the next day.
Even the blackout curtains could no longer block the sunlight, and Su Jianan still fell asleep unconscious.
She had always been sleepy, but this time she felt like she would sleep forever. When she woke up, she was in a trance. She felt as if she had slept for a long time, and as if she had only slept for a few hours. She couldn't tell what year it was.
"woke up?"
Lu Boyan's deep and magnetic voice sounded above his head, like a pulling thread, pulling everything into Su Jianan's mind.
Her cheeks suddenly turned red.
He didn't dare to look at Lu Boyan, so he had to pull the quilt silently, trying to hide himself under the quilt and make himself disappear from his sight.
At this time, a gust of wind lifted the curtains, and the dazzling sunlight penetrated through every crack, only for a moment, and disappeared again.
Just a moment was enough for Su Jianan to wake up. She stared: "What time is it!?"
Today is Monday! Monday!
Lu Boyan looked at the time and said calmly: "Eleven o'clock..."
Su Jianan closed her eyes and wanted to faint.
Lu Boyan smiled softly and gave Su Jianan a shot in the arm: "I asked for leave for you."
"What's the reason for asking for leave?" Su Jianan asked without any confidence.
"Not feeling well."
His tone was calm and his words were clear. It was obviously no different from his usual speaking tone, but the smile at the end of his voice still made Su Jianan feel that there was something profound about it.
Her little face turned even redder.
Lu Boyan admired her shy look with satisfaction and teased her in a playful way: "How about this reason for taking leave?"
"Ahem!" Su Jianan couldn't help but shrink into the bed, "Okay, very good, very good..."
Lu Boyan curled his lips and suddenly leaned towards her ear: "The gift you gave is also very good. I like it very much."
With a "swish" sound, Su Jianan pulled the quilt and covered herself completely: "Stop talking!"
Lu Boyan said nothing more, but Su Jianan clearly heard his pleasant chuckle.
I don't know how much time had passed, but the sound of Lu Boyan's washing water came from the bathroom. Su Jianan kicked off the quilt and let out a long sigh. Her cheeks were already red as if they were filled with blood.
Lu Boyan came out neatly in his suit and saw Su Jianan holding on to the quilt, looking at the ceiling in trance, and walked towards her.
When Su Jianan heard the familiar frequency of footsteps, she looked at Lu Boyan timidly like a frightened deer, with a flash of obvious unnaturalness on her face, and then quickly looked away.
"You, go away, I'm going to get up!" After saying that, Su Jian'an felt strange again, "Did you ask for leave too?"
Logically speaking, Lu Boyan is much busier than her. He is still at home at this time, which is unscientific!
"No." Lu Boyan said, "I was absent from work."
His expression was so calm, and the smile between his brows and eyes was so joyful. Su Jianan couldn't help but think that maybe Lu Boyan just didn't want her to be alone when she woke up.
A honey-like sweetness emerged from the tip of my heart, infiltrating the whole heart.
She got up, thought for a while, swept the bedclothes and slipped into the bathroom together.
The smile on Lu Boyan's lips never faded. He walked over and opened the curtains, and warm sunlight suddenly poured into the room, shining brightly and beautifully on the fluffy white carpet beside the bed.
He suddenly felt that this small bedroom was not so crowded.
Su Jianan changed her clothes and came out. When she saw Lu Boyan standing by the window, the sunlight streaming into the room from her feet, she felt inexplicably warm in her heart.
She and Lu Boyan were a real couple.
She no longer had to quench her thirst through those reports about him, and she no longer had to feel sad watching the scandals between him and Han Ruoxi.
Su Jianan walked over and took Lu Boyan's hand: "I forgot to ask you something yesterday."
"Why didn't my mother tell me happy birthday in person?" Lu Boyan asked.
Su Jian'an nodded: "Also, it's weird that you haven't celebrated your birthday for so many years. Logically speaking, mom is the kind of person who likes fun, so why wouldn't she help you celebrate your birthday?"
Lu Boyan pulled Su Jianan to sit on the sofa: "In a few days, it will be the anniversary of my father's death."
Su Jian'an's head was shaken, and many doubts in her heart were instantly solved.
It turned out that for this reason, Lu Boyan's birthday was too close to the anniversary of his father's death, so he did not dare to celebrate his birthday.
No matter how happy the celebration is at this time, it will seem particularly heavy.
Tang Yulan has never truly forgotten the grief of losing her husband. These few days every year should be the most difficult time for her.
How could she be in the mood to help Lu Boyan celebrate
"I don't know." Su Jianan was a little confused, "I helped you celebrate yesterday, would mom..."
"Fool, mom won't blame you." Lu Boyan rubbed Su Jianan's long hair, "You did what she wanted to do but couldn't do. How could she blame you?"
Su Jianan raised her eyes and looked into Lu Boyan's eyes.
Really nice to look at.
The clear corners of his eyes made his gaze even deeper, but she was still the same as fourteen years ago, unable to understand the emotions hidden in these eyes.
Su Jianan's mouth opened for a moment, wanting to ask Lu Boyan about his father's car accident that year, but when the words came to his lips, he changed to: "When you get off work in the afternoon, let's go to Bauhinia Garden to see mom!"
She had also lost a close relative, and because she felt the same way, she still wanted to wait for Lu Boyan to take the initiative to tell her.
Lu Boyan will tell her when she can truly accept it calmly, when the scarred wounds no longer show signs of injury.
After lunch, Su Jianan rested at home, while Lu Boyan went to the company.
Lu Boyan seemed to have said something to Uncle Xu before going out. Su Jianan didn't listen carefully and chatted with Luo Xiaoxi on her cell phone.
Luo Xiaoxi said that she had just gotten up.
Well, hasn’t she insisted on going to bed early and getting up early for a long time? Did you break your gong today
The afternoon was very short, and it slipped through the fingertips in the blink of an eye. Su Jianan woke up after a long nap, and before Lu Boyan's get off work time, she simply lay on the bed and scrolled through her mobile phone.
Inadvertently, she came across a piece of entertainment news—
"Strike Back" wraps up in Hollywood, and Han Ruoxi returns to China.
Han Ruoxi…
This woman who was determined to win over Lu Boyan had not appeared in Su Jianan's sight for a long time. If she hadn't sent a club all the way from the United States to Lu Boyan, Su Jianan would have almost forgotten that she was here.
It's not that Su Jian'an has a bad memory, but that Han Ruoxi rarely gets news coverage during this period.
At the anniversary of the Lu family, Su Jianan and Han Ruoxi matched up. Su Jianan unexpectedly did not lose to Han Ruoxi. In addition, Han Ruoxi was slapped in the face about the diamond. After going abroad, she concentrated on filming and did not gain publicity. The public naturally gradually forgot about it. Her disgraceful period.
Su Jianan will also forget her love rival.
But now, she's back
The news pictures were taken at the airport. Han Ruoxi was wearing fitted casual clothes, a pair of big sunglasses on her face, her hands in her pockets, her head tilted slightly and she walked towards the exit with big steps. Fans and entertainment reporters shouted back and forth. Yes, you really are like a queen.
Su Jian'an always felt that Han Ruoxi was "returning aggressively" and had a very bad feeling...
In order to stop her random thoughts, Su Jianan called Tang Yulan and told her that she and Lu Boyan would wait to see her. Not long after hanging up the phone, Lu Boyan came back.
She breathed a sigh of relief, jumped out of bed and took Lu Boyan's hand: "Let's go to Bauhinia Garden. I just called my mother, and she said she would prepare delicious food for us!"
When they were at the Bauhinia Garden, Tang Yulan had just prepared the meal and greeted her enthusiastically: "You have been working all day and you must be hungry. Come and eat."
When Su Jianan saw the delicious food on the table, she forgot everything and blurted out: "Mom, I didn't go to work today."
"Today is Monday, why don't you go to work?" Tang Yulan asked doubtfully.
Su Jianan said "Uh" and realized later that she had dug a hole for herself. She silently asked Lu Boyan for help with her eyes, asking him to come up with a more convincing excuse...
Lu Boyan put his arms around Su Jianan's shoulders and said with a smile, "She overslept."
Su Jianan was embarrassed, but Tang Yulan expressed understanding: "When I was young, I was carefree and loved to sleep."
As she got older, she had more and more regrets, and the more she lost, they slowly devoured her good sleep.
Su Jianan vaguely noticed the sadness in Tang Yulan's tone, and gave her a piece of broccoli: "Mom, let's eat."
After the meal, Lu Boyan received a call from the company and went to the study to answer it. Su Jianan chatted with Tang Yulan in the living room.
Seeing that Tang Yulan's mood was still low, Su Jianan thought for a moment and said, "Mom, how about I take another day off tomorrow and call Mrs. Pang and the others to come and play cards with you?"
Tang Yulan smiled and held Su Jian'an's hand: "Jian An, mom knows what you are thinking. It's not that mom is unhappy, she just wants to talk down to his dad."
Her eyes were floating in the air, and there was a wry smile on her lips: "He was very busy during that time, and he didn't even have time to help Boyan celebrate his 16th birthday. According to our plan, when he ends the lawsuit, we will be a family. We went on vacation and helped Bo Yan celebrate his birthday. Later, the lawsuit was finally won. Just the day before we were about to leave for vacation, a car accident happened and he left right away... "
Su Jianan thought of her mother's departure, which was so sudden. She was immersed in happiness the day before, but 24 hours later, her world collapsed...
"Bo Yan was also in the car when the car accident happened. His father tried his best to protect him, so he was okay." Tang Yulan's eyes gradually became moist. "The person who suffered the most was actually Bo Yan. He was looking at his father. He left in a pool of blood. To this day, I dare not read the report of the car accident or look at the pictures saved at the time. But those scenes, the beginning and end of the tragedy, are all in Bo Yan's mind.
"It's been so many years. I don't know if he has forgotten it. I don't even dare to ask him about the scene back then. Because I don't dare to face it and I haven't given him a few words of comfort. I am not a competent mother."
"Mom." Su Jianan hugged Tang Yulan, just like she snuggled into her mother's arms when she was a child. "Bo Yan won't blame you. I will accompany him in the future. No matter what, I will face it with him."
Tang Yulan nodded, wiped away the tears that came from her eyes, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about me. Mom will be fine after a few days."
"You move over and live with us." Su Jian'an repeated the old tune, "That way we can stay with you every day!"
"It's good if you have this heart." Tang Yulan patted Su Jian'an's hand, "But, Mom probably won't be able to move out of here in this life. However, Mom promises you that she will occasionally come to your place to stay for two days in the future. , I’ll prepare delicious food for you.”
Su Jianan nodded: "Okay."
She understood that Tang Yulan was still immersed in the memories of the past and was reluctant to leave. It was rare that she would agree to live with them occasionally. (To be continued)
