Upon hearing this, Shi Hengyu reacted as if he had been electrocuted, abruptly turning his head towards the door.
Sure enough, a petite figure in a beige down jacket was slowly walking towards them.
The figure drew closer and became clearer.
"Xiao Hao, you've grown so tall! And Xiao Yu, you've grown into a handsome young man!"
The person who arrived was Lin Jianglu, who spoke with a beaming smile.
Upon hearing the familiar voice calling his name, Shi Hengyu was first taken aback, then froze on the spot as if under a spell, staring intently at the "Sister Jiang Lu" in front of him.
At this moment, he seemed to have lost the ability to speak, and could only stare blankly at the other person, standing there like a stiff piece of wood.
Lin Jianglu was born with a beautiful face, and now that she has grown up, she has become even more graceful and charming.
Upon closer inspection, Shi Hengyu discovered that she really looked exactly like Mu Liuyun, especially their exquisite facial features, which were almost identical.
However, compared to Mu Liuyun, Lin Jianglu exudes a completely different aura.
In Shi Hengyu's mind, although Mu Liuyun had a beautiful appearance that resembled a man, he could still easily discern the manly nature in his bones from his daily words, actions, and way of dealing with people.
Hmm? Why did I suddenly think of Mu Liuyun at this moment?
"What are you daydreaming about?"
Shi Hengyu's thoughts were interrupted by Long Haochen's low voice. He couldn't help but shake his head inwardly, as if trying to dispel the thoughts in his mind.
Immediately afterwards, he smiled slightly and gave Lin Jianglu a bright and warm smile, as radiant as the spring sun: "Sister Jianglu, you're getting more and more beautiful!"
...
...
In a slightly dilapidated hotel room outside the Northeast Arctic Village, Wang Shirong gripped his phone tightly, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement as he spoke incessantly.
"Xue'er, have you arrived in Jincheng yet?"
He asked eagerly, his voice revealing his concern for the other person.
A pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone: "We've arrived, Brother Shirong. When will you be back?"
The voice belonged to Lin Xuelan, and her words seemed to carry a warm spring breeze, gently touching Wang Shirong's heartstrings.
Wang Shirong hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously turned his head to look at the bed next to him.
Liu Leyao was lying there quietly, wrapped tightly in the blanket, with only her pale and delicate face showing.
Looking at her, Wang Shirong couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness and sigh.
“We…” Wang Shirong said after a moment’s hesitation, but his gaze never left Liu Leyao.
"It may take some time before we can go back."
Lin Xuelan on the other end of the phone didn't seem to notice the strangeness in Wang Shirong's tone and cheerfully replied, "It's okay, Brother Shirong. Anyway, after I come back this time, I'm never leaving again! My ears have fully recovered, and I don't need to go to America for treatment anymore."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shirong's face immediately lit up with a relieved smile, and he repeatedly replied, "Good, good, that's wonderful!"
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and finally Lin Xuelan said sweetly, "Alright, then Brother Shirong, I'll wait for you guys to come back in Jincheng."
Wang Shirong smiled and replied, "Okay, bye-bye."
After saying that, he slowly put down his phone, but the smile on his face was still incredibly bright. He just sat there blankly on the edge of the bed, staring intently at the phone screen, looking as if he was still engrossed in the conversation.
"Coo coo~"
A slight sound came from the soft bed; it turned out that the caterpillar lying on it was hungry.
Upon hearing this voice, Wang Shirong, who had been all smiles, froze on the spot as if he had been frozen in place.
The smile on his face vanished visibly, as if he had been forcibly pulled from a beautiful dream back to the cruel reality.
In his recent dream, the gentle and sweet Lin Xuelan was by his side. Her beautiful face and melodious laughter captivated Wang Shirong, making him unable to extricate himself.
However, when he opened his eyes, all he saw was the troublesome Liu Leyao. This girl was always troublesome and arrogant, a complete contrast to Lin Xuelan in his dream.
"Le Yao, are you hungry? How about I go out and buy you something to eat?"
Wang Shirong suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked in a gentle tone as much as possible.
"..."
But all he received in response was deathly silence. Liu Leyao remained lying quietly on the bed, motionless, without even lifting her eyelids.
Wang Shirong patiently continued to press, "Le Yao, what do you want to eat? Please tell me."
"..."
However, no matter how kindly he tried to persuade her, Liu Leyao remained silent, as if she had become a lifeless corpse.
Upon seeing this, Wang Shirong felt a surge of anger rising within him.
You know, he's always been a good-tempered person, but when faced with someone as stubborn as Liu Leyao, even the best patience would probably be worn out.
After being ruthlessly rejected by Mu Liuyun last night, Liu Leyao began to act so strangely, wrapping herself tightly in the quilt, refusing to eat or drink, and even too lazy to do the most basic washing.
Wang Shirong could hardly imagine what state Liu Leyao would have left the quilt in after such a long time.
If she could just stay quiet, that would be fine, but what if she accidentally farts...
Uh, that scene was too beautiful; Wang Shirong simply dared not think about it any further.
After thinking about some strange things, Wang Shirong calmed down and spoke gently again: "Le Yao, guess who just called me?"
"..."
"It's Xue'er! She's already arrived in Jincheng!"
"And her ears are completely healed now, so we can finally become the complete Lilys again!"
"Xue'er..."
Upon hearing Lin Xuelan's name, Liu Leyao finally reacted and slightly raised her head.
