Chapter 97: She Looked Bulliable

“Second—”

Before Ning Li could finish her sentence, the words got stuck in her throat, and she was forced to swallow them back.

Lu Huaiyu had come back from the capital in the middle of the night and looked for her despite the heavy rain just to bring her back. He must be exhausted.

A normal person might not even be able to handle all the hassle and trouble, let alone Lu Huaiyu who was still in rehabilitation in Yunzhou. His body condition was not in the best condition, and running back and forth would surely take a toll on him.

It would be better for her to explain herself tomorrow.

“Good night, Second Brother,” she said before she headed to the guest room on the first floor.

Lu Huaiyu paused before he went up the stairs, taking one last glance at her. Holding her bag, the slender girl looked extremely lonely in the vast and clean space. He frowned slightly before he went up to the second floor.

…

Ning Li went into the room.

Lu Huaiyu had been living in this mansion alone. The guest room was decorated minimally, and it was obvious that no one had stayed here before.

She put her bag down. It was already 4:00 a.m., just a few more hours before dawn, and she still had to go to school in the morning.

She took off her uniform and held it in her hands. Then, she stood there and stared at the clean and tidy bed blankly as she was having a hard time settling down.

Along the way, her clothes had gotten wet and soiled because of the rain, but since she came in a hurry, she had not brought a fresh set of clothes to change into.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

She went to open the door and saw Lu Huaiyu standing outside with a pile of clothes.

“These are mine, but they are new. You can wear them for now.”

“Uh, it’s okay…” Ning Li said. Even though he had never worn them before, they were still his.

Lu Huaiyu noticed that she was holding her uniform. “Then, I’ll call them to bring your fresh clothes over right now.”

Ning Li’s eyes twitched as she quickly said, “It’s fine! I’ll just wear this!”

It would already be difficult for her to explain things if someone found out that she was in Lu Huaiyu’s place at this hour, and if she asked someone to send her a fresh set of clothes, things would only worsen.

Lu Huaiyu then passed her the clothes.

When she took the clothes off his hand, her fingers accidentally grazed his.

‘They’re cold,’ she thought.

The weather had turned cooler recently, especially on such a rainy night, but Lu Huaiyu’s hand was unusually cold as if he was a block of ice.

Something in her did not sit right. She did not care about what the Ye family thought of her, but to see Lu Huaiyu go through all sorts of problems for her in a single night, she felt bad.

After giving her the clothes, Lu Huaiyu wanted to walk away, but Ning Li held him back after a quick hesitation.

“I’m sorry.”

Lu Huaiyu turned around and stood outside the door.

The lighting in the corridor was poor, so only half of his face was visible. His features were hidden in the darkness.
