“No, I’m hungry. I want to cook, but my kitchen knife is broken.” “What do you want to eat? Come up, I’ll cook for you.”
“Really? I’ll come right away!”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yanzhou smiled helplessly.
He didn’t understand why she was so happy. It was just a meal.
Three dishes were placed on the table, and Lu Yang enjoyed her meal. Jiang Yanzhou looked at her and brought up a topic, “What did you have for breakfast?”
Lu Yang honestly replied, “I didn’t have breakfast.”
“You should eat breakfast. Even if you don’t have time to prepare it, you can come up and have it.”
“Do you know what time I leave the house?”
“8:30.”
“Huh, you actually know. Did you install surveillance cameras in my house?” “I wanted to know, but I didn’t need to resort to such despicable means.” “Alright, I won’t pursue it further,” she mused.
Lu Yang took a bite of food and glanced at him, suddenly asking, “Have you never been in a relationship?”
Jiang Yanzhou’s expression carried a hint of caution as he regarded her.
Lu Yang said, “I’m just curious. Someone with your appearance must have been in a few relationships. It seems like you don’t believe in love. Have you been hurt before?”
“What do you mean by my appearance?”
“A demon would exclaim upon seeing you, ‘This is the appearance of a rare beauty in the mortal world.”‘ Lu Yang exaggerated.
“It’s nothing. I was just asking casually. It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it.”
He remained silent for two seconds, then asked, “Why do you want to know?”
“Just getting to know a friend. If you want to know about me, I can tell you that I’ve never been in a relationship and haven’t been hurt.”
She spoke calmly. When the two of them were together, he was the one who seemed reserved and unable to fully open up.
When she bit into a piece of chili and felt it was spicy, Lu Yang quickly drank the water next to her.
Jiang Yanzhou got up, took her empty glass, and said, “I’ll refill it for you.”
“Thank you.”
Lu Yang’s lips were slightly swollen from the spiciness, and in Jiang Yanzhou’s gaze, there was a hint of dangerous intent that flickered and disappeared.
Seeing him in a daze, Lu Yang lifted her glass, meeting his deep gaze, and asked, “Would you like a drink too?”
But the next second, she realized his gaze was focused on the wrong place, and she awkwardly pursed her lips.
At the same time, his Adam’s apple moved up and down twice.
The air seemed thin, and an inexplicable ambiguity silently fermented in the gaps of time.
Lu Yang’s eyes shifted as she said seriously, “My grandmother used to say, during a relationship, look at the flaws; after marriage, look at the virtues.”
Jiang Yanzhou was puzzled.
“I’ve discovered one flaw in you.”
Her tone sounded like she had caught him.
Jiang Yanzhou suddenly felt a bit restless, even though it was already winter. “Jiang Yanzhou, you’re a bit tall. It’s tiring to look up at you.”
Lu Yang had a good sense of proportion when interacting with people— friendly and polite. But if you knew her for a long time, you would discover her mischievous side.
Autumn passed, winter arrived, and the winter days in Huaicheng were bone-chillingly cold, with the wind piercing through. Lu Yang was busy every day, going out early and coming back late , without the energy to pay attention to what was happening upstairs. It was Jiang Jinshi who called her.
“Sister Yang! Uncle is on the verge of death!!”
Lu Yang laughed. “On the verge of death is not the right way to use it.”
“Then how do you use it?”
Jiang Jinshi was a very eager learner, causing the person on the other end of the phone, his uncle, to feel even more troubled.
“It means falling like jade, withering like a flower. It metaphorically refers to the death of a young and beautiful woman.”
Jiang Jinshi’s childish voice said, “Sister Yang, you’re young and beautiful. You can’t wither like jade!”
“It’s sweet of you to say that as a child, but don’t compliment girls that way.
Just compliment them tor being pretty.”
“Okay! Sister Yang, you’re really pretty!”
“Oh, by the way, why did you say your uncle is in that state?” Lu Yang remembered.
“Uncle…” Jiang Jinshi forgot and looked to Jiang Yanzhou for help, pausing for a long time.
Jiang Yanzhou was at a loss for words.
After a while, Jiang Jinshi, with a childish voice, said, “Uncle has had a bad cold for several days, but the medicine isn’t working. Sister Yang, do you have a solution?”
“Did he go to the hospital?”
“Tell him to go to the hospital.” Lu Yang didn’t want to get involved. Whenever she got busy, she would push him aside. Moreover, she vaguely sensed that their relationship had unintentionally crossed a line.
“No! Uncle faints at the sight of needles. He can’t go to the hospital because you’ll give him an injection, Sister!” Jiang Yanzhou couldn’t stop it in time, and Jiang Jinshi blurted it out.
“Faints at the sight of needles?” Lu Yang was somewhat surprised.
‘Yes!”
Then what about last time…
Lu Yang didn’t say anything more. She hung up the phone, changed her clothes, and went upstairs to knock on the door. Jiang Jinshi opened it..
