Lu Juyan hung up the phone, his eyes could only stare into the empty room, even though it was brightly lit, he still felt a chill in his heart. As time passed, he stared at the television in front of him with the computer turned on. A soap opera had passed, but Du Yanqing still had not come back.

It was unknown whether Lu Juyan's bottom line was constantly dropping because of Du Yanqing, or whether it was because he believed that Zhan Ziye would not do anything to him. He was still calmly sitting on the sofa waiting, but he couldn't help but feel like he was going crazy. He frowned slightly, completely losing all feeling of tiredness.

In the bar, everyone was having fun. In this period of time, Du Yanqing was drunk with two cups of highly concentrated wine, and his entire person started to become drowsy. If not for Zhan Ziye blocking the wine for her, she would have been a pile of mud by now.

"I want to go home!" Du Yanqing lied down on the sofa to rest. The feeling of drunkenness made her head ache slightly. She squinted her eyes and looked at her surroundings. Vaguely, she saw someone approach her. She subconsciously grabbed his hand and whispered, but her tone was very firm.

Zhan Ziye who was squatting down and looking at Du Yanqing's blushing face, couldn't help but want to go and touch it, but she caught him just in time. Hearing her voice, his lips curled up into a bright smile. He helped her up and said dotingly, "I'll send you back."

His movements were extremely careful, afraid that he would accidentally hurt Du Yanqing. Feeling Du Yanqing's body leaning towards her, she faintly felt a change in her heart, she inexplicably wanted to take care of her. After greeting a few people in the room before bringing Du Yanqing and leaving the place, he completely did not notice the bitter and resentful gaze that flashed past the woman in the room.

Zhan Ziye helped Du Yanqing onto the carriage as he asked his driver to drive to Du Yanqing's house. He lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms. Suddenly, he turned his head to the side, as if he felt more comfortable there. But what he did not know was that Du Yanqing was just not used to the warmth from his embrace.

Upstairs, Lu Juyan sat in the living room for a long time, and when he stood up, he walked towards the window. As his vision drifted to the familiar car downstairs, a sliver of anger rose in his heart. He withdrew his gaze and pretended to be indifferent as he walked out. Just as he reached the top of the stairs, he vaguely felt that his actions were too hasty.

In the end, he chose to return to the door of Du Yanqing's room and leaned his body against the wall as he pondered about his feelings for Du Yanqing.

"You live together?" Zhan Ziye carried Du Yanqing halfway up the stairs, and when he saw that Lu Juyan was still awake, he was astonished in his heart. The feeling of satisfaction in his heart had also disappeared. He had an inexplicable feeling that something in his heart had been snatched away by someone else.

Du Yanqing, who had slightly opened his eyes, looked at the Lu Juyan in front of him, who was illuminated by the warm yellow light. He subconsciously threw himself into Yun Che's embrace, leaned his head against Yun Che's heart, and listened to his powerful heartbeat. A familiar feeling made Du Yanqing feel at ease. Ye Zichen smacked his lips and hugged Ye Zichen, causing him to fall asleep in Ye Zichen's arms.

Lu Juyan subconsciously placed his hand on Du Yanqing's back and her slender waist, preventing her body from slipping down. Sensing her steadier breathing, he immediately carried her in his embrace. He did not intend to bother with Zhan Ziye's words as he turned around and took out the key to open the lock. Feeling the warmth from her body, the eagerness in her heart calmed down a little.

"Bro, I've brought your woman back safely. Shouldn't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"

Zhan Ziye had already sensed the change in Lu Juyan's emotions so he inexplicably wanted Lu Juyan to leave Du Yanqing. He pretended to be relieved and teased, his face had a teasing smile, but he deliberately kept his distance from Lu Juyan.

He knew that the person who was familiar with Lu Juyan must be him, so he did not overestimate himself. He just didn't want to see the two of them living together. The emotions in the bottom of his heart continued to grow, and even he himself didn't know why he couldn't help but want to get closer to Du Yanqing.

"Don't try to harm Du Yanqing!" Otherwise, don't blame me for turning hostile!

Lu Juyan shot a cold glance at Zhan Ziye, his eyes filled with warning, and the pressure on his body continued to decrease, ignoring the two brothers' feelings. If not for Du Yanqing in his arms, he would have already unleashed a punch. Lu Juyan did not say the second half of the sentence, as he understood the principle of not hitting a smiling person when reaching out his hand.

Without much words, he turned the key and brought Du Yanqing in, quickly closing the door. He turned around and placed Du Yanqing in the room, and used a towel to lightly wipe him until he thought Du Yanqing was clean. Then, he washed the towel clean and put it back in its original position.

Du Yanqing who was lying on the bed felt pain in his hands, his eyebrows knitted slightly, trying to struggle free, but he was held back tightly. Gradually, she got used to the dizziness in her mind and did not struggle much. When the pain was gone, her skin that could be seen everywhere was covered with a layer of crimson. It was not the red of shame, but the bright red of someone wiping it with force.

Zhan Ziye, who had been standing outside the whole time, felt that it was boring and quickly left. However, he did not plan to give up on Du Yanqing and had completely ignored his warning. Since he didn't manage to catch him, why shouldn't he?

In his heart, he assessed this thought as insisting on his decision. At the same time, he faintly felt that something between the two of them was collapsing. But he didn't want to think about it, he only wanted to get along with Du Yanqing for a while longer.

The next day, the alarm clock on Du Yanqing's bedside table woke her up. Narrowing one eye, she turned sideways, stretched out her hand, and turned off the alarm. Her actions were done in one go, and as she stared at the dazzling light in front of her, she laid back down on the bed in confusion. However, she discovered that she did not remember anything about last night's events. She only remembered that she went over to give Zhan Ziye a birthday party, but could not recall the exact details of the events that transpired.

"Things that can't be prevented in time, like wind and rain in sunny times, but not in the morning or evening, and still reminiscing about the past …"

Before Du Yanqing could come out from her dazed state, the phone on the bedside table rang, pulling her thoughts back to reality. She lowered her body and picked up the phone, seeing that the person on the screen was Qu Yanyan, her heart was filled with confusion.
