Chapter 88
That evening, Jin Chaoyang called his father, who was on a business trip in Southeast Asia.
Jin Chaoyang was not used to the sudden appearance of relatives, but fortunately they didn't have any demands on her, so she was happy to let things take their course.
The man on the other end didn't seem to expect to receive a call from his eldest daughter, but when he heard that his two children were talking about going abroad, Mr. Jin hesitated for a moment.
"While I have no objections, I still need to discuss it with your mothers first..."
It was only natural to discuss it with his parents, and Jin Chaoyang immediately agreed with a smile. It wasn't convenient to talk too much on a long-distance call, so after exchanging a few more greetings, the family hung up.
"Your father has already agreed, so it seems there shouldn't be any problems."
In just one day, Ran Xian seemed to have become part of the family. He wandered around the house very comfortably and even insisted on coming over to listen to Jin Chaoyang's phone call.
Jin Chuwan was not so optimistic, "...In our family, it's all up to Mom. If Mom doesn't like it, Dad's agreement is useless."
"?"
These words caused both Jin Chaoyang and Ran Xian to show expressions of surprise.
Jin Chuwan glanced at Ran Xian, then raised her hand to push away Jin Chaoyang who was leaning closer.
"Stop making that silly face all the time..."
Jin Chaoyang, who had been pushed away, chuckled and leaned back in, "What? Who are you calling stupid? I've only been home for a few days, it's perfectly normal that I don't know..."
Ran Xian roughly knew about Jin Chaoyang's identity, and he looked at the two people in front of him with curiosity.
"Are you really sisters? You don't look alike at all..."
Jin Chuwan sighed helplessly: "Because Chaoyang looks like Mom, and I look like Dad. Do you think everyone wants you and Ranmin? Twins do look remarkably alike..."
"I was just asking casually, why are you making such a fuss..."
Jin Chaoyang rested her chin on her hand and listened to their conversation. It was amazing that the characters from her book could come to life right before her eyes. She blinked and then looked at Ran Xian.
"Are you and your sister twins? Do you have any photos? I'd like to see them!"
Ran Min was actually just a villainous character she wrote casually, so apart from being willful and capricious, she didn't describe her much else. But looking at Ran Xian's face, Ran Min was obviously also extremely beautiful.
Ran Xian looked somewhat troubled. He never used his phone to take pictures, partly because he didn't like it, and partly because he really disliked the pixel quality of mobile phones.
It simply doesn't showcase his handsomeness.
"I don't have it, but you should have it on your phone."
Ran Xian turned to look at Jin Chuwan. He remembered that Ran Min had taken several pictures of her with her phone when they graduated.
These words clearly reminded Jin Chuwan, and she lowered her head to look through her phone's photo album.
Actually, she rarely takes photos, mainly because the memory of mobile phones these days is too small, making them not very interesting to use.
An old-fashioned flip phone, when opened, automatically plays a short GJF cartoon animation. Jin Chuwan always thought she hadn't taken many pictures, but unexpectedly found a whole bunch...
It seems none of the photos were taken by her.
Jin Chuwan was stunned for a moment. Apart from the two selfies that Ran Min had taken with her phone, most of the rest were photos of two people.
Or perhaps it could be considered a couple's photo.
It seems someone secretly took the photos with her phone when she wasn't looking. Because she almost never looks at the camera in the photos, and the other person mostly only shows part of their body.
There were hands resting on her head in an off-center manner, as well as half of her chin or a section of her shoulder.
Jin Chuwan paused, quickly scrolling through the photos, trying to pretend she hadn't seen them, but the sudden silence in the room indicated that they had both noticed them.
"Who took this with your phone? The optical illusions are quite cleverly done..."
Jin Chaoyang chuckled dryly. Well, although she hadn't met him many times, only a few scattered glimpses, she could roughly guess who he was.
It's because her male lead is so memorable.
Ran Xian took Jin Chuwan's phone and looked at it several times. His gaze was indifferent, as if he didn't care about these pictures.
"Golden Night".
The sudden sound puzzled Jin Chuwan, but as she turned her head, she heard a "click".
Ran Xian was taking a selfie, and he even brought her along.
She sighed helplessly, but did not stop it.
It's normal for friends to spontaneously take a photo, but with her hair all messy, I wonder what the result will be. However, Ran Xian is using her phone, so if it looks bad, she can delete it herself later.
Ran Xian didn't notice Jin Chuwan's sigh. He quickly tapped the album to open it and then showed a satisfied expression.
The pixels were blurry, but the outlines of the two people were still relatively clear. She turned to the side in a daze, while he raised his head and chuckled.
It seems pretty good.
Ran Xian found his email address and clicked send.
"Don't send it..."
When Jin Chuwan saw Ran Xian's action, she immediately reached out to grab it, but Ran Xian suddenly raised his phone, taking advantage of his height, making it impossible for Jin Chuwan to grab it.
A chase suddenly broke out in the cramped room.
Then the two started arguing about whether it was polite to secretly take unflattering photos of a friend.
At some point during this period, Jin Chaoyang felt that she suddenly shone brightly in the world, just like her name.
Embarrassment, silence, and astonishment flashed across her beautiful face, eventually evolving into a kind of defeated, gloomy expression.
"Oh……"
What? Who doesn't have a partner these days?
She can get her baby to fly over from the coastline with just one phone call!
hateful!
--
The following time suddenly flew by, and Ran Xian would come to Jin Chuwan almost every day to ask for some materials or something.
He always seemed indifferent to everything. If he thought of something, he would just ask her where she was, whether it was the cafeteria or the teaching building, and he would rush over quickly.
However, he also remembered Jin Chaoyang's words and always called Jin Chuwan out to talk.
Within just a few days, rumors began circulating in the classmates' group about her and Ran Xian's ambiguous relationship.
Kim Cho-wan thought about their contract and felt there was no need to explain it.
Anyway, if all goes well, she'll be leaving soon. A few days ago, her father called and said that her mother had no objections, but just told her to be careful and keep in touch.
Upon receiving the news, Ran Xian seemed to act even faster, saying he would set off in a month.
Destination: London, UK.
Jin Chuwan stared blankly at the gold lettering on the materials for a moment.
University College London.
The future that once seemed so distant is now suddenly right before her eyes. She still feels it's unreal, but she can't help but feel happy.
As Jin Chuwan continued reviewing the materials, her phone rang again.
It was Ran Xian calling.
Jin Chu answered the call and put the phone to her ear.
It was noisy on Ran Xian's end, as if there were many people, but he looked like a thief and whispered into the phone, "You haven't forgotten the banquet I told you about before, have you? I'll pick you up tomorrow at noon. Remember to wait for me at home."
Jin Chuwan was stunned for a moment. She thought for a moment before finally remembering the matter, but before she could answer, Ran Xian hung up the phone.
It seemed like her phone had been stolen. Jin Chuwan heard a few "Who is it? Who is it?" and then the sound disappeared.
She listened to the dial tone and put down her phone, puzzled.
It was drizzling outside. The weather was getting cooler day by day after autumn began, but it wasn't time to add clothes yet; it was just a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings.
Jin Chuwan was reading on the bed, wrapped in a blanket. It was just past seven o'clock, but it was already getting dark. She glanced out the window; a few days ago at this time there was still the glow of the setting sun, but now it was bright with neon lights.
We should probably prepare some warm clothes for her when she sets off.
Jin Chuwan got out of bed, thinking that there was still hot water boiling in the kitchen. Her stomach was a little upset today, and she wanted to rest with a hot water bottle. But after turning off the stove, she realized that there was no hot water bottle at home.
Jin Chuwan had no choice but to put on her clothes and go out to buy them.
There were no lights in the old-style stairwell, and Jin Chuwan forgot to bring a flashlight, so she had to use the faint light from her phone screen to go downstairs.
To be honest, I'm still a little scared to walk down a dark staircase alone, but there's no other way right now.
There was a general store outside the residential area. Jin Chuwan wasn't sure if they had what she wanted at this time of year, but then she suddenly remembered something else.
She...she seems to have forgotten her keys...
Jin Chuwan abruptly stopped, her other hand quickly reaching for her coat. At that moment, she seemed to have forgotten her fear, focusing only on rummaging through all the pockets on her body.
But apart from his wallet and phone, he really had nothing.
It’s over…
Jin Chuwan couldn't help but let out a soft moan in the hallway.
What's wrong with her today?
In the quiet stairwell, the sound of rain outside seemed even clearer.
Yes, she didn't bring an umbrella either.
"What an idiot..."
Jin Chuwan cursed herself in anger, her sighs echoing down the corridor. The man who had just walked out of the rain paused, looking up at the dark corridor.
"Jin Chuwan?"
