Miss each other by a hair's breadth

  An Lan stood there stupidly, she didn't expect to meet Yi Shuihan in Bin City, and even more didn't expect to meet him under such circumstances.

  Yi Shuihan arrived, and the crowd parted to make way for him. An Lan was lost in thought and didn't notice until Yi Shuihan was right in front of him, at which point it was too late to dodge.

  Zhuo Bu Fan immediately reached out and took Yi Shui Han's hand, who was slightly stunned before reciprocating the gesture.

  "Haven't seen you for days, what have you been busy with lately?"

  "Ah, what a hassle, small business, but still have to deal with it."

  The circle is too small, and the narrow road meets. The two of them talk about superficial things, polite yet distant.

  Yi Shuihan didn't ask what to call Zhuo Bufan's female companion, and Zhuo Bufan seemed to have forgotten about her by his side.

  An Lan quietly stood beside Zhuo Bu Fan, not paying much attention to Yi Shui Han. After they exchanged pleasantries, she turned around and followed Zhuo Bu Fan to the other side of the seating area.

  It was actually a near miss with him, the familiar scent of cedar wood on his body carried by the evening breeze to her nostrils - sour and pungent!

  An Lan didn't fit in with this kind of occasion, so she took advantage of Zhuo Bu Fan talking to someone and excused herself to go to the restroom.

  It's not necessarily about being convenient, just wanting to get out and breathe some fresh air.

  The bathroom of Bashan Shu water is set in the pavilion at the end of the corridor by the water, very artistic and beautiful, if not for the service staff leading the way, Anlan really can't connect this corner pavilion with the bathroom.

  It's early spring, and the night wind is a bit cool. From the banquet hall to the toilet in the pavilion, you have to walk through a long corridor along the water.

  The evening wind blew, hitting An Lan's body, which was only dressed in an evening gown, causing her to involuntarily hug her arms tightly and wanting to quicken her pace, but the high heels on her feet controlled her speed.

  The pavilion was empty all around, without even a shelter from the wind. She stood in the late wind, shivering with cold, and couldn't help but recall Li Qingzhao's poem again.

  When warmth and cold alternate, it's hard to rest. Three cups of two plates of light wine, how can they fight against the wind that comes at dusk? The geese fly over, just breaking my heart, yet they are old acquaintances.

  Isn't it an old acquaintance? She and Yi Shuihan can only be considered as old acquaintances now.

  I think in Yi Shuihan's heart, she doesn't even count as his first love?

  By the time she returned from the restroom, the engagement ceremony had already concluded and the banquet had begun.

  The banquet was set up on the waterfront corridor, with tables close to the railing, and guests could dine while admiring the bamboo and watching the goldfish.

  Zhuo Bu Fan waited for her at the corner of the corridor leading to the pavilion's restroom, saw that she was shivering with fear, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "What's wrong?"

  "It's a bit cold, can...can we go back earlier?" An Lan really didn't want to stay here for another second.

  "Go wait for me at the entrance," Zhuo Bu Fan said as he took off his own coat and put it on her: "I'll go call out and come right back."

  An Lan's body trembled involuntarily, and she vaguely felt that someone was looking in their direction. She immediately took off the coat on her shoulder and handed it to Zhuo Bufan.

  "Give me the car key and I'll go warm up in the car."

  Zhuo Bu Fan's lips tightened slightly, but he still took over the jacket and handed her the car keys.
