nIn early June, the college entrance examination had ended, and it was the peak tourist season in Beijing, so Song Fengwan’s plane ticket was ridiculously expensive. When she arrived in the capital, it was already past 11 p.m.

nQian Jiang had followed her all the way, so she wasn’t alone and wasn’t afraid.

nSong Fengwan told him not to inform Fu Chen, so he didn’t say anything.

nDuring June, the nights were cold in the capital.

nSong Fengwan was only wearing a one-piece dress, so when the wind blew, her legs trembled from the cold. But her heart felt like it was on fire, and she couldn’t suppress her excitement.

nThere was no denying that she liked Fu Chen.

nShe had never felt so desperate to see him before…

nShe missed him, so she came.

nShe simulated many scenarios in her mind about how he would look when he saw her. Before boarding the plane, she had sent him a message, saying that she had something to do at night. At this moment, when she turned on her phone, there were a few unread messages from Fu Chen.

nThe two of them took a taxi straight to Yunjin Prime Manor. It was late at night, and the streets were dead silent. Before the two of them entered the house, they heard the sound of barking as Fu Xinhan dashed out from the side.

nSong Fengwan was startled and hurriedly retreated. Perhaps because he was close enough to smell her, Fu Xinhan jumped up and wagged his tail, asking to be patted.

nHearing the backing, Uncle Nian put on his coat and came out of the house. “… Miss Song? Why are you here? It’s already so late.”

n“Shh.” Song Fengwan put her index finger to her lips and made a shushing gesture. “Where is Third Master?”

n“Third Master didn’t come back tonight.”

nA basin of cold water was poured over her, and the little spark of joy in her heart disappeared completely.

n“I’ll call Third Master. He’ll definitely be very happy to know you’re here.” Uncle Nian was grinning from ear to ear.

n“Don’t call him yet. I’ll contact him myself.” Song Fengwan wanted to give him a surprise. Since he’s not even at home in the middle of the night, then where is he?

n“Why don’t you enter the house first? It’s still a bit cold outside,” Uncle Nian said.

nSong Fengwan held her phone and was hesitating about whether to call Fu Chen. Her original intent in coming at this time was to give him a surprise. If she informed him now, she felt that there would no longer be any meaning.

nShe swiped her phone and called Shi Fang.

nAfter a few rings, the call connected. “Hello, Miss Song.” Shi Fang was surprised and shocked, not expecting Song Fengwan to call him.

n“Is Third Master with you?”

n“Third Master drank tonight, and he’s at the company now.”

n“It’s so late. Is there an emergency?”

n“No. He just wanted to come here, but he may have fallen asleep.” After all, there was a lounge set up in his office. “Since you’re looking for Third Master so late at night, should I knock on the door for you?”

n“It’s okay. I’m already in the capital. I want to find him…”

n***

nAt the lobby of Fu Chen’s company…

nWhen Song Fengwan arrived at Fu Chen’s company, it was already past 1 a.m. Shi Fang was waiting at the entrance and gave her a keycard. “Are you sure you want to go there by yourself?”

n“I can find it.” Song Fengwan had been here once.

n“Okay then.”

nWith the keycard, she entered the company without any obstruction. As it was late at night, the entire company was silent, and it was a little scary. The empty night sky infinitely amplified the sound of her footsteps and heartbeats.

nSong Fengwan walked nervously to Fu Chen’s office. This was his exclusive floor, so normally, no one dared to enter. She held the door handle, and it felt cold…

nWith a creak, she pushed the door open. Thin curtains covered the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, allowing the thousands of dazzling lights outside to shine and illuminate the room clearly.

nShe tiptoed in, feeling inexplicably nervous. I wonder what he’ll look like when he sees me later.

nAlong the way, she had already simulated many scenarios in her mind.

nHis jacket was on the sofa, and when Song Fengwan walked in, she picked it up and smelled it. It smelled like alcohol.

nShe frowned and continued walking in. The lounge was empty, and even the bed was clean and neat without a single crease. Where is he?

nJust as she turned around…

nFu Chen had unknowingly appeared behind her.

nHis body was completely hidden in the dark. With his back facing the light, she could only see a black shadow. He reeked of alcohol, and his eyes in the dark were unpredictable and deep.

nSong Fengwan’s breathing was a little rapid as she crumpled Fu Chen’s jacket in her hands.

n“Third Brother…” Her voice was soft and echoed in the empty room.

n“When did you come?” Fu Chen took a step toward her with a frown.

n“I just arrived.” Her slender ribs couldn’t hold back her pounding heart. She couldn’t figure out what Fu Chen was thinking and was a little nervous.

n“How did you get here?”

n“By plane.”

n“It’s two in the morning…”

n“I missed you.” Song Fengwan’s voice was low and a little shy.

n“You’re too bold.” Fu Chen narrowed his eyes.

n“Why did you drink so much?” Even from afar, she could smell the alcohol on him.

n“I went out with my friend. I missed you too much, so I drank too much without realizing it. I wanted to look for you overnight, but I felt that I was reeking of alcohol and was too disheveled, so I was afraid of scaring you.”

n“Why didn’t you go home?”

n“The moment I go back, I want to enter the room you stayed in…” Fu Chen reached out his hands and hugged her tightly. “I’d only miss you more.”

nSong Fengwan buried her head in his embrace and rubbed it against him.

n“It’s too late. Don’t run around like this in the future.”

n“With Qian Jiang around, nothing will happen.”

n“What if something happens?”

n“What you’re saying now is really ruining the ambience.” Song Fengwan was speechless and a little upset.

n“What should I do? Should I hug you first without saying anything when I see you?” Fu Chen pinched her face and kept feeling that this was a little unreal.

n“Isn’t that what you should do…” Song Fengwan had already spread her arms open…
