The next day.
After Lin Lanzhi arrived at the school, she took a walk around the school, but still did not see Mu Chuwei. He seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, and the school returned to peace, without the enthusiastic fans or crazy screams.
Occasionally, groups of classmates would gather together to discuss what Mu Chuwei had been doing these days, but they would soon change the topic to other gossip.
Lin Lanzhi suddenly became a little worried. He hadn't come to school for so many days and there was almost no news from him. Could something have happened to him?
When she thought of this, a strange emotion flashed through her heart, and her face turned pale instantly. She shook her head, trying to get rid of this bad thought.
She was in a daze the whole morning and was absent-minded in class.
During lunch break, the students went to the school cafeteria or nearby restaurants, but Lin Lanzhi still sat in her seat, staring out the window in a daze.
Ever since the day Mu Chuwei showed up at school, she would often look up and see him surrounded by a large group of fans, and the charming smile that often appeared on his face, like the light of the most precious gems in the world, so dazzling that people could not open their eyes.
His face and smile seemed to be born to bewitch everyone. She didn't even realize that there was an incredible light flashing in her eyes at this moment.
At this time, Su Ya, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder, looked at her with a puzzled look, and asked, "Lan Zhi, what are you laughing at alone?"
Lin Lanzhi then realized that something was wrong with her, and quickly said vaguely, "Nothing, why is there no one in the classroom so soon?"
Suya packed up her textbooks and stood up from her seat, jokingly saying, "It's already lunch time, aren't you going to have lunch and stay here to starve and lose weight?"
Lin Lanzhi finally understood what was going on and quickly stood up and said, "Oh, let's go eat then."
The two of them went to the school cafeteria together, each ordered a meal, and then found a seat by the window and sat down.
The sunlight poured in silently through the glass window and fell on Lin Lanzhi's profile, making the skin on half of her face look fair and transparent, but the other half of her face was hidden in a faint shadow, revealing a hint of worry.
"Lanzhi, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that she looked worried, Su Ya couldn't help but frowned and asked, "You seem to have lost your soul these days. Is there something wrong? Tell me, maybe I can help you solve it."
Lin Lanzhi knew that she really cared about her, and she couldn't help but feel grateful, but she knew that even if she said it out loud, it would only make her feel helpless. So she tried to hide her emotions and smiled at Su Ya: "It's okay, I just feel a little stressed from studying recently..."
Before she could finish her words, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside their table, blocking the sunlight coming in from the window. Lin Lanzhi and Su Ya turned their heads to look at the same time.
A young man in a white shirt stood there, with a valuable Swiss diamond watch on his wrist. His hands were casually clasped together, but he exuded a calm and restrained temperament, with an elegance that could not be concealed.
Lin Lanzhi looked into his eyes that were as deep and charming as a lake. As soon as their eyes met, he raised the corners of his lips slightly and asked politely, "Lin Lanzhi, can I enjoy lunch with you?"
She was stunned for a moment and didn't answer. Ye Zilang didn't seem to mind her reaction. He still had a smile on his face, but his eyes shifted to Suya.
His gentlemanly demeanor and gentle and generous tone almost gave Suya the illusion that he was a nobleman from Europe? Or a prince from the royal family?
Just as she was daydreaming, she suddenly noticed the earnest expectation in his eyes.
It took her a long time to realize that if she continued to stay here, she would probably become a third wheel.
Realizing this, her face turned red, and she hurriedly picked up the lunch box in front of her and stood up, saying, "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You guys do whatever you want!" After that, she quickly turned around and left.
Ye Zilang did not sit down in the empty seat she vacated. Instead, he looked at Lin Lanzhi who looked puzzled and said slowly, "I wonder if classmate Lanzhi has forgotten our previous agreement?"
"Huh?" Lin Lanzhi looked at him in confusion.
Ye Zilang still kept smiling and reminded her softly: "Our agreement after you fell into the water last time."
He deliberately avoided some embarrassing words. Although they were evasive, they were enough to evoke Lin Lanzhi's memory.
She suddenly realized what was going on, and then her cheeks blushed. She said, "Um... I'm so sorry, I will definitely treat you to a meal!"
"Today, then."
Although he took the initiative to ask for a meal, Ye Zilang's posture and expression were very natural. Lin Lanzhi thought that he must have received a good education, so his cultivation was so high.
She had no reason to refuse, so she had to bite the bullet and agree: " Sure , what do you want to eat?"
"Can I make the decision?"
Ye Zilang's eyes lit up slightly, he seemed a little flattered, but also as if his plan had succeeded.
When Lin Lanzhi noticed this, her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. Was it because she had too much contact with the scheming Mu Chuwei, so she couldn't help but doubt the people around him?
She quickly pushed away the doubts in her mind, gave him a polite smile, and said, "Of course."
But half an hour later she regretted it and wished she could take back those four words.
Ye Zilang drove her to a French restaurant in his private car. Just by standing at the door of the restaurant, she could deeply feel the luxury of this restaurant.
Lin Lanzhi slowly raised her head and looked at the English names spelled out in crystals on the wall. She felt that the crystals were flickering and almost blinding her eyes.
She once accidentally glanced at the name of this store in a city magazine and was shocked by the outrageous prices. She has not forgotten it to this day.
But Ye Zilang obviously didn't care. He extended a hand to her gracefully and said with a smile, "Beautiful classmate Lin, please come in."
Lin Lanzhi forced a smile at him, then took a few deep breaths in secret before taking a difficult step forward.
Inside the French restaurant.
The melodious sound of violin floats in every corner, and lavender and roses decorate the entire restaurant. It is so romantic that one feels like being in a fairy tale world, strolling in a happy castle with their beloved lover.
Its atmosphere and style almost satisfy every girl's best imagination.
Lin Lanzhi didn't dare to act rashly. She followed Ye Zilang closely and sat down in a secluded place.
The waiter brought the menu quickly, and Ye Zilang, who was full of gentlemanly manners, naturally gave priority to the ladies.
Lin Lanzhi carefully took the menu and opened it. The names of the dishes were written in French, which she could not understand at all. She only understood the prices at the back, which were almost all three digits and in US dollars.
She remembered that she only had a little over a hundred yuan on her, which was probably not enough to even buy a drink.
She tried hard to hide her embarrassment, handed the menu to Ye Zilang, and said truthfully: "I can't understand the French on it, so you should order it."
Ye Zilang was no longer polite to her. He took the menu from her hand, looked at her while flipping through it, and said, "Then I'll make the decision for you."
"Okay, thank you." Lin Lanzhi's voice was as thin as a mosquito.
Ye Zilang smiled at her, with a gentle light in his eyes. He quickly ordered two steaks and two drinks, then looked at Lin Lanzhi to ask for her opinion: "How well done do you like your steak?"
It was the first time for Lin Lanzhi to come to such a high-end Western restaurant. She said casually based on her memory: "Just 70 points."
“Same as my taste.”
Ye Zilang smiled at her, handed the menu to the waiter, and said a few words in fluent French. The waiter nodded, then turned and left.
Lin Lanzhi looked at Ye Zilang in surprise and said, "So you can speak French, are you a French major?"
"No, I lived in France for a while when I was young, so I know a little bit."
Lin Lanzhi said admiringly: "You are too modest."
Ye Zilang smiled and stopped talking about this topic. He asked politely, "Can I call you 'Lanzhi' from now on? 'Student Lin' sounds too unfamiliar."
His tone and gesture made Lin Lanzhi unable to refuse, so she could only nod: "Okay."
"What a nice name." Ye Ziran praised.
Lin Lanzhi's face turned slightly red and she became nervous again.
Although she tried her best to hide it, Ye Zilang saw the subtle changes in her expression very clearly and said tactfully: "Actually, I just want to have a meal with you today. Don't be too nervous. I only eat steaks, not people."
Lin Lanzhi couldn't help but burst out laughing, her whole face was like a flower that suddenly bloomed, fresh and delicate.
Ye Zilang stared at her intently and said, "Lanzhi, has anyone ever told you that you look really beautiful when you smile? You should smile more often."
His demeanor was natural and calm, and there was no flattery in his words of praise.
Lin Lanzhi's heart beat faster, and she had to admit in her heart that he was really a very charming man. If she continued to face him like this, she was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions, so she stood up and said, "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."
After saying that, without waiting for Ye Zilang to answer, she hurried away and looked around for the bathroom.
At this moment, she smelled a strong rose scent, so she turned her head and looked over there. She was shocked to find that behind a large rose bush was a room similar to a restroom, with male and female signs on the left and right doors respectively.
It is hidden so well that the floral scent completely covers up any odor. The bathroom designer is really admirable.
Just as she was about to walk over there, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her. The familiar scent of expensive perfume emanating from him instantly overshadowed the scent of roses and enveloped her entire body.
Mu Chuwei!
She stared at him blankly. At that moment, she didn't know why her heart was pounding but she also felt a little happy.
Seeing her dazed look, Mu Chuwei curled the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with a layer of mist, which made people fall in love with him uncontrollably.
He folded his arms proudly and looked at her, and asked, "Zhi'er, are you surprised to see me?"
Lin Lanzhi's face immediately turned red. She glared at him angrily and said, "Stop it, it's more like a scare!"
Mu Chuwei immediately showed a trace of disappointment on his face. He said, "Did I really scare Zhier? I wanted to give you a surprise..."
Maybe it was because of his superb acting skills, but seeing him look so lost and pitiful, Lin Lanzhi felt a little sorry for him, so she asked, "Where have you been these days?"
Hearing that she took the initiative to care about him, Mu Chuwei's face showed a joyful expression again, and he said: "I went out of town to shoot a few commercials, and it took me many days to come back. Have you missed me these days?"
Lin Lanzhi felt her cheeks getting hotter. She tried her best to say in a nonchalant tone, "I don't have that much free time!"
Mu Chuwei immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "If you have time, will you miss me?"
Lin Lanzhi glared at him angrily and said, "Mu Chuwei!"
Mu Chuwei completely ignored her anger, his pupils flashing with tiny lights, and he looked at her with a smile and said, "But I miss you."
How thick-skinned is this guy!
Lin Lanzhi felt her face was about to burn, her heart was pounding, and she said hastily, "I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to have lunch first!"
As she spoke, she wanted to walk around the rose bushes and leave, but Mu Chuwei quickly grabbed her, put away his smile, and said sternly: "You can't go!"
Lin Lanzhi subconsciously asked back: "Why can't I go?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask curiously: "How do you know I'm here?"
"You don't need to worry about this. Anyway, you can't go to have dinner with Zilang!" Mu Chuwei said domineeringly and a little awkwardly.
Lin Lanzhi looked at him helplessly and said, "Mu Chuwei, please stop making trouble, okay? He's still waiting for me there!"
"You are not allowed to eat with him!" Mu Chuwei almost blurted out, with a variety of complicated emotions showing on his face.
"No?" Lin Lanzhi frowned slightly, "This seems to be a matter between him and me. Do I need your permission?"
Mu Chuwei was slightly stunned, but his mind quickly turned around, and then he narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his lips like a fairy who was sure of victory, and asked: "Do you have so much money to treat him to this meal?"
Lin Lanzhi was stunned.
Mu Chuwei took in her slightly embarrassed expression, and his mood suddenly became very comfortable. The arc of his lips deepened, and he said very confidently: "I have a way to help you solve it."
Lin Lanzhi was delighted and asked subconsciously, "What method?"
"Come with me and you'll find out."
As Mu Chuwei spoke, he took her hand, walked around the rose bushes, and headed towards the back door of the restaurant.
Lin Lanzhi vaguely felt something was wrong and tried to shake off his hand, but she couldn't, so she had to say, "Mu Chuwei, what are you doing? Let me go!"
Mu Chuwei turned around, blinked at her, and said, "It's not up to you now."
Lin Lanzhi suddenly realized that she had fallen into this guy's trap.
She couldn't break free from his hand and could only be dragged away by him. Her expression gradually became flustered: "Mu Chuwei, where are you taking me? Can you stop making trouble? Ye Zilang is still waiting for me!"
As the words fell, she clearly felt that his hand suddenly increased its strength, as if he was a little angry.
This time, he didn't reply to her, but just pulled her and ran out of the restaurant as quickly as possible.
As they got further and further away from the restaurant, Lin Lanzhi became more and more nervous.
Even if she doesn't have money to pay the bill, she can't just walk away like that!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, but no matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free from his grip.
Mu Chuwei dragged her to a silver sports car, opened the door, stuffed her into the car without saying a word, and helped her fasten her seat belt.
Lin Lanzhi struggled and tried to open the door and get out, but Mu Chuwei, who had already sat in the driver's seat, quickly held her hand. He turned his head and looked at her, reminding her, "I'm helping you now. If you get out of the car and go back, how are you going to pay for such an expensive lunch bill? Are you going to use yourself as collateral?"
Lin Lanzhi bit her lip and said nothing, lowering her head in shame.
Mu Chuwei's eyes flashed with an ambiguous light, and then he said: "Besides, are you familiar with my agent? If you stand him up once, what can he do to you? Do you think you will feel bad if you leave him alone there?"
Lin Lanzhi stared at him angrily, as if trying to find a flaw in his face, and then said thoughtfully: "Mu Chuwei, are you on the wrong side? Ye Zilang is your agent, and the person you should help is him, not me, right?"
Mu Chuwei smiled and narrowed his eyes, leaning close to her ear and whispering, "No, you are wrong. If he dares to attack you, he will be my enemy."
Lin Lanzhi was stunned for a moment. When she reacted, he had already sat up straight, started the car quickly, turned the car around and drove away.
