Chapter 887: Chapter 887: The Secret Between Us Chapter 887: Chapter 887: The Secret Between Us Besides, they had a friendship spanning over a decade, and being with him was always better than being with someone she didn’t understand.

Hai Lan wasn’t greedy; deciding on Wei Zhijie was enough for her.

In this life, she didn’t need a love that was fierce and intense; as long as she could live peacefully and leisurely, that was sufficient.

However, it was only later that she realized even such a simple wish was a luxury.

…

When Hai Lan got home, it was already dark.

Throughout the day, Wei Zhijie had not called her, except for the time she had taken the initiative to call him during the day.

Hai Lan didn’t really mind these things; she was different from most girls and didn’t need her boyfriend to call her all the time.

Even if Wei Zhijie didn’t contact her the whole day, she felt it was no big deal.

After all, she herself often got so busy that she wouldn’t contact Wei Zhijie for days.

But now she wasn’t busy at all, quite idle in fact, so she might as well give him a call.

The call was connected quickly, and Wei Zhijie’s voice came from the other end, “Hello, Hai Lan, what’s up?”

“Are you still busy? Have you had dinner?” Hai Lan casually asked as she sat at her desk, flipping through a book with one hand and holding her phone with the other.

Wei Zhijie laughed, “I’ve eaten already. How about you, have you eaten?”

“I ate at Grandpa’s place and just got home.”

“Hai Lan, I’m sorry, I was too busy today to come see you. Let’s go out for a meal together tomorrow.”

“I can’t really go out like this…” Hai Lan said with a laugh.

Wei Zhijie suddenly understood, “Right. Then I’ll come to see you and drop by to visit your uncle and aunt.”

“That would be great.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow then.”

“Alright.” Hai Lan put away her phone and continued reading her book.

Wei Zhijie put away his phone and turned to Yun Shan in the passenger seat, “Girl, get out of the car. I won’t walk you in, so that your uncle and aunt don’t find out about our secret.”

Yun Shan had been feeling down because of his call with Hai Lan. But hearing him mention “our secret” suddenly lifted her spirits.

Yes, today she and Brother Zhijie had their little secret.

And that secret was that Brother Zhijie had helped her choose a location for her coffee shop!

This was a secret just between the two of them; even Hai Lan didn’t know.

Yun Shan smiled radiantly, “Brother Zhijie, will you keep our secret?”

Wei Zhijie nodded with a smile, “Of course!”

“Pinky promise, you better not lie to me.” The girl stretched out her delicate little finger, her large bright eyes sparkling, lively as a spirit.

A strange emotion flickered through Wei Zhijie’s heart, one that he himself didn’t understand what it meant.

He too, with a bright smile, hooked his finger with Yun Shan’s. Yun Shan laughed innocently, “Pinky promise, hang a hundred years, no changes allowed!”

“Okay, no changes. The one who changes is a puppy!” Wei Zhijie seemed to regress in age as well, playing around with her.

“Then, Brother Zhijie, I’m going home, see you tomorrow…”

“See you tomorrow.”

Yun Shan happily got out of the car, took a few steps, then turned back to wave at him, her eyes not hiding her reluctance to part.

Wei Zhijie felt an inexplicable sense of vanity being satisfied.

He waved back, happily driving off.

But Yun Shan stood at the door of her home, watching his car drive away before she turned to go inside. She had spent the entire day with Wei Zhijie, which made her very happy.

Yun Shan hummed a song as she entered the house, immediately meeting her mother’s dark expression, “Yun Shan, where have you been? All day I couldn’t see you, and you even came home so late.”
