Jiang Lan pursed her lips, stood up, came to his side, and followed him out of the villa.

The night is getting late and the rain is getting heavier.

Lu Jingchi held an umbrella, and the raindrops pattered on the umbrella, which was particularly clear at night.

Jiang Lan looked at his side face hidden in the darkness, and couldn't explain how she felt in her heart. It was clear that he had been so cruel to her before.

Today I came to defend her again, and I didn't hesitate to offend Lu Xiyun.

What on earth is this man thinking?

She couldn't see through him, not at all.

Jiang Lan suddenly stopped leaving, the umbrella left her head, and heavy rain poured down instantly, blurring her vision.

Lu Lu paused, took another step back, put the umbrella back on her head, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Lan raised his head to look at him. The lights in the yard were wrapped in heavy rain. When the light passed through the dense rain curtain and fell on his face, it was so weak that he could hardly see it.

She stared at Lu Jingchi for a long time, then raised her hand and gestured: Why?

Lu Jingchi tilted his head, doubts flashed between his raised eyebrows, as if he was asking her what she meant?

Jiang Lan: Why do you want to be nice to me?

Lu Jingchi stared at her intently, his voice indistinct in the heavy rain, "Isn't this what it should be?"

Jiang Lan shook his head: No, if you are too good to a girl, she will fall in love with you.

Lu Jingchi said nothing, just looked at her.

Jiang Lan didn't wait for his answer. Perhaps it was like Si Ning said, men love to act stupid when it comes to relationships, and this can solve 90% of the troubles.

He looked away from Jiang Lan's face and looked away. There was nothing there except heavy rain and the dark night sky.

Just like the look in his eyes, there was nothingness.

"Is that so?" His voice was softer than before. It didn't sound like he was talking to Jiang Lan, but more like talking to himself.

Then, he looked at Jiang Lan and said to her, "I understand."

These four simple words vividly displayed indifference and ruthlessness. Jiang Lan suddenly felt that the rain above her head was heavy, which made her heart drop.

She had the urge to cry.

With these four words, he was avoiding her words and rejecting her unspoken thoughts.

He seriously... refused to give her any love.

Jiang Lan clenched her fingers tightly, pinching her palms with her nails. The pain spread through her limbs and into her heart, and her chest hurt even when she breathed.

She tightened her throat and suppressed the urge to cry.

Then, she took a step back, retreating from the nausea protected by his umbrella, and let the heavy rain wash over her cheeks.

She gestured: I won’t go back, I want to continue living here.

Lu Jingchi did not step forward to protect her from the rain anymore, and quietly watched her being soaked by the heavy rain, "Have you thought about it?"

Jiang Lan nodded: At least it's lively here.

"Okay, then you can stay here for a few days." He handed the umbrella to Jiang Lan. When she didn't take it, he held her hand and stuffed the umbrella into her hand.

"I go first."

Jiang Lan held the umbrella and watched him disappear into the heavy rain without looking back.
