SYLM Chapter 92

Chapter 92 “Today, I Only Want to Be with You.”

Chapter 92 “Today, I Only Want to Be with You.”

After ending the video call with Gu Wan Jun, Chen Lu held her phone, her fingertips gently caressing the screen, as if she could still feel the other’s gentle smile.

Sure enough, whenever she encountered Gu Wan Jun, she became twisted and awkward, completely unlike herself.

It was simply unreasonable.

Chen Lu took a deep breath and, after a moment of contemplation, dialed a foreign number.

The phone rang a few times before being picked up, and a lazy voice came from the other end, with a hint of teasing in its tone:

“Oh, Chen Lu the great writer, you’ve finally remembered me after being back in the country for so long?”

“……”

Chen Lu gently shook her head, her tone laced with helplessness, “Stop joking, I have something serious to discuss.”

The two chatted for half an hour before Chen Lu hung up.

After ending the call, Chen Lu rubbed her temples, trying hard to concentrate on what she needed to do next.

She stood in front of the closet, her eyes scanning the rows of neatly arranged clothes, finally landing on a white silk shirt and a pair of high-waisted wide-leg pants.

In front of the mirror, the neckline of the shirt was slightly open, revealing a section of fair collarbone, and the cuffs were embroidered with lace patterns, showing refinement in a low-key way. A mercury-colored thin belt outlined Chen Lu’s slender waistline, and the tailored wide-leg suit pants had excellent drape, making her legs look long and slender.

After choosing her clothes, Chen Lu walked to the dressing table and picked out a single-sided ear chain from the jewelry box. A small diamond dangled from the grey-blue chain, gently swaying with her movements, refracting tiny sparkles of light. She also chose a simple silver bracelet and finally sprayed on a little light perfume.

It was the one that Gu Wan Jun had praised as smelling good last time.

She turned around and around in front of the mirror, and after confirming that her outfit was correct, Chen Lu opened another cabinet, which was filled with a dazzling array of gifts.

Expensive cameras, exquisite jewelry, limited edition bags, beautifully bottled perfumes… Besides these, there were also some small gifts that looked cheap but were very meaningful, such as postcards, stamps, photo frames, and so on…

It was Gu Wan Jun’s birthday, and Chen Lu couldn’t go empty-handed in front of Duo Duo, and these gifts in the cabinet were what she had chosen for Gu Wan Jun during the past five years whenever there was a holiday, and over time there were so many.

Looking at the full cabinet of gifts, Chen Lu was a little lost in thought. Before selecting them, she had never imagined that there would be a day to give them away.

Chen Lu sighed, picking and choosing for a long time, and finally her eyes landed on a camera.

It was the one she bought in Paris last year. The body was matte black, and the lens was plated with a faint gold color, which looked noble and elegant.

Chen Lu gently stroked the camera, as if she could feel the temperature hidden under its cold touch.

After choosing the gift, Chen Lu hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up a rabbit cartoon card and solemnly wrote with a pen: [Happy birthday.]

The sun shone all over the earth, and the sky was blue and clear, without a cloud in sight.

Tang Ying and Gu Wan Jun were now teaching first-year classes, and they had no classes today, so they could enjoy a rare leisurely weekend.

Since the “contract of sale” conversation last time, Tang Ying had been going to Fu Yi Wen’s restaurant more often.

In the parking space, Tang Ying unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car. When she walked to the entrance of the restaurant, she saw Fu Yi Wen giving a morning meeting to her employees through the glass door.

Fu Yi Wen wore a checkered shirt with flared jeans, looking capable and efficient. She had a serious expression and firm eyes while giving a meeting to her employees, which was completely different from the playful, smiling, chubby girl she was in front of Tang Ying.

Looking at the contrasting Fu Yi Wen, the corners of Tang Ying’s mouth quietly turned up, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in her eyes.

“Okay, that’s all for today. If I think of anything else, I will let everyone know. Everyone go get busy, thank you for your hard work.”

After Fu Yi Wen finished speaking, she nodded slightly. When her eyes swept over the employees, she unintentionally landed on Tang Ying outside the door.

The originally tense and serious expression instantly became gentle, and a hint of surprise flashed in Fu Yi Wen’s eyes. She raised the corners of her mouth and quickly walked to the door, pushing it open:

“Why are you here? Why didn’t you come in?”

Tang Ying raised her eyebrows, her tone laced with teasing: “Can’t I come to inspect the work?”

“Yes, of course!”

Fu Yi Wen smiled even more brightly, thinking that I am all yours, what can’t I do.

After entering, Fu Yi Wen originally wanted to take Tang Ying to a private room, but the next second Tang Ying grabbed her, her tone direct: “I want to watch a movie.”

“……”

Fu Yi Wen was stunned for a moment, glanced at the time, although it was just the start of work, but she prioritized Tang Ying in everything and nodded repeatedly without hesitating for more than two seconds:

“No problem, which show do you want to see, I’ll buy the tickets now.”

As Fu Yi Wen was about to take out her mobile phone, Tang Ying directly grabbed her wrist, her tone direct:

“I’ve arranged everything, you just need to show up.”

“……”

After explaining a few more important matters to her employees, Fu Yi Wen followed Tang Ying away.

After getting in the car, Tang Ying received a phone call.

“It’s delivered, right? Okay, got it.”

Tang Ying answered a few words briefly. After the phone was hung up, Fu Yi Wen fastened her seat belt and casually asked:

“Who called? What was delivered?”

Tang Ying did not answer immediately, but turned her head and gave Fu Yi Wen a meaningful look.

Fu Yi Wen’s heart sank under such a look, thinking it was Tang Ying’s family matter. Realizing that she might have been nosy, she laughed awkwardly twice and quickly said:

“I was just asking casually, you don’t have to answer.”

Seeming to be satisfied with this reaction, Tang Ying chuckled and said lightly: “It’s nothing, today is Gu Wan Jun’s birthday, the gift I bought for her has been delivered.”

“…What? Gu Wan Jun’s birthday today?”

Fu Yi Wen’s voice suddenly rose.

Obviously, as soon as Gu Wan Jun’s name was mentioned, she could think of her best friend Chen Lu.

She didn’t know it was Gu Wan Jun’s birthday today, but her Lu Lu must know.

A trace of worry flashed in Fu Yi Wen’s eyes. She immediately took out her mobile phone, wanting to send a message to Chen Lu, but was stopped by Tang Ying.

“What are you going to do?” Tang Ying asked.

“Lu Lu definitely knows it’s Gu Wan Jun’s birthday today, I’m afraid she—”

“Afraid of what?”

Before Fu Yi Wen could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Tang Ying.

Fu Yi Wen looked at her and suddenly realized: “Tang Ying, do you know something? Is Gu Wan Jun going to ask Lu Lu out?”

Tang Ying raised her eyebrows, answering with a question: “If that’s the case, do you think Chen Lu will go?”

Fu Yi Wen did not hesitate: “That goes without saying, of course she will go!”

Tang Ying raised her chin, smiling even more meaningfully: “Then what’s the point of you sending her a message? I’ve told you before, they are willing to hit each other, what are you meddling in? What you need to do now is to honestly go watch a movie with me.”

“……”

Before Fu Yi Wen could answer, Tang Ying had already started the engine.

In the midsummer season, the sun at nine o’clock had already faded the gentleness of the morning and began to show its fiery sharpness.

On the way to Gu Wan Jun’s house, Chen Lu stopped by a flower shop.

The flower shop was filled with all kinds of flowers, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.

Seeing a customer coming, the clerk enthusiastically greeted her: “Miss, what kind of flowers would you like to buy?”

Chen Lu’s eyes wandered through the flowers, hesitated for a while, and said softly: “It’s for a teacher, do you have any recommendations?”

Hearing Chen Lu’s request, the clerk immediately recommended several flowers suitable for teachers. Just as Chen Lu was thinking about which one to buy, her eyes suddenly noticed a pot of clivia.

The thoughts deep in her mind loosened, and she was instantly pulled back to high school.

At that time, she had also given Gu Wan Jun a pot of clivia.

Chen Lu’s lips moved slightly, and in the end, she bought a large bouquet of carnations as if possessed.

As well as that pot of clivia.

On the other side.

After parking the car, Fu Yi Wen and Tang Ying went into the cinema. Tang Ying went to get the tickets, while Fu Yi Wen went to buy drinks and popcorn.

Looking around, Fu Yi Wen found that besides herself and Tang Ying, there was almost no one else in the cinema at this time.

Is this movie so bad? Why is there no one?

Fu Yi Wen couldn’t help but mutter to herself.

After buying the food and drinks, Fu Yi Wen carefully carried them, afraid of dropping them. When she turned around, she found that Tang Ying was holding a stack of movie tickets in her hand.

“Let’s go.”

“…What is this…?”

Fu Yi Wen widened her eyes, at a loss.

Tang Ying weighed the stack of movie tickets in her hand, smiling noncommittally: “I’ve booked the whole theater, let’s go in.”

“Booked the whole theater?”

Fu Yi Wen looked shocked, feeling sorry for Tang Ying’s wallet. She just wanted to say something, but the next second she was directly dragged into the theater by the impatient Tang Ying.

The lights in the theater were dim, the seats were spacious and comfortable, and trailers were playing on the screen.

Tang Ying took Fu Yi Wen to the best viewing position in the center of the theater.

After sitting down, Fu Yi Wen was still thinking about why Tang Ying wanted to book the whole theater.

Could it be that she didn’t want others to see them together…

Fu Yi Wen couldn’t help but overthink. At this moment, Tang Ying suddenly asked her: “Which drink is yours?”

“Ah? Oh.”

Fu Yi Wen came back to her senses, inserted a straw into one of the juice cups and handed it to Tang Ying, then inserted a straw into her own cola and took a sip.

The cold sparkling water spread on her tongue. It was the perfect weather to drink ice-cold cola.

Fu Yi Wen smacked her lips contentedly, but the next second—

“Let me taste yours.”

“……”

Tang Ying’s voice, which couldn’t be heard with any emotion, suddenly floated over, scaring Fu Yi Wen. She turned her head and faced Tang Ying’s bright and sharp face. The straight gaze from her danfeng eyes was not sure if it was staring at her or at the cola cup in her hand.

Fu Yi Wen widened her eyes and couldn’t speak smoothly: “You, you want to taste mine?”

“What, are you reluctant?”

“No… This is cola, haven’t you not been drinking cola lately…”

“I want to drink it today.”

“……”

Fu Yi Wen’s mind went blank, and she didn’t have time to think too much. She subconsciously wanted to take out the straw she had drunk from, but the next second Tang Ying directly took the cola cup in her hand and put the straw in her mouth.

?!

One second, two seconds, three seconds… It was just the effort of drinking a sip of cola, but Fu Yi Wen felt like centuries had passed.

After an unknown amount of time, the cola cup was returned to Fu Yi Wen’s hand, with a faint lipstick mark on the straw.

Fu Yi Wen stared blankly at the mark, not reacting for a long time.

“What’s wrong, do you dislike me?”

“No! How could I!”

Fu Yi Wen suddenly reacted, shaking her head like a rattle. She looked up and found Tang Ying looking at her sideways, smiling at her. The smile was breathtakingly beautiful, like an iceberg melting and spring water emerging.

Fu Yi Wen felt that her heart was beating so fast that she was about to die suddenly.

However, a certain “culprit” seemed to have noticed nothing.

“The movie is starting.” Tang Ying turned her head, leaving Fu Yi Wen with only a beautiful profile.

As soon as she spoke, Fu Yi Wen subconsciously turned her head to look at the big screen.

The temperature of Tang Ying seemed to still remain on the cola cup in her hand. After a while, Fu Yi Wen couldn’t help but secretly glance at Tang Ying, who was concentrating on watching the screen.

If the lipstick mark on the straw still existed, Fu Yi Wen would have almost suspected whether the ambiguity just now had really happened.

Listening to her still terrifying heartbeat, Fu Yi Wen took a deep breath and forced herself to concentrate on the movie, but the scene just now kept replaying in her mind.

The moment Tang Ying’s lips gently held the straw, her heart seemed to stop beating directly.

The movie scenes flashed before her eyes, but Fu Yi Wen’s mind was no longer on the plot. She secretly glanced at Tang Ying several times, and found that the other person was still calm, as if the teasing just now was just her illusion.

“Tang Ying…” Fu Yi Wen couldn’t help but whisper.

“Hmm?” Tang Ying responded, her eyes not leaving the big screen.

“You… Why did you book the whole theater?” Fu Yi Wen hesitated for a while, but still asked the question in her heart.

Tang Ying chuckled, her tone laced with teasing: “What, don’t you like it?”

“No… I just think it’s too wasteful.” Fu Yi Wen lowered her head, her voice getting smaller and smaller.

“Do you think I would care about this little bit of money?”

“……”

Yes, what does this little bit of money mean to Tang Ying?

And the point she really cares about is not the money.

Fu Yi Wen bit her lip, hesitating whether to ask the question pressing in her heart. As if sensing her thoughts, Tang Ying, who had been staring at the big screen, suddenly turned her head and looked straight into Fu Yi Wen’s eyes:

“I booked the whole theater just because I didn’t want to be disturbed. Today, I only want to be with you.”

“……”
