Life is full of surprises, just like now, in this small noodle shop of just over thirty square meters, Su Wan and Fu Weiheng are sitting together on slightly worn plastic chairs, eating noodles.
She ordered two bowls of noodles, one for herself—Vegetable Noodles—and the other for Deity, which is Beef Noodles.
Su Wan absentmindedly picked up a mouthful of noodles and cautiously glanced at the person in front of her who was focused on his meal.
He first took a bite of the noodles, then scooped some broth into his mouth, occasionally picking up a piece of meat to eat. His movements were elegant and natural; he swallowed the noodles quietly without any sound, like a well-mannered gentleman, noble and composed.
It was just a bowl of noodles, yet he made it look like a fine dining experience.
Su Wan was somewhat entranced; it was truly a feast for the eyes...
Fu Weiheng had good table manners and didn’t eat slowly either; soon his bowl was empty. He gently set down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin without changing expression, and looked at her: “Is it good?”
His sudden gaze startled Su Wan, almost causing her to choke on the half mouthful of noodles. She quickly averted her eyes, her face flushing with embarrassment.
Seeing her flustered expression, Fu Weiheng felt quite pleased; he smiled slightly, looking at her with meaningful intent.
Caught sneaking a glance, Su Wan dared not look directly at him again. Instead, she lowered her head and ate quickly, to the point where she ended up overeating...
“Mr. Fu…” Su Wan said softly, “I’m done.”
Fu Weiheng looked at the empty bowl and nodded in satisfaction: “Let’s go.”
On the way back to the dormitory, Fu Weiheng walked on her left side. Two bicycles passed by, one after the other, creating a light breeze. Fu Weiheng's cool voice sounded in her ear: "Su Wan."
Su Wan turned her head to look at him: "Hmm."
Fu Weiheng asked, "What am I to you?"
Su Wan was taken aback; her first reaction was a certain advertisement...
Milk tea?
Forgive her for ruining the atmosphere like this...
Su Wan smiled gently: "I suppose, you're a friend."
Her warm smile was quite charming, and her dark eyes sparkled brightly, giving off an innocent and pure vibe that made him feel particularly at ease.
Fu Weiheng chuckled: "Since we're friends, let's change how we address each other."
Su Wan shyly lowered her head. It wasn't that she didn't want to; it was just that for some reason, she felt embarrassed...
Later, when they returned to the dormitory, Su Wan couldn't escape being teased and mocked by Xu Chengyang and Yao Ye.
Xu Chengyang: "Guan Guan, has the Deity made a move on you?"
Looking at Xu Chengyang's strange smile, Su Wan recalled the moment when Fu Weiheng held her hand, causing an inexplicable tingling sensation in her palm. She realized that, to some extent, Xu Chengyang indeed possessed an unusually accurate sixth sense...
Yao Ye bit the end of her pen and leaned in: "Guan Guan, you two..."
"Stop right there!" Su Wan shot a glare at the two of them. "Fu Weiheng and I are just friends."
Xu Chengyang and Yao Ye exchanged glances, both wearing smiles as they said in unison, "Sure, friends!"
Su Wan: "..."
The next day, Su Wan went to the Fu Residence to give Ye Fan a lesson as usual. Just ten minutes before leaving, she coincidentally received a call from Fu Weiheng: "I'm heading back to the old house; wait for me, I'll come pick you up."
Su Wan thought for a moment and declined, "No need, it would be inconvenient to take a detour from your place."
Fu Weiheng smiled, "We're friends; there's no need to be polite with me."
Su Wan: "..."
She thought of an idiom about lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own foot...
Fu Weijin saw the two returning together once again and greeted them with a strange look, pulling Su Wan's hand and smiling, "Guan Guan, you're here? Did Neil come to pick you up?"
Su Wan silently glanced at Fu Weiheng beside her, noticing his calm demeanor while she felt a bit embarrassed. "Just happened to be on the way..."
Fu Weijin covered her mouth to suppress a laugh and then put her arm around Su Wan's shoulder. "Guan Guan, are you free this weekend?"
Su Wan replied, "This weekend?"
Fu Weijin sighed. "Originally, Ivan and I planned to take Fan Fan to the amusement park this weekend, but something came up at Ivan's company. We have to go on a business trip and won't be back until next week. Could you please take Fan Fan there instead?"
Since Fu Weijin couldn't go to the amusement park and didn't want Fan Fan to be disappointed, Su Wan thought for a moment. She had no plans for the weekend anyway, so playing with the little girl wouldn't be a problem. She smiled and agreed, "No problem."
Hearing her quick agreement made Fu Weijin very happy. She tightened her grip on Su Wan's shoulder. "Thank you, Guan Guan! I've already bought the tickets, and for your safety, I've asked Neil to accompany you both."
Su Wan was surprised. "Ah... together?"
Fu Weiheng, who was walking up the stairs, paused upon hearing her slightly reluctant tone. He turned his sharp gaze toward her. "Not willing?"
Su Wan gritted her teeth and smiled tightly. "...Of course not, I'm more than willing."
Fu Weiheng replied, "Hmm, that's good. Then prepare well." He then strode up to the study.
Su Wan remained silent.
Fu Weijin chuckled softly. "Yes, yes, yes! Look forward to it, Guan Guan; it's your first date..."
Su Wan exclaimed, "A date?"
"...I was talking about your first date with Fan Fan..." Fu Weijin's eyes darted around as she turned away, almost letting the secret slip.
She wouldn't tell anyone that everything was her arrangement...
Then, the night before their trip to the amusement park, Su Wan rummaged through her dorm room, worrying about what to wear the next day.
After Su Wan stared blankly at herself in the mirror for the eighteenth time, Xu Chengyang and Yao Ye, who were busy binge-watching shows and studying, finally noticed something unusual about Su Wan for the first time!
"Guan Guan!" Xu Chengyang took off her headphones and exclaimed, "What's wrong with you? Did a mouse get into your closet? Why is it such a mess?"
Su Wan was startled back to reality by Xu Chengyang's shout. She glanced at her and silently continued to sift through her clothes.
Yao Ye put down her pen and walked over to Su Wan, brushing aside some of the clothes. "What's wrong, Guan Guan?"
Su Wan replied casually, "I'm worried about what to wear tomorrow..."
Yao Ye and Xu Chengyang responded in unison, "Worried?!"
"You worry about this too?" Xu Chengyang said in disbelief as she tossed aside her headphones and rushed to Su Wan's wardrobe.
"Is it an important date?" Yao Ye asked curiously.
Su Wan tilted her head and thought, "I guess that doesn't count..."
Xu Chengyang scoffed, "Then just wear a white T-shirt and jeans! If you're pretty, even if you put on a red and white plastic bag, people will still find you appealing!"
Yao Ye opened a pack of nuts and said, "If that doesn't work, go for a shirt and a little black dress. Sexy and alluring!"
Sexy... alluring...
Su Wan started to feel flustered.
No way...
Who goes to an amusement park in a dress!!!
Who goes there to flirt!!!
She was going to have fun!!!
In the end, Su Wan tossed the clothes in her hand aside, blushing as she went to bed without reaching a conclusion.
The next day, she wore a navy blue crewneck sweatshirt paired with black straight-leg pants, carried a backpack, and tied her hair up in a high ponytail. Su Wan was already delicate and beautiful, with smooth fair skin; this outfit made her look just like a high school girl—pure and innocent.
Going out to have fun! Isn't it all about being youthful and energetic? She wasn't going to flirt with the Deity! No way!
She forcibly gave herself a reason in her heart.
As a result, when she saw Fu Weiheng also getting out of the back seat of that Bentley V8 wearing a dark blue crewneck sweater, Su Wan was taken aback and felt a bit awkward...
It seemed that unintentionally... they had ended up in matching outfits...
Fu Weiheng glanced at her fresh outfit, then at his own sweater, and with a pleasant smile, he said in a deep voice, "What are you waiting for? Get in the car."
At this moment, the rush hour had passed, and the roads were smooth as the car drove uninterrupted toward Amusement Kingdom.
In the back seat of the car, Fu Weiheng sat on the left, Su Wan on the right, with Xiao Ye Fan in between them.
A silence fell...
Su Wan was extremely unsettled by the unexpected "couple outfit" situation, so she turned her head towards the window and sat upright, mentally repeating to herself: do not look, do not look, do not look...
In the middle, Xiao Ye Fan first looked left at his Uncle, then innocently looked right at Teacher Su, breaking the silence with a cheerful smile: "Teacher Su, your clothes are just like Uncle's!"
Su Wan's hand resting on her lap jumped in surprise: "..."
Fu Weiheng couldn't help but chuckle softly. Seeing Su Wan's flustered expression, he casually said, "Relax."
Su Wan forced a laugh, shrugged her shoulders, leaned back slightly, and began to speak incoherently: "...The car is quite comfortable, just like the weather..."
Fu Weiheng chuckled even more.
Su Wan twitched her brows; she might as well keep quiet...
******
On the weekend, the amusement park was naturally packed with people. Standing at the ticket entrance and looking around, it was all parents with their children. Su Wan glanced at the tall Fu Weiheng beside her, then looked down at Ye Fan, who was holding her hand. Why did it feel so strange...
Fu Weiheng frowned in dissatisfaction at the long line and took out his phone to make a call.
Five minutes later, a middle-aged man dressed in a black uniform approached them. The man exchanged a few polite greetings before leading the three of them through a small gate into the amusement park.
Su Wan was astonished...
The legendary... backdoor access... (⊙⊙)
Then the three of them boarded the sightseeing bus...
Fu Weiheng asked calmly, "What do you want to play?"
Xiao Ye Fan raised her hand: "Carousel, bumper cars, spinning teacups!"
Su Wan raised her hand again and weakly added, "...pirate ship."
Fu Weiheng: "Sure."
Thus, the crazy amusement park adventure began...
The amusement park had clear regulations stating that children under 1.4 meters in height were not allowed to ride attractions like Polar Coaster, Eye of the Storm, and Drop Tower. Su Wan quietly glanced at the little one beside her, looked up at the roller coaster racing through the air, and silently pulled Ye Fan to buy ice cream.
Fu Weiheng watched her reluctant figure and also looked up at the mixed sounds of screams and the tumultuous rides, feeling slightly uncomfortable as he furrowed his brows.
After a round of exploration, they had nearly tried all the attractions suitable for children under 1.4 meters. Ye Fan was extremely satisfied, happily licking the ice cream in her hand while sitting on a cartoon chair.
Fu Weiheng frowned again and turned to glance at the thrilling roller coaster in the distance before pulling out his phone.
When Su Wan returned from the restroom, she saw Fu Weiheng sitting alone on a chair drinking juice, while Ye Fan, who should have been sitting nearby enjoying her ice cream, was nowhere to be seen.
She wiped her damp hands and asked, "Fan Fan? Where is she?"
Fu Weiheng set down his juice and stood up beside her: "She got tired playing, so I let Old Yu take her to the car to rest."
Su Wan nodded: "Then let's head back too."
"Not yet," Fu Weiheng said lightly, patting her shoulder. "Let's play a bit more."
So, when Fu Weiheng brought her to the entrance of Polar Coaster, Su Wan turned to him with an excited expression, her tone filled with laughter: "You like this too?"
Fu Weiheng looked at her beaming with joy, and in an instant, all the darkness in his heart was swept away. He smiled lightly and blinked, as if to silently agree.
As long as you are happy.
...
However, some things truly require a certain amount of courage to carry out... For example, when Fu Weiheng, who has a mild fear of heights, got on this roller coaster, his handsome face began to gradually turn pale... Meanwhile, Su Wan, overly excited, completely failed to notice his series of reactions.
In the end, before Fu Weiheng could even adjust his breathing, the ride slowly started moving and then suddenly shot forward with a "whoosh."
Surrounded by various screams of different frequencies, Fu Weiheng remained remarkably calm, sitting through the entire ride in silence.
When they got off, Su Wan looked at him, unfazed, and admired him with a thumbs up: "…You are amazing!"
Fu Weiheng glanced at her: "..."
After dinner, Fu Weiheng safely escorted Su Wan back to her dormitory. He suppressed his discomfort and softly said, "Get some rest early. Good night."
Su Wan glanced at the already sleeping Ye Fan and lowered her voice: "Okay, good night. Be careful on your way back."
After returning to her dorm and taking a shower, Su Wan received a call from her aunt.
Aunt: "Guan Guan, have you eaten?"
Su Wan was in a good mood. "I ate, how about you, Aunt?"
Aunt replied, "I just finished eating. How's your internship going? Is it tough?"
Su Wan said, "Not at all, it's quite interesting."
"Is the money enough?" Aunt asked somewhat helplessly. "Why did you return the card again?"
Su Wan smiled, "You and Uncle work so hard, it's fine to keep some for yourselves. Besides, I just received a scholarship at the end of last semester, so you don't need to worry about me."
Aunt sighed but didn't press further. "Alright then, just don't overwork yourself and take care of yourself."
Su Wan wiped her hair and switched hands to hold her phone. "I will, Aunt. You take care of your health too."
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. You get busy."
"Goodbye, Aunt. Good night."
After hanging up the phone, Su Wan casually opened her photo album and flipped through all the pictures from today. Then she clicked on one and zoomed in; Fu Weiheng's handsome profile filled the entire screen. This was a candid shot she took at the roller coaster exit. Honestly, she didn't know why she took that picture of Deity on a whim...
Then she opened WeChat and sent a message to Fu Weiheng.
