Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At this moment, Jin Nian had forgotten that she was still in a cold war with Lu An. She grabbed his wrist and carefully examined the wound. She gently blew on it and asked softly, “Does it hurt?”
Lu An didn’t dodge. When Jin Nian blew on him, he deliberately sucked in a breath, pretending to be in pain.
The wound on his hand was an accident. He had accidentally cut himself when he was beating the hooligans up just now. The wound was not deep, so he did not care at all. Only a girl like Jin Nian would be afraid.
Lu An had gotten injured many times when he was playing basketball, but he was afraid that Jin Nian would worry, so he didn’t tell her. This time, he deliberately let her see this injury.
He lowered his head and carefully observed Jin Nian’s reaction. Seeing her face full of self-blame and worry, his restless heart kept beating fast.
When the two of them were in a cold war, Lu An had been hanging out in front of Jin Nian a lot. She ignored him, and he couldn’t do anything about it.
Lu An was more or less depressed and conflicted. It was fine that she didn’t know about his love, but she even sent him a love letter on behalf of another girl. Did she not like him at all?
It was fine if she didn’t like him, but her behavior was too infuriating.
Did she think that his heart was plasticine? He was a human, so he would feel pain if his heart was casually rubbed.
Lu An couldn’t bring himself to apologize. He wanted to use this period to calm down, but he couldn’t help but spy on her on the day of the quarrel. He followed her quietly. He kept watching her back silently.
What happened today left Lu An with a lingering fear. If he hadn’t appeared behind Jin Nian, would she have been bullied by those hooligans?
“Let’s go to the clinic nearby,” said Jin Nian softly as she looked up and met Lu An’s eyes.
Lu An didn’t seem to mind. “No need.”
Jin Nian pulled Lu An away and said domineeringly, “I’m not asking for your opinion. We have to go to the clinic. Otherwise, the wound will get infected.”
Lu An pretended to struggle a few times. Jin Nian pulled his arm even harder. Their bodies gradually drew closer and closer. A faint sweet scent emanated from her body. When he lowered his head, he could smell the sweet scent that belonged only to her.
When she couldn’t see him, he couldn’t help but smile. He couldn’t help but be happy that they could finally reconcile.
“Lu An, why did you appear in the alley?” asked Jin Nian.
Lu An panicked, but his expression remained calm. “I was pa.s.sing by.”
Jin Nian snorted, “Pa.s.sing by? Where were you going? Why did you need to pa.s.s by the alley?”
“Don’t bother me.”
Jin Nian grabbed Lu An’s injured arm angrily. Lu An gasped in pain.
“I know you’re following me.” Jin Nian held Lu An’s hand and continued walking forward. “I saw you a few times. Did you think that you were hiding well?”
Lu An knew that he had been exposed, so he didn’t retort and walked side by side with Jin Nian. “Why didn’t you come over and greet me when you saw me? Do you still treat me as your brother?”
“What brother?”
“I’m older than you by more than nine months. How dare you say that I’m not your brother?”
“You’re not!”
“Ain’t I? Didn’t Teacher Tan say that I’m your brother in school?”
“Alright! If you want to be my brother, you apologize to me then!”
Jin Nian was sure that Lu An would never apologize, but she heard him in the next second, “I’m sorry.”
“What?” Jin Nian was stunned. She looked at Lu An in surprise.
A real man knows when to yield. Lu An repeated, “I’m sorry.”
It’s just an apology. It’s not that difficult!
Lu An sincerely admitted his mistake. “I shouldn’t have been so fierce to you last time, but you’re not allowed to pa.s.s a love letter on behalf of someone else again.”
Jin Nian wasn’t an aggressive person. Now that Lu An had taken the initiative to apologize, she took the initiative to admit her mistake. “I was wrong too.” This time, Lu An was interested. “Tell me, what have you done wrong?”
Jin Nian rolled her eyes and cleared her throat. “I’ve been thinking about it seriously. We can’t force our feelings. Besides, we’re still students. I shouldn’t have handed love letters on behalf of my cla.s.smates. If my mother finds out, she’ll make me write a letter of apology.”
“It’s good that you know it now.” Lu An chuckled.
Jin Nian glanced at him. “Then you won’t be angry, right?”
Lu An raised an eyebrow. “When did I get angry?”
“How dare you say that you weren’t angry that day!”
“No, I didn’t.”
“Tsk! Your fiendish appearance was even scarier than Hades. It would be a wonder if you were not angry.”
“You’re exaggerating. It’s as if you’ve seen Hades.” Lu An pursed his lips.
“I saw it just now. You were fighting three hooligans alone!” said Jin Nian..
