Chapter 655: Chapter 344: Just Like When We First Met_2 Chapter 655 -344: Just Like When We First Met_2 However, he had no room for choice now; he could only continue along this path.

At the crossroads, taking advantage of a red light that lasts for 170 seconds, Xu Qingyan looked for masks inside the car and just as he found three and began to tear open the packaging:

Suddenly, he heard someone in the next car, a middle-aged man, speaking loudly on the phone through the open window.

Even with the car windows between them, Xu Qingyan could hear him clearly:

“How come there are more cases?

Is that road in Longhua District impassable now?

It’s still accessible now, right?

I’ll head over now, hopefully, they won’t block it later.”

“I’ll have to detour around Fuyi Community, once you get close, you get stuck and even cars are held up.

I won’t talk anymore, I’m going now.”

Xu Qingyan sat in the car, bewildered, and instinctively put on his mask, thinking the flu situation seems to be getting worse.

...

The airport is not in Donghua District, so there’s no need to worry.

But thinking of what his leader said over the phone, Sky Light Film and Television’s progress should be slowed down, there’s no need to rush the investment.

Logically, it wasn’t really a warning; the development of Sky Light Film and Television is tied to the leader’s achievements.

Moreover, with He Guojin’s introduction, actually Sky Light Film and Television and the leader have a quite good relationship, complementing each other.

From another perspective, those words might really be a caution, not wanting Sky Light Film and Television to take a fall.

Twenty minutes into the drive, Xu Qingyan arrived at the airport with mixed feelings.

He took out a prepared bouquet from the trunk and checked his phone; there was half an hour left until Lin Wanzhou’s arrival.

However, generally speaking, flights from Dongzhou tend to arrive about 20 minutes early, and assuming no delays, this means he would have to wait just seven or eight minutes for Lin Wanzhou to appear from the airport.

Finally, Xu Qingyan saw Lin Wanzhou in the crowd, wearing a black mask and hat, dressed in a khaki long cotton coat, with a scarf wrapped around her neck.

As Lin Wanzhou approached, Xu Qingyan took out the flowers and asked with a smile.

“Tired?”

Lin Wanzhou shook her head and hugged him, being mindful of the crowd at the airport, the hug was brief.

“I’ve been waiting so long to see you, I’ve been really busy lately, Sister Yun wouldn’t let me!”

“Let’s talk in the car, get on.” Xu Qingyan interrupted her with a smile.

“Okay.”

Along the way, Xu Qingyan recounted to Lin Wanzhou what had happened recently with Pei Muchan.

In the dimly lit car, Xu Qingyan sorted out his jumbled thoughts and said to Lin Wanzhou.

“There’s something…”

The black Jaguar Paramount sped along the ring-road, the car returning to silence, a stark contrast to the atmosphere when they picked her up—like between summer and winter.

Lin Wanzhou silently watched the night view outside, Dongzhou’s scenery couldn’t compare with the bustling Capital City, appearing somewhat desolate.

The yellow streetlight drifted by, each light representing a family.

She listened dreamily out the window, echoing in her ears were the words Xu Qingyan had just said; hence she would meet Pei Muchan later.

Concerning today’s situation, Lin Wanzhou actually had been psychologically prepared.

She wasn’t really naive; she just didn’t want to confront or delve deeply.

It seemed like all three of them had an unspoken agreement not to delve deep or think too much because none of them were confident enough to clarify their relationship.

It felt like living day by day, whether in Xinghai or Capital City, Lin Wanzhou never thought about whether Xu Qingyan was with Pei Muchan when he wasn’t by her side.

Xu Qingyan was usually busy with work, so busy that it was unlikely to raise suspicions.

Lin Wanzhou didn’t want to be the one to break the status quo.

After all, the relationship had just begun, and there was a sense that whoever broached it would end up in a more passive position.

She had anticipated this day coming; surprisingly, Lin Wanzhou felt calmer than angry.

The car entered the neighborhood, the atmosphere inside still cold; Xu Qingyan himself didn’t know what to say.

Just about to enter the garage, he suddenly heard the sound of an ambulance.

A large group of people rushed out, Xu Qingyan hesitated for a moment then decisively drove into the garage.

Lin Wanzhou evidently saw that group too, and appeared somewhat astonished.

“That is…”

“Unclear for now, let’s head up first.” Xu Qingyan remained calm, “I heard there’s a flu going around in Dongzhou, entire districts almost got sealed off, just didn’t expect it here too.”

Lin Wanzhou nodded, “I heard about it in Capital City, Sister Yun told me not to wander around, I…”

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyan also felt somewhat guilty towards Lin Wanzhou, who was originally planning to spend the New Year with him.

Before the New Year, there should have been some time for them to be together, yet it was all dampened by his actions.

“I’m sorry.” Xu Qingyan said, “I will certainly explain everything, this entire matter is my fault.

Sometimes, I also feel I’m quite despicable, I’m sorry.”

Lin Wanzhou stepped into the elevator, waiting for Xu Qingyan to enter and press the floor button.

Watching the elevator numbers rise, Lin Wanzhou said with a calm expression.

“I don’t blame you, I only blame myself for showing up too late.

I could have come to you, but I hesitated for a long time, I didn’t want you to see me in that state.”

“I thought you might already be successful in your career, maybe even have a girlfriend.

I wanted to meet you looking pretty and presentable.

The closer it got, the more afraid I became.

During the time of the birthday banquet, I was so nervous I could hardly do anything.”

“Thinking what if you were married, what if you and your girlfriend were happy together, and my sudden appearance would disrupt your lives.

I don’t want to be a burden to you, nor do anything bad to you, even less so…”

Ding, the elevator arrived.

Lin Wanzhou stopped talking, she wiped her tears, checked her makeup in the mirror to see if it had smudged.

Fortunately, not too many tears had fallen; she had already thought things through on the way.

No matter how, it was much better than the ending she had originally imagined.

Upon their reunion, Xu Qingyan wasn’t in a relationship or married.

She was only slightly later than Pei Muchan.

Everything was still possible, these two years had been the happiest of her life, career, love…

she had almost had it all.

Now it was time to wake up from the dream, but she wouldn’t just give up and let go.

At the doorstep, a group of people in protective suits interrupted Lin Wanzhou’s thoughts.

Xu Qingyan was also somewhat stunned, frozen in place.

“Hello, who are you…?”

“Hello, since cases of highly contagious flu have been detected in your community, according to related management regulations, these districts will be subject to a period of sealed management.”

“Hello, how many people are there in your home?

Um, just registering some information, it will also ease our management.”

Xu Qingyan was somewhat surprised; initially when he saw the ambulance downstairs, he thought that he and the ambulance had arrived at the same time.

He felt a bit relieved, unaware that he had actually arrived first.

The noise outside attracted Pei Muchan’s attention.

Less than half a minute later, Pei Muchan opened the door and saw the group of people at the door, including Xu Qingyan and Lin Wanzhou.

Lin Wanzhou looked up and met Pei Muchan’s eyes.

It felt like revisiting the scene when they first met at the Love Reality Show, only now the atmosphere was even more tense.

The presence of the medical staff, however, prevented any conflict from arising.

Xu Qingyan felt confused, but still cooperated with the medical staff to register, stepped forward to fill out the form.

“Hello, three people total, if you can’t see the information I’ll fill it out.”

Fortunately, this was a simple registration and did not necessitate detailed information.

After completing it, Xu Qingyan handed it back to the medical staff.

“Alright, please don’t go out during this time.

The building below is already locked down.

If you need daily necessities, you can sort it out yourself or contact our staff.”

“We’ll notify you if there’s any new information, you can follow up with messages in the owners’ group.”

Xu Qingyan nodded, “Okay, thank you, much appreciated.”

Once the medical staff left, the entrance became awkward instantly.
