Chapter 820: Chapter 693: Loved You From the First Glance 35
Hai Lan naturally approached An Jie, "I’m pursuing him."
An Jie frowned, moving his body away, putting some distance between him and Hai Lan, "Miss, please respect yourself."
Hai Lan, "What do you mean? Didn’t we meet on the plane before? And I said I liked you back then, haven’t you made up your mind after so long? Are you married or what?"
"No."
"Then why are you rejecting me?"
"Not familiar."
Hai Lan, "I thought it was some big deal, but if not familiar is the issue, can’t we just hang out more to get familiar?"
An Jie, "Miss, please don’t say such ambiguous things."
Hai Lan was not having it, "I don’t care. This is the first time I’ve liked someone so much, and you tell me not to like you, aren’t you just hurting my feelings? Either way, I’m sticking with you unless you physically remove me."
An Jie: "..."
An Jie didn’t know how to shake off such a big trouble like Hai Lan. Jian Dan and Lai Wei had left, unaware of what happened next, but Hai En eventually sent the two back to the capital, because Hai Lan insisted on him sending Jian Dan and them, and also because Hai En himself had personal reasons, wanting to change a little about his previously terrible image in Jian Dan and their eyes, even if just a little.
So, this led to an awkward journey.
On the plane, Jian Dan leaned on Lai Wei’s shoulder to sleep. The seats of the three of them were exactly in the middle, three in a row. Lai Wei sat in the middle, with Hai En and Jian Dan on either side.
It started off awkward, but being awkward for a while, they got used to it.
Jian Dan felt that this return to Feng City was exhausting like never before. Lai Wei took care of her, also sleepy, "Did you especially come with Jian Dan to Feng City?"
Just as she was about to fall asleep, Hai En’s voice came to her ear, and Lai Wei shook off her sleepiness, nodding, "Yes, otherwise what?"
"Do you all still find me annoying?"
"How could we?" Lai Wei was a little puzzled, "We don’t find you annoying, we just think our vibes don’t match, not suitable for deep friendship, it’s not about disliking you."
For Lai Wei’s explanation, Hai En felt like discovering a new continent, "Your... explanation is really refreshing."
Lai Wei was not embarrassed at all, "Is it? Then let it be refreshing, you shouldn’t have come with us, your aunt is still here."
"It’s okay, even though my aunt seems unreliable, she’s actually quite formidable, and An Jie is a soldier, he won’t do anything to my aunt."
Lai Wei nodded, that’s true, "Are you going home or back to school?"
"After sending you to the capital, I’m going back to Hai City."
"Then you should have gone directly back to Hai City just now."
Hai En: "... Why is it that whatever I say, you always have a rebuttal ready?"
"Do I?" Lai Wei didn’t think all she just said was to brush him off, just thought it was convenient for everyone, nothing else.
But obviously, Hai En didn’t think so.
Hai En looked at her appearing so honest, thinking he was being petty, "Alright, you didn’t, it’s my problem."
Lai Wei felt completely relieved, "Hai En, what’s the deal with your engagement with Zhao Linlin? Since you don’t like her, why let her waste so many years on you? It’s really not fair of you."
Hai En nodded, admitting his fault, "Yes, you’re right, I didn’t handle that well, but I don’t regret it."
Lai Wei, "... Luckily, Zhao Linlin doesn’t like you anymore, I think that’s great."
"Yes."
"Can’t you tell that I’m mocking you right now?"
Hai En blinked, looking confused, "I thought you were being honest."
Lai Wei, "... Talking to you is really annoying."
"I think it’s alright."
Lai Wei closed her eyes, "I don’t want to talk to you anymore, it’s tiring."
Hai En: "..."
Lai Wei drifted into sleep, sleeping most comfortably on this journey. At first, she felt like she was leaning on something, something hard, thinking to wake up, but was too tired to do so, and then felt the softness beneath her head, and slept soundly.
When there was an announcement in her head along with Hai En’s voice, she woke up groggily, only to realize something was wrong — her whole head was resting on Hai En’s shoulder. Her face slightly changed, and she sat up, "Sorry."
Hai En didn’t mind, "It’s nothing, don’t worry about it."
Only, both of their faces had a slight touch of awkwardness. Jian Dan was still leaning on her shoulder, sleeping sweetly. Hai En changed the subject, "Didn’t Jian Dan sleep last night?"
Lai Wei shook her head, "Given all this mess, how could anyone even think of sleeping?"
