Xu Wennuan didn't know what was wrong with her, but she suddenly felt a slight pain in her heart. She stared at Lu Bancheng as he turned to leave after saying goodbye. All of a sudden, she moved her lips and called out, "Lu Bancheng."
Lu Bancheng stopped in his tracks abruptly, thinking that he had misheard her. He stood silently with his back facing Xu Wennuan for a moment before he turned his head to look back. When he realized that she was still standing in the same spot, a look of astonishment flashed across his eyes. "What's wrong?"
"I …" Xu Wennuan had instinctively called out Lu Bancheng's name. She didn't even know what she was going to say, and the moment she said the word "I," she froze. Awkwardness filled her entire body, and she racked her brain to think of what to say. The more anxious she was, the slower her brain worked. Finally, in a moment of desperation, Xu Wennuan blurted out, "Let me treat you to a meal."
Lu Bancheng's body trembled violently. He thought that he was hallucinating, and his entire body seemed to have frozen as he stared at Xu Wennuan without any reaction.
Xu Wennuan only realized what she had said after she finished speaking.
They didn't seem to know each other that well, and she had been so heartless and cold to him in the past. It was a little strange for her to suddenly ask him out for a meal.
Xu Wennuan's hands clenched into fists as she racked her brain. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the envelope she had just given Lu Bancheng in his pocket. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she said, "Thank you for your help in Lijiang, so it's only right that I treat you to a meal."
When he heard this, Lu Bancheng finally realized that he wasn't hallucinating and that she had really offered to treat him to a meal.
His chest was instantly filled with an indescribable surprise that he had never felt before. His gaze trembled as he looked at Xu Wennuan, and he could clearly feel his heart pounding violently.
Xu Wennuan saw that Lu Bancheng had no intention of speaking, and she thought that he was unwilling. Feeling a little awkward, she added, "I don't know if you have time right now, but if you don't …"
It took a lot of effort for him to stabilize the violent waves in his body. He forced himself to open his mouth and speak in a calm voice, interrupting Xu Wennuan. "Where are we going to eat?"
Xu Wennuan knew that he had agreed, so she hurriedly changed the words on the tip of her tongue. "I know of a new hotpot restaurant not far from here. The food is pretty good, and it's winter now, so it's quite suitable. What do you think?"
Lu Bancheng nodded his head without any objection and pointed to his car, indicating for Xu Wennuan to get in.
…
Xu Wennuan took him to a Sichuan-style hotpot restaurant. Although they ordered a mildly spicy hotpot, it was still spicier than a typical hotpot.
Xu Wennuan had always loved eating spicy food, so her chopsticks never stopped moving. Halfway through her meal, Lu Bancheng, who was sitting across from her, seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned around and called for the waiter. He stared at the menu for a while, then pointed at something and said, "I'll add a bowl of egg custard."
Xu Wennuan thought that he had ordered it for her, so she didn't think too much of it and continued to add more ingredients to the hotpot.
Not long after the pot was opened, the egg custard was served. Xu Wennuan picked up her chopsticks and was about to scoop up the ingredients when he reached out and stopped her.
