Moonlight falls into my arms

Jiang Yuci led the person back to the lounge, saying, "I have surgery this afternoon..."

"Okay, leave the phone behind." Ruan Li skillfully plugged in the charger and lay down on the sofa to play with Jiang Yuci's phone.

Jiang Yuci glanced at her and added, "It's probably getting late, you can go home by yourself."

Ruan Li smiled at him, "No way, I want to stay here and hitch a ride for free."

"..."

Ruan Li was playing a game when a message suddenly popped up on the screen.

Jiang Yan replied: Brother, Mom said we should have dinner together tomorrow night.

Ruan Li paused as she looked at the line of text.

Jiang Yanhui is actually Jiang Yuci's younger brother; the two seem to be irreconcilable enemies.

"Did you send your brain to the recycling center?" came the big shot's click from the microphone.

"How strange," Ruan Li muttered.

"It's quite strange to like feeding kills to the opponent."

Ruan Li: "......"

Jiang Yuci finished her surgery at 10 p.m.

Pushing open the door to the lounge, I found myself in complete darkness, illuminated only by the light of a mobile phone screen.

The curtains in the lounge were not closed and were rustling in the wind.

Jiang Yuci walked over, not even realizing that his footsteps were deliberately made very soft.

The person lying on the sofa was snoring softly, and the moonlight poured down, quietly bathing her sleeping face.

Jiang Yuci stared at the phone in her hand, which was automatically playing a TV series.

Looking closely at the screen, it's a very old fantasy drama.

Jiang Yuci doesn't like watching TV dramas. Back then, he learned a little about them by 'accidentally' passing by Ruan Li and 'accidentally' overhearing Ruan Li mention them.

He took the phone away and turned off the screen, and the room immediately became quiet.

The lights were on, and the person lying on the sofa unconsciously frowned.

Jiang Yuci could also see her flushed face from sleeping. It's easy to catch a cold when sleeping in winter, and there was a draft blowing from the window next to her.

I reckon she'll have a sore throat and stuffy nose again when she wakes up, just like last time.

Jiang Yu calmly woke the person up.

Ruan Li rubbed her eyes and was still yawning. "You're finally off work. You can go home now..."

With a hoarse voice, Ruan Li stood up from the sofa with her eyes half-closed.

The back of his hand was still covering his eyes, as if he was not used to the sudden bright light.

Jiang Yuci's mind was still replaying her words, "You can go home now."

There's a feeling I can't quite explain.

Jiang Yuci, who originally didn't want to care whether it was a cold or something else, still made her some cold medicine.

Ruan Li covered the scalding paper cup in her palm as she followed behind Jiang Yuci.

The two walked one after the other in the hospital corridor.

Ruan Li suddenly ran forward a few steps and pointed to the mural hanging on the wall, "Jiang Yuci, look! Doesn't the ginseng in the painting look like a lewd old man? Haha, hunched over, squinting at you with his little eyes."

Jiang Yuci had never paid attention to these things before. After glancing at them, she realized they did indeed resemble what she had described.

"Oh, Jiang Yuci." Ruan Li vaguely remembered the message his brother had sent.

"Ah."

Ruan Li walked up to him and said, "Your brother messaged you today to ask you to have dinner together. I didn't mean to see your messages; they popped up on their own."

Jiang Yuci stared at her slightly sweaty forehead and hummed in agreement.

Ruan Li stood next to him and walked side by side with him. "Then I'll just cook noodles at home for myself tomorrow night. I haven't finished using the groceries you bought."

"I won't go."

Ruan Li paused in her act of drinking medicine, looked up at him, and met Jiang Yuci's gaze.

Hot steam rose continuously from the cup, creating a soft, moist mist in front of her eyes.

Jiang Yuci glanced at the zipper of her down jacket, which she had unzipped at some point. "I'll be off work very late tomorrow, so you'll have to cook noodles at home by yourself."

Ruan Li mumbled a couple of random "uh-huhs," finished the drink in one gulp, and tossed the paper cup into the trash can next to the stairwell.

After walking down the long hospital corridor, Jiang Yuci pressed the elevator button.

As soon as the two entered the elevator, the elevator doors were halfway closed when a hand suddenly reached in but was blocked by someone.

Ruan Li was startled by the hand that suddenly reached in, took a step back, bumped into Jiang Yuci's chest, and felt a clean, slender hand on her shoulder.

Once the person was calmed down, the hand was quickly withdrawn.

The person who came in was Jiang Yanhui.

Ruan Li subconsciously looked at Jiang Yuci's expression.

Upon hearing that Jiang Yuci was unwilling to eat with his family, Ruan Li guessed that his relationship with his family was probably not good, and his relationship with his younger brother was even more like... enemies.

The three of them stood in the elevator, and Ruan Li felt the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Jiang Yan stared into the air, her tone cold:

"Why isn't he replying to my WeChat messages?"

Ruan Li nervously rubbed her sleeves.

She looked up at Jiang Yuci and said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally killed your phone battery."

Jiang Yanhui didn't say anything, but stared at Ruan Li for several moments, seemingly wondering if Jiang Yuci would let someone else play with his phone.

With a ding, the elevator doors opened, and the two groups of people silently exited.

Ruan Li followed behind Jiang Yuci, glanced at Jiang Yanhui to the side, and whispered to Jiang Yuci, "Didn't I also help you out of that predicament?"

Jiang Yuci distanced himself from her and opened the car door: "There's no need to explain to him."

Ruan Li walked around to the other side, opened the passenger door and got in. "Jiang Yanhui is your brother, don't the people at the hospital know that?"

"Don't tell anyone."

Ruan Li propped her chin on her hand, staring at Jiang Yuci's cold profile. "But you two are nothing alike. You're more handsome than him, your voice is nicer, and your personality is better too."

Ruan Li is still a little angry when she thinks about how Jiang Yanhui would have attacked Jiang Yuci if she hadn't pushed him away last time.

Anyone who dares to harm her benefactor is harming her!

Jiang Yu paused in silence, his hands stopping moving.

Perhaps he was used to hearing people around him say that he was aloof and not as nice as Jiang Yanhui, so when someone suddenly said that he was very nice, he felt uncomfortable. Or perhaps it was just because she looked like Ruan Li, which gave Jiang Yuci a strange feeling of being praised by Ruan Li.

"Sit tight, buckle up." Jiang Yuci ignored her.

If she was sent by them, how could she not know Jiang Yanhui?

Jiang Yuci glanced sideways at the person fastening her seatbelt with her head down. Her hair was a little messy from sleeping, and a few strands of hair on her forehead were still damp.

She seemed to have thought of something again, and suddenly her eyes lit up as she looked at Jiang Yuci.

Jiang Yuci turned his head slightly, started the engine, and drove the car out of the underground parking garage.

The little girl next to me started chattering about the TV shows she watched today.

"I used to watch it on TV every night. I never imagined it would end and even have a second season. Jiang Yuci, tell me quickly, did the male and female leads end up together in the finale?"

Ruan Licai shook her head immediately after saying the previous sentence: "Never mind, never mind, let's not spoil it. I'll watch it myself tomorrow."

Thinking about tomorrow, Ruan Li's head started to ache again. "Can't you really lend me 668?"

"To lend it to you to scam people?"

Ruan Li lowered her head: "I... I had no choice. If you won't lend me the money, I can still earn it by handing out flyers for a few days, hmph."

"Handing out flyers?" Jiang Yuci didn't know why, perhaps influenced by her relaxed and casual tone, but he actually teased her for the first time.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his thin lips.

Unfortunately, Ruan Li was playing with her nails and didn't notice.

She was a little nervous and swallowed. "I just said it offhand. I've never handed out flyers before."

She quickly changed the subject: "Do you have nail clippers? I need to have my fingernails clipped."

"We have some at home." Jiang Yuci's indifferent words had barely left his mouth when that familiar feeling of being touched resurfaced.

It was as if she really was Ruan Li, and the home was a home for both of them.

Jiang Yuci tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

No, calm down.

For the second half of the journey, Ruan Li became puzzled again. For some reason, she clearly felt that Jiang Yuci was deliberately ignoring her again.

He only asked Ruan Li to zip up his down jacket when he got off the bus.

As soon as Ruan Li got out of the car, the snow and wind stung her face, and she finally understood Jiang Yuci's good intentions.

"You may seem cold, but you're actually quite warm."

Receiving no response, Ruan Li poked the back of his drooping hand.

Jiang Yuci's skin was pale and cold, and the veins on the back of his hands were slightly bulging. When you poked them, they had a soft, bouncy feel.

Ruan Li found it amusing and poked it again.

Jiang Yuci stopped him with a single look.

Ruan Li shrank back: "Jiang Yuci, just now in the car... what did I do to upset you again?"

"No."

Ruan Li stood in front of him, looked up and stared directly at him: "Have you always been this taciturn? How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me? Are you just going to put up with me making you unhappy every day?"

Jiang Yuci was clearly taken aback, seemingly not expecting anyone to so directly and unabashedly remove the mask of adulthood.

Generally speaking, if you say you didn't, even if the other party knows the truth, they should just give a few perfunctory replies and not ask any further questions.

Isn't this the world's unspoken rule?

"Jiang Yuci? You really won't tell me? I'm in a good mood now. If you point out my flaws, I might consider changing them. But if you tell me when I'm in a bad mood, I'll be annoyed."

Even after Jiang Yuci entered the door with the password, Ruan Li still couldn't find out what was making Jiang Yuci unhappy.

And what caused this sudden neglect of myself?

She shrugged and said, "Fine, I'll give you a special privilege."

Jiang Yuci placed the car keys on the entryway cabinet and glanced at her casually.

Ruan Li snapped her fingers in front of him, causing his eyelashes to flutter.

Her tone was smiling, with a hint of doting: "This is a special gift for you. As long as Jiang Yuci points out Ruan Li's shortcomings, Ruan Li will definitely change! Only one, okay?"

"Oh." Jiang Yuci turned his back to her and walked into the house, his tone casual: "Talk less."

Ruan Li said very seriously, "...I'm sorry, this is my strength."

Jiang Yu resigned: "..."
