Qiao Anhao stared at Lu Jinnian without saying a word. Lu Jinnian sighed helplessly. Without any warning, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace, locking her in place. "It's getting late, let's sleep."
Lu Jinnian's embrace made Qiao Anhao's agitated heart calm down. Even though they were separated by their clothes, she could still feel his warmth. The candlelight flickered, and the atmosphere was gentle. She rested her head on his arm, listening to his heartbeat. In that instant, she felt at ease.
She couldn't help but think about what had happened recently. Even though he looked indifferent as usual, she could feel that his concern for her was very obvious. Tonight at the Golden Lounge, he had held her hand. Also, he had carried her home to celebrate her birthday... In the past, he had never done these things to her.
Why did he suddenly treat her so differently?
In the end, Qiao Anhao came up with a bold hypothesis. Could it be that after spending so much time with her, he had developed feelings for her?
The moment this thought popped up in her mind, Qiao Anhao's mind became even more confused. She felt inexplicably nervous, and couldn't help but open her eyes to look at Lu Jinnian.
His eyes were shut, and his expression was calm, as though he was about to fall asleep.
Between his brows, there was still a trace of indifference and aloofness that he was born with.
As Qiao Anhao stared at Lu Jinnian, she felt an urge in her heart, and that urge grew stronger and stronger. In the end, she couldn't help but call out his name. "Lu Jinnian?"
When Lu Jinnian heard her voice, he instinctively responded with an "Mmh" before opening his eyes.
The moment she met his gaze, Qiao Anhao started to panic. The words "Do you like me" were stuck in her throat. Her mind started to clear up. Lu Jinnian had once said that no matter who he liked in this lifetime, it would never be her. Was she thinking too much?
Lu Jinnian frowned when he saw that Qiao Anhao didn't react. "What's wrong?"
Qiao Anhao snapped back to her senses and looked at him. After a moment of hesitation, she found a more tactful way to ask, "Are you sleepy?"
Hugging a woman in his arms, a woman he liked, as long as that man was normal, he wouldn't fall asleep. Lu Jinnian cleared his throat. "I'm not sleepy."
Then she asked again, "What's wrong?"
"Yeah." After a moment of silence, Qiao Anhao asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead," Lu Jinnian answered readily.
Qiao Anhao was a little nervous. Her hands silently gripped the blankets, and with a hint of desperation, she asked her question, "What do you think isn't good enough about me?"
Qiao Anhao's question left him dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to answer it at that moment.
In his heart, she was the most beautiful thing in the world.
Qiao Anhao looked at Lu Jinnian's silence, which made her even more nervous. She opened her mouth to ease the atmosphere, explaining her sudden question. "It's like this, before, Brother Jiamu told me that you have someone you like."
