But the fragrance of gardenia was the most familiar to her. When she heard the heartbeat coming from the man's chest, her panicked heart gradually calmed down.

Jiang Lan stretched out her hands, hugged his strong waist, buried her whole face in his arms, and sniffed his scent greedily.

Lu Jingchi also hugged her, caressing her back and said nothing.

I don't know how long it took for the person in his arms to stop trembling. Lu Jingchi let her go, lowered his head and said, "Go to sleep in the bedroom, okay?"

Jiang Lan raised her head and looked at him with red eyes, as if asking him if he would leave.

He raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and whispered: "I will accompany you."

With that said, he picked up Jiang Lan, got up and went to the bedroom.

He opened the white cloth on the bed and put the person on it. He looked around again, went to the cloakroom inside and turned over the quilt, took it out and covered Jiang Lan's body.

Jiang Lan stared at him, following his footsteps as he moved back and forth in the room, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

Lu Jingchi looked back at her and said, "You go to bed first, I'll take a bath."

He took his nightgown, pushed open the bathroom door and went in. After a while, the sound of water came from inside.

Jiang Lan's hand holding the corner of the quilt gradually loosened, and she slowly closed her eyes. Listening to the strong wind and thunder outside, she seemed not to be so scared anymore.

In the past, whenever there was thunder, he would always be there. Jiang Lan knew that he was at home, so he would not feel scared.

It's just that the sound outside is too noisy. Even if the glass door is well insulated, you can still hear the muffled thunder outside.

Lightning flashed through from time to time. She closed her eyes, and the white light still flashed in front of her eyes.

She grabbed the quilt and covered her head.

After a while, amidst the sound of running water in the bathroom, her tense body relaxed and she was about to fall asleep in a hazy state.

The bed next to her sank, and a gust of cold wind penetrated into the quilt, followed by even colder fingers falling on her face and body.

Jiang Lan opened his eyes, and the man's enlarged handsome face appeared in front of him.

Lu Jingchi's cold fingers caressed her cheek, and then he got into the bed again, put his arms around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.

Jiang Lan stared at him, as if he wanted to see through him.

Because she was not sure whether the man in front of her was an illusion, she plucked up the courage and raised her hand to touch the man's cheek.

Soft, hot, and real.

Lu Jingchi grabbed her hand and stared at her expressionlessly.

The two looked at each other for a long time before he spoke in an unclear tone: "Jiang Lan, what exactly do you want to do?"

Jiang Lan's eyes flashed, and she was confused by this question. She didn't know why he would ask such a question.

Lu Jingchi stared at her for a long time without saying a word, as if waiting for her answer.

Jiang Lan lowered her eyes, put her face against his chest, slid her whole body into his arms, and hugged his waist tightly.

She closed her eyes, listened to his heartbeat, and closed her eyes in peace.

It was as if the strong wind and thunder outside had gone away, and there was silence inside the house.

Lu Jingchi didn't push her away, he hugged her and looked thoughtfully at the window. The dark floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the reflection of the bed.

Jiang Lan fell asleep in his arms.

She hadn't had such a peaceful sleep in a long time. She slept deeply and even had sweet dreams.

In the dream, Lu Jingchi turned into a brown teddy bear, hugging her tightly, soft and gentle.

Jiang Lan didn't know why she had such a dream. She hugged the bear tightly and refused to let go, as if she was holding on to a life-saving straw.
