Chapter 329 - 329: Long-Distance Relationship
Lin Wan’s face turned red. There were so many people here, and this man was being so shameless!
“Oh my god, you two! Get a room!” said Yang Ruoxi.
Lin Wan picked up two buns. She put one in Li Yanchen’s hand and the other in
Yang Ruoxi’s hand. “Let’s go out!”
Yang Ruoxi nodded and headed out of the kitchen with Lin Wan.
Lin Wan turned on the television in the living room.
“Li Yanchen, are you here to take Lin Wan away? I still haven’t finished talking with her,” said Yang Ruoxi.
“Wanwan, do you want to go back?” asked Li Yanchen. He was okay with whatever she wanted to do.
“I am fine with whatever. I don’t have plans for tomorrow morning, but Mr. Li, don’t you have work tomorrow? You need to wake up early if we stay here.” “That’s alright. I don’t have much work these days, so I can go a little late. secretary Han ana ASSIStant um can nanale tmngs ror now.” Ll yancnen 100Kea at Lin Wan. He understood that she wanted to stay here tonight. “Then, is it okay if we stay here tonight?” asked Lin Wan.
“Of course.”
Yang Ruoxi suddenly felt like a third wheel everywhere she went. In the kitchen, there was her father and Auntie Bao. Here, Li Yanchen and Lin Wan. She didn’t have anyone here.
Yang Ruoxi sighed. “No need to be so sweet. Consider the feelings of someone who is in a long-distance relationship, will you? I feel like a miserable single person right now.”
“I heard that distance makes the heart grow fonder… or something along that line.”
Lin Wan knew that Yang Ruoxi’s current boyfriend lived in another city.
“Really? I wouldn’t survive like that. I even take Lin Wan on business trips if I can help it,” said Li Yanchen.
Yang Ruoxi felt even more miserable now. “Are you saying I should break up and find someone who lives close by?”
“Of course not. He doesn’t mean that.” Lin Wan glared at Li Yanchen.
Lin Wan had only seen Yang Ruoxi’s boyfriend in videos. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was a head taller than Yang Ruoxi.
Yang Ruoxi was from the south, while her boyfriend was from the north. Apart from the distance, they shared entirely different cultures.
However, Yang Ruoxi was hopeful. She had dated a foreigner before, and they had completely different cultures too. She hadn’t broken up with him because of that. It was something else.
“Tiantian’s fine. He wanted to come over when we returned home, but I refused. I told him to go and meet his parents first because I wanted to be considerate.” Yang Ruoxi sighed again.
“His name is Tiantian?” asked Lin Wan.
“Yes. I even sent him a video of us eating steamed buns. He said he wanted to be with me. He lives too far away from me. I feel bad for him. We are going back to the university in a few days anyway. I want to spend time with my family before going back.” “When are you going back?” “After New Year’s Day.”
There was still a week left.
“Tiantian’s grandparents are almost ninety years old. He’s their only grandson, and he’s overseas all year round. Although I really want him to stay in Yun City, I can’t be that selfish. I guess I’ll be alright. We just can’t touch each other, that’s all. Otherwise, it’s no different on a video call.”
“Isn’t it difficult not getting to touch each other?” asked Li Yanchen.
Lin Wan stuffed a steamed bun in his mouth. “Chew properly. You shouldn’t be talking while eating. You’ll choke on the food. Be careful.”
He was comfortable talking with Yang Ruoxi. She was practically family. If Lin Wan didn’t stop him, she was afraid he might blurt out something stupid. That night, everyone felt too full. They ate the buns as they took them out from the steamer. They couldn’t even move.
Li Yanchen, Lin Wan, and Yang Ruoxi decided to take a walk around the village in the cold.
Tiantian called Yang Ruoxi. She jumped in happiness.
“Bao’er,” said Tiantian when the video call connected. The network wasn’t very strong. “Did you miss me?”
Li Yanchen and Lin Wan covered their mouths and tried not to laugh.
Yang Ruoxi’s phone was on speaker. She hurriedly put her earphones in. “I’m taking a walk with Lin Wan right now.”
“Hm… Did you miss me?” he asked again.
Yang Ruoxi glanced at Lin Wan from the corner of her eye. “Yes,” she said softly.
“Bao ‘er, my parents went on a trip along with my grandparents. Apparently, the trip is for the elders only. I didn’t get to go. I’m home alone and lonely,” he lied.
Tiantian was already at Yun City airport. He wanted to see if Yang Ruoxi wanted him to come to visit her.
He had traveled thousands of miles to visit the hometown of the girl he liked because he missed her too much.
“You’re home alone?”
“Yes. If I had known that my family had planned a trip, I would have gone to your place with you. I have never visited the South before. It’s so cold here. It’s -10 degrees Celsius.” Tiantian sneezed.
“Are you outside? Why is there a wall behind you?”
“I came outside for some fresh air. Is it cold there?”
“It’s cold but not as cold as it is there. Look at the frost on the vegetables,” said Yang Ruoxi as she switched the camera to show him the vegetable garden.
“Bao ‘er, I really want to be with you.”
“When is your family coming home?” Yang Ruoxi asked.
“I don’t know. They said they might not even make it back on the day I leave. I’ll have to leave for Country Y all alone.”
“Why don’t you come to Yun City? We can go together,” said Yang Ruoxi.
“Really? Will you take me to see your father and your grandmother too?” Tiantian smiled.
“My dad doesn’t know that I have a boyfriend yet. Stay at a hotel for a while. After I tell him, you can come to visit,” said Yang Ruoxi. She had been hiding her relationship from her father..
