Lin Xiaowan looked as though she was trying to figure out whether Xiao Han meant what he said or if he was angry. She asked tentatively, “1 really don’t have to draw anymore?”

As soon as her voice fell, her phone began to ring. With this, she longer cared about what Xiao Han thought. She smiled flatteringly at him before she rose to her feet and went to the side to retrieve her phone. When she saw the caller, her smile bloomed like a flower on her face. Her boredom and listlessness from earlier seemed to vanish without a trace at this moment.

She had just been thinking earlier that she wanted Huo Zheng to try the noodles from the noodle restaurant. Previously, she thought about buying the noodles back for him, but she knew it would not taste good if she had ordered takeout. Even after the chef ar home reheated the noodles, they would nor taste the same.

She felt a little unsure when she told Huo Zheng about the noodles. After all, he was used to eating the best delicacies in the world. He might not be willing to accompany her to eat in such an ordinary restaurant. However, contrary to her expectations, as soon as she mentioned it to him, he agreed readily. He was also curious about the noodle restaurant she frequented during her lessons.

Ever since she ate at the noodle restaurant, she returned every time she had lessons. She was the kind to eat the things she liked over and over again until she had enough.

Lin Xiaowan knew that Huo Zheng was calling her because it was almost time to pick her up. She asked, “Are you here? Or are you just leaving? There aren’t many parking spaces near the restaurant. Why don’t you park near rhe studio, and we’ll walk there?”

“Okay. I’m only on my way now…”

After a while, Lin Xiaowan returned to her seat happily.

Now that Lin Xiaowan had ended the call, Xiao Han asked tentatively, “Based on your phone call, it seems like you have plans after this?” n0𝑣ℯ𝑙𝗎𝑠𝒃.𝑪0𝚖

Lin Xiaowan replied, “Yes. Do you want to join us for a meal? I’ve told him about you so he knows all about you.”

After her first lesson, Lin Xiaowan had told Huo Zheng about her mistaking Xiao Han for a woman. He also told him that Xiao Han had graduated and was someone with a bright personality.

Xiao Han was slightly surprised when he heard her words. After a moment, he asked, “Is he your friend or…”

“Hmm…” Lin Xiaowan thought about it for a moment, biting the pencil before she said, “1 guess you can say that he’s my boyfriend.”

Although Lin Xiaowan told Huo Zheng to pursue her first, in front of others, she still gave him an identity. In any case, Huo Zheng did not have to know about it. Moreover, although he was pursuing her, the way they interacted did not change at all.

Thinking about this, Lin Xiaowan suddenly added, “However, he’s in the process of pursuing me. I can t let him know that I’ve already acknowledged him as my boyfriend. Otherwise, he’ll be complacent.”

“I thought you were single,” Xiao Han blurted out, surprised.

“Ah?”

Lin Xiaowan instinctively raised her hand to show him her ring as she said, ‘Tm wearing a ring.”

She did not understand why he would think she was single.

“I didn’t notice,” Xiao Han said awkwardly. After all, her ring was plain and ordinary. Many people wore rings so he assumed it was just an accessory.

Apart from surprise, there were some subtle feelings in Xiao Han’s heart as well. It felt as though his bubble had burst after listening to her words.

Huo Zheng arrived very quickly. He sent Lin Xiaowan a message when he was outside the studio.

Lin Xiaowan completely forgot about her lesson as soon as she learned that Huo Zheng had arrived. She happily packed her things as she asked, “Senior Brother, do you want to eat with us? Let’s go and have some noodles! ”

Xiao Han struggled for a few seconds. In the end, he could not suppress the curiosity in his heart. He really wanted to see what kind of person Lin Xiaowan¹ s boyfriend was. He wanted to go, but he felt embarrassed. As such, he asked, “You’re going to eat with your boyfriend… Is it really okay for me to join both of you?”

Lin Xiaowan did not think too much of Xiao Han’s words. She replied casually, “Why is it not okay? You’re just joining us for a meal.”

After a moment, she added, “When you meet him later, don’t let him know 1 referred to him as my boyfriend. He’s not done pursuing me yet. His surname is Huo. I think you should be about the same age as him. How old are you?”

Xiao Han helped her carry her bag and replied, “I’m 26 years old this year.”

Lin Xiaowan looked at him in surprise before she sized him up. “I couldn’t tell at all. You look quite young, like a university student. Huo Zheng is turning 27 soon. You don’t look the same age at all. Has your birthday passed?”

“Yes, my birthday is in the first month of the lunar year,” Xiao Han replied. After listening to Xiao Wan’s description of Huo Zheng, he became even more curious.

“Oh, that’s pretty early,” Lin Xiaowan said, bouncing down the stairs.

When they emerged from the studio, Lin Xiaowan sprinted over and pounced on Huo Zheng who was waiting for her by the car, giving him a big hug. After that, she gave a brief introduction.

“This is my senior brother, Xiao Han.”

As soon as they appeared, Huo Zheng had already discreetly sized Xiao Han up. He smiled politely and extended his hand as he said, “I’m Huo Zheng.”

Xiao Han smiled, revealing his canine tooth. He looked like a very bright and sunny boy as he said, “I heard a lot about you from Junior Sister. She said that we re about the same age, but we don’t look like it at all. I was very curious. However, I understand what she meant now. Mr. Huo looks promising and capable, unlike me. We re about the same age, but I’ve still yet to make any achievements.”

Huo Zheng did not think much of these words and said perfunctorily, “You’re overpraising me.”

Lin Xiaowan did not like small talk the most. She knew it was necessary but she found it boring. She was worried the two would continue chatting here so she urged, “Come on. Let s go and eat.”

Out of habit, Lin Xiaowan held Huo Zheng’s hand and chattered on and on about how delicious the noodles were. She would also ask for his opinion every once in a while.

The lady boss of the noodle restaurant was already familiar with Lin Xiaowan. When she saw the latter, she greeted the latter in a familiar manner, “You’re here early today.”

“Yes,” LinXiaowan said with a nod. She looked at the menu and discovered two new spring dishes: the classic braised meat noodles and eggplant sauce noodles. Although she did not understand what the two new dishes had to do with spring, she was still very interested in trying them.

The lady boss asked, “What do you want to ear today?” Then, she glanced at Huo Zheng, who was standing next to Lin Xiaowan, before she asked, “You brought a new friend today?”
