She calmly walked forward in her high heels and raised her hand to knock on the car window to alert Lu Bancheng that she had arrived. However, when she looked through the window, she saw Lu Bancheng sitting in the driver's seat with his head facing away from her and staring at the street outside the window in a daze.
She couldn't see his expression clearly, but she could read a trace of loneliness and helplessness in his posture.
When she had answered the call earlier, she had sensed that he was unhappy. She hadn't expected that he would actually be in a bad mood.
At that moment, Xu Wennuan's mood plummeted. Before she realized what was wrong with her, Lu Bancheng, who was in the car, seemed to realize that he had been waiting for a long time, but she had not arrived. He turned his head in confusion and looked in her direction.
Xu Wennuan hurriedly gathered her thoughts and raised her hand to wave at Lu Bancheng.
Lu Bancheng pushed the car door open, got out, and walked around the front of the car to stand in front of Xu Wennuan.
Xu Wennuan hurriedly opened her bag, took out the envelope, and handed it to Lu Bancheng. "Count it."
Lu Bancheng looked down at the envelope in her hand but was in no hurry to take it.
She returned to Beijing in the morning and couldn't wait to contact me that night to return the money. She's still the same as she was a year ago and can't wait to cut all ties with me.
That's right. What exactly was he hoping for? It was only in Lijiang that she took the initiative to ask him for help once. For more than a year, they were no different from strangers. What happened that night wouldn't change anything, would it?
When Lu Bancheng didn't respond for a long time, Xu Wennuan couldn't help but shake the envelope in her hand.
Lu Bancheng snapped back to his senses and tried hard to suppress the rolling loneliness in his chest. He reached out, took the envelope, and stuffed it into his pocket without counting it.
Lu Bancheng hadn't said a word since he got out of the car. Xu Wennuan, who had just returned the money, didn't know what to say either. She stood quietly in front of him for a while before she said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
When Lu Bancheng heard her words, he raised his head and glanced at her. His eyes were a little dazed, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Xu Wennuan smiled at Lu Bancheng and said, "Goodbye," before walking to the side of the road.
When she reached out to hail a taxi, Lu Bancheng, who had barely spoken, suddenly called out to her.
Xu Wennuan turned around.
Lu Bancheng took two steps forward and leaned against the hood of the car. "Were you the one who called the front desk to call an ambulance for me last night?"
So that's what he wanted to ask … Xu Wennuan nodded without hesitation and admitted, "It was me."
Then, Xu Wennuan realized that it was inappropriate for her to go to his apartment alone the night before, so she gave him a half-truth. "Yesterday, when I was returning your clothes to you, I touched your finger and realized that you were running a fever. When I saw your pale complexion, I remembered that you were drenched in the rain last night … After all, it was related to me, and I felt a little guilty, so I called you. When I realized that no one was answering, I went over and saw you fainting outside the French windows of your villa."
A trace of nervousness flashed across Lu Bancheng's eyes. "Did you meet anyone on your way here?"
Was he referring to Wu Hao? He was nervous because he was afraid that she would overhear his conversation with Wu Hao and find out that he was Zero Degrees.
As Xu Wennuan pondered this in her heart, she pretended to know nothing and shook her head at Lu Bancheng. "No …" She paused and then asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Wennuan clearly noticed that Lu Bancheng had obviously heaved a sigh of relief.
He was indeed afraid that she would find out that he was Zero Degrees …
What he had said to Wu Hao the night before suddenly flashed across her mind.
"Even though I've left her, I'm still watching over her."
"In the virtual world that she doesn't know about, I'm using my original identity to accompany her."
Is it because Lu Bancheng and Xu Wennuan have fallen out, so he can only use the identity of Zero Degrees to stay by her side?
Is he afraid that I'll cut off contact with him once I find out that Zero Degrees is Lu Bancheng? Is that why he's been hiding it from me and purposely finding excuses to avoid me when I've asked to see him?
