CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 014 THE UNINVITED_2

Today’s Fu Mansion is very quiet, with only Ye Fan sitting alone on the rug in the living room, drawing. Su Wan glanced around and walked over to ask softly, "Fanfan, are you home alone today?"

Little Ye Fan looked up, slightly surprised at her early appearance, "Teacher Su, you’re here?"

"...I left a bit early today." Su Wan felt a bit guilty and asked once more quite insincerely, "Is there really only you at home?"

Ye Fan continued drawing, his little voice mumbling cutely, "No, my little uncle is sick and resting upstairs."

Sick?

Su Wan was momentarily stunned by the news and hurriedly asked, "How did he get sick? Is he feeling any better now?"

Ye Fan stopped his drawing, scratched his little head, "The doctor uncle said that my little uncle got scared."

"Scar... scared?"

"Yes, my little uncle is afraid of heights. The day we came back, he fell ill."

The string of answers left Su Wan momentarily at a loss for words.

He’s afraid of heights, and yet he still...

"Su Wan."

A low, husky voice suddenly sounded from behind her, and Su Wan instinctively turned around.

The man was dressed in a black velvet sweater and casual pants, standing on the stairs, his deep and dark eyes fixed on her. There was a hint of fatigue on his handsome face.

Su Wan immediately remembered how Fu Weiheng had looked pale and silent after getting off the roller coaster. Clearly, he had been too uncomfortable to speak, yet she had thought it was only Fu Weiheng’s fearless reaction.

Suddenly she felt embarrassed, how could she have thought the God also liked roller coasters...

By the time she came to her senses, Fu Weiheng had already walked up to her, his low voice carrying a hint of laziness, "What’s up?"

Su Wan lowered her head apologetically, "Sorry... I didn’t know you..."

"It’s none of your business." His tone was indifferent as he brushed past her into the kitchen.

Su Wan was stunned.

After a while, Fu Weiheng came back, handed her a cup of warm water, and spoke nonchalantly, "I just wanted to challenge myself a bit."

Su Wan accepted the cup, raised her eyes, and stared at him for a full ten seconds, puzzled, "...Challenge yourself?"

Fu Weiheng sat down on the sofa, giving her a sidelong glance, "Yeah."

So the whole time, it was just her wishful thinking, believing he did it for her?

Su Wan felt ashamed, her face flushed, and she placed the cup on the table abruptly, "...I’ll go prepare for class!"

Ye Fan looked up, his voice clear and loud, "Teacher Su, starting class so soon?"

Su Wan’s figure and voice drifted away together, "...I’ll practice the piano first!"

The next day, Yao Ye woke up unusually early, and her rustling woke the always light-sleeping Su Wan.

Su Wan lifted the bed curtain and saw Yao Ye packing clothes into a small suitcase, asking, "Yao Yao, what’s going on?"

Yao Ye looked up, embarrassed, "Did I wake you up? Sorry, Wanwan, my parents called early saying my grandpa had a heart attack and I need to go back quickly. I tried to stay quiet, but I still woke you."

"It’s okay, I went to sleep early last night. How is your grandpa?" Su Wan pulled aside the bed curtain and got out.

Yao Ye looked worried, "He went into the operating room at four a.m., and hasn’t come out yet."

Su Wan didn’t say anything unnecessary, taking clothes from her cabinet to help her pack, "Be safe on the way back, your grandpa will be okay."

Xu Chengyang slept until noon, and Su Wan roughly told him about Yao Ye’s situation. Xu Chengyang asked, "So how’s Yao Ye’s grandpa?"

Su Wan: "He’s past the critical stage now, but still very weak, Yao Ye might need to stay a few more days."

Xu Chengyang: "Alright, it’s just us two sticking together!"

Su Wan: "..."

After lunch, the two of them went to the library together.

Xu Chengyang hooked his arm around Su Wan and suddenly asked, "Wanwan, when do you think I can find a boyfriend?"

Su Wan paused, "Hmm, that reminds me of a song."

Xu Chengyang’s eyes lit up, "What song?"

Su Wan slowly said, "A thousand years later..."

Xu Chengyang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, angrily snorting and staring, "Su Wan!"

Su Wan laughed, "I’m just joking... the next second you’ll meet a handsome guy!"

Xu Chengyang rolled her eyes at her, then turned her head and saw a certain handsome and familiar guy, exclaiming, "Wanwan, you’re a fortune teller..."

Su Wan turned her head following her gaze, stunned, it was indeed... magical.

Over there, Jiang Zhiyan had spotted them from afar, striding towards them with a smile, "We meet again."

Xu Chengyang was so excited she almost danced with joy, "Mr. Lawyer, what a small world, fate brings people together from a thousand miles away!"

Su Wan nodded, "...Hello."

Jiang Zhiyan lowered his eyes to look at Su Wan’s face, those calm and distant brows inexplicably stirred up a sense of familiarity within him, yet when he tried to recall, he found it blurry and could not grasp any threads.
