Chapter 12 Chapter 12 "Mr. Lu, after tonight, you...
12.
The snowball fight didn't last long. The children's attention span was very fast, and while they were running, one of them slipped and slid quite far away. So they gave up the snowball fight and went to "skate".
Even so, Jiang Nian was having a lot of fun. He took off his wet mask and exhaled a cloud of white "mist." He was physically tired, but his heart was filled with joy.
He looked at Lu Zhao. Even if he was the male protagonist in this world, it was impossible for him to remain unscathed while playing snowball fights, let alone so many snowballs. And Lu Zhao always protected him and stood in front of him.
Lu Zhao's suit cuffs, front and hair were a little damp, but he didn't look disheveled. Instead, he looked a bit unruly.
Jiang Nian felt it was amazing. He had originally wanted to fulfill his wish with Chen Rong, but he actually fulfilled it with Lu Zhao. He said to Lu Zhao, "Mr. Lu, after tonight, you will be my good brother who will live and die with me."
The snowstorm intensified. Lu Zhao's shoulders and hair were covered with snowflakes, and his eyelashes were dyed pure white by the falling snowflakes. Under the dim light, he looked incredibly handsome.
Lu Zhao looked at Jiang Nian, lowered his voice consciously, and said in a sweet and seductive tone: "It's my pleasure."
Unfortunately, Jiang Nian didn't notice what Lu Zhao said or what he looked like. He looked down at his watch and said, "We've been out for so long. Let's go back quickly! If we get caught, we're doomed."
Lu Zhao: “…”
Jiang Nian looked up and saw Lu Zhao looking at him with a complicated expression. He tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Zhao smiled: "Nothing."
Jiang Nian put down his phone and urged, "Then let's go back quickly."
As soon as they entered the elevator, Jiang Nian received a message from his mother, saying that she was going to the lounge to find him. Jiang Nian subconsciously asked Lu Zhao what to do.
When people encounter difficulties, they will subconsciously seek help from people they trust. This means that Jiang Nian has begun to trust himself. Tonight's meeting was not entirely fruitless.
Lu Zhao suppressed the smugness in his heart and remained calm: "Don't panic, there's still time."
They did not return to the banquet hall, but went directly to the floor where the lounge was.
After getting out of the elevator, Jiang Nian took off his gloves and scarf as he walked. His feet were like the wind and he walked very fast. Soon his footsteps suddenly stopped. He heard the voices of his mother and Shen Rong talking.
Jiang Nian's breathing paused, it was too late!
Just then, a waiter came over to deliver water to the guests in the room. Jiang Nian and Lu Zhao stopped the man at the same time, and the little girl was startled.
Jiang Nian glanced at Lu Zhao and realized that they were thinking the same thing. He suddenly felt less panicked. Jiang Nian whispered to the girl to help him open the empty room in front of him. After thanking her, he pulled Lu Zhao into the room.
After entering the room, Jiang Nian quickly took off his coat and stuffed a bunch of things into the closet. As soon as he closed the door, his cell phone rang.
Jiang Nian calmed down and answered the phone: "Mom, I just saw your message. Um, are you and Chen Rong coming up? I'm not in that room, wait a moment."
He opened the door and turned the corner. Lan Xin was in the hallway. Shen Rong saw Jiang Nian and walked over.
It wasn’t until the two of them walked in that Jiang Nian softly “explained”: “I forgot that Chen Rong gave me the room card, so I asked the waiter to open another room.”
"Is that so?" Lan Xin took Jiang Nian's hand and said, "How was your rest?"
It looked like he had gotten away with it. Jiang Nian said, "That's good."
The banquet downstairs was in full swing at this time, so not many guests were coming upstairs to rest. The whole floor was very quiet. The three of them walked towards the room where Jiang Nian was resting.
The door of the room Jiang Nian had left was open, and bright light fell on the intricately patterned, thick, plush carpet in the hallway. When Jiang Nian was still a few steps away from the door, he suddenly stopped.
Lu Zhao is still in the room!
He was so focused on not letting his mother find out that he had sneaked out to play that he completely forgot about Lu Zhao. He should have separated from Lu Zhao in the elevator. What should he do now? How would he explain to his mother that he knew Lu Zhao?
Just like he told his brother, he and Lu Zhao hit it off right away? But it was their first meeting, and they were sharing a lounge? Did that make sense?
Seeing Jiang Nian stop, Lan Xin asked, "What's wrong?"
"Oh...it's okay." Jiang Nian's eyes flashed, thinking that with Chen Rong here and Lu Zhao being smart, they would be able to get through it by cooperating with each other.
It will work, don't panic, stay calm!
Jiang Nian took another step and was about to introduce Lu Zhao to his mother as naturally as possible, but when he looked up, he saw that the room was empty. Lu Zhao was not there, so he must have left.
Jiang Nian's mind relaxed, and he relaxed completely. He took two steps and realized something was wrong. Why had he been so nervous just now? It was like he was having an affair behind his parents' backs.
Jiang Nian was shocked by his own idea. He quickly calmed down and invited his mother to sit down.
Lan Xin wasn't tired, she was just worried about Jiang Nian, so she came up to check on him. As the mother and son were talking, Chen Rong noticed that the wardrobe in the room wasn't closed tightly, revealing a corner of a black dress.
While Lan Xin had her back to him, Shen Rong walked over and gently opened the wardrobe. He saw scarves, hats, and gloves piled together in a mess. The exposed piece of clothing was a long black cashmere coat hanging in the wardrobe.
The size and brand of this coat obviously did not belong to Jiang Nian. Shen Rong felt that it looked somewhat familiar, but he had been busy preparing for the dinner these days and had drunk some wine tonight. The fatigue and alcohol made his mind not so clear, and he could not remember it for a while.
Chen Rong unnoticedly tucked the hem of his coat into the closet. The fabric felt damp and cold to the touch, with a few flakes of snow still on it that hadn't completely melted.
Shen Rong touched his wet gloves and confirmed that Jiang Nian had gone out to play in the snow and that someone was with him.
Is this the owner of this black coat? Who could it be?
It was not convenient to talk about this with Jiang Nian now. Chen Rong closed the cabinet door calmly and decided to ask Jiang Nian after the banquet was over.
