Chapter 315: How Else Do You Want to Grow Up?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Nan Yan woke up, it was already evening.
The room was not lit, casting a dim light.
Nan Yan blinked, about to sit up, when suddenly she noticed a beam of light by her bedside.
It was Qin Lu, sending ssages on his phone.
Afraid that using voice ssages might disturb her, he was texting.
The white light from the screen shone on his face, and from Nan Yan’s perspective, it felt strangely eerie.
His pallid complexion, cold and aloof expression, and the deep, still black eyes.
He didn’t look like an ordinary person, more like the ruler of the underworld, Lucifer!
Nan Yan watched him like this for a few minutes.
He kept typing non-stop, occasionally pausing, probably waiting for a reply.
Surprisingly, he hadn’t noticed that she was awake.
After watching for a while, Nan Yan got bored and lazily asked, “Big brother, what ti is it?”
She had just woken up, and her voice carried a soft and slightly hoarse tone that she didn’t usually have.
Unintentionally sexy.
Tinged with an enticing and teasing charm that belied her innocence!
Qin Lu heard her voice and imdiately put down his phone. His dark eyes were fixed on her.
Nan Yan lifted the blanket, intending to sit up.
Before she could move, there was suddenly an extra figure by her side.
If she hadn’t just woken up and her body felt sluggish and slow, she might have bumped into him.
“What are you doing? You suddenly ca over, and I almost bumped into you!”
Nan Yan asked softly, her body moving along with his approach as she lay back on her pillow.
Qin Lu’s hand supported her cheek, and his body bent down.
“Nan Yan…”
A low, affectionate murmur, filled with restraint and desire.
Conflicting emotions were clearly etched in his eyes.
Fortunately, the room was dimly lit, and he didn’t have to worry about Nan Yan seeing the emotions in his eyes, so he could be unrestrained in expressing them.
Nan Yan’s heart raced, and her breathing beca a bit rapid.
“Um…”
“Close your eyes.”
Nan Yan:
Although she had a hunch about Qin Lu’s intentions, she obediently closed her eyes.
Darkness could easily stir up the feelings hidden deep within her heart.
Through this self-deceptive natural barrier, she allowed herself to surrender.
Qin Lu propped himself up above her, his eyes filled with a tumultuous mixture of desire and inner struggle.
Nan Yan didn’t resist; she even closed her eyes willingly, as if allowing him to have his way…
In the end, he restrained his impulses and planted a kiss on her forehead.
Nan Yan:
Was that it?
She heard a low, hoarse sigh in her ear, “Yanyan, grow up quickly…”
Qin Lu didn’t want to beco a true scoundrel.
At the very least, he wanted to wait until she went to college before making any moves on his little friend.
To prevent himself from becoming more indulgent, he had to exercise even more restraint.
Nan Yan wasn’t sure if she didn’t get what she wanted or if she was angry that he was more interested in teasing than comforting her, so she pushed him away.
Qin Lu didn’t resist and got up naturally.
After she sat up, she coolly said, “I’m already an adult.”
With a sigh, she added, “How else do you want to grow up?”
Qin Lu chuckled softly, “Yes, my little friend is already a grown-up.”
Nan Yan rolled her eyes at him and stretched lazily, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Qin Lu reached over and turned on the table lamp on the bedside table.
He was afraid that sudden bright light would hurt Nan Yan’s eyes, so he adjusted it to a warm, gentle brightness.
It provided enough illumination to see the surroundings clearly without being too harsh or glaring.
Nan Yan noticed her shoes by the bedside and was about to bend down to pick them up when Qin Lu crouched down by her legs, considerately helping her put on her shoes.
Seeing the ever-so-capable Qin Lu assisting her with her shoes, Nan Yan’s gaze beca sowhat complicated.
However, Qin Lu acted as if nothing had happened. After he helped her with her shoes, he stood up and offered his hand to help her up.
“Yanyan, let’s have dinner first. After dinner, we’ll go et the elder from the
Fu family, alright?”
“Sounds good.”
It was now past eight in the evening, and she had slept for nearly four hours.
She hadn’t had dinner yet, and after expending so much physical and ntal energy in the afternoon, she was quite hungry.
Leaving the rest area, Elder Tao had already gone ho from work.
Considering the ti was getting late, Nan Yan didn’t go to see Fu Yubai and Old Professor Yun. Instead, she took the elevator and left the hospital ward.
As it was getting late, the two of them didn’t fuss too much and found a restaurant to have dinner.
The second elder from the Fu family and his n who had co from the Fu residence were locked in the basent by Qin Er.
Qin Er had been following his young master’s orders, keeping them alive but only feeding them one al a day and not letting them eat their fill.
They were so hungry that they didn’t even have the strength to cry out.
The tightly closed basent door was suddenly opened. The second elder and his n thought that Qin Er had a change of heart and wanted to give them an extra al.
However, as they looked up with excitent, they saw two unfamiliar man and woman.
These two people were clearly not ordinary individuals, especially the man. His imposing aura was enough to intimidate anyone.
“Who are you people? Why have you been holding us here? Do you know who I am?”
The second elder originally wanted to ask these questions with a strong and intimidating deanor. Unfortunately, due to their disheveled appearance and hunger-induced weakness, his questioning sounded feeble and lacked any force.
Nan Yan stood in front of the second elder, and with a aningful look from Qin Lu, Qin Er promptly brought two chairs.
One for Nan Yan and one for their master, Qin Lu.
After taking their seats, Nan Yan spoke indifferently, “Tell everything about
Fu Yubai. You better not hide a single detail.”
She wanted to know how Fu Yubai had ended up in his current state. Although Fu Yubai hadn’t focused on dicine when he followed his master, he had still learned so dical skills and understood the principles of health. She couldn’t imagine how he had allowed his own body to deteriorate like this.
But these were not questions she could ask Fu Yubai directly. Even if she did, she doubted she would get any answers. So, she intended to gather so clues from this second elder of the Fu family.
The second elder felt sowhat uneasy. He didn’t know Nan Yan and was unnerved by the oppressive aura she exuded. From what Nan Yan had said, it seed like she knew Fu Yubai, and there was a possibility that she was here to defend him.
Could she be the one responsible for what happened to Fu Yunhai, the person who had brought him to his current state?
“How is that possible…”
The second elder was more inclined to believe that it was Qin Lu, who was with Nan Yan, responsible for this rather than Nan Yan herself.
“If I tell you everything, will you let go?”
The second elder, no longer as arrogant as before, began to negotiate with Nan
Yan.
At this point, he didn’t care about anything else; he just wanted to leave this dreadful place, have a good al, and then go ho!
During his ti at the Fu residence, he had enjoyed a life of luxury and praise from others. These days as a prisoner had almost driven him insane.
Nan Yan’s expression remained cold as she spoke indifferently, “Whether I’m satisfied with what you say or not depends on what you tell .”
The second elder, pinning all his hopes of escape on Nan Yan, dared not hide anything and began to recount the story.
“When Fu Yubai was in his early teens, he left the Fu family and went sowhere to seek a ntor and learn a trade. When he returned, it was during the most difficult year for the Fu family….”
