Chapter 53: Like Strangers
Han Wuyu gently picked her up, drove her back to his home in his sports car, settled her down, and turned on the small desk lamp on the cabinet. Han Wuyu looked at her face under the light and sighed softly.
“This is the last time.” The last time I’ll be good to you, the last time I’ll bring you home. Never again. Let’s just be strangers. That little bit of heartbeat will fade with the passage of time.
Yin Lingyan, who was asleep, sleepily touched the hair on her face with her hand, trying to move it away. But after a long time, it still remained by her eyes. Han Wuyu smiled helplessly and gently tucked her restless hand under the quilt, helping her tuck her hair behind her ear.
Seemingly more comfortable in her sleep, she started snoring adorably, just like she did at the bar~~~
“Han Wuyu, you scoundrel.” Just as Han Wuyu was getting up, this sentence suddenly came from Yin Lingyan’s mouth. Han Wuyu’s face went dark. Was this… his own doing?
“Mhm, scoundrel.” He looked at her for a long time. She only mumbled a few words softly, and finally said it as if confirming.
“Scoundrel? What makes you hate me so much that you curse me even in your dreams?” Han Wuyu smiled bitterly, took one last look at her, and then walked out of the room.
The next day, Han Wuyu left home early. He glanced at Yin Lingyan, who was still asleep, and left with his notebook computer in hand.
When Yin Lingyan woke up, she immediately recognized that she was in Han Wuyu’s home. She was stunned for a while before coming to her senses. But the important thing now wasn’t why she was here, but… Oh my god, she was going to be late!
Yin Lingyan tidied herself up as quickly as possible and then rushed to school at a breakneck speed, still habitually arriving at the classroom just in time.
As soon as she entered the classroom, she heard her best friend calling out. At this moment, she realized that so many people were missing from the classroom.
Han Wuyu, Yin Chubei, Ye Qianyu, Yin Lingchen, and Mu Qingyi were all absent, and… the teacher for today’s class had also changed.
“Is this a collective truancy?” Yin Lingyan quietly asked Mu Qingran while the teacher was writing.
Mu Qingran shook her head at her words. What she was thinking about now wasn’t the problem of them not being here, but… the problem of her older brother confessing last night.
“Where did you go last night?” Mu Qingran stared at Yin Lingyan’s every movement and gaze, afraid of missing even the slightest expression.
Yin Lingyan was startled. She remembered meeting Han Wuyu in the restroom last night and being forcibly kissed by him. After that, she cried, and then… it was this morning. If nothing unexpected happened, he must have brought her home.
“I… I went home.” Yin Lingyan didn’t want her best friend to make wild guesses about their relationship, so she pretended to laugh it off.
Mu Qingran looked at her with a half-believing expression, then stared at her clothes before reluctantly nodding.
Yin Lingyan secretly made a V sign in her heart. Fortunately, she was smart enough to change into a different set of clothes, otherwise, this best friend would definitely be suspicious, and then she really wouldn’t be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Yin Lingyan occasionally let her gaze drift to Han Wuyu’s seat, but each time she turned her head back in disappointment. She actually… actually felt that even the class had become boring without Han Wuyu present.
Meanwhile, Han Wuyu was busy, his expression extremely serious, even stern. His eyes were fixed on the small red dot on the computer.
“They’ve arrived, let’s go!” Finally, the red dot moved to a position where a green dot was flashing. Han Wuyu snapped his fingers, put on a silver mask, and walked out handsomely.
