Xu Yanfeng paused, slowly closed the back door, stood up and looked at Ling Yan.
She was holding a light blue bag in each hand, which she placed neatly in front of her. The smile on her face was a bit flattering and tentative. She thought she had hidden it well, but Xu Yanfeng saw it all.
At this moment, he thought of another face, it was Xia Xi. She appeared outside the glass door. The light from the hall shone through and fell on her face, illuminating a bright smile, so warm that it made people ignore her bright features for a moment and only remember her smile.
"Afeng?"
He didn't speak for a long time. The smile on Ling Yan's lips faded a little, but she was still stubborn and refused to say "If it's inconvenient, forget it."
She had never wanted a bouquet of flowers so badly.
"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't give it to you." After saying this, Xu Yanfeng didn't give her time to react. He walked around from the front of the car to the other side and opened the driver's door.
Lingyan was left there, unable to accept it for a moment. She felt so sad that she even forgot to put away her smile. It just stayed there, awkward and ugly. She was clearly smiling, but it looked like she was crying.
Xu Yanfeng started the engine and saw Ling Yan still standing beside the car, not moving. He lowered the passenger window, tilted his head slightly, and said calmly, "Do you want to go?"
Ling Yan woke up as if from a dream, her lips were pursed straight, and her fingers holding the bag strap tightened. She turned around, opened the passenger door, sat in, glanced at Xu Yanfeng's cold profile, pulled out the seat belt and buckled it on herself.
Xu Yanfeng stepped on the accelerator without saying a word and drove out of the parking lot.
Ling Yan looked at the rapidly receding street scene outside the window, and then looked at Xu Yanfeng with a stern face. Her heart could not calm down at all, and her mind was filled with all kinds of random thoughts.
Who sent that unique bouquet of roses?
Why does Xu Yanfeng cherish it so much?
She asked for it, but he refused to give it to her. Is it because the person who gave him the rose is very important to him?
Could it be sent by the person who called him before?
It seems to be called "Only Love XYF"...
She guessed the meaning of the nickname at a glance, and Xu Yanfeng would have guessed it, but he actually allowed others to give her such an ambiguous nickname. What does it mean?
Ling Yan's mind was about to explode, her breathing and heartbeat were a mess. She wanted to ask Xu Yanfeng directly, but she also knew that if Xu Yanfeng didn't want to say anything, she would have no way to deal with him.
Tang Yizhou and the others couldn't get the answer, let alone her?
Ling Yan had a headache, palpitations, and chest tightness, and suffered all the way. When they were almost home, the car slowed down. Xu Yanfeng parked the car outside the gate of the Ling family villa and slowly opened the door. He did not go in, but put his hands on the steering wheel, waiting for Ling Yan to get out of the car.
Ling Yan was slow to move, so Xu Yanfeng glanced at her.
She adjusted her breathing rhythm and asked as calmly as possible: "Do you... do you have someone you like?" She frowned and looked at him nervously, afraid to hear a positive answer from him.
Xu Yanfeng never reveals his true feelings to others easily. Upon hearing this, he casually threw back the question: "Why do you say that?"
"No?" Ling Yan raised her eyes slightly and looked through the rearview mirror at the roses carefully placed in the back seat. "The person who called you in the compartment before should be a girl. She was the one who gave you the roses, right? If you didn't like her, how could you value her gift?"
She thought she had spoken bluntly enough.
Xu Yanfeng tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips and avoided her topic: "You should get out of the car."
Ling Yan's eyes suddenly turned red without warning. Not wanting to be seen by him, she quickly turned her back to him with the back of her head. She hurriedly unlocked the seat belt, pushed open the car door and got out, forgetting to close it for him as she ran into the villa.
How could he fall in love with someone else!
No, no, she was overthinking it.
Ling Yan kept hypnotizing herself, but she never doubted that the person was Xia Xi. Her understanding of Xia Xi still remained on that night when she waited in the South Square to confess her love to Xu Yanfeng, but Xu Yanfeng never showed up.
From then on, she didn't pay much attention to Xia Xi's movements, thinking that no matter how much she pestered him, it would be in vain and Xu Yanfeng would not be won by her.
*
Xu Yanfeng arrived home safely. His parents had already gone to bed. Because today was a special day, the house was as bright as day. He did not take the elevator and went upstairs quietly. He entered his bedroom and casually put the car keys on the table.
He lowered his eyes, looking at the rose he held in his arms. If he didn't take care of it, it would wither. With an indescribable resignation, he searched through the boxes and drawers for an empty vase.
He usually lives in the school and the apartment, and doesn't spend much time here. His things are all packed by the nanny at home. After a long time of searching, his eyes fell on the white porcelain vase with the snow willow on the table.
This vase of flowers was also put in by the nanny.
Xu Yanfeng took the snow willow out of the vase. Having no place to put it, he stretched out his foot to get a trash can, threw it in without mercy, and put the rose in his hand into the vase.
The flower branches have not been cared for and are much taller than the vase. They look a bit messy and sloppy, with a sense of "wild growth".
After looking at it for a long time, Xu Yanfeng couldn't help but twitching his lip. This flower is quite similar to Xia Xi, with an unruly look, wild and free, passionate and unrestrained, and quite... beautiful.
Thinking of Xia Xi, Xu Yanfeng glanced at his phone and swiped his finger across the chat box between the two of them, but no message appeared.
He opened the ticket purchasing software and entered Nancheng to Ganlin. Several train information popped up. Based on the time Xia Xi left, he guessed which train she bought and calculated that she should have arrived at her destination.
