Chapter 281
She lowered her head, staring at a point on the ground, her fingertips repeatedly rubbing the hem of her clothes.
Lu Moshu subconsciously repeated, "The money for repairing the car?"
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and quickly took out her phone.
One can almost imagine how impatient the face, covered up so tightly, must be.
Lu Moshu chuckled as he leaned against the door and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
He took out a cigarette, glanced at the girl, but didn't smoke it.
The cigarette was thinner and more refined than the regular ones on the market, twirling between his long, calloused fingers.
Calluses don't detract from the beauty of hands; instead, they possess an indescribable sexual allure.
Lu Moshu said as usual, "It's free, no money required."
A nonchalant tone. This left Jiang You feeling bewildered, recalling that most people in the past were like this, indifferent and nonchalant.
I wish I hadn't come.
Why does she have to have such high moral standards? If she didn't, she wouldn't have run away without paying or saying thank you after the man helped her, and then felt uneasy afterwards.
Therefore, they won't want to pay again when they pass by while picking up goods.
Jiang You's hands, which were holding the phone in front of his chest, clenched tightly and then loosened slightly.
After a long while, she looked up, intending to say thank you before leaving immediately.
What Jiang You didn't expect was that the man was also looking at her.
Even through sunglasses and a mask, the other person's deep, sharp brows and eyes could still make her feel a sense of aggression.
Jiang You was startled, and stammered out a soft "...thank you".
After saying that, she hurriedly turned to leave, but suddenly, she looked in a certain direction and froze as if struck by lightning.
What's going on? Lu Moshu turned his head to look in the direction the other person was looking.
Xia Yan stood quietly at the corner of the stairwell, her profile bathed in cold light, revealing a sickly pallor.
I don't know how long I stood there, or how long I looked, but my lips were pressed into a straight line, and I had no expression.
Lu Moshu turned around and saw the girl looking silly again.
He frowned and clicked his tongue. Could it be that he's fallen in love with his cousin at first sight?
My cousin's appearance does indeed fit the subjective aesthetic standards of today's society; he has that youthful, slender look that's unique to teenagers.
Slender yet not thin, with cool-toned white skin, captivating eyes that seem to gaze affectionately at even dogs, and an air of refined elegance that comes with wealth.
...That's definitely the type of girl she likes.
Behind her sunglasses, Jiang You's pupils were dilated to the extreme, and everything in her vision was swaying.
It wasn't until she remembered that the other person couldn't see her face that she seemed to come back to life, and her stagnant breathing began to move again.
Just stay calm and act like an ordinary person as you go out.
Yes, that's it.
Jiang You turned away, not thinking about why Xia Yan was there, or if he had been exposed. He only told himself: Go back first, go home...
"Wait a moment."
The tone was calm and even, but when it reached Jiang You's ears, his right leg felt like it was filled with lead, and he was rooted to the spot and unable to move.
Xia Yan came downstairs, his gaze falling on the girl as if bathed in moonlight, distant and indifferent yet... bright.
"Do we know each other? You look familiar."
Jiang You shook his head silently and turned to walk outside.
“Excuse me, I need to confirm something,” a voice said softly behind her, and cold fingers gripped her wrist, pulling her face to face with the person.
Xia Yan's other hand gripped the back of her neck with an irresistible force, forcing her to raise her head and meet his gaze through her sunglasses.
Her pupils were still a translucent amber color, the whites of her eyes were clear to the point of being almost icy, and her eyelashes were long and thick—she had a very beautiful pair of eyes.
Xia Yan released Jiang You's wrist and then reached for the sunglasses on her face.
