The door was closed, Jiang Chengyi was still standing still, Lu Yan had no way to retreat, and was forced to stick in front of him.

His breath was just above his head, soft and warm, so itchy that the hairs on the back of her neck stood up quietly.

"Why Jiang Chengyi." This time it was her turn to ask him.

Her voice was low, and the soft and soft breath seemed to blow through the clothes onto his skin.

He stared at her, because of the bath, her cheeks were blushing, and her eyes were reflecting the snow-like crystal lamps above her head, which were full of water.

He tried hard not to let his eyes slide down her neck: "Your mother still lives in Fenglu Garden?"

"Um."

"It's quite far, an hour's drive."

"Yes."

"I have to go to lunch tomorrow."

"Yes." What happened

"sleep early."

Oh, that makes sense.

Lu Yan nodded cooperatively, and before he could speak, he was dragged into his room by his hand.

It is a huge room with only one bed and two sofas. In the afternoon, the white sheets are changed, and the warm yellow bedside lamp shines, making it more comfortable and warm.

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind her, she suddenly felt the air was unusually hot.

"Jiang Chengyi."

"Um."

"IM thirsty."

"There's water over there."

She turned her head and, sure enough, there was a glass of lemonade on the bedside table.

She walked to the bed and sat down, picked it up and took a sip, her throat was still dry, and she couldn't help gulping down half a glass.

I want to drink, but suddenly my hands are empty.

He took the cup and drank the remaining half of the glass.

"I'm still thirsty," she protested.

He grabbed her wrist, pulled her to the sofa and sat down: "Fall down in a while."

Her head stuck to his chest like this, but her heart tensed inexplicably.

If she was not mistaken, in his eyes just now, in addition to desire, there was also clearly discernible restraint, obviously two completely different emotions, but they were strangely intertwined.

Her hunch was always accurate, but she heard him say in the next second, "I have something to tell you."

Jiang Chengyi's voice was very low, and when he spoke, there was a clear tremor in the chest wall. Out of years of clinical habit, she knew where the apex of his heart was when she closed her eyes, so she put her ear exactly on that part and clicked Counting the pulse of his life, he said softly, "Okay."

"What did my mother tell you this afternoon?"

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said slowly, "I didn't say anything, just gave me something."

He snorted, and he didn't need to ask to know what kind of treasures they were. Don't worry, when he finished talking to her, he could use it as he wanted.

After waiting for a while, before he could speak, she moved her eyes slightly and looked up at him: "Well, my aunt told me about your flight and hotel booking."

He looked pale, but didn't deny it.

She couldn't help smiling, her heart was as sweet as honey.

He looked at her smile and knew that no matter how quiet and submissive this woman looked at the moment, she was still as stubborn as ever. She has been cooking at home since junior high school and insisted on studying medicine. She has long been accustomed to relying on herself for everything. Make up your own mind about everything.

I remember that before the college entrance examination, there was a sports meeting, and the two sat in the empty stands drinking soda.

He asked her what volunteers she planned to apply for, and she said she wanted to study medicine.

With no new answer, he smiled and said, "What's wrong with studying, why do you have to force yourself to study such a hard major?"

She had long finished drinking the soda, she put the jar aside, shook her head, and said to him seriously: "I have done a lot of homework, if I study medicine, my job will be relatively stable and lucrative. My mother has had a hard time all these years. , I hope I can be able to take care of my mother in the future."

That was the first time she took the initiative to talk about her family. When the two of them chatted before, although they also talked about this topic, she always deliberately downplayed or avoided it.

He was a little frustrated, how could he not exist in her life plan.

But he also knows that they are still too young, there are countless variables in their lives, and many words seem impetuous and empty when they are said, and it is far better to do it.

With sourness in his heart, he pinched her cheek: "Classmate Lu, where did you put me?"

She smiled and said nothing, put away the towel that wiped his sweat just now, and pulled him up: "It's getting late, let's go."

"Lu Yan." After a long time, he heard himself speak, "At that time, we broke up, and I changed my offer on impulse. I had a big fight with my father about this."

Lu Yan was slightly stunned, there was a gap of eight years between the breakup and the reunion. But since the two reconciled, this was the first time Jiang Chengyi took the initiative to mention the incident at that time.

"In the first few years, I never thought about going back to City S, because at that time I wanted to cut it off from my past life, and I didn't want to touch the corners of the past again. Even if I returned to City S one day, it would only be for me. parents."

"But during that time in City B, I couldn't help thinking of you. I remember that I was addicted to basketball all day in my first year of high school and never paid attention to the girls around me, but once your representative won the Science and Technology Award for middle school students, when you received the award, You are wearing a school uniform with a ponytail and an ordinary dress, but it is because you can be seen at a glance that I realize that there are such beautiful girls in our school.

"Afterwards, I got to know you day by day. I know that you study hard, you care about feelings, you are very good to your friends, you are in the top three in the grade every time you take an exam, you are strict with yourself, and you take everything step by step. Do everything the best. During the time without you, as long as I thought of you, I thought of you being so serious, and I unknowingly devoted all my energy to work and study. You are stubborn, and I am more stubborn than you. I think that sooner or later I will meet someone better than you and forget you completely. But three years ago, I met Tang Jie in city b. Moved the idea of transferring back to City S."

Lu Yan remained motionless in his arms, but the root of her nose suddenly became astringent.

"My father was very eccentric and strong. At the beginning, he strongly opposed me to study criminal investigation. If he knew that I wanted to be transferred back, not only would he not support it, but he would also stumble in secret, so I could only hide my transfer from my parents. Three years later , I was finally transferred to the Ansan District Bureau. Before I was sure of your attitude, I made a decision impulsively. At the stage when everything was still unclear, I said to myself, I'm not for you, I'm for myself ."

Her smile grew sour.

Jiang Chengyi couldn't bear it on his face. Out of self-esteem, he had planned to rot in his stomach for the rest of his life, but since he decided to have a candid talk with her, there was no need to hide it.

"Anyway, after going around for a few years, the two of us are still together. When we broke up, there were too many factors involved. You and I are far from being calm and wise enough, but eight years are enough to pull people out of it. I've polished it all over the place. After several years of growth, I'm more mature than before, and now I just want to ask you—"

He paused.

She listened with bated breath.

He lowered his voice. "I'm ready to love you better than I did eight years ago. I hope... you can love me better than I did eight years ago."

The last sentence, he said word by word.

She looked at him, tears rolling down one by one.

A silent, desperate nod.

His throat was slightly choked, and he leaned over to kiss her tears, his hot breath intertwined with her soft breath, kissing and kissing, his desire suddenly burned like fire, and the strength on his lips increased, Fumbling to unbutton her pajamas.

When he took off her shirt to her waist, he saw a dazzling beauty, froze for a moment, tightened his arms, hugged her horizontally, and rolled them onto the bed.

He lingered in front of her chest, panting heavily: "Is this what my mother gave you?"

Terrible.

Any more

She wrapped his arms around his neck, kissed him heartily, unbuttoned his buttons one by one, and gave a vague hum.

While he was stunned, he pushed him away and suppressed him.

At half past six in the morning, Lu Yan woke up.

Lying on the bed, she had a strange feeling. I didn't think the bed was so big last night. Lying under the quilt now, she felt like she was stuck in the snow.

Jiang Chengyi's arm was pressed against her chest, his skin was hot, and he slept soundly, with half of his face buried in the snow-white pillow, his breath was light and steady.

Glancing from her angle, all he could see was his clean skin and black hair.

She bent her lips and looked at him for a while, then leaned in, kissed him lightly on the cheek, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed quietly.

After washing, she went to the restaurant to prepare breakfast. In the kitchen, a juicer and fruit were readily available, and rice and red beans were readily available. She washed the fruit, washed the rice and red beans, and planned to cut some pumpkins and purple potatoes to cook porridge. .

While she was busy, she heard footsteps, and when she looked back, Jiang Chengyi came over.

Sleepy eyes, hair scattered in front of his forehead, wearing only a pair of long pajama pants, his broad shoulders and strong abs are fully exposed.

"Why are you up so early?" He went straight into the kitchen.

She put the rice and red beans into the stew pot: "I'll make you breakfast."

"You're too bad to eat." He looked disgusted, "Go back and sleep for a while, I'll make it for you."

She put down the bowl and urged him to go out: "I will definitely not do worse than you this time."

Pushing him unable to push, she looked at him with a half-smile: "What the hell are you doing?"

He guided her hand, let her hold her vitals, and made a serious request: "Accompany me back to the room and sleep for a while."

She secretly said, "Oh, how can it be as bad as you?" Like him, she drew back her hands solemnly, kicked off her shoes, and deliberately put her feet on his insteps, wrapping them around his waist.

He looked at her with a smile, took the trouble to put his arms around her and returned to the end of the corridor step by step, gropingly opened the door behind him, and took her in.

It was half past nine by the time the two finished packing up.

Because he wanted to see his elders, Jiang Chengyi wore a more formal dress, a dark blue suit with a z-headed fit, and a tie that she chose for him. Looking coldly, he was extremely handsome.

As soon as he got in the car, he was busy answering the phone.

Lu Yan didn't allow herself to be idle. She looked at the documents stored on her phone for a while. She remembered that a professor gave a lecture that was a bit similar to her topic when she attended the annual meeting last month. She remembered taking pictures at that time, so she opened it. Album, pull out the photos from October.
