Pei Yiwu hugged her knees, and a pleasant scent wafted through her nostrils. It seemed to be the smell of laundry detergent, a faint and refreshing fragrance that eased her pain to some extent.
It didn’t take long for Lu Mingyu to return. It was late autumn and getting close to winter, and Lu Yang was wearing short sleeves. Sweat was forming on his forehead due to his running.
Pei Yiwu stared blankly as he ran up to her.
Lu Mingyu half-squatted and opened the medicine box. He held the medicine in one hand and a cup in the other.
Pei Yiwu hesitated. “Coffee with medicine?”
Lu Mingyu furrowed his brow. “It’s not coffee but warm water. Hurry up and take the medicine. If you keep dawdling, you’ll suffer even more.”
Pei Yiwu slowly consumed it, and indeed, the cup contained warm and clear water, not coffee.
“Thank you.”
“No need. It’s an exchange of favors. You saved me last time, and now I’m helping you. We’re even.”
Pei Yiwu looked at him blankly, as if she was lost in thought. Her body trembled slightly.
After a while, seeing her complexion improving, Lu Mingyu said, “How are you feeling? Are you feeling better? Let’s go if you are.”
The corners of Pei Yiwu’s eyes turned red, and she choked back tears. “I’m already in such a state.”
Lu Mingyu asked, puzzled, “What state?”
Pei Yiwu’s voice trembled as she said, “Although I know it’s not good like this, I can’t walk now. Can you carry me?”
Lu Mingyu couldn’t believe it. “What did you say? We’re just ordinary friends.
Let’s not overstep the boundaries!”
Pei Yiwu put on a hopeless expression. “Forget it then. You can go. Let me perish here on my own.”
After saying that, she buried her head in her arms, curling up into a ball, looking incredibly pitiful.
“Fine,” Lu Mingyu pondered for a moment, then turned around, facing away from her, and squatted down. “Hurry up and get on.”
Pei Yiwu felt joyous as she climbed onto his shoulder. Lu Mingyu’s arm crossed over her knees, and he quickly averted his gaze upon noticing her bare legs.
Out of the blue, he made a sarcastic comment, “Even in such cold weather, you don’t wear pants.”
“I’m wearing the leg-warming stockings. It keeps me warm!” Pei Yiwu said. “Leg-warming stockings? What on earth is that? I’ve never heard of it. I only know that Yangyang wears pants and doesn’t have as many problems as you,” Lu Mingyu retorted.
Pei Yiwu was rendered speechless.
While the car was still on its way to Pei Yiwu’s home, Lu Yang called.
“Yangyang.”
Lu Yang responded, “Mingyu, I saw the message you sent me. How is Pei
Yiwu?”
Lu Mingyu glanced at the person sitting in the passenger seat. “After taking the medicine, she’s feeling much better.”
“Did you take her home?”
“We’re still on the road. Yangyang, you should rest well. You have to go back to school tomorrow, so take it easy tonight. We can reschedule the rehearsal. I’ll give you a big surprise when the time comes.”
“Okay.”
Knowing he was driving, Lu Yang didn’t chat for long. “Take care and drive safely.”
Lu Mingyu replied, “Yeah. Call me if you need anything.”
Since entering the entertainment industry, Lu Mingyu had been busy all the time. He would give his best in every performance, and rehearsing day and night was a common occurrence. The concert had been scheduled in advance, and after it was over, he would specifically set aside time to accompany his sister.
Pei Yiwu looked up and gazed at Lu Mingyu’s profile, pretending to be surprised. “A doting brother like you aren’t always by your sister’s side?”
“The best way to get along is to give each other freedom.” Lu Mingyu explained, “Yangyang has her own dreams, and I don’t understand them. All I can do is not obstruct her.”
Pei Yiwu didn’t expect him to answer, as he always said that she would not understand. Hence, she was quite surprised that he responded.
She had originally wanted to ask if he knew that Lu Yang was serving as a consultant for Jiang Yanzhou’s new drama, but since he had said the best way to get along was to give each other freedom, bringing up this matter would seem meddlesome.
Lu Mingyu gripped the steering wheel and smoothly maneuvered the car. When it came to a stop, they were in a familiar environment, but Pei Yiwu remained motionless.
She looked at the ibuprofen in her hand and asked him, “How did you know which medicine to buy? Did your previous girlfriend teach you?”
“What’s so surprising about knowing about this stuff?” Lu Mingyu didn’t understand why she was so shocked and countered, “Can’t you know about ibuprofen if you haven’t had a girlfriend?”
Her mind went blank with his question. “… No.”
“Why are you so quick to answer every question today?” Pei Yiwu was puzzled by this.
Lu Mingyu replied, “With your eyes all red from crying, others might think I made you cry if I don’t answer.”
Pei Yiwu remained silent.
She had never met anyone as straightforward as him.
Lu Yang had been keeping Chen Su informed about everything regarding Lu
Mingyu. After finishing the call with Lu Mingyu, she dialed Chen Su’s number..
