Lu Yang sat in a chair and stared intently at the man blow-drying her hair in the mirror. He had an outstanding temperament, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a hint of sheepishness in the corners of his eyes.

His fingers ran through her hair with his slender knuckles.

He played with her long hair with his fingers, and the scorching wind was blowing through it. This warmed up Lu Yang’s head. Her concentration gradually waned as she stared at the two people in the mirror reflection, and she felt herself giving in tentatively.

Jiang Yanzhou turned the hairdryer switch upward with his thumb, and in the instant the noise of the blow dryer stopped, Lu Yang’s thoughts returned.

Jiang Yanzhou held the hairdryer, resting his chin lightly on her shoulder, and met her gaze in the mirror. “You’ve been tired all night. Rest well and see you tomorrow morning.”

Lu Yang yawned gently at the mention of being tired. “I’m busy in the morning.

How about noon?”

“What are you busy with?”

“I will be busy sleeping.”

Jiang Yanzhou was slightly taken aback and mused inwardly, “Busy sleeping? Isn’t that just oversleeping?

Jiang Yanzhou curved his lips, put down the hairdryer, and stretched out his long arm to gently embrace her as she stood up.

“Goodnight,” he smiled. “See you tomorrow at noon.”

“Yeah… Goodnight.”

After finishing her nightly routine, Lu Yang lifted the covers and slipped into bed. She turned off the lights and quickly fell asleep.

As the last light turned off, Jiang Yanzhou went downstairs and drove away. He was greeted by two individuals standing with their arms crossed, one tall and one short, when he entered.

Zhao Yanshu narrowed his eyes and exclaimed, “A man returning home late must have something fishy going on!”

Jiang Jinsheng imitated him and stated, “Uncle, there must be something suspicious since you aren’t home at this hour!”

Jiang Yanzhou was at a loss for words.

“Tell us, what have you been secretly doing lately?” Zhao Yanshu interrogated. Jiang Jinsheng chimed in, “We will be lenient if you confess now.”

Jiang Yanzhou tugged at his collar and glanced coldly at Jiang Jinsheng. He was not angry, but firm. “Jiang Jinsheng, go to bed.”

Jiang Jinsheng pouted. “Fine.”

Just as Jiang Jinsheng was about to obediently go back to bed, he heard Zhao

Yanshu’s voice full of panic. “D*mn! What’s on your neck?!”

Jiang Yanzhou glanced at him, and Zhao Yanshu immediately shut his mouth, also urging, “Xiaoshi, go back to your room and sleep.”

Jiang Jinsheng looked confused but obediently went back to sleep.

He mused inwardly, “Anyway, Sister Yang said I am just a child and should be sleeping at this hour. Hmph! It’s all because of my uncle. He came back so late and made me worried. Now I can’t fall asleep.”

He murmured, “Sister Yang is good, while my uncle is bad…”

Compared to Zhao Yanshu’s surprise, Jiang Yanzhou remained calm.

“You wouldn’t be cheating behind Sister Yang’s back, would you?” Zhao Yanshu couldn’t believe it. “I never expected you to be this kind of person. It’s so disappointing! ”

Jiang Yanzhou was rendered speechless.

Atter a moment or distress, znao yansnu stared at mm Indignantly. “You’re not worthy of our Lu Yang!”

“Isn’t she?” Zhao Yanshu was not in a good mood. “Does anyone else have a sister as gentle and kind as Lu Yang? No!”

Jiang Yanzhou didn’t want to explain to him, nor did he need to explain. He planned to go upstairs but was stopped. “You think what you’re doing is justified?”

“I don’t need to justify myself to you.”

Zhao Yanshu was about to get angry but suddenly felt that he hadn’t said anything wrong. He hesitated for a moment and reluctantly said, “You have no shame, yet you act so self-righteous!”

Jiang Yanzhou coldly glanced at him. “Watch your words.”

Zhao Yanshu, feeling frustrated, pressed on, “Who exactly are you hiding? Could it be… Lu Yang?”

Jiang Yanzhou finally spoke up. “Who else could it be apart from her?”

Zhao Yanshu surmised inwardly, “D*mn! D*mn it! This man actually has a secretive side! Wait… That mark… doesn’t look ordinary at all.”

The more Zhao Yanshu thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed. He asked cautiously, “Was she on top?”

Jiang Yanzhou ignored him.

Zhao Yanshu followed him upstairs, feeling overwhelmed. “In the world of binaries, Lu Yang is definitely a 1!”

Jiang Yanzhou was rendered speechless.

“Sister Yang is truly admirable!”

While Zhao Yanshu kept on rambling, Jiang Yanzhou lowered his head to look at his phone and turned around. “I’m going to check on Lu Yang. Do take care of

Xiaoshi.’

After saying that, he walked out of the door with long strides.

Zhao Yanshu couldn’t figure it out and wondered, “Didn’t he just come back? Why did he leave again?”

Late at night, the road was less crowded, making it even quieter and amplifying the sense of anxiety.

Jiang Yanzhou clenched the steering wheel tightly, and his veins bulged. He gradually accelerated the car.

After tidying up the dining table and kitchen, he took a glance at the crystal table before leaving. It seemed like he saw her bracelet there.

She must have been so tired tonight, just a while ago she messaged him asking if he had seen her bracelet. She must have had a nightmare and woken up.

The car came to a stop.

Jiang Yanzhou hurriedly went upstairs, entered the password, turned on only one light, and picked up the bracelet.

There was a glass on the dining table.

There was nothing there before he left.

It seemed like he hadn’t been gone for long when she woke up.

Jiang Yanzhou held the bracelet in his hand, walked quietly to the front of her room, and tentatively reached out to twist the doorknob.

The door was unlocked.

The room was tightly covered by the curtains, with no light whatsoever. He opened the door, and the light from outside seeped in through the gap.

Jiang Yanzhou gently stroked Lu Yang’s hair with his hand and took her hand out, putting the bracelet on for her. He tenderly kissed the back of her hand.

After placing her hand back down and tucking her in to keep her warm, he couldn’t help but raise his hand and lightly touch her lips with his fingertips, feeling their softness.

After a while, seeing that her breathing was steady, he prepared to leave.

But at that moment, his soft and warm hand was grabbed.

Lu Yang frowned and slowly opened her eyes, her voice slightly nasal, “Jiang

Yanzhou…?”

Jiang Yanzhou turned around, feeling somewhat guilty. “Did I wake you up?

Lu Yang, still half asleep, looked at him and said, “Aren’t you going back?” “I was just about to go back.”

“You can sleep in Mingyu’s room, or maybe a nearby hotel.” Lu Yang did not look at his expression, so she didn’t notice the subtle hint of perplexity in his confusion

“No… Mingyu is coming back tomorrow to pack things up, so you cant stay in his room. Forget it… do whatever you want, I’m tired,” she continued, closing her eyes again, pulling the blanket, and going back to sleep.

But soon, she opened her eyes again. Her voice, still half-asleep, was soft and gentle like a feather, scratching at one’s heart.

“Yanzhou, I can’t sleep. Do you have a way to make me fall asleep?” Even though she was tired, her sleep was intermittent.

He whispered, “Should I read you a poetry collection that you like?”

Lu Yang’s brain froze, unable to think or move, and she hesitantly responded, “Okay.”

Jiang Yanzhou gently pulled a chair, sat up straight, lowered his voice, and began reciting, “I offer you lean streets, desperate sunsets, the moon of the jagged suburbs.”

His voice flowed naturally, occasionally pausing, like a refreshing wine.

Lu Yang’s eyelids grew heavy, and she gradually fell asleep.

“I can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the hunger of my heart…”

His voice turned into intoxicating incense that filled her dreams, driving away the nightmares, leaving only beautiful dreams.

“I am trying to bribe you with uncertainty, with danger, with defeat.”

The sky began to brighten, and the morning light streamed through the windows, illuminating the living room.

Lu Mingyu entered with breakfast in hand and called out, ‘Yangyang, I’m back.”

No one responded.

The room was so quiet that even the sound of a falling needle could be heard.

Lu Mingyu placed the breakfast on the table and dialed Jiang Yanzhou on his phone.

On the other end, Jiang Yanzhou had just returned home and was preparing to take a shower. When he saw the incoming call, he paused for a few seconds before answering.

“Jiang Yanzhou, why isn’t my sister at home? Are you sure you safely brought her back?” Lu Mingyu sounded nervous. “There are many bad people these days, and someone as ethereal as Yang Yang is in danger. Are you sure you brought her back?”

“I brought her back. She should still be asleep. Be careful with your words,” Jiang Yanzhou replied.

“I brought her back. She should still be asleep. Be careful with your words,” Jiang Yanzhou replied.

He had left half an hour ago, and she was still sound asleep.

“Sleeping?”

“Yes.”

Lu Mingyu looked at Lu Yang’s bedroom door, which was closed. He didn’t open it, nor would he rashly do so. “Are you sure? Don’t wait until Yangyang goes missing for forty-eight hours before realizing it.”

With another question, Jiang Yanzhou became a little uncertain. “Is her coat still on the couch?”

“Yes,” Lu Mingyu replied.

Jiang Yanzhou continued, “What about the white slippers at the entrance?” “Not there,” Lu Mingyu answered.

Lu Yang was wearing white slippers yesterday, and if they were not at the entrance, it meant they were still in her bedroom.

Jiang Yanzhou reassured Lu Mingyu, saying, “She’s still sleeping. Don’t disturb her. ”

Lu Mingyu’s tense heart finally relaxed. He sighed and spoke earnestly, “I have a flight this afternoon, so I’ll trouble you to take care of Yangyang for me these days. ”

“Okay.”

“I can trust you. Right, Jiang Yanzhou?” Lu Mingyu was somewhat worried. Men are often careless when taking care of their younger sisters, and he feared they wouldn’t be thorough enough.

Jiang Yanzhou didn’t bother with his question. After a while, he reluctantly responded, “… Yes, you can.”

Lu Mingyu walked to the balcony and eagerly shared his experience, “If Yangyang is in a bad mood, gets angry, and scolds you, just endure it. Then make her a cup of tea or something sweet to win her over with love.”

Jiang Yanzhou was speechless..
