Su An lay on the bed, looking at the dim moonlight outside the window. He felt extremely heavy-hearted and had no desire to sleep.
Ever since her brother passed away, Lu Ziting has always been by her side, allowing her to have a moment of peace.
But whenever it was late at night and she was alone, those horrible memories were like a flood and she could not resist them at all.
The thought of the cold river water, her brother's wound, and the glaring red kept lingering in her mind.
The river water is so cold and dark, will my brother be afraid...
Thinking of this, tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of his eyes. Su An grabbed the corner of the quilt tightly, buried his head in Jie Qi's pillow, and cried silently.
“Knock knock knock—”
Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door.
Then, Lu Ziting's gentle voice broke the silence of the night, "An An, are you asleep?"
“…”
Su An raised his head and looked towards the door. His eyelashes trembled, and he bit his lower lip slightly without saying a word.
"An An, if you can't sleep, Ziying recommended a movie. Do you want to watch it together?"
Lu Ziting's voice was gentle, and his tone was filled with a hint of worry and heartache.
Su An, he is worried about himself.
After hesitating for a few times, she finally didn't say anything and pretended to fall asleep, but her heart was not as bitter anymore.
At least... she's not alone now.
Lu Ziting waited outside the door for a long time. Seeing no response from inside, he hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left.
…
Two days passed in a flash.
In these two days.
Lu Ziting takes care of Su An to the point of being meticulous. He holds her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and holds her in his mouth for fear of melting her. He is on call 24 hours a day!
Lu Ziying was amazed by what she saw.
Su An saw everything he did and kept it in mind.
This day.
The two of them cooked together in the kitchen, Lu Ziting fried the dishes and Su An handed the bowls.
No matter what he needed, Su An would understand without him even asking, and would immediately find something and hand it to him.
Invisibly, they have formed a tacit understanding with profound meaning.
"An An, have you slept well these days?" Lu Ziting said softly while cutting beef.
"Very good." Su An watched him cutting vegetables and nodded slightly.
Lu Ziting seemed to notice that she couldn't sleep at night.
Except for the first night, he would always find various ways to accompany her until late at night, such as watching movies, playing games, etc., and every time he would stay up very late, and in the end she would fall asleep exhausted.
Thinking of this, Su An couldn't help but feel a little moved, and looked up at Lu Ziting.
Lu Ziting caught a glimpse of her gaze from the corner of his eye and knew that she was peeking at him. His heart trembled, and his lower body tilted a little, cutting his finger directly.
"hiss--"
Lu Ziting gasped as he felt waves of pain in his fingers.
"What's wrong?"
Su An was startled and hurried forward to hold his hand to check the injury.
Fortunately, the cut was not deep, just touching the skin and causing some bleeding.
Su An breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "Fortunately, the meat was not cut. Senior, you are too careless."
Lu Ziting lowered his eyes and stared at her plain face. There was deep concern and tension in his dark eyes.
His heart softened, and he felt as if he was in the clouds, floating all over.
She was worried about him and concerned about him...
Does this also mean that she accepts him?
Lu Ziting's heart trembled, and he didn't care about the injury on his fingers. He held her hands directly, his palms warm.
"Senior, you..."
Su An was startled and looked up at him, only to meet a burning gaze.
Her heart suddenly began to pound.
"An An, I didn't..."
Lu Ziting stared at her with deep eyes, not wanting to miss any change in her expression. His voice was gentle but with a hint of nervousness, for fear of scaring her.
Su An looked into his affectionate eyes and gently withdrew her hand.
Lu Ziting held her tighter, showing no intention of letting her back off.
"An An, do you know what day it is today?"
Lu Ziting looked at her with a burning gaze. Seeing that she was a little nervous, he loosened his grip a few times and said deeply, "Today is the last day of the one-month deadline..."
Su An's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes gently, his heart beating even faster.
Lu Ziting had once made an agreement with her to give her a month to think about their relationship.
This month...
A lot happened, she lost a lot and gained a lot, and it passed quickly.
If Lu Ziting hadn't been by her side, she would have probably collapsed long ago.
He has done so much for her, perhaps unconsciously, she has become accustomed to relying on him and cannot leave him.
Maybe... it's time for her to take a big step.
Seeing that Su An didn't speak for a long time, Lu Ziting thought he was a little too anxious. After all, she had just lost two important relatives during this period.
Thinking of this, he suppressed the impulse in his heart and spoke softly.
"An An, I know you've experienced many major changes and lost a lot this month... If you haven't made up your mind yet, that's okay. I'm not in a hurry for you to give a definite answer."
They still have plenty of time.
He had enough patience and companionship to allow her to fully accept herself.
"Senior, I have already thought about it."
Su An suddenly spoke, raised her eyes and looked at him firmly, and said seriously, "I promise you."
“…”
Lu Ziting looked at her in complete disbelief, staring at her intently, with unexpected joy in his eyes.
He must have heard it right!!!
An An is willing to be with him? !
He can finally rightfully possess her and protect her!!!
Lu Ziting couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, not hiding his joy, and chuckled softly, "An An, if you think it over, there will be no regrets, right?"
"Um……"
Seeing his excitement, Su An smiled with her lips pursed, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Seeing her so shy and cute, Lu Ziting's heart was trembling.
He raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek.
His fingertips were trembling, as if she was a treasure that would be broken if he wasn't careful.
"An An, do you know how long I have been waiting for this moment?"
Lu Ziting leaned close to her face, his breath brushing her face, his voice filled with gentle magic as he murmured in a deep voice.
Su An lowered her eyes nervously, biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth. Her heart was beating so hard that she couldn't help but move back.
Lu Ziting grabbed her hand, held her in his arms, lowered his eyes to look at her beautiful face, his eyes full of tenderness.
He lifted her chin and his eyes fell on her soft pink lips.
Lu Ziting smiled softly, lowered his head and moved closer to that fragrance...
Just when he was about to touch her lips, an inopportune voice suddenly rang out, breaking the wonderful atmosphere...
