As soon as Lu Xining finished speaking his comforting words, Jin Shaoheng's sarcastic voice came from the other end.
She was startled for a moment, surprised that he would be angry, but she clearly didn't mean it that way.
Just as he was about to explain, the other end suddenly hung up the phone.
Lu Xining's heart was suffocated. At that time, he forgot about those fears and worries. He only felt a soreness spreading in his heart.
Why?
Because he abandoned her so easily? But they were not relatives in the first place. Whether Jin Jue hated him or took care of him, it was all because of Jin Shaoheng, and the same was true for her.
So, why is she sad?
There were some footsteps outside, and Lu Xining came back to her senses. She subconsciously turned off the light.
This move was stupid, because if it was really Gu Yuzhi, it would be too late no matter what he did.
But you have to do something, right? Even if it’s just to deceive yourself and pretend that no one is in the house.
Her eyes were fixed on the door panel, and her heart was almost in her throat. It wasn't until she heard the footsteps fading away that she breathed a sigh of relief.
But I couldn't feel at ease, but I was still worried.
There was still lightning and thunder outside the window, and the rain seemed to be falling harder. She didn't know if Jin Shaoheng would come or if he would send someone.
Time seemed to pass in silence for so long that her legs became numb when she stood, and finally she sat huddled in the corner.
Knock knock!
In the quiet space, there was a sudden knock on the door. She looked over alertly, fearing that it was Gu Yuzhi.
After thinking for a while, she went into the kitchen and got a kitchen knife. She thought to herself that in the worst case, they would both die together, which would be regarded as revenge.
"Lu Xining!" It was Jin Shaoheng's voice that came from outside.
Lu Xining was stunned again. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was hallucinating because of his excessive hope, or if it was really him.
"Lu Xining!"
Until Jin Shaoheng's anxious voice came from outside again, and the door panel shook.
She was finally sure it wasn't an illusion, put down the kitchen knife and hurried over to open the door.
He was indeed here, his tall figure standing there with the backlight still making it difficult to see his expression.
But for Lu Xining, at that moment, he was like a knight coming through all the obstacles to protect her.
Lu Xining looked at him steadily, and for some reason his eyes turned red all of a sudden.
Jin Shaoheng noticed her change in mood, took a step forward and said, "Don't be afraid, Gu Yuzhi didn't come."
This was said with certainty, and it was obvious that Gu Yuzhi's whereabouts had been determined.
A flash of surprise flashed in Lu Xining's eyes, as if he was saying that since he hadn't come until Gu Yuzhi, why did he come here at the risk?
Jin Shaoheng suddenly hugged her, but it seemed that because his body could not support it, he put his weight on her.
Lu Xining took a step back to stabilize himself and him, and then found that he was wet all over.
Yes, it's so windy and rainy outside that I can't even hold an umbrella.
The rainwater on his body quickly soaked into her clothes.
"Jin Jue?" Lu Xining called worriedly.
She remembered that he had just been discharged from the hospital today and his physical condition was not good to begin with.
"It's okay." He said.
Lu Xining quickly helped him in, sat on the sofa, and gave him a towel.
"You...are not angry anymore?" Lu Xining asked hesitantly.
When she just hung up the phone, she clearly felt his anger, so she thought he wasn't coming back.
Jin Shaoheng stopped wiping his hair, looked at her with deep eyes, and asked, "Why should I be angry?"
Although he tried his best to control himself, his strange tone still revealed his emotions.
Lu Xining thought he was complaining about Jin Shaoheng, so he accepted it because he was worried about her coming.
The space was silent. Lu Xining looked at his clothes sticking to his body, water dripping onto the floor, and a pool of water stains forming around his feet.
Frowning, he was discharged from the hospital today: "How about you take a bath first?"
A man and a woman alone, I noticed a bit of ambiguity when the words came out.
But she was really worried about his health. It was better to take a hot bath to drive away the cold than to go back to the hospital.
Jin Shaoheng frowned, thinking that she was not afraid that he would do evil to her?
Lu Xining had already entered the bathroom.
She is a small boss now, and her living environment is not bad. The bathtub is not as good as Jin Shaoheng's, but it can still play its role.
Lu Xining sat by the bathtub and filled the water, reaching in to adjust the temperature from time to time.
What was running through his mind was the figure that had just appeared at the door. When he came back to his senses, he saw that Jin Shaoheng had followed him in at some point and was staring at him intently.
Lu Xining felt slightly flustered, but he pretended to be calm and said, "It's almost done. You wash up first." After that, he went out.
Leaning against the door panel, I didn't know why, but I quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She went to the kitchen to make ginger soup, and when she brought it out, she saw Jin Shaoheng had come out.
It's just that he has no clothes on, only a bath towel wrapped around his waist, and his skin is so white that it's dazzling.
As for her figure, although she is thin, her muscles are tight and she is still quite good.
Lu Xining subconsciously covered his eyes and asked, "Why did you come out like this?"
I don’t know there is a woman in the house, do I need to avoid suspicion?
"You want me to wear wet clothes?" Then what's the point of taking a bath?
But can you catch a cold if you do this? Even though she has raised the room temperature, it is not suitable to face each other like this.
"Drink the ginger soup first." She subconsciously avoided him with her eyes.
Jin Shaoheng also cooperated and took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Lu Xining did not dare to look around, and looked directly at him just in time to see his Adam's apple rolling, and the ginger soup overflowing from the corners of his lips dripping down his neck, with an inexplicable taste of desire all the way down.
Lu Xining did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly went into the cloakroom to find pajamas. When he came out again, he had calmed down.
"Put it on first." She handed him the clothes.
"Why do you have men's clothes here?" The man was concerned about another question.
"My brother's, I just don't know if it suits you or not." Lu Xining explained.
Lu Yuzheng has recovered very well in recent years and has grown taller very quickly, but he is still very thin.
But his thinness has a youthful look, which is different from the man in front of him. After all, his adult frame is there.
Fortunately, the pajamas are loose-fitting, so there is no problem.
But after she handed it to him for a long time and he didn't answer it, she finally remembered whether he, like Jin Shaoheng, had mysophobia or was picky or something like that?
But when did this happen?
"Your body is important, so just make do with it first."
Lu Xining lowered his eyes and wanted to stuff the clothes directly into his arms, but he didn't dare to look at him to avoid suspicion, so he missed the mark.
The palm of her hand pressed directly on the sensitive point on his chest. The moment it touched, Lu Xining was stunned.
Then her wrist tightened and he moved her away. As a result, she became unsteady and her face hit his chest.
