A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 18 Come down to see me tonight
The initials of his name in pinyin.

Tang Wanwan's finger hovered over the "Request to Add as Friend" button, but she hesitated to press it.

She couldn't make up her mind when a new friend request popped up first.

The same azure sea.

The note reads: —I am Jiang Yanzhi.

It's almost a coincidence that while she was struggling with this internal conflict, the other protagonist was going through the same thing.

In an instant, Tang Wanwan's heart raced, and she quickly clicked "accept".

The chat window displayed "The other party is typing..." for a long time before sending a message.

"Jiang's Sanatorium recently received a batch of the latest equipment from Country D. Would you like to have a full check-up?"

Tang Wanwan was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, he added her on WeChat to say this.

She had undergone countless tests since childhood and had long since given up hope.

But since we've decided to pluck this unattainable flower, it's always good to have more contact with her.

Hesitating for even a second longer is disrespectful to the journey of picking flowers.

Besides, being by this person's side really improved her physical condition.

So, without even thinking, Tang Wanwan nodded and replied with a "okay".

She agreed so readily and decisively, as if the two were friends who had known each other for many years.

Jiang Yanzhi didn't hesitate and quickly replied: "Then I'll arrange a time."

Tang Wanwan looked at these words.

Even the most oblivious person would sense that this person seemed to treat them differently.

Everything was fine before.

This time, contacting her privately, bypassing Shen Xianyu, to arrange a medical check-up for her, was somewhat...ambiguous.

But this was exactly what Tang Wanwan wanted.

She waited a while, unwilling to end the conversation, and then sent another message.

Are you home right now?
This time, about two minutes later, a voice call popped up on the other end.

Tang Wanwan was startled. She looked nervously at the closed door, lowered her voice, and answered the call.

The man's cool voice, coming through the phone, took on a slightly deep tone.

He said, "I'm in the elevator now, and I'll be home in three minutes. Do you want to come over?"

"...No!...It's not..."

Tang Wanwan nearly choked on her own saliva, and after stammering for a while, she said, "...I'm not going."

That feeling of guilt was palpable.

Jiang Yanzhi's voice carried a hint of amusement, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet." This time, Tang Wanwan answered quickly.

Jiang Yanzhi hummed in agreement and stepped out of the elevator. "Come down and see me tonight... They're all coming."

The last four words were telling her that she didn't need to sneak around; she could go on openly and honestly.

Tang Wanwan's cheeks flushed.

After only a few words, how could this person so naturally tell her to go down and see him?

She realized that what they were doing now seemed like... having an affair.

They bypassed the process of getting to know each other, getting along, and being ambiguous, and finally understood each other's feelings.

They immediately entered a state of tacit understanding.

Kind of outrageous.

They only met for the first time yesterday.

Today, we jumped to…

But she accepted his friend request, answered the call, and hasn't even hung up yet, which is already crossing the line.

I heard the sound of a door opening on the other end of the phone.

They were only one floor apart...

Tang Wanwan's heart stirred slightly. She collected all her thoughts and asked him, "Are we home? Which room do you want to go into now?"

"Go to the study; there are a few documents I need to look at."

She asked casually, and Jiang Yanzhi answered naturally. It was the naturalness of someone who had known each other for many years.

This naturalness dispelled any remaining awkwardness in Tang Wanwan, making her even more direct.

"Is your eighth floor the same layout as your ninth floor?"

They are one household per floor, and all have the same area and layout.

The room may have been opened up during renovation.

Curious about this?

The man on the other end of the phone seemed to chuckle before saying, "There are a few rooms that look the same, but most of them are different. You can come down and take a look."

He really wanted her to go down.

But it was only afternoon, and Shen Xianyu was at home, so Tang Wanwan couldn't go downstairs.

The medicine she had just taken seemed to be working; she felt much better.

But compared to the state of being by his side, it's still far from being the same.

Tang Wanwan said, "Do you know where Shen Xianyu's study is? ...I'm in the room to the right of his study right now. Can you get to the same spot?"

In that case, they are only separated by a ceiling.

It's not far away.

She wanted to see if being close to them would make her feel any better.

This request was so strange that it surprised Jiang Yanzhi.

The usually composed young master Jiang paused for a few seconds before nodding, then, remembering that she couldn't see, added, "Okay, I'll go over."

The house was very large, several hundred square meters, and Tang Wanwan listened to the footsteps on the other end of the phone.

A moment later, her eyes lit up. "We've arrived?"

He had barely stepped inside when the girl on the other end of the phone seemed to have eyes; her voice became bright and clear.

They seemed to have suddenly perked up, filled with joy and excitement.

Jiang Yanzhi's eyes softened suddenly. "So happy?"

"Mmm!" Tang Wanwan exclaimed, holding her phone. "I'm so happy!"

A warm current flowed through my limbs and bones, it felt so good, all the exhaustion vanished. Even the best medicine couldn't compare to this, how could I not be happy?

As if infected by her joy, Jiang Yanzhi unconsciously smiled.

The girl was overjoyed simply because he was downstairs from her building, shortening the distance between them.

How can it not be liking?

What else needs to be tested?

She was just like him, falling in love with him at first sight.

What kind of fate can make two people fall in love with each other at first sight?

Jiang Yanzhi, experiencing the feeling of mutual affection for the first time, felt his heart soften.

"Do you want to come down?"

His voice was a little tense, "Come down, we have some things to talk about, or I'll come up to you."

"Don't!"

Hearing that he was going to come up, Tang Wanwan hurriedly stopped him, but quickly realized that her reaction was a bit hurtful, and explained in a low voice: "...Shen Xianyu is at home, I can't go down, and you...you can't come up either."

She has a boyfriend!
There was no response for a long time.

Tang Wanwan's heart jumped to her throat, afraid that the 'perfect tonic' would be lost, so she quickly tried to make amends: "You...you don't have to be angry."

“I’m not angry,” the man on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, “but Tang Wanwan… do you know what you’re doing right now?”

—Let's understand the meaning behind their phone call and these conversations.

Don't let her later say that she only considered him her boyfriend's brother and only answered his call out of politeness.

Then he'll really get angry.

Tang Wanwan gripped her phone tightly and gave a soft "Mmm," "...I know."

"That's fine,"

As long as they don't deny it, it's fine.

Jiang Yanzhi smiled, "Then shall we come tonight?"
