Xu Baohan read the news in detail three times. After memorizing every word, he put down his phone. He gripped the steering wheel tightly with one hand, his veins bulging. With the other hand, he called An Lan.
The call didn’t go through. She should be getting off the plane by now.
He checked her flight number. It was delayed, and she wouldn’t land in Xia City until six o’clock.
He ma.s.saged his temples.
He had repeatedly warned other legal workers not to believe these specious photos, but he couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild.
He sat quietly for a while and drove to the large supermarket near his home to buy groceries.
He had originally planned out what to buy and what to cook for her, but at this time, his mind was in a mess. He pushed the cart around the fresh area for a long time, not knowing what to take.
After wandering for a long time, the cart suddenly collided with another cart coming from the side.
“Sorry.” He pulled the cart away and walked to the other side. Suddenly, someone called out to him from behind.
“Ah Han.”
He turned around. A meter away stood a young woman in a black knitted long dress. Her long black hair hung down straight, her facial features were clean, and her temperament was beautiful and quiet.
He frowned in surprise. He didn’t expect to b.u.mp into her just now.
It had been many years since they last met. Her cheeks seemed to have become thinner and calmer. In his memory, she looked very bright and beautiful.
Perhaps she wasn’t very happy after being with Tang Zheng.
“What a coincidence.” Zhuang Tianya pushed the shopping cart closer, a deep smile blossoming on her serene face. “I didn’t expect to b.u.mp into you. Oh right, I remember that your house seems to be quite close to here. Have you… not moved?”
“Why would I move?” Xu Baohan was confused.
“After your parents divorced, I thought you would move. “Zhuang tianya sized him up. He was wearing a grey knitted s.h.i.+rt with a white t-s.h.i.+rt underneath. He also wore round-rimmed gla.s.ses, making him look even more handsome than before, he had lost some of the sharp edges on his body, making him look more mature and calm.
“No,” Xu Baohan replied calmly. “I’m living quite well here, it’s convenient for me to go to work.”
“You’re right.” Zhuang Tianya suddenly lowered her head and smiled. “It’s not like a long time ago when you were still working at smaller province, every time I went to visit you, I had to drive for a long time.”
Xu Baohan frowned. “That was a long time ago, there’s no point mentioning them. I have to go buy groceries.”
“Do you want to buy pork trotters? It’s over there,” Zhuang Tianya said as she pointed ahead.
Xu Baohan paused when he turned around. Zhuang Tianya chuckled. “Remember how you used to love pork trotters? Have you changed?”
“No,” Xu Baohan said calmly. “But I’m not buying pork trotters today. My girlfriend doesn’t like them.”
Zhuang Tianya’s body stiffened. There seemed to be something in her mind. Her organs were throbbing in pain, but she couldn’t control the smile on her face. “You… found a girlfriend?”
“Yes,” Xu Baohan said. “I’ll stop talking, I’m going to go buy groceries.”
Zhuang Tianya watched as he pushed the shopping cart towards the direction of the meat. She bit her lips hard, her eyes blank.
She just couldn’t understand why she had lost this person.
It wasn’t a coincidence that she was here today. Recently, she had been frequenting the supermarket, thinking about how she used to come shopping with him. She had been walking and walking, but she hadn’t expected to b.u.mp into him.
He did not understand, but the moment she b.u.mped into him, her mind was almost blank.
He just appeared in front of her, just like that.
