Lu Yi called Lin Zhizhi with great excitement.
There was a beep, and just when Lu Yi thought the call was connected, it was hung up.
Lu Yi moved the phone from his ear to his face in a daze, making sure that the call was hung up.
Lu Yi frowned slightly, looking embarrassed. Before Lu Yi could do anything else, Lin Zhizhi called him the next second. Lu Yi's eyes lit up instantly.
I told you, Zhizhi won’t ignore me.
Lu Yi swiped the screen with his fingertips to answer the call. Before he could say anything, he only called out, "Zhizhi, I..." before he was interrupted by Lin Zhizhi's words.
"I was in the ward and it was inconvenient to answer the phone, so I hung up first." Lin Zhizhi explained in a gentle voice.
Lu Yi's smile froze on his face. Hearing this, he hurriedly said in a panic: "Ward? Are you feeling unwell? Why did you go to the hospital? Are you okay?"
Lin Zhizhi opened and closed her mouth again and again.
Why didn’t I notice before that Lu Yi asked endless questions? He has the potential to be a chatterbox, but when Lin Zhizhi listened to Lu Yi's endless questions, although she teased Lu Yi in her heart, her heart softened.
As Lu Yi was asking, he realized that Lin Zhizhi was silent, so he hurriedly asked, "Zhizhi, Zhizhi, are you still listening?"
“Still.”
Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and said unconsciously with a little grievance: "Then why don't you answer my question."
Lin Zhizhi was on the other end of the phone and couldn't help rolling her eyes in front of multiple bodyguards.
Brother, you didn’t even give me a chance to answer you. I tried to interrupt you several times but you stopped me.
But Lin Zhizhi still patiently explained: "I rushed to City B overnight last night. The daughter of my close uncle had surgery last night, and I was just in the ward."
After hearing this, Lu Yi regained his usual cold demeanor and his voice became steady, but there was a hint of regret in his tone, "You are in City B now?" Lu Yi casually and with a hint of comfort said, "Then I am already downstairs where you live. I also brought you some cotton candy? They are pretty good."
As Lu Yi was talking, he was turning the wooden skewer with the marshmallow on it. He happened to see a little girl playing nearby, so he walked over and gave the marshmallow to her. He was afraid that the child would not dare to take it, so he smiled slightly to make himself look more friendly.
When Lin Zhizhi heard Lu Yi say this, she felt a little guilty. Why didn't she think of telling Lu Yi? Thinking of this, her tone became gentler. "It's my fault for not thinking it through this time. Next time I leave, I will definitely tell you where I'm going. By the way, did you just get downstairs? You didn't wait for a long time, did you?"
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, opened the car door and got in, saying with satisfaction: "I didn't wait long, and I just arrived."
It was true that I had just arrived, I just waited at home for a long time.
Lu Yi didn't say that he had gotten up early, because if he did, it would ruin his cool and aloof personality.
Lu Yi has already figured out that he can't always remain aloof in front of Lin Zhizhi. After all, the moment he sees Lin Zhizhi, he wants to kiss, hug and lift her up high. So now he has to warm up in front of Lin Zhizhi little by little so that Lin Zhizhi can accept her.
After the two hung up the phone, Lin Zhizhi went back to the hotel to rest. Lin Zhizhi planned to return to City A tomorrow night. She would stay in City B today and tomorrow and go to the hospital from time to time. After all, the accident happened because of her company, and if she hadn't sent bodyguards to protect them in advance, it is very likely that Secretary Zhang's daughter would not be saved.
Lin Zhizhi also thought that in the original book, Secretary Zhang’s daughter might have fallen ill during the kidnapping process just like last night, and then the kidnappers sent a video to Secretary Zhang. Secretary Zhang saw that his daughter was in critical condition, so he had no choice but to betray the company.
As soon as Lin Zhizhi arrived at the hotel, she received a call from Lu Yi.
"Zhizhi, when will you come back?"
"The flight is tomorrow night."
…
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
Just when Lin Zhizhi was about to take a nap, Lu Yi called again.
"Zhizhi, have you eaten? What did you eat?"
Lin Zhizhi then remembered that she hadn't had lunch yet. She just told Lu Yi that she hadn't eaten yet. As soon as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang. It was the bodyguard knocking on the door and bringing her lunch.
Lin Zhizhi was eating lunch and chatting with Lu Yi, who was also eating lunch. The two simply switched to video chat and watched each other eat online.
As Lin Zhizhi was eating, she suddenly wanted to try the osmanthus cake and flower cake from the shop near the school. She thought about it and said it out loud unconsciously. After Lin Zhizhi finished speaking, no one paid attention and she just changed the topic to continue the conversation.
He didn't notice that Lu Yi on the other end of the video had a flash of eyes after hearing it, as if he was thinking about something.
So when Lin Zhizhi finished lunch and took a nap for more than three hours, when Lu Yi called, she was completely dazed. She lay lazily in the quilt with her eyes closed, and one hand groped for the phone at the head of the bed. After finding the phone, she answered the call in a sleepy state.
"Zhizhi, come down."
It was Lu Yi's voice. Lin Zhizhi was even more confused. "Ah? What?"
"I'm in City B now and have arrived at your hotel lobby. I can't go up, so you come down." Lu Yi explained patiently.
Lin Zhizhi was completely awake this time.
She quickly sat up, said she would be down right away, and hung up the phone. Lin Zhizhi put on a thin coat and was about to go downstairs. When she was about to go out, she stopped, turned around to change her clothes, and went to the bathroom to tidy herself up in front of the mirror.
As soon as Lin Zhizhi got out of the elevator, she saw Lu Yi standing in the lobby from afar. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, wearing a simple white short-sleeved shirt and gray casual shorts. The loose neckline revealed a three-dimensional outline of his collarbone, and his Adam's apple was pointed and protruding. His face had a cold expression, and he stood silently and upright, full of the fresh aura of a young man.
Lin Zhizhi walked forward, brushed her long hair, and said softly, "You must have waited for a long time."
