Xu Wennuan finally snapped out of her reverie and softly said, "Thank you." She then raised her hand and took the medicine from Lu Bancheng's fingertips. She placed it in her mouth and picked up the glass of water. When she realized that the water was warm, she swallowed it with the medicine, warming her stomach and heart.
Xu Wennuan put down the glass and saw that Lu Bancheng was still standing. She pointed to the seat across from her. "Why aren't you sitting?"
Then, she realized that Lu Bancheng might be returning to the booth, so she quickly said, "I'm fine. Why don't you go in first?"
Lu Bancheng did not say anything. He took two steps into the booth and sat across from Xu Wennuan.
He glanced at the empty glass in front of her and raised his hand to call for a waiter to refill it. He then asked Xu Wennuan, "Are you in a bad mood?"
Xu Wennuan was stunned by his sudden question. After a while, she shook her head and replied, "No."
"Then why did you drink so much?"
How did he know that I drank so much? Could he have been paying attention to me when we were in the booth?
An indescribable sense of lightness quickly filled Xu Wennuan's heart. She didn't know what she was happy about, but her mood, which had been low for a long time, instantly turned for the better. Even the pain in her stomach had lessened significantly.
She smiled at Lu Bancheng but did not tell him that she was in a bad mood because of him. "I just thought that the wine tasted good."
"Oh." Lu Bancheng responded and shifted his gaze to the road outside the window. She could not tell what he was thinking about, but he appeared to be in a daze. After a long time, he turned his gaze back and met Xu Wennuan's eyes. "Your stomach isn't good. Don't drink or eat anything raw or cold."
After a moment of silence, he moved his lips gently. "Take good care of yourself."
Xu Wennuan felt a stab of pain in her heart when she heard his casual words.
Perhaps it was because she knew he was going to America and wouldn't be coming back, so she felt like he was saying his final farewell to her.
Xu Wennuan forced a smile and nodded her head. Suddenly, she felt exceptionally sad, as though something was stuck in her throat. After much effort, Xu Wennuan's lips curled up again. She stared at him as though nothing had happened and said, "I heard from Xiao 'ai that you're going to the United States again?"
Lu Bancheng didn't open his mouth. He just said, "Mm."
Xu Wennuan's heart sank when she heard his confirmation. "Xiao 'ai also said that you plan to stay in the United States for a long time?"
Lu Bancheng lowered his eyes.
Yes, I plan to settle there for a long time.
Initially, he didn't have such thoughts, but after coming back to the country and interacting with her twice, he realized that he couldn't control himself and kept thinking about getting involved with her.
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself and would offend her, startle her, and hurt her again like he did a year ago.
Thus, he decided to leave and never return.
At this thought, Lu Bancheng smiled and nodded at Xu Wennuan. "That's what I plan to do."
"When are you leaving?" Xu Wennuan didn't look into Lu Bancheng's eyes and asked casually.
