548: Chapter 548: Watching Jiang Ying Swim in the Water 548: Chapter 548: Watching Jiang Ying Swim in the Water Lin Fei wasn’t one to hold onto the past, unless it was something or someone that engraved a memory deep into his bones.

As time passed, he would forget everything else.

Hence, Lin Fei’s interest in class reunions was lackluster, and he was about to refuse when he heard Li Lu continue, “Bai Ya will also come.”

Bai Ya!

A name that calls forth Lin Fei’s verdant memories of youth, the rare sweet recollections.

Li Lu had hit the bullseye, speaking of the person and event that had left a deep mark on Lin Fei.

“I’ll be there.”

“Okay, we’ll get in touch later, bye.”

After putting down the phone, Lin Fei, who had felt relieved, now felt a complexity in his heart.

Meeting Bai Ya, his first love, what should he say to her?

Those dreamy memories were ultimately consumed by the savage beast known as reality.

When they would meet again, surely everything would have changed beyond recognition, the places and people no longer the same.

At this thought, Lin Fei felt an indescribable sourness in his heart and forced himself not to think about it anymore.

Turning off the light and lying on the bed, but the silhouettes of fleeting time seemed to reappear as if they were from yesterday, lingering before his eyes, impossible to dismiss.

Lin Fei tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

He took his phone and sent a message to Li Lu.

Send me Bai Ya’s number.

Li Lu replied quickly, sending him a string of digits.

Lin Fei entered the number into his phone, but his finger hovered over the call button for a long time without pressing it.

Bai Ya is doing quite well, echoed Li Lu’s words in his mind.

“As long as she’s well,” he muttered to himself, and without another thought, he put away his phone, ultimately not making the call.

The next morning.

Since it was the weekend, he didn’t have to work.

Thus, having informed Aunt Fang beforehand that he wouldn’t be taking breakfast, Lin Fei woke up naturally.

“Where is everyone?

Could they both have gone out?

That doesn’t seem right.”

After searching the study, the bedroom, and even the home gym on the third floor without finding Mu Shanshan, Lin Fei eventually made his way to the garage.

“The cars are still here.

There’s no way she’d go out without driving.

Where could she possibly have gone?”

Considering Mu Shanshan’s preference to not drive herself, Lin Fei, knowing deep down that she was probably still at home, after giving it some thought, an idea struck him, and he immediately headed to the villa’s backyard.

Because Mu Shanshan had bought a detached villa, aside from the small lawn in front of it, the backyard also featured a half-basketball-court-sized space.

“There she is!”

“Wife, I’m coming to your rescue.”

Lin Fei’s string of concerned rebuttals, however, did little to improve Mu Shanshan’s mood.

He nodded seriously and soberly, “Clearly, that’s the truth.”

“Why?

This is my home too!”

“I bought the house, and if I say no, then you mustn’t!”

After lunch, adhering to the principle of easing the relationship with his spouse, Lin Fei asked Mu Shanshan, “Wife, what are you planning to do this afternoon?”

“I need to deal with work this afternoon.

You’d better not disturb me.”

After finishing lunch, Mu Shanshan went straight to the study.

Lin Fei, finding himself bored, decided to check on Lin Feng, but at that moment, he received a call from Shen Lexuan.

It turned out Shen Lexuan had invited Lin Fei to go shopping, grab a meal, and then watch a movie.

As he was leaving, Lin Fei remembered Shen Lexuan had a car, so he decided not to drive his own car to meet her, to avoid the hassle of explaining if she were to ask.

When he reached the agreed spot, Lin Fei saw Shen Lexuan already waiting for him by the road.

After getting in the car, Lin Fei asked her if she had been waiting long, to which Shen Lexuan replied she had just arrived.

Then, she started the car and drove straight toward the downtown shopping plaza.

In the shopping plaza, Lin Fei began to regret his decision.
