Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.

The whistle blows, begin.

Jiang Wan was at a loss, not even knowing which leg to take.

"Don't be nervous, listen to my instructions, left."

"right."

"Again."

Lu Jingshi was tall and had long legs, so he deliberately slowed down his pace to accommodate Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan gradually found the rhythm by following his chants.

The two worked together seamlessly and quickly reached the finish line.

Jiang Wan's face turned red with excitement.

This is the first time in her entire game that she has reached the finish line standing up!

The elderly people enjoyed watching it and were eager to try it out.

There was a thick carpet on the ground, so even if you accidentally fell, it wouldn't cause any danger.

Jiang Wan volunteered, helping staff with leg binding and inspections.

Grandma was eager to participate, but the group assignments had already been completed.

She was left alone, feeling helpless.

"I'll do it," Lu Jingshi walked over again, holding a rope in his hand. "Tie it tight."

Jiang Wan looked at her grandmother's expectant eyes, took the rope, and squatted down.

Unlike the fast pace just now, Lu Jingshi was very patient this time, correcting his grandmother's movements time and time again.

Despite some bumps along the way, the two successfully reached the finish line.

Jiang Wan quickly caught the two of them: "Director Lu... thank you."

Lu Jingshi curled his lip arrogantly: "Useless."

"..."

There were too many people around, and Jiang Wan didn't want to argue with him, so she turned around and silently prayed not to get angry.

By the time the event was completely over, it was already dark.

Lu Jingshi was asked to leave by Dean Zhang, and Jiang Wan took her grandmother back to the dormitory.

After instructing the caregiver on what to pay attention to, she said goodbye to her grandmother.

"Grandma, I'll come see you again next time. You have to eat well and get your treatment, okay?"

The old lady was being fed by her caregiver when she heard this and looked up.

"Little girl, who are you? It's getting dark, go home quickly, your family must be worried."

The caregiver said helplessly, "That's just how this disease is; it keeps recurring."

Jiang Wan's eyes were sore; she had attended school in a neighboring village when she was a child.

No matter when it was, her grandmother would always meet her at the village entrance.

My grandmother's feet were bound by her family when she was a child, but those poor, deformed feet went back and forth every day without fail.

At that time, she felt that her grandmother was her everything, and she was not afraid of anything with her grandmother around.

Until she went to university.

When her family returned home for winter or summer vacation, her grandmother, having received the news, stood under a tree at the village entrance waiting for her.

She became so thin and so small.

But just like when she was a child, I held her hand and, with her deformed little feet, we slowly made our way home.

Jiang Wan didn't want her grandmother to see her cry, so she could only force herself to wave goodbye and leave.

The sanatorium was built on a mountain for a quiet environment.

Taxis rarely come here to solicit passengers on weekdays.

After seeing that there were no cars available nearby on a ride-hailing app, Jiang Wan decided to walk down the mountain first.

The blinding headlights shone from behind, illuminating the road ahead.

Jiang Wan didn't turn around, but stepped aside a few paces.

But the car didn't drive straight past; it continued to follow her at a leisurely pace.

Jiang Wan was getting a little anxious. She quickened her pace, silently took out pepper spray from her bag, and held it in her hand.

One person and one car, one in front and one behind, slowly walked down the mountain.

Jiang Wan couldn't take it anymore and started jogging.

The car behind us also started to accelerate.

Then, a brand-new Maybach pulled up beside Jiang Wan.

The passenger window rolled down, revealing Lu Jingshi's handsome face in the driver's seat, a faint smile of triumph still lingering on his lips.

Jiang Wan felt a sudden sense of relief.

She thought Lu Jingshi had left first.

"Get in the car."

The mountains were high and the roads were dark, and she was always a pragmatic person, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.

He reached out to pull the back door, only to find it locked and he couldn't open it no matter how hard he tried.

Lu Jingshi turned his head slightly, without making any movement.

Jiang Wan blinked, understood, opened the passenger door, and got in.

"You want to call me to your driver? Can you afford the fare?"

Jiang Wan unbuckled her seatbelt: "That's not what I meant. Isn't the passenger seat... reserved for girlfriends?"

"Thanks to you, this is a new car."

"...How much did you lose on that car? I can...apologize."

The word "compensation" rolled around in my mouth, and I changed it to "apology".

Lu Jingshi scoffed, "Is this your sincerity? A flimsy apology? I'm the one who got hurt."

"What do you want? Anything I can afford."

Lu Jingshi seemed to have been prepared: "You expended so much energy this afternoon, dinner..."

"I'll treat you to dinner. What would you like to eat? I'll order."

Jiang Wan immediately responded.

Compared to a huge compensation, she could still afford to treat him to a meal.

Besides, even if Lu Jingshi chose a Michelin-starred restaurant, how much could he possibly eat?

"I don't want to eat out, I'm too tired."

Jiang Wan frowned: "You want... me to make it for you?"

"You don't want to?"

Jiang Wan guessed correctly.

"But I just rented this place today, and I don't have any food at home."

"There's a supermarket up ahead."

Seeing that he was determined, Jiang Wan didn't say anything more, after all, he had suffered a great loss in order to save her.

It's just cooking a meal, no loss at all.

Lu Jingshi parked the car in the supermarket's underground parking garage, and the two went into the supermarket together.

Jiang Wan pushed the cart, with Lu Jingshi following casually beside her.

His features were exquisite and handsome, and even though he had a distant and aloof demeanor, he still attracted many young girls to secretly look at him.

They wandered around the alleyways, just to create a chance encounter, so that they could openly stare at Lu Jingshi as they passed by.

Jiang Wan's car was stuck in the middle, and the empty supermarket had only one aisle that was completely blocked.

She was both amused and exasperated, and tugged at Lu Jingshi's sleeve.

"Or, why don't you go back to the car and wait for me?"

Lu Jingshi's gaze fell on the opposite side. After thinking for a few seconds, he took the cart from Jiang Wan's hands.

"Excuse me, my wife is pregnant."

Some were taken aback, some felt sorry, but eventually, the people gradually dispersed.

Jiang Wan's face flushed, and she glared at him, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Lu Jingshi curled his lips slightly, offering no explanation.

Instead, he pushed the cart towards the shelves in front of him.

Half an hour later, all the ingredients were ready, and some pots, pans, and utensils were also bought for immediate use.

The cashier naturally aimed the scanner at Lu Jingshi.

"Sir, the total is 1630 yuan."

Lu Jingshi shook his head: "She'll pay."

Jiang Wan quickly opened the payment code and pasted it on: "I'll do it, I'll do it."

The cashier's eyes subtly revealed disdain.

The way he looked at Jiang Wan was also a bit disappointed.

After paying the bill, the two carried their belongings to the underground parking garage.

A sigh came from afar behind me.

"Sigh, these guys are good-looking, but they're not real men. They're stingy, miserly, and love to live off women."

Jiang Wan paused, pressing her lips tightly together.

I'm afraid I'll burst out laughing.
