C68 (1/2)
It was a man, not very old, only around the age of twenty. He was about the same age as Fang Jin and the rest.
Seeing this man appear, Fang Jin couldn't help but frown. He could tell this young man was here specifically for Lin Wan'er.
Although he was unhappy, Fang Jin did not say anything. After all, they were looking for Lin Wan'er, and Lin Wan'er was not one of them. If he were to step out now, it would be hard to avoid the suspicion that he was meddling in other people's business. It was precisely because of this that after thinking for a while, Fang Jin still decided to shut up.
He looked at the man who had suddenly appeared without a word.
”Lin Wan'er?” It's really you, and I thought I was seeing things! ” The young man's face revealed a trace of pleasant surprise as he spoke to Lin Wan'er.
Lin Wan'er couldn't help but turn her head to look at the young man. She looked at the young man from head to toe, and a puzzled expression appeared on her face.
It was obvious that Lin Wan'er didn't recognize this young man in front of her.
Seeing the blank look on Lin Wan'er's face, the young man couldn't help but reveal an awkward expression. He looked at Lin Wan'er and scratched his head. ”Lin Wan'er, you don't know me anymore?” I'm Huang Biao, I used to live next to you! ”
Hearing this, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but have a look of reminiscence on her face. After a while, she revealed a look of realization. It was obvious that Lin Wan'er had already remembered the boy in front of her.
”So it's you.” Lin Wan'er smiled and said softly, ”Didn't your family move away?” I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
”Yes, what a coincidence. When I saw you just now, I couldn't believe it. ” Huang Biao laughed heartily with an extremely carefree appearance.
After saying this, Huang Biao's gaze landed on Fang Jin who was standing opposite of Lin Wan'er. His gaze quickly swept across Fang Jin's face and then shifted to Lin Wan'er. He whispered, ”Lin Wan'er, this is your boyfriend?”
Hearing Huang Biao's words, Lin Wan'er's fair cheeks flushed. She shook her head and said, ”No, you misunderstood. His name is Fang Jin. He's my classmate.”
”So that's how it is.” Huang Biao smiled and nodded as a trace of relief appeared in his eyes. His face was full of smiles. He stretched out his hand and said to Fang Jin who was seated across from him, ”Hello, I am Lin Wan'er's childhood friend. I used to be her neighbor.”
Fang Jin smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything. Somehow, when she saw Huang Biao, Fang Jin actually felt a wave of disgust.
He didn't know how this feeling came about, but it had suddenly appeared.
However, Fang Jin was still able to control his emotions quite well. Although he hated Huang Biao in his heart, he did not show it on his face.
Huang Biao clearly did not have any plans to say anything to Fang Jin. After introducing himself to Fang Jin, Huang Biao turned his attention back to Lin Wan'er.
He smiled at Lin Wan'er and asked, ”Lin Wan'er, where are you going? Are you going home?”
”Yes.” Although Huang Biao was a former neighbor, Lin Wan'er clearly wasn't too enthusiastic. She still had a frosty expression on her face.
However, Huang Biao did not seem to care much. His face revealed a look of pleasant surprise as he opened his mouth and said: ”Really? That's too much of a coincidence, I'm also going back to the old place! I never thought that it would be such a coincidence. Why don't we go together? ”
Lin Wan'er didn't answer immediately. She frowned slightly, obviously thinking about it. After a while, Lin Wan'er lightly nodded her head and finally agreed.
”Alright, I'll come and get you when we get off the car!” Huang Biao smiled as he stood up and pointed at the other carriage. ”I'm in that carriage. If there's anything you need, you can come and find me.”
After saying that, Huang Biao no longer had any hesitation as he strode towards the distant carriage.
Lin Wan'er and Fang Jin did not say anything as they watched Huang Biao leave. After Huang Biao's figure had completely disappeared, Fang Jin turned her gaze towards Lin Wan'er and asked, ”Lin Wan'er, is that person really your neighbor?”
”Right.” Lin Wan'er lightly nodded her head and said softly, ”Before I was ten, their family lived next door to us. However, what makes me feel weird is that their families don't seem to see many people, except for the young Huang Biao. ”
After a slight pause, Lin Wan'er continued, ”Later on, when I was a little bit older, their family moved away and they never contacted each other again. I just did not expect to meet her here today. ”
A pensive look appeared in Fang Jin's eyes as he slowly nodded his head. After pondering for a moment, Fang Jin asked again: ”Lin Wan'er, I wonder if you sensed that Huang Biao seemed to be a little strange?”
”It's a little strange?” Lin Wan'er looked at Fang Jin in surprise and asked softly, ”Fang Jin, what do you mean by that?”
