Going Home

"I know." Li Rongrong lowered her head.

The chill surrounding Lu Qinian had returned to normal, and he glanced at the sky, whispering, "Tonight, I'll stay here."

Li Rongrong was taken aback and looked at the single bed, hesitatingly saying, "I'm afraid you won't be comfortable sleeping there. It's a single bed."

"It's alright."

"Then you sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the small sofa over there." There was a small sofa in the corner. Li Rongrong wasn't tall, so she could sleep on it.

Lu Qinian's tone was firm, "You sleep on the bed. Girls shouldn't sleep on the sofa."

Li Rongrong couldn't argue with him, so in the end, she could only watch as he got up and walked towards the sofa. Besides, it was already late, and Li Rongrong didn't want to say anything more.

Because she was worried that Lu Qinian wouldn't sleep well, she had been paying attention to any movements on his side. It was only when she heard the even breathing sound coming from the sofa that she softly called out, "Uncle Lu?" Seeing no response, she quietly got off the bed and hurriedly ran downstairs.

She went to look for the dolls that she and Ji Hang had worked so hard to catch. However, just as she had picked up a few, it started to rain heavily. She quickened her pace, holding the dolls tightly, and hurriedly ran back.

When she returned, her whole body was wet, but she didn't dare to wake up Lu Qinian. She secretly put the dolls into a box and then went to the bathroom to dry herself off and change her clothes before getting into bed. However, in her dream, she felt as if someone was using a dry towel to help her dry her hair...

When Li Rongrong woke up, she found Lu Qinian leaning over the bed and looking at her. "You have a fever."

Li Rongrong was even more baffled. Did she have a fever just like that? What kind of constitution did she have? Just because she got caught in the rain yesterday?

Lu Qinian handed her a thermometer and said, "Take your temperature first."

"Young Master, the doctor has arrived," Butler Bai's voice came from outside the door. Li Rongrong looked at Lu Qinian's worried expression and felt uneasy.

Due to her high fever, the doctor recommended administering an intravenous drip.

Li Rongrong had been afraid of needles since she was young, so she instinctively recoiled.

Lu Qinian walked over and covered her eyes with one hand. "Don't be afraid..."

Li Rongrong's attention was entirely focused on his hand. She blinked and felt that something was amiss. When she opened her eyes, she realized that his wound from yesterday had reopened!

"Uncle Lu!" Li Rongrong exclaimed in surprise. How did his wound reopen after just a nap?

"I'm fine," Lu Qinian withdrew his hand.

Li Rongrong had been insisting that the doctor check his hand injury, but Lu Qinian always refused! Because of her fever, Li Rongrong didn't hold out for long before falling asleep again.

"Young Master, what about these things?" Butler Bai pointed at the dolls.

"Keep them," Lu Qinian said, gazing at her with eyes as deep as the ocean.

When Li Rongrong woke up, she found herself already in the villa. Her first instinct was to check the box, and to her relief, she discovered that all her belongings, including her dolls, were there. She finally felt at ease.

"These days, you don't need to go to school," Lu Qinian said, lowering his head and touching his forehead against hers, trying to see if she still had a fever.

Li Rongrong didn't know what to do. She subconsciously looked up at Lu Qinian and was stunned. Her lips seemed to have touched his chin...

Lu Qinian seemed unaware of what had just happened, and time seemed to have stopped. The ambiguous moment was interrupted by a male voice calling out, "Boss Lu? I know you're home. Where are you?"

The intimate atmosphere was shattered, and Lu Qinian glanced at the bewildered Li Rongrong before speaking in a low voice, "Get some rest for a while. If you don't feel well, call the servants." After that, he stood up and left.

Li Rongrong still hadn't fully recovered from the shock of the unexpected kiss. Did she kiss Lu Qinian just now? She absentmindedly touched her lips...

Li Rongrong felt like she had gone crazy! She had kissed Uncle Lu! At this moment, all she wanted to do was bang her head against the wall! How could such an awkward thing happen? How was she going to face Lu Qinian? What would Uncle Lu think of her? She didn't do it on purpose!

Downstairs, He Yan watched Lu Qinian slowly descending the stairs, his arrogance suddenly disappearing. He nervously exclaimed, "Boss... It was my fault that day. I have always seen how you dote on her for so many years, so I wanted to help you..." He initially didn't know who Li Rongrong was, but he recognized the bodyguards and naturally found out her identity. That's why he secretly drugged and sedated Li Rongrong, adding a potent aphrodisiac to Lu Qinian's drink, hoping to assist. Who could have anticipated that Lu Qinian would rather harm himself than touch that girl?

Had he become a Buddha?
