reaching the doorstep, she gathered her courage and called out to him again, "Hanhua."Lu Hanchuan stopped his steps, slightly turned his face to look at her, waiting for her next words.Fu Xiaoyao too...Fu Xiaoyao lay down with worry, all sleepiness gone. She kept her eyes open, thinking about things incessantly.

She lay there for what felt like an eternity before she finally started to feel her drowsiness returning.

She yawned, then turned over to face away from Lu Hanchuan and fell asleep.

For the next two days, Fu Xiaoyao was still thinking about what excuse to use to refuse Lu Hanchuan. However, before she could speak, Lu Hanchuan would either go to sleep first or return very late, showing no intention of doing anything with her at all.

This relieved her, but she felt a little uneasy.

What worried her was that she didn't know if he was still angry at her for rejecting him two days ago.

"No, I'm sleeping at Linlin's house."

"No!" Lu Hanchuan refused.

"Why" Fu Xiaoyao asked, a little surprised.

"You already have a home, why do you need to stay at someone else's" Lu Hanchuan said with a stern face.

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip, "But Linlin's birthday party is in the evening, and it will definitely be very late when it ends. It's not a good time to take a taxi then, so I wanted to stay."

"No." Lu Hanchuan still refused.

"I'm not going to have to come back in the middle of the night, am I"

"I'm here to pick you up." Lu Hánchuan circled his arms.

Fu Xiaoyao was surprised, "You came to pick me up"

"Where does she live" Lu Hanchuan asked back. truly didn’t hear you. After all, the rain was so loud, it's understandable.”"Yes, but I feel like he did it on purpose. When he walked past me holding Qi Ya just now, I saw the worry in his eyes. He...
