Lin Junyang looked at the disconnected phone, feeling frustrated. His elder sister also said there was nothing between them. Could it really be that he was overthinking?
Ah ah ah, this elder sister; why couldn’t she learn sothing better but had to learn Mu Xingfeng’s poker face? Now everyone’s speaking in riddles, making others guess for half a day to figure out what’s going on.
Just after hanging up Lin Junyang’s call, Gu Haoyu’s call ca in. Upon answering, he heard a steady male voice: "Ruonan, why did you turn off your phone earlier? When are you returning to the Imperial City?"
"I was on the plane earlier. I’ve just returned to the Imperial City. I just got off the plane," Lin Ruonan replied matter-of-factly.
"Hmm, how is Xingfeng’s health?" Gu Haoyu asked again.
"He has completely recovered."
"That’s good. Wait at the airport for a while. I’ll send soone to pick you up."
"Okay."
The brief conversation lacked any emotional fluctuations, almost formulaic, but Lin Ruonan was already used to this way of interaction.
She, Gu Haoyu, Mu Xingfeng, Lin Junyan, along with Chen Yankun and Sun Wangbei, were all students from the sa school back in the day. Aside from her, the other five had sworn brotherhood.
After graduation, Mu Xingfeng and Lin Junyan went to Nan’an, Gu Haoyu took over the family business, Chen Yankun went into politics, and Sun Wangbei worked his way up from scratch, now his entertainnt company has gained so fa dostically.
Probably because of Mu Xingfeng and Lin Junyan’s relationship, the few of them had always treated her very well. She and Lin Junyang were twin siblings, and although they hadn’t sworn brotherhood, over the years they had always looked after her like a little sister.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Haoyu hung up, his finger gently stroking the phone: So she ca back so soon. Did sothing happen? Who was Xingfeng with in that video? Wasn’t it Ruonan?
At that mont, Assistant Qi walked in: "Boss, you called for ?"
Gu Haoyu pondered for a mont, then finally buried his curiosity and said: "Miss Lin is at the Imperial City airport, and she’s landed. Send soone nearby to pick her up."
"Yes," Assistant Qi turned and left.
Gu Haoyu looked at the group photo on the desk, five energetic young n, exuding a heroic spirit, with the girl next to them even more valiant. The five young n all looked at the cara with bright smiles, while the girl slightly turned her head, looking at the boy beside her, her gaze carrying a hint of softness.
Gu Shaoyu picked up the photo, his fingertip pausing on the girl’s innocent face and gently stroking it: Ruonan, as long as you’re happy, I’m willing to endure loneliness.
Lin Ruonan was about to enter the house when she ran into Old Mr. Lin returning from playing chess. Seeing Lin Ruonan was like seeing a ghost.
"Ruonan, why did you co back so soon? Did you go to Nan’an at all?"
Lin Ruonan couldn’t help but rub her forehead, thinking the more you fear sothing, the more it happens. She should have headed straight back to the Guard Team.
Knowing her grandfather was about to start lecturing, she briskly walked into the house.
Old Mr. Lin refused to let her go, running after her: "Ruonan, Grandpa is asking you a question."
"I went, I went yesterday." Lin Ruonan tossed out a sentence.
"You went yesterday and ca back so soon? I heard Xingfeng earned great rit this ti and got injured. Didn’t you stay there to take good care of him?" Old Mr. Lin tugged Lin Ruonan and questioned.
Lin Ruonan knew she couldn’t escape, so she plopped down on the couch, took an apple from the table and took a bite: "He’s bouncing around now, doesn’t need any care."
