Chapter 631. Reunion
At a bustling station, a tall, handsome man stood at the exit, frequently glancing down at his phone to check the time.
She should have already arrived, right?
After waiting patiently for half an hour, as the moment of their meeting approached, his restlessness began to bubble over, and he paced back and forth in a small area.
“Hey, handsome~ My sister wants to add you on WeChat.”
A sudden, cheerful voice chimed in his ear. Wen Yang glanced down at the tall girl and shook his head dismissively, redirecting his gaze back to the exit.
In the depths of the exit, a crowd of people began to emerge, but unfortunately, the girl he had been thinking about was petite and got lost among the throngs, the crowd appearing like a dark mass.
His feet instinctively moved forward as he leaned closer to observe the incoming crowd.
The flow of people gradually thinned, yet he still couldn’t find the girl.
“Isn’t this the right bus?”
Wen Yang muttered in confusion as he bent down to type a message.
“Hey, little cutie~ Wanna hang out?”
A somewhat shy voice came from behind, and he instinctively shook his head, only to freeze in surprise.
In the chaotic atmosphere, he couldn’t smell anything out of the ordinary, nor was there any physical contact, yet his heart raced inexplicably upon hearing that unfamiliar voice, excitement flooding through him.
Wen Yang turned around and decisively replied, “Sure!”
The girl behind him wore a thin white shirt that hugged her curves, paired with a plaid short skirt, her long legs clad in black stockings.
She stood there smiling, radiating brightness that made everything around her seem dull in comparison.
“Wow~ Is this really how casual you are?”
Ning Chu returned to her usual tone, pretending to be disdainful, yet she took a step forward and hugged Wen Yang tightly, burying her face into his sturdy chest.
The familiar scent enveloped her, making her body turn soft; she greedily inhaled deeply, her earlobes starting to heat up.
Wen Yang gently held her delicate body, stroking her lovely, silky hair from the crown of her head down to her waist.
“Have you eaten yet?”
“No, the food on the bus was too expensive.”
“Why didn’t I see you earlier?”
“I was hiding behind others, sneaking out from the side~”
After a moment’s embrace, Ning Chu soon noticed a weight pressed against her stomach; she struggled to escape Wen Yang’s hold and mumbled with a hint of embarrassment as she glanced around, “So many people are watching…”
“Weren’t you the one who hugged me first?”
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, pretending not to hear, and grabbed her suitcase, pushing it into Wen Yang’s hands. “Come on, let’s go! After sitting for hours, my butt hurts; I’m exhausted.”
The bus they took at one o’clock had now left them in the dark.
“Let’s grab a bite first?”
Wen Yang’s suggestion was promptly shot down by Ning Chu. “Let’s go back first; I want to check out the place you rented.”
Her intentions were evident, and Wen Yang teased her softly, “No rush. You need to eat well first to have the energy to keep up with me.”
“I’m just tired! I want to rest!” Ning Chu pouted in frustration, “Also, I need to buy towels and a toothbrush! I have no time for all that extra stuff!”
“I already bought them for you.”
“Well, I still need to rest! Let’s order takeout!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll call a cab.”
“Is it far? Otherwise, let’s take the subway to save some money?”
“Not far, it’s fine.”
Perhaps due to their brief separation, Ning Chu felt unusually excited upon their reunion.
Her heart raced, the sound echoing in her ears; her cheeks flushed with warmth, creeping from her neck to her face, even coloring her earlobes red. She felt dizzy, wanting to hold Wen Yang’s hand and snuggle closer.
She was unusually lively, her feet barely touching the ground as if she wanted to leap up. Her mouth was nonstop chatter.
“You should have seen my mom; she was beaming with happiness when she registered with Uncle~”
“She got drunk last night and kept sweet-talking Uncle after getting home; he was almost at his wit’s end.”
“I also saw my cousin yesterday. He’s quite handsome, just a notch below you. But I didn’t dare tell him I’m Ning Chu.”
“Heihei is almost five feet tall now; what if she ends up taller than I am?”
Wen Yang patiently listened to Ning Chu’s endless chatter, a gentle smile on his face. He occasionally looked down at her exquisite profile, his gaze brimming with tenderness.
Arriving at the rideshare pickup point, the throngs of people finally rendered her momentarily speechless.
She leaned almost entirely against Wen Yang, her big eyes curiously scanning the unfamiliar surroundings, unable to suppress her curiosity: “Wen Yang, work been going well these past few days? Has anyone at the office tried to bully you?”
“Didn’t you ask me this online? No one’s bullied me; they’ve all been quite nice.”
“Then are there any…”
“I turned them all down; none can compare to your looks or figure. Don’t worry.”
“Well…”
“My boss is pretty nice too. I was supposed to work overtime today, but he didn’t mind me leaving.”
Ning Chu opened her mouth to say something more.
“Occasionally, we work overtime—once or twice a week. The pay is good for it.”
She realized in annoyance that Wen Yang anticipated all her questions, and could only glare at him in frustration. But after two gentle pats on her head for comfort, her anger quickly vanished.
“The car is here.”
At the rideshare vehicle, Wen Yang first placed Ning Chu’s luggage inside and hurried back to help open the car door. He leaned against the doorframe, wary of Ning Chu bumping into it carelessly.
In his eyes, she resembled a child who never grew up, needing his care everywhere.
At first, Ning Chu was a bit unaccustomed to it, but gradually, she was spoiled by it.
They hadn’t been in the car long when they arrived at Wen Yang’s rented single room.
As soon as the door opened, Ning Chu eagerly squeezed inside, glancing around the room she’d seen on video and flopping down comfortably onto the bed.
She stretched lazily, relaxing her stiff body from hours of sitting, releasing comforting groans.
“What do you want to eat tonight?”
Wen Yang followed her inside, casually shutting the door and placing the suitcase in a corner.
He began browsing the takeout app, but when he looked up, he found Ning Chu sprawled on the bed, her bottom sticking up in the air as she leaned over to plug her phone charger into the socket.
Though she was simply charging her phone, that wiggling little behind revealed her true intentions.
Wen Yang’s tone turned teasingly ambiguous as he asked again, “What do you want to eat?”
“What do you think?”
Ning Chu plugged her phone in while lifting her backside even higher.
“How about me~?”
