Oh no! Drunk last night, I accidentally wandered into my ex-boyfriend's room.

It's not entirely true that it's a blind date.

We are currently in a phase of reminiscing and looking at each other, with elders acting as matchmakers. Neither side has explicitly expressed their intentions, nor has they broken the ice.

Lin Qian sighed and turned to look helplessly at her aunt.

Xu Wan winked at her, making faces and giving her an expression that suggested she really wanted to ship them as a couple.

Lin Qian: "..."

You can eat whatever you want, but you can't just ship any couple.

Wen Shuyan lived next door to her since childhood, and in a sense, the two were childhood sweethearts.

Even the closest relationships can fade if there's no contact for several years.

Those happy and beautiful moments seem to have gradually faded away with the passage of time.

"Oh my, is this Qianqian?" Aunt Zhou's eyes lit up, and she greeted her warmly. "My goodness, I didn't even recognize you! You've really grown up so much!"

Lin Qian politely exchanged compliments: "Aunt Zhou, you flatter me. You've become younger and more elegant, completely different from before. I almost didn't recognize you."

These words made Aunt Zhou overjoyed, and she couldn't stop smiling. She secretly kicked her son under the table.

"..." Wen Shuyan adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses with a slightly awkward expression.

The waiter came over to serve the food and poured Lin Qian a glass of orange juice.

At the dinner table, Xu Wan and Aunt Zhou were the main chatters. The two hadn't seen each other for many years and were chattering away about everything.

As they chatted, Aunt Zhou suddenly seemed to remember something.

"Hey? Does your Qianqian also work in the field of software technology?"

Xu Wan nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes."

"Oh dear," Aunt Zhou slapped her thigh, "what a coincidence! Our Shuyan is the same; this is the main focus of his trip back to China!"

Wen Shuyan smiled and nodded in agreement, looking at Lin Qian with gentle eyes, and said:

"It seems that I have a special connection with Qianqian."

As he spoke, he offered Lin Qian a drink.

Lin Qian had no choice but to politely return the drink.

"It's quite a coincidence."

Midway through the meal, Lin Qian got up to go to the restroom. She had just finished washing her hands when she received a WeChat message from Lu Beiting.

Lu Beiting: [Aren't you going home yet?]

Lu Beiting: [I'm angry. [Angry]]

He acted like a resentful husband.

Lin Qian typed helplessly, trying to coax him: "Didn't I tell you I'd be eating out tonight?"

Lu Beiting: [Oh.]

Two minutes later, Lu Beiting couldn't hold back any longer: [With whom? Male or female? How many people?]

Lin Qian: [There were four people: me, my aunt, my former neighbor, and that neighbor's son.]

Lu Beiting quickly realized something.

[Her son? How old is he?]

Lin Qian: [The same age as me.]

Lu Beiting: [Childhood sweethearts?]

Lin Qian: [I guess so.]

Lu Beiting: [Hehe]

?

What does his sarcastic "hehe" mean?

Lin Qian frowned.

Lu Beiting: [Address.]

Lin Qian: [Huh?]

Lu Beiting: [I was just curious which restaurant you ate at, don't overthink it.]

Lin Qian replied with an "Oh," and then sent her real-time location.

It has to be said that since they got back together, Lu Beiting has been very strict with her, and he has to know her every day's schedule perfectly.

Three years ago, when they were dating in college, Lu Beiting rarely asked her what she was doing.

The corridor was dimly lit, and Lin Qian almost bumped into someone as she turned the corner.

"careful."

Wen Shuyan instinctively grabbed her arm, and after securing it, quickly let go.

Lin Qian looked up and said, "Thank you."

"Sister Qianqian...you're being too polite to me right now." Wen Shuyan lowered his head and looked at her through the dim light.

Lin Qian has changed a lot, not only in appearance, but also in personality.

She used to be a chubby little girl, innocent and cheerful, always smiling and sunny.

She often came to visit him, and would ask him any math problems she didn't understand. She would also share any good food she had with him.

"Brother Shuyan, could you help me with my winter break homework? Wow, really? You're so kind!"

"Brother Shuyan, would you like some cake? I'll share half with you!"

"Are you there? Can I copy your math test?"

Lin Qian has become thinner and more beautiful. She has a cool and aloof temperament, snow-white skin, and captivating, beautiful eyes. She is as exquisite as a beauty who has stepped out of a traditional Chinese ink painting. A single glance from her can easily steal your soul.

The carefree and cheerful demeanor of the past is nowhere to be seen anymore.

I wonder what she went through in the years he was gone to become so aloof and distant.

Lin Qian remained calm: "We haven't seen each other for so many years, we should be more polite."

"Qianqian, how have you been these past few years?"

"fine."

After hearing the girl's distant and polite words, Wen Shuyan's fingers, hanging at his sides, curled slightly.

Are you still angry with me because of what happened back then?

Lin Qian shook her head and admitted, "I was angry before, but not anymore."

Wen Shuyan paused, some words stuck in his throat, and he didn't say them for a long time.

"Okay, as long as you're not angry with me."

When the two returned to the dining table, Aunt Zhou chatted with them for a long time, reminiscing about the funny things that happened back then.

at the same time.

Separated by a row of potted flowers, two guests at another table slowly took their seats, and the waiter bowed to serve them their dishes.

Xiao Si yawned. "Why did you suddenly invite me to this restaurant? Didn't I say I'd already eaten?"

Lu Beiting wasn't in a good mood; his face darkened slightly. "Then let's eat one more time."

Xiao Si: "..." So domineering.

Although the view was somewhat blurry through a row of green plants, you could clearly see everything happening at the next table by parting the leaves.

Lu Beiting raised his eyes and looked over with a cold gaze.

Under the warm orange light, Lin Qian listened attentively to her elders, a slight smile curving her lips, serene and gentle.

Across from her sat a similarly young man, dressed in a light gray suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. The two were a handsome couple and chatted happily.

Lu Beiting cut his steak expressionlessly, a flash of cold silver light in his eyes.

She was smiling.

Why is she smiling at other men?

Xiao Si followed his cold gaze and stared in surprise.

"Holy crap, Brother Lu, your house's going to get robbed. That man's eyes clearly have ulterior motives towards your future wife!"

Lu Beiting didn't speak, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, as if he was thinking about something.

The sounds of conversation from next door gradually drifted over.

He could clearly hear Lin Qian calling the man "Brother Shuyan".

Xiao Si, of course, heard it too, and clicked his tongue twice. "Lin Qian is an only child, right? She only has one cousin, Lin Yize. This complete stranger calls him 'brother,' I bet he's some childhood sweetheart, right?"

next second.

"Sizzle—"

The knife in Lu Beiting's hand made a sharp, grating sound as it scraped across the plate, and his fork plunged hard into the piece of beef.

Xiao Si shrank his neck, and cold sweat began to pour from his forehead.

Oh no, I accidentally touched a nerve.

I shouldn't have agreed to have dinner with him.

This man is terrifying when he's jealous!
