Lu Juyan abruptly stood up before the manager could finish his apology and quickly rushed out. The three words, Du Liqing, continuously echoed in his mind. His mind was filled with the grievances she had suffered in her current situation, and his heart couldn't help but throb in pain.

His silence continued to grow, but he was afraid that Du Liqing would disappear once again. He didn't know why he was so excited, but his heart wanted to get closer to Du Liqing.

"Tsk, what's going on?" Zhan Ziye, who was sitting to the side, watched as Lu Juyan ignored his image and left. His heart was filled with incomparable suspicion and curiosity. He looked at Lu Juyan's back, not knowing the truth and followed him subconsciously.

He ignored the manager who was apologizing on the spot and at the same time forgot his purpose in coming here. He only subconsciously explored the reason why Lu Juyan had run away.

Du Yanqing, who was chased out by the manager, didn't know what to do as he walked on the main street. He was extremely excited. The cold wind continued to blow, gradually calming her down.

Unconsciously, Du Liqing walked to the side of the park and looked at the bench not far away. The fatigue between her legs made her unconsciously sit down. Gradually, she calmed her breathing. The feeling of being wronged unconsciously surged out from her heart. Sitting on a tree and blocking the light from the enemy caused her sorrowful mood to spread very quickly.

Lu Juyan gradually halted his steps as he looked at Du Liangqing, who was sitting on a bench. Noticing her disheveled appearance and her abnormally impoverished appearance, it caused him to be unable to resist the urge to embrace Du Ruqing in his arms and cherish her for a while.

He took off his jacket and carefully helped Du Ruqing put it on. At the same time, he also sat beside her to block the others' line of sight. His eyes were filled with pity, but he did not dare to reveal too much.

Du Liqing subconsciously lifted his head when he felt the weight on his body, and just happened to see Lu Juyan's existence. The grievances in his heart grew heavier, and his eyes reddened as he grit his teeth and turned to leave.

"Do you need any help?" Lu Juyan grabbed Du Liqing's arm. He didn't want her to leave just like that, and also wished that he could stay with her for a while longer. The pity and reluctance in her heart forced Lu Juyan to block her way as she feigned indifference in her questioning.

Upon hearing Lu Juyan's words, Du Ruqing's steps instantly halted on the spot. Even the strength of her leg had completely vanished. The heat in her heart rolled on and on, causing her to unconsciously want to stop.

"I want to borrow one of your shoulders." Du Liqing turned around, trying to hold back the tears that were filling his eyes. He took a deep breath and slowly spoke while keeping the sobs from his throat.

Her eyes had always been red. Now that she had such a stubborn appearance, even if Lu Jingyan wanted to refuse, it would be too much for her to bear. Nodding, he pulled her back to the seat and let her lean on his shoulder.

Du Ruqing, who was leaning on Lu Juyan's shoulder, felt a sense of security, causing her to unconsciously close her eyes and enjoy this feeling of peace and serenity.

Even if the two of them didn't say a word, it would still make Lu Juyan feel satisfied.

Since when did I become so easily satisfied?

Lu Juyan couldn't help but question himself in his heart as he turned to look at Du Liqing leaning on his shoulder. The warmth of his heart made him subconsciously not want to pursue the matter any further.

Not far away, Zhan Ziye happened to see this scene. He didn't hear the two clearly, but he could feel that the atmosphere between the two of them was extremely warm. He opened his mouth, but did not know how to say what he wanted to say.

The corner of his mouth curled up in a sneer. He leaned against the tree behind him and used the bushes to block his path. He did not move forward nor did he move backwards.

Lu Juyan didn't sense Zhan Ziye's gaze from behind him and focused wholeheartedly on Du Ruqing. He reached out his hand to rub her head and comforted her softly, "Those pictures aren't worth your sadness."

Actually, he didn't know what to say. He just casually said something to comfort Du Liqing. His large hand also habitually gave her a comforting warmth. As he lightly touched her, his touch warmed her ice-cold fingertip.

Slowly, Du Liqing's emotions grew calmer and calmer, and his fingertips were hot under Lu Juyan's hand. She quietly withdrew her hand and lifted up the head that was leaning on Lu Juyan's shoulder. She slowly opened her mouth and said, "Thank you."

Although Du Liqing was reluctant to part with this tranquil yet comforting feeling, she had no choice but to leave. After all, the two of them were only in parallel and could not cross by too much. Her heart gradually deviated from Lu Juyan in her selectivity, and she didn't want to have too much contact with other people.

Du Ruqing indifferently stood up, and as if nothing had happened, she prepared to leave. However, she was stopped by Lu Juyan's hand once again, and subconsciously asked again, "Do you need help?"

In Lu Juyan's mind, the scene of Du Liangqing touching her purse in front of a rented house flashed through his mind. Previously, the two of them couldn't meet, so they couldn't help each other out in the open. Now that Du Liqing's mind was slightly relaxed, he took advantage of the situation and entered the cave, hoping that the other party would choose to ask for his help.

"Hmm, can you lend me some money?" Du Liqing's heart trembled. He felt as if he'd been seen through in a trance when he saw Lu Juyan's resolute demeanor. His fingertips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to break free from his opponent's restraints. Breaking free of her hand, he took a few steps back, lowered his head, and slowly spoke while pursing his lips.

Lu Juyan awkwardly retracted his hand in the air. He didn't say much and directly agreed to Du Ruqing's request. He took out a cheque from his pocket and wrote down the number of the money that Du Liqing talked about.

"Thank you!" Du Liqing took the cheque handed over by Du Liqing. His heart was full of gratitude and he didn't know what to say. He could only thank Du Liqing again. He secretly swore in his heart that he would repay him well in the future.

She kept the cheque in her bag and exchanged a few pleasantries with Lu Juyan before making an excuse to leave. She still remembered her father's warning and didn't want to interact too much with him.

Lu Juyan stood up and looked at Du Liqing's departing figure with eyes full of reluctance, but he didn't extend a hand to stop him.

Zhan Ziye, who was standing not too far away, walked up and retracted the emotion in his heart. He patted Lu Juyan's shoulder, his lips curling into a carefree smile as he couldn't help but tease, "It can't be that you haven't gotten close to a woman because of that beauty just now, right?"

He also ignored that feeling of familiarity, but he didn't want to uncover the scar at the bottom of his heart and promote the relationship between Lu Juyan and that woman.

"Go back and drink?" Lu Juyan didn't directly respond to Zhan Ziye's words. The joy in his heart caused him to not feel the emotions of the people around him, resulting in him ignoring the change in the atmosphere.
