Yang Su knew she was going to pick up Li Weihuan.
She wanted to go with her, but she would have to delay as she needed to get up and brush her teeth.
She gave up on the idea and told Nanxi to take care, reminding her it was still quite late at night and the outside was almost dusk.
Nanxi responded and headed out.
Indeed, it was now just past four in the morning.
The campus was unusually quiet only illuminated by the faint light of street lamps…
At a distance, it was somewhat eerie.
The breeze was cool against her face.
Nanxi felt a little scared.
It was at least a ten-minute walk from the dorm to the campus gate.
She thought if she walks faster, she should be fine!
Her phone rang, and she saw it was Yang Su.
She quickly picked up.
Yang Su said, “I know you’re scared, so I’m calling to talk to you, so you wouldn’t feel as scared!”
Upon hearing this, Nanxi felt moved, “Thank you, Susu, I’m okay!”
Yang Su chuckled, “Why are you thanking me…
Anyway, are you ready for your reunion with Li Weihuan?
For example, a passionate kiss or performing a touching scene like in a sentimental drama…”
“You’ve been reading too many novels!” Nanxi teased, “And come to think of it, it’s only been four months since we last saw each other, it’s not that long!”
“But it’s different, haven’t you heard?
Lovers measure their time differently.
A day apart from you feels like three autumns… you must be going through hundreds of autumns without him!” Yang Su teased her.
“Hey, honestly Nanxi, aren’t you feeling anything now that you’re about to see Li Weihuan?”
Nanxi bit her lip, was she feeling anything?
But she couldn’t quite put a finger on it right now.
At least for now, she felt anticipation and excitement…
The two chatted until Nanxi arrived at the campus gate.
Nanxi told Yang Su to go and sleep, and she ended the call.
Yang Su said, “Okay, okay, I’ll go to sleep, don’t let me hold you back from your romantic rendezvous… Enjoy your sweet time together, and if you don’t return all covered in rash, then you can go missing halfway.
Otherwise, don’t blame me for despising you with all my energy!”
“Ahem!” Nanxi was almost choked by Yang Su’s words!
At the university gate, after explaining the situation to the security guard, Nanxi left.
Bai Yuchuan’s car was already waiting there.
Once she got into the car, Nanxi took a deep breath and apologized, “I’m sorry, have you been waiting a long time?”
Zhang Mu looked like he had just woken up, while Bai Yuchuan replied, “It’s okay, we haven’t been waiting long!”
Nanxi fell silent, mainly because she didn’t want to disturb Zhang Mu’s sleep.
Zhang Mu, Yan Chenqing, and Bai Yuchuan were all Li Weihuan’s college roommates and best buddies.
Initially, they weren’t in the same dormitory, but after some complex and heart-stopping events, they ended up rooming together.
They had similar interests and got along well.
Now, nearly three years after graduation, their friendship remains unchanged.
Sometimes Nanxi envied them.
Even after graduation, they lived together like they did during their college days.
Nanxi thought, her current roommates, Lan Qiqi and Yang Su, who were close to her, were not from H City.
But until she found her parents, she would likely continue to stay in H City.
As for her dorm mate, Han Baobao was a pure H City local, but they didn’t get along that well.
If Yang Su and Lan Qiqi indeed returned to their original cities in the future, she might feel quite lonely.
Yes, she should feel lonely!
Having thought of that, Nanxi sighed, looking out of the car window at the neon lights flickering in the bustle of the world, each light and shadow blending into the others.
Just like friendship, closely linked.
But if a few of the street lamps were to go out and there were no other lights to fill in, how would one free oneself from the ensuing darkness?!
At four fifty, the plane Li Weihuan was on arrived in H City on schedule.
In the airport lobby, amidst the bustling crowd, a tall young man wearing a beige casual windbreaker and sunglasses, carrying a dark-grey lightweight suitcase, walked out.
He took his phone out of his pocket and turned it on as he walked.
Even with most of his features hidden behind the sunglasses, from his high nose, thin lips, and well-defined jaw, it was evident he was a handsome man.
He dialed a number on his phone, a slight smile on his lips, he said, “Xiaobai, it’s me, I’m here!”
Just as he finished speaking, he paused, his eyes deepening beneath his sunglasses…
When Bai Yuchuan received the call from Li Weihuan, they were almost at the airport entrance.
Hearing Li Weihuan’s voice, he felt a jolt of excitement, “We’ll be there in two minutes.
Just as he was about to tell him “Nanxi is also here”, on the other end of the line, Li Weihuan spoke again, “Xiaobai, you and Zhang Mu go back first.
My family came to pick me up.
I’ll join you as soon as I can!”
Before Bai Yuchuan could reply, Li Weihuan had already hung up.
Zhang Mu was now more awake.
Frowning, he asked Bai Yuchuan, “What happened?”
“Huanzi got taken away by his family.
We came for nothing tonight!” Bai Yuchuan explained.
Nanxi’s heart skipped a beat.
She bit her lip and remained silent.
Zhang Mu did not look good either.
He turned his head wanting to comfort Nanxi but didn’t know what to say.
He usually thought he had a good command of his words, but now, he was speechless.
They had gotten up early in the morning, from the twilight hours to the gradual brightening of the day, only to not be able to pick the person they wanted.
It was impossible for them not to feel disappointed.
But Nanxi wasn’t overly upset about it.
Li Weihuan was coming back from the United States.
His family would naturally know about it.
Because they disapproved of her, she should have known this might happen.
Therefore, she shouldn’t be feeling disappointed.
“Do you think if we wait here, we might be able to meet Huanzi?” Zhang Mu went on.
Bai Yuchuan didn’t say anything, but he didn’t start the car either.
Meanwhile, Nanxi stared straight ahead at the direction of the airport exit.
But with the distance and the crowd, she couldn’t see much.
She felt a bit deflated and told Bai Yuchuan, “Let’s just leave!”
Bai Yuchuan pressed his lips together before finally starting the car.
As the car turned, Nanxi glanced at the rearview mirror and saw a black Land Rover making a turn in another direction.
At the moment of the turn, she saw a man’s face clearly reflected in her pupils.
Paired with the Land Rover, Nanxi was sure that it was Lu Yinchu!
But what was he doing at the airport this early in the morning?
And there seemed to be other people in his car, not just one…
Could he be picking someone up?
Was it the same plane as Li Weihuan?
In the Land Rover, the driver was Lu Yinchu.
In the back seat, Li Weihuan and Li Mufang were seated.
Li Mufang had been pulling on her younger brother’s arm as if afraid he was going to run away.
Li Weihuan had a frown on his face, clearly unhappy.
Li Mufang pushed him slightly, “Your uncle came to pick you up so early, couldn’t you even thank him?”
Master Lu is exposed, hahaha.
Please remember to give recommendation votes, don’t forget about the group, muah~
