Chapter 98: Tomorrow and Accident Which One Comes First

  When Lin Wan heard Jiang Zuo's words, she couldn't help but feel a little shaken. She wouldn't forget who had been encouraging and accompanying her through those days and nights of confusion, tension, and oppression, someone from the virtual network. But he played a role in her journey to the college entrance examination that was no less important than Su Yi and Jiang Zuo. So she thanked him.

  Jiang Zuo looked at Lin Wan's changing expression and suddenly understood, smiling and saying: "Lin Wan, you're really trapped, aren't you? You didn't dare to admit it before, but I just tried a little and found out."

  When Lin Wan heard this, she finally understood Jiang Zuo's intention to persuade her to make an appointment, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, her face slightly flushed, scolding: "Good girl, dare to calculate me?"

  Jiang Zuo glared at her with a straight face and a loud tone, saying: "Curiosity is something everyone has! Given our relationship, I'm doing this for nothing!"

  "Hum! Why don't you say curiosity killed the cat."

  Su Yisu had been listening to their argument and finally couldn't help but interrupt, "Ran, are you going or not? Can we get a conclusion already?"

  Lin Wan couldn't help but be stunned again, and after a while, she replied: "I'm not going!"

  "Tsk, tsk, tsk," Jiang Zuo sighed, "It seems that reason has triumphed over emotion in the end."

  Lin Wan's face was somewhat gloomy, and she lowered her eyelids, pretending to close her eyes and cultivate her spirit, no longer paying attention to the two of them.

  Jiang Zuo and Su Yuxin exchanged a glance, shrugged helplessly, and each went about their own business. The knot can only be untied by the one who tied it. Whoever's heart is tangled must personally go and untangle it. Outsiders can't help much, at most... Jiang Zuo's eyes rolled slightly as he secretly glanced at Lin Wan, a hint of a triumphant smile rising to his lips.

  She knew that Lin Wan must be thinking of seeing that legendary uncle in her heart. Her thoughts were exposed too clearly.

  The bus slowly drove through Guren Town, and the three of them got off at different stops. Until they all got off the bus, they didn't discuss anything about Uncle again, but Jiang Xiao had already thought it out in her mind. Everything was ready, just waiting for Lin Luo to be the catalyst!

  After more than ten days of indulging in a life of ease and comfort at home, without knowing the date or day of the week, and even the destination, the grand plan is finally about to erupt.

  "Lin Wan! Go to Jiang City for fun!" Early in the morning, Jiang Xiao Ling had already dialed Lin Wan's phone number and yelled loudly as soon as it connected. Lin Wan, who was caught off guard, wailed and rubbed his battered ears, responding gruffly: "Jiang Xiao Ling! What are you yelling about so early in the morning? You're going to wake up the dead!"

  "Heh heh," Jiang Zuo chuckled slyly and said, "Lin Wan, are you going or not? You're not allowed to say no! You don't have the right to refuse!"

  Lin Lan silently rolled her eyes, "I've already lost the right to refuse, what's the point of asking me if I'm going or not? To cover up your *? Forget it, your true face is too obvious. No matter how much you try to cover it up, it won't change."

  Jiang Zuo still smiled and said, "Hehe, Lin Wan, since you've already seen through me. Then I shouldn't be embarrassed to continue my * either, right? The day after tomorrow at 10:30 in the morning, let's meet at Jiangcheng Station! We won't go together, it's too much trouble to wait for someone halfway! That's settled then, I'll call Su Yisu! Bye~~"

  As soon as Jiang Zuo's voice fell, Lin Wan immediately heard the intermittent prompt sound coming from the receiver, and she had to put down her phone. She shook her head helplessly. Is this guy so eager to win?

  There was no doubt that she had completely forgotten about the three people's discussion about going on a date when they were heading home.

  The day of the promise is approaching soon.

  Lin Xiao got off the bus and saw Jiang Ya and Su Yi Su sitting leisurely in the waiting room, so she hurried up to them and said, "How did you guys get here so fast?"

  Jiang Zuo rolled her eyes and pointed at the electronic screen on the wall, saying irritably: "It's obviously because you arrived too late."

  "Alright." Lin Wan had to honestly admit that the days at home were too comfortable, so she didn't feel like rushing for the bus today and did everything slowly, thus missing the previous bus.

  "By the way, where are we going next?" She walked over and sat down beside Jiang Zuo, asking directly.

  Jiang Zuo smiled mysteriously and said, "First take out your phone for me, then I'll tell you."

  "What does this have to do with my phone?" Lin Wan muttered, but still handed over her phone.

  Jiang Ya picked up her mobile phone, quickly opened QQ, found Uncle, opened the chat page, and giggled as she sent a message: "Uncle, have you arrived?"

  "Uncle replied soon: 'Just arrived, how about you?'"

  Jiang Zuo didn't respond to this, but instead handed the phone back to Lin Wan with a sly smile. Lin Wan took the phone suspiciously and when she saw the chat records on the screen, she suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Jiang Zuo!!! You made an appointment with Uncle?????"

  Jiang Zuo hastily pulled her down and whispered: "Lin Wan, in front of so many people, you should be more dignified."

  Lin Luo only then realized her own loss of composure, and looked around awkwardly, indeed seeing several not-too-friendly gazes directed at them. Her face suddenly turned red as she hastily lowered her head, saying: "I wasn't being impulsive for a moment, you guys actually kept such a big thing from me, how could I remain calm?!"

  Jiang Zuo didn't feel the slightest bit of remorse, instead he was confident and pulled Lin Wan to leave: "Lin Wan, an arrow shot from a bow has no turning back! Let's go! We'll meet your uncle!"

  "Ahh, no! I'm not mentally prepared yet!" Lin Wan grasped the back of the chair tightly, refusing to leave.

  Su Yisuo, who had been playing with her phone with her head down, finally spoke up in a low voice, "Lin Wan, if you don't go this time, there won't be such a good opportunity next time. Who knows, maybe next time it'll be you looking for him. If you're not careful and meet someone who's not good for you, then you'll really be crying out to heaven and earth! Jiang City is our own turf, isn't it?"

  "Right!" Jiang Zuo nodded in agreement, "The usually muddled Su Dajie finally has a clear-headed moment! Lin Wan, did you hear that? To avoid any regrets for you, I went to great lengths to trick...ahem, invite your uncle to come to Jiang City."

  Things have come to this, Lin Wan was nervous but could only muster up the courage to go on the date. Most importantly, she really wanted to see her uncle.

  Jiang Zhan and Da Shu's agreed meeting place was a high-end Western restaurant not far from the station. She led Lin Wan and Su Yi Su to the direction of the western restaurant, and when they were about to reach the entrance, she suddenly stopped and turned back to the two people behind her, whispering: "Let's take a look at the situation first, if it doesn't feel right, we'll leave immediately!"

  The three of them sneaked around outside the door for a long time, and because there were many tall potted plants at the entrance, blocking their line of sight, they could only vaguely see that there weren't many people inside, mostly couples, but couldn't see anyone holding the token they had agreed on with Jiang Shu. Jiang Shu felt a bit stifled, and signaled to Lin Wan and Su Yisu to push open the door and go in boldly, seeing that no one was paying attention, they quickly slipped to the side and sat down at a table near the entrance, using the potted plants to block their figures.

  "Hey, has anyone seen someone carrying a copy of 'The Bird's Collection'?" Jiang Xiangling asked in a low voice while quietly looking around.

  "Ah! Lin Wan!" At this time, Su Yisu subconsciously cried out. Fortunately, she had already made sufficient mental preparations beforehand, so this didn't count as too much of a loss of composure, and was just a soft cry, otherwise it would have already attracted the attention of everyone in the Western restaurant.

  Jiang Zuo turned back with a scowl and glared at her, saying: "What's with the big fuss? Have you seen a ghost?"

  Su Yi weakly pointed to a table in a corner ahead and said, "Perhaps it's even more frightening than encountering a ghost."

  Jiang Zuo and Lin Wan looked in the direction she was pointing, and suddenly saw a man in his 40s, intently flipping through a book with the title "Fei Niao Ji" (Flying Bird Collection) standing upright on its cover.

  "Ah! A dirty old man!" Lin Xiao exclaimed in a low, pained voice, "What about the promised 26 or 27 years old? What about the promised clean and sunny disposition? Why does he look so dirty?"

  "What's wrong with you, retreat quickly!" Jiang Xiao said in a low voice, and decisively pulled one person away, then quietly slipped out.

  The three of them ran a long way before finally stopping to catch their breath. Lin Wan cried with a sad face, "Waa... I'll never believe in love again!"

  Jiang Zuo couldn't help but roll her eyes at her and said, "Wrong, it should be that I don't believe in online dating. Love is still beautiful."

  Lin Luoluo hung her head in disappointment, "I didn't think the internet and reality were so different... Uh, are we too worldly and superficial?"

  "It was obviously him who deceived you first!"

  "Ah, no matter what, I still have to thank him for accompanying me through senior year."

  "Let's go, don't mind him, he's just deceiving people." Jiang Zuo didn't know how to comfort Lin Wei either, she was even wondering if what she did was wrong. Tearing off the veil of beautiful fantasies is cruel to anyone. However, isn't it better to know the truth as soon as possible? Hmm! So Jiang Zuo silently forgave herself in her heart for her impulsive behavior again.

  Su Yisu walked behind the two with her head down, playing with her phone while walking and biting her lip without saying a word.

  Jiang Zuo suddenly discovered her abnormality and couldn't help but feel worried, asking: "Su, what's wrong with you?"

  Su Yisu lifted her head, her hands tightly clutching the slightly hot phone, tears streaming down her face as she gazed at the two worried friends in front of her. Her vision began to blur, and she slowly raised her left hand to wipe away the tears on her face, stubbornly tilting her head back, desperately trying not to let more tears fall. After a long while, she finally replied faintly: "I think... I've also had a breakup."
