Sitting down for a while, then she rose to her feet and walked around in the house. She opened the drawer beside her leg and took out a bag of milk tea powder.
He had the same habit as before, it must have milk tea powder at home. After all, she had lived with the Lu family for four years and she heard many things from the house servants. Thus, even though she disliked the man very much in her previous life, she could still remember it well.
She walked to the tea machine and boiled herself a pot of water. She made a cup of milk tea, then she sat down and drank it.
Lu Yi saw Yan Huan was sitting barefoot with a cup of milk tea in her hand when he opened the door.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He frowned, well, you are good at looking for something.
âYouâre finally awake.â He came over with a bowl in his hand.
Is it instant noodles inside the bowl?
She happily drank another cup of milk tea and stared at the man who was coming in. She didnât feel strange about it, perhaps they were too familiar with each other.
Both in the previous life and this life.
Sometimes, it did not mean that they did not know each other even though they remained silent but they had just deceived themselves. Yan Huan realized that she was quite stupid before.
Lu Yi walked over and put the bowl in front of her, âEat it.â
Yan Huan lowered her head, she was hungry and her stomach kept rumbling when she saw the food inside the bowl. It wasnât instant noodles but her favouriteâminced pork congee with century egg.
She picked up the bowl and ate it slowly.
She didnât know whether she was hungry or the food was delicious, she felt that this was the best minced-pork congee with century egg that she ever had.
Lu Yi was standing beside, looking at her while she was eating.
Yan Huan raised her head and focused her eyes on the congee, then she continued eating. There was nothing more important than her porridge. It was so tasty that she would think of it for a lifetime if she skipped it.
She finished the congee very soon but she was still hungry. She pursed her lips and she was embarrassed to ask for more.
Lu Yi took the bowl from her hand and went out again.
Looking at her wound on her body, Yan Huan touched her face which also got injured. Even if she powdered her face, it couldnât hide her wound, but she couldnât put on powder as it might be infected and spoiled her beauty.
Luckily, she wouldnât get a scar easily as her mother gave her a good physique. But she had ruined it in the previous life.
She couldnât go back to meet Yi Ling, otherwise, she didnât know how to answer her: car accident? Fell down? Bumped against the wall? She was exhausted and she needed to rest now, then would she only think about how to explain to Yi Ling, and also adjusted her psychology, in case Yi Ling realized there was something wrong.
She touched her body for a long time, but she could not find her phone. She was ready to ask and then she found her bag on the table, she quickly ran over and got her phone out.
She pressed on it, good! It could still function, and it wasnât broken.
âHello, Yi Ling. Itâs me, I am not going back today, itâs raining heavily now. I will look for a place to stay and going back tomorrow.â She looked outside, the rain pattering down at the moment. But the rain varied from place to place, presumably, Yi Ling would not have suspected.
At the same time, Lu Yi was standing outside and he heard Yan Huanâs voice. He didnât have much reaction, it didnât matter if he let her stay for one night as the house had enough space.
He came over and put the bowl in front of Yan Huan.
âThank you.â Yan Huan set her phone down and took the bowl with both hands and dug in the congee. She ate in a ladylike manner, usually, she didnât eat much in the evening. However, today was an exception. She ate an extra bowl because she was so hungry and it was delicious.
She ate slowly without a single halt.
Lu Yi pulled a chair and sat down, staring at her without blinking.
âWhatâs the matter?â Yan Huan raised her face with no fear. She already got used to his face. Even though he treated people cold, he was still a good man; and even though he was hard-hearted, he was still a gentleman.
âYou have guts.â Lu Yi slightly narrowed his eyes, âYou dared to jump off a building, arenât you afraid of falling to death?â
âNo, I donât.â Yan Huan felt nothing as she had jumped off to save him in her previous life.
âI have calculated that the tarpaulin would have a cushioning effect, and I would have only slightly injured at the most. Look, Iâm still alive.â She cherished her life, it wasnât easy for her to live again, and thus, she wouldnât fall to death easily.
âYou may ask for my help if you get into trouble in the future.â After a momentâs silence, he went on.
Yan Huan did not feel happy but she felt a twinge at the heart. She ate a mouthful of congee and lowered her head.
âHow long can you protect me?â One day or two days? One time or twice? He had a girlfriend. Though he was nearly thirty and though he wasnât married, he was already taken by someone.
He belonged to another; he was untouchable and unreliable.
Lu Yi suddenly reached out and touched the top of her head. âAs long as Iâm here.â
âIs this a promise?â Yan Huan tilted her head to one side, asking him seriously. The manâs words could not be relied upon, the more they sounded beautiful, the more they lied.
A manâs promise was just for fun.
But the man seemed like an exception. He was not Lu Qin, what Lu Qin said was sheer nonsense. However, Lu Yi would keep his promise, he was always methodical in his work, but he was definitely true.
âYes.â Lu Yi moved his big hand but he stood still.
âMay I know why you jumped?â
She stirred the congee with her spoon, then lifted it to her mouth.
âYan Lixiong is his name, his nickname is Yan Fatso. He is a third-class producer. He had been offering me âcasting couchâ for a long time, but I didnât receive his offers.â She ate a mouthful again and continued speaking, âI received a text message from Director Jin. He said he wanted to discuss the new drama with me and thus, I showed up. And I never expected that I would meet not Director Jin but him.â She pursed her lips, she believed Director Jin wouldnât lie to her, it must be the fatso using Director Jinâs phone to do bad things.
Yan Huan did not go on, but Lu Yi could understand her.
