About ten minutes later, the light on the balcony turned on, and a familiar figure appeared on the balcony...
He stood at the edge of the balcony, silhouetted against the light, with both hands resting on the railing, head tilted back looking at the starry sky above, completely unaware that on the lawn not far below him, soone was straining to look up at him.
The wind puffed up Lu Jing’s coat, making his slightly pale complexion look even more haggard under the light.
Chen Chen was beside him, rearranging the setup on the balcony.
Before long, Chen Chen left, leaving only Lu Jing on the balcony, and the lights were turned off.
Only the bright moonlight remained, diffusing a soft glow.
At this mont, Lu Jing seed to sense sothing and suddenly looked down towards the floor below, but all he saw was an empty lawn in the dim light, unable to discern anything...
Zhang Lingying could catch his movent of lowering his head, her heart briefly quickened but then she realized it was too dark below for him to see clearly.
Even so, she didn’t linger and quickly turned to leave.
Leaving the hospital, Zhang Lingying felt like soone who had just stolen sothing and nearly got caught, filled with anxiety.
When her phone rang, it took her nearly three seconds of daze to realize it was her phone ringing.
Seeing that it was Leng Jian calling, she quickly answered.
"Are you asleep?" Leng Jian’s gentle voice ca through the phone and instantly cald Zhang Lingying’s chaotic heartbeat.
Her grip on the phone tightened slightly as she replied calmly, "No, what’s up?"
Leng Jian: "Hmm, would you like to co out for a drink with ? If it’s convenient now, I can pick you up."
Zhang Lingying was taken aback, glanced at the ti, and asked, "Now?"
Leng Jian rarely called her this late.
"Yes, now." Leng Jian finished speaking and quietly awaited her response.
Zhang Lingying agreed, not wanting Leng Jian to find out she wasn’t ho, instead directly setting a eting place and heading over herself.
By the ti she arrived, Leng Jian had already parked and was waiting at the entrance.
Zhang Lingying approached, curiously glancing at the distinctively decorated establishnt in front of them, "Is this really a bar? It looks more like a café."
"It’s a quiet bar; the environnt is quite elegant, but the drinks won’t disappoint you."
Seeing her curious expression, Leng Jian couldn’t help but smile indulgently. He lifted his arm, letting her link hers through his, and led her inside.
Zhang Lingying used to be quite the obedient child with Professor Zhang.
Though Professor Zhang had nurtured her life skills so that besides doing experints, she could take care of herself, he certainly hadn’t taught her how to blend into the vibrant world.
Once inside such a setting, Zhang Lingying was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, appearing wide-eyed and inexperienced, pulling Leng Jian and asking questions nonstop.
Leng Jian patiently explained everything to her, also reminding her not to go out drinking alone.
When they finally settled into their seats, Zhang Lingying got to the point, "Why did you suddenly want to have a drink with today? Do you have sothing to tell ? Sothing important?"
Zhang Lingying’s barrage of three questions instantly turned Leng Jian’s relaxed deanor serious.
Rembering the information he had just uncovered, he hesitated for a mont before slowly starting to speak, "Do you still rember your childhood? The ti before Professor Zhang adopted you?"
