She lay on Lu Jingchi's shoulder, staring at the seemingly endless horizon in front of her, her eyelids drooping.

Lu Jingchi stepped on the petals on the ground and walked slowly on the road.

Occasionally people passing by will cast envious glances.

Neither of them spoke a word and walked quietly on the sidewalk, just like he had carried her home countless times before.

Jiang Lan knew that when he woke up again, he would be home.

...

An hour later, Lu Jingchi returned to the hotel.

He put Jiang Lan on the bed. She had fallen asleep and slept peacefully.

He sat down, took off her shoes, and covered her with the quilt.

Lu Jingchi stared at her for a long time, then reached out to tuck the hair from her face behind her ears, and moved his fingers on her cheeks.

The room was quiet and the curtains were floating in the breeze.

After a while, Lu Jingchi stood up, walked out of the room, and closed the bedroom door.

He took the stool and was about to push it against the door, but hesitated for a moment and finally put the stool back.

He closed the door, turned around and left the hotel.

It's getting late.

In the hospital, Xia Yan has woken up.

She opened her eyes weakly and turned her head to look. When she saw the people around her, her eyes changed.

Xia Yan herself didn't expect that what she saw when she woke up was not Lu Jingchi, but Lu Yanqi.

Thinking of what happened in the alley that day, Xia Yan's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to get up, but fell back because of her physical weakness.

Lu Yanqi looked at her indifferently, not knowing whether it was due to the light in the room or something else, but Xia Yan couldn't see his gaze under the lenses.

All she knew was that he was looking at her.

"Why is it you?" Xia Yan asked with a frown.

Lu Yanqi sat down on the chair, stared at Xia Yan for a few seconds, and then said, "I heard that Miss Xia was injured. Come and take a look. Why, no one is taking care of Miss Xia?"

These words really stabbed Xia Yan in the heart.

Xia Yan's heart felt heavy, especially when she recalled Lu Jingchi's attitude and what he had said, it felt empty.

Lu Yanqi asked: "What's wrong with Miss Xia? Why can't she think about committing suicide?"

Xia Yan moved the corners of her mouth, not wanting to talk to Lu Yanqi.

She didn't know it before, but that night he deliberately lured Lu Jingchi there, and Xia Yan knew that these two people were not to be dealt with.

Lu Yanqi was not angry because of her silence. He still said to himself, "Is it because of Director Lu?"

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, frowned, and looked at Lu Yanqi's face for a long time.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Lu Yanqi said: "I came to visit Miss Xia just out of concern. Don't be so hostile to me."

"Do you think I will believe it? Do you want to know the news about Lu Jingchi from me? Just give up, I won't tell you anything."

Lu Yanqi smiled and said, "Director Lu is so lucky to have someone as infatuated as Miss Xia who loves him deeply, but I wonder if he also loves you as deeply as Miss Xia?"

While talking and laughing, he stabbed Xia Yan's heart full of holes. Xia Yan didn't know whether she was angry or sad, her chest was heaving violently.

She grabbed the quilt and felt sharp pain in her wrist.

Seeing the half-smile on Lu Yanqi's face, Xia Yan tried her best to calm down and said angrily: "Are you sowing discord?"

Lu Yanqi thought for a while and said calmly: "If you insist on thinking that way, it's not impossible."

Xia Yan no longer wanted to talk nonsense with him, and turned her head away from him, "I won't believe your nonsense, I won't believe a word of your words, you can get out!"

"Then what if I say that I can make Jiang Lan disappear?" Lu Yanqi said leisurely.

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Lu Yanqi, "What did you say?"
