Lu Yao got up very late in the morning. With an empty stomach, she was about to go downstairs to find something to eat. But as soon as she got up, she saw Lu Shun sitting on the sofa, chatting with Lu Zhihang. Her steps on the stairs suddenly froze. She tiptoed back her foot stealthily, trying to turn around and run away, but was spotted by the sharp - eyed Lu Zhihang.
"Lu Yao! Stop right there and come downstairs obediently to go back with Big Brother!" Lu Zhihang's voice was extremely serious.
Lu Yao shrank her neck and looked around the living room, trying to use the same trick as last night to move Lin Wan. But she couldn't find Lin Wan, and her intention was already noticed.
Lu Zhihang rushed up angrily and grabbed her by the collar. "What are you looking at? Your sister - in - law isn't here. Even if she were, don't even think about playing any tricks. Were you being naughty last night? Your sister - in - law didn't sleep well at all!"
Hearing this, Lu Yao instinctively wanted to retort that she was a well - behaved sleeper. But as soon as she heard the latter part, she fell silent. She let Lu Zhihang carry her downstairs meekly. When going out, she was still very reluctant. "Can I come here again in the future? Can I come and play with sister - in - law? Right? Right?"
"Wrong. No way. Don't even dream about it!" Lu Zhihang glanced at her, mercilessly dropped this sentence and then slammed the door shut.
When he turned around, Lin Wan was standing on the stairs, rubbing her eyes and looking at him.
Seeing this, Lu Zhihang quickly stepped forward to show his concern. He was almost about to carry Lin Wan back to the room.
"What's wrong? Did we wake you up just now? Haven't you slept enough? Do you want to sleep a little more?"
Hearing his words, Lin Wan shook her head, yawned and shuffled over to sit on the sofa. "Lu Yao and... your big brother left?"
"Yeah, they left." Lu Zhihang walked over, hugged her and tuned the TV to a variety show she liked.
Lin Wan watched for a few seconds, then took the remote control and tuned it to a TV series in which Lu Zhihang had starred. She found a comfortable position in Lu Zhihang's arms and watched it with great interest.
Lu Zhihang was a bit surprised. "Don't you like that variety show? I saw you watching it with gusto last time."
Lin Wan grunted and said lazily, "I don't like this episode."
Lu Zhihang was stunned for a moment. Then he suddenly remembered that he had participated in the previous episode of that variety show. At this thought, Lu Zhihang seemed to have discovered a huge secret. He almost laughed like a fool from being a first - tier star.
Lin Wan gave him a disdainful look and shifted her gaze to the TV series.
But Lu Zhihang was not being well - behaved. From time to time, he rubbed his chin against the top of Lin Wan's head, or poked her face with his finger, or even raised his hand to block her view.
Lin Wan dodged again and again. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and glared at him. "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
"… No." Lu Zhihang chuckled for a while and shook his head.
Lin Wan rolled her eyes and continued to focus on the TV. But Lu Zhihang harassed her again. After several times, Lin Wan got angry again. "Lu Zhihang, are you crazy today? What's wrong with you? Don't bother me while I'm watching TV!"
This time, Lu Zhihang was not going to let Lin Wan go easily. He started to ask questions tirelessly.
"Wanwan, last time... did you watch that variety show because of me?"
"No?"
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Really?"
"… Really?"
"Really?"
"…"
Lin Wan was silent for a long time. Finally, under Lu Zhihang's smiling and pressing gaze, she admitted impatiently, "Oh, it's fake, it's fake. Is that okay? It was because of you!"
"Then which one is more handsome, the me on TV or the real me?"
"…" Lin Wan stared at Lu Zhihang with a look as if he were crazy. Finally, she sighed, "The real one, the real one."
"Then why do you always watch the me on TV?" Lu Zhihang said with a smile and rubbed his face against Lin Wan's.
Lin Wan immediately rolled her eyes so hard that it was almost a crime. She felt so bad. She had actually been tricked by this bastard Lu Zhihang. It was really like what he said last night. He could even be jealous of himself when he was crazy. Isn't that right? He was jealous of even the himself on TV...
Lin Wan really couldn't stand Lu Zhihang anymore. Finally, she simply reached out and turned off the TV. Then she sat on the sofa, leaned against Lu Zhihang and started to daze.
The two were silent for a long time. The atmosphere in the living room gradually calmed down with the silence.
Lu Zhihang looked down at Lin Wan in his arms. After hesitating for a moment, he called out, "Wanwan?"
"… Yeah." Lin Wan didn't move and answered absent - mindedly.
"What are you thinking about?"
Hearing this, Lin Wan was stunned. She didn't say a word for a long time, and there was no change in her expression, as if she hadn't heard this question at all.
After a long while, Lin Wan seemed to suddenly wake up and said, "Nothing. Just some unimportant little things."
Lu Zhihang raised his eyebrows. In his eyes, Lin Wan's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her lips were pursed into a straight line. It seemed that what she was thinking about was not something that made her happy.
Suddenly, he didn't feel so good. He liked Lin Wan, all of her, the good and the bad, the happy and the unhappy. But so far, Lin Wan had never shared those bad things with him. It was as if there was always a transparent film between them.
"Wanwan."
"Yeah?"
"Why are you unhappy?" Lu Zhihang pursed his lips and asked.
Hearing this, Lin Wan was stunned. She slightly raised her eyes and met Lu Zhihang's cold gaze. For some reason, her heart skipped a beat when she saw those eyes, and she suddenly felt a little flustered.
She didn't expect Lu Zhihang to ask such a question, so she didn't know what to answer. And even if she had thought of something to say, she felt that she would forget those words when she saw these eyes.
The air was silent for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn. Lin Wan stared into his eyes for a while. Finally, she gave in and said softly, "When Lu Yao came yesterday, she didn't know I was Longyan Jixu."
Her beginning made Lu Zhihang a bit confused. He was a little stunned.
"She..." Lin Wan started but then paused. She frowned slightly as if thinking about how to phrase it. After a while, she said, "She probably thought I was some small star trying to ride on someone's coattails."
Hearing this, Lu Zhihang's eyebrows twitched. He looked at Lin Wan in surprise, and there was a faint guess in his heart.
"She said a little... well, not very friendly words." Lin Wan hesitated for a moment and said. Her gaze gradually became distant.
Lu Zhihang's expression darkened. He could already guess what that girl Lu Yao had said when she was unaware. Those words were so obvious that there was no need to even guess. Lu Zhihang immediately flew into a rage.
"Damn it! That girl dared to make trouble for me! I'll catch her and beat her up!" Lu Zhihang almost stood up instantly.
Lin Wan was startled. She quickly reached out and grabbed him, laughing and crying at the same time. "What are you doing? Listen to me first!"
