Lu Benlai was out on a business trip, so he and Leng Nuan arrived two days later than He Tiantian, Jiang Yue, and the others.
They arrived at noon, but due to Lin Jiage's weak body, he slept for a long time every day. On the other hand, Shi Yao was prone to drowsiness due to her pregnancy, so they didn't stay for too long before leaving.
This was the first time Leng Nuan had seen Lu Benlai ever since he got 'drunk'.
The next day, after Leng Nuan woke up, she sent Lu Benlai a message asking if he had sobered up and if he was still feeling unwell.
Lu Benlai replied to her message too. Even when he was out on a business trip, they still exchanged calls and messages. However, Leng Nuan couldn't be sure if it was due to her psychological state, but she felt that Lu Benlai wasn't as warm toward her as before.
After leaving the hospital, Leng Nuan noticed that the weather was good, so she couldn't help but ask Lu Benlai, "Are you … still busy at the company in the afternoon?"
Lu Benlai shook his head, "I don't have to …"
Lu Benlai paused for a moment before asking, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing much. It's just that the weather has been good lately, so I'd like to take a look around the Forbidden City before summer arrives."
"Sure, I'll accompany you."
Hearing Lu Benlai's obedient words, Leng Nuan's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.
Perhaps … I'm overthinking things. Perhaps, he doesn't even remember what he did on the day he got drunk …
There weren't many people in the Forbidden City in the afternoon.
Leng Nuan and Lu Benlai strolled around the palace after palace.
As usual, Lu Benlai would thoughtfully buy water for Leng Nuan and ask if she was tired. He would even ask if she was hungry and if she wanted to eat something.
Hearing Lu Benlai's words, Leng Nuan's heart slowly calmed down.
She thought … I'm really overthinking things. I'm overthinking things. He's not unhappy …
However, she knew better than anyone that the two of them didn't seem like a couple. She knew that she had wronged him, and she also knew that she was the one with the problem …
But she was really working hard. She had been trying her best to overcome those problems …
With such thoughts in mind, Leng Nuan turned to look at Lu Benlai.
The current him was no longer the hairless him from two years ago. He had an exquisite haircut, which made him look cheerful and agile, very pleasing to the eye.
In the past, she had never thought that one day she would be with a man, nor did she think that she would fall in love with someone. Now, whenever she saw something that belonged to a man, she would imagine whether it would look good on him, whether it would fit him, and whether he would be happy if she bought it for him as a gift …
Leng Nuan couldn't help but chuckle softly. When she retracted her gaze, her eyes suddenly caught sight of Lu Benlai's hand. After a moment of hesitation, she inched closer to Lu Benlai's side. When the distance between the two of them narrowed significantly, she reached out to hold his hand …
Before she could even touch his hand, her fingertips had already begun to tremble uncontrollably.
She tried to convince herself. She gathered her courage again and again, but every time she almost touched his fingertips, she would shrink back.
