“It’s uncomfortable to wear wet shoes. Take them off,” Jiang Yanzhou suggested.
“That’s not necessary. My shoes always get wet on rainy days. I’m used to it,” Lu Yang replied.
Jiang Yanzhou lifted his chin and looked up at her for a moment. His calm eyes flickered slightly. “I understand. Lift your foot.”
Seeing his persistence, Lu Yang reluctantly lifted her foot and took off one shoe. She realized a problem. “If I don’t wear this, what should I wear? Do I go barefoot?”
“Yeah. Barefoot,” Jiang Yanzhou said.
“Huh?”
Jiang Yanzhou cupped her foot in his palm and placed it on his knee. “Step carefully. Don’t slip.”
After saying that, he took off his expensive coat and laid it on the ground. He moved her foot onto the comfortable fabric of the coat.
Then he lowered his head and slowly took off her other shoe.
From Lu Yang’s perspective, she could only see his black short hair.
Before long, both shoes along with the socks were taken off.
Lu Yang looked down at her feet, and her toes wiggled nervously. She had never taken off her shoes in public before, let alone go barefoot.
Jiang Yanzhou turned around, half-squatting with his sturdy back facing her. He gestured backward with his hand. “Get on. Let’s go home.”
Lu Yang wanted to refuse, but she couldn’t find a reason.
She climbed onto his back, her arms wrapped around his neck. In a place he couldn’t see, her cheeks blushed.
They say things happen three times, and within a day, they had three intimate encounters.
Not far away, in the car, Su Yiran watched the scene, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
Jiang Yanzhou appeared polite and gentle, but deep down, he was surprisingly aloof and indifferent. He had never kneeled before anyone, but now, Lu Yang asked him to squat, and he did it without hesitation.
A man with cleanliness issues knelt on the ground and let her step on his custom-made coat.
“Sister Ruzi, it seems like your younger brother is falling for her?” Su Yiran turned her head and looked at the drunk Jiang Ruzi with closed eyes.
“It’s not…” Jiang Ruzi began to say but stopped.
Lu Yang drifted in and out of sleep, her consciousness hazy. Memories flashed through her mind a bit too quickly.
On New Year’s Day one year, Jiang Yanzhou invited her to watch a movie. He appeared in front of her holding a bouquet of fragrant yellow roses.
She had been listening to a song recently recommended by Lu Mingyu,
“Yellow,” and he gave her yellow roses.
She had thought of him as a friend, merely knowing that he was involved in a project with the Huai City Medical Group. As the mayor, Jiang Xi’s position was difficult to approach, but Jiang Yanzhou had come to her on his own.
Originally, she hadn’t thought of any further development between them. However, as they spent more time together, she realized that he wasn’t like how others perceived him.
He willingly shared things beyond her horizon, not to show off or gain favor, but simply because it was natural for him to tell her.
Recently, Lu Yang had been frequently dreaming about Lu Mingyu getting trouble. Each night, she woke up from nightmares, and Jiang Yanzhou hac given her a purple skull bracelet made of night-colored material.
She asked him, “How did you know that I haven’t been sleeping well lately.
He replied, “I’m someone who pays attention to details.” “I pay special attention to people I like.”
Car horns from outside drowned out the rest of his sentence.
Lu Yang had always believed that their relationship was purely intellectual, without any hint of romantic feelings. But that’s how she saw it; he didn’t. When adults are involved in a relationship, if someone takes the first step, it either starts or ends.
Lu Yang didn’t know when Jiang Yanzhou’s feelings for her had changed, but by the time she realized it, she found herself already entangled.
She had manipulated him, step by step, to make him willingly accept her as a friend, but he wanted to take it further.
On a rainy night after leaving the cinema, Lu Yang held a sugar-coated hawthorn stick in her hand. Stepping on the stairs, she absentmindedly tripped, but Jiang Yanzhou reacted quickly and steadied her.
His gaze fell on her lips, which had a bit of sugar residue. He raised his hand and gently wiped it away. The emotions in his eyes were straightforward and intense, and his warm fingertips landed on her lips, evoking an indescribable sensation that made her heart tremble involuntarily.
The damp ambiguity silently fermented and spread, only to be captured within an impenetrable net, tightly wrapping around them.
With the other person’s consent, Lu Yang was always willing to do whatever she desired. Coupled with the tall and sturdy body of the man shielding her from the cold wind, she acted on impulse, raised her tiptoes, and kissed him. He kissed her back. The first kiss of both individuals was intertwined in the false night rain.
Since that moment, Jiang Yanzhou noticed that Lu Yang was avoiding him for the next week.
Su Yiran, as Sheng Yu’s friend, played a role in their connection. Along with Ye Cixing’s simple matchmaking, and the fact that Lu Yang had a brief encounter with Su Yiran before..
