Chapter 116 How could my brother have such thoughts?
It was late at night. Jiang Shixu stood in front of Jiang Tingwan's bed, gazing at her with a serious gaze.
How could he possibly sleep when she was right next to him?
There was only a dim night light in the room, outlining her sleeping figure. She lay on her side, her black hair scattered on the pillow like silk, setting off her snow-white skin. The quilt slipped slightly, revealing her slender collarbone, which rose and fell gently with her breathing, like a quiet painting.
His fingertips gently stroked her forehead, slid along her hair to her ears, and finally stopped at her lips.
The touch was soft and warm, causing his breathing to hitch slightly.
If only we could go back to the past.
Although she was alienated when she was young, at least she only depended on him. But now, there are too many people around her - Lu Zhaoye, Xie Duo, Chen Guan, and even Wen Nian. They have divided her attention, and he can only stand in the distance, watching her laugh, watching her make trouble, and watching her get close to others.
He wanted to let her go so she could feel free, but he also wanted to lock her up by his side, to keep her with him forever, with only him by his side.
Jiang Shixu clenched and unclenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.
He leaned over and placed a very light kiss on her lips, as if he was afraid of waking her from a dream.
——If she wakes up, what will she think of him?
Brother? Or... a man who has a secret desire for her?
He pulled the corners of his mouth in self-mockery, tilted his head back, his Adam's apple rolled, and closed his eyes deeply.
He is always calm and composed, but there are times when he is about to lose control.
How he wanted to hold her in his arms, kiss her deeper, and make her stop calling him "brother" and call him by his name.
Unfortunately, in her eyes, he was just a brother.
How could a brother have such thoughts about his sister?
After an unknown amount of time, he finally forced himself to withdraw his hand, tucked the quilt in for her, and turned to leave.
----------------------------------------------
The early morning sunlight shone into the room through the gauze curtains. Jiang Tingwan rubbed her eyes, walked out of the room, and found that Jiang Shixu's room was empty.
She looked at the tidy bed and couldn't help but admire his self-discipline.
She worked all day and slept late, but she was able to leave on time this morning. If it were her, she would also stay in bed for a while.
She walked to the clothes rack at the door and gently stroked the coat he had draped over her with her fingertips. There was still a faint scent of sandalwood on it, as if he had just left.
He came all the way here just to support her.
She was just wondering whether to have the coat sent back when the doorbell rang.
Who is this point?
When he opened the door, Lu Zhaoye was standing outside. He did not barge in as usual, but instead rang the doorbell politely.
Jiang Tingwan glanced at him from head to toe, her lips curled slightly, and her tone was a bit sarcastic: "Not bad, Mr. Lu finally learned how to ring the doorbell? It seems that taking the right path feels good?"
Lu Zhaoye frowned, not understanding where her anger came from, but he was in a very good mood today and was too lazy to argue with her. He stepped forward, hugged her in his arms, rested his chin on her neck, and took a deep breath.
"I missed you so much, baby."
Jiang Tingwan's mouth twitched, and she felt uncomfortable with his sudden clinginess. She glanced up and down at Lu Zhaoye, "... We haven't seen each other for just one night. Are you in love?
