw Xu Wan coming out of it and stopped in his tracks.
After Xu Wan was quiet for a few seconds, he raised his hand and greeted him: "Hi."
Ruan Chen said: "Where to go?"
Xu Wan originally wanted to go to the bathroom, but in this situation, it was not easy to answer, so he made an excuse: "It's too stuffy in here, let's go out for a walk."
Ruan Chen pursed his lips slightly: "Let's go together then."
Xu Wan could only nod bravely.
Downstairs, there are well-proportioned rockeries and antique pavilions. The sound of the fountain gurgling makes people's impetuous mood calm down unconsciously.
The two walked side by side, neither fast nor slow.
After a while, Ruan Chen asked: "What are your plans for the future?"
Xu Wan let out a breath: "Let's talk tomorrow, there will always be a way ahead."
Ruan Chen lowered his head and said nothing.
Xu Wan turned her head and glanced at him, slowly clasped her hands hanging by her side, and said softly: "Thank you."
Ruan Chen raised his head: "Thank me for what?"
Xu Wan smiled lightly and looked forward again: "Nothing, I just want to thank you."
Ruan Chen couldn't help but stop and looked at her back.
Xu Wan walked a few steps and realized that Ruan Chen hadn't followed. She turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Chen stood there and spoke unhurriedly: "You asked me before what kind of girl I like."
Hearing this, Xu Wan couldn't help but be stunned. The words came to his lips, but he didn't know what to say. He hesitated and said: "Yes...yes..."
"As a courtesy, shouldn't you also tell me what kind of boy you like?"
Xu Wan probably didn't expect him to ask such a question, so he stood there without speaking.
Ruan Chen raised his legs and walked towards her.
When he stopped, Xu Wan quickly looked away and said with a smile: "I'm not a little girl anymore. I've long passed the age of what kind of boys I like. There is no standard for this thing.
But you, you are at the right age now. Falling in love on campus is a very beautiful thing, you have to seize it...if you miss the opportunity, you will lose it."
Ruan Chen ignored her next words and said directly: "Then what do you think of me?"
Xu Wan forced a smile: "You are quite good, you have good grades, you are smart, you are handsome, and there are many little girls who like you, you..."
Ruan Chen interrupted her: "That's not what I'm asking."
Xu Wan's eyes had nowhere to go. When she looked around, she turned her head and met Ruan Chen's gaze, dark and quiet, as if waiting for her answer.
Xu Wan felt that his breathing suddenly became tense, and his heartbeat kept accelerating.
At this time, two girls passed by and were discussing Xu Wan and Qin Yuhui. It could be heard that they were probably Xu Wan's fans.
Ruan Chen is tall and good-looking. Even if he stands there doing nothing, he silently attracts the attention of passers-by.
Just as they looked over, Xu Wan suddenly felt his wrist being held.
The next second, she threw herself into the boy's arms.
He was wearing clean short-sleeved trousers, and his body had the unique hormonal smell of a teenager, which was hot and scorching.
When the two girls saw this, they couldn't help but let out a small scream.
“Did you see it? Did you see it?
That boy is so handsome!"
"I saw it! Is he a celebrity? Why do I think I have seen him somewhere?"
"I also think he looks familiar, but if he looks like this, he will definitely be popular if he becomes a celebrity. Is he an internet celebrity?"
"I don't have much impression... Moreover, I feel that his girlfriend is also very beautiful, and her back looks like Xu Wan."
"Oh my god, they look like Xu Wan. They must be very beautiful. I don't know how eye-catching the two of them are when they walk together."
"Another lemonade day."
The two girls were talking and looking back frequently.
It wasn't until they walked away that Ruan Chen let go of his hand.
Xu Wan finally reacted and took two steps back.
Ruan Chen said: "Sorry, I see you are not wearing a mask."
Xu Wan's cheeks turned red. She didn't know whether it was because she was suffocated in his arms or something else. She stammered: "No...it's okay. Let's go back."
After speaking, she quickly turned around and walked forward with her head down.
Ruan Chen stopped her: "Over there."
Xu Wan: "..."
She turned back again and quickened her pace to leave.
Ruan Chen looked away and looked down at his palm, which seemed to still have the warmth of her skin.
…
In the private room, Pei Shanshan saw that Ruan Chen hadn't come back yet, so he had already started looking for another way out, and downloaded a screen full of dating apps on his phone.
Seeing this, Ruan Xingwan moved closer to Zhou Cishen and lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on with Daniel? Have you found out?"
Zhou Cishen added water to her cup and said slowly: "I'll tell you when I get back."
Ruan Xingwan looked at Pei Shanshan again, a little worried.
Jiang Chuning, who had been slow to react after eating, finally realized what Pei Shanshan meant. She asked, "Sister Shanshan, are you looking for a boyfriend?"
Pei Shanshan said: "Yes, do you have any suitable relatives in your family to introduce to me?"
Jiang Chuning thought for a while and asked tentatively: "My uncle?"
Hearing this, Pei Shanshan became somewhat interested and asked, "Is your uncle handsome?"
Jiang Chuning nodded solemnly: "Handsome."
Although, he is indeed not bad.
Pei Shanshan's eyes lit up: "How are you in shape?"
Jiang Chuning thought for a while and continued to nod: "Okay."
Although she hasn't seen it, it should be pretty good.
Pei Shanshan said: "Introduce him to me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Cishen's voice came faintly from not far away: "Why don't you ask his name."
Pei Shanshan thought this was also true, and asked Jiang Chuning: "What is your uncle's name?"
Jiang Chuning said: "Jiang Shanghan."
Pei Shanshan: “…………”
The fighting spirit she had just ignited suddenly died down.
This unlucky kid is playing tricks on her on purpose.
Jiang Chuning said: "He is a bit fierce, but I recently discovered that he seems to be only fierce towards me. The rest of the time, although he has a cold face and does not speak, he is not that scary."
Pei Shanshan said: "Come on, I'm not that lucky."
Ruan Xingwan held back her laughter and touched Jiang Chuning's head: "Let's eat."
By the time Ruan Chen and Xu Wan came back, they had almost eaten.
After leaving the restaurant, Xu Wan said: "My driver is still waiting for me, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he ran away without looking back.
Ruan Xingwan looked at her hurried back, couldn't help turning her head to look at Ruan Chen, and asked, "What did you do?"
