Qiao Anhao suddenly froze on the spot.
When Lu Jinnian saw who had opened the door, his pupils visibly widened, but soon returned to normal. He stared unwaveringly at Qiao Anhao, but his eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of ice, giving off a very cold feeling.
It had only been half a month since they last met, but Qiao Anhao felt as though they had been separated by a century. His features were still outstanding, but his expression seemed colder than before. The indifference and alienation between his brows was so thick that it seemed like a fog that wouldn't melt.
"Bro, you're here?"
Xu Jiamu's words jolted Qiao Anhao back to reality. Only then did she realize that Lu Jinnian's gaze had unknowingly landed on her chest. She was wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown, revealing a large portion of her delicate collarbone. Qiao Anhao's face started to burn, and she lowered her head unnaturally. She quickly backed away from the door, and said softly to Xu Jiamu, "You take care of them, I'll go upstairs to change."
As she said this, she turned around and jogged up the stairs.
Lu Jinnian stood at the entrance, not moving an inch. Only when Qiao Anhao's silhouette disappeared around the corner of the stairs did he shift his gaze back. He swept a glance at the box in front of Xu Jiamu. Besides vegetables, fruits, and a few spices, there were also a few boxes of condoms. He instantly felt as though he had been electrocuted, and his body trembled violently.
"Bro, why are you still standing here? Come in and sit! " Xu Jiamu couldn't help but remind Lu Jinnian when he saw that he was still standing at the door after so long.
Lu Jinnian acted as though he hadn't heard Xu Jiamu's words, and continued to stare straight at the colorful boxes.
Xu Jiamu furrowed his brows, and called out again, "Bro?"
Lu Jinnian snapped back to his senses. He lowered his eyelids and silently balled his hands into fists. Using all the strength in his body, he forced himself to walk calmly past Xu Jiamu and into the living room. Faced with the greetings of familiar faces, he only nodded absent-mindedly. Then he found an armchair and sat down.
Everyone in the room chatted and laughed happily, but Lu Jinnian sat at the side, not saying a single word. His eyes were fixed on the window, as though he was in a daze. Only when Qiao Anhao came downstairs after changing her clothes did he move his gaze towards her.
With him in the living room, Qiao Anhao felt a little uncomfortable. She chatted with Qiao Anxia and the rest for a while before heading to the kitchen to see if Xu Jiamu could help.
Along the way, Qiao Anhao came out twice, once to bring a pot of hot tea, the other time to bring a plate of fruit.
Qiao Anhao also poured everyone a cup of hot tea. When she brought it to Lu Jinnian, he said the first thing he said since entering the house, "Thank you."
Qiao Anhao lowered her eyes, not looking at Lu Jinnian. She gently tugged the corners of her lips, and walked back into the kitchen.
Even though Xu Jiamu was a young master born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he could already cook a table full of delicious dishes in university.
Even though Qiao Anhao was in the kitchen, she couldn't help at all. At most, she peeled a garlic clove and washed a plate. In between, Xu Jiamu complained that she was a hindrance.
In the end, Xu Jiamu couldn't take it anymore. He turned off the fire, pushed Qiao Anhao's shoulder, and walked to the kitchen door. Just as he was about to push her out, Lu Jinnian walked over.
