nSu Jianan was so itch to try when just imagining what Lu Boyan was going to look like.

nShe was excited to bring a wooden comb, walked back and forth and looked at Lu Boyan up and down like she was a professional stylist. Lu Boyan probably was dizzied, thus he frowned with discontent. Su Jianan suddenly pressed him on the shoulder. “Don’t move, your hair is a bit messy.”

nLu Boyan stopped moving since he was a person who paid great attention to the external image. Su Jianan smiled and combed his hair back.

n“Don’t move.” She treated him like a child. “It will be very soon.”

nShe didn’t dare to use hair gel to fix it, but only combed it back softly. It was indeed fast, and it didn’t take a minute to make his hair slicked back.

nSu Jianan couldn’t wait to take a look at Lu Boyan, but she just sighed with disappointment in the end.

nGenerally speaking, such hairstyle didn’t fit most of people but only for those who were mature and confident. Besides, if they had no elegant temperament like yuppies, nor formal wear and long trench coat of Xu Wenqiang’s, it was still difficult for them to embody that peculiar air of romantic and confidence.

nHowever, god was always partial, so that a certain kind of people could easily fit into every single hairstyle, such as Lu Boyan.

nSu Jianan intended to make Lu Boyan look bad. But with this hairstyle, he radiated a mysterious charm while he slightly smiled.

nShe was infatuated and suddenly distracted.

nAfter a while, Su Jianan coughed a bit.“Wait a minute, I will go get a mirror for you.”

nShe fetched a small mirror with enthusiasm and put it in front of Lu Boyan with a smile. “Take a look, can you recognize this man in the mirror? What’s his name?”

nLu Boyan squinted and suddenly pulled Su Jianan by grabbing her hand. She didn’t even have the time to ask him what he was going to do, and she was already thrown into the bed by him.

nShe found his black hair, which looked messy and wild, spread out, and his eyes gleamed with danger.

nSu Jianan suddenly thought of the handsome but wild man in the jungle.

nShe was scared to cry. “Hey, I was wrong···”

nHow dare she molested Lu Boyan!

nHowever, Lu Boyan still pressed her under his body, instead of letting her go.

nSu Jianan goggled. “You··· you get up! It’s rude to press people like this!”

nLu Boyan slightly smiled and touched her lips with his long fingers. “What should I do? I want to do something ruder.”

nSu Jianan’s brain went blank, and the next second her lips were forcibly occupied by Lu Boyan.

nHis movements were neither gentle nor eager. He just kissed more seriously than he had ever kissed before. He tasted her lips carefully, like eating the long-awaited delicacies.

nSu Jianan blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes swept on Lu Boyan, which made him stop to kiss her eyes. Su Jianan subconsciously closed them, and Lu Boyan made a satisfactory chuckle. “There you go, close your eyes.”

nThere must be alcohol in his voice, otherwise, how could she be fascinated?

nSu Jianan then unconsciously put her hands on Lu Boyan’s neck and slowly loosened her teeth.

nLu Boyan’s well-defined hand gently stroked her cheeks and contours and skillfully touched every part of her face. After a while, he spread his passionate kiss to her collarbone along her neck.

nSu Jianan slightly gasped, and suddenly came to reason.

nHey, obviously it was her that wanted to make fun of Lu Boyan, how come it was him taking advantage of her!

n“Psst—”

nLu Boyan unzipped her dress.

nShe was in a sudden stiff, and subconsciously grasped Lu Boyan’s hand. “Lu, Lu Boyan··· I, I want to take a shower.”

nShe understood that she could not refuse him since he was in a state between drunk and sober, thus he might force her or let her go.

nTherefore finding an excuse to leave was the best way.

nLu Boyan looked at her with suspicion, which made Su Jianan’s heart beat like a drum, but fortunately, Lu Boyan finally got up. “Go.”

nSu Jianan took the dress and went out like it was an amnesty, but she was stopped by Lu Boyan in two steps. “Jianan.” He pointed in the direction of the bathroom. “The bathroom is there, where are you going?”

n“I···” Su Jianan turned back and bit her lips—she certainly wanted to go back to her room!

n“You want to leave?” Lu Boyan squinted and said with a dangerous tone.

nSu Jianan thought for a moment and shook her head. “No, I··· I just went in the wrong direction.”

nShe smiled reluctantly and went back to the bathroom. Lu Boyan called her again. “What about your pajamas?”

nShe then went to the cloakroom and took out a set of pajamas, which was immediately thrown into the trash can by Lu Boyan because he thought it was cheesy. Su Jianan goggled. “Lu Boyan, what are you doing! What am I supposed to wear if you throw it away?”

nLu Boyan smiled and rubbed her face. “Then don’t wear it.”

nSu Jianan’s cheeks turned red. “Rogue!”

nFortunately, Lu Boyan didn’t mean what he said. He took her into the cloakroom and looked at the empty wardrobe on the other side. “Why do you have so few clothes?”

nSu Jianan noticed that Lu Boyan had forgotten that they were living separately, so she intentionally teased him and made an unpleasant noise. “Isn’t it because you don’t want to buy it for me?!”

nLu Boyan slightly frowned, and he could not believe that he was so stingy. He then passed his shirt to Su Jianan. “Don’t be angry. Tomorrow is the weekend, let’s go shopping and fill the entire cloakroom. As soon as there are new arrivals of the brands you like, you ask them to send here and try them on, okay?”

nHuh? It turned out that he was so easy to be deceived while being drunk.

nSu Jianan wanted to take the opportunity to trick him again, but Lu Boyan had pulled her out of the cloakroom. “Go shower, I’ll wait for you.”

nThe last four words stiffened Su Jianan’s scalp, and she swallowed a little. “I have to take a long bath. You can sleep first, don’t need to wait for me.”

nShe entered the bathroom and took off the tiring high heels at the door. she soaked herself into the bathtub and finally let out a sigh of relief.

nShe had never coped with so many people in her life like tonight. Whilst Lu Boyan was still drunk like a child···

nBut it was undeniable that his childishness was much more lovely than usual because he often scolded her in addition to threatening her.

nAfter soaking for half an hour, Su Jianan estimated that Lu Boyan should fall asleep, so she put on his shirt and sneaked out. Sure enough, Lu Boyan was lying in bed, and he should have been asleep.

nShe walked very lightly towards the door with almost no sound.

nSu Jianan thought that she finally escaped when her hand touched the doorknob, however—

n“Where are you going?”

nLu Boyan said with a low voice from behind. She turned around and looked at him, who had already sat up. He squinted her, which made her terrified.

n“I···” she faltered for a while and finally came up with an excuse, “I want a glass of water downstairs.”

nLu Boyan frowned even more. “There is water in the room.”

n“Oh, how did I forget?”

nSu Jianan had to pretend to be annoyed to let go of the doorknob, walked back and poured a glass of water to drink. She also asked Lu Boyan. “Do you want it?”

nHe didn’t say anything, thus she put down the glass and went over. “Go to sleep.”

n“Do you want to leave?” Lu Boyan suddenly asked.

nNot only the back ridge, but also Su Jianan’s soles turned cold. She was wondering if Lu Boyan was angry, so she went over and hugged him. “No. We are home now, where can I go?”

nAfter a moment of silence, Lu Boyan reached out and held Su Jianan. “Don’t leave.”

n“I won’t go,” Su Jianan said firmly, “I promise, I won’t go. Can we go to sleep now?”

nShe pulled the quilt and lay down. Lu Boyan looked at her for a moment and lay next to her. He then quickly held her into his arms, as if it were the only way to make him feel relieved.

nSu Jianan did not struggle, and Lu Boyan did not make other moves, which made her feel slightly secure. She then found a comfortable posture in Lu Boyan’s arms. “I’m sleepy, good night.”

nWhatever, no matter whether Lu Boyan was drunk or anything else, if he wanted her to stay, then she would stay.

nBecause after he woke up, everything would come back to normal.

nSu Jianan fell asleep in a few minutes. She had no idea how long she had slept, but suddenly was waken up because of a strange movement around her.

n“Dad··· Dad···”

nSu Jianan went wide awake from drowsiness after she vaguely heard Lu Boyan’s panicky voice. She opened her eyes, only to find that Lu Boyan had been holding her so tightly that she could barely breathe.

nThrough the dim light, she saw that Lu Boyan had slightly sweated on his forehead.

nDid··· he have a nightmare?

n“Lu Boyan,” Su Jianan wiped his sweat from his forehead with her hand, “Lu Boyan, wake up.”

nLu Boyan kept frowning during his sleep, and there was no sign of him waking up. Su Jianan had to hug him. “Lu Boyan, what did you dream of?”

nIf she didn’t mishear, Lu Boyan was calling his father.

nA dozen years ago, Lu Boyan’s father was the most prestigious lawyer in the judicial profession. However, he died on the spot in a car accident when Lu Boyan was 16.

nIt was all what Su Jianan knew, which was told by her mother. She also remembered that her mother mentioned that the big brother’s father had passed away, which left him in a bad mood, thus she was going to cheer him up.

nBut why did Tang Yulan and Lu Boyan move to her grandmother’s old house after his father died, and why did they go abroad in such a hurry?

nSu Jianan was too young to tell that there were so many things that didn’t make sense. Now thought about it, she realized that everything was totally unreasonable.

nHowever, the accident back then must traumatize him so hard that he was still haunted by the nightmare till now, Su Jianan thought.

nShe could only hold him tightly. “Lu Boyan, it’s all over. It’s all over for a long time.”

nLu Boyan was still asleep, whilst he started to loosen her up bit by bit as if he had heard what Su Jianan just said. Though his body was no longer tense, Su Jianan still held him tightly and looked at his face under the dim yellow light.

nThere was never any expression on this face, and he always stayed calm and collected no matter what he was doing. Su Jianan thought that he was psychologically strong, but she had never thought about what had led him to become a man like this.

nShe was aware that they had a similar experience, and they both had lost their loved ones when they were just fifteen or sixteen.

nAnd she knew how painful it was. But she did not turn out to be as cold and unpredictable as Lu Boyan, who dominated business in the mall and was awed and respected by most of the people. She was just a medical examiner.

nSu Jianan thought that it might result from the fact that he had experienced something crueler than her, so he could only try his best to stand on the top of the world and prevent the tragedy from repeating itself.

nSu Jianan stroked his face with her slender fingers and found that he gradually stopped sweating. Su Jianan suddenly recalled that she always hid in Lu Boyan’s arms when she had nightmares.

nSure enough, there was no free lunch in the world. So tonight, it might be good to make a change.
