Xiao Wu couldn't understand why there was a phone call that needed to be made today.
But he didn't need to figure it out; he just needed to find a way to help the young lady.
He didn't say a word, turned around and left.
Yun Suiwan did not insist, after all, on this vast sea, who could think of a solution?
Another hour or so passed.
Soon it was time for the meeting she had arranged with him.
She originally planned to arrive at her destination ahead of time.
They might have had a happy ending today.
After experiencing so many misunderstandings and hurts, she was finally willing to put aside all her concerns and be with him.
Perhaps what awaits her ahead is not necessarily something beautiful, nor necessarily something sweet.
But so what?
Even if it's painful, a test, or an ordeal, being with him is happiness.
She is fully prepared to face everything!
But why won't they even give her this chance?
As the year drew to a close, Yun gazed at the distant sea, her eyes stinging with a deep sorrow.
What is he doing right now?
Does he plan to keep the appointment?
Or should he stay by Gu Fanyan's side and take care of her?
"Young Miss!" Xiao Wu's voice brought her back to her senses.
Xiao Wu led her to the ship's bridge.
Lin Zhibai and Shen Xinghui were also there, their expressions filled with surprise.
"Wanwan, your Xiaowu is awesome!" Lin Zhibai clenched his fists excitedly. "He just fiddled around and actually received some signals."
Yun Suiwan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise: "Xiao Wu, how did you do that?"
Xiao Wu scratched his head, "I'm just messing around with it, but it's very unstable..."
He handed his phone to Yun Suiwan, "Miss, try making a call, maybe you can get a signal. But you have to hurry, because the phone is almost out of battery."
His tinkering consumed a lot of electricity.
The cruise ship is not currently running, so it cannot be charged.
"Wanwan, call the maritime rescue company right away," Lin Zhibai urged without hesitation.
“Didn’t you say that Da Wen would arrive by the afternoon at the latest…” Yun Suiwan hesitated.
"Young Master Lin, our young lady isn't in a hurry to call for help!" Xiao Wu dared to speak up for Yun Suiwan in front of anyone.
Lin Zhibai was stunned. What did this mean? Yun Suiwan made the call in a hurry, but it wasn't a rescue call!
"Let's go check on how the equipment room repairs are going."
Shen Xinghui immediately pulled Lin Zhibai away.
Xiao Wu followed along.
Yun Suiwan glanced at them apologetically, but without further hesitation, immediately dialed Lu Dongjue's number.
once.
twice.
three times.
...
My phone only had 2% battery left.
But the phone still couldn't pick up a signal.
Yun Suiwan's nose tingled, and her eyes stung with pain...
Suddenly, the phone beeped.
"Ah!" she exclaimed softly in surprise, as if someone in despair had seen a glimmer of hope.
The call was connected.
“Lu Dongjue, Lu Dongjue, I…” Yun Suiwan spoke impatiently.
"Hello?" A haughty and aloof female voice came from the other end of the phone.
Gu Fanyan's voice.
Instantly, Yun Suiwan felt as if a stone was blocking her throat.
"Is it late in the year?" Gu Fanyan asked. "Do you need to see Dong Jue about something?"
"Dongjue is with me at the hospital for my check-up, so he can't take care of you today."
"If there's anything you need, I can pass it on to you."
Gu Fanyan's tone was just like the way a wife bestows charity upon a concubine in a TV drama.
Yun Suiwan opened her mouth as if she had a thousand words to say, but in the end she only said three words, "No need."
The phone battery is dead.
The world fell completely silent.
There's less than half an hour left until their agreed time.
His phone is still in Gu Fanyan's hands.
I guess he didn't plan to keep the appointment.
"Young Miss, Young Miss..."
"Young Miss, why are you crying..."
"Miss, is the call not going through? Don't worry, I'll think of something else."
Xiao Wu's voice broke the deathly silence.
Yun Suiwan came to her senses, turned her face away and wiped away her tears, "I'm fine, let's not make the call, let's find a way to get out of here."
...
"Someone called me?"
When Lu Dongjue returned with the test results, he saw Gu Fanyan holding his phone.
Before he went to get the results, Gu Fanyan said she was cold and asked him to take off his coat and lend it to her.
He had no choice but to comply with this request.
But wasn't it going too far to take his phone from his coat pocket?
“You’re back,” Gu Fanyan smiled slightly and handed him her phone. “A strange number called just now, and I answered it for you, but the other person hung up after only a few words.”
Her gaze was open and pure, revealing no trace of concealment.
Lu Dongjue answered the phone and remained silent.
Gu Fanyan tilted her head to look at him: "Are you angry? Can't I touch your phone?"
Lu Dongjue replied, "It's best not to touch it."
Gu Fanyan looked a little embarrassed.
She thought that by deliberately pointing it out, she would get a polite response from Lu Dongjue.
I didn't expect him to be so shameless.
“Dongjue,” she smiled, her gaze icy, “it’s not right for you to joke with a patient like that.”
Lu Dongjue frowned. "You... continue the examination."
He continued to be patient, considering that she was still ill.
The following examination would take a long time. Before going in, Gu Fanyan specifically said, "Dongjue, don't go too far. I need to take my medicine on time and drink water."
Lu Dongjue agreed.
But she was still worried.
During the examination, I asked the nurses for help several times to get medicine, water, or food from Lu Dongjue.
"Is my boyfriend waiting for me outside?" she asked.
"He just stood there, not moving an inch," the nurse joked. "Where did you find such a great boyfriend?"
Gu Fanyan smiled faintly.
As long as she stays outside, she doesn't care whether it's good or bad.
The checkup is finally finished.
She glanced at the time and decided to have Lu Dongjue take her home later; that would be about the end of the day.
She walked out of the examination room, looked up at the figure in the corridor, and her expression changed slightly.
Just then, her phone rang.
It was Huo Beichen calling.
"What's the situation on your end?" Huo Beichen asked.
"Lu Dongjue... seems to have left." Gu Fanyan's temple throbbed.
The person in the hallway is wearing a coat.
But Lu Dongjue's coat was clearly with her.
At this moment, the man turned around and bowed respectfully to her, "Miss Gu."
Gu Fanyan said with certainty into the phone, "He really is gone."
She had barely stepped into the examination room when Lu Dongjue left.
He summoned a subordinate to guard the place, to deliver water and medicine.
Gu Fanyan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on; he and Yun Suiwan were really having a hard time getting to each other.
But it's okay.
"Don't worry," Gu Fanyan said as she walked away with the phone in her hand. "If he doesn't go, it will hurt Yun Suiwan. But if he does go, he'll be the one who gets hurt."
He would sit there, waiting for someone who would never show up today.
No matter what he thinks he will get, all he will get is disappointment.
