When Lu Beichen went out, Ji Niandong was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at her notebook. She seemed to be very focused, not noticing that he had already come over.
Lu Beichen just sat beside her, watching her, and the two of them remained in this stalemate for a long time. Ji Niandong still didn't put down the notebook.
Finally, Lu Beichen surrendered, "Why are you so stubborn? Aren't you willing to say even a word to me?"
The notebook hadn't been turned over; how could she possibly be reading it?
She just didn't know how to face him. His presence next to her made her heart feel chaotic and uneasy, like sitting on pins and needles.
Hearing him speak, she slowly put down the notebook, turned to face him, glanced at him, and then lowered her head again.
She looked pitiful and cautious.
Lu Beichen sighed, reached out to pull her into his arms, "Don't be angry, okay? I promise, without your permission, neither Nian Nian nor I will meet Xi Yao again."
