Jiang Yanzhou’s lips curled up. “You’ll lose interest in me if I tell you.”
That was true, but…
“That’s not the reason you hid it from me.”
It wasn’t Lu Yang’s style to rub salt on someone’s wound.
If she knew he fainted at the sight of needles, she wouldn’t have repeatedly thought about giving him injections or acupuncture.
Jiang Yanzhou seemed to remember something, and a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. He asked, “What about you?”
Lu Yang remained composed. “What about me?”
“Did you know from the beginning that I was interested in you, which is why you said you wanted to touch me?”
Lu Yang’s fingertip moved, lifting her eyelid and meeting his gaze.
Jiang Yanzhou asked, “How did you find out?”
Since he asked, she had nothing to hide.
Lu Yang averted her gaze, staring at the cup in her hand as she slowly spoke, “Do you remember the medal?”
Jiang Yanzhou murmured in agreement.
“The Guinness World Record doesn’t have a medal.” Lu Yang’s eyes lowered her deep dark irises, as she appeared lost in thought. “I checked, and that medal was custom-made by you.”
Jiang Yanzhou’s gaze weighed heavily, locking onto her. In an instant, his lips involuntarily curved.
“It is the essence of human nature to do so.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang let out a light and graceful laugh, like a blooming flower.
She had indeed been deceived by him at the beginning.
She thought he was easily embarrassed.
But the initial misjudgment didn’t change the fact that he was her prey from beginning to end.
However, she never expected the prey to go insane.
Nor did she anticipate that the prey would take care of the hunter’s emotions.
The candid conversation made both of their lips curve imperceptibly.
Lu Yang had just taken a shower and was wearing a set of cotton pajamas and sleep pants. Her hair was still damp as she was in a hurry to eat. When Jiang Yanzhou brushed his hand through her hair, it was still slightly wet. He held her hand. “Dry your hair, or you might catch a cold.”
Jiang Yanzhou pulled her into the bedroom, and she sat on the chair. She watched the man in the mirror diligently blow-drying her hair, who has a hint of sheepishness lingering at the corners of his eyes. He has a high nose bridge and outstanding temperament.
Jiang Yanzhou’s fingers, passing through her hair, were clearly defined with slender, fair, and clean knuckles.
It was late outside. He played with Lu Yang’s long hair, and the hot wind brushed through her strands. Lu Yang’s scalp was enveloped in the warmth, and as she looked at the reflection of them in the mirror. She gradually lost focus, succumbing to a faint sense of intoxication.
Jiang Yanzhou flicked the switch of the hairdryer with his thumb, and as the noise of the blow dryer ceased, Lu Yang’s thoughts drifted back.
Jiang Yanzhou held the hairdryer, resting his chin lightly on her shoulder, and met her gaze in the mirror. “You’ve been tired all night. Rest well and see you tomorrow morning.”
Lu Yang yawned gently at the mention of being tired. “I’m busy in the morning. How about noon?” “What are you busy with?”
“I will be busy sleeping.”
Jiang Yanzhou was slightly taken aback and mused inwardly, “Busy sleeping? Isn’t that just oversleeping?”
Jiang Yanzhou curved his lips, put down the hairdryer, and stretched out his long arm to gently embrace her as she stood up. “Goodnight,” he smiled. “See you tomorrow at noon.”
‘Yeah… Goodnight.”
After Lu Yang finished washing up, she lifted the covers, crawled into bed, turned off the light, and quickly fell asleep.
When Jiang Yanzhou came out, he tidied up the dining table and kitchen. He caught sight of the bracelet on the crystal table in front of the couch and smiled with delight, pursing his lips.
To avoid getting it dirty, he took off the bracelet.
Jiang Yanzhou held the bracelet in his hand, walked quietly to the door of her room, and tentatively reached out to turn the doorknob.
The door wasn’t locked.
The curtains in the room were tightly drawn, leaving no trace of light. He opened the door, and the light from outside seeped in through the cracks.
Jiang Yanzhou gently smoothed Lu Yang’s hair with his hand and took her hand out, putting the bracelet on her wrist. He tenderly placed a kiss on the back of her hand.
Jiang Yanzhou tucked her hand under the soft blanket to keep her warm. He couldn’t help but raise his hand and lightly touch her lips, feeling their softness.
Jiang Yanzhou felt hesitant to leave once he saw her.
He took a deep breath, spending some time mentally preparing himself. After a long while, he finally made up his mind to leave.
But at that moment, his hand was caught by a soft and warm grip.
Lu Yang frowned, slowly opening her eyes, and with a sleepy voice, she murmured, “Yanzhou…?”
Jiang Yanzhou turned around, feeling somewhat guilty. “Did I wake you up?
Lu Yang looked at him with sleepy eyes and asked, “What time is it? Why haven’t you left yet?”
“It’s past one o’clock. I was just about to leave, ” he explained.
“Past one o’clock…” Lu Yang mumbled, “Then don’t leave…”
Jiang Yanzhou’s eyes darkened.. “You want me not to leave?”
