"Ms. Lin is—" Asking this question, Xia Wennan knew that he must be extremely suspicious in He Yufeng's eyes, but he really didn't know who He Yufeng was talking about, and he couldn't continue chatting with He Yufeng.
Lines gathered between He Yufeng's eyebrows: "Little brother, are you kidding me? How could you not know Teacher Lin?"
"I had a car accident, you know," Xia Wennan was going to confess to He Yufeng, "I broke my head during the car accident."
"Then do you recognize me?"
"Aren't you Senior Brother He?"
He Yufeng said: "Since you know me, why don't you know Mr. Lin? He is our postgraduate tutor."
Xia Wennan reacted instantly, and was surprised at the same time: "We are graduate students of the same supervisor?"
He Yufeng smiled absurdly, "You are Teacher Lin's closed disciple, otherwise why would I call you Junior Brother?"
"I thought..." Xia Wennan shook his head, "Forget it, sorry, I really don't remember."
He Yufeng suddenly reached out his hand towards Xia Wennan's head, Xia Wennan reflexively leaned back to avoid it, He Yufeng closed his outstretched hand into a fist and said to him, "I'm sorry."
Xia Wennan felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and said, "Oh, it's okay."
He Yufeng continued: "I just want to know how badly you were hurt. Why don't you even remember these experiences?"
Xia Wennan raised his hand and touched his head: "The doctor said that what can be recovered is a temporary memory impairment, and the problem is not serious."
"Really?" He Yufeng said softly.
Xia Wennan glanced at him, saw that his eyes were a little dazed, and felt that it would be more embarrassing to continue talking, so he said: "Luchuan is still waiting for me, I'll go back first."
He Yufeng nodded.
Xia Wennan hurriedly passed by him and continued to walk forward.
"Junior brother," He Yufeng called him from behind.
Xia Wennan turned around and heard He Yufeng say, "Call me when you're free, and we'll go to Teacher Lin together."
"Okay," Xia Wennan replied, and when he turned his head to leave, he said one more thing to He Yufeng: "The chocolate truffles are delicious."
When Xia Wennan returned to his seat in the banquet hall, the charity auction was still going on.
Ming Luchuan was chatting with an Alpha sitting next to him in a low voice, when he saw Xia Wennan coming back, he raised his eyes to look at him.
Xia Wennan's mind was in a mess, he took out his mobile phone and searched through the address book, and sure enough he found He Yufeng's phone number. Then he opened WeChat, and although he couldn't find He Yufeng in the friend list, he found a person named Truffle Chocolate. He clicked on the person's detailed information and found that this was He Yufeng, and the truffle chocolate was his note to He Yufeng.
When looking through the address book before, Xia Wennan didn't care when he saw He Yufeng. He just thought that he was an ordinary university senior, and he wouldn't contact him after graduation. He didn't realize until now that his relationship with He Yufeng should be much closer.
After the charity dinner, Xia Wennan left with Ming Luchuan, and never ran into He Yufeng and Duan Ning, nor Lu Huaiye and Ming Siyan.
The driver drove the car and stopped at the hotel entrance to pick them up. On the way home, Xia Wennan and Ming Luchuan sat side by side in the back seat, and he was silent all the way.
When Xia Wennan and Ming Luchuan were together, it was always Xia Wennan who took the initiative to talk to Ming Luchuan, so tonight Xia Wennan was quiet, and Ming Luchuan was silent along the way.
"Have you been drinking?" Ming Luchuan said the first words after getting into the car until the car drove nearly halfway.
"No," Xia Wennan replied, falling into silence again. He has a lot of things to think about, for example, did someone deliberately give him sleeping pills that night? For example, is explaining that Siyan is implying that there is something between Luchuan and Duan Ning? But the question he thinks about the most now is that he and He Yufeng are the teacher-student disciples of the same mentor.
He Yufeng is Moze's boss, so why didn't he work in Moze, but in Mingyan? Could it be that, like Ming Luchuan said, he really likes Ming Luchuan
"Is it hot?" Ming Luchuan asked.
"Not hot," Xia Wennan replied casually, he thought if Ming Luchuan had something to do with Duan Ning, why did he marry him
The sound insulation of the car is very good, the cabin is silent, only the very slight sound of the engine.
Ming Luchuan said, "Are you hungry?"
Xia Wennan replied, "Not hungry."
After about half a minute, Ming Luchuan said in a cold tone: "I'm hungry, find a place for supper."
Xia Wennan somehow followed Ming Luchuan to eat supper at a small shop by the side of the road. The two of them were still wearing dresses for the banquet, sitting in the inconspicuous shop. All customers who entered the shop would take a look at them before finding a seat. Sit down and continue watching them secretly.
The driver parked the car on the side of the road, leaned against the car in a neat suit and smoked.
Xia Wennan adhered to the principle that Ming Luchuan is not afraid of losing face and he should not be afraid of embarrassment, and he will be at ease when he comes, and ordered a wonton noodle.
Ming Luchuan sat across from him, holding disposable chopsticks on the table, "Aren't you hungry?"
Xia Wennan looked at him: "It's all here..."
The hot summer has not yet come to an end, the sun goes down at night, the temperature is still scorching hot, the air conditioner is turned on in the small shop, but people come and go, the glass doors open and close, it is still not too cool.
After sitting for a while, Xia Wennan took off his coat, casually put it on the back of the chair, unbuttoned the collar of his white shirt, and felt that he finally looked stupid without Ming Luchuan who was opposite him.
He asked Ming Luchuan: "Aren't you full from the cake?"
Ming Luchuan didn't answer.
Xia Wennan carefully looked at Ming Luchuan's expression, and asked tentatively, "Are you angry?"
Ming Luchuan snorted lightly.
"Why are you angry?" Xia Wennan also held disposable chopsticks in his hand, "I didn't bother you tonight."
Ming Luchuan still did not answer.
Xia Wennan knew that he couldn't get an answer from him, so he immediately gave up asking and raised his head to look around: "Why hasn't my chaotic side come yet?"
It was quite late after supper, Xia Wennan's blood rushed to his stomach, and his brain became empty. He sat in the car, holding his stomach in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, Ming Luchuan suddenly said, "Why don't you speak?"
Xia Wennan turned his head, looked at him and blurted out: "Is Duan Ning your ex-boyfriend?"
Ming Luchuan was slightly startled, and replied casually: "No."
Xia Wennan asked again: "Have you ever liked him before?"
This time Ming Luchuan stopped talking.
Xia Wennan approached Ming Luchuan, and held up two fingers in front of him, "I'll give you a chance," he pulled down one finger with the other hand, "shaking his head means denying," he then pulled out the second finger, " If you don't shake your head, you admit it." After speaking, he raised his head and stared straight at Ming Luchuan.
Ming Luchuan neither nodded nor shook his head.
Xia Wennan sat back, "That's why I like it."
