Hearing that she wanted to take a bath with him, Lu Jingnian smiled and pinched her cheek.
Are you sure you want to shower with me?
He held back for a long time the night before last, but he might not be able to hold back today.
Meeting Lu Jingnian's ambiguous gaze, Jiang Yue instantly understood his meaning and quickly let go of his hand, "Then I'll go wash first."
She was really tired today and couldn't keep up with him.
"Little coward."
Lu Jingnian felt a little disappointed and gently pinched Jiang Yue's cheek. "Next time, I definitely won't give you a chance to refuse."
"You won't have a chance to refuse next time either."
Jiang Yue hugged him, kissed him on the cheek, then immediately let go and ran into the bathroom.
Lu Jingnian: "..."
He wiped the drool off his face, both amused and exasperated. This girl really wasn't going to suffer any loss now.
As Lu Jingnian watched Jiang Yue walk into the bathroom, he was about to tidy up the room again when he heard Jiang Zheng calling him from outside.
"Old Lu, your phone."
"They're here."
Lu Jingnian put down what he was holding and immediately went outside.
Jiang Yue heard Jiang Zheng's voice in the bathroom, but she couldn't make out what Jiang Zheng was asking Lu Jingnian for. Soon after, she heard the door close.
When she came out after taking a shower, Lu Jingnian had not yet returned.
Jiang Yue felt that he might have gone out again, and sighed with heartache. Cell phones weren't that convenient back then, and she couldn't find Lu Jingnian anywhere she wanted to ask him where he had gone.
After changing her clothes and lying in bed, Jiang Yue read a book while waiting for Lu Jingnian, but she was so sleepy that she fell asleep without realizing it while holding the book that Old Man Chen had given her.
In her sleep, Jiang Yue felt someone open the door to her room.
At first, Jiang Yue thought it was Lu Jingnian who had returned, but she quickly realized something was wrong. If it were Lu Jingnian, he would have come over and kissed her immediately.
The person entered very quietly; apart from the sound of the door opening, Jiang Yue couldn't hear her footsteps.
Jiang Yue tried to open her eyes when the other person came in, but her eyelids were as if glued shut. Jiang Yue used a lot of strength, but she could only see the other person's blurry figure walking towards her step by step. She couldn't see the other person's face at all.
"Jiang Yue, we've finally met."
The other person stood by the bed, looking at Jiang Yue on the bed, and reached out to pinch her cheek.
"I've used this face for over ten years, and now you've taken it away. I'm so angry!"
"It's you!"
The other person's voice made Jiang Yue instantly recognize her identity; it was the Jiang Yue who had taken her body. The moment she spoke, Jiang Yue seemed to finally break free from some kind of restraint and opened her eyes.
She could clearly see the other person's face. The other person's voice was the same as hers, but their appearance was different.
"You must be surprised to see me."
The other person looked at Jiang Yue with a smug smile and reached out to touch her face.
Jiang Yue felt as if she were bound by something invisible, lying stiffly on the bed, only able to watch helplessly as the other person's hand landed on her face.
"Jiang Yue, you are now pampered by the Jiang family and Lu Jingnian, you must be very happy, right?"
But these are all mine! Why are you trying to take them from me?
"This body originally belonged to me."
Jiang Yue looked at the other party with sharp and wary eyes, "You took advantage of my injury when I was a child, stole my body, and occupied my identity."
"That's because you're too weak. Otherwise, how could I have taken your body? It's not my fault. Blame yourself for being useless."
Jiang Yue, I'm here today to tell you that I'll be back soon. Your identity, all the money you've earned, and Lu Jingnian will all belong to me, and only to me.
The fake Jiang Yue glared at Jiang Yue with a ferocious expression, her hand landing on Jiang Yue's neck.
"Jiang Yue, you can't beat me."
Jiang Yue couldn't move her body and could only watch helplessly as the other person's hand on her neck began to slowly tighten.
Breathing became increasingly difficult, but Jiang Yue's mind slowly cleared. The fake Jiang Yue didn't belong to this era; she couldn't possibly be here...
"You're dreaming if you think you can kill me!"
Jiang Yue bit her tongue hard, and a sharp pain shot through her. She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood at the fake Jiang Yue.
"ah……"
A scream rang out, and the thing binding Jiang Yue vanished instantly.
Jiang Yue suddenly opened her eyes and sat up abruptly in bed, only to find a scarf draped around her neck.
Jiang Yue remembered clearly that she had worn this scarf when she went out yesterday. After returning, she hung it on the clothes rack and didn't touch it again.
But now this scarf is on my neck.
After examining the scarf closely, Jiang Yue knew that her judgment was correct; someone had tried to kill her in her dream using this scarf.
But who would want to kill her?
Could it be the person who helped Su Chen before?
Jiang Yue glanced at the time; it was only 11 a.m., and she had only slept for half an hour.
Because of the dream she just had, Jiang Yue touched her neck and was no longer sleepy. She immediately got up, changed her clothes, grabbed the towel, and planned to go find Old Man Chen.
She didn't know why the other person would suddenly attack her in her dream, but it was definitely not a good thing.
When Jiang Yue went downstairs, there was no one there, and the living room door was closed from the inside, with no signs of it having been opened.
Aunt Zhang was preparing lunch in the kitchen.
Jiang Yue went over and told Aunt Zhang, then quickly went out the door.
After leaving the compound, for safety reasons, Jiang Yue found a secluded spot, put on a mask and hat, and then took out the mannequin she had kept and had it walk in front of her.
After confirming that there was no danger ahead, Jiang Yue continued walking forward.
The dummy encountered no trouble along the way and soon arrived at the small courtyard where Old Man Chen lived.
The gate to the courtyard was open. Jiang Yue followed the dummy into the courtyard before putting it away.
Old Chen wasn't in the courtyard at the moment, but the gate was open, so he should be nearby. Jiang Yue took off her mask, sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, and waited for a while.
In less than five minutes, Old Man Chen returned carrying a fish.
Upon seeing Jiang Yue, Old Man Chen was visibly taken aback, then frowned.
"Girl, you've run into trouble so soon."
Old Chen put the fish in his hand into the kitchen, washed his hands, and looked Jiang Yue up and down.
"Master, the one who attacked me this time is very likely the same person who used others to steal my luck..."
Jiang Yue quickly recounted what she had just dreamt to Old Man Chen.
She had already told Old Man Chen about her situation before, and Old Man Chen knew about how her luck had been taken away.
"According to what you just said, the person who attacked you this time did indeed have an expert guiding them behind the scenes. However, the person who attacked you is a novice. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to break her dream control technique so easily."
