Lu Jinnian waited for the bathroom door to close before picking up the cake from the table. He asked Madam Chen to put it in the fridge before leaving the room.
The cold night breeze made him feel slightly more comfortable. Instinctively, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He took out a stick and held it in his mouth. Just as he was about to light it up, he thought back to what Qiao Anhao had told him in the hospital: Smoking isn't good for the body, it's best not to smoke and quit.
He paused for a moment before taking the cigarette out of his mouth and stuffing it back into the pack. Just as he was about to stuff it back into his pocket, he hesitated for a moment before tossing it into the trash can beside him along with the lighter.
Lu Jinnian stood outside the room for about ten minutes, waiting for his body and mind to calm down before turning to go upstairs.
When he pushed open the bedroom door, he heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. Lu Jinnian's heart itched, and the evil fire that he had suppressed with much difficulty flared up again. He walked straight into the changing room, grabbed a set of casual clothes, and left the bedroom. He turned into the room next door to take a cold shower.
When he returned to the bedroom, Qiao Anhao was standing in front of the vanity, ready to blow dry her hair.
Her hair was a little long, and even though she had put on conditioner, it was still wet and tangled. She used her fingers to run her fingers through it.
Lu Jinnian threw the towel in his hands down, walked over, and picked up the comb from the table. Without a word, he started to comb Qiao Anhao's hair.
Qiao Anhao was stunned for a moment. She lifted her head, and through the mirror in front of her, she looked at Lu Jinnian. She didn't say anything, but let her hands fall.
Lu Jinnian combed Qiao Anhao's long hair, then picked up the hairdryer, and started to blow it seriously.
The sound of the hairdryer rang in Qiao Anhao's ears.
When he was done, Lu Jinnian didn't forget to comb Qiao Anhao's long hair again. Then he put the comb down and said, "Done."
Qiao Anhao looked at him through the mirror, forcing a smile, and started to put on her skin care products.
Lu Jinnian didn't say anything, simply blowing his messy hair dry before lying on the bed.
After Qiao Anhao finished applying her skincare products, she climbed into bed. After she laid down, Lu Jinnian turned off the lights when she came out of the shower.
The candles on the floor were still burning, and the room was filled with a milky yellow light.
The two of them laid on the bed, neither of them speaking. It was already late, but Qiao Anhao wasn't the least bit sleepy. In her mind, she kept thinking about how Lu Jinnian had suddenly stopped halfway through. Why did he stop halfway through?
Qiao Anhao had something on her mind, and every now and then, she would move her body. Lu Jinnian, who had finally calmed down after taking a cold shower, started to feel the urge to toss and turn again. In the end, when she turned again, he couldn't take it anymore and reached out to grab her wrist, stopping her from moving around.
When he pulled her, Qiao Anhao thought that he was going to continue what he was doing, but she never imagined that he would just hold her wrist and not do anything else. A faint sense of disappointment and dejection rose in her heart, and she flipped around in annoyance.
"Can't sleep?" With Lu Jinnian's voice, he turned his head and looked at Qiao Anhao with the candlelight in the room.
