At the same time, Rong Heng was still staying in Lu Yuan's apartment. Although the fever had subsided and his forehead was swollen and his head no longer hurt, he still looked sick.
Exceptions only occur when work needs to be done——
Whenever Lu Yuan wants to do something, he can always regain his energy in an instant, grab the work to be done from her hands, and do it himself first.
However, as soon as he finished his work, he would still stay in or on the bed, leaning against her at every turn.
After two days, Lu Yuan really had nothing to do with him. Anyway, his vacation was only for two days and he would be back to normal tomorrow.
After dinner, the two of them sat on the sofa and watched a movie together.
For Rong Heng, the two-hour movie was long and boring. When it reached an hour and a half, he had already exhausted his patience and couldn't help but secretly start moving.
However, Lu Yuan was extraordinarily calm and endured his harassment until the end of the movie.
Seeing the word "Theend" pop up on the screen, Rong Heng finally jumped up from the sofa, hugged Lu Yuan and said: "It's getting late, it's time to take a shower——"
"Wait, wait..." Lu Yuan was so entangled by him that he had no choice but to say, "Just let me read the subtitles for a few minutes. I want to digest it."
"What's so good about the subtitles!" Rong Heng was really impatient, "Tomorrow, when I'm not around, you can read it dozens of times!"
"How is this the same-"
"What's the difference?"
When the two of them were entangled, Rong Heng's cell phone on the sofa suddenly rang.
As soon as he heard the phone ringing, Rong Heng frowned instantly, but still refused to let go of her. He just freed one hand to pick up the phone.
However, the moment he saw the caller ID, he quickly let go of Lu Yuan, stood up, walked to the side and answered the phone.
Seeing his expression, Lu Yuan guessed that it was a very important call, so he quickly exited the playback interface, leaving him a quiet space.
The quieter the environment, the softer Rong Heng's voice is when he talks.
"...Just these few days?...Are you sure?...Okay, I'll come over as soon as possible to cooperate with the action..."
Lu Yuan didn't pay much attention to the content of his call. He only vaguely heard some of it. When he saw Rong Heng hung up the phone, he asked: "Is there an urgent task?"
Rong Heng's face was solemn, his brows slightly twisted, and he instantly returned to Lu Yuan's most familiar appearance. He nodded and said, "Yes."
"When will you leave?"
Rong Heng couldn't help but look at her again, "How much do you expect me to leave?"
"I'm just asking." Lu Yuan replied, "If I didn't ask, wouldn't you also have an opinion?"
Over the past few days, Rong Heng had long realized that although she spoke little, she often choked people with her words. He couldn't help but glare at her and said, "I'll make another call."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan responded, got up and walked into the bathroom.
Rong Heng quickly dialed Huo Jinxi's phone number.
By the time Lu Yuan came out of the bathroom again, Rong Heng had already finished making the phone call and was standing at the door of the bathroom waiting for her.
As soon as Lu Yuan saw his face, he knew that he would not be very happy next.
"I'm leaving." Rong Heng said, "Go to Huai City and go there overnight."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan responded first, and then said: "How long will it take?"
"Not sure." Rong Heng said, "It could be as short as three or two days, or as long as more than a week -"
"Oh." Lu Yuan responded again, and then said, "Is it a very important task?"
"Um."
"Then be careful." Lu Yuan said, "Don't get hurt."
Rong Heng stared at her for a while and said, "How about you go back to Huo's house to stay for a few days. If I'm not here, there will be someone to take care of you."
"I can take care of myself." Lu Yuan said, "Besides, even if I try to show off, Qianqian will still be staring at me, right?"
After hearing this, Rong Heng felt inexplicably disappointed and helpless, "You really don't let me worry..."
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment and just looked at each other.
"I hope you can rely on me more, be reluctant to leave me more, and can't live without me, do you understand?" Rong Heng simply spoke directly, approaching her face, and spoke almost intimidatingly.
Lu Yuan looked at him quietly for a moment and did not answer. He just raised his face slightly and kissed his lips.
Rong Heng was originally filled with dissatisfaction, but in an instant, his heart blossomed.
…
On the same night, in the Huo family's old house, Mu Qian sat on the bed in the bedroom, watching Huo Jinxi packing her luggage with her mouth flat.
As she watched, she couldn't help but move closer to Huo Jinxi, stretched out her hands and hugged Huo Jinxi's waist, "You can pack me up and take me away too."
"I'll be back soon." Huo Jinxi said in a low voice, "Once Shen Ting is taken compulsory measures, the situation has been decided. I will be back then."
After hearing this, Mu Qian sighed slightly and said, "This speed is much faster than I imagined."
"Over the years, Shen Ting has been arrogant and unscrupulous, and his downfall is bound to happen sooner or later." Huo Jinxi said, "Besides, this time, with several forces working together, it will naturally be quick."
Mu Qian listened and responded softly, but then fell silent.
Huo Jinxi then looked at her again.
Mu Qian suddenly came back to her senses, raised her eyes to look at him, and smiled again, "What are you doing?"
Huo Jinxi slowly bent down and looked at her, "Don't worry about things that shouldn't worry you."
Mu Qian stretched out her hand and hooked his neck, exhaled a long breath and said, "I know, I'll leave it all to you. Haven't I always been obedient?"
When Huo Jinxi heard this, he stared at her for a while, then finally lowered his head and kissed her again.
Mu Qian hugged his neck tightly, kissed him back almost greedily, and refused to let go for a long time.
