Qin Huan glanced at Jiang Jingchu and saw that he was concentrating on drinking his soup, so she pressed the answer button.
"Wen Li."
Wen Li's car was parked downstairs of Qin Huan's community. He was holding the phone in his hand, looking deep into Qin Huan's dark window.
"Qin Huan, you haven't gone home yet? The weather forecast says there will be a heavy downpour soon."
Qin Huan looked at the rain outside the window which was getting heavier and heavier, feeling a little helpless.
"Not yet. I'm still in Jinghewan. It's a bit remote here, and with the current rain, it might be hard to get a taxi."
Wen Li certainly knew Jinghe Bay. Qin Huan and Jiang Jingchu lived there when they were still together.
He tightened his grip on the phone.
"Do you need me to pick you up? I'm relatively close to Jinghe Bay right now."
Before Qin Huan could say anything, she saw through the glass that Jiang Jingchu's expression suddenly changed.
"No, I'll wait a little longer. You've been on the plane for such a long time, go back to the hotel and rest early."
Wen Li was silent for a moment.
"Okay, if you come back, be careful on the road."
After thinking about it, he added another sentence.
"Qin Huan, do you know what you'll face if you get back together with Jiang Jingchu?"
Qin Huan took a deep breath.
"I know, I won't."
These six words were enough to put Wen Li's heart at ease temporarily.
But the gloom on his face did not lessen at all, and the eyes behind the lenses reflected the raindrops winding down the car window.
"That's good. The cost of repeating the same mistake is too high. I'm afraid you can't withstand it a second time."
Jiang Jingchu didn't hear what Wen Li said in the last two sentences. He only saw that Qin Huan's mood was obviously even more depressed after she finished talking to him on the phone.
He stood motionless in front of the French window, his face full of worries.
Jiang Jingchu was no longer in the mood to eat. He put down his chopsticks and silently looked at Qin Huan's back.
The two of them did not move for a long time, maintaining this posture with each other.
Until a loud thunder exploded in front of Qin Huan. Qin Huan was frightened and took two steps back with her shoulders hugged.
Jiang Jingchu's eyes also narrowed.
"It's late, and the rain isn't likely to let up. You should go upstairs and get some sleep. All the supplies in the second-floor guest bedroom are new, so feel free to use them."
"What about you?"
Qin Huan turned around and looked at Jiang Jingchu. He was sitting there quietly, his brows and eyes expressionless. Under the flickering lightning outside the window, he looked lonely and depressed.
"I can't sleep for the time being, so I want to sit down here for a while."
Qin Huan said "Oh" and said nothing more, then went up to the guest bedroom on the second floor alone.
Jiang Jingchu said that all the supplies were new, but unexpectedly, they also included a whole wardrobe of clothes.
Qin Huan took a casual look and found that they were from several brands that she used to wear often. They were all the latest models and the tags were still on.
It can be imagined that Jiang Jingchu prepared it specially for her.
Qin Huan's eyes were filled with a hint of bitterness. Her fingertips slowly ran across her clothes and she picked out a nightgown to put on.
After taking a shower, Qin Huan lay on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time. She tossed and turned, and her mind was filled with Jiang Jingchu's red eyes and hurt and angry expression in the car, and then his lonely and depressed look at the dining table.
She suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
She pressed hard on her heart, curled up, and breathed hard. She had done this action too many times and knew that only in this way could she relieve the sadness in her heart.
She fell asleep in a daze, and when she woke up again, she was awakened by thirst.
She got out of bed and went downstairs to drink some water, but Jiang Jingchu was no longer in the living room.
Qin Huan thought he had gone upstairs to sleep, but when she returned to her room, she saw that the door of the master bedroom was still open.
She frowned and walked over to take a look. The quilt was tidy and there was no sign that anyone had slept in it.
It was raining heavily outside and he couldn't go out.
Driven by worry, Qin Huan turned and walked to the third floor, and sure enough, she found Jiang Jingchu in the audio-visual room.
A dim light emanated from the screen.
He leaned back on the sofa with his eyes slightly closed. Qin Huan took one look and thought he was asleep.
However, just as he took a step in his direction, Jiang Jingchu's eyes suddenly opened, with a hint of confusion in his dark pupils.
It was not until his eyes locked onto Qin Huan that he gradually came to his senses. He pressed his temples with two fingers, his voice low and magnetic.
"Why are you here?"
"I woke up in the middle of my sleep because I was thirsty. I saw that you hadn't gone back to your room to sleep yet, so I came to check on you."
Jiang Jingchu said "Oh",
"I can't sleep, so I came here to watch a movie and listen to the sounds. Maybe I'll fall asleep slowly."
After explaining why he was here, Jiang Jingchu patted the sofa next to him.
"Want to watch it together?"
The lighting in the audio-visual room was dim and the scene was ambiguous.
Logically, Qin Huan should have refused, but she hesitated for two seconds, and her mouth gave the order before her brain.
"OK."
However, after sitting on the sofa, Qin Huan regretted it.
She hadn't noticed before that the movie playing on the screen was a romance movie.
At this time, the male and female protagonists happened to be arguing in the heavy rain because of some misunderstanding.
The heroine cried bitterly, covered her face and left. The hero was stunned for a few seconds, then chased after her and kissed her fiercely despite her pushing.
Such a scene made Qin Huan feel inexplicably embarrassed and blushed.
Jiang Jingchu noticed that
"What's wrong? Is it hot? Why is your face so red?"
As he said this, he took the remote control to adjust the indoor temperature.
Qin Huan hummed, but she couldn't say that it was because she couldn't stand the intimate scenes in the movie.
But in the movie, the two of them were kissing passionately, and the rain mixed with the saliva in their mouths, pulling out a crystal clear silk thread.
Qin Huan really couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she turned her eyes away under the pretext of drinking water.
Jiang Jingchu didn't feel embarrassed at all. He propped up his chin and gave a very pertinent evaluation.
"Kissing and drawing? How did you do that? There shouldn't be such an effect in real life."
Qin Huan really didn't know how to respond to this, so she just said "hmm" as a response.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jingchu actually discussed this topic with her.
"Maybe the director thought that filming a kiss in the rain like this was particularly beautiful, but I think it somewhat affected the viewing experience and was a bit distracting."
Qin Huan pursed her lips.
"I think so too. Let's watch another movie."
Jiang Jingchu raised his eyebrows.
"What do you want to see?"
"Whatever, just don't watch romance movies."
Jiang Jingchu said "Oh" and then found a new movie to change.
As a result, it’s better not to change it.
At the beginning of the movie, a female ghost in red clothes with tears of blood suddenly appeared and laughed weirdly at the camera.
Although Qin Huan didn't scream in fright, she couldn't help but shrink back into the sofa.
"How did you change the horror movie?"
"Didn't you say you don't watch romance movies?"
Qin Huan twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Aside from romance and horror movies, is there nothing else?"
Jiang Jingchu shrugged.
"There are quite a lot, but I just want to look at these two, which are the most effective in helping you sleep."
Horror movies help you sleep?
This was the first time Qin Huan had heard of this. Thinking of Jiang Jingchu's insomnia, she had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay then, let's look at this."
After he finished speaking, the ghost girl's neck on the screen made two clicking sounds and suddenly spun 360 degrees.
Qin Huan closed her eyes reflexively and clenched her hands into fists.
Jiang Jingchu next to him glanced at him lightly, with a smile on his face.
Qin Huan tried her best to close her eyes and not look at the horrific scenes in the movie.
But the horrific sound effects and the occasional shrill screams of the protagonist still made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She wanted to go downstairs to her room to sleep, but when she thought of the dark and eerie villa corridor in the movie, she backed off.
"Jiang Jingchu, I can't bear it anymore. I really can't bear to watch this."
"Why, scared? This is all fake."
"Even if it's fake, I'm still scared. You know I can't stand horror movies."
Jiang Jingchu made a "tsk" sound, and the next second, a strong arm wrapped around Qin Huan's shoulders, and with a strong hook, he instantly pulled Qin Huan into his arms.
"If you hold it like this, you won't be afraid."
The distance between the two people was shortened in an instant.
Qin Huanren was trapped in Jiang Jingchu's arms. Hearing his healthy and strong heartbeat through a layer of cloth, the fear she had just felt was indeed relieved a lot.
She subconsciously did not struggle, but tilted her neck slightly, and her eyes first saw Jiang Jingchu's firm Adam's apple, and then his smooth jawline.
She had to admit that Jiang Jingchu was not only handsome, but also sexy.
The scene of being intimate with him inexplicably emerged in her mind. Qin Huan swallowed her saliva and heard Jiang Jingchu let out a low laugh.
Then he lowered his eyes and met her gaze.
"Qin Huan, do you want to do an experiment with me?"
Qin Huan's black and white eyes turned slightly.
"What experiment?"
Jiang Jingchu curled his lips,
"An experiment on whether kissing causes stringiness."
