Lu Jinnian woke up early in the morning and arrived at the Mount Yi villa district. As he had a slight fever, he hadn't been able to sleep well. Listening to Qiao Anhao's incessant chatter, he unknowingly fell asleep.
He slept exceptionally soundly. When he woke up again, the sky outside the window was already dark. The lights in the room weren't turned on, so it was pitch black.
Lu Jinnian reached for the remote control and turned on the lights in the villa. Seeing that he was alone in the bedroom, he instinctively raised his hand to touch the bandage on his back. After confirming that Qiao Anhao had really been there in the afternoon, he hurriedly got off the bed and walked out of the bedroom.
The villa was very quiet. Other than his footsteps, there was no other sound. The floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor were not closed, and the night breeze blew the curtains continuously. Lu Jinnian circled the entire villa, but he couldn't find Qiao Anhao. He couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. She had already left...
Lu Jinnian stood alone in the empty living room for a long time. Pursing his lips, he strode up the stairs and looked around the bedroom. In the end, he saw a few extra pills on the bedside table. His gaze instantly froze, and after staring at them silently for a long time, he pulled out a cigarette from the drawer beside him. He lit it up, but before he could start smoking, he heard some faint movements downstairs.
Lu Jinnian furrowed his brows, listening carefully. There were indeed light footsteps coming from downstairs, so he put out the cigarette in the ashtray. He quickly got up and walked out of the bedroom. Just as he reached the staircase, he saw Qiao Anhao huffing and puffing as she carried a large bag into the dining room.
Lu Jinnian took large strides down the stairs at a moderate pace, walking towards the dining room.
The dining room door wasn't closed, so he saw Qiao Anhao pouring the takeout she had brought back onto plates, neatly placing them on the dining table.
Lu Jinnian didn't make a sound to disturb Qiao Anhao. He just leaned against the dining room door, watching silently.
Qiao Anhao tidied up everything, looked at the dishes on the table, and clapped her hands in satisfaction. She then turned to call Lu Jinnian for dinner, but when she saw him standing leisurely at the door, she jumped in shock. She smiled at him. "You're awake? Let's wash our hands and eat. "
Lu Jinnian didn't move. He stared into her eyes for a while before asking, "You went out just now to get takeout?"
Qiao Anhao nodded, her voice carrying a hint of complaint. "You live too far away, you don't even want to deliver food, so I have to drive myself to buy it."
So she didn't leave... Lu Jinnian felt slightly more at ease. He slowly straightened his body and turned to head to the public restroom on the first floor to wash his hands. When he came back, Qiao Anhao was already sitting obediently in front of the dining table, waiting for him.
When she saw him enter, she said, "I don't know how to cook, and I don't know what you like, so I bought some light food."
Lu Jinnian pulled out the chair in front of her and sat down. He swept a glance at the five dishes and one soup on the table. There was a mix of meat and vegetables, and it was nutritionally balanced. He nodded at Qiao Anhao, then picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
After a few mouthfuls, he raised his head to look at Qiao Anhao, who was eating silently. He paused for a moment, then tried to find a topic of conversation. "How did you get in?"
