Chapter 64: Entering Autumn
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The temperature had dropped quite a bit, and the twenty-four or twenty-five degrees Celsius weather finally allowed her to put on thin autumn clothes. Jin Nian had bought a bunch of new clothes before the change of season. One of the main reasons why she did not want to live at home was that if Teacher Tan found out that she was buying all kinds of things and clothes online every day, she would never hear the end of it.
Jin Nian thought Lu An was still in the other room. She changed her clothes and walked out of the bedroom, but she saw that the room opposite was open. She tossed and turned the entire night because of his existence. She was even struggling to figure out how to face Lu An in the morning. She did not expect him to have left long ago. Jin Nian heaved a sigh of relief, but her heart felt empty.
His skincare products and razor were placed on the counter in the bathroom. The slippers that he had worn last night were neatly placed at the entrance. The traces of a man’s presence were obvious. She did not know when Lu An left, but he left a note on the coffee table saying that he was going to the neighboring city and would be back tonight.
Lu An’s handwriting showed the same vibe as himself, loose but flamboyant. Jin Nian remembered that when she practiced calligraphy with him when they were young, the teacher who taught them often said that the handwriting was like the person. However, this sentence did not work on Lu An. He was gifted and could copy words that could confuse even experts.
At that time, the two of them had studied painting and calligraphy together. The teacher often praised Lu An as a smart person who could understand everything with just a hint. Unlike Jin Nian, who was diligent in her studies, Lu An was quite talented. However, his ambitions were not here. He could not stand loneliness and did not like to sit in the same place for hours without moving his butt. He loved all the invigorating activities, such as snowboarding, sailing, hiking, and parachuting. In any case, he would do anything that was exciting, and his legs had suffered many injuries because of that.
Most of the time when Jin Nian turned around, she realized that Lu An had already ran away. He ran off outside to play basketball with a group of young men, sweating like rain under the scorching sun.
When Jin Nian was having breakfast, she wanted to take out her phone and send Lu An a message, telling him that she had not gotten used to their relationship yet and that he should not come back for the time being. She drafted up her message in fear then deleted it. It was better not to make the other party angry.
Her car had been sent to a 4S shop, so she had to take the subway to work today. The company was not far from her home, and the subway was crowded during the morning rush hour. Jin Nian was squeezed so tightly that she could barely breathe and could not even stand properly. She began to regret it, if she had known earlier, she would have called a taxi. Then, she suddenly thought, if Young Master Lu squeezed into the subway, would he explode on the spot?
She still remembered that one year, Lu An had a conflict with his mother. Xie He had froze his supplementary card, so he could only stay at Jin Nian’s house. The usually arrogant and domineering Lu An had been behaving himself for a period of time. However, no matter what he did, he looked half-dead. He was not interested in anything. It was not because he lacked money. Although he was used to spending money extravagantly, it was not like he could not live without money. It was just that he had to change his way of life. Young Master Lu, who used to have a chauffeur to pick him up wherever he went, had no choice but to squeeze into the subway with the others to go to school. He was like a demoted crown prince, experiencing the hardships of ordinary people.
Of course, Lu An was not a pretentious person. In fact, he adapted to any environment very quickly. He did not mind squeezing on the subway. A group of buddies who were on good terms with him accompanied him on the subway. The group of people could still talk and laugh in the subway. Occasionally, they would save innocent passengers who were bullied by the villain.
Jin Nian remembered very clearly that there was a young girl on the subway who was being secretly photographed under her skirt by a perverted man. Lu An had went up and twisted the man’s hand behind his back. His friends were not easy-going either. They rushed up and pressed the perverted man on the seat. He wanted the railway police to come over and take him away, delete all the photos that were secretly taken, and apologize to the little girl.
Lu An’s methods were the worst. Before the railway police arrived, he stepped on the wretched man’s hand as if he was crushing an ant. He looked down at the man with an arrogant expression: “It was this hand that secretly took the photos, right?”
Jin Nian was also on the subway at that time. She was shocked by him, but at the same time, she felt that the man deserved it. On the same day, on the way back from school, Lu An suddenly asked her in a low voice, “Jin Nian, there are mothers who don’t like their children in this world, right?”
Jin Nian remembered clearly that Lu An had not spoken a word to Xie He for six months. Jin Nian did not know how to comfort people. The only thing she could do was to try her best to make Lu An happy, just like how Lu An had coaxed her before..
