In her lifetime, Su Wan never imagined she would end up in a police station. The car owner, unwilling to accept being scratched and then beaten, reported the incident to the police on the spot.
Xu Chengyang, unafraid and even angrier, kicked the man again, saying, "I’m just waiting for this!"
Thus, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of police sirens, the three of them were taken into the police station together.
The one taking their statements was a friendly-looking middle-aged officer. Su Wan finished her statement first. Later, when Xu Chengyang came out of the interrogation room, the officer seriously reminded them, "Since you did get into a fight, you need to resolve this privately or consider filing a complaint, depending on what the parties involved decide."
In the end, they were told that they needed family members to come and bail them out.
Yao Ye had returned to her hometown, Xu Chengyang was not a local, and Su Wan had no relatives nearby. Suddenly, both of them found themselves without any way out and couldn't find anyone to come bail them out.
Her phone vibrated with a new message. Su Wan opened it to see it was from Fu Weiheng: "What are you doing?"
Su Wan absentmindedly replied and put her phone back in her pocket.
Xu Chengyang felt guilty and took Su Wan's hand: "Guan Guan, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for being impulsive; I dragged you into this..."
Su Wan smiled and reassured her: "I'm fine; don't overthink it."
Waiting like this wasn't a solution. Xu Chengyang reached into her pocket for her phone and her fingers brushed against something hard and sharp inside. She pulled it out to find it was a business card she had requested from Jiang Shuaige a couple of days ago.
Xu Chengyang exclaimed in surprise as if she had found a lifeline, holding the card up in front of Su Wan: "Guan Guan! I found someone!"
Then Su Wan saw the elegant business card displaying the bright letters—Jiang Zhi Yan—and the small word next to it: Lawyer.
Without hesitation, Xu Chengyang took out his phone and dialed the number on the business card.
Before long, the call connected, and a clear voice came through: "Hello."
Xu Chengyang immediately felt relieved and tearfully said, "Lawyer Jiang, help me..."
Jiang Zhi Yan understood the situation and smiled lightly, "It's a small matter, I'll be right there."
Xu Chengyang expressed his gratitude, "Thank you so much, handsome lawyer. I will definitely pay you the lawyer's fee later!"
"You don't need to worry about the fee; just let Deity thank me properly when the time comes." Jiang Zhi Yan casually put on a jacket and left.
Xu Chengyang was confused: "Deity???"
After hanging up, Jiang Zhi Yan leisurely called Fu Weiheng.
Su Wan looked at Xu Chengyang, puzzled. "What happened?"
Xu Chengyang still looked bewildered. "Jiang Shuaige said I don't need to pay him; he just wants Deity to thank him properly. But what does this have to do with Deity?"
Su Wan was momentarily taken aback, her mind racing with implications. Her face suddenly flushed as she turned her gaze elsewhere.
What was she thinking about at a time like this...
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Zhi Yan appeared calmly at the police station entrance. Following him was Fu Weiheng, who looked visibly displeased.
Su Wan was startled and immediately felt flustered, lowering her head to stare at her shoelaces.
She had just replied to him that she was studying in the dormitory...
Xu Chengyang spotted the two outstanding figures from a distance, quickly stood up and waved, "Jiang Lawyer, over here!"
Fu Weiheng entered and saw a figure sitting on a bench with their head down not far away. His expression softened, and he felt a bit more at ease.
Jiang Zhi Yan was a well-known lawyer in the industry, and her backing was not to be underestimated. She quickly handled all matters. The bullying driver not only did not demand any compensation from them but also sincerely apologized to both of them.
Xu Chengyang looked at the driver's furtive demeanor, crossed his arms over his chest, and disdainfully snorted, "Ungrateful fool, get lost!"
Jiang Zhi Yan: "..."
As night fell, the only old streetlight outside the police station illuminated the concrete road. Two police cars were parked in the empty parking spaces, and the shiny Cayenne stood out awkwardly between them.
Fu Weiheng took out his car keys; the headlights flashed as he unlocked the car. Su Wan hesitated to take a step forward, trailing behind him and creating distance between them.
Fu Weiheng reached the car door but did not open it. He turned around and stood still, patiently waiting for someone who was moving at a snail's pace.
Su Wan looked up at Fu Weiheng leaning against the car door, their eyes met. Fu Weiheng beckoned her to come closer, his gaze incredibly alluring.
Thus, she unknowingly quickened her pace...
"Get in," he opened the passenger door.
Su Wan hesitated before getting into the car, then realized that Xu Chengyang had mysteriously disappeared. She paused for a moment and hurriedly asked, "Where's my roommate?"
Fu Weiheng glanced and closed the car door. "I had Jiang Zhi Yan take her home first."
"Home?"
Fu Weiheng walked around to the driver's seat. "Yeah."
"I..."
She hesitated, but Fu Weiheng had already stepped on the gas and drove onto the road.
I want to go back too...
The moonlight was beautiful, with a few sparse stars hanging in the smoky blue night sky. The car was very quiet as he drove slowly along the coastal street. Su Wan lowered the window, letting the sea breeze gently sweep through.
Fu Weiheng was somewhat angry, feeling both frustrated and helpless. He had sent her a message, but she didn't mention it at all and even told a lie. It was only through Jiang Zhi Yan that he learned what had happened. Yet all his restless emotions vanished the moment he saw Su Wan safe and sound at the police station.
On the way from home, Fu Weiheng kept wondering if he hadn't made his feelings clear enough or if someone was just too oblivious to pick up on it.
"Su Wan."
His soft call broke the silence in the car. Su Wan was distracted by the view outside, responding absentmindedly, "Hmm."
His deep and gentle voice stirred a wave of emotions. "Do you like me?"
In an instant, the sound of wind faded away, and Su Wan's attention shifted from the scenery to the handsome man beside her. "Huh?!"
She stared at his calm profile, feeling her face heat up. Just a few days ago, she had only just clarified her own feelings; could it be that he discovered them so quickly?
"Guan Guan." He gently pressed the brake and stopped by the side of the road, looking into her eyes with determination. "From now on, no matter what happens, I hope the first person you think of is me."
This was the first time he had called her so intimately. Su Wan slightly lowered her head, feeling a bit shy. Did he mean for her not to hide anything from him? So Su Wan replied, "Oh..."
"Oh?" Fu Weiheng frowned, clearly dissatisfied with this response. It seemed someone really was...
He shook his head helplessly and said firmly, "Can't you see? I'm pursuing you, Su Wan."
On the way back to the dormitory, Su Wan was still in a daze, drifting like a wandering spirit even as she entered the bathroom.
Xu Chengyang noticed something was off and, with a toothbrush in his mouth, leaned closer to Su Wan, mumbling through the foam, "Guan Guan, what's wrong? Did you lose your soul after being with Deity for a while?"
Su Wan's gaze drifted to Xu Chengyang's toothpaste-covered mouth as she spoke dreamily, "Nothing... just felt like something hit my chest."
Xu Chengyang abruptly pulled out the toothbrush and exclaimed loudly, "Did Deity just attack your chest?!"
Su Wan shot her a blank look and didn’t bother to explain. She transformed back into a wandering spirit and floated onto her bed, staring longingly at the cute plush toy on it, slowly beginning to regain her senses...
Fu Weiheng had just... seemed to be confessing to her.
She seemed to have replied something like, "Are you chasing me or running away?"
Then she jolted awake with a start.
Oh no, it was really just that Fu Weiheng felt too distant; she hadn't thought about it in that way at all.
Unconsciously, she...
However, the point is that Fu Wei Hang, after hearing these words, calmly escorted her safely to the dormitory entrance and said, "Good night."
But such a reaction only made her feel even more chilled.
They say that a wise person can be foolish at times.
Clearly, it was a good atmosphere for a confession, yet she had ruined it completely.
Su Wan, just be stupid...
That night, the ash-like darkness was shrouded in a thin mist, and Sumerian was filled with regret and unable to sleep.
The next morning, when she got up to wash her face, Su Wan was startled by her haggard reflection in the mirror. Her fair face had developed two dark circles under her eyes, and the sagging bags under her eyes were heavy enough to droop down.
In the end, she applied a thick layer of concealer over the dark circles to ensure she wouldn't scare anyone before she wobbled out the door.
It was a drizzly morning, and combined with her sleepless night, she found herself yawning endlessly from the moment she stepped outside.
After getting on the subway, Su Wan continued to dwell on the endless turmoil from last night.
"Su Wan, do you like me?"
"Guan Guan, no matter what happens in the future, I hope I'm the first person you think of."
"Can't you see? Su Wan, I'm pursuing you."
The touching and profound confession still echoed in Su Wan's mind as she leaned against the armrest of her seat, lost in thought. However,
"Are you running after me?"
A loud, foolish remark suddenly pulled her back to reality. Su Wan felt like crying, and in a moment of shame, she covered her eyes.
Not far from the company entrance was the subway station. As Su Wan stepped out of the subway station with her exquisite floral umbrella, a familiar Bentley V8 smoothly passed in front of her and then stopped at the entrance of Endless Corporation.
The security guard immediately rushed over to open the rear door. Two seconds later, Fu Weiheng stepped out of the car, dressed sharply in a black suit.
Su Wan, who had been yawning with her mouth half-open, was startled into silence. She quickly closed her lips and hurriedly ran to hide behind a nearby stone pillar.
That embarrassingly foolish response lingered in her mind, and the awkwardness began to amplify upon seeing Fu Weiheng. Once again, she covered her eyes in shame and only felt relieved after that tall figure entered the elevator before stepping through the company doors.
When she entered the Practice Room, most of the team members were already present. She mechanically responded to their greetings and walked straight to her seat.
Clearly, she had been confessed to by Deity; she should have been overjoyed and calmly replied to him, "Yes, I like you too."
Yet this strange feeling of unease kept washing over her...
Was it because she had foolishly rejected him? But did that count as rejection? She hadn't even said a single "no"!
And how was she supposed to explain Fu Weiheng's nonchalant reaction afterward?
Could it be that Deity was just playing a cruel joke on her?
A sudden thought made Su Wan's heart skip a beat.
Ah... perhaps it was just a joke, yet she took it all seriously and spent the entire night in deep contemplation...
As a result, the more she thought about it, the heavier her heart felt, and the more downcast she became...
Then, with a sharp sound, her bow snapped...
The piercing noise startled Su Wan, and she realized it was over.
She raised her head in embarrassment, and sure enough, everyone was staring at her in surprise. Su Wan quickly lowered her bow and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Behind her, Wen He saw Su Wan looking lost for the first time. Holding her flute, she asked with concern, "What's wrong, Guan Guan? You seem distracted as soon as you walked in. Did you not sleep well last night?"
Su Wan turned her head and smiled at her, saying, "It's nothing, just feeling a bit out of it..."
The next few hours were filled with repetitive practice. Su Wan, who usually took everything lightly, was unusually distracted today. Even during the orchestra practice, she couldn't focus fully. Fortunately, the afternoon practice was canceled; otherwise, she would have been the only flaw in the orchestra today.
At the end of the session, Fu Weiheng had entered the Practice Room at some point and was now speaking with the orchestra's conductor at the front. Dressed in a sharp black suit, he exuded a serious and masculine aura. As they spoke, he maintained his usual stoic expression with no visible emotional fluctuations, appearing distant and hard to approach.
Su Wan's hand holding the violin trembled slightly as she found herself lost in thought while looking at him.
Aside from what she had read online, she realized she knew almost nothing about him. How could she dare to think further in that direction?
Suddenly, while talking to someone ahead of him, Fu Weiheng glanced her way. The moment their eyes met startled Su Wan; she quickly lowered her head and began to frantically pack up her violin.
The door to the Practice Room was very close to him. Su Wan stared at the door just a few meters away and then glanced at Fu Weiheng by the door. Finally gathering her courage, she lowered her head and strode toward the entrance.
A few steps brought Su Wan to the door, just as she was about to step over the threshold. Suddenly, her wrist tightened, and an unknown force caught her off guard. Instinctively, she turned her head to look in the direction of that force.
Fu Weiheng's dark, deep eyes were filled with tenderness, and his rich voice was incredibly enticing: "Wait a moment, it's raining heavily. I'll take you back."
Su Wan looked into his eyes, tugging at her lips, unsure how to respond. Behind her, the Conductor had a smile on his face, and his ambiguous expression made Su Wan's ears inexplicably warm. She hurriedly pushed away the hand that was gripping her wrist and turned to leave the Practice Room without saying a word.
Running to the elevator door, Su Wan was panting in a flustered manner as she pressed the button and quickly stepped inside.
In the confined space of the elevator, Su Wan could clearly hear the increasingly unusual restlessness in her heart, each beat echoing like a knock against her nerves.
When Su Wan reached the company entrance and looked at the misty rain outside, she recalled Fu Weiheng's words and unconsciously shivered her shoulders.
She definitely wouldn't wait... After all, she had decided to be a turtle hiding in its shell!
Meanwhile, when Fu Weiheng emerged from the Practice Room and faced the empty corridor, he wore an expression of expectation. He smiled helplessly and walked casually toward the elevator.
It seemed that for certain individuals, sometimes it was necessary to take some firm measures.
