For the first time, Lu Wei Xi who always pays close attention in class starts to daydream. What the professor is writing or saying on the podium seems to be inaudible and invisible. She was wondering whether Jian Chi had seen the long post or not and if he did, did he believe it.
If he doesn’t believe it, then that’s great, but if he does….
Finally, unable to take it anymore, Lu Wei Xi reported that she needs to go to the restroom and walked out of the classroom.
She lowered her head and walk to the end of the school building, next to an abandoned teacher’s office. Then she took out her phone from her pocket and saw that there are no missed calls or no new messages on it.
Her finger trembled as it floated above the familiar name on her contacts. She took a deep breath and dialed the number.
The other party quickly picked up.
“Jian Chi, what are you doing right now?” She spoke, trying to conceal the tremble in her voice.
“Just got off work. I’ll pick you up for dinner this evening?” As usual, his voice is clear and elegant. He didn't seem to hear anything wrong.
Fortunately….he might not have seen it yet, she comforted herself. If she gives him some forewarning, the situation might be better.
She fiddled with her cuff and carefully said, “Jian Chi, have you been on Weibo today?”
“No, why, what happened?”
“Nothing….it’s just, there's someone online spreading false rumors about me. There are a lot of people who believe it.”
“Oh.” He didn’t care about it very much, “Wei Xi, are you worried about those comments online?”
Lu Wei Xi stayed silent. After a moment of awkward silence, she finally answered him honestly, “I was afraid that you will take it to heart.”
He softly chuckled, his voice calm like the gentle stream of water, “I will only believe what you say, not anyone else’s.”
She loosened her hold on her cuff, her restless emotions settled down by his comforting words.
“So, can you have dinner with me tonight?”
She couldn’t help but smile, “Of course.”
——
After the call ended and Lu Wei Xi went back to class, her entire body felt refreshed.
Lu Wei Xi attentively paid attention to the second half of the class. When the class ended, she packed her bag and turned to look out the window. Sure enough, that man who will not listen to her is still standing by the door waiting for her.
Only this time, before she could walk out of the classroom, a few girls next to her took the initiative to walk up to her, “Wei Xi, is he your boyfriend?”
“En, yes.” Lu Wei Xi nodded, feeling a bit bashful.
The crowd grew excited at once.
"How did you find such a handsome and considerate boyfriend? Last time he was also waiting for you outside the classroom."
“Yeah. Also, his temperament is very good, better than any of the boys in our school.”
“I am envious of you, your luck is so good. Give some to me!”
……
Lu Wei Xi received envious remarks and praises from all directions as she fluttered out of the classroom.
This time, when Jian Chi stuck out his hand, she didn’t hesitate to reach for it.
This time, Jian Chi took her to a high-end and classy western restaurant. There are a lot of people inside the restaurant. The atmosphere isn’t very lively since everyone is talking softly. There is also a grand piano in the middle of the restaurant. Right now, a waiter in a black uniform is sitting there playing a soothing composition.
While they are eating, Lu Wei Xi had been the one talking the entire time. Jian Chi stayed quiet and would only occasionally reply to her.
He lowered his head and cut the medium-rare cooked steak on the white porcelain plate with a knife and fork. Each piece is about the same size.
Lu Wei Xi snuck a glance at him. Jian Chi’s fingers had always been beautiful. Perhaps it is natural for him to be a designer so that he can use those hands to draw the perfect design.
While she contemplated about it, she couldn’t help but ask, “Jian Chi, are you satisfied with your current job in China?”
After all, compared to the work in the U.S., there is still a certain gap/
“Yes, it is enough to raise you.”
He offhandedly replied and handed the plate of cut steak to her.
Lu Wei Xi’s heart thumped. She calmed herself down and took the porcelain plate as she quickly changes the subject, “Oh right, how’s the radio drama for “Beauty Order” going?”
“I already recorded.” He met her eyes and naturally replied.
“En, then what about the overall progress?”
“I don’t know.” He expressionlessly replied and took a sip of his coffee.
Lu Wei Xi, “.....”
She had never seen a main CV so uninvolved with the radio drama they are in.
She spoke to him in high spirits for a long time but didn’t mention anything about the long Weibo post she saw this morning. That’s because she knows that the man in front of her trusts her very much.
And that’s enough.
Let me guess, the one spreading the BS is her traveling companion.
