I'll Still Love You Tomorrow Chapter 25: Is Two Hours Enough?

She adjusted her chair and stuck her head out to look, “Excuse me…”

She paused and stared at the man outside in surprise.

F*ck! Is that a ghost?

She retracted her head, rubbed her eyes and stuck her head back out.

Sheng Xian glanced down, admiring the elementary student head that moved in and out of the car window. He waited two seconds and asked, “What are you doing here so late?”

Lu Jingyan was still confused, and replied without thinking, “Are ghosts able to talk?”

Sheng Xian, “...”

Lu Jingyan regained her senses after the sentence, she looked at him and blinked, “He doesn’t just speak, he’s good looking too.”

“……”

Sheng Xian wasn’t the least bit affected by her nonsense.

He stuck his hands in his pockets, and looked down at her, repeating his question emotionlessly, “What are you doing here?”

“Ah.” She replied slowly, unsure about how to reply.

She hadn’t expected to bump into him, and hadn’t come to meet him.

She had her way with man and could spin out tales without thought.

At this moment, she could say she missed him but didn’t know where to find him so she decided to wait for him here.

But she didn’t want to lie to him.

Lu Jingyan opened her mouth, “I drove about randomly and ended up here.”

Before waiting for him to speak, she asked, “What about you? Why are you still here so late at night?”

Sheng Xian replied, “I was discussing something with a student.”

Lu Jingyan knew her boundaries and didn’t probe further, “Hop on.”

Sheng Xian was startled by the change in subject, “Mmh?”

Lu Jingyan, “Isn’t your car in the bank today? I’ll send you home.”

Before waiting for him to ask how she knew about it, Lu Jingyan laughed, ‘It isn’t just your car plate, I memorized your phone number as well.”

She seemed proud.

Just like a little kid that had finished her work and was waiting for her parents’ to compliment her.

Sheng Xian looked at her and had an urge to laugh.

He looked away, cleared his throat and forced away his smile. With a calm expression, he walked to the opposite side and climbed into the car.

Sheng Xian’s house wasn’t far from the school, and with the smooth night traffic, they reached in about ten minutes.

Lu Jingyan stepped on the brakes and gradually came to a stop beside the road.

Sheng Xian unbuckled the safety belt, “Thank you.”

Lu Jingyan turned her head and looked at Sheng Xian with arched eyebrows, "Brother, as I said, I do not like verbal gratitude, if you really want to thank me…” Lu Jingyan pretended to think for two seconds, "Just tell me the code to your house."

Sheng Xian, “...”

“You’re not willing? Alright, I wouldn’t force you, you can bring me home instead.” Lu Jingyan looked at him as though she was very agreeable. She stuck her head forward towards him, it was as though she was thinking about something, after two seconds, she asked softly, “Brother, is two hours enough?”

Sheng Xian, “...”

Sheng Xian, “......”

Sheng Xian, “............”

He realized this elementary school student had guts.

She could talk about everything.

Sheng Xian leaned back in silence for a while before reaching for the door handle.

The moment he touched the door handle, he heard a click. She had locked the car doors.

Sheng Xian frowned and turned towards Lu Jingyan.

Before he could say anything, she said, “I’ll take five minutes of your time as fare for the ride.”

Lu Jingyan shifted her upperbody back and sat back in her seat. She reached for her phone and clicked into the timer, “Just five minutes.”

“Accompany me for five minutes and I’ll let you go.”

Sheng Xian stared at the five minutes she entered into the timer and released his hold on the door handle.

Lu Jingyan didn’t say anything, she leaned on the steering wheel with her eyes shut.

Sheng Xuan didn’t talk much.

It was very quiet in the car.

There was only the ticking sound from the timer.

Sheng Xian looked forward for a while before turning towards her face.

She has very fair skin, dense eyelashes that spread out like a tiny fan, a sharp nose bridge that curved prettily at the tip.

Sheng Xian couldn’t help looking for a while before turning to look out the window.

Five minutes ended quickly and the timer went off.

Lu Jingyan opened her eyes and unlocked the car door, “Brother, goodbye.”

“Mmh.” Sheng Xian replied softly as he pushed the car door.

When he shut the car doors, he couldn’t help taking a look inside.

She hugged the steering wheel, tilted her head with a cheeky smile and waved at him, “Brother, goodnight.”

Sheng Xian didn’t say anything, he couldn’t forget how she had asked him to accompany her for five more minutes.

He didn’t feel right. He stared at her a while more and asked, “Are you hungry?”
