Chapter 1018: She’s Numbing Herself

However, when he chased to the lobby on the first floor, he still didn’t see Wen Duoduo’s shadow, and he couldn’t help but wonder if he was mistaken.

No! That’s not right!

If he was mistaken, then how could he explain the thermal container just now?

She must have been here!

And not long ago!

Lu Jinyan did not give up. He rushed out onto the street and looked around but still didn’t see Wen Duoduo’s shadow, so he took out his phone to call her.

...

Not long after Wen Duoduo left the hospital, her phone suddenly vibrated, and the melodious ringtone sounded. The phone screen displayed the name ’Lu Jinyan’.

Her heart began to race uncontrollably.

Staring at the name continuously jumping on the screen, while her heartbeat intensified, Wen Duoduo remained exceptionally calm.

She didn’t really want to answer the call, so she decisively hung up.

But the phone kept vibrating, the ringtone continued to play, and after a long period, it finally stopped; soon a text message alert sounded.

She glanced at the phone screen, it was a short message: [Call me back after seeing the message.]

Wen Duoduo bit her lip, staring at the words on the screen, her mind was in chaos.

She suddenly felt a little discouraged.

Actually, all along, there has been a gap between her and Lu Jinyan, not that she couldn’t see, but she deliberately chose to ignore it.

In simple terms, she was just numbing herself.

The cliché scenario of a rich young master and a common girl that only happens in TV dramas and novels, a romantic segment countless girls long for.

She was no different, eagerly hoping it was a dream that would never end.

If it weren’t for Ning Wan’s appearance breaking the quiet of reality, she probably would never have woken up from this dream.

She also remembered there was an online joke that said—

The heroine abandoning the underdog to be with the rich and handsome is in mainland dramas, the heroine rejecting the rich and handsome to choose the underdog is in Korean dramas, the rich and handsome pretending to be an underdog, pursuing the heroine and then revealing their identity is in Taiwanese dramas, the underdog becoming rich and handsome, and being chased by many heroines is in Hong Kong dramas; a bunch of underdogs mocking the rich and handsome is in American dramas; an underdog stealing the heroine from the rich and handsome and then dancing joyfully together is in Indian dramas.

And herself, which drama was she acting in?

Hong Kong drama? Taiwanese drama? Mainland drama? Or a collaboration across three regions? No matter how she saw it, it was all a farce.

Even Cinderella should wake up at 12:00, yet she foolishly lingered in this dream, unwilling to wake up.

Wen Duoduo thought languidly, suddenly unable to move.

Beside her, there was just a breakfast shop. She had rushed out early, focused on making breakfast for Ning Wan, and hadn’t eaten a bite herself. Now she was really a little hungry.

Suddenly, she felt the urgent need to fill her stomach and then expel all negative emotions.

With this thought, Wen Duoduo took a deep breath and stepped into the breakfast shop.

"Boss, I’d like a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup, steamed buns, fritters, soy milk, shrimp dumplings..."

She haphazardly ordered a bunch of food, then found a relatively empty seat and sat down.

The breakfast shop was bustling with people, most of them were family members of patients from the hospital, some were nurses working there, yet the shop was not chaotic at all.

In no time, the shop staff brought the items Wen Duoduo ordered one by one, with so much food that it filled an entire table.
