Gu Feng's expression froze, then he smiled and rubbed Lu An Ning's head.
"Don't ask so many questions, girl. Let's go!"
He glanced at Tang Jingyuan, leaving behind a dashing figure. Lu Anning looked up and saw Tang Jingyuan's brows furrowed, as if he was troubled by something.
"Jingyuan!"
Tang Jingyuan curled his lips and said, "Let's eat! I'm a little hungry. Let's see what Wang Ma prepared today."
As he spoke, he pulled Lu An Ning towards the restaurant, talking about irrelevant things and obviously unwilling to answer Lu An Ning's questions. She didn't ask any more questions. Perhaps it was a confidential information at Fourth Brother's unit that could not be disclosed.
The Spring Festival was over in the blink of an eye, and everyone was about to start preparing for work again. In the remaining two days of vacation, Lu Anning didn't want to feel depressed.
The overpass accident was ultimately defined as an accident, and without a clear explanation, it was left unresolved. Lu Anning watched the long, rambling conversation, lost interest, and tossed his phone aside.
She yawned subconsciously and looked at the time, only to find that it was already twelve o'clock.
After dinner, Tang Jingyuan said he had something to do and went to the study, and he hasn't returned to the bedroom since then. The more Lu Anning thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Just as she was about to go check it out, Tang Jingyuan pushed the door open again.
"Still asleep?"
Seeing Lu An Ning about to get up, he strode to the bedside.
"Where are you going so late? Do you want some water?"
"You didn't come, so I thought I'd come over and take a look."
Tang Jingyuan looked at the person in front of him, his eyes full of tenderness, and his warm palm touched her face: "Did you think about it?"
Lu Anning rolled his eyes at him and punched him in the chest, which was caught by Tang Jingyuan.
"You're not serious. I'm just concerned about you. After Fourth Brother left, you've been worried. Don't hide anything from me, okay?"
“How dare you!”
Tang Jingyuan took a deep breath, held the person in his arms, and tightened his grip.
She didn't know if it was Lu Anning's illusion, but she vaguely felt that Tang Jingyuan was in a bad mood tonight, and his every move was filled with complicated emotions.
He refused to speak, and Lu An Ning didn't ask any more questions. Sensing his emotions, Lu An Ning hugged him back.
"Really?"
"Um?"
"But...I thought about it."
The voice was bewitching, and before Lu An Ning could react, Tang Jingyuan had already kissed her.
The yellowish light and the warmth that filled the room blended together, rising and falling. Tonight, Tang Jingyuan was particularly gentle, yet tireless, as if nothing was enough.
Lu Anning was in a daze, and his bewitching calls were heard over and over again in his ears.
She tried so hard to respond to Tang Jingyuan's emotions that she didn't even realize when she fell asleep.
The man carefully carried the person into the bathroom, washed her, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and gently kissed her smooth forehead. He looked so cautious, as if the person in front of him would disappear in the blink of an eye.
After satisfying his appetite, Tang Jingyuan still couldn't sleep, so he turned and went to the balcony.
The night wind was bone-chillingly cold, making him even more awake. He bit his cigarette lightly, lowered his head to light it, and took a deep breath. The white smoke mixed with the mist from his exhaled water drifted away in the wind. His ears echoed with the words Gu Feng had said to him in the study.
"This is very dangerous. Publicly, I certainly hope to fight alongside you. Privately, you're my brother-in-law, and I don't want you to be in any danger. I won't try to dissuade you; you're the one with your own ideas. When you've made up your mind, tell me."
He placed his left hand on the guardrail, gradually increasing the strength, and the joints became more and more obvious in the moonlight.
Tang Jingyuan turned around and looked at the person sleeping soundly on the bed. He felt a warmth in his heart and seemed to have made a decision.
He put out the cigarette, cleared his mind of the messy thoughts, and then went into the house.
The moment he lay down, the person next to him sensed the warmth, turned over his curled-up body, and snuggled into his arms. He adjusted himself to a comfortable position and fell into a deep sleep.
Tang Jingyuan looked at the person in his arms, with a slight smile on his lips. Without any worries, he hugged the person in his arms and closed his eyes.
Lu Anning had a good sleep. When he woke up, he was surprised to see that the people around him were still asleep.
She stared at the handsome face in front of her curiously, and then she realized that his eyelashes were very long, and he looked much gentler when he was asleep than usual. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand, and just when it was about to touch his face, Tang Jingyuan grabbed it accurately.
"Are you awake?"
"Um."
"get up?"
"Be good! Sleep with me for a while longer."
Lu An Ning thought she had heard wrongly. Seeing him tighten his grip on her waist, Lu An Ning leaned obediently in his arms, hugged him, and closed her eyes again.
After this nap, they woke up at almost noon. It was rare for the two of them to sleep at this time, and it was only when Lu Anning's stomach growled that they couldn't help laughing that they got up one after another.
Lu Anning packed up lazily and when he was leaving, he accidentally noticed a cigarette butt in the ashtray on the round table on the balcony and was stunned for a moment.
He was in a bad mood last night. Did he smoke after he fell asleep?
Tang Jingyuan rarely smoked in front of her unless he was in a bad mood.
She was lost in thought when she heard someone calling her from downstairs. Lu An Ning responded and quickened her pace downstairs.
Lu Anning paid close attention to Tang Jingyuan's actions, but found that after a night, he had returned to his usual self.
If it weren't for the cigarette butt on the balcony, she would almost think that she was wrong last night.
In any case, he has recovered, which means that the problem has been resolved.
But later, Lu Anning felt that Tang Jingyuan was still a little different.
He suddenly became clingy. No matter where she went, Tang Jingyuan would accompany her. Lu Anning was not used to this Third Master.
She wondered, "Are you really okay?"
"I'd like to spend some quality time with you on this last day of vacation, wouldn't it? Since I've started getting busy, I've had less time to myself."
Lu Anning thought it made sense. It was rare for him to actually watch such a boring idol drama with her. The day passed so quickly that even when Lu Anning went to work the next day, he was still nostalgic for yesterday.
On the first day of work in the new year, Lu Anning met a special guest in the lobby.
