Chapter 195 Spending the Night at Her House
Ye Wanqing's fingers rested lightly on the remote control, trembling slightly, as if she wanted to change the channel and escape from this slightly ambiguous atmosphere.
However, her reason told her that such an action was too deliberate and might make the atmosphere even more awkward.
So she took a deep breath, forced herself to remain calm, and continued to keep her eyes fixed on the TV screen.
It was late at night, and only a soft floor lamp was on in the room. A man and a woman were sharing this warm yet slightly cramped space. A drama about emotional entanglement was playing on TV. The pictures were hazy and evocative, adding a bit of subtle emotion to this quiet night.
Even Ye Wanqing, who was always known for her calmness and self-possession, felt a little uneasy at this moment.
She unconsciously lowered her head and her eyes fell on the remote control in her hand, as if it was a refuge where she could escape reality, and she deliberately avoided the heart-pounding TV screen.
Fortunately, that imaginative plot did not last long. It was like a sudden storm that passed by quickly, leaving only a brief shock.
The approximately one-minute shot is enough to stir ripples in one's heart, but not so much that one becomes addicted.
When the picture finally returned to normal, Ye Wanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked up at Lin Xuan who was sitting opposite her and found that he had finished the noodles in his bowl and was drinking water leisurely. His eyes inadvertently swept across the TV, but did not stay for too long, and soon turned back to Ye Wanqing.
Feeling his gaze, Ye Wanqing's heart inexplicably tightened, and the event that was on the hot search today suddenly emerged in her mind.
She broke the silence by asking, "Have you... read the trending searches on Weibo today?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan gently put down the glass in his hand, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
"What's trending?" His voice was low and magnetic.
Ye Wanqing found herself unusually awake at this moment, without the slightest feeling of sleepiness, and an unprecedented desire to communicate surged in her heart.
She picked up her phone, unlocked the screen, and showed Lin Xuan the screenshot Qin Zhuyu had sent her. A hint of helplessness appeared on her face. “I don’t know how I was photographed.”
Neither she nor Lin Xuan are from the entertainment industry. Although they each have a certain degree of attention, they are not targeted by paparazzi.
Ye Wanqing couldn't help but wonder, are today's entertainment reporters so idle that they even have to pay attention to the daily lives of these two ordinary people?
Lin Xuan took the phone, carefully browsed the content on the screen, and frowned slightly.
After a moment, he looked up at Ye Wanqing, his tone filled with confusion: "I don't check Weibo often."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing smiled faintly: "That's right, you don't have time to pay attention to these things."
She knew very well how busy Lin Xuan was. If he had time to check Weibo, he would have pushed his career to new heights long ago. There was no way he would waste time on these insignificant things.
Lin Xuan took out his mobile phone and logged into Weibo skillfully, but found that the entry about them was no longer on the hot search list.
"No more." He said lightly, with a hint of relief in his tone.
"Once the hype subsides, it will naturally disappear." Ye Wanqing twirled her phone, a thoughtful look in her eyes. "Do you still expect it to stay on the trending search list all day?"
Having said that, she suddenly changed the subject and glanced at Lin Xuan sharply: "Have you offended anyone recently?"
Hearing this, Lin Xuan hummed softly, with a hint of confusion and curiosity in his voice: "Hmm?" He seemed to be thinking about Ye Wanqing's question, and seemed to be recalling what had happened recently.
Seeing that he didn't answer immediately, Ye Wanqing continued, "Otherwise, how could we both be trending on the Internet? I've been keeping a low profile lately and shouldn't be getting so much attention. So the problem is probably on your side."
Her tone was somewhat analytical, yet gentle and caring.
Under Ye Wanqing's slightly inquiring gaze, Lin Xuan's dark eyes were like the deep night sky, flickering with an unknown light. "Perhaps, this is just a way for some reporters to have fun. They always like to catch the wind and make up stories."
Ye Wanqing shook her head slightly, expressing reservations about Lin Xuan's explanation.
In her opinion, if those reporters were really bored, they should chase after those hot stars instead of these two ordinary people who were not active in the public eye.
But she knew Lin Xuan's character very well and didn't like to get too entangled in such trivial matters, so she chose to remain silent.
The atmosphere in the living room gradually became quiet. Ye Wanqing casually changed the TV channel, but found that she was not interested in any program.
Her eyes involuntarily fell on Lin Xuan again, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness: "Don't you want to take a rest? You've been sitting for a long time."
Lin Xuan glanced down at the exquisite watch on his wrist, a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, "I want to enjoy this rare tranquility for a while longer."
Since they met, such peaceful and warm time together has been few and far between.
Ye Wanqing picked up a soft pillow, held it gently in her arms, and casually changed the channels, but she gradually felt sleepy and couldn't help yawning.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with an imperceptible tenderness, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep, you don't have to accompany me." His voice was full of warmth and care.
Ye Wanqing responded, put down the pillow in her hand, stood up and walked towards the room, leaving a soft "good night". Lin Xuan also replied "good night", with a hint of reluctance in his voice.
The night gradually deepened. Ye Wanqing returned to her room, closed the windows, and turned off the lights. She lay quietly in the darkness, staring at the ceiling, her mind full of thoughts.
She had to admit that every time Lin Xuan appeared it seemed like fate, so perfect that it even made her wonder if he had installed some kind of mysterious sensing device in her home.
But she quickly rejected this idea. She knew that Lin Xuan had his reasons for visiting every time, although many times it seemed like a coincidence.
His luck was indeed so good that it made people jealous. Ye Wanqing raised the corners of her mouth slightly and fell asleep unknowingly.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, Ye Wanqing slowly woke up.
When she went downstairs, she found that Lin Xuan had finished washing up and changed into a well-tailored dark suit. An exquisite breakfast was placed on the dining table. She knew without asking that it was delivered by Secretary Zhao early in the morning.
Ye Wanqing yawned as she walked to the dining table and sat down. "Good morning," her voice was filled with a hint of laziness and joy. After a night's rest, her cold had mostly healed, and her mood had become particularly relaxed.
The weather has been getting hotter recently, but the breeze in the early morning still has a hint of coolness.
Lin Xuan wore a white shirt and black trousers, making him look even more handsome and tall. His face, as delicate as a sculpture, seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light in the sunlight, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Ye Wanqing looked away, took the milk handed to her by Lin Xuan, and said "thank you" softly.
Lin Xuan also looked at her. She was wearing a simple yet elegant dress. Although the style was simple, it perfectly outlined her graceful figure.
"Are you planning to go out today?" There was a hint of inquiry and expectation in Lin Xuan's voice.
"Yeah." Ye Wanqing nodded slightly. She planned to visit a doctor today to talk about her physical condition.
Lin Xuan did not continue to ask. He knew that Ye Wanqing did not have many friends. Apart from Qin Zhuyu and Zhao Jinyu, she had almost no close friends.
Today is a working day, and Qin Zhuyu has to go to work, so she naturally won't disturb Qin Zhuyu; and Zhao Jinyu needs to go abroad to expand the market for work, and it will take at least three months for her to come back.
Looking at Ye Wanqing's casual outfit, Lin Xuan had already guessed something. She was dressed so casually, obviously going to meet someone she knew, and most likely had something important to discuss.
"Will you be back this afternoon?"
Ye Wanqing looked at Lin Xuan in surprise. She didn't expect him to ask that. She raised her head and her eyes met his. "Yes, I'll be back this afternoon. Is there anything you need?"
Lin Xuan smiled slightly, his eyes falling on the rose garden outside the window. "Why don't you consider building a glass greenhouse for your roses? That way they can grow better."
Ye Wanqing was stunned for a moment. Those roses… a complex emotion welled up in her heart. Those roses had once been a tool for her to while away her time, but now, under Lin Xuan's careful care, they had become full of vitality.
Seeing her silence, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows rarely, "What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?" His voice was full of concern and inquiry.
"Nothing." Ye Wanqing came back to her senses and shook her head slightly.
She once thought about building a glass greenhouse in her own small villa, but always put it on hold for various reasons.
She didn't like those roses that much at first, but it rained that day, and with Lin Xuan's help, they grew well. Those bright flowers seemed to tell her that no matter how difficult life was, she had to try her best to bloom.
Lin Xuan's words were like a lifeline thrown to her, allowing her to see hope in her long journey.
