Zhuang Yan held a date card in his hand, which had the meeting address and time written on it.
Zhuang Yan put the date card into the backpack he would carry tomorrow. He was very tired after a busy day and thought he would fall asleep quickly after going to bed, but his mind was unusually clear.
He was thinking about tomorrow's date. Fang Chen didn't need to think about it; he would definitely give the date card to An Xinrong, so Ling Xuan would be paired with Lu Yan.
How will Lu Yan plan tomorrow's date? Where will they go? What will they do? What kind of breakfast and lunch will they have? What will they talk about?
Zhuang Yan thought about it more and more, recalling the scene of his date with Lu Yan that day.
She rubbed against his leg affectionately while using mosquito repellent, her smile radiant because of an ice cream, and she took many photos with her camera, saying she was recording the beauty of life, but the photos were all of him.
She was very happy that day, but on the way back, he said some things that upset her.
Zhuang Yan thought, what if tomorrow, Lu Yan teases Ling Xuan the way she teased him...
Just thinking about it makes my heart feel like it's been bitten by an insect, and I almost can't breathe from the pain.
The more he thought about it, the more outrageous it became. His mind, which had been somewhat sleepy, became incredibly clear. Frustrated, he pulled the blanket over his head and kicked it a couple of times.
One word: "annoying".
The next day, Zhuang Yan was clearly not in good spirits and didn't even want to eat breakfast. He changed his clothes casually, put on his backpack, and prepared to leave.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lu Yan standing in the corridor. She was wearing a red dress today, and he could smell her fragrance even before he got close.
Lu Yan put on makeup today, making her already beautiful features even more exquisite, and even a little aggressive.
Is it pretty?
Zhuang Yan nodded subconsciously, then, as if remembering something, asked stiffly, "Are you planning to wear this to your date today?"
"Yes." Lu Yan casually twirled the bracelet on her wrist. "Jiang Ning has already set off. I heard from the director that you earned 7,000 yuan yesterday, working on tasks from morning till night. Are you looking forward to your date with her today?"
"No..." He worked hard to earn money not to go on dates with Jiang Ning, but to keep his promise to Lu Yan.
Normally, Lu Yan would have pressed him for answers, but today she said meaningfully, "I'm going on a date with Ling Xuan today. He said he'd take me to an amusement park to ride the roller coaster and Ferris wheel. He said you can see fireflies at night there. I've never been to an amusement park or seen fireflies before."
Zhuang Yan's ears were ringing, as if two bees had flown in and then bit him hard in the head. He couldn't help but frown and his right eyelid twitched.
He watched as Lu Yan deliberately wiped her lips, her lips curving upwards and full. A faint smile remained on her lips, a smile that seemed both confident and mocking.
“You look very happy with Ling Xuan.” Lu Yan didn’t dress up this nicely even when she went on a date with him last time.
Lu Yan took two steps forward, poked Zhuang Yan's stiff arm, and said lazily with a smile, "Yeah, because I like younger brothers, unlike some people who don't like older sisters or aunts and don't give them any chance. Zhuang Yan, am I your older sister or your aunt?"
Zhuang Yan recalled the day Lu Yan cut his hair. To avoid any ambiguous relationship between them, he had coldly stated that he cared about age and didn't like older sisters or aunties.
Now that Lu Yan brought it up again, it was as if the bullet he had fired had suddenly bounced back and hit him right between the eyebrows.
Lu Yan holds a grudge.
Seeing that he remained silent, Lu Yan began to draw circles on his arm with her fingertips: "Are you angry? Ignoring me?"
Zhuang Yan said in a muffled voice, "I'm not angry."
Do you think I don't know whether you're angry or not? Zhuang Yan is the best-tempered person she's ever met. He never argued with her during the three years Xia Wan wasted on him. He was only a little tough on the day the engagement was called off. But if this had happened to someone else, they probably would have smashed everything.
Zhuang Yan is good at being patient and restrained. When she is angry, her eyebrows will involuntarily furrow, her dark eyes will look at you deeply, and her lips will be pursed tightly. Zhuang Yan's lips are beautiful thin lips. It is said that people with this type of mouth are the most stubborn.
Lu Yan was bursting with curiosity and wanted to see just how stubborn Zhuang Yan would be.
"Then call me 'sister' and let me hear it."
When Zhuang Yan met Lu Yan's teasing gaze, a surge of heat rushed to his head. He raised his hand and gently patted down Lu Yan's hand that was drawing circles.
Zhuang Yan felt a slight itch on his arm where she had touched him, but he endured it and said, "I don't want to scream."
“You don’t call someone younger ‘sister’? You’re a bit too ambitious. Do you want to call me ‘aunt’?” Lu Yan’s mind conjured up some inappropriate images, such as Zhuang Yan calling her “little aunt” while panting. Her face flushed instantly, and she took a small step back, her gaze darting away from Zhuang Yan. She muttered something under her breath.
"It's not impossible."
Zhuang Yan said that he also didn't want to call her aunt.
Seeing a blush creep up Lu Yan's face, he changed the subject and said, "I have to go."
He'll be late if he doesn't leave now; he's a punctual person and doesn't like being late.
Lu Yan looked up at him seriously: "Call me at four o'clock this afternoon to confirm when you're coming back. It would be best if you got home by five. If you're late, I'll have someone else celebrate my birthday with me today. I'll have Ling Xuan take me on the Ferris wheel, have a candlelight dinner tonight, and go see the fireflies."
Zhuang Yan's throat tightened, "Okay."
Lu Yan smiled and suddenly reached out to straighten his collar and the wrinkles in his clothes: "Remember my phone number xxx, got it?"
Lu Yan's phone number is easy to remember; the first string of digits is very similar to his own.
"I've got it."
Lu Yan lowered her hand: "Go."
Zhuang Yan could feel that Lu Yan was watching him from behind. He took a few steps and turned back to look at Lu Yan. Sure enough, he caught the loneliness in her eyes. He waved to her and said, "I will definitely be home on time."
After saying that, Zhuang Yan ran away quickly.
Lu Yan stared blankly at his back. It would be a lie to say she wasn't sad. The thought of Zhuang Yan going on a date with Jiang Ning today made her heart clench uncontrollably. She clutched her chest, and the image of Zhuang Yan's smiling face when he turned around came to mind.
She believed in him; she was sure he would come home on time.
After this incident, she was determined to make sure Zhuang Yan could have a peaceful date with Jiang Ning today. She wanted him to think of her when he was on a date with someone else.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan curled her lips, then went back into the house to change her dress, casually tied her hair into a ponytail, and applied lipstick.
She didn't want to date other men, but she had promised the director not to cause trouble and to follow his rules. So, she decided to just go along with it.
Zhuang Yan arrived at his destination on time and saw Jiang Ning's figure in the distance.
She was holding an umbrella, wearing a schoolgirl-style dress, looking youthful, beautiful, sweet, and charming, as if she had returned to the previous semester.
