There were some things she didn't tell Lu Chuan, but seeing Lu Chuan's expression at the time, Li Tangyan felt relieved.
Once on the bus, there weren't many people, so she chose a seat towards the back.
The scenery outside the window receded like a rewinding movie, frame by frame, as the car moved at a constant speed.
Suddenly, the music in my headphones stopped abruptly as a familiar phone number popped up on the screen.
Li Tangyan glanced at the name on it and paused for a moment.
As soon as I pressed the connect button, I felt my breathing become rapid.
She cleared her throat, her gaze falling on the reflection of the person in the car window, trying to remain calm: "Hello."
Aside from the sound of a pen tip scratching paper, there was nothing else on the other end of the phone.
Wen Zhaonian's voice sounded somewhat ethereal through the receiver: "It actually went through."
On the other end of the phone, Wen Zhaonian spoke in a completely flat tone, seemingly expressing a sigh.
The teasing tone, seemingly casual, made her ears burn: "I've been away on a business trip for the past few days, and I just had some free time."
"I see..."
As they spoke, they heard the other end of the line draw out the words.
At the same time, there was the soft sound of a chair being pulled out and scraping against the floor.

"It's true what they say, what you can't have is always the best."
"I--"
"A Zhao——"
Li Tangyan's unfinished words were drowned out by a shout that came from the same door opening.
Hearing Zheng Chuan's familiar voice on the other end of the phone, Li Tangyan's hands, which were resting on her knees, curled up and then relaxed.
The blush on her cheeks faded slightly, and her body, which had been unconsciously tense, relaxed as she leaned back in her chair.
As he opened his lips, his speech quickened slightly, as if he had finally found an excuse.
"Zheng Chuanyi needs to talk to you, right? Then we'll talk later."
"bye--"
Before she could even finish saying goodbye, Li Tangyan had already hung up the phone.
Wen Zhaonian stared at the blacked-out screen, his eyes narrowing slightly, his gaze like a stone thrown into a lake, stirring up the still waters.
In an instant, he felt a sense of loss, realizing that he was no longer valuable to Li Tangyan.
