Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Yang looked at the person in the distance, and her eyebrows twitched.

Jiang Yanzhou met her gaze and approached.

“Why is there another person trying to steal my crush?” Jin Yao muttered. He strode over to Lu Yang, lifted his chin, and shouted, “She’s not single anymore.

Don’t come here trying to settle for less. Get lost!”

Jiang Yanzhou paid no attention to him. He reached out and held Lu Yang’s wrist, softly asking, “Are you hungry?”

A smile appeared in Lu Yang’s eyes. “A little.”

With all eyes focused on them, Gu Liye returned a faint smile. After they shifted their gaze away, he spoke. “It turns out that there’s a person who brings Junior Sister to the hospital every morning, helps her pack her things at noon, waits for her to change clothes, and then have lunch together while holding hands. In the evening, when Junior Sister was on night shift, he brought fruits, chocolates, and desserts to the hospital. When she finished work, he would help her pack up and wait for her to dress neatly before leaving the hospital together. The person who did all that is Jiang Yanzhou.”

The person on the other end of the call exclaimed, “This long-lasting love doesn’t seem like young people dating; it’s more like an old married couple living their lives.”

They accompanied each other, not disturbing one another, and not affecting others.

They went straight from the honeymoon phase to the life of an old married couple.

When Gu Liye heard the young girls in the department discussing Lu Yang’s mysterious boyfriend, his first reaction was Jiang Yanzhou, but he found it impossible after further investigation.

Men understand men. At first glance, Gu Liye knew that Jiang Yanzhou harbored hostility towards him.

Moreover, he was certain that Jiang Yanzhou would never willingly become Lu Yangs mysterious boyfriend.

After all, how could a man with a wild and bloody nature be tamed?

“I don’t need to introduce Jin Yao, this is He Kongqing, whom you met last time,” Lu Yang introduced them. “And this is Jiang Yanzhou.”

He Kongqing uttered, “Hello.”

Jiang Yanzhou responded, “Hello.”

As the words were spoken, Lu Yang felt the warm fingertip of his hand pressed against her pulse on her wrist.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at his sharp-profiled side face, blinking in confusion.

Then, taking advantage of the moment when he was preparing to move down, she put her hands in her pockets.

The polite formalities of a few words ended.

“You two go ahead and eat. Jin Yao and I haven’t seen each other for many years. We’ll catch up and chat,” He Kongqing uttered with a knowing smile.

Jin Yao was about to sternly reprimand the male third party, Jiang Yanzhou. However, upon hearing He Kongqing’s words, he turned his head away and exclaimed incredulously, “I don’t f*cking know you at all!”

He Kongqing ignored his words and bid farewell to Lu Yang. “See you in the afternoon.”

Lu Yang knew what He Kongqing wanted to do. She glanced briefly at Jin Yao and stated, “Okay. See you in the afternoon.”

The sky was a vast expanse of blue with white clouds, and the warm afternoon sunlight shone beneath their feet. Jiang Yanzhou opened the car door for Lu Yang. He helped her into the car and fastened her seatbelt. Jiang Yanzhou then walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver’s seat.

Lu Yang raised her eyes and looked at the knuckles gripping the steering wheel. She spoke first, preempting any emotions he might have. ‘You can tell me how you’re feeling directly.”

Jiang Yanzhou chuckled softly. He hadn’t even started feeling jealous, and she was already taking the initiative.

Lu Yang went on, “You are a professional actor, but I’m not a professional at analyzing what’s real and what’s fake in a play.”

“Therefore, I hope he speaks up if there is anything. It’s not worth it to keep things hidden, speculating all possibilities, hurting oneself and others.”

Jiang Yanzhou smiled and stared at the calm and composed girl for a while before calmly asking, “Lu Yang, do you think I’m acting with you?”

“No.” Lu Yang’s eyes flashed with a different light. She explained, “If this were a play, who do you think would be the biggest investor?”

Jiang Yanzhou took in her cherry lips and dark eyes. His breath was heavy, and his throat felt a little itchy as it rolled.

Lu Yang had an innocent face but always did aggressively provocative things.

Her slightly raised eyes stared at him unblinking with substance, which burned all of his rationality to ashes.

She was not mistaken. The moment Jiang Yanzhou saw He Kongqing and Jin Yao, a fit of overwhelming jealousy instantly swept over him. But when his gaze collided with hers, everything calmed down.

It was like a drifting ship without a purpose finally ending its drift and docking on the shore.

Lu Yang relaxed against the back of the seat, and her tone was lazy. “Don’t stare at me. I might have other ideas.”

A glint flashed in Jiang Yanzhou’s eyes. “What ideas?”

Lu Yang’s gaze lingered on his eyebrows and eyes. Her lips curved up, and she gently raised her hand. “Give me your hand.”

Jiang Yanzhou moved his hand from the steering wheel, and Lu Yang’s fingers half-encircled his wrist, with her thumb resting on his pulse.

At first, his pulse was steady, but soon after she touched it, the pulse under her fingertips suddenly accelerated.

Naturally, the two of them locked eyes.

Time seemed to stand still. Occasionally, a horn sounded from outside the car.

Suddenly, Lu Yang tightened her grip on his wrist, and Jiang Yanzhou’s heart clenched without warning.

She made his heart flutter, and he made her feel at ease.

Lu Yang’s slightly cold fingers had already warmed up. She let go of him, feeling somewhat mischievous and tilted her head slightly. “This is my idea of warming up. ”

As the words fell, Lu Yang was about to retract her hand, but Jiang Yanzhou grabbed hold of it. His fingers slipped through the gaps between hers, clasping tightly. His warm and dry touch enveloped her.

Lu Yang’s heart suddenly skipped a beat as she stared at him in a daze for a while.

Jiang Yanzhou’s throat tightened, and his voice was low and husky, “I can’t hold your hand when we’re not together. I can’t reach for your hand when we are together. Lu Yang, holding hands can also provide warmth.”

He gazed at her with a captivating intensity. “Moreover, the larger the contact area, the better the warming effect.”

Lu Yang’s heart raced uncontrollably with his handsome face so close to hers.

While others may be attracted by looks, captivated by talent, loyalty, and compatible with personality, she feared that she might be drawn to character and compatibility, and captivated by looks.

“Let’s save the previous topic for later tonight.” Jiang Yanzhou’s eyelids drooped slightly. “First, let’s talk about He Kongqing and Jin Yao.”

Lu Yang hesitated slightlv. “Mhm.”

“When I saw you standing with them, I didn’t go crazy with jealousy,” Jiang Yanzhou stated. “So what?”

“Is there a reward?”

Lu Yang was rendered speechless, and she wondered, ‘Why does it feel like a kindergarten child asking a teacher for a reward?”

“I’m busy today, so save it for later. I’ll reward you later.” Lu Yang asked, “But seriously, you’re almost in your thirties, and you’re still so childish?”

“Are you starting to find me old?” Jiang Yanzhou squeezed her hand and playfully asked, dragging his tone. “If I weren’t childish, could you handle me?” At that moment, Lu Yang realized that she might have truly ignited his anger.

His gaze was impure, but his actions and words were sincere. It was probably because his eyes were so beautifully captivating, bewitching.

That was Lu Yang’s previous thought.

But now, she overturned that speculation.

Lunch was similar to usual, and after they finished eating, Jiang Yanzhou escorted her back to the hospital.

In the evening, as the sunset cast its glow upon the city skyline, Lu Yang returned to school.

The campus was buzzing with celebrations for the school’s anniversary, filled with an atmosphere of joy in every corner.

At night, the anniversary gala began. Lu Yang sat bored in the audience, propping her chin and starting to feel drowsy.

“Junior Sister.” A voice woke her up a bit.

Lu Yang opened her eyes, and her vision gradually cleared. She looked at Gu Liye and said, “Senior Brother.”

Gu Liye looked around, searching in confusion for someone.

Lu Yang knew who he was looking for. “Senior Brother, don’t bother looking.

There’s no one else here.”

“Why are you interested in this lively occasion?” Gu Liye asked. Lu Yang yawned. “Mingyu is performing, so I came to watch.” “Why haven’t I heard that your brother is going to perform?”

“It’s a secret program. It’s normal not to have heard about it.”

Gu Liye wanted to ask her how she knew, but then he realized that she was Lu Mingyu’s sister. Wasn’t it normal for her to know?

Lu Yang rested her cheek on her hand and closed her eyes again. “Senior Brother, let’s not talk anymore. I need to take a short nap and save my energy to watch Mingyu’s performance.”

Gu Liye was still concerned about the task his wife entrusted to him, but he knew that Lu Yang had been busy all day and hadn’t had time to rest, so he temporarily let it go.

In the noisy environment, Lu Yang fell into a dreamland.

She had just dozed off when she heard familiar melodies and rhythms in her ears, causing her to slowly lift her eyelids.

Chen Su, who was originally on the side of the stage, saw Lu Yang and slipped into the seat next to her.

“Sister Yangyang, are you here to watch the performance too?”

Chen Su’s acting skills were very poor, and Lu Yang saw through it at a glance. She glanced at him and nodded. “Yes, I’m here to watch my brother.”

Chen Su was immersed in joy and didn’t think much about the deeper meaning behind her casual tone.

“Mingyu has been working very hard lately. He’s leaving the country tomorrow, and he’s still rehearsing today.” He wanted to test Lu Yang’s reaction. “After this is over, he still has to continue rehearsing.”

Unexpectedly, Lu Yang remained calm this time, staring at the figure shrouded in dry ice without changing her expression.

Chen Su’s pupils slightly dilated, and he opened his mouth in surprise.

“How strange! The control freak who even monitors her brother’s diet didn’t react to this?” he wondered..
