Zheng Wan got goosebumps and quickly handed the tissue to Lu Yuan, saying, "A real man shouldn't cry so easily!"
Although he was drunk, he still listened to Zheng Wan and closed his eyes to go to sleep.
Zheng Wan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly drove home.
Around 8 p.m., the two arrived home safely. Lu Yuan had been very quiet the whole way, not even opening his eyes.
He was so tall that she couldn't move him herself, so Zheng Wan thought she would get out of the car first and call Cheng Ye out to help her move him.
As soon as she unbuckled her seatbelt, the person next to her suddenly reached out and grabbed her.
Zheng Wan's heart skipped a beat. "Holy crap! You scared me to death!"
"Don't go yet." Lu Yuan pulled the plastic bag off his face and tried hard to sit up. "I still have something to tell you."
He had difficulty even sitting up straight. Zheng Wan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you talk to me tomorrow? You're too drunk right now, you probably can't explain it clearly."
As she spoke, she reached for Lu Yuan's seatbelt, saying, "Let's go, I'll help you back to rest."
But Lu Yuan held her hand down. "You have to say it today, otherwise I don't know if I'll ever say it."
Since he insisted, Zheng Wan couldn't argue with him anymore. She leaned back in her chair and said, "Then you go ahead and tell me. I'm all ears."
Seeing that she had stopped, Lu Yuan began to move. He picked up his backpack from under his feet and handed his wallet to Zheng Wan.
Zheng Wan looked confused, then asked, looking at her wallet, "What do you want me to buy for you?"
Lu Yuan shook his head. "There are two cards inside. They contain my savings from the past few years. The amount of money in each card is the same. Now that you're opening a shop, you'll need money everywhere. Although it's not much, it's better than nothing. Just take one and use it. The password is..."
After all that, it turned out he wanted to lend her money. Zheng Wan was instantly moved.
She patted Lu Yuan's arm. "Oh my god, you're so kind, but I can't take this money. You've worked hard these past few years, and you still have a family to support in the future. You should keep it for yourself. I have money, and my sisters have also helped me out, so it's alright."
Lu Yuan ignored him completely. He insisted on taking out the card and stuffing it into Zheng Wan's hand. "It was originally for you, so just keep it. It'll make me feel... better."
These words left Zheng Wan completely bewildered. What did she mean by "it was originally meant for you"?
Emboldened by alcohol, Lu Yuan looked down at his wallet and said, "Senior, I like you. I've liked you since freshman year."
After all these years, the truth has finally come out.
Zheng Wan felt her heart skip a beat. She looked at Lu Yuan, whose head was bowed, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
She raised her hand and touched Lu Yuan's head. "I...I actually know everything."
Lu Yuan's eyes reddened again. He looked up at Zheng Wan, his eyes filled with questions.
Zheng Wan withdrew her hand and said, "At first I thought you were just having a passing fancy, that you were just starting out in college and were looking for something new, and that you would forget about it sooner or later."
"Then the disaster happened, and I realized it was because we were together every day that you liked it. As you meet more people in the future..."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath. "And now?"
Zheng Wan looked at the card and said, "Later I realized you seemed to be serious, and I started to feel guilty. I wanted to avoid you. I felt like a bastard, making wild guesses about others for so many years without them saying anything."
Zheng Wan felt so nervous she was about to throw up. She tugged at her hair and said sorry.
Lu Yuan felt like his brain was completely scrambled, but he still believed it was his problem.
"It's all my fault. I haven't dared to confess all these years, leaving you to guess."
Zheng Wan covered her eyes. "How can I blame only you? We're all at fault in this matter."
She lowered her hand and said self-deprecatingly, "One of us is too afraid to confess, and the other is too afraid to admit the other's love. We... are both so pathetic."
Lu Yuan, sitting in the passenger seat, rubbed his eyes; he was at a loss for words.
With his mind racing and the alcohol taking effect, he actually unbuckled his seatbelt. By the time he realized it, he had already grabbed Zheng Wan's shoulder.
The distance between the two instantly closed, and Lu Yuan could even feel Zheng Wan's breathing.
He desperately wanted to kiss her without a second thought, but when his vision cleared, he saw the panic on Zheng Wan's face.
Lu Yuan immediately let go of his hand, creating distance between them.
He panicked himself, "I'm sorry, I just had a fit of madness."
Zheng Wan just stared at him, as if she was thinking about something.
Lu Yuan was terrified by the silence. He dared not look at Zheng Wan, afraid to see the disappointment and fear in her eyes.
The car was so quiet it felt like it was frozen in time. Lu Yuan couldn't take it anymore; he just wanted to escape.
His hand was already on the car door, but Zheng Wan pulled him back.
Zheng Wan practically stepped over, staring intently at Lu Yuan's face as she said, "I want to confirm my feelings."
Lu Yuan didn't understand what she meant. Just as he was about to ask, Zheng Wan kissed him directly.
Lu Yuan's brain kept reminding him to push Zheng Wan away, but his body involuntarily hugged her.
After the kiss, his breathing became erratic. "You...you're confirming your feelings?"
Zheng Wan tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and nodded with a very confident air.
Lu Yuan cautiously raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Wan, asking, "So... are you sure now?"
Zheng Wan touched his face. "If I wasn't sure, I would have abandoned the car and run away by now."
She sat back down in her seat. "I did this not because you gave me the card, or because I felt guilty. I just wanted to be sure of my own heart. I wanted to be sure that I love you too, not for any other reason."
Lu Yuan shook his head indifferently. He took Zheng Wan's hand and said, "I don't care about any of this. If you love my money, I can give it all to you. If it's because of guilt, then you can spend your whole life feeling guilty."
Lu Yuan choked up just saying this.
He lifted Zheng Wan's hand, kissed it gently, and then pressed it against his face. "Of course, if it's because of love, that would be even better."
Just as Zheng Wan was about to say something comforting, Shen Lingfeng's big face suddenly appeared outside the car window.
Zheng Wan was startled and screamed as she shrank back.
Like an old man on night patrol, Shen Lingfeng shone a flashlight inside, saying, "What are you doing? You're home now and you're still stuck in the car? Don't you miss your brother here?"
Lu Yuan, whose emotions were just beginning to build up, was interrupted: "..."
Lu Yuan was so angry that he sobered up completely. He opened the car door, got out, and hugged his best friend tightly. "Do you think the police will find out if I bury you underground right now?"
Shen Lingfeng: "..." Why is he so resentful? Did I do something wrong?
