She found a comfortable position and couldn't help but close her eyes and fall asleep.
The temperature in Lijiang on a rainy night was a little low. Lu Bancheng stared at Xu Wennuan through the rearview mirror and realized that she had curled up a little, probably because she was cold.
The engine was off, but the heater couldn't be turned on. Afraid that Xu Wennuan would catch a cold, Lu Bancheng removed his jacket and turned around to drape it over her.
His actions were very gentle, but they still woke her up.
Just as he draped the clothes over her and was about to help her tidy up, she abruptly opened her eyes and sat up with a strong reaction.
When he saw her reaction, Lu Bancheng suddenly remembered that more than a year ago, when he had asked for a divorce, it had happened to be his mother's birthday, and she had accompanied him to his parents' house. At noon, she had fallen asleep in his bedroom, and when he had covered her with a blanket, she had woken up reflexively, just like she had today. She had then bounced back a long distance before she had heaved a sigh of relief. She had looked as if he was a terrifying creature.
Lu Bancheng's fingers froze, and his eyes darkened. He hurriedly let go of the jacket and retracted his hand. Afraid that she would misunderstand, he explained in a low voice, "I was afraid that you would catch a cold."
When she heard his words, Xu Wennuan, who was still drowsy, suddenly realized that she had a jacket draped over her body.
So he was draping the jacket over me, but my reaction just now seemed a little overboard … Xu Wennuan felt apologetic, and she smiled at Lu Bancheng and said softly, "Thank you."
Lu Bancheng didn't say anything. He retracted his body and leaned against the driver's seat, trying to put as much distance between them as possible.
Xu Wennuan, who had been startled awake by Lu Bancheng, closed her eyes again. Her breath was filled with the scent of Lu Bancheng's jacket. She was originally very sleepy, but now she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. She wasn't thinking about anything, but her thoughts were a little chaotic. Her eyelids twitched from time to time, and her head kept changing positions as she leaned against the car seat.
Lu Bancheng took in all of her small movements.
Was she afraid to fall asleep because of his approach just now?
If it weren't for today's special circumstances, he definitely wouldn't have appeared in front of her and disturbed her life … Lu Bancheng looked up again and glanced at the girl in the backseat through the rearview mirror. She had already opened her eyes and was staring out the window at the drizzling rain. He couldn't tell what she was thinking.
Lu Bancheng pursed his lips and lowered his eyelids. After a moment of silence, he said, "If you're tired, go to sleep. Don't worry, I won't come near you again."
Xu Wennuan was stunned by his sudden words, which were so baffling that she could not make head or tail of them.
When he saw her lack of reaction, he thought she didn't believe him, so he hesitated for a moment before tossing the car keys in the empty seat next to Xu Wennuan. He then grabbed the spare umbrella, opened the door, and got out of the car.
With the sound of the car door closing, Xu Wennuan turned her head and glanced at the car keys beside her. Only then did she slowly understand what he had meant.
He was afraid that she would think he was going to bully her, so he said those words to her, gave her the car keys, and got out of the car …
