Lu Anran didn't want to admit defeat, but she really didn't have any energy left. She didn't want to give up, so she could only acquiesce to Xu Fengyu's help.
After reaching the finish line, Lu Anran wanted to lie down, but Xu Fengyu didn't let her. "You can't lie down immediately after strenuous exercise. Let's go down the stairs slowly. You can lie down when you reach the lawn."
"Can't I lie down for a while?"
"No. Be good and listen to me. I'll help you down."
"… Okay."
Lu Anran felt like her legs weren't her own. She felt a little light as she went down the stairs. Her whole body was leaning on Xu Fengyu. She looked up at the man beside her. Other than a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, he was fine. Even his breathing was normal. It was as if he wasn't climbing but taking a stroll.
"Aren't you tired?" Lu Anran couldn't help but ask.
"I'm fine."
"Have you learned kung fu?"
"Hmm?"
"Otherwise, why are you so perverted? You're so skilled and your breathing is so stable after strenuous exercise. This can't be achieved by working out. Tell me, where did you learn these skills? "
Xu Fengyu was silent for two seconds before answering. "I was in the army for a year."
"Ah?" Lu Anran was surprised. How many surprises was this man hiding? "You're a soldier like Dad?"
Xu Fengyu's eyes darkened. He used to be hot-blooded and wanted to be like Lu Jinshen and Xu Zihua. He wanted to be a man of indomitable spirit, but Xu Dechang and Liu Lingfeng were firmly against it.
He joined the army without telling them. Liu Lingfeng fainted and almost died when she found out. It was also when they found out that Liu Lingfeng had a myocardial infarction. They were afraid that he would be worried, so they kept it from him.
It wasn't until a year later when he went home to visit his family and saw Liu Lingfeng who couldn't move half of her body that he realized that his decision was a huge blow to her.
Xu Dechang held his hand and said with cloudy eyes, "Child, my son died on the battlefield. Your grandmother and I don't want you to follow in his footsteps. If you really care about Grandpa and Grandma, then don't join the army, okay?"
He had promised Xu Dechang to retire from the army.
He no longer dared to spurt out the hot blood in his heart.
He felt guilty and felt that he was the cause of Liu Lingfeng's stroke. Therefore, when Liu Lingfeng asked him to sing when she passed away, he agreed.
"Xu Fengyu," Lu Anran called out when she saw Xu Fengyu's erratic expression.
"Hmm?" Xu Fengyu snapped back to reality.
"What happened to you?"
"I'm fine."
"But you don't look well," Lu Anran said with concern.
"I'm fine."
"… Oh." Lu Anran felt that Xu Fengyu must have thought of his mother. She remembered the time when he was frightened in his sleep. Her heart ached for him, but she didn't know how to comfort him.
The two of them were silent until they reached the bottom of the stairs.
Lu Anran pulled Xu Fengyu and said sweetly, "Brother, let's lie down together for a while?"
Xu Fengyu sat on the floor. "You lie down."
Lu Anran lay down and tugged at Xu Fengyu's hand. "Lie down?"
Xu Fengyu turned around and glanced at Lu Anran. The girl's bright eyes were filled with obvious concern. Did he make her worried when he was in a daze just now? A part of his heart softened. He followed her lead and lay down. He crossed his arms behind his head and looked at the blue sky.
"Is the sky especially blue?" Lu Anran's voice sounded beside his ear.
Xu Fengyu replied, "Hmm."
"Is it especially vast?"
"Hmm."
"Do you feel better when you look at the vast blue sky?"
Xu Fengyu tilted his head and saw the girl's delicate little face. So she was comforting him? His gaze deepened and he smiled slightly. "I'm fine. Don't worry."
Lu Anran turned to look at Xu Fengyu. His gaze was so deep that she didn't dare to look directly at him. She just glanced at him and looked away. She wanted to say, 'Who's worried about you?' but she was afraid that he would be in a worse mood if she said that. So she held it in and didn't say anything.
The two of them lay down in silence for a while. Then Xu Fengyu sat up.
Lu Anran grabbed his hand. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to buy you some water," Xu Fengyu said as he supported himself on the grass and got up.
"Don't go." Lu Anran pulled his hand forcefully as she spoke.
Xu Fengyu was getting up when she pulled him down. He fell sideways and his body was right next to Lu Anran. His face was right in front of Lu Anran's side profile.
Lu Anran turned around and was about to ask him if he was okay. Only when she turned her face did she realize that he was so close to her.
Their faces were only a few centimeters apart. Although they weren't touching, their breaths were intertwined.
Lu Anran was stunned. She stared blankly at the handsome face that was so close to her. Her heart started to pound uncontrollably and her face quickly turned red.
He didn't move either. He just looked at her deeply.
Their gazes were fixed on each other.
Xu Fengyu lifted his hand and rubbed his thumb gently against the corner of Lu Anran's lips. His voice was mesmerizing and slightly husky. "Your lips are so beautiful."
Lu Anran's heart instantly raced because of his words. Thump, thump, thump. It was as though her heart was about to burst out of her chest. Her gaze unconsciously fell on Xu Fengyu's lips. She realized that his lips were so sexy, thin, and red.
The image of Xu Fengyu kissing her when he was drunk surfaced in her mind.
Actually, she didn't seem to dislike his kiss. She wondered what his kiss tasted like without the smell of alcohol.
Lu Anran was shocked by this shameful thought. Was she crazy? She actually wanted to kiss her brother.
Lu Anran slapped Xu Fengyu's hand away. She quickly sat up on the grass and got up. "I … I'm going to buy some water …" Then she quickly ran off.
Xu Fengyu sat up from the ground. He looked at Lu Anran's fleeing figure. He lowered his head to look at his hand that was red from her slap and sighed softly. She was actually so disgusted with him being so close to her.
When Lu Anran came back from buying water, Xu Fengyu was on the phone. He had one hand in his trouser pocket and his slender figure was facing away from her. Hearing his brief words, Lu Anran knew that the call was from Fan Xintong.
He seemed to sense her gaze and turned to glance at her. Then he turned back to the phone and said, "Tong Tong, don't be unreasonable. That's all. I'll call you back when I'm free." He then hung up the phone. He turned around and asked her, "Are you hungry? Do you want to go get something to eat? "
Lu Anran thought about how he was in a bad mood just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was able to coax a girl again. She didn't know where the fire in her heart came from, but she angrily said, "I'm not hungry." She stuffed the water she bought for Xu Fengyu into his hand, then turned around and strode towards the train stop.
"Aren't you going to play here anymore?" Xu Fengyu followed her.
Lu Anran didn't even turn her head as she said, "I'm not playing anymore."
"Where are we going next?"
Lu Anran stopped in her tracks. She turned around and looked at Xu Fengyu with a cold expression. Her tone was very harsh. "I said I'm not playing anymore. Don't you understand? Go home. Go home, understand? "
