âThis...â An Lan didnât know what to say.
Xiao Si would get married in two weeks. This was a little difficult.
âGood luck,â Ji Nuanyi raised her fist in encouragement.
â...â
On the way back, An Lan turned on the radio. The emcee happened to be talking about the wedding of the popular movie star Ji Nuanyi. To congratulate it, the TV station specially broadcasted Zhang Liangyingâs song âFinally you cameâ.
She sighed. A movie starâs wedding was indeed different. It was a torture for single people.
When she drove through a crossing, Xu Baohanâs call came in. The moment An Lan answered it, he happened to hear lyrics, âAfter a long waiting, you finally came. Luckily I didnât give up...â
Xu Baohan paused for a moment when he heard the pleasant singing. Then he said, âThis song is very suitable for us now.â
An Lan was embarrassed. âThe radio station is playing it.â
âI know, I didnât say that youâre playing it.â Xu Baohan smiled.
An Lan suddenly felt as if he had seen through her. âIâm not home yet.â
âI know. You said the song is played by the radio station so you must be in the car.â
An Lan was speechless. Even though he did not say it, she could hear the hint of âyouâre so stupidâ in his words.
âYouâre really smart,â She said disgruntledly. She yawned and started the car again.
âIf youâre tired, drive slowly,â Xu Baohan reminded her. âXiao Si made you work so late and didnât even consider that youâre a woman and that it isnât safe to drive home at this late hour.â
âHave you considered it before?â An Lan smiled.
Xu Baohan was silent for a moment before replying, âNo, I havenât.â
âHeâs the same. Alright, Iâm driving now. Iâll send you a message when I get home.â
After reaching home on the other side of the city, she sent Xu Baohan a message: âIâm home.â.
Looking at the two words, a strange feeling suddenly rose in her heart. It had been a long, long time since she sent these two words to someone. No one cared if she got home safely or not.
White Horse Is Not Horse replied: Good. By the way, what do I need to take with me on Sunday when we go to Shifeng Mountain?
An Lan smiled and replied: I wonât tell you.
White Horse Is Not Horse: ...
An LAN: Why did you change your WeChat name right after our blind date? Did you do it because I said your WeChat name was outdated? Also, youâre a judge, why did you use such a sophisticated phrase as White Horse Is Not Horse as you name?
As a lawyer, she understood the origin of this phrase. In the university, her teacher had carefully analyzed it to them. During the Warring States period, the horses of the state of Zhao contracted an infectious disease. To prevent the plague from entering the country, the state of Qin prohibited the horses of the state of Zhao from crossing its border. However, Gongsun Long came with his white horse and argued with the guards saying a white horse was not a horse. He finally entered the state of Qin. Until now, the phrase had been used to mean deception.
How could a judge use such a phrase as his WeChat name?
Not long ago, his WeChat name had been Lawful Life.
About two minutes later, Xu Baohan replied: Yes, after our blind date, I realized that my future wife was an expert in sophistry, so I changed my WeChat name to White Horse Is Not Horse. Do you like It?â
An Lanâs face turned red immediately, as her heartstring was stirred by his words.
Fortunately, he couldnât see her face.
But this person was really... so sneaky. Old Fox.
An Lan smiled and felt a little sweet despite herself.
