Someone outside was playing a flute, the melody lingering – it was Xiao Ya Xuan’s “The Most Familiar Stranger”. Lin Lan got up, put on her robe, and opened the wooden window. In the soft red light of the lantern, An Feng was leaning against a wooden pillar, playing the flute. Hearing the window open, he looked up and smiled at Lin Lan, “Did I wake you?”
“Playing the flute so late – aren’t you afraid of being reported for disturbing the peace?” Lin Lan said irritably.
An Feng looked serious, “I was actually trying to call you out with the flute!”
Lin Lan was stunned. After their days together, she could see An Feng was interested in her, but she never expected him to be so direct! Her cheeks felt like they were burning. She glared at him, “Can’t this wait until tomorrow?”
An Feng jumped down gracefully, walking to her window, his eyes sparkling, “Because this line sounds more romantic at night!”
Lin Lan looked at him for a while, then slowly went downstairs.
They found a riverside restaurant, went up to the second floor, ordered a pot of hot yellow wine and a few local dishes. Luo Xuan looked deeply at Lin Lan, seeing her calm and peaceful demeanor, and couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you going to ask about my intentions?”
Lin Lan smiled, “Isn’t it about divorce? We should at least finish this meal first, right?”
Luo Xuan was greatly surprised, “You agree to the divorce?”
“Who said I agreed?” Lin Lan looked at him with a half-smile, his delighted expression making her gnash her teeth in anger.
Luo Xuan’s face darkened: “Didn’t you just say…”
Lin Lan quickly interrupted him, “I just said we’ll talk after finishing this meal!”
Luo Xuan was stunned, and could only stop and bury himself in eating.
Lin Lan’s heart was filled with mixed emotions. She knew that this time, he was serious, and she must make a choice! But how could she be willing to let go so easily? It was as if something had exploded in her heart, with blood flowing out, and she only felt immense pain!
After finishing the meal, the two walked slowly in the corridor. The whole way was silent.”
Luo Xuan suddenly said, “Lin Lan, have you been happy these past two years?”
