Jiang Lan stared at the clock on the wall. When it reached 12 o'clock in the morning, the food on the table became cold again.

She brought the meals into the kitchen and reheated them.

At 12:50, the door opened and she turned around to see that Lu Jingchi was back.

With his suit jacket hanging on his arm and a hint of drunkenness on his handsome face, he walked towards Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan stood up and poured him a bowl of hangover soup, but he knocked it over as soon as he handed it over.

Then, he grabbed her chin and kissed her lips.

The smell of alcohol hit his face, mixed with the smell of woman's perfume. Jiang Lan pushed him twice but didn't push her. Instead, he picked her up and went straight to the bedroom.

The man turned her face away, looked at her with his deep eyes, and stroked her face with his fingers, "Why don't you speak?"

Jiang Lan stared at him, and he knew she couldn't speak.

She is mute.

But he would take the trouble to ask every time.

Sometimes Jiang Lan couldn't tell whether he was humiliating her or sighing.

She held the hand on her face, tilted her head, and rubbed it against the man's palm, like a kitten trying to please its master.

The man's dark pupils darkened, as if a raging undercurrent was about to emerge. He held her hand, lowered his head and kissed her lips.

...

When Jiang Lan opened her eyes, it was already dawn outside and the bedside was empty, but there was the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

She picked up the clothes on the floor and put them on. When she was putting on the last piece, the cell phone on the bedside table rang. It was Lu Jingchi's.

Jiang Lan glanced at the blurry figure emerging from the bathroom door, and then looked at the screen of his mobile phone.

Xia Yan: Have you gone back?

Xia Yan: Every time you do this, you have to find that mute to make me angry and disgusted?

Jiang Lan's eyelashes trembled.

The bathroom door opened, and Lu Jingchi walked out wrapped in a bath towel.

There was still moisture on his body, and his wet hair was hanging down, with water still dripping from the tips, dripping down on his chest and forming a water line along the lines of his abdominal muscles.

Jiang Lan looked away and lowered his head to button his clothes.

Lu Jingchi came to the bed, picked up his mobile phone, and glanced at Jiang Lan, who was lowering his head to get dressed.

"See?"

A smile appeared on Jiang Lan's lips, and she shook her head.

On the wedding day, he told her: You must always be good and don't love me. We will be the same as before and my brother will take care of you for the rest of your life.

He said don't love him.

So what if you see it?

He will care about whether she will be jealous, sad or sad.

People who are not cared about have no right to be angry.

On the contrary, her love and emotions will only burden him.

She was afraid that even he would step on her heart.

Jiang Lan was afraid that he... wouldn't want her anymore.

She gestured in sign language: I'm going to make breakfast.

Jiang Lan dragged his sore body, got up, walked out of the bedroom, and went to the kitchen.

Lu Jingchi stared at her thin back, then looked at his phone. He deleted the message from Xia Yan.

Jiang Lan made breakfast and served it to the table. He filled a bowl of porridge for Lu Jingchi and placed it on his place.

After a while, Lu Jingchi dressed neatly and came to the dining table.

The room was very quiet. Lu Jingchi said before that when he was with her, talking was like talking to himself.

As time passed, Lu Jingchi almost stopped talking to her, and for a while there was only the sound of clinking bowls and spoons on the table.

"Follow me back to Lu's house later." Lu Jingchi suddenly said.

Jiang Lan paused and placed the spoon on the edge of the bowl.

Jiang Lan:Okay.

Lu Jingchi glanced at her, her face always had that kind of unchanging meekness.

He is neither noisy nor fussy, neither tepid nor angry, and he can still greet people with a smile no matter how much he is wronged.

Lu Jingchi suddenly felt that the porridge in his bowl was tasteless.
