"Will you lift the covers yourself, or should I help you?"
Jiang Yue crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow to ask the man who was still huddled under the covers.
The man under the covers didn't move...
Jiang Yue: "..."
"You're not coming out, are you?"
Jiang Yue gritted her teeth, then suddenly took out two pieces of osmanthus candy from her pocket and stuffed them into the other person's blanket. Her hand was grabbed as soon as she put it in.
Jiang Yue tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't.
The candy in her palm was taken away, and then Jiang Yue felt her hand being pressed against the man's chest. She could feel Lu Jingnian's strong heartbeat.
At that moment, Jiang Yue's heart, which had been hanging in suspense for him, was instantly at peace.
"Lu Jingnian, come out."
He won't come out unless we call his name, right?
Jiang Yue knew that Duan Suyao had asked Yao Hua to accompany her to the bathroom just now in order to distract Yao Hua and make Lu Jingnian come out of the quilt.
Do you want to suffocate yourself?
Although it's autumn now, the weather isn't cold yet, so it's still a bit hot to be wrapped up in the blankets like this.
Jiang Yue's hand was placed on Lu Jingnian's chest, and she could clearly feel the thin layer of damp sweat on the man's body.
The blanket on the upper bunk was pulled down, and Lu Jingnian tightly gripped Jiang Yue's hand. His usually cold eyes looked at Jiang Yue with a hint of panic.
Lu Jingnian immediately apologized, "Wife, I'm sorry."
His tall figure was curled up on the bed, looking like a big dog that had done something wrong; he looked extremely docile at that moment.
Why are you saying sorry?
Jiang Yue raised her other hand and touched his forehead.
“I’m sorry I made you worry,” Lu Jingnian replied earnestly. “And I also scared you yesterday.”
"I'll settle the score with you about yesterday when you get home." Jiang Yue wasn't angry; she just felt sorry for him. "Lu Jingnian, you don't need to apologize to me. I know you're on a mission."
I'm worried about you, but I'm also very proud of you. I don't know what your mission is, but I know what you're doing is remarkable.
As she spoke, Jiang Yue pulled Lu Jingnian up. She didn't actually have the strength to pull Lu Jingnian up; Lu Jingnian sat up on his own, following her movements.
Jiang Yue quickly gave him some food.
"How about trying my shredded pork pancakes?"
Duan Suyao didn't know how long she would be taking Yao Hua, so she wanted Lu Jingnian to finish his meal first.
Lu Jingnian didn't want to eat at all. He just wanted to hug Jiang Yue tightly because of what she had just said. Yueyue understood him and was empathetic, which really touched Lu Jingnian.
"Eat quickly, or you'll have to hide again when Yao Hua comes."
Jiang Yue could tell that Lu Jingnian and Duan Suyao didn't want Yao Hua to know about this.
Lu Jingnian resisted the urge to pounce on Jiang Yue and took the crepe from her hand, taking a big bite.
Jiang Yue was afraid he would choke, so she couldn't help but say to him, "Eat slowly, no one is going to take it from you." After saying that, Jiang Yue quickly handed the water to Lu Jingnian, "Drink some water. When Yao Hua comes back in a while, I'll switch places with her. That way, she won't be able to see you while she's lying in bed, and you won't have to hide under the covers all the time."
"Um."
Lu Jingnian nodded and quickly finished his meal.
Jiang Yue handed him a peeled orange and asked, "Did you ask your brother to arrange the train tickets for me and Yao Hua?"
Is there something I need to do?
Although Jiang Yue hadn't been with Lu Jingnian for very long, she knew very well that Lu Jingnian wasn't the kind of person who would joke about missions. Yesterday, his following her might have been a coincidence, and it was to protect her, but Lu Jingnian's reappearance on the train today was no coincidence.
He must have a plan.
Lu Jingnian looked at her, and then smiled. His Yueyue was really smart.
"yes."
Lu Jingnian nodded, took out an envelope and handed it to Jiang Yue, "This is what we got last night. We need to hand it over in S City, but Duan Suyao and I will be monitored once we get to S City, so we won't have a chance to hand it over."
Last night Jiang Zheng told me you were going to S City, so I asked him to make some last-minute arrangements.
Fearing that Jiang Yue might be scared, Lu Jingnian gently explained to her, "Don't be afraid, there won't be any danger. When you get to S City, someone will meet you. I've made all the arrangements."
If he wasn't certain there would be no danger, Lu Jingnian would never have let Jiang Yue do this.
Jiang Yue took the envelope without curiously looking at what was inside. She earnestly said to Lu Jingnian, "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it safely as you said."
Lu Jingnian touched Jiang Yue's face tenderly, "You've lost weight while I was away these past two days." Her eyes were also a dull gray, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept or eaten well.
Jiang Yue folded the envelope and carefully put it away close to her body.
Hearing Lu Jingnian's words, she glared at him playfully, "It's all because I was worried about you."
"But you don't need to worry. Now that you're right here with me, I can finally get some rest."
As Jiang Yue spoke, she beckoned to Lu Jingnian with her finger.
Lu Jingnian thought she wanted to whisper something, so he leaned closer to Jiang Yue. Instead, Jiang Yue cupped his face and kissed him forcefully on the lips, then threatened him with a cute but fierce look, like a little wolf cub:
"When you get home, I'm going to settle the score with you properly. I'll blindfold you, tie your hands, and make you cry."
Lu Jingnian couldn't help but laugh, and whispered in Jiang Yue's ear, "Okay, I'll let you bully me to your heart's content. You can bully me however you want, I'll do whatever you want."
After all, I really love being around you; I can't sleep without you.
