Chapter 104 Dinner

The unique Jiang Wuzheng was leaning against the car window, sipping his milk tea intermittently, watching the passers-by outside the window, until he saw Han Zhong carrying a thermos bucket back to the car, and suddenly sat up straight.

"Where did it come from? What's in it?"

"It's soup. My mom asked my dad to bring it to me."

"Open it and take a look. There might be a bomb hidden inside."

“…”

Han Zhong pinched his chin and made him look into his eyes. He said sincerely, "Baby, that's my dad, not a terrorist, let alone a killer. There are no bombs in here, only soup. My mom's cooking skills are good. You can try it."

The low voice of "baby" was filled with an indulgent tone. Jiang Wu felt his ears itching slightly, as if the voice was spoken right next to his ear. He could not help but rub his ears and pushed his hand away.

"The soup can also be poisoned."

“…”

These words made Han Zhong ignore his red ears for a moment and his expression became serious.

A person's subconscious reaction represents his truest thoughts and also represents his past experiences. Jiang Wu was full of doubts about the kindness from his parents, even to the point of being on guard, which most likely indicates that he had encountered similar things before.

He knew that Jiang Wu's father was a frequent domestic abuser and alcoholic, and was eventually jailed for intentional injury, but it was not that serious, and there was no need for him to poison him. Jiang Wu's mother treated Jiang Wu very well, so such a possibility did not exist.

Considering Jiang Wu's extraordinary skills, his disregard for worldly laws, and his fear of thunder, Han Zhong began to have an absurd guess.

"Have you...ever encountered anything like this?"

"Huh?" Jiang Wu was stunned. He didn't have any parents. "Of course not. I just saw them."

Han Zhong felt relieved, and suddenly felt that he had been obsessed with investigating the talisman recently, and he actually thought that Jiang Wu in front of him was reborn and possessed.

There are many strange things in the world. Maybe Jiang Wu saw the news somewhere. As for being afraid of thunder, it was probably the punishment for those of them in the Xuanmen who violated the ban.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at the other person with some resentment. He had planned to meet his parents, but Jiang Wu hadn't told him anything yet.

Jiang Wu noticed his gaze and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Han Zhong looked into his clear eyes, and immediately all the resentment disappeared. He rubbed his hair and said, "It's okay. I'll take you to eat something delicious."

"good."

Because of Han Yun's sudden appearance, the two missed the movie time and went directly to the reserved restaurant to eat. Han Zhongben thought it was a pity until he found out that the movie ticket Jiang Wu bought was for a zombie movie.

One hundred meters high, you can overlook the night view of Linhai on two sides. On one side is the water park, where there will also be a large-scale fireworks show, and above your head is a vast expanse of stunning starry sky. This is Linhai’s famous French open-air restaurant, and also one of Linhai’s most distinctive check-in spots.

Han Zhong specifically asked Lisa before choosing this place, just so that Jiang Wu could see the stars he loved. But the guy sitting opposite him was eating so seriously that he never raised his head from beginning to end.

Han Zhongrao watched him eat with interest for a long time before he spoke, "What do you think of this place?"

Jiang Wu replied, "It's delicious."

"What about the view?" Han Zhong raised his chin and pointed to the top of his head. "Didn't you say you like looking at the stars? I specially chose an open-air restaurant with a night view for you. At least look up and take a look?"

Jiang Wu looked up at the starry sky above his head and suddenly smiled.

Han Zhong raised his eyebrows, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Wu smiled at him and said, "I just feel happy."

Han Zhong looked at the starlight falling in his eyes, and a corner of his heart seemed to have collapsed. "Me too."

At this time, fireworks started to be set off in the water park in the distance. Since the distance was just right, I could see the dazzling shapes of the fireworks without feeling that they were too noisy. Many people around me started asking the waiters to take pictures for them.

The restaurant waiter also walked up to Han Zhong and his friend and asked if they needed a photo and check-in service. He was about to refuse, but Jiang Wu took the initiative to hand over his phone and then moved a chair to sit next to him.

After all, it was a public place and there were so many people taking pictures. Considering Jiang Wu's identity as an actor, Han Zhong originally thought that he just wanted to take a simple photo. However, when he looked at the camera, Jiang Wu suddenly stuck to him.

Han Zhong turned his head in surprise and looked over. At this moment, the waiter had already pressed the camera button and apologized, "Sorry, the guest next to you didn't look at the camera. Do you need to take another photo?"

Jiang Wucun went over to take a look. Han Zhong in the photo seemed to have not expected him to come over. He looked at him in surprise, but his usually calm black eyes lit up.

"No, just this one, thank you." Jiang Wu replied with a smile, and then handed the phone to Han Zhong, "Take a look."

Han Zhong took the phone and looked at the photo. He was stunned. He didn't realize what expression he had. It was the first time he realized that he was looking at Jiang Wu Shi like this.

He was as young and innocent as a boy, and just a little physical contact could make him so flattered and frightened.

He looked at the young man beside him who was sipping red wine with his head down, and felt inexplicably embarrassed. It was this man who had been chasing him, but now it seemed that their reactions were reversed. He was feeling nervous, but he was as steady as an old dog, acting like a master of love without showing any emotion.

He snorted inwardly with a hint of dissatisfaction, and ran his fingertips across the photos, intending to return to the main interface of his phone, but he forgot that Jiang Wu's phone was a different model from his own, and accidentally clicked into the photo album.

He was about to quit when he suddenly saw a familiar old photo.

That was when he was sixteen.

It was the photo he had placed in his study. That year was the happiest time of his life, but subsequent changes made him put the photo on the bookshelf, not wanting to see it again. However, Jiang Wu secretly kept the photo in his mobile phone.

The corner of the city that collapsed in his heart was completely shattered, and Han Zhong's heart felt sour and soft, as if it was rubbed by a big hand.

"Jiang Wu."

"Um?"

The moment Jiang Wu raised his head, a pair of warm and soft lips gently kissed his eyes. He closed his eyes subconsciously, then opened them again and was met with a pair of familiar eyes. It seemed that they were filled with gentle moonlight and turned into a deep abyss, making him want to indulge in it.

Jiang Wu stared at the familiar eyes and silently called out a name - Yan Chong.

Han Zhong looked at his stunned expression and couldn't help but chuckle, "Thank you."

Jiang Wu hadn't reacted yet, looking a little bewildered, "Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for showing up."

Thank you for liking me so much.

Jiang Wu gradually came back to his senses and murmured, "Thank you for appearing in front of me again."

His voice was too soft, and Han Zhong didn't hear exactly what he said. He only vaguely heard that he said something similar to what he had said. His heart warmed, and he uttered a low "hmm".

It was already past ten o'clock when the two of them returned. They had to go to Qin's house tomorrow, so they washed up and went to bed early.

After Han Zhong lay down on the bed, he replayed the scenes of the night over and over in his mind. The surging emotions in his heart were like a torrent with nowhere to go. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for more than two hours.

Finally, he could not help but get up and send a message to his friend in the jewelry store: Can you speed up the delivery of the rings? It's a bit urgent.

It was early morning, so there was naturally no reply. However, Han Zhong felt much more relieved. He put down his phone, turned around and went to sleep.
