The man’s cold breath floated into Lu Yang’s nostrils. She grabbed his hand and attempted to move away. Before she could react, Jiang Yanzhou abruptly grabbed her hand and spun her around. He placed her hand on his neck, urging her to hold onto it.

Jiang Yanzhou’s features were very distinct due to the thin flesh on his jawline. He lowered his eyes, stared at her intently, and his pronounced Adam’s apple moving up and down. After a while, he lowered his voice and said, “Let’s continue our previous conversation. Earlier, when you said to give me a chance, was it to stabilize me or was it the truth?”

Being with him, was it because she had no other choice or did, she genuinely want to be with him?

Jiang Yanzhou had confidence in many things, but when it came to her, he didn’t dare to make unfounded judgments.

His eyes were shaded by the shadows cast by his eyelashes, making it difficult to discern his emotions. However, Lu Yang seemed to see that familiar and indescribable gloom.

Jiang Yanzhou knew very well that she could twist and flatten him as she pleased, and he not only had no complaints, but he even enjoyed it.

There were many unexpected things in the world. For example, she unintentionally hooked him, but his feelings for her were like a burning flame, spreading and flourishing.

How much did he have to like someone to abandon his beliefs of more than twenty years and stubbornly stay by her side?

Even if she only pitied him, he didn’t want to let go of that bit of compassion she had for him.

Jiang Yanzhou knew that the more he suffered, the more she would feel sorry for him. So, he shamelessly used her sense of pity to make her see him.

People are greedy. He not only wanted her pity, but he also wanted her pure and unadulterated love. He wanted her to love not only his body but also his soul.

The man’s gaze was focused, unwavering, as he stared at her. Lu Yang felt her arm growing tired, wanting to retract her hand, but he suddenly held it down.

In an instant, his thin lips parted slightly, his voice low and tinged with helplessness. “Give me some face.”

“A sincere question.”

Lu Yang’s gaze shifted, landing on the man’s slender and bone-like knuckles that had a cold white sheen. She continued, “When it comes to emotions, I never lie.”

She wasn’t like him, who would take detours and use various methods just to meet someone.

Jiang Yanzhou had always been prepared for the world of fame and fortune, but when it came to emotions, he had little experience and occasionally found himself at a dead end.

Lu Yang liked to remain calm and restrained, so he remained calm and restrained.

Lu Yang didn’t like it when he was jealous, so he digested his jealousy on his own.

Lu Yang didn’t want to be in a relationship yet, so he waited for her.

Looking at Jiang Yanzhou, Lu Yang suddenly remembered those difficult days.

Her grandfather had hardly ever been sick in her memory. When she rushed to the hospital and saw her pale grandfather lying on the bed, his life being sustained by various machines, she knew that her grandfather was no different from a lifeless body.

He lay there, but the familiar grandfather was no longer there.

When she dreamed of her grandfather at night, she felt uncomfortable and vomited in the bathroom for a long time, as if she wanted to vomit out her stomach.

After a while, she felt a little better, propped herself up with her arm, prepared to get up, but suddenly, a hand reached out in front of her.

Lu Yang’s blurred peripheral vision saw a pair of black casual pants with a textured fabric, long fingers holding a cup, and the cup being extended towards her.

She was taken aback. “Thank you.”

Lu Yang took the cup, glanced at him, and saw that he showed no emotion while looking at her, not saying a word.

Jiang Yanzhou followed her to the balcony, the late night silent with only the faint sound of leaves rustling in the wind.

He didn’t ask her what happened, he just silently accompanied her.

Because he knew that she didn’t want to tell him right now

Just three days ago, her grandfather was still speaking clearly, moving freely, and they had even made plans to watch Lu Mingyu’s performance together next winter.

But now, there would be no next winter.

Yearning for too much would only lead to regrets when they couldn’t be fulfilled. She couldn’t outrun time, and time spared no one.

Her grandparents were her faith, her fortress.

There was a kind of love in the world that couldn’t be measured, whether you were outstanding or mediocre, they would always love you.

On her grandfather’s birthday this year, she had personally drawn a longevity painting for him, and her grandfather had smiled so much that he couldn’t close his mouth, boasting to everyone.

But now, her grandfather had gone elsewhere.

Suppressing her emotions in front of her family, the floodgates burst open, and she could no longer restrain herself.

Lu Yang’s eyes turned reddish, and the crystal tears overflowed, quickly streaming down her cheeks.

Immediately, she squatted down, hugging her legs and burying her head in her knees. Her long eyelashes trembled lightly, and her slender fingers trembled.

“Lu Yang,” Jiang Yanzhou said, “Get up.”

The complete darkness around her was tangible, and she had nowhere to escape. She was suddenly captured and her heart flooded with a sour sensation.

Then she heard him take a step back and say, “Look up.”

Lu Yang didn’t move.

Jiang Yanzhou frowned slightly, then bent down, gently pinching her chin. Lu Yang’s eyes and nose were red, tear stains evident on her cheeks, and a few teardrops threatened to fall but didn’t.

“Why are you crying?”

“It’s cold… so cold,” she said with a tearful voice.

Jiang Yanzhou’s eyes were deep, the thin eyelids lifting slightly, and his eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on his cold white skin. His low and deep gaze swirled with indiscernible emotions.

Their eyes met, and Lu Yang heard him say, “It’s my fault.”

In the next moment, the man leaned down and firmly sealed her lips with his.

Lu Yang’s internal organs skipped a beat for a moment, then trembled uncontrollably like her five fingers.

Jiang Yanzhou slightly loosened his hold, lifting her up from the ground and pulling her into his embrace. He lowered his head and kissed her even deeper.

He angled his body slightly to block all the wind, and the warmth of his body enveloped her. Lu Yang’s fingers had stopped trembling, and she tightly grasped the man’s clothes.

It was a comforting kiss, not gentle, as if it wanted to occupy her entire consciousness and wipe away her sadness.

Lu Yang’s breathing became chaotic, and when he released her, she placed her palm against Jiang Yanzhou’s chest, pushing him away, but he held her by the waist and pressed her back.

“Still cold?” he asked.

Even though he knew it wasn’t because of the cold, he pretended to be clueless and went along with her.

Lu Yang wrapped her arms around Jiang Yanzhou’s waist, pressing her head against his chest. Her heartache had eased a bit, but tears continued to flow uncontrollably.

Jiang Yanzhou’s palm held her head. “It’s okay, I’m here.”

After a long time, the tears stopped.

Lu Yang felt that she had bumped into something hard. Her slender fingers instinctively reached into his pocket.

Jiang Yanzhou was momentarily taken aback, but he didn’t stop her. He felt the agile fingers rubbing against his thigh through the thin fabric. The hand that was rummaging in his pocket was slightly cold.

It tickled a bit.

And there was something else.

Jiang Yanzhou raised his chin slightly, his Adam’s apple rolling uncontrollably a few times.

“I can’t resist it anymore,” he mused.

After feeling around for a while, Lu Yang took out a key and pulled his hand, firmly patting it into his palm.

“What’s this?”

She said the password lock was broken, that she went out for a run and didn’t bring her key, so she asked him to sleep on her couch for the night. But she caught him in the act.

Lu Yang kicked Jiang Yanzhou and her brows furrowed with rare annoyance. “Liar!”

Jiang Yanzhou watched her figure, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

In fact, he had to be upset if she was angry, tit for tat.

He had witnessed her in both her saddest and angriest moments.

Jiang Yanzhou averted his eyes for a moment before straightening the hem of his shirt.

His life aspirations were because of Lu Yang..
