Chapter 124 - 124 Skillful
Lu Yang was not one to procrastinate.
If someone confessed their feelings to her today, and she would not wait until tomorrow to reject them.
Just now, she did not immediately reject Jiang Yanzhou, which meant that she still had some feelings for him.
Whether it was taking advantage of the situation or pushing too far, Jiang Yanzhou did not consider himself a gentleman, and he would not allow her to be confused alone.
Jiang Yanzhou raised his hand and brushed her hair away from her forehead. Lu Yang did not retreat.
“I have been tormented by this ambiguous and uncertain feeling.” His voice dropped, carrying a few tangled emotions. “Lu Yang, when can we be together?”
Lu Yang pursed her lips, unable to control her anxiety. “Jiang Yanzhou, don’t joke around.”
Jiang Yanzhou said seriously, “I won’t force you to make a decision immediately. You can consider it slowly, but before I get an answer, I need to collect some interest.”
“What interest?”
As Lu Yang looked up, he lightly pinched her chin, and a shadow fell over her. The light in Lu Yang’s eyes dimmed a bit.
Jiang Yanzhou pressed his thumb lightly on her lips, lowered his head, and kissed her through his fingers. Then he slowly pulled away, looking at her closely, his voice carrying a lazy sense of satisfaction:
“Very sweet.”
The next day, at dawn, Lu Mingyu came to Laneway.
This time, he was quite well-behaved, parked his car at the door, and waited for her to come down.
Perhaps rushing to catch a plane, Lu Mingyu looked tired, and Lu Yang didn’t chat with him, letting him rest.
After Lu Mingyu had enough sleep, he woke up and asked, “Yang yng, can Jiang Yanzhou live until next year?”
“Why do you ask that?” Lu Yang asked.
Lu Mingyu said indignantly, “1 just had a dream that it was your birthday, and he didn’t give you a gift! It’s so annoying. How could a brother not give his little sister a gift on her birthday, unless he’s dead.”
Lu Yang wanted to knock him out, but she couldn’t bear to, and could only helplessly say, “Mingyu, he’ll live a long life, don’t worry about whether he’s alive or dead.”
Lu Mingyu sighed, “Jiang Yanzhou has lovesickness, seeking death and life. How can he live to be a hundred?”
“Seeking death and life? Lovesickness?”
“Yeah,” Lu Mingyu said, “Do you remember the time when I forgot to give you a birthday present?”
Lu Yang nodded.
There was indeed such a thing.
“That day, I drove to the airport and witnessed Jiang Yanzhou’s car accident on the way. The scene was really shocking, but luckily, your brother was there and managed to rescue him before the car exploded.”
Just like what Jiang Yanzhou said.
“I heard that he had a car accident because he was trying to chase his girlfriend. Don’t be fooled by Jiang Yanzhou’s usual cold appearance. In fact, he’s really sentimental. He’s a big fool for love.”
“Does he have a girlfriend?” Lu Yang was surprised.
“Yeah,” Lu Mingyu said, “If he didn’t have a girlfriend, how could he have a son?”
Lu Chen was not at home, and Lu Yang didn’t stay at home for long either. In the afternoon, he went to Jainex Hospital.
The Lu residence was very peaceful, the hospital was orderly, everything was normal, but it was not peaceful in Laneway.
Zhao Yanshu looked at the big lump on Jiang Yanzhou’s forehead, scrutinized it, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, you’re brave for love, to get hurt like this!”
Jiang Yanzhou remained calm and denied it, “No, it was an accident.”
“It was an accident, and you still haven’t put any medicine on it yet!!” Zhao Yanshu said anxiously.
Jiang Yanzhou replied, “Go to the hospital.”
Zhao Yanshu was stunned, “Do you want me to take you to the hospital to find Lu Yang?”
“I’ll go by myself. The credibility is not high.”
“You did it on purpose!” Zhao Yanshu exclaimed.
Lu Yang had just sent Jin Yao out of the hospital when Zhao Yanshu rushed in frantically.
“Yangyang, help me!”
“What’s wrong?” Lu Yang scrutinized him. ‘You seem fine.”
“Not me, it’s Jiang Yanzhou. He’s in trouble. Come with me and save him!”
Lu Yang wanted to ask more questions, but the situation was critical, so she had no choice but to follow him to the rest room, where they found Jiang Yanzhou, alive and well.
Lu Yang wanted to turn around and leave, but she calmed down and didn’t leave immediately.
“You know he’s very well-known, and it’s easy to be recognized. But the injury is serious, so we had no choice but to find you. If we had been a few minutes later, it would have been a disaster!” Zhao Yanshu said.
Jiang Yanzhou took off his mask and cap, revealing a bruise on his fair forehead.
“I’ll do a CT scan for you to see if there’s any nerve damage,” Lu Yang said.
“No need,” Jiang Yanzhou replied. “It’s not that serious.” “Your body, I understand it better than you do.”
Assistant Yu Cheng’s ears instantly turned red.
Zhao Yanshu stared at Jiang Yanzhou with wide eyes and thought, “Wow, this is progressing very quickly.”
Jiang Yanzhou succinctly burst their bubble, “She has my physical examination report.”
Zhao Yanshu was utterly bewildered.
Lu Yang held a tube of ointment and a cotton swab to apply medicine to Jiang Yanzhou’s wound. He sat while she stood, and as he tilted his head slightly upwards, their eyes met and the scene from last night gradually appeared in his mind.
Lu Yang seemed to have already forgotten about what happened last night as her voice was clear and light, “I’ll apply the medicine for you. If it hurts, just tell me.”
“Okay,” Jiang Yanzhou replied. Zhao Yanshu, who had been leaning against the side, silently gave a thumbs-up. “You’re still so skillful, you can get that close to someone with an injured forehead,” he thought to himself, “Poor brother with a broken bone for the sake of love.”
Suddenly feeling like he was superfluous, Zhao Yanshu stood up straight, “I’m going out to make a call.” Lu Yang glanced at him and politely replied, “Okay.”
Zhao Yanshu looked at Jiang Yanzhou, gestured with his eyes, and said to Lu Yang, “This call will take a while. You guys take your time applying the medicine.”
Lu Yang was at a loss for words.
After Zhao Yanshu left and closed the door, only the two of them remained in the room. Jiang Yanzhou raised her eyebrows, her emotions half-clear and half-ambiguous in her eyes. She could feel the warmth of his breath.
“Have you thought about it?” He asked her.
“My brother said you have a girlfriend,” Lu Yang’s tone was not unusual, but it sounded different to Jiang Yanzhou’s ears.
He chuckled and asked, “Girlfriend, isn’t it you?”
A light breeze blew in from the window, carrying the light of dusk. Lu Yang paused while holding the cotton swab.
When Zhao Yanshu came back, Lu Yang had already finished applying the medicine. She said, “Try not to press the brim of your hat too tightly. It’s not good for the bruise to spread out.”
“But if he only wears a mask, he will be recognized,” Zhao Yanshu worried.
Lu Yang’s gaze fell on Jiang Yanzhou’s peach blossom eyes, and after two seconds of silence, she said, “Wait for me for a moment.”
Five minutes later, Lu Yang came back with a certain fisherman’s hat. It was similar to an astronaut’s helmet.
“This is what I promised to give to Xiaoshi. Wear it and give it to him.”
Zhao Yanshu looked at the man wearing the fisherman’s hat and couldn’t help but burst into laughter as soon as Lu Yang left the room. “I didn’t expect you to wear a cute hat! Let’s take a picture to remember.”
Jiang Yanzhou was at a loss for words..
