I took Lu Lin's private elevator again, and it only took two minutes to get to the lobby.

As I carried my things back, the male waiter glanced at me curiously and said sarcastically, "Hey, this delivery is interesting. You went out carrying one bag and came back carrying another. And why did you take so long? Don't you know the store is busiest at lunchtime?"

Zhang Qing glared at him. "You do so much, yet you talk the most. Yesterday at noon you were out for an hour, and nobody said a word against you?"

The waiter immediately put on a smiling face, "I was just saying it casually, I didn't mean to blame Xiao Yan. Everyone knows how crowded the elevators at Lu Group during lunch break, this is considered a quick return."

No one answered him this time. He awkwardly touched his nose and remained silent.

After work in the afternoon, Yan Heqing carried his things home. First, he delivered a few half-price cakes from the store to the stray cat, along with the box of shredded pork with sweet bean sauce, Yan Heqing carrying the fruit home.

The low temperatures in winter help preserve fruit very well. These aren't actually expensive fruits; they're just common ones like green grapes, kiwis, red pomelos, cherries, and strawberries.

Yan Heqing remained silent for a few seconds, then took out his phone and snapped a picture of the fruit.

I posted it on my WeChat Moments.

There was no setting for Lu Lin to be visible only; his contacts only contained Lu Lin.

"The fruit is exceptionally sweet."

He added five words.

After sending the message to Yan Heqing, he exited WeChat, opened the message, and typed a message.

" Fengzhi, are you asleep?"

Click send.

A few minutes later, Lin Fengzhi replied, "No, is there something you need?"

Yan Heqing picked up a cherry; it was very red and large. He typed, "Nothing, I just wanted to say goodnight to you."

Lin Fengzhi was trying on the clothes he would wear on Saturday. It was a pure white suit, but he was still not quite satisfied with it. He casually picked up his phone and saw the message Yan Heqing had sent. Suddenly, his chest warmed.

I suddenly feel a little embarrassed.

These past few days, he's been so focused on seeing Lu Lin at the wedding that he's completely forgotten about Yan Heqing.

But Yan Heqing was always thinking of him and remembered to say goodnight to him.

Lin Fengzhi returned the call, "Did I disturb you?"

Yan Heqing's voice was gentle, "No, I'm eating fruit."

Lin Fengzhi "Oh," somewhat excitedly, "Then help me pick out an outfit! I'll wear it on Saturday. What's your WeChat? I'll add you."

"Just the phone number."

Lin Fengzhi immediately added her and sent her a video call, Yan Heqing answered instantly.

The video call connected, Lin Fengzhi up his phone to show off his outfit from all angles. "How's this suit?" he asked.

Yan Heqing looked you over and suddenly asked, "What occasion are you dressed for?"

Lin Fengzhi didn't want Yan Heqing to interfere in his private life, especially since his affection for Lu Lin was a secret.

He mumbled, "Just a regular wedding banquet."

"Then I suggest you wear casual clothes," Yan Heqing smiled. "It suits your style and won't steal the groom's thunder."

Lin Fengzhi couldn't say that the wedding he attended was a high-end occasion that required formal attire.

These are matters of etiquette that Yan Heqing has no access to, so he shouldn't ask for his opinion.

Lin Fengzhi changed the subject, "Have you been busy these past few days?"

"Same as before," Yan Heqing said, eating a cherry, "I'm doing part-time work to earn some living expenses."

Lin Fengzhi. With his sharp eyes, he suddenly noticed the takeout box on the coffee table, which bore the logo of his favorite restaurant.

It's not cheap.

The box that Yan Heqing ate must have cost at least several hundred yuan.

Lin Fengzhi was very puzzled, "Did you buy the fruit yourself?"

Yan Heqing swallowed the cherry, his fingertips stained with the purplish-red juice. He pulled out a tissue and wiped his fingers. "No, it was a gift from a friend."

"Your friend treats you well." Lin Fengzhi himself, "I can't believe Yan Heqing has such a wealthy friend. He even bought you fruit at the Black Pearl Three-Diamond Restaurant."

Yan Heqing only knew that the meal Lu Lin treated her to must have been expensive, but she didn't expect it to be Black Pearl Three Diamond.

He hadn't looked into high-end restaurants, only knowing they weren't cheap. He was slightly distracted for a moment before saying, "Yeah, he's pretty good to me."

Lin Fengzhi casually asked, "Man or woman?" He joked, "If it's a woman, she's probably interested in you and is pursuing you."

Yan Heqing smiled noncommittally and asked in return, "If he really has feelings for me, do you think I should say yes?"

"I haven't even met her, so I can't give you advice," Lin Fengzhi, stroking his chin. "But when it comes to love, it's all about feeling. Some people you just click with at first sight, while others, no matter how good they are to you, can only ever be friends. If you have feelings for someone, just go for it and don't worry about anything else."

Yan Heqing's lips curved into a gentle smile, "You seem quite experienced. Do you have someone you like?"

He'd let something slip! Lin Fengzhi felt guilty and avoided Yan Heqing's gaze. "No... Oh, right, it's getting late, I'll have to go now. Goodnight!"

Yan Heqing didn't reply with "Goodnight," but smiled and said, "Have a nice weekend."

The thought of the weekend Lin Fengzhi think of Lu Lin, and his heart instantly softened with sweetness.

This weekend is sure to be very enjoyable!

His eyes crinkled into a smile. "Yes, you too. Have a wonderful weekend!"

Chapter 27

The next morning, Yan Heqing went into a stationery store and bought a notebook with a dark green cover and a leaf pattern on the background.

I also bought a beautiful fountain pen.

After finishing work and returning home in the evening, Yan Heqing simply cooked a bowl of dumplings, ate them, and then, as usual, reviewed his lessons. The final exams for this semester begin next Wednesday.

At ten o'clock sharp, Yan Heqing turned off the computer, unscrewed the pen cap, and first tried writing three characters on a piece of scrap paper.

Lin Fengzhi.

He is accustomed to writing in regular script, with straight and neat lines. Lin Fengzhi's font is more rounded and leans towards an artistic style.

Yan Heqing tried writing a few rounded characters, but they still didn't resemble Lin Fengzhi's handwriting.

His handwriting is too neat.

After finishing the trial writing, Yan Heqing opened his newly bought, beautiful notebook and began to imitate Lin Fengzhi's diary.
