Can't Eat

Jiang Yao walked downstairs in her slippers. Cheng Jinnian's eyes lit up when he saw her. However, when he saw her walk toward Lu Xingzhi as if she did not see him, Cheng Jinnian sat up straight and did not say anything.

"Come with me to the yard to bask in the sun." At that time, the sun was still relatively warm. Jiang Yao reached out and poked Lu Xingzhi's shoulder. Then, she reached out to remove the newspaper from his lap and swiped her hand in front of him. She motioned for him to take her out.

"Do you want me to get you an apple while you bask in the sun?" Lu Xingzhi stood up and held her small hand in his palm. When he spoke, his voice was much softer than when he talked to Cheng Jinnian. That was natural and not intentional.

He would always leave all his tenderness to Jiang Yao.

"I'm not eating." Jiang Yao shook her head.

The sun was shining brightly in the courtyard. It was just after ten in the morning, so it was not too hot.
