That afternoon, the atmosphere between Leng Nuan and Lu Benlai remained amicable.
Before they left the Forbidden City, Lu Benlai patiently accompanied Leng Nuan as they shopped around the shops in the Forbidden City to pick out some accessories.
There was no parking in the vicinity of Changan Street, so Lu Benlai and Leng Nuan had to walk for roughly half an hour before they reached the parking lot.
It was already dinnertime, so when Lu Benlai opened the car door for Leng Nuan, he asked casually, "Shall we go for Hunan cuisine?"
"Sure …" That was Leng Nuan's favorite flavor.
Back then, Leng Nuan and Lu Benlai were still fine. Even when they went to the restaurant they frequented, Lu Benlai only ordered Leng Nuan's favorite dishes. Even after the waiter left, Lu Benlai still acted like a competent boyfriend, helping Leng Nuan remove the disposable chopsticks and the wet paper towels … Everything was still fine.
By the time they were done with their meal, it was already around eight in the evening. Leng Nuan was indeed a little tired after strolling around the Forbidden City for the entire afternoon. After settling the bill, Lu Benlai asked her where she wanted to go, and she replied, "I want to go home."
Lu Benlai replied with a "Alright". When they reached the first floor of the restaurant, he had Leng Nuan wait for him for a moment before heading to the washroom.
There were people entering and leaving the restaurant one after another. Leng Nuan didn't pay much attention to her surroundings. She was browsing through her unread messages on her phone, and it was only when she felt that it was about time that she raised her head to look in the direction of the washroom. Seeing that Lu Benlai hadn't come out yet, she retracted her gaze and turned back to her phone. However, just as she was about to leap past the entrance of the restaurant, she caught sight of a familiar figure.
Her fingers trembled, and the phone fell to the ground with a thud.
It was as if she had just received a huge fright. Her mind was at a complete loss, and she panicked until Lu Benlai's voice sounded behind her, "Nuannuan?"
Noticing Leng Nuan's ghastly pale face, Lu Benlai's expression also turned grim, "What's wrong?"
It was only then that Leng Nuan raised her head to look at Lu Benlai. After a moment of composure, she shook her head and said, "N-nothing …"
"Then why do you look so pale? Also, why did your phone fall to the ground? "Lu Benlai asked as he bent down to pick up Leng Nuan's phone.
The screen shattered …
Seeing that Leng Nuan's complexion was still a little awful, Lu Benlai thought that she was feeling distressed over her phone, so he said, "It's fine, it's not too late anyway. Let's take a detour to a phone shop on the way home and pick a new one …"
Leng Nuan didn't understand what Lu Benlai was saying at all, so she simply nodded her head. Seeing that he was walking toward the door, she followed suit.
Just as she was about to step out of the restaurant, she suddenly recalled the familiar figure who had just disappeared from the restaurant, and she halted her footsteps. Through the glass door, she stared fearfully at the figure outside for quite some time. It wasn't until Lu Benlai walked out of the restaurant that he noticed that she wasn't coming out, that he turned to look at her and asked, "Nuannuan, why aren't you coming out?"
Only then did Leng Nuan raise her feet and walk out of the dining hall. By the time she reached the entrance, she realized that the familiar figure was long gone, and she heaved a sigh of relief.
In the end, instead of buying a new phone, Leng Nuan returned home.
She maintained a calm demeanor as she bade farewell to Lu Benlai at the entrance of the rented apartment. A second after Lu Benlai stepped into the elevator, she closed the door and picked up her phone to check the calendar.
