Qiao Anhao's brows twitched. She could vaguely smell the light scent on Lu Jinnian's body. Then, she heard his clear yet affectionate words. "Qiao Qiao, I like you, I've liked you for a long long time..."
Qiao Anhao thought that it was a dream. Her lips couldn't help but curve slightly. She rubbed her head against the pillow and fell asleep.
He stared at her sleeping face for a long while before reaching out to stroke her hair. Then, he laid back down on the bed.
The next morning, Qiao Anhao was woken up by the sound of thunder. She sat up and glanced at the other half of the bed, but Lu Jinnian was nowhere to be seen. Outside the window, it was raining heavily. When she came out of the house, she saw that Mrs. Chen was the only one in the living room. She was sitting on a wooden stool, mending a man's jacket.
"Miss Qiao, you're awake?" Mrs. Chen raised her head to look at Qiao Anhao. She put down her work and walked to the side to place Qiao Anhao's breakfast on the table.
Qiao Anhao thanked her, sat down, and asked, "Where are they?"
"They went up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots."
Qiao Anhao didn't say anything, lowering her head to eat in silence. Halfway through her meal, there was another strong flash of lightning, followed by a deafening explosion of thunder. The sound of the rain grew louder. Qiao Anhao instinctively turned her head, and through the open door, she looked out at the pouring rain. There were bubbles on the ground, and a hint of worry appeared in her heart. She even lost her appetite.
Qiao Anhao kept glancing out the door, which attracted Mrs. Chen's attention. Mrs. Chen comforted her, "Miss Qiao, don't worry, it often rains heavily here. It's fine, the rain will stop soon."
Qiao Anhao nodded lightly, still feeling a little uneasy. The world outside was already covered in rain, and it was a vast expanse of whiteness. Growing up in Beijing, she rarely encountered such terrible weather.
Mrs. Chen seemed to be trying to ease Qiao Anhao's nervousness, or perhaps she was just bored and simply wanted to talk to someone. She asked again, "Miss Qiao, where are you from?"
Qiao Anhao stared at the terrible weather outside, and replied absentmindedly, "Beijing."
"Beijing, a big city. No wonder everyone looks so classy." Mrs. Chen said as she tied a dead knot on the sewn clothes. Then, she bit off the thread with her teeth.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside. Qiao Anhao's face was pale, and she was extremely flustered. Even her body trembled.
Mrs. Chen couldn't help laughing. "Miss Qiao, don't worry. Your man will definitely come back safe and sound."
Your man... Qiao Anhao froze. Just as she was about to explain to Mrs. Chen, two shadows rushed into the courtyard.
Qiao Anhao instantly swallowed the words she was about to say, and quickly stood up. Then, she saw Big Brother Chen run in, covered in yellow mud. Lu Jinnian followed behind him, also covered in yellow mud. Even so, it couldn't hide the noble aura that emanated from his bones.
She was about to ask if he was alright when Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Aiya, Mr. Lu, you're finally back. When your wife woke up in the morning and saw the terrible weather, she was so scared that she almost cried when she heard that you went up to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots."
