Lu Chengzhou looked back over at Gu Mang standing in the hallway as if he had sensed her presence after ending the call. The bubbling sound of the milk jolted him back to his senses, and he quickly turned off the stove and poured the heated milk into a cup.
Gu Mang approached him and rested her forehead against his back. He froze.
"Lu Chengzhou," she said his name all of a sudden.
Lu Chengzhou turned his head slightly back to look at her. "Hm? If you’re feeling sleepy, drink this cup of milk before going to bed."
"Lu Chengzhou." She called his name once more and lifted her hand to tug at his clothes.
Lu Chengzhou stood there motionlessly. "What’s wrong?"
She remained quiet for several seconds before finally lifting her head and straightening herself slightly. "Nothing. I just wanted to call your name."
Holding the cup of milk in one hand, Lu Chengzhou turned around and held her hand in his other hand. The bath had warmed her up slightly and her hand was not as cold as before.
"Let’s head back to the room first. I’ll help you dry your hair," he told her.
"Mm," she responded.
The couple thus returned to the bedroom.
While blowing her hair dry with the hair dryer, Lu Chengzhou softly said, "Whatever you don’t have, I’ll supply. It’ll be like nothing happened to it."
If the Sleeping Jade was broken, he would find another for her. Whatever she wanted, he would give her.
Gu Mang stared fixedly at him before breaking into a smile and lifting his chin with a finger. "Just as long as you don’t snatch what’s mine."
Lu Chengzhou fell silent for a moment before saying quite earnestly, "Like I said, whatever you don’t have, I’ll supply."
She lifted an eyebrow at that.
