Chapter 861: Chapter 707: Liked You From the First Glance 48
Lai Wei was speaking, always paying attention to Hai En’s expression, but apart from a momentary confusion on his face, everything seemed normal.
Then, not quite understanding, he asked, "Weiwei, what does ’closet’ mean?"
What he wanted to ask was if it was the kind of Western closet used for heating, but he was worried that using the wrong words might upset Lai Wei, so he simply asked in this straightforward way.
He looked a bit dazed, which was kind of cute. Lai Wei had tested Hai En multiple times, trying to pinpoint any discord between them. If there was even a tiny bit, Lai Wei was not prepared to continue the relationship.
If the person she liked looked at her with strange eyes, she couldn’t accept that, nor could she compromise just because of love.
Fortunately, Hai En was good, really good.
She laughed, leaving Hai En looking bewildered. Lai Wei leaned over and lightly touched his lips, "When you come to my house, I’ll tell you what a closet is."
"Okay."
He also laughed, checked the time, reluctantly held Lai Wei’s hand to accompany her to the dormitory door, "Go rest first, we’ll talk over the weekend."
"Mm."
...
"Back?" Lai Wei opened the door and accidentally bumped into Jian Dan coming out of the bathroom. She had a black facial mask on her face, looking rather eerie. Lai Wei checked out the pattern in the light and laughed.
"Little Jian Dan, does your mask have to be this funny?"
Jian Dan was puzzled, "What’s so funny? I even bought one for you."
"I think the mask looks weird." Lai Wei smiled a bit bashfully, "Is this like putting a monkey on your face?"
Jian Dan: "... I have a 40-meter long knife ready, do you want to try it?"
Lai Wei: "..."
Lai Wei went to the bathroom, washed her face, and came out wearing a funny mask too. Jian Dan mocked her, "You look really cool with this mask, don’t dislike it, it really looks good."
Lai Wei: "... I believe you’re up to something, but thanks for buying me the mask, is it expensive?"
"Just a small amount." Jian Dan patted the spot beside her, holding her phone, "Weiwei, come here, let me show you Sister Hai En and Hai Ling’s picture, so you won’t feel unfamiliar later."
Lai Wei leaned over and sat down beside her, Jian Dan handed her the phone, "Take a look."
Taking the phone, Lai Wei saw on the screen an efficient and exquisite career woman, sitting upright, with perfect makeup, exuding a full aura, and looking a bit intimidating.
She was a bit worried that her first impression meeting Sister Hai En wouldn’t go well, so she briefly chatted with Jian Dan, "Little Jian Dan, actually I’m a bit worried about meeting Hai En’s family, not sure how to balance this vague relationship."
Jian Dan paused, "What do you mean by a vague relationship?"
"Hai En and I are dating, but we might not make it to the end. Meeting everyone now, won’t it be awkward if we run into each other in the professional field later? Also, I feel that Hai En’s sister might not like a family like ours. I’m not afraid of getting hurt, but I fear dragging my mom into this."
Jian Dan thought for a moment and said calmly, "Weiwei, I think you can entrust this matter to Hai En. Since he likes you, he must have calculated all future possibilities, plus he cares so much about you. His sister dotes on him, she wouldn’t be so petty. And also...
If Hai En can’t even protect you, I also think there’s no need for you two to be together; it would be exhausting."
Lai Wei lowered her eyelashes, not speaking.
Liking someone is uncontrollable, and thinking about giving up on someone you like feels painful. She suddenly felt she could relate to Jian Dan a bit; was Jian Dan also heartbroken because it was love unfulfilled when she used to like Bo Qin?
Most likely, yes.
The two chatted a bit, washed their faces, and went to bed. Amidst the rustling, Lai Wei asked Jian Dan, "Little Jian Dan, do you still like Bo Qin?"
Lai Wei waited for a long time, didn’t hear Jian Dan’s answer. Just when she thought Jian Dan wouldn’t reply, Jian Dan’s voice came quietly, a bit muffled, also a bit heavy, "I do."
Lai Wei suddenly felt particularly sad.
...
It was a clear sky and bright weather over the weekend. Early in the morning, Mi Lu and Zhao Linlin arrived at Jian Dan’s dormitory. Zhao Linlin and Mi Lu even brought a lake green dress.
Lai Wei particularly suits lake green, wearing it gives her an elegant and cool temperament.
The long dress was waist-hugging and off-shoulder; as soon as Lai Wei put it on, her aura instantly took a qualitative leap. Jian Dan was on the side, ready with makeup tools.
