The unhappy feeling quickly dissipated while they were talking. Lou Wei and Wen Fan had a long chat while they sat at the back of the car.

 Xiao Wu, who was driving went from feeling panic to shock, and then calm down again.

If he hadn’t heard it with his own ears, he would never believe that his boss, President Lou, would apologize to others.

Perhaps, this is the power of love! Xiao Wu thought secretly.

However, asking someone to ‘take off’ over a video call and furthermore, insisting someone to “take off now” was too much. President Lou doesn’t take pity on a lady at all. Regardless, he should consider that women get shy easily.

The more Xiao Wu thought about it, the more he was convinced that President Lou is incapable of managing a relationship. This would definitely lead to problems. But after eavesdropping for a long time, he noticed that Lou Wei’s tone became more and more gentle. He didn’t get into a quarrel and it seemed like he resolved the conflict peacefully. 

Xiao Wu was speechless.

But then, he was even more convinced that President Lou’s lover is a gift from heaven!

They are perfect for each other!

Xiao Wu sent Lou Wei home while holding on to this feeling. When Lou Wei got out of the car, he looked at him with the kind eyes of those who had experienced what Lou Wei was experiencing with tears in his eyes.

Even the most insensible people could feel his gaze, let alone Lou Wei with a sharp sense. He immediately looked at Xiao Wu, after he ended Xiao Wu giving him a strange look.

“Is there anything you wanted to tell me?”

Xiao Wu rubbed his eyes and said, “Nothing Boss, I’m just feeling happy for you.”

Lou Wei, “?”

Wen Fan could hear Xiao Wu’s words, What sort of nonsense is this guy thinking again? 

He then heard Xiao Wu say softly, his voice trembling with excitement, “President Lou, are you talking to your…girlfriend just now?”

Lou Wei suddenly went quiet. Xiao Wu has been with Lou Wei for several years and Lou Wei had learnt earlier that he was a man with a good imagination. He had employed Xiao Wu as a driver because he valued his honesty and also the fact that he is a little silly. So, he had long gotten used to hearing some puzzling questions from him.

But the reason why he kept quiet was not because of Xiao Wu’s ridiculous question.

It’s because of Wen Fan’s identity. Wen Fan is a person, a normal human being. But now, he has become a floating ball system in his mobile phone who can’t even walk around freely. Even when he was chatting with him, he had to be cautious so that Wen Fan would not be discovered.

Otherwise, he would be treated like an alien.

Lou Wei felt uncomfortable when he put himself in Wen Fan’s shoes.

That was what’s going through his mind, but he didn’t say it out loud.

Xiao Wu thought he had made a right guess. He smiled immediately and said in a serious manner,  “President Lou, I wish you all the best!”

Lou Wei: “…” 

He glanced at Xiao Wu and decided not to go against him and replied, “Thank you.”

Then returned to the villa with Wen Fan.

Xiao Wu behind him watched as Lou Wei entered the house. When he thought about the boss finally having a girlfriend, he had a feeling of that of a father whose son had finally grown up.

It was hard for him to hide his excitement.

Even when he answered the phone call from Zhao Mengke, he was still feeling excited.

Zhao Mengke raised his voice on the other end of the phone and said, “Lao Wu, let’s go. I’ll treat you to a ro…roast…roasted goose!!!”

Xiao Wu who was still emotional was immediately interrupted by his stuttering, “Zhao Mengke, what are you doing?”

Zhao Mengke replied, “I’m trying to in…invite you for dinner!” 

“Why are you inviting me to dinner all of a sudden?” Xiao Wu was a little bit disbelieved. “You wanted to ask me something? Tell me the truth.”

Zhao Mengke didn’t expect that Xiao Wu was able to read his mind. He coughed slightly to conceal his embarrassment.

“Hmmm, that’s not the case, that’s not the case at all. There are just some little things I want to ask you about. So if you are able to an…answer..m..me, then please an…ans…answer me.”

 “…….What do you want to ask?”

 “Can you tell me,” Zhao Mengke lowered his voice, “Is Lou Wei seeing someone recently? I kind of have a feeling that Wei-ge seems to be in love recently.” When he is gossiping, he wouldn’t stutter at all. He speaks as fluent as a village matchmaker.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wu recalled the time when Lou Wei came back from the hospital looking disordered. Now that he learnt that President Lou has a partner, he must have gone on a date with his partner that time. And they are now still very much in love with each other. Today, even when he was in the car, he didn’t forget to do a video call with his girlfriend.

But this discovery was discovered by himself. He mustn’t tell Zhao Mengke who not only stutters but couldn’t keep his mouth shut. So Xiao Wu made a decisive decision and said without hesitation, “No, I didn’t notice anything. Beside getting to work, President Lou isn’t meeting anyone.”

Zhao Mengke doesn’t believe it. “Really? No, Lao Wu. Tell me the truth. Tell me the truth. I’ll take you to the newly opened Sea…Sea…Seafood Rest…Rest…Restau…Restau…Restaurant across the office. D*mn, why is it so hard to pronounce!”

“…” Xiao Wu: “It makes sense for President Lou to let you send text messages.”

“Hey, you.”

“There’s more.”

“Huh?” 

Xiao Wu adjusted the dash camera.

“You actually had a speech delay issue when you were a child. After going through therapy, it had gotten better. Thinking about it this way, although you are stuttering now, you are quite inspirational.”

Zhao Mengke’s mouth twitched, “…F*ck, get lost!”

Xiao Wu finally angered Zhao Mengke and got him to hang up. Meanwhile, Lou Wei was already walking toward the villa with Wen Fan.

A circular flower bed surrounded Lou’s Family villa. It separated the house from the surrounding neighbours. Lou Wei held the phone in front of him and pondered for two seconds. He then asked in a low voice, “Why did you download “Food Language” today?”

Wen Fan didn’t expect him to bring up the subject of the game when they were just about to reach the house. At first, he wanted to answer that he did it out of fun. But he had a feeling that Lou Wei would definitely not believe him. So answered honestly, “Because of boredom.” 

He looked at Lou Wei’s side profile. “I can only stay inside your phone. When you are busy with something, I could only stay inside your pocket. It’s really boring.” Not to mention that the event that Lou Wei participated in this time lasted more than four hours.

Even if Wen Fan is an otaku, he can’t stand being imprisoned in his mobile phone for so long. And since he couldn’t leave the phone to look at the outside world through the screen, this had made him reach his limit of endurance. Whenever Lou Wei went out, he could only stay in his pocket out of fear of being discovered. Whenever Wen Fan thought about the situation of living in a dark world with only a lamp that was turned on by a penguin for more than four hours today, and yet trying hard to remain calm while living inside the mobile screen, he felt suffocated.

He is a person who goes out every day. But now he could only stay inside an enclosed giant box. It was so suffocating that it could turn someone crazy.

He didn’t say the rest of his thinking. But by looking at the little man with his head drooping on the screen, Lou Wei could almost figured out what was in his mind.

Lou Wei didn’t say anything but frowned in deep thoughts. 

After attending a four hours event plus travelling on the road, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon. It was long past lunchtime.

In addition, it was Monday today. Lou Xia has already packed up and went back to school in the morning, leaving Lou Wei and Wen Fan at home. When Lou Wei opened the door and walked in, all that was facing him were the villa’s empty walls. He wanted to eat. It was either he cooked it or he needs to order takeaway.

But something was bothering his heart, so he didn’t care about eating at all. He took Wen Fan and went into his study upstairs. As soon as he entered the study, he took out a box of CD-ROMs from his pocket and inserted them into the computer on the desk. These were the videos related to Wen Fan that he obtained after he finished his speech from the school’s representative when he asked if they knew about a student named “Wen Fan”. 

Wen Fan extended his neck curiously and saw a line of words appearing on the computer screen. 

“An Qiao University’s student speech report.” 

The moment he read the title, he felt an unspeakable sense of familiarity. He recalled that he had come across that term a long time ago. Just when he was about to do a deep dive on his memories, he saw the video in the CD-Rom being played. The first frame was the summary list of all the students who did a speech at An Qiao University.
