Chapter 1728: Chapter 11: Summer, Soda, Sweetness Touches the Heart

There seems to be some traffic ahead. Yan Chi maintained a safe distance from the car in front, slowly stopped the car, and handed her two tissues.

"Huh?" Jiang Ruan was momentarily stunned, not knowing what he wanted to do.

"Your hands are all wet."

"Thank you." Jiang Ruan snapped back to reality, took the tissues and casually wiped her hands. Drinking iced drinks in summer often leads to such situations, except his clothes got wet, and the damp spot grew darker, making it particularly noticeable. "Senior, I’m sorry, about your clothes..."

"It’s just water, it’ll dry."

"Hmm." Jiang Ruan nodded.

"Next time, I won’t buy you iced drinks."

Next, next time?

They’ll have a next time?

Jiang Ruan’s breathing hitched a little, feeling the soda... inexplicably a bit... hard to handle.

Even though her palms were ice-cold and red, she surprisingly felt a bit hot.

"When you left me a note as a kid, it was wetted by the condensation from outside..." Yan Chi remembered too clearly; after all, he was genuinely scared at the time.

"Hmm." Jiang Ruan didn’t remember well, but Si Yushan had mentioned it many times, so she knew the details.

"After you came to Nanjiang, why didn’t you contact me?" Yan Chi turned his head to look at her.

"Just thought you’d be very busy."

When Jiang Ruan enrolled, Yan Chi was about to graduate, and he was really busy.

"Graduation was indeed busy, but now it’s fine, not that much to do."

Jiang Ruan, always quick-witted, immediately grasped another layer of meaning.

He meant:

I’m not busy now, you can reach out to me?

Jiang Ruan rubbed the soda bottle, simply nodded quietly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

But soon the car arrived at the school entrance, "Senior, you can park here."

"No need to see you inside?"

Jiang Ruan wished she could be farther away from him, besides, this was school; if others saw, it would be over.

"Don’t you have things to do? I won’t hold you up."

Yan Chi looked over, "My task was seeing you to school."

"..."

Jiang Ruan’s breath deepened, yet heard him add: "If your family knew I let a girl return to school alone, they’d probably say I’m inconsiderate."

"They won’t, I’m getting off now." This reason eased her thoughts slightly, otherwise she’d be overthinking.

After all, those words...

Were truly ambiguous.

"Call me when you get to the dormitory." His tone was particularly familiar, as if such words he had said to her many times.

Such words, aside from family, it’s the first time a non-family member said this to her.

Jiang Ruan stiffly nodded in response, grabbed her bag and unfinished soda, and headed back to the dorm under the scorching sun.

Yan Chi watched her slightly flustered back, couldn’t help but laugh softly.

Is it necessary to be so nervous?

It’s not like he could eat her.

Yan Chi looked at the passenger seat; she had left, only his clothes remained there, with nearly dried water stains.

Water stains will dry...

But leave marks.

Along with the faint scent of soda.

Getting out of the car, the heat attacked from all directions. Jiang Ruan walked quickly from the school gate to the dormitory; the day was hot, the wind dry, making her feel overheated.

Thinking about Yan Chi’s words just now, she only felt her heart beating faster, face inexplicably starting to burn.

This day...

Was too hot!

Upon returning to the dorm, the air-conditioning was on inside. One roommate was on the bed having a long phone conversation with her boyfriend, while the other two were watching shows with headphones on. Seeing her return, they all glanced over.

"Ruan Ruan, how hot is it outside, your face is this red, going out without an umbrella." One roommate got up and took the equipment bag from her hands.

"Hurry and wash your face."

"By the way, we bought lychees and saved some for you, they’re on your desk."

...

In the four-person dormitory, Jiang Ruan’s three roommates were quite nice. Jiang Ruan put the soda on the table and went to splash some water on her face, really needing to calm down.

Thinking of Yan Chi’s request to call him back, hesitating, she sent a message instead.

[Senior, I’ve arrived at the dormitory. Thank you for today, thank you for the interview and thank you for the meal. ]

Not long after the message was sent, Yan Chi called her back.

She hurriedly grabbed her phone and went to the dormitory balcony. Her roommates were busy with their own business, seemingly not paying attention to her, so she lowered her voice and said hello.

"In the dormitory?" His voice was naturally deep, and through the phone receiver, it gained a hoarse buzzing quality.

Jiang Ruan worried her roommates would find out, feeling stealthy, made her somewhat anxious, so she pressed the phone to her ear, afraid his voice would leak out.
