C499 Who's the Man on the Other Side of the Phone
Before arriving at Ear City, Lieh Xiaoruan had never thought that it would be such a graceful place.
After waiting for a while, Lieh Xiaoruan wished that she could knock Lieh Yuanchen out and take his identity card away, leaving him here.
She had seen Lieh Yuanchen suffer in order to run away from clients. He had to get drunk again and again in order to sign the contract. She had advised Lieh Yuanchen many times that the company was more or less enough. It was good that they could support themselves. Why must they build a business empire?
However, Lieh Yuanchen said that he just didn't want Lieh Cheng'an to look down on him.
Lieh Xiaoruan had no choice but to remember that every time Lieh Yuanchen got drunk, he would unconsciously dial Hee Wanshuang's number.
Thus, she led him here.
It was already evening by the time they arrived. Because it rained during the day, this place was filled with light fog again.
Both of their rooms were on the second floor. Putting down their luggage, Lieh Xiaoruan was a little tired and rested in her room. Lieh Yuanchen took out his phone and went out for a walk.
Recently, he had indeed lived too tired. He was just like a machine that did not know exhaustion, constantly operating.
But, he was just a machine, that's all. Because, he didn't even have any joy or anger. Tian Tian was just forcing him to keep moving forward, and somewhere deep in his heart, there seemed to be a piece of empty space.
He came down from upstairs and walked around in the vicinity. However, he found that behind the small building, there was actually an empty space.
On the grass, there was a wooden table with a well beside it. A woman, with her back facing him, was kneading dough with her back facing him.
The woman's figure was a bit delicate. The hair on her shoulder was tied up and combed into a small tail. She was wearing a rice cotton sleeveless shirt with blue ink under it. She seemed to be a local.
However, Lieh Yuanchen felt that it was somewhat familiar.
After she had finished making noodles and shaped them into different shapes, she turned around and went to the well to fetch water.
She didn't notice that Lieh Yuanchen was there. So, when the water was automatically drawn out, she washed her hands, patted them, and left.
However, in that instant just now, Lieh Yuanchen clearly saw the side of her face.
It was Hee Wanshuang.
Something flashed in his mind. Some images seemed to be rushing out, but they were firmly locked back into the depths of his memory.
She was actually here?
Lieh Yuanchen instantly understood everything.
Lieh Xiaoruan must have known Hee Wanshuang's address, so she deliberately brought him over to 'relieve his boredom', wanting them to break the mirror and reunite.
In their line of sight, the girl's shadow had already disappeared, and on the table, there were more than ten round pastries neatly arranged.
It should have been made from some juice, so it had a color to it, making it look quite attractive.
Lieh Yuanchen took out his phone and took a picture of the pastries by accident.
When he put away his phone, he heard the sound of clogs stepping on the limestone.
His heart moved and he quickly went to a corner.
Hee Wanshuang came back with a bamboo tray in her hand.
She walked to the table and placed the pastries on the leaves on the bamboo tray. After putting them away, she looked at the time on the watch on her wrist and sat down. She picked up the vines from the ground and began to weave them.
It was very quiet around, and there was only the occasional sound of insects in the distance. Lieh Yuanchen stood in the corner and could see Hee Wanshuang's face from this angle.
She looked very quiet, and there was a smile on her lips. It seemed that she was in a good mood.
It was quite good. Although he couldn't remember everything, he knew that she should be very relaxed here. It was much better than being with him.
He couldn't give her anything. Especially now that his career had been ruined... He couldn't even shield a woman from the wind and rain.
He saw her carefully weaving until the sky became darker and darker. Then, a small and delicate basket appeared in her hands like magic.
She should also love beauty. After weaving it, she went to the side to pick a flower and put it on the bamboo basket.
After looking at it for a moment, she seemed to feel that one flower was too little, so she went to pick it again.
Lieh Yuanchen lowered his head to look at the wild flower in front of him. He had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, in the next second, Hee Wanshuang had already seen him. She lifted her foot and walked towards him.
She approached him little by little. For some reason, his heart was moving along with her footsteps.
Until he had already decided to walk out by himself.
At this moment, Hee Wanshuang's phone, which was placed on the wooden table, rang.
She hesitated for a moment and quickly turned back to answer the phone.
Very soon, the phone was connected. She heard that no one was talking on the other side.
She was somewhat puzzled. She lowered her head to look at the caller ID. It was Yi Cheng's number, a landline.
She asked, "Is it Xiao Cheng?"
Two seconds later, the man opened his mouth. "Yes."
Hee Wanshuang did not know what to say, so she asked, "Are you at the HPP bar?"
He said again, "Yes."
This time, Hee Wanshuang really did not know how to continue.
Both of them were silent until Xiao Cheng said, "It's very delicious."
Hee Wanshuang immediately understood what he said. Her tone was relaxed. "How did you know I sent it?"
This time, the young man did not hold back anymore and said, "Only you dare not sign the name of the things you sent, Hee Wanshuang."
Hee Wanshuang also felt a little awkward and smiled. "If you like to eat, I will send some more to you when I have it later."
"Okay." Xiao Cheng paused and said, "We are going to perform again in a while."
Hee Wanshuang said, "Then you are busy. I will hang up first."
However, Xiao Cheng interrupted her. "Don't hang up. Listen, I will go on stage."
When he finished speaking, he really heard footsteps.
After that, Hee Wanshuang heard Beth's voice. Then, the guitar, the keyboard, and the drummer all came over.
Through the cold phone, she heard the voice from another world in this world that was far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
After that, it was a familiar male voice. It was exceptionally penetrating, deep and pure, ringing in her ears.
Hee Wanshuang could not help but raise the corners of her lips slightly. Xiao Cheng's singing skills seemed to have improved a lot compared to before!1
She simply sat down and quietly listened by the wooden table.
Because the surroundings were very quiet, Lieh Yuanchen, who was in the corner, could hear what Hee Wanshuang said clearly.
He did not know who that Xiao Cheng was. However, he could tell that it should be a man.
Was he her friend?
That was why she smiled? Was that why she was so relaxed?
And what did the person on the other side say? Why did she stop talking and just sit there and listen?
Lieh Yuanchen realized that as more and more questions popped up in his mind, his heart was gradually filled with congestion.
This feeling quickly spread to his throat, causing his breathing to stagnate.
He clenched his hands into fists, and it took him a long time to convince himself that he did not go out.
They were already divorced. No matter who she called or even fell in love with, he had no right to interfere, right?
