Lu Bancheng was afraid that Xu Wennuan would find herself alone in his absence after her shower, so he pulled out his phone, leaned against the cabinet, and placed an order online.
Half an hour later, the order arrived on time. Lu Bancheng boiled some hot water, made a glass of milk, and walked to the door of the master bedroom.
He knocked on the door but did not enter because of the hurt he had caused her. Instead, he stood at the door and waited. He waited for a long time, but Xu Wennuan did not come out. Only then did Lu Bancheng gently turn the doorknob and open the door slightly. He wanted to call her out and bring the milk in, but before he could say anything, he saw Xu Wennuan sitting quietly on the carpet, hugging her legs and resting her head on her knees.
She looked as if she was crying.
Lu Bancheng pursed his lips tightly. He no longer cared about her resistance and rejection toward him. He purposely kept a certain distance from her and quickly walked in.
When he stood beside her, she seemed to feel someone coming over and lifted her little face from her knees.
Other than looking a little pale, there were no traces of tears on her face.
Lu Bancheng heaved a sigh of relief. He squatted down and passed the milk to her. He said gently, "Drink some warm milk. You'll feel better."
She still did not speak, but she reached out and took the cup away. She brought it to her lips and sipped it.
Lu Bancheng's tense mood relaxed a little. When he saw that she had not even dried her hair after her shower, he got up and went to the bathroom. He found a dry towel and knelt down beside her to gently dry the water droplets at the ends of her long hair.
After she finished the milk, Lu Bancheng asked, "You'll catch a cold if you keep your hair wet. Shall I dry it for you?"
Xu Wennuan quickly responded. Instead of a silent nod, she softly said, "Okay."
Lu Bancheng felt as if he had heard the sound of nature, and a faint smile blossomed on his face. He reached out and pulled her up to the dressing table. Holding the hairdryer, he dried her long hair and combed it neatly. Then, he put down the hairdryer and urged her to lie down on the bed.
Lu Bancheng pulled the blanket over Xu Wennuan and turned off the lights. He whispered, "Go to sleep."
Xu Wennuan, who hadn't slept well the night before and had experienced so many things that night, quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Lu Bancheng waited for her to catch her breath before leaving the master bedroom and gently closing the door behind him.
He wanted to leave, but when he thought about how she used to have nightmares and how she was bullied tonight, he wondered if she would wake up from her nightmare later.
After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't stop worrying, so he sat on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and muted it to pass the time.
Time ticked by, and the master bedroom remained quiet. Lu Bancheng could not resist the drowsiness and fell asleep on the sofa. In his daze, he heard a scream, and he opened his eyes reflexively.
The surroundings were quiet.
Lu Bancheng exhaled, thinking that he was dreaming. He closed his eyes again, but before he could fall asleep, he heard a thud coming from the master bedroom.
Lu Bancheng stood up from the sofa and rushed to the master bedroom door. When he pushed it open, he saw Xu Wennuan lying on the floor and immediately called out anxiously, "Nuannuan!"
