Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!-Chapter 542 - 253: Consoling Lu Lin

Zhou Yuwen took the emergency exit, exited the hotel, and dialed Lu Lin's number, but after ringing for a while, no one answered.

Just as Zhou Yuwen worried about where Lu Lin might go,

he found Lu Lin leaning against one side of the hotel entrance, smoking a cigarette.

The phone in her hand was showing an incoming call from Zhou Yuwen.

However, Lu Lin had no intention of answering it.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yuwen was taken aback and asked, "Why are you here?"

Lu Lin hadn't smoked in a long time, but she had just heard Zheng Yanyan say a lot in the hotel and was indeed feeling a bit depressed.

It had rained that morning in Suzhou.

Autumn is like that: each autumn rain brings a chill.

Especially in early December, this rain likely meant that winter had truly arrived.

Lu Lin was dressed thinly; she didn't feel the cold inside the heated hotel,

but stepping out of the hotel, she truly felt the chill.

In a daze, Lu Lin felt like she had been driven out by someone.

This feeling was so familiar.

It seemed that from childhood to adulthood,

she was always the one being driven out.

"If I'm not here, where else could I go?" Lu Lin said.

There was a hint of helplessness in her voice.

Yes, what could an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl do in a strange city?

It started to rain outside again.

Zhou Yuwen walked to Lu Lin's side and helped her extinguish her cigarette, saying, "How many times have I told you to smoke less?"

Lu Lin was leaning against the wall in front of the hotel. Zhou Yuwen reached out, and she handed him the cigarette. She said she hadn't smoked for a long time and did it out of boredom.

Zhou Yuwen thought for a moment, "Yanyan is just like that; you shouldn't take it too seriously."

"I know."

Zheng Yanyan indeed scolded fiercely, but Lu Lin was not the type to fuss with others. According to Lu Lin's temperament, she would act rather than rant.

Zhou Yuwen asked her why she ran.

Lu Lin said, if she had not run, what could she have done by standing there?

"Actually, she was right. I should have expected this day." Lu Lin's face was expressionless. Zheng Yanyan's words had been truly harsh, and if Lu Lin had done nothing wrong, she might have retorted.

But unfortunately, what Zheng Yanyan scolded about was all true.

Zheng Yanyan was genuinely good to Lu Lin.

Lu Lin could feel it.

Among the four people in the dorm, Lu Lin and Zheng Yanyan had the best relationship.

Moreover, Lu Lin quite liked Zheng Yanyan's character, open and straightforward, acting on impulse sometimes, yet indeed, she harbored no ill intentions.

Sometimes being with Zheng Yanyan felt like being with a little sister who didn't understand anything.

And Lu Lin always doted on her like an older sister.

This time, although Zhou Yuwen and Lu Lin's relationship hadn't been exposed, Lu Lin truly felt she had wronged Zheng Yanyan.

"She was right in scolding." In a somewhat despondent mood, Lu Lin murmured to Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen saw the disappointment in Lu Lin's eyes,

which in the light drizzle seemed even more desolate.

Zhou Yuwen reached out and embraced Lu Lin, stroking her hair, saying, "Alright, this matter is my fault."

Lu Lin shook her head, smiling, "Hugging me like this? If Yanyan saw us, it would probably lead to another storm."

Zhou Yuwen said, it was already a storm.

At the entrance to the hotel, there was a glass rain canopy.

Zhou Yuwen and Lu Lin just stood under the canopy, letting the rain pour down outside.

Zhou Yuwen didn't know how to comfort Lu Lin, only saying, "It's cold outside."

"Shall we go upstairs?"

Lu Lin shook her head, saying she didn't want to go up.

She said she didn't know how to face Yanyan.

Zhou Yuwen said, "This has nothing to do with you."

Lu Lin just smiled upon hearing this.

They remained in this standoff for a while.

Zhou Yuwen thought for a moment, "Want to go eat something?"

It was then that Lu Lin looked up at Zhou Yuwen.

Given the awkward situation between Lu Lin and Zheng Yanyan, they indeed couldn't meet, mainly because even if they did meet, they wouldn't know what to say. Right now, avoiding taking Lu Lin upstairs, Zhou Yuwen could take her anywhere.

Zhou Yuwen suggested they go eat something, and Lu Lin agreed.

So the two went down to the underground car park and drove off in Zhou Yuwen's BMW X7.

At nine in the evening, while it was still raining, there really weren't many places to eat nearby.

At such times, only those street food stalls sheltered under canopies were bustling with light.

They drove for about twenty minutes, still undecided on what to eat.

Zhou Yuwen's phone kept ringing.

First, it was Su Qing.

Su Qing's tone was cheerful as she asked Zhou Yuwen where he was.

Zhou Yuwen said, "I'm with Lu Lin."

Proudly, Su Qing recounted to Zhou Yuwen what had happened since he left.

"Zhou Yuwen, you really have poor taste, picking a girlfriend who wants to fight me," Su Qing said.

Zhou Yuwen said, stop making such cold remarks.

"Had you not insisted on getting a room, none of this would have happened."

"We didn't do anything, just chatted in the room. Is that illegal?" Shen Yu was right next to Su Qing, and Su Qing said this boldly.

Zhou Yuwen said, "Alright."

"I am having a meal out with Linlin. I'll hang up now."

"Zhou Yuwen."

Just as Zhou Yuwen was about to hang up, Su Qing called out to him again.

Zhou Yuwen asked what was the matter.

After a moment's thought, she said, "It's nothing big, just that when I went upstairs earlier, Zheng Yanyan and Chang Hao were talking at length. I suspect they have rekindled their old flame."
