She earnestly asked him to consider, but he always managed to steer the conversation elsewhere.
Just like her brother, but Lu Mingyu made her laugh and cry, while the man in front of her caught her off guard.
It was impossible to tease him back.
If she refused, she wanted to give him the choice.
Lu Mingyu and Jiang Yanzhou appeared indifferent on the surface, but they actually got along well, otherwise the people around them wouldn’t dare to make jokes.
Jiang Yanzhou suddenly asked, ‘What should we do?’
Lu Yang responded, ‘About what?’
‘I want to give you an injection right now and let you feel it.’
Endless nonsensical talk.
Although the conditions were quite tempting…
Lu Yang raised her eyes, and a few stray hairs on her forehead partially obstructed her vision. ‘I can’t do it now.’
She didn’t like being dismissive. Her hand’s condition didn’t allow her to be serious at the moment.
Jiang Yanzhou gently released her. ‘Let me take a look.’
She thought he wanted to see the injury on her hand, but to her surprise, he lifted his hand, his thumb resting on her forehead, pushing aside the stray hairs, and his gaze fixed on her eyes.
He leaned closer, examining her carefully several times, a faint smile forming at the corner of his lips. ‘Your mood has improved.’
When he first saw her, her eyes were like glimmering fragments, calm but hiding a sharpness. It was a normal state, but there was an imperceptible sense of unease in her eyes.
—She was afraid of something, just like he was afraid of losing her.
Now her face was bathed in a soft halo, her expression gentle, the corners of her eyes slightly uplifted, and her eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her lower eyelids. She looked much happier.
Lu Yang’ joints tightened, and her gaze trembled.
Her mood, which was like stagnant water, was disturbed by the casual conversation, creating ripples.
In an instant, Jiang Yanzhou lightly patted her head, his gaze relaxed, and he looked at her hand. ‘Is it still painful?’
Lu Yang blinked her eyelids, not knowing what she was thinking, her expression calm. ‘No, it’s not.’
Jiang Yanzhou asked, ‘Do you know that person just now?’
As he spoke, he gently held her two fingers and placed them on the back of his hand, a deliberate and purposeful action. Lu Yang felt her heart slowly suspended, hanging in the air.
She had a strange habit—she liked to look at people’s veins first, the visible blood vessels.
Almost no one could understand. When her close friends learned about it when they were younger, they said she was eccentric, a weirdo, and they wanted to stay away from her.
But now, Jiang Yanzhou himself had come forward. She couldn’t think of a reason to refuse.
Jiang Yanzhou had fair skin, not as unruly as Lu Mingyu, but the former had an excessively pale complexion, while the latter had a healthy white.
Although the visibilitv of veins was unrelated to skin color. she found it auite
curious. His body seemed fine, so why was he so pale?
Lu Yang lightly pressed her fingertip on the prominent vein on his hand and looked up at him. ‘Did you mention Gu Liye?’
‘Yes.’
‘He is my senior brother. When I first entered the school, he guided us for a while.’
‘He looks quite mature. Is he married?’
“I didn’t pay attention,” Lu Yang replied. “I’m not very interested in other people’s personal lives.”
Just like a genius teenager entering a top-tier school at the age of twelve, Lu Yang also entered the Hundred-People Program as an exception. Most of the participants in the Hundred-People Program were outstanding master’s or doctoral students from China and abroad. Some people had criticized her behind her back, saying that she must have used improper means to get in because of her young age. However, after witnessing her calm and composed demeanor in handling emergencies, no one dared to openly question her anymore.
Jiang Yanzhou looked at her thoughtfully and said, “Your brother probably won’t be back for a while. Shall we go out and grab something to eat first?”
Lu Yang initially wanted to refuse, but then she suddenly remembered that Lu Mingyu hadn’t eaten much that day, so she nodded and said, “Alright, let’s get something to eat, and I’ll bring some for my brother.”
There was a clean and quiet coffee shop with British-style decor near the hospital, so they went there directly.
They found a less crowded area and sat down. Before long, the waiter brought their order to them.
Lu Yang stirred her spoon and looked up at the man opposite her who had his baseball cap pulled down low. She silently tugged at the corners of her lips.
She had an inexplicable sense of something secretive.
While eating, she scrolled through her phone for the latest updates. There wasn’t anything particularly interesting, so she quickly went through one piece of news after another.
‘What the hell, I caught this wicked woman again!”
An unpleasant curse sounded, and Lu Yang raised her head slightly to see Cheng Zelin, whose face was covered in stubble.
She was momentarily stunned and took a while to remember who he was.
That person who was expelled from school due to academic misconduct.
“You have no shame!” Cheng Zelin angrily berated, pointing at Lu Yang as he approached. “Because of you, I’ve ended up like this. Are you happy now? I’ve never seen anyone more malicious than you!”
Perhaps realizing that he wouldn’t gain anything by speaking, Cheng Zelin anxiously looked around. Finally, he picked up the warm coffee brought by the waiter and poured it straight at Lu Yang.
Jiang Yanzhou instinctively stood up and shielded her. She didn’t get a drop of coffee on her.
When Jiang Yanzhou looked at the coffee stains on his clothes and furrowed his brows, Lu Yang felt displeased. The indifference in her eyes dissipated, replaced by a fullness that filled her entire eye sockets.
“I heard you almost lost your life on a variety show,” Cheng Zelin continued relentlessly. “Your cowardly brother isn’t a good person either!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a piercing scream followed, accompanied by exclamations from onlookers.
Jiang Yanzhou turned his gaze and saw Lu Yang pour the untouched beverage all over Cheng Zelin’s face. Her movements were swift. She stood up, grabbed the bewildered Cheng Zelin by the neck, and forcefully restrained him from banging his head on the table.
Lu Yang had never explained the cause and effect of her grievances to her relatives from childhood to adulthood. First, she believed that the situation would never be resolved and would only worry her relatives. Second, she would immediatelv seek iustice.
The saying “Revenge is a dish best served cold” was not applicable to her. She felt that tomorrow would be too late.
Jin Yao never expected that he would witness such a dramatic scene when he came to the hospital for a follow-up visit.
At first, he thought it was a scene of two men fighting over a woman. But as he continued watching, he realized it was a girl reprimanding a guy. He became more interested and approached. Once he took a closer look, he realized that the girl was none other than the moonlight he had been yearning for day and night!
Jin Yao’s mouth hung open, and he quickly took out his phone to take a picture.
The scene of the moonlight smashing someone was too beautiful!
He wanted to capture it.
Jin Yao completely forgot what he had said earlier, “Men don’t like girls who fight with men.”
At this moment, he not only forgot but also immersed himself in the scene.
On someone else’s territory, one couldn’t cause too much commotion. Lu Yang restrained herself a bit and let go of Cheng Zelin, who collapsed on the ground, feeling dizzy.
A pair of hands appeared in her line of sight. Lu Yang shifted her gaze and took the tissue Jiang Yanzhou handed to her. She calmly wiped her hands.
After wiping them clean, she half squatted down, picked up Cheng Zelin’s phone, made him unlock it, and fiddled with her own phone for a while. Before long, she returned his phone to him and said, “I’ve paid your medical expenses.”
Lu Yang’s voice was clear and once again displayed her easy-going demeanor.
However, she curved her lips and lowered her voice, saying, “But if I hear even half a word slandering my brother, I will find time every day to beat you up..”
