Lu Xiangnan's eyes held bitterness and heartache.

Everyone in the world has their own suffering. Jiang Tian had long since let go of those heavy things from the past, but he found it hard to let go of them.

Jiang Tian has recently taken to patting his head, and this time she couldn't help but pat it again: "Alright, I've already gotten over my hardships, and my life is very stable now, which I like. Once my hand is healed, I'll find a new job, and everything will be fine then."

Lu Xiangnan felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

Jiang Tian stroked his hair a couple of times, then suddenly brought up another matter: "When are you planning to go back?"

Lu Xiangnan suddenly looked at her.

“I don’t want to interfere in your affairs, but you’re so young, you can’t keep wasting your time on the construction site. Go home soon.”

Lu Xiangnan looked at her: "Do you want me to go back?"

Jiang Tian smiled at him: "It's not a matter of whether I want to or not, but that you must go back. Xiao Nan, you don't belong here."

Lu Xiangnan didn't speak again.

He couldn't explain how he felt.

He wants to stay here, but what reason could he have to stay?

He hadn't finished university and didn't have any money.

Before leaving, he took a long leave of absence.

His biological father wanted to force him to drop out of school and go abroad, but he couldn't go in person to complete the procedures, which is why it's been delayed until now.

But his studies had to continue.

His encounter with Jiang Tian was completely unexpected, yet it struck a chord with him.

Lu Xiangnan tentatively asked, "If I want to stay, would you agree?"

"Don't be silly, brat, you don't belong here."

Lu Xiangnan was feeling very uneasy.

Jiang Tian seemed a little sleepy. She watched TV, slowly closed her eyes, and her breathing became deeper.

Seeing her asleep on the sofa, Lu Xiangnan wanted to wake her up, but then he thought her sleeping face was so beautiful that he couldn't help but keep looking at her.

After a while, he picked up a blanket from the side and gently covered Jiang Tian with it.

He covered her with the blanket and then squatted down there.

On this calm night, Lu Xiangnan's heart was anything but at peace.

His mind was filled with countless thoughts, which would vanish in an instant and gather again in a moment.

Finally, his vision was completely occupied by the sleeping Jiang Tian, ​​and he had no other thoughts.

He slowly moved closer, closer...

It felt as if two people had split in Lu Xiangnan's heart. One urged him to return to where he was, otherwise everything would be beyond repair; the other encouraged him to kiss her quickly, otherwise nothing would happen between them.

Lu Xiangnan's mind and body were gradually taken over by the evil side, and he and Jiang Tian grew closer and closer.

He was just a millimeter away from pressing his lips against Jiang Tian's.

At that very moment, Jiang Tian slowly opened her eyes...

In an instant, the world fell silent.

………………

The living room is still the same living room, the same two people are still there, and the comedy show is still playing.

Neither Jiang Tian nor Lu Xiangnan spoke.

Their relationship could no longer maintain its superficial harmony at this moment; the calm was shattered, and turbulent undercurrents surged within.

Drinking water from her cup might be an excuse, but if you try to kiss her, she'll catch you red-handed, and you'll have no excuse left to hide it.

Lu Xiangnan didn't speak, but he broke out in layers of cold sweat.

He remembered Zheng Feifei's advice: Jiang Tian didn't like things to be dragged out.

If their relationship remains at the level of family, he can maintain a place by her side for a long time.

But if it's about love, Jiang Tian, ​​who can't tolerate any flaws, might drive him away that very night.
