After hesitating for a few seconds, she dialed. The dial tone rang only once before the call was picked up.
Lin Wanwan laughed. “Someone’s speed is quite fast eh.”
“I dare not to be slow. Someone gets angry very easily. I can’t afford that.”
“Chuckle…”
Listening to Lin Wanwan’s laughter, Lu Zhanbei could not help but curve his lips up. “Are you having fun?”
“Yes… I was happy before, but not so happy now.”
“Why?”
Lin Wanwan repeated her experience. The more she said, the more upset she felt. “Ah… I really miss the good food in our Xia country. Chicken with chili sauce, braised pork ribs, steamed pork… even a plate of fried cabbage.”
“That exaggerated?”
His doubts led to Lin Wanwan’s strong complaints. “You didn’t try how those dishes tasted. They were so unpleasant that they make you contemplate life. I’m so hungry but tired. I don’t want to step out and could only rely on my imagination to satisfy the emptiness from my five internal organs. This feeling is simply horrible!”
Lu Zhanbei said with a long sigh, “Indeed, I can’t understand it – I have just ordered Yu Ji’s chicken with chili sauce, braised pork ribs, and steamed pork.”
“…”
Damn! He did this deliberately! She had not seen him for just one day, but he was getting madder already!
Lin Wanwan resisted the urge to hang up his call. She calmly changed the topic. “You? What are you doing now?”
Lu Zhanbei pulled open the window curtains and looked at the window with its lights on opposite him. The snow-white window screens reflected two calves that were moving up and down.
“I’m watching you.”
“Stop joking with me, alright?”
Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes. Then, she heard Lu Zhanbei laugh lightly. It was a low and deep but pleasant laughter. She felt a slight tingling sensation in her heart.
Suddenly, her face blushed red. “Lu Zhanbei…”
Hearing herself with a spoiled child’s voice, Lin Wanwan felt goosebumps up her scalp. Was she being too tender and soft?
She coughed and tried her best to make her voice sound normal. “Actually, today I, ah…”
“Eh?”
Lin Wanwan rolled over in bed. She was a little annoyed at herself for being too shy to speak out.
Actually, she wanted to say that she missed him a little.
When she was at the flower field earlier, she kept thinking how good it would be if Lu Zhanbei was here too.
“The scenery here is so beautiful. There are tulips everywhere in the flower field…”
She started to chatter, like how a girl head over heels in love would share with her lover everything she liked.
Lu Zhanbei listened quietly and added a sentence from time to time plainly, as if he didn’t take what she said to heart.
However, the smile on his face was getting more and more intense. His eyes, which were always cold, sparkled slightly.
After speaking one-sidedly for a while, she recovered herself and said, “Sorry. I have talked a lot today.”
“Indeed.”
“!!!” Damn. As someone who could be promoted to the boyfriend status anytime, he wasn’t even aware he should say something like “It’s fine, I like listening to you talk”?
Bad rating. No room for discussion.
“Then I’ll stop speaking, bye!” Lin Wanwan hung up the call angrily and missed hearing the man’s dull laughter.
Looking at the window opposite him, Lu Zhanbei’s gaze was deep.
He could take action now.
After being attacked by Lu Zhanbei once, her heart was full of resentment. She did not want to think about that a*shole ever again.
She lay bored in bed and continued to watch TV.
At this moment, a series of knocks could be heard.
Lin Wanwan had earlier called for the waiter to take the dishes away so she didn’t find it surprising. She got off the bed and opened the door.
