The albums Yanbo sent over contained many songs that Xiaohuai liked, so he simply took them to listen to in the car. The driver, Brother Yang, who always listened to patriotic songs, found these slightly upbeat rock songs a bit hard to accept.
"Young Miss, where did you find these CDs?"
"Young Master Yan lent it to me, please keep it safe and don't let it spoil!"
Although Tong Xiaohuai herself wasn't a fan of celebrities, she knew of a type of fanatic who would carefully collect all of their idol's CDs and related posters. Tong Xiaohuai didn't know if Yan Bo was this kind of fanatic, but she was certain that she would cherish all of his things.
"Young Miss, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Brother Yang is a discerning man. Right now, this Third Young Master Yan is favored by the eldest young lady, the eldest brother, and his sister-in-law. Perhaps, in the future, the Tong family will be managed by this Third Young Master. Of course, he cannot be offended.
After Yanbo brought breakfast and CDs over that day, Yanbo and Tong Xiaohuai didn't see each other for several days.
Firstly, Tong Xiaohuai was busy, and secondly, she needed to stay home with her parents. Most importantly, Yan Bo had gone on a business trip on Tuesday afternoon and wouldn't be back until Friday evening.
Tong Xiaohuai really missed Yan Bo after not seeing him for several days.
So on Friday afternoon, she was somewhat distracted throughout her classes.
I kept thinking about whether I should call Yanbo later to ask when he would be back, and if it wasn't too late, whether I should go out to meet him.
In the afternoon class, Tong Xiaohuai happened to be in the same class as Zeng Xianghuai and Xiao Mi. Tong Xiaohuai sat in the middle, Zeng Xianghuai was taking notes seriously, and Xiao Mi listened to the class for a while. When she saw that Tong Xiaohuai was daydreaming, she poked her arm with her pen.
"Hey, what's wrong? Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"
Tong Xiaohuai shook his head.
"Why do you look half-dead?" Xiaomi whispered as she leaned closer, carefully examining her face.
“He’s away on a business trip… for several days now…” Tong Xiaohuai replied sullenly.
"Tsk tsk, this display of affection caught me completely off guard!"
Xiaomi hummed twice and turned her head back to look at the blackboard.
However, her gossipy nature ultimately prevailed. After a while, Xiaomi nudged Tong Xiaohuai again, "How did things go with the thing about seeing his brother last time?"
Tong Xiaohuai was stunned for a moment. To be honest, she had been anxious about it for two days before completely forgetting about it.
It seems I'm really carefree!
"I don't know, he didn't say!" Tong Xiaohuai shook her head, scribbling circles on her notebook with her pen.
Xiaomi rolled her eyes. "You're not stupid. Can't you tell whether her brother likes you or not?"
The mention of this matter made Tong Xiaohuai feel a bit flustered, so she drew more and more circles, making her eyes dizzy.
"I don't think his brother has anything to do with me, but he probably likes me quite a bit..."
Tong Xiaohuai recalled that although Yan Yuanren was serious, when he smiled at her, it was a genuine smile, unlike the cunning people whose smiles were disgusting.
Even so, she still felt that there were probably some flaws in her that Yan Yuan couldn't accept.
Could it be that she is too young and Yan Yuan thinks she and Yan Bo are unreliable?
Or is it because of her family background that she doesn't like her? But that doesn't seem like it, since Yan Yuan was always very respectful and polite to his parents back then.
It can only be said that someone as cunning as Yan Yuan is simply beyond the comprehension of someone like Tong Xiaohuai.
"If you like it, that's fine! Don't overthink it. But even if you don't like it, it's okay. You're living with your boyfriend, not his older brother, right?"
Xiaomi's words coincided with Tong Xiaohuai's own words of comfort.
The conversation with Xiaomi stirred up the waters in Tong Xiaohuai's heart. Although she said that relationships were a matter between two people, it was impossible for her not to care at all.
After school, she finally couldn't resist and dialed Yanbo's number.
The phone was answered after ringing twice, and all that could be heard was Yan Bo's voice and the sounds of a bustling crowd.
"Xiao Huai, I'm going through security now. My flight back to L City is at six o'clock."
Tong Xiaohuai's previously chaotic heart suddenly calmed down, whether because of his voice or the fact that he was about to return.
"When will the flight arrive in L City? I'll come pick you up."
Tong Xiaohuai, who had been sitting upright in the car, now felt at ease and relaxed, leaning back and reclining on the back seat.
"No need, I can take a taxi back myself. You stay at home and I'll come over to your house to meet you tomorrow morning."
Yan Bo's voice was very gentle, yet it conveyed an undeniable firmness.
But Tong Xiaohuai is a person who, once she has made up her mind, no one can persuade her otherwise.
As a result, the flight landed half an hour later than scheduled. Yanbo went to the baggage claim area to collect his luggage, and by the time he dragged it out of the gate, it was already past 10 p.m.
Not far away, someone was waving, but Yan Bo ignored it because he was eager to get home, take a shower, and then call Tong Xiaohuai.
Even just hearing her voice was better than nothing, and it eased his longing for her for a while. Just a little longer, and tomorrow he could see her, touch her!
"Hey, you..." Yan Bo, who was dragging his luggage and walking faster and faster, almost couldn't stop and bumped into someone who suddenly appeared.
Before he could finish his question, he was punched in the chest, and a familiar voice pierced his ears, "Yan Bo, are you blind?"
Yan Bo glanced down and saw the girl blocking his way, glaring at him angrily. Who else could it be but the girl he had been longing for day and night?
"Xiao Huai? What are you doing here?" He looked at the person in front of him with surprise, and before he could even think, his hand had already pulled the person into his arms.
Tong Xiaohuai lifted her head from his arms, rolled her eyes at him angrily, and said, "I came to pick you up. I waved until my arms almost broke, and you didn't even look at me. Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated? Or are you in a rush to see someone?"
Tong Xiaohuai was a little angry. She pushed most of the blame onto Uncle Ming, just so she could see him sooner.
He said we'd meet up early tomorrow morning, but she'd been waiting for days and couldn't wait until tomorrow!
But he seemed different from her. He seemed to have something more important than meeting her. As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he strode towards the exit without looking to the side, completely ignoring his girlfriend who wanted to give him a surprise!
Yanbo felt her chest rising and falling, and seeing her pouting, he figured she was quite angry.
He lowered his head and gently stroked her forehead and face with his lips, coaxing her softly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to come pick me up. I was just in a hurry to get home to call you."
