Xuan Sheng wanted to open his eyes, but he was afraid that it was an illusion. Instead of being disappointed, it was better to escape. Xuan Sheng smiled self-deprecatingly.
How could Xia Wanruan be here?
"Xuan Sheng?" The voice became clearer and clearer. The restlessness in his body seemed to be soothed by this clear voice.
Xuan Sheng finally couldn't help but open his eyes. Xia Wanruan stood at the door coldly. It was clearly a rainy day today and the sky was gray, but Xuan Sheng felt that Xia Wanruan's entire body was glowing.
"Why are you here?"
Xuan Sheng quickly stood up, ignoring the wounds on his body. He had seriously injured Xuan Li, but Xuan Li had also caused him quite a bit of damage.
Xuan Sheng took a few steps towards Xia Wanruan and suddenly stopped. He looked down and saw that his Haute couture clothes had already become wrinkled in the fight, and there was even a lot of dust on them.
Xuan Sheng turned around and patted the dust off his clothes, trying his best to make himself look clean. Then, he turned around and smiled at Xia Wanruan.
Xia Wanruan glanced at Xuan Sheng. Even though the dust on his body had been patted off, the wounds on his arms and neck still made him look extremely miserable.
"Let's go out first." Xia Wanruan handed Xuan Sheng an umbrella, then opened the umbrella in her hand and walked out of the door.
Xuan Sheng held the umbrella and followed. Walking beside Xia Wanruan, Xuan Sheng couldn't help but sneak a glance at Xia Wanruan.
In the hazy rain, Xia Wanruan was wearing a loose white sweater. The high collar covered her chin, leaving an extremely gentle arc. The rain drifted into her hair with the autumn wind, spreading out a patch of ink.
"We'll bail you out first." Sensing that Xuan Sheng was looking at her, Xia Wanruan turned her head. Xuan Sheng's arrest was driven by Shengshi Group. It was only because Jun Shiling came forward that the police station was willing to release him.
Hearing Xia Wanruan say "we", Xuan Sheng's eyes dimmed a little, but he still forced a smile. "Thank you."
"Mmm." Xia Wanruan accepted his thanks. "I guess you're hungry too. There's a noodle stall outside. Let's go and have a bowl of noodles first."
Xia Wanruan was actually hungry. The news about Xuan Sheng was everywhere. Even the teachers in the office were talking about it. Xia Wanruan heard about it when she returned to the office after class.
Last time, when she heard Xuan Sheng mention the interests of Shengshi Group, Xia Wanruan quickly thought of who was behind it.
She called Jun Shiling and then came to pick him up. As she had expected, ever since Xuan Sheng got into trouble, no one was willing to help him. Even he himself had lost hope of survival.
"Oh," Xuan Sheng replied. He took a step back and followed behind Xia Wanyuan. Finally, his gaze landed on her without any restraint.
It was raining, and in addition to this …
It was only three o 'clock in the afternoon, and there was no one in the noodle shop. Only the boss was playing games with his legs crossed. Seeing that someone had come, the boss quickly started to get busy.
"Two bowls of beef noodles."
"Okay."
The boss opened the lid, and the hot air surged like a fog. Xia Wanruan didn't speak, and Xuan Sheng was also silent.
The beef noodles were quickly served, and the mellow fragrance instantly filled the tip of her nose. Xia Wanruan's eyes moved slightly. Xuan Sheng glanced at Xia Wanruan's expression, and his eyes were filled with a hint of a smile.
The boss continued to play games. There was no one outside the tarpaulin shed. The autumn wind carried the cold rain and quietly fell to the ground.
In the shed, there was mellow soup, chewy noodles, and fragrant braised beef. With one bite, it was as if the entire mortal world had been swallowed into one's stomach.
Xia Wanruan couldn't resist the temptation of the chili and put in an extra spoonful. It was so spicy that a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she ate it very happily.
Xuan Sheng really didn't like to eat for many years. To him, eating was just a carrier of painful memories. No matter how delicious the food was, it was like chewing wax to him.
But today, such a small bowl of beef noodles really made him feel as if he had a sense of taste for the first time.
He felt the mellow taste of the soup and the fragrance of the meat. Xuan Sheng swallowed his saliva. After so many years, he finally had an appetite.
Xuan Sheng picked up his chopsticks and took a bite, then a second bite, and a third bite.
In the end, he imitated Xia Wanruan and drank a few mouthfuls of noodle soup.
"What are you going to do about Shengshi Group's actions?" After eating and drinking, Xia Wanruan started to get down to business.
"I want to do it alone. Since they want to share my power so much, then I'll give it all to them."
Thinking of the group of people from Shengshi Group, a cold light flashed across Xuan Sheng's eyes. A group of old fogeys who wanted him to work hard for them to earn money, but were afraid that he would have too much power.
"Okay, we can work together."
Xuan Sheng could let those people from Shengshi Group plot in a roundabout way instead of directly taking him down because Xuan Sheng had a lot of resources in his hands. Working with Xuan Sheng could not only make money but also help him. Xia Wanruan felt that it was the best of both worlds.
