Chapter 472: Would That Be Bad for Your Health?
Lu Yan: "You look pretty amazed?"
Chen Ya’s smile was a bit awkward, but still composed: "I just didn’t expect you to find a girlfriend so quickly. I never heard a peep before."
Lu Yan: "I find it quite remarkable too. Sometimes when fate arrives, you just can’t stop it."
As he spoke, he smiled again: "I have to wake up early tomorrow, it’s quite late now, you should..."
He was clearly showing her out.
Chen Ya’s face looked worse: "Why don’t you walk me out? After all, it’s raining hard, and it’s pretty unsafe for a girl like me."
"You came over here alone," Lu Yan said.
The implication was that if she could come alone, why couldn’t she leave alone?
Lu Yan wasn’t foolish, and Chen Ya could hear the meaning behind his words.
But she...
She stared at the drink, she had already spiked it.
He drank the water too, she couldn’t let someone else benefit from it.
"I saw some people fighting on the way here, just thinking about it still scares me a bit, come on, walk me out."
Lu Yan glanced at his watch: "It’s past eleven, the city center isn’t too late. If you see people fighting, call the police, or you could call me directly."
He refused decisively, without any hesitation.
Chen Ya frowned, her mind racing: "We’ve been friends for so many years, why not walk me out?"
Lu Yan chuckled as he listened to this: "It’s not that I don’t value our years of friendship, but you’re part of our team. Even if you’re a desk job, your physical skills are up to scratch. Our fire brigade girls wouldn’t be bullied going out."
"Besides, I know what you’re capable of." Lu Yan added, "If you were like my girlfriend, delicate and easily toppled, I’d walk you out even if you didn’t ask."
"And furthermore, if I walk you out and leave her alone at home, I wouldn’t be comfortable. Tonight’s rain will be followed by thunder, she might be scared, and if I’m not there, what then?"
"What if she talks about breaking up with me?" Lu Yan: "You have to understand, it’s hard for me to find someone, right?"
Chen Ya was rendered speechless.
Lu Yan mentioned his girlfriend with every breath, what kind of woman made this normally aloof man speak of her constantly?
Chen Ya bit her lip, knowing if she continued talking, she’d definitely annoy him.
She suppressed her indignation, but for the sake of the larger picture, she knew she couldn’t stay.
Lu Yan was never interested in her, if this caused him to hate her, it would be truly unnecessary.
In the end, Chen Ya left home.
Lu Yan glanced at her retreating figure and chuckled lightly, the woman’s calculations weren’t lost on him.
...
Not long after Chen Ya left, Lu Yan continued working.
As he worked, his entire body began to heat up.
Staring at the computer screen, his focus gradually blurred and scattered.
His mind started conjuring images it shouldn’t have.
His body turned dry and parched all over.
With deep eyes, he suddenly gazed at the cup of water, quickly realizing the signs in his body.
Chen Ya had indeed insisted on him going out...
Lu Yan took a deep breath, stood up, tugged at his collar, his Adam’s apple unusually enticing.
The man stepped into the bathroom with long strides.
Soon, the splashing sounds of water came from the bathroom.
It turned out cold water was useful indeed, just before leaving the bathroom, an inexplicable image of the girl’s figure lying in bed flashed in his mind.
"Damn..."
The man cursed lowly, shut the bathroom door with a "bang".
After taking a shower again, he emerged with drawn lips, his face cold and unpleasant, heading toward the guest room.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night.
On the other side.
Song Nuan’s breathing was steady, the blanket piled on her made it hard to breathe.
"Boom—" A sudden rumble of thunder made her eyes snap open.
She frowned and removed the cover from her body.
The air conditioner blew cold air unexpectedly, chilling her with a shiver.
She looked beside her, and seeing no one there, picked up her phone for a look, it was almost 1 o’clock.
Song Nuan frowned, adjusted the air conditioner to a constant temperature.
Was he still working?
She donned a small jacket, went barefoot to bed, opened the bedroom door, and found darkness everywhere, no lights at all.
Only the light spilled out from her bedroom, her small head peeking out, looking around.
First, she glanced at the study’s direction, it was dark too.
Next, she looked at the guest room beside it, noticing a dim light through the door crack.
"Boom—" Another clap of thunder sounded, mixed with lightning.
It briefly illuminated the living room, brightly.
Feeling an inexplicable chilling sense, Song Nuan wrapped her small jacket tightly, and stepped toward the guest room.
She didn’t knock, her head didn’t register such actions, with thunder and flashing lightning outside, it scared her terribly.
Suddenly, she pushed the door open: "Lu Yan, you—"
The scene before her made her entire thought process halt.
Her eyes widened wide.
She stepped back twice, her face flushed instantly, turning red all the way to her ears.
Song Nuan stammeringly held onto the door handle: "I... I didn’t see anything."
Having said that, "bang", she shut the door.
Hurriedly returned to the bedroom.
And Lu Yan, froze in place, almost back to normal...
His eyes grew terribly dark, just struck by her sudden actions, her voice, reignited the flame.
...
Song Nuan returned to the bedroom.
She had no idea what to do, she just sort of walked in, sort of walked in on him.
How would she face him tomorrow?
Should she claim to be sleepwalking?
Song Nuan swallowed hard, could it be he was controlling himself?
She, alive and present, right there and he held back.
In the bedroom, he just... he just...
The more she thought about it, the more Song Nuan felt her face burning like a fire.
She’d read up on this, something many teenagers do during adolescence.
But him, even at his age, he needed to do that?
Would doing that often be bad for his health?
Song Nuan pondered in her room.
Finally decided—
She slowly stood up, step by step, leisurely moved to the guest room door again.
"Click—" The door creaked open again under the girl’s push.
The man now wrapped in a bath towel below, intending to open the door and come out.
Heavy breathing filled the air, his eyes darkened further upon seeing Song Nuan.
Song Nuan looked at him, licked her lips: "Well, I..."
