The more Xu Wennuan thought about it, the more frustrated she became. Eventually, she ignored her image and sat down on a stone stool by the side of the street and began to think about what she should do next.
As the sun gradually set in the west and the sky darkened, Xu Wennuan still could not think of a good solution even after the last bus back to Lijiang had left.
The lights in the ancient city lit up one after another. There were fewer and fewer tourists, and the bustling streets became much quieter. Xu Wennuan moved her legs, which were numb from sitting. Just as she was wondering if her only option was to borrow a phone to call her parents and ask them to rush to Lijiang overnight to pick her up, she caught sight of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye.
Xu Wennuan thought she was seeing things. She was stunned for a moment before she shifted her gaze.
Indeed, it was Lu Bancheng. He was sitting at the bar diagonally across from her, chatting with a blond, blue-eyed foreign man. Based on the shape of their lips, they were probably speaking English. She had no idea what they were talking about, but Lu Bancheng seemed to be very happy.
While she had been squatting there in the afternoon, she had been daydreaming about how great it would be if she could meet someone she knew.
She had never imagined that she would actually meet someone she knew, but this person had a lot of unpleasantness with her.
Putting aside the question of whether anyone would be willing to lend her a phone, even if she did manage to contact her parents, they would have to rush from Beijing to Lijiang, and then from Lijiang to Zhongdian Ancient City. It would probably take them the next morning … In other words, she would have to stay here for at least one whole night …
I have no place to stay, no food, and I'm a girl squatting in an unfamiliar place in the open.
The more Xu Wennuan thought about it, the more she felt that the only method she had thought of was too unreliable. Her gaze then fell on Lu Bancheng through the window of the bar.
He was wearing a white shirt and holding a bottle of wine. He was smiling and clinking glasses with the foreign man.
Would he refuse to help me if I went to him for help?
When I went to look for my father when he was sick and had nowhere to go, he had rejected me so decisively.
Xu Wennuan struggled in her heart for a long time before she finally stood up.
How will I know if I don't try? What if he agrees? Moreover, the current her had no other choice.
At this thought, Xu Wennuan took a deep breath, lifted her head, and walked toward the bar.
When she pushed the door open and entered, the sign on the bar said in a crisp voice, "Welcome."
Then, a waiter approached her. "Miss, how many people are in?"
The bar was very quiet. Although Xu Wennuan couldn't hear the conversation between Lu Bancheng and the foreign man clearly, she could hear them through the singing of the singer.
The two of them were engrossed in their conversation and did not notice her enter. Xu Wennuan secretly took another deep breath and shook her head at the waitress. She whispered, "I'm looking for someone." After the waitress left with a smile, she mustered up all her courage and walked toward Lu Bancheng.
Just as Xu Wennuan was about to stand next to Lu Bancheng's table, the foreign man sitting across from him noticed her approaching. He turned his head, looked at her in confusion, and asked in English, "Miss, you are?"
