I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 26

In that instant, Shi Nuan’s heart beat wildly. She really didn’t like that inexplicable feeling. Suppressing those foreign emotions, she took a deep breath and tried her best to change the topic.

“Did you enjoy eating at the small stalls outside campus back when you used to study there? I used to go to those places for supper with my friends.”

Fu Chengyan smiled slightly as his gaze fell on Shi Nuan. “You played hooky?”

Shi Nuan instantly turned red, as though she had been seen through. But there was no way she’d admit to it, so she could only refute with a scarlet face, “Of course not! We only went outside when we were allowed to!”

Seeing how panicky she was, she looked more like trying to cover her tracks. But Fu Chengyan merely smiled and said nothing. Shi Nuan also quieted down. She felt the man next to her right now was rather different from her original impression of Fu Chengyan.

The store Shi Nuan referred to was nearby Jing University, just across the road and through an alleyway. Back then, Shi Nuan would often play hooky with Yun Xiao and eat here, or sneak out together for supper after everyone had fallen asleep. Those were Shi Nuan’s happiest moments.

But she hadn’t been back to visit ever since she left for her year-long business trip.

Fu Chengyan stopped by the roadside and said to Shi Nuan, “You can head over first. I’ll drive over to Jing University!” There was no parking here.

“That’s OK, just go ahead and drive in now. I’m worried you wouldn’t be able to find the store on your own.” Shi Nuan figured that someone like Fu Chengyan probably never walked through the alleys there. Fu Chengyan wanted to say something, but paused for a moment and eventually nodded. “Alright!”

Fu Chengyan drove to Jing University’s parking lot. When he got out of the car, he saw Shi Nuan standing under a ginkgo tree with a purse hanging on her shoulder, leisurely kicking some small rocks around. Light seeped through the trees and shone on her body. As Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes slightly, time seemed to slow down.

Seeing Fu Chengyan holding his car keys, Shi Nuan waved at him and said, “Over here!”

Fu Chengyan then strode over and asked, “Wanna take a stroll?”

Shi Nuan raised a brow. Jiang City was now in its full autumn glory and students were everywhere. She thought for a moment before shaking her head. “Maybe next time.

Let’s go grab a bite. It’s just past an alley outside Jing University. If we head over before the students finish class, we shouldn’t have to wait long for our food!”

“Sure!”

Shi Nuan was more familiar with the area than Fu Chengyan was. With a few twists and turns, they arrived at the store Shi Nuan was talking about. But the situation wasn’t as ideal as Shi Nuan had described. Although classes were still ongoing, the place was still packed as it was rather small.

Shi Nuan stood outside in hesitation, wondering if she should really bring Fu Chengyan in. Unexpectedly, the latter simply walked right in. Shi Nuan quickly followed him in. She scanned the place and saw that someone had just gotten up, so she rushed over.

Shi Nuan was a bit anxious at the time, so she grabbed Fu Chengyan by the hand and said, “Hurry, there’s a table there.”

Fu Chengyan raised a brow when he felt his Shi Nuan clutching his large hand. His gaze deepened as he looked at where Shi Nuan was holding.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

But the woman didn’t seem to notice. She happily dragged him over and sat down. It was only when she noticed Fu Chengyan standing next to her that she returned to her senses. “What’s wrong?”
