When Jiang Li and Lu Shiyan returned to the residential area, it was already 2 a.m.
"Ayan, it's getting late, you should head back now," Jiang Li said to Lu Shiyan before getting out of the car.
Lu Shiyan looked at Jiang Li with a deep, enigmatic expression, his tone carrying an ambiguous meaning, "Jiang Jiang, are you just going to leave like this?"
"Otherwise what?" Jiang Li retorted.
"You still haven't given me an explanation for what happened before." Lu Shiyan's face showed a hint of grievance again.
Jiang Li: "..."
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Li, who had the potential to be a "bad girl," said, "Don't make things difficult for yourself like this. You can't ruin your whole life because of this accident. It's not worth it."
"But some things you hold dear aren't so easy to give up." Lu Shiyan's expression grew increasingly aggrieved. Finally, he lowered his eyes, looking like a pitiful child who had been abandoned. "But since Jiang Jiang doesn't like it, I'll try my best not to cause you any trouble. Jiang Jiang, please don't hate me, okay?"
Jiang Li: "???"
I didn't say I hate you.
Seeing Lu Shiyan's aggrieved expression, Jiang Li felt a pang of pity. She said, "I do bear some responsibility for this. I promise you, if I change my mind, I will consider you first, but..."
As Lu Shiyan's eyes lit up, Jiang Li slowly said, "If you meet someone you like and who makes your heart flutter, you don't need to think about these things; just be with them."
Lu Shiyan's eyes dimmed further. "Jiang Jiang, do you really want to push me to someone else?"
“This…” Jiang Li hesitated for a moment.
“If I meet someone I like, I will definitely be devoted to her. Otherwise, it would be unfair to her, don’t you think?” Lu Shiyan asked Jiang Li seriously.
"That's right," Jiang Li nodded. "You're absolutely right."
“But if that’s really the case, then I won’t be able to cook for you.” Lu Shiyan’s mood was somewhat downcast. “You know, many girls are very possessive and don’t like their men having too much involvement with other girls, even if they don’t have any ambiguous relationship with other girls. If I cook for you often, she definitely won’t be happy.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li fell into deep thought.
This is absolutely correct.
But the thought that once Lu Shiyan found a partner, she wouldn't be able to eat his cooking anymore made Jiang Li feel a little sad.
She wouldn't feel this bad even if she thought about Lu Shiyan being with someone else.
Seeing this, Lu Shiyan continued, "If there are no other girls, you can come to me whenever you call. But if there are other girls, not only will I not be able to cook for you anymore, but I will also have to actively distance myself from you to give my girlfriend a sense of security. This is something every man should do."
Jiang Li: "..."
My mood is getting worse and worse.
"Um..." Jiang Li rubbed her head, feeling a bit of a headache. "Let me think about it first."
“There’s nothing to think about. Just promise me that when you want to be in a relationship, I’ll be the first person you contact,” Lu Shiyan said earnestly. “As long as you promise me that, I’ll wait for you.”
“But I’m afraid of holding you back.” Jiang Li’s expression was still somewhat conflicted.
“I’m not afraid of being held back by you, so what are you afraid of?” Lu Shiyan raised his hand and flicked Jiang Li’s forehead. “Jiang Jiang, just be yourself and do what you want.”
Of course, Lu Shiyan was not in a hurry at all because he believed in the predestined marriage between himself and Jiang Li.
Anyway, it's her, so what's wrong with waiting?
Besides, Jiang Jiang is still young, so he has plenty of time.
If I haven't won her heart by the time she's old enough to be abducted, then it can only mean one thing...
That is...
Lu Shiyan is useless!
Having figured this out, Lu Shiyan's expression became even more resolute.
Jiang Li was still conflicted.
"Jiang Jiang, think about it now, do you still want to eat the delicious food I make?" Lu Shiyan began to tempt Jiang Li with food.
Jiang Li: "..."
Is there even a question?
"If you don't agree, then it's best to give up on things that have no future as soon as possible. Starting tomorrow, I won't cook anything delicious for you anymore. Are you sure you won't regret it?"
Jiang Li: "..."
In the end, Jiang Li gave in for the sake of delicious food.
"Okay, I promise you." Jiang Li said this with great difficulty.
But after saying that, he let out a huge sigh of relief.
Lu Shiyan smiled and bent down to kiss Jiang Li on the forehead.
Jiang Li: "!!!"
"You...you..." Jiang Li stammered.
“Since you’ve already agreed, we might be together in the future. So… wouldn’t it be nice if we started cultivating some habits together beforehand?” Lu Shiyan said matter-of-factly.
Jiang Li: "???"
is that so?
etc……
Jiang Li glared angrily at Lu Shiyan, "Don't try to fool me. I just promised you that if I wanted to be in a relationship, I would consider you first, but that doesn't mean I will definitely be in a relationship. We might not even end up together, so how can you do something so intimate?"
Jiang Li's face was flushed with anger, and her wide eyes made her look especially cute.
Lu Shiyan couldn't resist reaching out and pinching Jiang Li's cheek again.
Then, under Jiang Li's angry gaze, he chuckled and said, "Alright, it's getting late, go back and rest."
Jiang Li: "..."
"Sweetie, come to my house after you wake up. I'll have breakfast ready for you." Lu Shiyan affectionately tapped Jiang Li's nose again. "Sleep a little longer. Don't run to school tomorrow morning. I'll drive you."
"Doesn't Lu Jiming know how to drive?" Jiang Li retorted instinctively, "Can't I just ride with Lu Jiming?"
“No, Lu Jiming went to bed early today. Let him run to school again tomorrow morning. He’s gotten used to running these past few days. If he doesn’t keep it up, all his previous hard work will be for nothing.” Lu Shiyan made the arrangements for Lu Jiming very directly.
Jiang Li: "..."
That makes sense.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Jiang Li nodded. "Then I'll head back first. You should go back and rest too."
With that, Jiang Li got out of the car and, under Lu Shiyan's gaze, quickly climbed over the wall into her room.
Lu Shiyan left only after he saw the lights come on.
After returning to her room, Jiang Li immediately took out the incense burner, lit a stick of incense, and placed it at the door of Jiang Chi and Su Ruan's room.
Because of the blessing of the talisman, the incense slowly drifted into the bedroom through the crack in the door.
At the same time, she replaced the tea that Jiang Chi usually used with her carefully prepared tea medicine bags.
Only after completing these preparations did she go back to rest.
