"It's not the first time Lu Feng is away from home and it's someone else's fault that my son doesn't want to come back." Su Hui replied as she looked at Jiang Yuyan to blame her for it.
Jiang Yuyan ignored Su Hui, but she thought to relieve elders from the worry. "Grandpa, Lu Feng is fine. He is just busy with a few things and he will be back home soon," Jiang Yuyan informed.
"Did you meet him?" Elder Lu asked.
Jiang Yuyan nodded, "Hmm, a few days back."
It angered Su Hui that Jiang Yuyan knew about her son, but being a mother; she knew nothing.
"Where did you meet him and how is he after what you did to him," Su Hui asked, she worried for her son but she didn't want to let go of any chance of blaming Jiang Yuyan.
"Aunt Su Hui should ask him personally." Saying, Jiang Yuyan looked at the elders as asking them permission to take a leave.
"Yoo must be tired, so go to your room," said grandma Zhao Shuang.
Jiang Yuyan intentionally didn't tell Su Hui as she knew Lu Feng was upset with his mother and she didn't want to meddle between them if this is how Lu Feng wanted to deal with his mother. Moreover, Su Hui needed to be punished for what she did with both of them.
Jiang Yuyan went upstairs but halted midway before going to Lu Lijun's room. She was worried about his wound, but at the same time, she was bothered by what he said earlier. She was hesitant about whether to go to him or not. Also, since that incident in the mall happened, Lu Lijun looked different and difficult to approach. When she was dealing with the dilemma, she heard a voice.
"What happened Yuyan?"
Jiang Yuyan looked at the person who just came out of the room. That was Ning Jiahui, who was not aware of what happened in the living room as she was in her room.
"Nothing mother. I was going to Lu Lijun but realized I have something to do," Jiang Yuyan replied.
"Do you need something, dear?"
"N-No. I think I forgot what I was up to?"
"Hmm! How was shopping?"
"It was good." Replying, Jiang Yuyan immediately changed the topic before her mother-in-law could enquire about more things. "Are you going somewhere, mother?"
Ning Jiahui nodded, "Going to the hospital to see your father."
Talking for a while Ning Jiahui said bye and turned to leave and Jiang Yuyan followed her to in the corridor.
Noticing it, Ning Jiahui turned back to look at her and asked, "Are you not going to Lu Lijun?"
Jiang Yuyan felt like getting caught and said, "I..thought to come downstairs to see you off, mother."
"No need. You must be tired so go back and rest," Ning Jiahui instructed.
For a month, Jiang Yuyan was staying in Lu Lijun's room, so his room became her room too as slowly all the things got transferred there. Lu Lian moved back to her room which was given to Jiang Yuyan for the time being but Jiang Yuyan never used it so Lu Lian got her room back.
Obeying to her mother-in-law, Jiang Yuyan went to Lu Lijun's room. She knocked on the door, but there was no reply. Entering the room, she saw there was no one.
Jiang Yuyan noticed the bathroom door was open. Hesitantly she stepped towards it and saw Lu Lijun was standing in front of the mirror of the bathroom and he was trying to clean his wound by observing it in the mirror.
With a tweezer holding a cotton boll soaked in disinfectant, he was trying to disinfect it first. Just as he touched it, he closed his eyes because of the sting he felt and didn't want to touch his wound again. Exhaling through his mouth, he tried to take the cotton swab closer to the wound, ready to feel the sting again.
Jiang Yuyan felt bad seeing it and knocked on the door. Hearing the knock, Lu Lijun looked at her and she offered, "Let me help you."
"No need." Saying it coldly, Lu Lijun pressed the cotton swap on his wound. It must have stung a lot, but he didn't react as if he felt nothing.
It shocked Jiang Yuyan as she saw his previous reaction when he first touched the cotton swab on the wound and how painful his expressions were, but now he did something apposite. Once again she felt strongly that he had changed.
She couldn't understand why he was like this and why he didn't want her to help him. Wasn't he the one who liked it when she did everything for him till now, but what had changed suddenly, she thought.
Though he said no, Jiang Yuyan still stepped inside the bathroom and went to him. "Let me do it or I won't talk to you."
Lu Lijun said nothing, and he didn't even look at her, but he put the tweezer in his hand down as he stood up silently. It was his approval for her to help him as her threat worked on him.
Lu Lijun was short in height so she needed to sit somewhere to look at his wound. Jiang Yuyan picked up the first aid box from the sink platform and held his hand to take him out of the bathroom. She sat on the couch and kept the first aid box in the center.
"Sit here," Jiang Yuyan instructed as she signaled him to sit on the centre table. Lu Lijun did what she asked him to.
Jiang Yuyan didn't get the chance to check his wound as Lu Lijun didn't let her but she was sure An Tian must have checked it and if he said it was not serious so there was nothing to worry about.
The wound was cleaned already but there were still traces of blood already, so Jiang Yuyan held one cotton swab to clean it.
