Was it her?
She was cooking herself.
Was it to thank him for sparing Du Guokun?
Thinking this, Lu Jianshen inexplicably felt a bit disappointed, but then he shook off the thought, comforting himself, "Lu Jianshen, you have to learn to be content, no matter why, in any case, this moment is what you wanted, and that's enough."
He lightened his footsteps, walking toward Nan Xi.
Nan Xi was turning around.
Suddenly seeing Lu Jianshen appear right before her, and so close at that, she immediately jumped in fright.
Just as she was about to scream, Lu Jianshen had already stretched out his hand to embrace her, steadying her in his arms.
"Did I scare you?" Lu Jianshen asked.
"Yes!"
Nan Xi nodded, quietly stepping out of his embrace.
"How come there was no sound when you walked?"
Lu Jianshen had wanted to say, it's because you were too focused, that's why you didn't notice me coming in.
