Chapter 88: Yu Zhan’s Apartment
The two girls beside Liu Man, who flew on the same plane as she said, “Look at that man over there. He’s so handsome!”
“I’ve been noticing him from far away, and I thought he was a celebrity. But now that we are up close, he doesn’t seem to be one.”
“I think he’s even more handsome than some male celebrities. Actors in movies could be faked, they could have make-up on, and they could be edited to look good, but this man is standing right in front of us. His stature is perfect, not to mention his flawless face. Normal girls would feel very pressured standing next to him. I wonder who is this male god’s girlfriend.”
She had just finished her sentence before realizing that the girl with the white luggage walked straight towards that man.
The two passersby watched without blinking.
As soon as Liu Man got close, Yu Zhan immediately went up to take over her luggage.
“Do you feel tired?”
Liu Man shook her head as she smiled, “I slept in late, and I woke up at ten.”
Yu Zhan couldn’t imagine how Liu Man looked like when she slept in late. His heart itched; he really wanted to see…
He tried to distract himself, “You don’t seem surprised when you see me here to pick you up?”
“Didn’t you mean you’ll pick me up with that message?”
She was not an idiot. Yu Zhan flew from the capital to Shanghai on New Year’s Eve only to be with her that night, and it was obvious what his intentions were.
Liu Man felt like she did have some good feelings for Yu Zhan.
So she just let it be and didn’t reject him.
But she didn’t know if her good feelings toward Yu Zhan was love between a man and a woman. She did not know what love meant.
Because she had grown up in an environment with the same gender, so in her previous twenty-four years, she had never seen a real man.
Yu Zhan, of course, did not know about Liu Man’s complicated past. The only thing he knew was Liu Man gave him the chance to pursue her, and that was enough. Yu Zhan would not waste this chance.
“Wait for me here, I’ll be back with the car in a few minutes.”
Yu Zhan said, then quickly went to the underground parking lot.
Liu Man had one hand on her luggage while she browsed on her phone.
The two girls who were there in the airport walked out, “Didn’t you want to see how his girlfriend looks? Here she is, a fairy!”
“The girlfriend of a male god, as expected, can only be a goddess.”
“Speaking of a goddess, don’t you think this girl looks a bit familiar?”
“Of course, we’ve just seen her on the plane.”
“No, no. Not just on the plane. We must’ve seen her somewhere before.”
Yu Zhan drove his low-key Volvo and parked next to Liu Man. He got off the car, put Liu Man’s luggage in the trunk, opened the door for Liu Man, and Liu Man sat in. He also helped her fasten her seat belt, and every movement was so natural as if it had always been like this.
The two passersby were very envious. They saw the pampering look in his eyes when he looked at his girlfriend.
As they watched the car drive away, one of the girls gasped,
“I remember, I finally remember now! That girl is Hanfu Goddess!”
This was the time for dinner. In the car, Yu Zhan asked Liu Man whether she wanted to pick up Daylight first or have dinner.
Liu Man wanted to see Daylight, so she chose to pick Daylight up first.
In the end, Yu Zhan told her to choose to have dinner first.
“You still need to have dinner after you pick up Daylight. Are you going to bring her to the restaurant?”
“Daylight’s having a good time at my house, and she has developed a deep relationship with Paul. If we suddenly separate them, both of them would be sad.”
Yu Zhan had many reasoning.
“Since you’ve already decided, then why bother asking me?”
Liu Man felt melancholy.
Yu Zhan felt helpless,
“I thought you would pick dinner first, but you went against logic.”
“…”
Yu Zhan sneaked a look at her, and seeing that she wasn’t angry for real, he sighed out of relief and continued to say,
“There are lots of restaurants near my house, but they are mainly western ones. Do you eat western food?”
Western food?
Liu Man searched through the memories from this body and, instantly, uncooked meat, vegetables, cheese, butter, and strange-tasting food floated into her mind.
“No, I have a Han appetite,” Liu Man’s reaction was very bold.
Yu Zhan had heard of Chinese appetites, but what was a Han appetite?
Appetites that only Han people had?
“There is a Chinese restaurant, but we will have to drive for a longer distance,” Yu Zhan turned the wheel and headed in another direction.
Yu Zhan’s home was in a luxurious area with luxurious residences and luxurious restaurants. Yu Zhan took Liu Man to a Chinese restaurant like a garden in the sky. Sitting on the top floor with huge glass windows, they could overlook the night view of the entire capital city. The neon lights flashed under the feet, and the stars were shining above them. It was indeed a place suitable for couples.
Unfortunately, Liu Man had her whole mind on her kitten and did not notice this romantic place. She concentrated on eating her meal and didn’t talk at all, wasting Yu Zhan’s hard work.
After dinner, Yu Zhan brought Liu Man to his apartment. Liu Man knew his address from mailing him her calligraphy work last time. But when she got there, she finally understood why the original owner of this body thought this place as the rich area.
Yu Zhan’s apartment building had three security systems:
The first one was a metal, European style door. The door automatically pulls open when his car got near. Behind the metal doors was a small garden, and three tall apartment buildings, each with thirty floors, stood in the middle of it.
The second security system was the facial recognition device at the entrance of the parking lot. The door only opened when it recognized the car owner as Yu Zhan. This underground parking lot was carefully designed; even the walls and the floors were expensive ceramic tiles.
The third security level was the fingerprint verification at the entrance of the elevator. The doors only opened when Yu Zhan’s fingerprints were verified, and there was another verification system when he pressed on the buttons inside the elevator.
Yu Zhan told Liu Man, “There’s only one apartment on every floor, and there is no other door in between the elevator and the rooms, which is why there are many security systems to ensure safety.”
Liu Man considered herself as someone who had been living under a rock. Even the original Liu Man hadn’t seen such a luxurious place, not to mention Liu Man herself was from ancient China.
Yu Zhan’s home was on the top floor of the building. A black shadowed rushed towards the duo as soon as the elevator doors opened. Liu Man was intimidated and jumped back, but Yu Zhan, as if he had predicted this, opened his arms to catch the dog.
Paul, stretching out his long tongue, licked his owner’s face madly, “All right, all right. Stop licking me,” Yu Zhan looked as if he was disgusted, but he still meticulously and affectionately pulled the dog’s head away from himself.
Paul huffed, stretched out his tongue, and looked at his owner subserviently.
“Meow~~~”
It was from Daylight!
Liu Man lowered her head to see the kitten, who had come up to her feet out of nowhere. She was raising her head and looking at Liu Man with her big watery eyes. She then started rubbing her owner’s pants with her face. Liu Man felt as if her heart was going to melt.
