On the white sports car in front of the main gate of the Luanda University Living Area, Wen Siheng watched the time beat second by second.
Unable to suppress his impatience, he stared at the contact page opened on his phone for a long time, and finally decided to give the other party a call.
He made five calls in a row, but the other party didn't answer. He could vaguely hear the people in the dormitory building counting down to midnight, and he felt a little desperate.
Just when he was about to give up, the beeping in the receiver suddenly stopped, and was replaced by the sound of people on the other end of the phone.
Probably because she didn't notice that the answer button was accidentally pressed on the mobile phone in her pocket, Jian Anran didn't know that the countdown sounds of "five, four, three,..." were all transmitted to Wen Siheng's eardrums through the mobile phone.< /p>
"Happy New Year." On the other end of the phone, he heard a male voice approaching Jian Anran and saying softly.
……
The countdown to midnight ended, and the Luojiang Road restaurant was very lively.
Shen Huainan's hands were resting on the table. He stepped forward and said "Happy New Year" in Jian Anran's ear.
His breath gently brushed against her ear, unknowingly touching the ends of her hair and spreading red all over her cheeks.
Even Jian Anran herself couldn't understand the meaning of the violent "thump thump" of her heart just now. When she came to her senses, Shen Huainan had already put his hands in his pockets and leaned lazily on the back of the chair.
Turning his head, he didn't know whether he was avoiding her sight or watching the fireworks on the river.
The firelight burst out brightly in his eyes, and Jian Anran felt as if the sharp angle of his jaw could cut open her chest and insert all of him into her heart.
During the break between fireworks, he suddenly turned around, supported his chin with both hands, and blinked twice with heavy eyelids.
Shen Huainan suddenly said, "It's midnight."
Jian Anran said "huh?" in confusion, and was so immersed in the appearance, words and deeds of the man in front of her that she even felt that she was secreting dopamine rapidly.
The other party then asked: "Do you know what zero means?"
"What?" she asked cautiously.
The ambiguous eyes, the perfect atmosphere, and some kind of romantic BGM were probably going to appear in the movie, but Jian Anran suddenly felt that everything was silent at this moment.
Shen Huainan wrinkled his nose slightly, "Zero o'clock means it's time for dormitory access control?"
Jian Anran:......
She couldn't help but said "Huh?" very loudly, that's it?
Jian Anran had to reflect again that the current environment must be too ambiguous, which gave her the illusion of being in love.
When I woke up from the dream, I looked at the outfits Shen Huainan and myself were wearing. One was a thin sweater, and the other was an extremely warm down jacket. They were incompatible with the surrounding environment. The others were either a family reunion New Year's Eve dinner, or they were just two people in the world. It was a romantic meal, and the two of them were like confused college students out for a walk who stumbled into the buffet.
"Help!" She didn't remember the issue of access control in the dormitory at all, "What should I do?"
The hotels near Luojiang Road were extremely expensive. Jian Anran just opened a certain travel app and took a look at it, and immediately pulled it out.
"Forget it." She thought for a while, opened the software again, and searched for express hotels near the school.
【Sold out】
Coming over and taking a look next to her, Shen Huainan paused for a moment before suddenly suggesting: "If you don't mind, there is an empty house near Chu Chen's house."
Seeing that Jian Anran was about to refute, he immediately added, "The space must be large enough to ensure private space, and each room has its own bathroom."
She didn't seem to find any excuse to refute, so she thought for a while and asked: "But just swiping his card for dinner tonight, it's not appropriate to go to someone else's house without his consent, isn't it?"
Shen Huainan then said: "I asked him a long time ago, and I originally planned to stay there tonight, and you are not a big deal."
Still doubtful, Jian Anran followed Shen Huainan into a taxi.
As soon as Shen Huainan got on the bus, he started to explain again: "Public transportation is not convenient there. It is quite far from the bus station. It is more convenient to take a taxi."
According to Shen Huainan, who came directly from the riverside, Chu Chen's house had been vacant for only about fifteen minutes. When Jian Anran got out of the car and saw the gate, she was dumbfounded——
Is this it?
No matter how rich her imagination was, Jian Anran could never have imagined that Shen Huainan would take her to live in the clouds. Today he was walking in a completely different direction than usual, so much so that she didn't even recognize him along the way.
She shook her head subconsciously, and then nodded like a sieve, "It's indeed surprising."
"But if it's Chu Chen," Jian Anran immediately added, "it doesn't seem to be a surprise to live here."
Qishangyunduan is one of Luojiang's top luxury flats, and it is quite common for a family like Chu Chen to buy a property here.
She walked along the green road that Jian Anran was very familiar with until she reached a fork. This time she turned to the other side that she had never walked before.
Suddenly she remembered that not long ago, she met Shen Huainan downstairs, and Xu Nianhe, who had just been kicked out by Wen Siheng not far away and was sitting downstairs.
"Do you feel familiar?" Shen Huainan asked casually.
Jian Anran suddenly became a little nervous, "Huh?"
He pointed to the door of the unit opposite that he was very familiar with, "This is where I met you last time."
"I also told you that Teacher Wen Siheng also lives here." Shen Huainan added.
What did he know? Jian Anran's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she couldn't think of how to answer for a while.
Shen Huainan stopped, turned around and smiled, "Don't you have a relative living here?"
"Ah, yes!" She suddenly thought of the lame excuse she used to deal with Shen Huainan last time, and she was secretly glad that the other party really believed it.
The staff in the lobby downstairs saw Shen Huainan coming from a distance and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door. Shen Huainan stepped forward and blocked the unit door, signaling for Jian Anran to go forward.
Lowering her head and saying "thank you", Jian Anran still glanced behind her when she walked in. She happened to meet Shen Huainan's eyes behind her, and she hurriedly avoided her eyes.
The elevator goes straight up to the top floor. Unlike Wen Siheng's house, Chu Chen's house has an elevator entrance.
I have long heard of the existence of this "King of Buildings" in Qishangyunduan. Every home has an elevator access, and the apartment type of this building is also the largest and most luxurious in Qishangyunduan.
The elevator door opened, and the crystal lamp in the entrance almost blinded Jian Anran's eyes. It flickered and fell on the waxed marble floor tiles, turning them into dots.
Before she even walked in, the "Versailles style" that hit her face gave Jian Anran quite a visual shock.
"I'm sorry," Shen Huainan seemed a little embarrassed, "My family prefers this exaggerated style."
