Chapter 207 You are the most dazzling
The two of them sat facing each other silently on the stairs. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. During the ten seconds of silence, a subtle tension filled the air.
In the end, it was Lin Xuan who broke the silence first: "Perhaps, the space I gave you is too small, making you feel depressed?"
Hearing this, Ye Wanqing slowly raised her head, her eyes gently falling on Lin Xuan. She shook her head gently, a faint smile on the corner of her mouth: "Perhaps, you have too high expectations of me."
Lin Xuan was slightly stunned, then a surprised smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "And you, perhaps, are somewhat reserved about your own abilities."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing couldn't help but laugh, with a playful glint in her eyes: "So, do you want to watch a movie together? It can be regarded as compensation for what we didn't finish last night."
Mentioning last night's movie, a subtle ripple flashed in both of their eyes. Last night, that movie was like an unsolved mystery, hanging in the air.
"Should we continue with the one from last night, or choose another one?" Lin Xuan's tone was filled with inquiry and anticipation.
"Last night's, I want to see the ending." Ye Wanqing nodded slightly, curiosity and anticipation flashing in her eyes.
"That's settled then." Lin Xuan said, took a step forward, easily climbed a few steps, and stood side by side with Ye Wanqing.
Back in the living room, Ye Wanqing familiarly opened her movie history, and there it was, the unfinished movie from last night. She clicked it lightly, and the screen lit up, and the story slowly unfolded again.
Ye Wanqing stood up and walked to the small bar, where she made a cup of honey lemonade for each of them. The refreshing aroma instantly filled the entire room. She handed the lighter cup to Lin Xuan and sat back on the sofa with the other cup in her hand.
Although the two of them were in the same room, most of the time they just stared at the screen quietly, occasionally exchanging a glance or a smile. Without saying much, they could feel each other's presence.
However, Lin Xuan's gaze often unconsciously slid from the screen to Ye Wanqing's face, and his concentration and affection almost overflowed from his eyes.
Ye Wanqing drank the last drop of lemonade in the cup, gently put down the cup, and when she looked up, she happened to catch Lin Xuan's burning gaze.
She reached out and gently stroked her cheek, a playful smile on her lips: "Is there something on my face?"
Lin Xuan was startled by the question, then quickly adjusted his expression and regained his usual composure: "No, I just thought your makeup today was particularly exquisite."
Only then did Ye Wanqing notice that Lin Xuan was sitting on a single sofa, his posture both elegant and casual, one hand resting lightly on the armrest, the other holding the glass of honey lemon water, his long legs naturally bent, exuding an indescribable charm.
Even though Ye Wanqing had caught him in the act, Lin Xuan didn't seem embarrassed. Instead, he continued to peek at her calmly. His eyes seemed to be saying, "You're so beautiful, how can I not look at you a few more times?"
Ye Wanqing secretly laughed in her heart. She had thought her words last night were clear enough to make Lin Xuan restrain himself. Unexpectedly, this frankness gave him more reasons to look at her openly.
Lin Xuan took a sip of the lemonade. The sweet and sour taste made him frown slightly, but he couldn't help but take another sip. He didn't like this taste before, but since meeting Ye Wanqing, it seems that even his taste has quietly changed.
Noticing Ye Wanqing's discomfort, Lin Xuan put down his cup and suddenly said, "Beautiful things always make people want to take a few more glances, and you are undoubtedly the most dazzling one among them."
Ye Wanqing felt a strange warmth well up in her heart when she heard this. She had never lacked praise since she was a child, but this time, she felt an unprecedented shyness and warmth because of Lin Xuan's words.
The movie is gradually coming to an end and the climax is about to come, but at this moment, Ye Wanqing is unaware of the upcoming horror scene because of Lin Xuan's words.
In her heart, there was only a faint sweetness and warmth, just like this cup of honey lemonade, fresh and sweet.
The decision to invite Lin Xuan to watch the movie together quietly turned into a trace of regret in Ye Wanqing's heart.
She sighed softly, reached out and pressed the power button on the remote control. The TV screen went dark and the living room fell into silence, so quiet that even each other's breathing could be heard clearly.
At this moment, the sudden vibration of a cell phone broke the tranquility, like a stone thrown into a calm lake.
Their eyes were simultaneously drawn to the slightly vibrating phone screen, which suddenly lit up.
The vibration lasted only a moment before it abruptly stopped. It was obvious that a text message had arrived.
Lin Xuan slowly stood up from the sofa, his body naturally leaning towards Ye Wanqing. A big hand gently covered the phone just before she was about to touch it, and a deep and powerful voice sounded in his ears:
"Don't look at it. Some things are not worth your trouble."
Before he finished speaking, he had already picked up the phone lightly, tapped it with his fingertips, and the screen lit up again. On the unlocked interface, a preview of a new text message came into view. The unfamiliar number and the few digits revealed the self-evident malice.
Lin Xuan's face instantly turned gloomy, and a calm before the storm gathered between his brows.
"What's the unlock code?" His voice was low and calm, yet it carried an unquestionable power.
"6543." Ye Wanqing answered softly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
Lin Xuan nodded slightly. This password was simple yet extraordinary. He quickly entered the password, unlocked his phone, and with a flick of his finger, moved the threatening text message into the trash.
Just as he was about to exit the text message interface, Ye Wanqing's phone screen lit up again, and a WeChat message from Qin Zhuyu appeared before his eyes.
Lin Xuan had no intention of invading her privacy. He just glanced at her casually and then politely handed the phone back to Ye Wanqing.
Ye Wanqing took the phone and saw Qin Zhuyu's message. A warm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She clicked into the dialog box and quickly responded to Qin Zhuyu's inquiry.
It turned out that Qin Zhuyu was worried about her blind date at the weekend and was looking for help from her.
"Are you free this weekend? Accompany me to a blind date. I really don't want to go." Qin Zhuyu's message sounded a bit coquettish.
"Okay, I have nothing to do on the weekend." Ye Wanqing agreed readily, and a sense of cherishment for friendship surged in her heart.
Putting down her phone, she noticed that Lin Xuan was looking at her with deep eyes, and those eyes seemed to contain thousands of words.
"Are you ready to go back?" she asked softly, trying to break the delicate silence.
"You and Qin Zhuyu seem to have a very close relationship." Lin Xuan did not answer directly, but instead mentioned Qin Zhuyu.
Ye Wanqing smiled slightly, with a warm light in her eyes: "Yes, we have known each other for a long time, so the feelings are naturally deep."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan nodded slightly, stood up and said, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early. Good night."
He looked at her deeply, picked up the car keys, and really turned and walked towards the stairs without any reluctance.
Ye Wanqing thought that he would stay tonight as usual, but she didn't expect him to leave so decisively.
The phone rang again, and Qin Zhuyu's messages came like a barrage of messages, complaining about the arrangements at home and expressing her indifference to love.
Ye Wanqing replied one by one, and Qin Zhuyu's messages were like a torrent of water, endless.
Just when she was planning to wait for Qin Zhuyu to finish "venting" before replying, the roar of a car engine came from downstairs, and then the familiar black Maybach gradually disappeared into the night.
Ye Wanqing walked to the balcony and looked at the figure walking away, feeling mixed emotions.
A gust of night wind blew by, and she looked away, only to find that Qin Zhuyu had sent her dozens of messages, each line filled with frustration about blind dates and a yearning for freedom.
At the same time, Qin Huai was surprised to hear Lin Xuan's call. When he heard the other party ask him to meet by the river, he almost thought he had heard it wrong.
Lin Xuan has always been cold and distant, and never takes the initiative to invite people out. How could he ask him out late at night?
Although he was full of doubts, Lin Xuan's invitation was undoubtedly a big surprise to Qin Huai. After hanging up the phone, he immediately drove to the riverside.
As soon as the car stopped, Qin Huai saw Lin Xuan standing by the river smoking. The evening breeze by the river was a bit cool, but also very refreshing.
He walked over quickly and was about to make a joke when he was choked by the smoke coming towards him. "Tsk, this is not like your style, Mr. Lin. What makes you suddenly feel like coming to the riverside to enjoy the breeze?"
Lin Xuan took a deep puff of his cigarette, glanced at him sideways, and asked with a hint of amusement: "Has the Xu family made any new moves recently?"
