Chapter 48 -48: Going on a Blind Date?

…

Lu Jingyan had no idea when Sheng Xian had left; she only realized that when her consciousness gradually cleared, she was the only one in the master bedroom.

Had it not been for the light that had been turned off, and the blanket still covering her body, Lu Jingyan might have doubted that Sheng Xian had ever been there at all.

The room was very quiet, and the dim lighting was conducive to sleep, but Lu Jingyan was so excited that she found it hard to fall asleep.

She didn’t know why she was so excited; it was as if she had been injected with chicken blood, full of fighting spirit.

She lay on the bed, giggling like a little lunatic from time to time.

“Sleep well, Little Fish.”

“Little Fish.”

Lu Jingyan mimicked Sheng Xian’s words, murmuring them several times, then turned over with the blanket in her arms and buried her face in the pillow, excitedly kicking the sheets a couple of times.

After being overexcited for a good half an hour, Lu Jingyan finally calmed down.

She really hadn’t expected Sheng Xian to bring her home.

Although Sheng Xian hadn’t asked her anything afterward, she always felt that the excuses she’d made had been seen through by him long ago.

She even suspected that the reason he didn’t ask anything was because he could tell that she didn’t want to talk.

He was very sensitive to boundaries. And very good at giving people space.

Such a person was the most lethal.

Lu Jingyan couldn’t help but think of what Song Xian had said to her before: “Yan Bao, you haven’t just met your match; you’ve met your nemesis.”

At that time, she had felt as though she really had met her nemesis.

Lu Jingyan suddenly became a bit melancholic and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Now that she thought about it, it wasn’t just a feeling; it was true.

She had indeed met her nemesis.

…

Lu Jingyan slept in until nearly noon before waking up.

When she opened her eyes to an unfamiliar environment, her sleepiness was somewhat more pronounced than usual. After a delay of about ten seconds, she remembered this was Sheng Xian’s home, and her spirit immediately lifted. She threw off the blanket, got out of bed, and made her way into the bathroom.

After freshening up, Lu Jingyan walked out of the master bedroom in her slippers.

The doors to the second bedroom and study were open, but Sheng Xian wasn’t inside either. Lu Jingyan wandered into the living room and found her clothes on the sofa, washed clean and neatly folded by Sheng Xian at some point.

She walked over, picked up the clothes, sniffed them, and then poked her head around, looking for Sheng Xian. He was nowhere to be found.

Just as she was about to go back to the master bedroom to get her phone to call Sheng Xian, there was a noise from outside the door.

She ran over and, through the peephole, saw Sheng Xian changing shoes. She hurriedly opened the door.

Sheng Xian was about to open the door when it suddenly swung open, and a head poked out, leaving him somewhat taken aback.

He couldn’t remember the last time someone had opened the door for him when he came home.

Was it when he was very, very young? So young that it felt like a past life?

Seeing Sheng Xian standing still at the doorway, Lu Jingyan asked, “Where’d you go?”

Sheng Xian looked at her for two seconds, “Bought some food.”

Only then did Lu Jingyan notice the bag in Sheng Xian’s hands, and she hurriedly stepped aside to let him in, “What did you get?”

“See for yourself.” Sheng Xian closed the door behind him, placed the bag on the dining table, and then went into the kitchen.

Lu Jingyan opened the bag and pulled out a food container, trying to figure out how to open it when Sheng Xian came back from the kitchen with cutlery.

He set the utensils on the table and glanced at Lu Jingyan who was having a staring contest with the container, “Stumped?”

Lu Jingyan: “…”

She acted as if she hadn’t heard Sheng Xian at all and continued to wrestle with the container.

After patiently watching for a while, Sheng Xian could no longer bear it, reached over, and took the container from her: “Let me do it.”

Then Lu Jingyan watched as Sheng Xian found a latch on the side, tore off the seal, and effortlessly opened the lid.

Sheng Xian had ordered roasted duck, along with a soup and two other dishes.

Lu Jingyan sat at the dining table without touching the roasted duck until Sheng Xian wrapped a slice in a pancake, and she naturally reached out, “Thanks.”

Sheng Xian glanced at her hand, “Don’t you have hands of your own?”

“…”

Lu Jingyan fell silent for three seconds, “The roasted duck I’ve eaten before was always served wrapped.”

Sheng Xian: “…”

He’d forgotten that the lady in front of him was indeed a treasured daughter of a wealthy family.

Sheng Xian also fell silent for three seconds, then set down his chopsticks and methodically wrapped the roasted duck slices one by one, placing them on a plate and pushing it towards her.
