Yu Na picked up the phone, before she could say anything, the voice on the other end of the phone spoke first: "Miss Yu Na."
The driver's voice was husky, but it also had a hint of familiarity.
Yu Na hazily responded with an "um".
The other end was silent for two seconds, then said again: "I'm already downstairs in your residential area."
Yu Na: "Oh okay, but you... came a little too early, didn't you?" She gently probed: "Did you get the time wrong?"
Driver: "No, I didn't get it wrong. Mr. Xiao specifically instructed me to be waiting for you downstairs at 6:50am sharp."
"Alright."
She would just have to go to school early.
Yu Na didn't even have time to put on makeup, she just applied some lipstick, then grabbed her bag and hurried downstairs.
When she got downstairs, she immediately saw a shiny, expensive-looking black sports car.
Leaning in front of the passenger seat was a tall, handsome man, dressed in a gray hoodie, black pants, a simple, casual outfit, but one that still exuded an aura that could not be ignored.
It matched perfectly with this luxury car.
Just look, such a beautiful, heart-fluttering scene for a young lady.
But Yu Na was so angry she wanted to go rip him apart.
Because this driver was Xiao Chen!
He had deliberately changed his voice to trick her just now, and had so easily fooled her, an inexperienced girl.
She had noticed the voice sounded a little familiar, but it still had quite a big difference from Xiao Chen's real voice.
This guy was really good at acting.
Xiao Chen was extremely elated that she had so easily and effortlessly jumped into the trap he had laid.
He shamelessly put on an act, "Miss Yu Na, please get in."
Yu Na: "......"
She walked up to Xiao Chen and angrily punched his chest, "You tricked me again!"
"Who tricked you?" Xiao Chen casually said: "It's your fault for not asking the driver's name, so how can you blame me?"
Yu Na was rendered speechless by this retort.
She really acted like her old childish self, standing in front of the passenger seat, arms crossed, not moving an inch.
Xiao Chen walked over to the driver's side, seeing she had no intention of getting in the car.
Yu Na was dressed in a white wool coat, looking like a noble white swan, with an aloof expression, dignified and unapproachable.
Just like before, arrogant and beautiful, standing out from the crowd, attracting attention, yet unable to be approached.
Xiao Chen was reminded of her past self, and the corner of his lips curled up: "Get in the car."
Yu Na really put on the act she used to do in the past.
She lightly glanced at Xiao Chen and airily said, "What driver opens the door for me personally?"
Xiao Chen smiled and said sarcastically, "I'm sorry, I was negligent."
As he spoke, he walked back and opened the passenger door for Yu Na.
But Yu Na still didn't react.
She pushed her luck and said: "None of my drivers would dare let me sit in the front passenger seat."
Xiao Chen: ?
He slowly closed the passenger door, "Fine, you can sit in the back. That way you can experience the service from me as a driver, rather than-"
He deliberately lamented, "A boyfriend's service."
"......"
Yu Na's heart wavered a little. After an internal struggle, she decided not to be stubborn and follow her heart, "Then then then, I'll sit in the front then..."
Xiao Chen couldn't help pinching her cheek, "Silly girl."
Yu Na got into the passenger seat a little shamefully.
But as soon as she got in the car, she saw breakfast on the side - still the familiar S Hotel packaging bag.
After Xiao Chen got back into the car, Yu Na pointed at the breakfast and asked expectantly: "This is?"
"Breakfast."
Yu Na's eyes lit up, "No wonder you asked me to come down so early!"
Xiao Chen smiled, "I originally wanted to make it myself, but-" He deliberately said: "It's my first day as a driver, I'm a little nervous, didn't have time, so I asked the chef to make a portion for you."
Inside the bag was a bottle of sparkling fruit juice, and a croissant sandwich in the food container.
When she opened the sandwich, Xiao Chen first handed her an opened bottle of mineral water and brought it to her lips, "Have a drink first before eating."
Yu Na drank a couple sips of water, then Xiao Chen took the bottle back and drank a few sips himself, very naturally.
The two of them shared the same bottle of water.
As Yu Na bit into the sandwich, she suddenly remembered that day they shared roasted sweet potatoes together before they started dating.
The corners of her lips curled up, she felt like pink bubbles were fizzing all around her.
Sweet.
On the drive to school, Yu Na laughed and said to him: "If you wanted my phone number, you could've just asked directly, why go through all that trouble?"
"Wouldn't that be weird?" Xiao Chen casually said, "It'd be like asking your name after we started dating."
So that was the sneaky way he went about getting her phone number.
Yu Na poked his arm, "I'm really no match for you, we've only been together a few days and you've already schemed against me so much!"
He always caught her completely off guard.
Xiao Chen had been full of little tricks since he was a kid. This was just one of his small plots. He said: "To make every day feel fresh and exciting for you. And-" Hitting a red light, Xiao Chen took the chance to ruffle her hair, "picking you up and dropping you off from work, isn't that nice?"
"Yes it is, but won't it be very inconvenient for you?"
"How's that inconvenient at all, it doesn't even take that long round trip," Xiao Chen leisurely said, "It's not like I have to clock in for work."
How infuriating, how infuriating!
The car stopped at the north gate of the school. As Yu Na got ready to get off, her arm was suddenly grabbed by Xiao Chen, "Wait."
"What is it-"
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Chen leaned over and kissed her lips.
A "pop" resounded through every corner of the car.
Yu Na was completely caught off guard, her ears turning bright red in an instant.
Xiao Chen deliberately lowered his voice, even though there was only the two of them in the car, "Go on in, I'll be waiting here for you tonight."
"Mm..."
That kiss was like it had been given a soul, lingering in her mind the whole day. Right when Yu Na was about to forget it, it would float back into her thoughts like a reminder.
Her lips didn't droop down once the entire day.
Even in the office, after she finished going through questions with Hao Lei, Hao Lei noticed something and gossipingly asked: "Teacher Yu, could you have some good news?"
Yu Na: "Huh?"
Hao Lei: "If your lips curl up any more, you'll be able to hang a teapot from them."
Yu Na: "......"
She shyly covered her smile and pretended to sternly remind her: "Go to class!"
...
She had to supervise evening self-study today. Yu Na picked out some key error-prone question types and took the evening self-study time to go through them with the class.
After finishing going through the questions, Yu Na opened up her laptop and logged onto WeChat.
Evening self-study ended at 9:30pm.
At 9pm, Yu Na sent Xiao Chen a WeChat message: [You're really coming to pick me up tonight~~?]
Xiao Chen immediately replied-
C: [Already here]
N: [Hehe~]
N: [I miss you [sad/][wronged/]]
C: [Be good]
C: [Or I'll sneak into your school? [sneaky/]]
N: [Don't! But do you really have that skill?]
C: [How do you think I got so close with your school's gate guard?]
"......"
He really is!
Changwan was exceptionally cold this year, with temperatures plummeting below zero.
Freezing people's ears till they hurt.
After evening self-study ended, Yu Na rubbed her hands as she walked to the north gate.
Xiao Chen was standing outside the car waiting for her.
When Yu Na saw him, all the tiredness from the day suddenly vanished in that moment.
She jogged up to him, and in that instant, all concerns were cast from her mind as she threw herself into his embrace.
