Chapter 64: On the way
Dormitory 103 in November was filled with the word "on the way".
Yi Wan would occasionally drop by the girls' dormitory to deliver milk tea, stay for a while, and then stroll away. At one point, the dormitory manager mistook him for a delivery boy from the milk tea shop.
After the last incident in the auditorium, Yi Wan was a little depressed, but soon felt that it was not a big problem.
It's not uncommon for the girl you like to have someone she likes. Dating isn't a game of connect-the-dots where if someone gets the right match, you're eliminated.
With the mentality that unrequited love is also love, Yi Wan did not give up his feelings for Chen Wan. He told himself that as long as he did not disturb her, it would be fine.
To him, Chen Wan is like an unpopular game. There is no mature strategy theory. All he has to do is crack it step by step.
Even if you can't beat the game, you can still enjoy the fun in the game.
The second person who frequently stops by is Lin Yu.
Even though the Criminal Investigation Bureau was three blocks away from Minzu University, he could still casually "drop by" to see Chen Wan's "study life."
Autumn in the north is dry and cold. By November, you can no longer see falling leaves, and the only thing you can see is the azure blue sky.
Lin Yu stood under the towering ginkgo tree, holding two cans of hot milk, looking up and counting the scattered dead leaves among the branches to pass the time.
Chen Wan walked over with a book in his arms and saw the bored Lin Yu.
He tilted his head, looking at something unclear, standing tall in the sunlight, his clear features softly outlined in shadows. The undulating Adam's apple, the smooth lines of his profile, and those slightly narrowed, drooping eyes—Chen Wan wanted to possess them all.
What she liked most was the moment when he looked at her when she pronounced the name Lin Yu, with the corners of his eyes drooping and a faint light in his dark pupils, gentler than an autumn lake.
"Wanzi, what a coincidence." He saw Chen Wan, naturally took the information book from her hand, and then stuffed the hot milk into her hand.
When the fingertips touch each other, the warm feeling transfers to the heart.
Chen Wan took the warm milk and said thank you to him with a smile.
"It's okay, I just stopped by to see you." Lin Yu waved his hand disapprovingly and said casually, "Actually, Minzu University and our police station are quite close."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wan curled the corners of her lips, but did not point out his little trick.
She held the milk until her fingers became warm, then she held Lin Yu's hand.
Chen Wan felt that Lin Yu must have been waiting for quite a while. The back of his hand was a little cold, and the joints were slightly red.
"Warm your hands too," she said softly.
After a brief hesitation, he returned Chen Wan's hand and put it in his pocket. Pretending to be calm, he said, "I heard there's a new pizza restaurant on Huaibei Road. Let's go try it."
When they were in Nancheng, Chen Wan cooked for him. When they arrived in Linbei, as the host, Lin Yu thought that he should take Chen Wan out for a meal.
The two walked to the school gate. Just as Lin Yu was about to take out his car keys, he received a call from a colleague from the traffic police team, saying that he had parked illegally for too long and his car had been towed away.
Chen Wan, who was standing next to him, listened to the whole thing and held back her laughter for a long time. Seeing Lin Yu's unhappy look, she reached out and patted his shoulder, "It's okay. Remember to watch the road next time you stop by."
Lin Yu: “…”
Fortunately, Huaibei Road is not far from Minzu University, just behind the university town, which is both prosperous and retro.
The shortcut that Lin Yu took Chen Wan through the old park passed by a shimmering lake.
The dark green lake reflected the fading shadows of trees, painting a picture of late autumn. Two gray migratory birds flew across the lake together, leaving ripples on the surface.
This ordinary scene made Chen Wan feel very happy. Migrant birds travel together, pursuing a warm journey.
Lin Yu held her hand and walked slowly, looking down at Chen Wan from time to time. When their eyes met, he smiled foolishly.
He said that in winter, the park would be very busy, especially in the morning, when many people would come here to skate.
"You can ride an ice bike, put a small seat on the back, and I'll take you for a ride while you sit and eat candied haws." Lin Yu grinned at her and said excitedly, "That's what we call cool!"
Chen Wan is from the south. Although he has seen snow, the snow in the south melts quickly, leaving only the dampness and coldness.
She was very much looking forward to ice skating as Lin Yu mentioned it, and nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
The two held hands and naturally decided on their future.
When they arrived at the pizza shop, it was crowded because it was newly opened, so Lin Yu and Chen Wan were arranged to sit near the bar.
After the two of them placed their orders, they chatted aimlessly about work and study. The bar became noisy and cramped as customers continued to arrive. Lin Yu's ears were filled with the sound of customers talking and the names of the menu.
When Lin Yu was feeling helpless, someone patted his shoulder and a female voice sounded behind him, "Handsome guy, can you lend me a light?"
Although she was borrowing something, there was a hint of arrogance in her tone. Lin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at the person asking the question.
She was a young and beautiful woman with a pair of slightly upturned almond-shaped eyes, which looked both gentle and flirtatious, as if she was smiling but not smiling.
Although her makeup was very delicate this time, her facial features didn't change much, and Lin Yu quickly recognized who she was.
Zheng Yunqing, a drug trafficking suspect who has close ties and ambiguous relationships with high-ranking officials.
She held a long, thin cigarette between her fingers and raised her eyebrows at Lin Yu, "You don't smoke?"
The last interrogation was just a formality, and Lin Yu has been brooding over it ever since.
His intuition told him that there were many suspicious points about Zheng Yunqing. If he could find the flaws, he should be able to implicate Tang Ze who was hiding in the dark.
Lin Yu, lost in thought, did not answer Zheng Yunqing's question in time, but just observed her words and actions silently.
Chen Wan also followed his gaze, and after seeing Zheng Yunqing's appearance clearly, her eyes became a little colder.
"I don't smoke." After Lin Yu said that, he looked away and stopped looking at her, wondering whether Wang Chuanhe would show up.
After getting the answer, Zheng Yunqing smiled indifferently and asked a man passing by. His slender figure was soon covered by the crowd.
During the meal, Chen Wan noticed that Lin Yu was distracted. She put down her cutlery and looked at him gravely, "Are you still savoring the meal?"
Lin Yu took a sip of lemonade and thought she was talking about the taste of pizza, so he casually replied, "It tastes okay."
"Is that so?" Chen Wan nodded, trying her best to control her annoyance, and poked the pizza on Lin Yu's plate with her fork.
Lin Yu slowly realized her unhappiness, thought about the conversation just now, was choked, and quickly waved his hands, "No, no, Wanzi, I mean the pizza is okay!"
Chen Wan was slowly cutting the pizza with a knife and fork. Upon hearing this, she slowly raised her eyes to look at him. "Really? Didn't you say that the girl just now was okay?"
When she thought about how Lin Yu had stared at the girl for several minutes, she exerted a little force with the knife and fork in her hand, making a slight but sharp scratching sound on the white porcelain plate.
Lin Yu swallowed silently, coughed twice, and hurriedly began to explain, "Wanzi, you misunderstood me. The man just now was a suspect in a previous drug case. I only took a second look at him."
With two eyes, Chen Wan put the tip of his tongue against the rabbit teeth and hummed softly, staring for a long time.
"That was my scrutinizing gaze, completely free of personal feelings." Lin Yu reached out and held her wrist, revealing an innocent smile, his eyes full of sincerity, "Wanzi, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry." Chen Wan pushed the plate in front of him, his eyes fell on Lin Yu's bony hands, and said calmly, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Lin Yu could only withdraw his hand awkwardly, "Okay."
After Chen Wan left, he propped up his head and thought about what went wrong, but then he found it interesting. Seeing Chen Wan's duplicity, he was actually delighted.
At least she gets angry now, and no longer keeps everything in her heart like before. Now she is becoming more and more real.
"But what is she angry about?" Lin Yu scratched his hair, feeling a little distressed.
After taking a sip of lemonade, I gasped at the sour taste, and my thoughts instantly became clear: "Wanzi is jealous."
After coming to this conclusion, he felt that the sound of Chen Wan cutting the knife and fork just now was particularly pleasant, and he felt very happy.
Even though he was angry, he still cut the pizza for him. Lin Yu felt that he was so happy.
"But I still have to coax her first." Lin Yu took out his phone and started searching "How to coax my girlfriend when she's angry."
The word "girlfriend" brought him a strange sweet feeling. He touched his chin and suddenly realized something.
Chen Wan has not given him a formal status yet, and he is not her nominal boyfriend yet.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu wilted. His fingers slowly slid down, casually browsing the tips for coaxing a girlfriend. The interactions and experiences between couples made his nose sore.
He looked at the direction where Chen Wan left and secretly made up his mind that he had to get a status as soon as possible.
Otherwise, there is no guarantee that the next Yi Qianyi Wan will not appear.
Thinking of the photo, he took another sip of water to calm his awkward mood. Thinking of this, he felt that he should ask a love expert for some experience.
