With things sorted out, Lu An headed back to the kitchen to continue his work. The fridge wasn’t well-stocked, but whipping up a couple of dishes wasn’t a problem.
At noon, his sleeping beauty finally fluttered her eyes open.
Stretching on the bed, Jin Nian recalled how she had drowsily kicked someone off the bed that morning. She was so embarrassed that she quickly pulled up the blanket and covered herself tightly.
She was a little embarrassed, but she couldn’t just hide like a turtle. Jin Nian didn’t know what Lu An was doing at the moment. Jin Nian tiptoed out of the blanket and walked out of the bedroom.
She found the tall and sturdy Lu An diligently bustling around the cramped kitchen.
Every scene before her had a profound impact on Jin Nian. Lu An had his back turned, quietly cooking. Even though they hadn’t exchanged a word, she felt that this was the kind of married life she had always dreamed of.
She had even forgotten to put on her slippers. Walking barefoot, she carefully approached him from behind, wanting to playfully startle him.
But little did she know, Lu An had already sensed her presence. He turned around and enveloped her in a tight embrace.
“Sleeping Beauty is finally awake?” Lu An teased.
Jin Nian looped her arms around Lu An’s neck, her voice sweet and soft. “Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?”
“I couldn’t sleep. 1 was thinking of making breakfast for my girlfriend.”
Observing the dishes on the stove with a gentle smile, Jin Nian spoke with a playful lilt. “Then 1’11 go freshen up.”
“No rush.” Lu An leaned closer, a playful gleam in his eyes. “Give me a reward.”
Without hesitation, Jin Nian leaned in and planted a gentle kiss on his cheek before pulling away.
The sunlight filtered in perfectly.
As Jin Nian brushed her teeth and headed toward the balcony, she caught sight of Lu An having just finished washing and hanging the bed sheets. Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly retreated into the bathroom.
Once she was done freshening up, Lu An had already laid out the dishes on the table.
On the first official day of their relationship, they had already spent the entire morning together.
Lu An wished he could stretch time even further; he had so many things he wanted to do with Jin Nian.
Back that winter before graduation, Lu An had imagined all the things he wanted to do with Jin Nian once they were officially together. He had even read numerous posts online about relationship activities.
At that time, a popular post was ‘Too Things Couples Must Do”.
Climbing a mountain together,
Watching a movie together,
Visiting the sea together,
Engaging in a snowball fight together…
During that time, Lu An was a complete and innocent young boy. When he met Lu Feng during the winter break, he blushed with shyness as he shared these plans with him. Lu Feng couldn’t help but laugh for a long time. “Lu An, you’re truly a hopeless romantic!”
Lu An smirked, thinking the other person didn’t get it at all. “What do you know? If you don’t pamper your girlfriend in a relationship, then what’s the point of being in love?”
Lu Feng didn’t argue. After all, back then, he too was an inexperienced single guy in matters of romance.
Later, when he returned to China, he met Yu Feifei. After falling in love at first sight, he began to pursue her relentlessly. Only then did he belatedly understand that the Lu family’s love-struck tendencies were inherited.
Jin Nian took her time, feeling a bit groggy after breakfast. She contemplated returning to her room for a short nap. During workdays, she would usually take a siesta at this time, her eyelids automatically drooping.
How could Lu An let her sleep any longer? He coaxed and begged her to go out on a date with him.
“You want to go out? Well then, wait for me to freshen up and put on some makeup.”
Lu An checked the time on his wristwatch. “Alright, but you’ve only got fifteen minutes.”
Jin Nian chuckled in resignation. “Are you in such a hurry to go to work?”
Lu An glanced at the time again before asking, “Do you want to catch a movie or go shopping?”
After a brief consideration, Jin Nian replied, “I’ll follow your lead. Either option works for me.”
Just as they were chatting, Jin Nian’s phone rang. It was her boss, Lin Qianyu, on the line. He had been busy all day yesterday, so he was only now getting a chance to reply to her message. The topic at hand was too complicated to discuss in text, so he opted for a phone call.
Frowning slightly, Jin Nian moved to a corner to take the call. “I honestly can’t handle this task. Can you assign it to someone else?”
Lin Qianyu tried to reassure her. “Don’t worry too much. Is this because of your ex?”
Jin Nian unconsciously glanced at Lu An upon hearing that. Speaking into the phone in a lowered voice, she said, “I really can’t work alongside him. The mere sight of him makes me sick. Can you please grant me this favor?”
Lin Qianyu backed off a bit. “How about this? You won’t need to attend project meetings from now on, but you must still participate in this particular project. Let He Ming handle the communication part, so you won’t have to interact with that person. Does that sound alright?”
Jin Nian was still a bit resistant.. “Can’t you have Gao Qingming go instead? He’s always thought you were favoring me through the back door, hasn’t he?”
