"Teacher Wen helped me move furniture and hurt his hand. It took a long time to heal. If I don't treat him to a meal, wouldn't I be an ungrateful wretch?"
Lu Xiangnan whispered, "If moving furniture can cause injuries, I certainly won't."
He was a little jealous of Wen Qi, but he didn't say it.
If the two of them had met earlier, he would never have given Wen Qi the opportunity to help Jiang Tian with her work; he could have taken care of everything for her himself.
Lu Xiangnan thought for a while, then started bringing up old grievances again: "Then why didn't you answer my calls when you were having dinner with him? Besides, I saw you, you must have seen me, but you didn't even say hello to me."
"After answering your call, I probably lost my appetite; I was already conflicted at the time. As for saying hello... that girl was crying after being rejected by you. Do you think it would be appropriate for me to go and say hello to you?"
Very good... From her perspective, it seems there's no problem.
He racked his brains and then thought, "Then I'll call you when I'm drunk. I've called so many times but you haven't answered."
"Are you really planning to bring up all the old grievances today?"
Lu Xiangnan knew he was being naive, but he just wanted to get to the bottom of everything and find evidence that Jiang Tian cared about him.
“When you called me, there was too much work at the store. One of the employees was on leave, and I had to run the business. I wasn’t as free as you, and I couldn’t go out drinking.” Jiang Tian’s tone was cool.
“In the past two years, I only drank it once, and I have remained chaste and haven’t let them do anything to me.”
Lu Xiangnan wished he could swear an oath to the heavens.
“Okay, I’ll trust you this once,” Jiang Tian said to him.
Lu Xiangnan kissed her cheek, and just as he was about to ask something else, he heard Jiang Tian ask softly, "How have you been these past two years...?"
For some reason, Lu Xiangnan felt a pang of sadness.
He deliberately told Jiang Tian in a relaxed tone, "Just like that, go home and be a rich second generation, go to university, inherit the family business, and when you have some money, start your own company."
There's no need to tell Jiang Tian how much suffering he endured behind his seemingly glamorous facade.
Jiang Tian stroked his eyebrows and briefly recounted her past.
She earned her own money and spent it as she pleased. After doing several jobs that interested her, she started working in the catering industry by chance. Later, she met a partner who provided the funds and she provided the ideas. After making money, she came here to open a shop.
Jiang Tian added, "Don't be jealous, that partner is a woman."
Neither of them mentioned how much hardship they had endured behind the scenes, but it seemed as if they both knew.
After gazing into each other's eyes for a few seconds, as if seeing a spark in each other's eyes, Lu Xiangnan cupped Jiang Tian's face and kissed her again as if she were a precious treasure.
This kiss was less innocent; Lu Xiangnan couldn't help but extend his hand further inside.
The familiar softness and smoothness gave him a sense of satisfaction, but also made him even thirstier.
"Don't push it."
Jiang Tian glared at him.
Lu Xiangnan didn't retract his hand; he closed his eyes and said, "Let me catch my breath."
After calming down for a while, Lu Xiangnan asked her, "So, we're officially back together, right?"
“Right…” Jiang Tian paused for a moment, then asked him, “During those two years, you really weren’t angry with me?”
Lu Xiangnan's eyes welled up with tears: "Don't be angry. I've always hated myself for being so incompetent. I'm overjoyed that you're willing to make up with me."
If he had enough ability and status, they wouldn't have been unable to continue.
"It's that look in your eyes that seduces me. I've always tried to stay on the same path, but when you look at me with that expression, I feel like I'm committing a crime."
Jiang Tian sighed, "Never mind, it's better to live in a daze. Even now, I still don't know how far you and I can go. But if it's you, I'm willing to give it a try."
A dizzying feeling, as if struck by immense happiness, overwhelmed Lu Xiangnan.
Having spent so much time together, he understood Jiang Tian's personality better than anyone else; she was indeed the kind of person who wouldn't easily turn back.
But he became her exception.
This kind of unparalleled favoritism was something Lu Xiangnan, who had never experienced family affection or love since childhood, dared not even dream of, yet he received it.
He blinked, and a tear fell onto Jiang Tian's neck.
Why are you still so prone to crying?
Lu Xiangnan hadn't cried since returning, but his eyes welled up with tears countless times when he saw Jiang Tian, and this time he even shed tears directly.
He said slowly, "I'm happy."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Before Jiang Tian could speak, Lu Xiangnan rushed out, grabbed the items, closed the door, and then, after a moment's thought, locked it again.
"Sis, you don't have any customers at the shop today, right?"
His question was too broad, so Jiang Tian thought for a moment before saying, "I don't think I need to go over there."
"Okay, then we have time..."
Lu Xiangnan took out the necessities and waved them at her.
Jiang Tian wore an expression that was hard to describe.
Some things can be discussed slowly, but some things need to be done quickly.
Lu Xiangnan quickly began to take off the clothes of the two of them.
