The assistant asked, "Then... Mr. Lu, what about you?"
"I..." Lu Jinnian lifted his eyelids, glancing at the room on the second floor. "Stay a little longer."
Miss Qiao was in the room, and Mr. Lu was in the car. Even if he stayed until Miss Qiao was discharged, he couldn't go near her, what was the point!
The assistant knew that it wasn't his job, but after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lu, you should go back to the hotel to rest. Last night, you stayed in the hospital corridor the entire night without sleeping, and today, you've endured the entire day. If you continue like this, you'll be exhausted."
Exhausted... Lu Jinnian's gaze lingered on the window of the room. The lights were still on, and he could faintly see the silhouettes of people passing by. As though he had heard a funny joke, he couldn't help but let out a light chuckle. "I won't be exhausted, I'm already used to it."
Perhaps it was because of the environment he had grown up in, but Lu Jinnian had many flaws in his personality. He was introverted, quiet, cold, and unsociable. He was difficult to interact with, and it was tiring to interact with him. As time passed, he started to hide many things in his heart. But at this moment, Lu Jinnian felt extremely uncomfortable. It was the kind of pain that he couldn't express. For the first time in his life, he told his assistant something that he had never said before. "You don't know how many times I've watched over her in the car like this."
Yes, the number of times he had guarded it was so many that he had lost count.
When he was young, because he was poor, because he couldn't give her happiness, he didn't dare to chase after her. Sometimes, he missed her too much, so he would secretly stand outside her dormitory for a long time, waiting for her to appear. He wasn't lucky enough to see her every time, because she didn't live in the dormitory every day.
Eventually, he lost contact with her. He was busy with filming, so he didn't have much time in Beijing. But whenever he came back, he would run over to the Qiao family's entrance to wait for her. Sometimes, he would wait from afternoon to night, sometimes from night to dawn, and sometimes from dawn to dawn, just to catch a glimpse of her from afar. Even if it was just her back, it was enough.
There was even a year when he celebrated his birthday without a single birthday greeting. He was very lonely in a foreign land. He didn't know why, but he just really, really wanted to see her. So he took a plane and traveled thousands of miles back to Beijing. Unfortunately, in the end, he still left in disappointment.
Hence, once he got used to it, he wouldn't feel tired anymore. Many times, he felt that this was the only way he could feel at ease.
The assistant had never talked to Lu Jinnian like this before, so he didn't know how to respond. After a long while, he said, "Mr. Lu, why don't you chase Miss Qiao? Actually, you can compete fairly with Mr. Xu. "
"Compete fairly?" Lu Jinnian repeated those words, his expression a little dazed. When he was three years old, his mother had knelt in front of the Xu family's door to beg for his life. At that time, he had already lost the chance to compete with Xu Jiamu.
More importantly... Lu Jinnian said softly, "No matter how his mother treats me, that's his problem. In this world, he's my only family."
