Before heading south, Lu hired a private investigator and set aside a large sum of money. As instructed, the private investigator kept an eye on the illegitimate child every day and captured many secrets.
For example, the illegitimate son's affair with one of Lu Xiangnan's father's mistresses, and so on.
Lu Xiangnan instructed the detective to send the evidence to his father's email address once it was almost collected.
After waiting for so long, the bombshell finally dropped.
The illegitimate child was beaten up by Lu Xiangnan's father and ended up in the hospital.
It's estimated that everything he did will be exposed soon.
To prevent his father from focusing his attention on Lu Xiangnan and discovering that he was the one who set up the scheme, he needed to wait a while longer.
Actually, he can go back now. He can stay with Zhuzi and the others first, since the danger has passed.
After listening, Lu Xiangnan only said that he had something to do here and would stay for a while longer.
Zhu Zi didn't think much of it. Lu Xiangnan always had his own ideas. Those of them who didn't get a good education weren't as smart as him. If he said something was wrong, then something was definitely wrong.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiangnan stood there for several seconds before continuing to wipe the table.
Jiang Tian walked in carrying a bag of fruit and asked him, "Have you finished your call?"
Lu Xiangnan nodded without saying anything.
Jiang Tian didn't ask about their conversation, but only told him, "I'm not a burden to you. You can do whatever you want."
Lu Xiangnan's expression softened a bit: "Sister, you're overthinking things. I was just asking about the situation over there. You're definitely not a burden to me; I'm more like a burden to you."
Jiang Tian smiled and ruffled his hair.
Lu Xiangnan gazed at her silently, his eyes filled with longing.
That evening, after the two finished dinner, Jiang Tian planned to go next door to teach a neighbor how to knit a sweater.
Lu Xiangnan had just finished peeling the pomelo for her. Seeing that the door to her room wasn't closed properly, he didn't think much of it and was about to push the door open to give her the pomelo when he looked inside. However, his gaze froze.
He saw a smooth, snow-white back.
Her waist was so slender it could be encircled by a single hand.
Lu Xiangnan's mind went blank, buzzing.
My heart seems to be beating out of control.
Lu Xiangnan didn't know how he got back to the house; all he could do in the end was to leave quietly without making a sound.
"Xiao Nan, I'm coming over. You stay home and watch the door."
Lu Xiangnan, who had retreated to his room, heard Jiang Tian's voice and managed to utter a soft "hmm."
Once her footsteps were out of sight, Lu Xiangnan breathed heavily, as if he had survived a disaster.
Lu Xiangnan remained motionless under the covers, his mind filled with the scene he had just witnessed.
Her skin was delicate and white, her waist slender, and her black hair cascaded down her snowy back, swaying gracefully.
The night was silent, and the room facing south was not lit.
Lu Xiangnan did something that even he found extremely dirty.
He closed his eyes, reached out, and pulled down his pants...
When it was all over, Lu Xiangnan washed his hands under the cold water, his lips tightly pressed together, his gaze deep and heavy.
The way the two of them interacted remained unchanged.
The only change in Lu Xiangnan was that he became even less talkative than before.
When Zheng Feifei came to visit, Jiang Tian gossiped with her: "Xiao Nan has been quiet lately. I guess he's just a late bloomer in puberty."
Looking at Lu Xiangnan, who had been working on the construction site for a while and whose figure was getting better and better, Zheng Feifei said, "I really don't know which girl will be lucky enough to marry him in the future."
Jiang Tian and Zheng Feifei huddled together and laughed.
Lu Xiangnan served tea and water to the two people with a blank expression.
Zheng Feifei stayed for an hour and then left. Jiang Tian saw her off herself, leaving Lu Xiangnan at home to tidy up the messy table they had left behind after eating sunflower seeds.
Lu Xiangnan agreed.
After the two of them left, Lu Xiangnan's gaze fell on the glass of water that Jiang Tian had just drunk from.
She drank half of it, and there was still half left.
Lu Xiangnan stared at it for a while. Then, he picked up the glass of water, recalling the end where Jiang Tian's lips had touched it, and pressed his own lips against it, slowly drinking it, sip by sip.
"Xiao Nan, what are you doing?"
