Lu Jinnian raised the cigarette to his lips and took a drag. Through the lingering smoke, he stared at the two names for a long time. In the end, he couldn't help but reach his hand out and pinch his thigh hard. The piercing pain told him that everything that had happened in the past twenty-four hours from the flight back to Beijing was real.
Qiao Anhao had really married him and become his wife.
"Lu Jinnian..." Suddenly, Qiao Anhao's voice came from the corridor, accompanied by the faint sound of footsteps.
Lu Jinnian snapped back to his senses and hurriedly put out the cigarette in his hand. He shoved the marriage certificate back into his pocket, stood up, and walked out of the study room. He saw Qiao Anhao, who had just finished showering, wearing a cotton nightgown. Her hair was wrapped in a towel, revealing her clean little face. She was holding onto the railing of the stairs, running down, shouting louder and louder, "Lu Jinnian, Lu Jinnian..."
"Here." Lu Jinnian furrowed his brows. He closed the study room door and walked over to the railing, replying in a lukewarm voice.
Qiao Anhao, who had just reached the first floor, lifted her head when she heard his voice. The moment she saw him, the obvious nervousness on her face turned into a warm smile. She turned around and hurriedly ran up the stairs again. Running up and down the stairs made her slightly out of breath as she said, "I prepared the hot water for you."
Did she just come out of the shower and get nervous because she couldn't find me?
Because of that thought, Lu Jinnian's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Ripples started to form in his heart, and he stared at Qiao Anhao with a slightly passionate gaze. After a long while, he gave a slight nod. Without saying anything, he held her hand and led her back to the bedroom.
When Lu Jinnian came out of the shower, Qiao Anhao was lying on the bed talking on the phone. Her voice was low and soft, so he didn't pay much attention to what she was saying. However, when she called out "Brother Jiamu", he paused while drying his hair with the towel, then retreated back into the bathroom and closed the door.
Qiao Anhao didn't talk for long. In less than two minutes, she hung up. Only then did Lu Jinnian throw the towel in his hand away and walk out of the bathroom.
Qiao Anhao, who was sitting on the bed, heard movement. She turned her head, her eyes soft. "You're done showering?"
"Yes." Lu Jinnian's expression was a little cold, and he only replied with his voice. He turned off the lights and laid on the bed.
On the first night, they didn't do anything. They just lay quietly on the bed, not even talking.
Qiao Anhao moved closer to him. He didn't avoid her, instead, he reached out to pull her into his embrace.
After returning from America, the moment they got off the plane, the two of them went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Even now, they hadn't rested. She snuggled into his embrace, falling into a deep sleep.
Lu Jinnian waited until her breathing was steady before lowering his head slightly. With the night light in the room, he looked at her sleeping face for a while. He reached out to touch her face, and when he felt that it was real, he turned his gaze to the ceiling. After staring at it for a while, he pulled her away from his embrace and silently got off the bed. He put on a jacket and walked out of the bedroom to the study room.
Lu Jinnian sat in his previous seat, casually reaching for the box of cigarettes on the table beside him. He lit one up.
