As the distance suddenly closed, Jiang Mian stared blankly at the hint of mockery hidden in the man's eyes.

Jiang Mian gently bit her lip.

Having lived two lifetimes, it seems I've rarely seen Lu Bozhou's expression when he's joking.

So that's what it looks like.

It's as if his original mature and handsome appearance has been tinged with a touch of youthful spirit.

He seemed more lively than his usual expressionless and aloof demeanor.

Jiang Mian paused for a few seconds.

A few seconds later, the man's thin lips parted slightly, and he uttered a single syllable, "Ah."

It's a very perfunctory syllable. It feels completely devoid of emotion, more like some kind of prompt?

what?

Jiang Mian blinked, initially not quite understanding. But the next second, she quickly straightened up.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Jiang Mian finally realized that he had been supporting her body to keep her from losing her balance as she lunged forward!

But he's still injured!

"Are you alright?" Jiang Mian glanced nervously at his shoulders, back, and waist.

If the timing hadn't been so inappropriate, she probably would have pulled open his clothes to look at him!

Lu Bozhou waved his hand and walked inside, then reached up to unbutton his shirt.

He suddenly stopped halfway through taking off his clothes.

"Jiang Mian," he called her name, "come and help me."

Jiang Mian quickly went over and helped him take off his shirt, then stared at his injury.

"That's why I said one bed isn't enough."

Jiang Mian sighed, "In your condition, if I don't sleep soundly at night, you'll end up in the hospital again."

"It doesn't matter." Lu Bozhou said nonchalantly, showing off his muscular chest as he walked into the bathroom.

After a moment's pause, Jiang Mian suddenly realized that he might want to take a shower.

She jumped up and rushed into the bathroom.

In the bathroom, the man had his hand on his waistband and looked at her.

Jiang Mian looked a little embarrassed and raised her hands. "I was worried you wouldn't listen to the doctor's advice and would want to take a shower. It's alright, it's alright."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely ask you to help me take a shower." Lu Bozhou glanced down at his waistband.

He raised his long, beautiful eyes to look at her again, his gaze lazy and casual, with the same playful glint in them as before.

"Or are you saying you're even willing to help me with this?"

"Sorry to bother you." Jiang Mian quickly left the bathroom.

They even closed the door very carefully.

She breathed a long sigh of relief; she had drunk a little bit of liquor, and alcohol really does embolden even the most timid.

They're different; they even dared to barge into Lu Bozhou's bathroom.

That's interesting. If he drinks some more, maybe he can just rape her?

Perhaps it was the alcohol making her dizzy, but she herself was amused by her own thoughts.

Jiang Mian walked onto the balcony, where she could overlook the city's night view.

The dazzling lights flowed like a galaxy through the city's nightscape.

The cool night breeze helped Jiang Mian regain some of her senses.

She bit her lip and pondered for a moment before finally taking out her phone and dialing Gong Yan's number.

Gong Yan: "What?"

"Do you remember the dream I told you on my birthday before?" Jiang Mian asked.

Gong Yan chuckled lightly, "Dreams? That's more like wishful thinking!"

Jiang Mian smiled, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Those words, did you tell... anyone else?" She bit her lip.

Gong Yan paused on the other end, "No, why do you ask? Do you expect me to amplify your sleep-talking?"

Jiang Mian smiled and said, "No, I was just asking. Okay, I won't disturb your work anymore. Let's have dinner together another day."

"Okay," Gong Yan replied and hung up the phone. There was no trace of the smile she had shown when speaking to Jiang Mian on her face.

Gong Yan had never told anyone the 'dreams' that Jiang Mian had told her back then.

She didn't intend to promote Jiang Mian's dream talk; she simply treasured it, making it part of her memories of her dear friend.

And even Jiang Mian might not know that Gong Yan recorded a video when she celebrated her birthday.

Originally, I just wanted to try out the effects of a new action camera that can shoot from a fixed point.

Fortunately, they were all recorded.

After Jiang Mian passed away, it is unknown how much time had passed.

It shouldn't have been long, but for Gong Yan, it was the most difficult time, and it felt like each day was an eternity.

Then that damn man showed up at our door.

Ask Gong Yan for that video recording.

Gong Yan didn't even know how he knew about the existence of that video.

Gong Yan initially disagreed and didn't bother with him.

But this man... was insane! And his insanity was particularly severe and obvious at that time!

He's incredibly stubborn; you can't argue with him at all.

After being stubborn for a while, Gong Yan suddenly understood something.

Yes, why should only she be sad? Since this damned beast is also sad because of these things, and even more sad because of this video...

Why not do it?

So Gong Yan copied the video and gave it to him.

Later, Gong Yan heard that Ding Sheng had won a bid for a piece of land.

Located on a hillside in the suburbs, it seems to be planned as a resort project.

The project was eventually completed, but it has never been opened for business.

Gong Yan had driven to see it a few times, and after seeing it with her own eyes, she knew that the man was indeed a madman.

Moreover, he doesn't seem to have any intention of opening for business at all; he just leaves it empty and doesn't receive anyone.

And Jiang Mian just asked her this on the phone...

Gong Yan wondered if it was because Lu Bozhou had actually taken her there.

Why? Could it be... that man recognized her?

Gong Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried, but also secretly pleased.

Yes, even if he recognizes it, what can he do?

……

Jiang Mian had drunk some alcohol, so she fell asleep quickly after taking a bath.

She didn't even have time to dwell on the fact that she was sleeping in the same bed as Lu Bozhou.

Perhaps there's nothing to be conflicted about, mainly because we've shared a bed quite a bit.

It would be a bit pretentious to dwell on this now.

She fell into a deep sleep, completely unaware that a pair of eyes opened in the darkness and, by the faint moonlight from the window, gazed upon her face.

She would never know that someone would find it hard to sleep tonight because of her presence.

The next morning, Song Xun came to pick them up, originally thinking he was going to accompany Lu Bozhou back to the hospital.

But the car drove straight back to the mansion.

"Aren't you going to the hospital?" Jiang Mian asked.

“Yes, Madam, due to some circumstances, I need to return to the mansion first,” Song Xun replied.

Upon hearing Song Xun's words, Jiang Mian blinked, suddenly realized what he meant, and her expression changed instantly.

"What's wrong with Little Stone?" Jiang Mian asked anxiously.

What could possibly happen at the mansion? Only her son is there!

Song Xun knew that his words had made Jiang Mian nervous.

Lu Bozhou, sitting in the back seat, remained calm and nonchalant, but then he heard the urgency in Jiang Mian's voice.

He raised his eyelids and looked at Song Xun in the passenger seat. "She's incredibly timid. Why did you scare her?"

For some reason, Jiang Mian stopped being nervous. "Qiqi is here to ask for votes and favorites! It's September, and we really need everyone's support! Today's song is 'Gravity'."
