Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 598 - 596: Two Idle Sorrows

At noon, Lin Wanwan sent Fortune home and then went to Jie Yuting’s place, hoping to jump the queue for lunch, but was mercilessly rejected.

Because for Lin Wanwan, this trip was akin to a "spontaneous adventure," causing Jie Yuting’s exquisite seafood to run out of stock. How could he possibly yield to Lin Wanwan’s coercion!

No reservation, no service!

Coming empty-handed to jump the queue? No way, even the windows are welded shut.

This Jie Laoli, how did he survive with such a nasty temper until now? Lin Wanwan was shocked.

Just as Lin Wanwan was about to leave dejectedly, another big foodie arrived with a number plate in hand.

That’s right, it was none other than Lu Shouyue, who had flown back to Yongcheng on a private jet.

He headed straight to Jie Yuting’s private kitchen after getting off the plane, as if in sync with Lin Wanwan.

"Mr. Lu, how did you get a number? Did Boss Jie give it to you privately?" Lin Wanwan asked curiously.

Lu Shouyue smiled lightly: "It’s just a reservation number, you can buy it with money. I just bought it at the door."

Lin Wanwan was speechless. Right, she forgot about the power of money. Even for food, there are scalpers, who can reason with them?

Jie Yuting doesn’t allow blatant scalper behavior here, so getting a reservation number requires some dexterity.

"Wanwan, cancel your return ticket and come with me." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Lin Wanwan didn’t hesitate long: "Alright."

"Do you have anything planned this afternoon?" Lu Shouyue asked.

"I plan to visit Teacher Chen; I haven’t visited her since her surgery," Lin Wanwan replied. "Then there’s nothing much, nothing much happens during Qingming."

Her parents worshipped on New Year’s Eve, so she didn’t plan to go during Qingming, mainly because she didn’t want to see the Gong family.

Lu Shouyue casually said: "Okay, after you visit, let’s go to the cinema and watch a movie, how about that?"

"Oh, a movie, huh?" Lin Wanwan was a bit surprised but agreed after thinking about it, smiling, "This will be my second time going to a cinema to watch a movie."

Before, she felt movie tickets were expensive and not worth it, and later, she had no one to go with.

Lu Shouyue was surprised: "So your first movie was with me too?"

Lin Wanwan nodded: "Yes, and Jingyu."

Lu Shouyue laughed: "Then I’ll have to invite you more often in the future."

Lin Wanwan glanced at him without saying a word.

After the meal, Lin Wanwan briefly bid farewell to Lu Shouyue and bought a bouquet of carnations to visit Teacher Chen at the Third Hospital.

Teacher Chen’s surgery was very successful, and she can be discharged home for recovery in a few days.

When Lin Wanwan arrived, Chen’s mom, Chen’s husband, and Chen’s child were all there; today was Qingming Festival, school and company were off.

Teacher Chen’s mom was not yet sixty, but her hair was already gray, while her child had just started in the senior kindergarten class, looking clueless and carefree, unaware of his mom’s life-threatening ordeal where he almost became a child without a mother.

The whole family was delighted to see Lin Wanwan.

Teacher Chen’s illness wasn’t stage four; there was still hope for survival. The biggest challenge initially was the treatment cost, which was generously solved by Lin Wanwan, who even arranged for renowned doctor Flying Knife to treat her, naturally making her a cherished guest in their home.

Lin Wanwan was a bit overwhelmed by Chen’s mom’s excessive gratitude, exchanged a few pleasantries, and quickly left the ward.

If only she had something to offer, it would have been appropriate to prepare a gift for the first meeting with Teacher Chen’s child.

But she felt awkward about buying and specifically delivering a gift externally, so she just let it go.

During Qingming, the rain often comes suddenly.

When Lin Wanwan reached the inpatient building’s entrance, she found herself trapped in the rain.

But before she could think of a solution, a tall and familiar figure appeared in the rain.

A black umbrella, light-blue jeans, although the large black umbrella covered half of his upper body, Lin Wanwan recognized him instantly.

Strange, had she become so familiar? Just by seeing his walking pace, she could imagine his slight smile.

In the sudden rain, pedestrians hurried whether they had umbrellas or not, some even looking quite disheveled, except for that tall figure, giving an illusion of leisurely strolling.

"Wanwan."

Lost in thought, she suddenly heard a clear voice from above.

Lin Wanwan looked up, gazing deeply into Lu Shouyue’s smiling eyes. Strange, wasn’t he leisurely strolling in the rain just a moment ago? How did he appear in front of her so quickly?

"It’s raining, I came to pick you up."

Lu Shouyue’s voice seemed to come from far away. After a brief daze, Lin Wanwan came to her senses, noticing the curious gazes around, quickly pulled Lu Shouyue into the rain, saying: "Oh, okay, let’s go quickly."

So embarrassing, she definitely couldn’t let others find out she was entranced by a handsome guy just now.

Only after sitting in Lu Shouyue’s car did Lin Wanwan suddenly realize: "I drove here!"

Lu Shouyue chuckled lightly: "Keys."

"Ah?" Lin Wanwan was stunned, keys?

"Give me the keys, let Ah Hao drive your car."

"Okay." Lin Wanwan slowly handed over her car keys, then casually sat in the back seat with Lu Shouyue.

"Are we going to watch the movie together with four people?"

Lu Shouyue laughed: "Is Wanwan wanting to go alone with me? No problem, I can book the whole place."

Lin Wanwan was embarrassed o(╯□╰)o I didn’t mean that!

In a day faster than the modern era, Great Tang was experiencing Qingming night.

Although there wasn’t a curfew, Mao County’s Xiaoxi town without nightlife was completely silent.

On the county government backyard’s roof, two figures lay crookedly; each holding a wine flask in hand.

In the first clear sky after drizzle, even the air was moist, let alone the tiles, but the two lying on the roof looking at the night sky seemed to be unaware.

After a long time, a sound of shaking liquor echoed, even lying down couldn’t prevent even the most seasoned drinker from spilling wine.

A heavy scent of wine spread, increasing intoxication.

"Zifang, you’ve been acting strange recently." Dugu Di, squinting his half-blind eyes, aimlessly gazed at the night sky, where the black clouds ended, a few stars gleamed.

Lying not far away, Xiao Chong extended an arm, pressing it against his eyes, as if even the faint starlight could sting him, murmurously replied: "Wine and friends, enough..."

Dugu Di turned his head to glance at him, no, something’s off!

"...You, you aren’t crying, are you?"

Don’t scare him, is this really Xiao Chong, Xiao Zifang, who dared to lead his men with swords against mountain bandits at fifteen?

"Wine!"

"Bang!" The wine flask was tossed over, Dugu Di instinctively caught it. "Finished already? Zifang, didn’t you just request a marriage, dream come true? What now? Suddenly realized a longing for freedom, regretting and wanting to break off the engagement?"

Though Xiao Zifang liked unpredictability, he wasn’t one to joke about others’ reputation.

Dugu Di was puzzled, truly couldn’t understand.
