Lan Yin carefully escorted her back, his expression unchanged, as if he had already forgotten about being rejected.
If it weren't for the seashell in her arms, Yu Wanwan would have even doubted whether everything that happened this afternoon was just a strange, inexplicable dream.
She didn't see Zhong Huai, and Lan Yin didn't say those things to her.
Yu Wanwan was secretly annoyed that she had handled the situation so badly; it was a perfect example of what not to do.
In the following days, Qingxun did not come once, presumably because he knew that she had rejected Lanyin.
As for Lan Yin, he seemed to have completely let go of the past, and continued to come every day, with the two of them communicating and interacting normally.
Even when Yu Wanwan didn't know what to do, he could still gently and understandingly say that they would just be friends from now on and that she shouldn't feel too much pressure.
Unexpectedly, Lan Yin's mindset improved. He became relaxed and gentle, and gradually, Yu Wanwan was able to interact with him normally as before.
Everything seemed to have returned to how it was before. One day after dinner, Yu Wanwan took out a seashell and opened it. Inside was the seashell necklace that Qingxun had once given her.
"Lanyin, could you please return this to Qingxun for me?"
Yu Wanwan really wanted to return it in person, but Qingxun never came, so she had no choice but to ask Lanyin to help her pass it on.
To everyone's surprise, Lan Yin only glanced at it before refusing without hesitation: "No, you should give it to her yourself."
Yu Wanwan put the seashell back and pouted, "But Qingxun hasn't come yet."
She even wondered if it was possible that Qingxun would never come again.
The young female hung her head, clearly looking disappointed.
Lan Yin reached out and patted her head, this time not in a rough, dog-like way, but gently, like water stroking her: "She will come."
Yu Wanwan looked at him: "Really?"
"Really, I assure you."
Lan Yin always keeps his word. He said he would come, and sure enough, Qing Xun arrived the very next day.
At that time, Yu Wanwan was trying to repair the seashell flower. Qingxun went outside the bubble, didn't make a sound, and waited while clutching the hem of her clothes.
Yu Wanwan looked up and saw Qingxun.
"Qingxun, you're here."
Qingxun nodded.
She used to be very happy every time she came, smiling like a flower. This time, however, she wasn't in a very good mood, clearly still remembering that she had rejected Lanyin.
Yu Wanwan didn't want to lose this friend. She could help her and care for her, but there was just no way to help her.
She sighed and took out the seashell necklace: "Qingxun, thank you for the seashell necklace."
Qingxun looked at the necklace, but refused to reach out and take it.
No matter what, she couldn't understand why Yu Wanwan wouldn't accept Lan Yin. Was her standard really that high?
Qingxun took a deep breath and decided to try one more time for her uncle.
