She packed her bag and quietly followed him out.
Under the weeping willow tree in the corner of the campus, the evening wind was gentle and soft, blowing the willow branches slightly. Jin Chen stopped and turned to Zi Wan to tell her the reason why he was looking for her.
âZi Wan, Yan Yan wants you to come over for dinner. Are you free tonight?â
âI have time. However, was this really okay? Will I be disturbing you?â Zi Wan knew that people in the city had many rules. She was new here and didnât know if it was good for her to go to someone elseâs house.
âI wonât disturb you. She still likes you very much!â
âAlright then.â Zi Wan agreed.
Jin Chen looked down at the time and said, ââItâs getting late. Letâs set off now.â
Zi Wan nodded, but she didnât want to go out with Jin Chen. Instead, she said to him, ââMs. Smith, can you wait for me at the school gate? Iâll go back to the dormitory to put my bag down first. Iâll be out soon!â
âAlright.â
After Zi Wan got the approval, she hurried back to the dormitory. When Du Ruo arrived, she saw Zi Wan turn around and leave while Jin Chen walked towards the school gate alone.
Was her suspicion wrong? Du Ruo doubted herself. Could it be that these two people had taken two different paths?
Du Ruo walked back. On the way, she met Zi Wan who was rushing out of the dormitory.
Du Ruo saw that she was in a hurry as if she was chasing someone. Curiosity drove her to chase after her again. He saw Du Ruo go out from the back door of the school.
There was a long street outside the school.
This street was originally just a street, but it gradually became a market. There were many small vendors selling everything here, including vegetables and fruits.
He saw Du Ruo go to the street to buy two fresh fruits. She carried them in a net bag and turned around to walk towards the front door of the school.
Jin Chen was waiting outside the school gate. Taking advantage of this time, he drove his car over. The car window was rolled down. He sat in the car and waited for Zi Wan while flipping through the books in his hand.
When Zi Wan arrived at the main entrance, she did not see Jin Chen. She was looking around when she heard the honking of a car behind her. She turned around and saw Jin Chen sticking his head out of the car window.
âMs. Smithâ¦â
âOpen the door and get in!â Jin Chen instructed.
Zi Wan opened the car door and got into the car clumsily. The car window slowly rolled up. Jin Chen started the car and drove away.
Du Ruo watched from afar and muttered in her heart.
What was the relationship between this girl from the countryside and Ms. Jin? The two of them looked very close, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Once this thought popped up, she wanted to figure out what was going on. So, she turned around and went back to school, then went to the lower grades to ask about Zi Wan.
Su Hanyan was preparing food at home. She informed Lu Feifan that Zi Wan was coming today and asked him to come over early to help after work.
When Lu Feifan heard that Zi Wan was coming, he switched classes with someone else this afternoon.
âMiss Su, why donât you make some dumplings tonight? Zi Wan seems to like eating dumplings. Itâs her first time coming to school in the city from so far away from home, so sheâll definitely miss home.â Lu Feifan suggested.
