After the banquet, everyone gradually left. Lin Wan and Chen Wu stood by the roadside chatting with other friends and family.
"When are you two having the wedding?" an aunt asked.
"Soon," Lin Mother replied with a smile. "We are already preparing for it."
"Oh, this is such a joyous occasion." The aunt looked at Lin Wan and Chen Wu with a beaming smile. "Congratulations to you both."
"Thank you, Auntie," Lin Wan said with a smile.
"Xiao Chen, from now on, our Xiao Yuan will be in your hands," Lin Mother said, patting Chen Wu on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, Auntie," Chen Wu promised earnestly.
Lin Wan looked at him, feeling warm inside.
...
Back home, Lin Wan tiredly collapsed onto the sofa. Chen Wu changed his shoes and walked over to sit beside her.
"What's wrong?" he asked, tilting his head to look at her.
"I'm so tired," Lin Wan said, rubbing her temples.
"Then... how about I give you a massage?" Chen Wu suggested.
"No need," Lin Wan shook her head with her eyes closed.
Chen Wu was silent for a moment before asking, "Did you tell your sister today that you want to learn how to play basketball?"
Lin Wan opened her eyes and turned to look at him.
"I... I was just joking," she explained.
"Oh," Chen Wu nodded. "I liked playing basketball in high school too."
Lin Wan was slightly taken aback.
Is he... sharing his interests with her?
"I play pretty well," Chen Wu said again.
"Really?" Lin Wan asked in response.
"Yeah." Chen Wu nodded, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Lin Wan: "..."
"What's wrong, not willing?" Chen Wu raised an eyebrow.
"No... it's not that." Lin Wan quickly shook her head, "I... I actually..."
She stammered, unsure of how to explain.
She didn't really want to learn basketball; she just... wanted to talk to him.
"Just what?" Chen Wu pressed.
Lin Wan bit her lip, remaining silent.
Chen Wu looked at her, his gaze gradually deepening.
"Lin Wan," he called her softly.
"Mm?" Lin Wan looked up at him.
"You still haven't answered me—why did you agree to my proposal so readily during the blind date?" Chen Wu asked.
Lin Wan was taken aback.
"I..." she stuttered, "I just thought... you seemed like a nice person."
"Is that all?" Chen Wu clearly didn't believe it.
"I..." Lin Wan hesitated.
"Or should I say..." Chen Wu leaned closer to her, "you've liked me for a long time?"
"I..." Lin Wan's cheeks flushed red, "I... I haven't..."
She hurriedly denied it, but her voice grew smaller until it was almost inaudible.
Chen Wu stared at her for a long time before suddenly letting out a light laugh.
"Well, if there isn't, then there isn't," he said lightly, "Anyway..."
He paused and continued, "One day, I will make you willingly admit it."
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her.
Lin Wan's eyes widened as she struggled to hit him.
This guy... why does he always like to sneak attack?
In the past few days, Lin Wan noticed that Chen Wu seemed a bit different from before.
He smiled more often, and the way he looked at her became increasingly gentle.
"Have you... experienced something recently?" Lin Wan couldn't help but ask him.
"Hmm?" Chen Wu raised an eyebrow slightly, "Why do you ask?"
"I feel like you've been... quite happy lately," Lin Wan said.
"Is that so?" Chen Wu smiled, "Maybe it's because..."
He paused for a moment, looking at her: "It's because I'm with you."
Lin Wan: "..."
Her cheeks flushed slightly as she hurriedly looked down, avoiding his gaze.
This guy... seriously...
Besides being different in love, Chen Wu also liked to pinch her face or pat her head recently.
Sometimes, he would even squeeze her hand.
Lin Wan didn't quite understand why he would do such things.
It was simply... like a high school student.
