Before landing, Bo Jingshen opened his eyes and sat up. His eyes were bloodshot.

Su Lu handed him a cup of warm water. “Have some water.”

Bo Jingshen stared at her for two seconds before taking a sip of the water and stopping.

He frowned slightly.

It was not warm water in the cup, but warm sugar water…

He didn’t like drinking plain water in the past because he found it tasteless.

Back then, Su Lu always prepared a cup of lightly sweetened water for him to encourage him to drink more. The taste varied with the seasons, watermelon candy in summer, chrysanthemum crystal, or osmanthus candy in autumn.

However, after breaking up, he was too sad and no amount of sweetness could help him. Even the most bitter black coffee, he could drink it cup by the cup as if he was drinking water.

Su Lu noticed he stopped after taking a sip and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Bo Jingshen put down the cup. “It’s too sweet.”

Su Lu was taken aback. Sweet? She had prepared it according to his previous taste.

Things were the same, but people had changed.

People’s hearts could change, and so could their preferences.

The plane landed smoothly.

As they stepped out of the cabin, they could almost smell the salty sea breeze of Hai City in the air.

The young captain came out of the cockpit and struck up a conversation with Bo Jingshen.

They seemed to have a good relationship, as the captain spoke to Bo Jingshen in a relaxed manner.

“The forecast says a typhoon is coming in the next few days. There’s no way we can fly, and even if we could manage to fly, the turbulence would be unbearable for you. You should stay in Hai City for a few more days,” Yan Sui said.

“Got it.” Bo Jingshen nodded lightly.

Yan Sui glanced teasingly at Su Lu and asked in a low voice, “This is… Is there a situation?”

Bo Jingshen furrowed his brow. “Busybody.”

Yan Sui chuckled. “If something is going on, Cainan would be heartbroken. She chased after you abroad and followed you back to the country to build a future. She’s still on the plane and will arrive in Hai City tomorrow. Be a decent person and treat Cainan better.”

Bo Jingshen remained silent after hearing this, simply saying, “Let’s go.”

He then walked towards Su Lu. “The car is waiting at the entrance. Let’s go.”

Su Lu maintained her usual expression as she followed him outside. However, no one knew that she had overheard the conversation between him and Yan Sui.

At this moment, she couldn’t quite describe what she was feeling.

She knew that it was impossible for an outstanding person like Bo Jingshen couldn’t have remained single all these years. And no matter what situation he was in or who he was with, she had no right to inquire.

She knew it. However, upon hearing it for real, she still felt a slight emptiness in her heart.

“How pretentious,” Su Lu thought.

Outside the airport, a luxury car was waiting in front of Bo Jingshen.

“Get in the car.”

The car that Su Lu had arranged was parked at the back. She hesitated for a moment. “I decided not to take it. I’ve already arranged a car.”

Moreover, the two of them had not booked at the same hotel. Su Lu even intentionally asked Xu Ning to book two hotels that were a bit far from each other.

Bo Jingshen gave her a meaningful look and nodded. “Alright.”

Su Lu got into the car, and they drove towards the hotel. The luxury car in the rearview mirror was getting farther and farther away.

When Su Lu arrived at the hotel and went to the front desk to check in, she was dumbfounded.

The man who had parted ways at the airport earlier was now standing at the front desk with his tall figure. His slender fingers held a pen as he looked down, signing something.

“Alright, Mr. Bo,” the receptionist said, taking the signed slip from him and handing him the room card with both hands. “Here is your room card. Your rooms are on the 21st floor, suites 2107 and 2108.”

Su Lu stood behind him in a daze. When she heard the room numbers from the receptionist, she suddenly froze. “Wait a minute, 2107 is the room I booked.”

The receptionist smiled and said, “Are you Miss Su? Mr. Bo has already booked the room for you. I’ve given him the room card. I wish both of you a pleasant stay!”

Su Lu looked at Bo Jingshen’s half-smiling expression and the two room cards in his hand.

“Let’s go,” Bo Jingshen said.

Su Lu could only follow him into the elevator, feeling somewhat helpless. It seemed that all her arrangements for his plane ticket and hotel had gone to waste.

“I didn’t think you needed my assistance,” Su Lu said. “You seem to be capable of arranging everything on your own.”

“If you didn’t play tricks, I wouldn’t mind listening to your arrangements,” replied Bo Jingshen. “But… the Wanli International Hotel in the High-tech Zone? Why didn’t you just book a hotel in the neighboring city?”

Su Lu cleared her throat. The hotel she had booked for him was indeed quite far, almost an hour’s drive from here.

“Well… I thought that the technology exhibition you’re attending is in the High-tech Zone, so I booked a hotel there to make it more convenient for you.”

Upon hearing this, Bo Jingshen chuckled.

The next moment, Su Lu was caught off guard as she was pressed against the elevator wall.

The man’s warm breath brushed against her face.

“Su Lu, you don’t have to be so wary of me, as if I’m a thief. Do you think I would devour you?”

Su Lu’s mind flashed back to that night at Yunding, and she thought to herself, “Well, you have ‘devoured’ me before.”

Just then, Bo Jingshen’s phone rang.

“You have a call,” Su Lu said, trying to free herself.

However, she couldn’t break free. Bo Jingshen held his phone in one hand and her wrist in the other.

Looking at their reflection in the elevator mirror, they appeared like an affectionate couple.

Bo Jingshen’s phone screen displayed Yan Sui’s name.

Yan Sui said, “I’ve arranged the appointment with the medical beauty expert you wanted for scar removal. Hey, isn’t a scar a man’s medal? You’ve never cared about these things, but now you suddenly seem concerned. Could there be something serious?”

“Stop nagging, I’m hanging up,” Bo Jingshen ended the call.

The elevator was quiet. Su Lu faintly caught some keywords from Yan Sui’s conversation.

A medical beauty expert for scar removal…

Su Lu looked at her reflection on the mirrored elevator door, noticing the small scar at the corner of her eye.

Bo Jingshen handed her the room card and said, “Clear your schedule for the day. I’ll take you to have a look at that scar on your eye.”

Initially, it was just speculation in her mind, but Bo Jingshen’s words confirmed that the expert Yan Sui had mentioned on the phone was indeed for her.

A strange feeling surged within her, a mix of sourness and warmth.

“The First Affiliated Hospital has a renowned scar removal specialist,” he said, not waiting for her response. He furrowed his brow and continued, “You’re a woman, after all, and you should care about your face.”

His tone was resolute as if refusing was not an option.

Su Lu hadn’t intended to refuse anyway. She nodded meekly and replied, “Okay.”

After retiring to their respective rooms, Su Lu lay down on the soft bed and gazed at the ceiling, exhaling deeply.

Bo Jingshen’s pale face, resulting from his fear of flying, resurfaced in her mind.

“What exactly… have you been through?”

Her heart, which had never been able to stay completely indifferent toward him, seemed to be faltering even more.

So, she prepared herself and got ready to go out for dinner.

Su Lu stood in front of Bo Jingshen’s suite and hesitated.

Should she knock on the door and invite him along?

Just as she wavered, the door in front of her opened.

Bo Jingshen glanced down at her and asked, “What’s up? Why didn’t you knock?”

Su Lu pursed her lips and said, “I’m going to eat. Do you want to…”

“Let’s go,” Bo Jingshen interrupted, lowering his head to type a message on his phone. Then, he walked out and closed the door behind him. “Where are we eating?”

Meanwhile, Yan Sui, who had been waiting at the lounge for Bo Jingshen to join him for a drink and a chat, received a message.

“I have something urgent. Let’s do it another day.”
