Qiao Anhao stood on the spot for a while before following him.
The two of them walked one after the other, maintaining a distance that was neither too far nor too close between them.
Along the way, the two of them were silent, neither taking the initiative to speak to the other.
When they reached the entrance of the 24-hour convenience store, Lu Jinnian stopped in his tracks. Through the glass window, he saw Qiao Anhao grabbing a few packs of sanitary napkins from the daily necessities section.
So it was her period, no wonder she said it was urgent...
Lu Jinnian waited until Qiao Anhao went to the front desk to pay the bill before pushing the door open. He reached for his wallet and waited for the cashier to scan the code before handing her a one hundred dollar bill.
"I have change here..." Qiao Anhao pulled out a few ten dollar bills from her wallet. Just as she was about to hand it to the cashier, Lu Jinnian had already taken the change from the cashier. With the sanitary napkins in his hands, he walked out of the convenience store first.
Just like when they came, Qiao Anhao followed behind him. When she lifted her head, she could see his cold and lonely back. Her gaze couldn't help but freeze for a moment before shifting away.
The night was quiet. The bright moonlight mixed with the dim yellow of the street lamps, illuminating the ground and elongating their shadows.
When they reached the entrance of Xu Jiamu's villa, Lu Jinnian stopped in his tracks. He waited for Qiao Anhao to come closer before handing her the shopping bag.
Qiao Anhao took the bag and said, "Thank you."
Lu Jinnian didn't make a sound, the two of them standing face to face.
Lu Jinnian knew that he should tell Qiao Anhao to go in early and rest, but the words lingered in his mouth for a long time. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't bring himself to say them. It seemed like this was the only way he could stay with her for a while longer.
The silence made the atmosphere a little awkward. Qiao Anhao saw that Lu Jinnian didn't have any intention to speak, so she lifted her head and said to him, "I'll go in first."
Lu Jinnian lowered his eyes. After a long while, he nodded. He lifted his eyelids and said faintly, "En, rest well."
"En." She grabbed onto the shopping bag tightly, brushing past him and entering the villa.
Lu Jinnian stood at the entrance, watching as she entered the house. Only then did he retract his gaze. He lifted his head to look at the moon in the sky before walking towards his villa. After taking two steps, he seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned and headed back to the convenience store.
Qiao Anhao returned to the bedroom and changed into a clean bra. She put on a sanitary pad and washed her dirty underwear with her hands.
Before her period came, it was silent and she didn't feel any discomfort. Now that it came, she felt her lower abdomen bloating with a slight pain. She didn't know if it was because the water temperature was too low when she washed her underwear, but her hands and feet were a little cold.
Qiao Anhao hung her underwear on the balcony and was about to go to bed when she heard the doorbell ring.
Qiao Anhao went downstairs and walked to the door. She looked through the peephole, but there was no one there. She was a little confused and a little afraid. After hesitating for a while, she finally opened the door, only to see that the courtyard was empty.
Qiao Anhao furrowed her brows. Just as she was puzzled, she saw a bag on the ground in front of the door...
