It was just past ten o'clock, and Xu Nancheng couldn't settle down at all. Without Lin Menghan, he couldn't stay in one place for even a second, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He thought it was a message from Lin Menghan and quickly looked up, only to find it was a system notification. He lowered his head again in disappointment.
Then he suddenly lifted his head. Right! He could send a message to Lin Menghan! Excitedly, he opened the chat window, where the conversation still lingered from when they had just added each other.
He typed, "Lin Menghan, I miss you so much!" and hit send!
But after a few minutes, there was still no reply. His earlier excitement faded into disappointment; what had once been a sunny heart now felt like rain was pouring down.
Refusing to give up, he sent another message: "Han Bao, what are you doing? Can you reply to me?" He added three crying emojis for emphasis.
He truly felt like crying; he was on the verge of tears.
Another minute passed without a response. He put down his phone, bent his arms flat on the table, and rested his forehead on them. Tears began to fall onto the surface below.
Drop by drop, they fell with a soft patter as time passed slowly. His heart sank deeper with each passing moment.
Suddenly, the sound of his phone ringing broke through his gloom. He quickly lifted his head to check; it was Lin Menghan calling him on video.
A wave of joy surged through him as he hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and answered the call. The screen revealed a girl with a delicate face—it was Lin Menghan.
As soon as Xu Nancheng picked up, he exclaimed, "Lin Menghan! You finally replied!"
"Yeah! Nancheng, I'm sorry! Sometimes I get so busy that I can't check my phone," Lin Menghan explained why she hadn't responded earlier. She didn't want him to overthink things or worry that she didn't want to talk to him.
However, as soon as Lin Menghan finished explaining, she noticed that the corners of Xu Nancheng's eyes were slightly red. She guessed that he must have thought she was ignoring him and felt sad about it.
Seeing him cry made her heart ache a little. "Nancheng, what's wrong? Your eyes are so red!"
"I miss you, Lin Menghan! I really miss you!" Xu Nancheng blurted out without any hesitation this time, though he still found it hard to express just how much he longed for her.
"Mm-hmm! I miss you too, Nancheng! So much!" Lin Menghan didn't dwell on Xu Nancheng's tears but instead reassured him that she missed him just as much—her way of comforting him.
Then she glanced around to make sure no one was watching before turning her phone back toward herself. "Nancheng!"
Xu Nancheng had been staring at the phone intently and quickly replied, "Yes! Lin Menghan, what is it?"
Lin Menghan kissed the screen twice.
At that moment, Xu Nancheng's heart raced wildly; she was just too adorable! Lin Menghan was simply irresistible!
Watching Xu Nancheng stand there in a daze, Lin Menghan laughed genuinely. Just like that, she had completely captivated him. What would happen in the future if this continued?
"Nancheng, Nancheng!" Lin Menghan called out to him several times. Xu Nancheng finally snapped back to reality. "I want to give you kisses too!"
Then he leaned toward the screen and blew a flurry of kisses.
"Alright, alright! Look at you!" Seeing Xu Nancheng's expression on the other side of the phone, she covered her mouth and laughed. "Nancheng! No more crying from now on! Otherwise, I’ll hit you! Hit you! You big bad egg!"
"Mm-hmm! I won’t cry anymore!" Xu Nancheng replied eagerly. "Lin Menghan, will you stay with me forever?" With Han Bao by his side, he felt reassured and confident.
"Of course, I’ll always be with you!" Lin Menghan said as she poked the screen a few times, playfully tapping at her silly Nancheng's head.
Unbeknownst to them, their every action was being secretly observed by Zhou Yuxuan from a distance. A sly smile crept across her lips. "Menghan Sister, Xu Nancheng, don’t blame me for eavesdropping; you two are just too loud!"
"Mm-hmm! I believe in Lin Menghan!" With her comforting words, Xu Nancheng felt an overwhelming joy that made him feel like he could fly.
At the same time, he was genuinely concerned about Lin Menghan and began to advise her with a gentle tone. "Lin Menghan, take care of yourself and don’t overwork, okay? Otherwise, I’ll worry about you!"
These words seemed to carry a magical charm; although they might sound a bit cheesy to outsiders, they made Lin Menghan want to hear them over and over again.
"Mm-hmm! Okay, my Nancheng!" Lin Menghan readily agreed; otherwise, he would be so worried.
"Wait a minute, Lin Menghan! I still want kisses!" Xu Nancheng exclaimed. He felt a headache coming on just thinking about how long it would be until they saw each other again; only kisses could cure him.
"Oh dear, what am I going to do with you?" Lin Menghan teased before turning back to the screen. "Are you satisfied now, Nancheng?" she chuckled lightly.
"Mm-hmm! Let’s leave it at that then! Bye-bye!"
"Bye-bye!"
Later that evening, Xu Nancheng was feeling bored and couldn’t concentrate on his studies without Lin Menghan around. He kept glancing at his phone to check the time.
Finally, at eight forty, he could go pick up Lin Menghan from work.
"Mom, Dad, I'm going to pick up Lin Menghan!" At that moment, Lin Zhen and Xu Wenzhao returned home and mentioned they were about to go to bed.
"Alright, be careful on the way!" Lin Zhen and Xu Wenzhao spoke in perfect unison as always.
Xu Nancheng grabbed his freshly charged flashlight before heading out since Lin Menghan was afraid of the dark; he didn’t want her crying again.
When he arrived at the store, Lin Menghan was just getting ready to finish her shift.
Zhou Yuxuan noticed a figure by the door and smiled slightly. "Menghan Sister, do you see who that is?"
