When she visited during the National Day holidays, he was still smoking in front of her. But after a few days, the smell of cigarettes was nowhere to be found. Even Zhou Weiqi and Chen Xuyao were barred from smoking by Lu Xingzhi.
Now, he could not hold it in anymore and lit a cigarette right in front of Jiang Yao.
She looked at him in silence and felt the aching pain in her heart.
He did not want her to leave.
Yet, what else could he say?
Perhaps he did not want to send her off and see her leave right before his eyes?
He did not speak and smoked in silence. After finishing the cigarette in hand, he rolled down the car window and tossed the cigarette butt out. Grabbing himself a bottle of water, he proceeded to chug a few mouthfuls down his throat.
"Lu Xingzhi..."
Jiang Yao gently called out.
"I know, give me a moment." He thought she was eager to leave and answered in a slightly annoyed tone. He put the water bottle away, turned toward Jiang Yao, lifted her up, and placed her on his laps.
Jiang Yao was startled. After all, there were a lot of people around them!
The space was cramped and with the way they were sitting, Jiang Yao's entire body was pushed against Lu Xingzhi.
Seeing her expression, he chuckled, "What did you think I was going to do?"
"How would I know?" She retorted.
