Lu Jinnian stood alone in the living room, listening to the endless laughter from the dining room. It sounded like the atmosphere was harmonious, but his entire body was enveloped in a thick loneliness.
He didn't know just how long he stood there. When the dining room door opened, to hide his loneliness, he hurriedly pulled out his phone from his pocket and put it to his ear, pretending to answer the call.
Xu Jiamu cried "Bro", but when he saw him holding the phone, he tactfully shut his mouth. He pulled open the bathroom door and walked in.
When Lu Jinnian heard the toilet flush, he put the phone back in his pocket. Xu Jiamu came out with a tissue in his hand, wiping his hands. When he saw that Lu Jinnian had hung up, he asked again, "Bro, are you done?"
Lu Jinnian gave a gentle nod.
Someone in the dining room called Xu Jiamu's name. He raised his voice to reply, then threw the tissue into the bin. He turned to Lu Jinnian and said, "Come in and eat."
Lu Jinnian stood on the spot, his entire body cold. "I have something to do, so I have to go."
Xu Jiamu's eyes flashed with a hint of regret, but he didn't force him to stay. "Alright, I'll find you for dinner when I have time."
Lu Jinnian replied with an "Mmh". He glanced at the tightly shut dining room door, but didn't say anything else. After two seconds of silence, he strode out.
The temperature at night had already dropped. It wasn't as hot as it was during the day, and it was even a little refreshing.
Lu Jinnian held a cup of tea as he stood on the balcony of his villa. He raised his head, and he could faintly see the stars in the sky.
He had seen her enter the villa early in the morning, so when Xu Jiamu invited him over for dinner, he nodded in agreement.
He knew that when he came over, he would see some unbearable scenes and hear some unbearable words. He had nothing better to do than to ask for abuse.
But he had no choice. God only gave him a chance to be with her for 251 days. Even though he had to be Xu Jiamu's substitute, but now, he had no choice but to get close to her, even though he was asking for it.
The dinner was worse than she had expected, but it didn't matter. He still saw her and said a few words to her, didn't he?
Even though those two sentences were "thank you" when she made him tea and "give it to me" when she hung up on Han Ruchu, it was still worth it, wasn't it?
Lu Jinnian stood there until it was past ten at night. Only then did the villa next door move. Perhaps it was because two people had too much to drink. Before they got into the car, they were shouting incoherently, startling a dog that kept barking incessantly.
The lights of the cars parked in the courtyard lit up one after another, and the cars drove away.
Lu Jinnian stood on the second floor. Through the dim yellow lights in the courtyard, he saw Xu Jiamu and Qiao Anhao return to the house. As the door to the villa next door slammed shut, the world fell into complete silence.
In the house next door, only Xu Jiamu and Qiao Anhao were left...
In Lu Jinnian's mind, the image of Xu Jiamu buying a few boxes of condoms appeared in his mind. For a moment, he didn't dare to continue imagining it.
After about half an hour, the lights in the villa next door went out. Lu Jinnian's hand trembled, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
