Chapter 249 I Will Always Be With You

Su Jianan nibbled her fingernails and clicked on the most-viewed post.

The poster seemed to really be her college cla.s.smate because they precisely named Xiaoxi’s cla.s.s number and professor and even pointed out the relations.h.i.+p between Luo Xiaoxi and Su Jianan, saying they were really close friends.

However, the netizens wanted some jaw-dropping inside stories and strongly requested that they revealed all of Luo Xiaoxi’s secrets, or, they would stay single for a million years for being a sensational headline writer.

Then, people started to call her a girl full of tricks.

They said that she pretended to refuse all of her admirers while secretly putting them on the bench.

She had people write all of her letters of application to study abroad and got into Columbia University with the help from one of her backup guys.

Moreover, when she went home to work in the police office, it was all because she had sucked up to the young master of Jiang Family. Otherwise, she couldn’t have won the job over others with her capability!

The poster wrote with certainty and successfully turned Su Jianan into a girl full of tricks in the public’s eyes. When the netizens started to share the post on Weibo, the users all posted with the hashtag: Su Jianan doesn’t deserve Lu Boyan.

When they talked about Su Jianan and Lu Boyan, they mentioned Han Ruoxi as well. Therefore some netizens started to urge Han Ruoxi to get Lu Boyan back, and even said that it was perfect timing for Han Ruoxi to return home now. Because if Han Ruoxi didn’t get him back now, when would she?

Involuntarily, Su Jianan nibbled harder on her fingernails and she looked gloomy.

It didn’t matter what gossip the online posters were spreading. When the truth of the murder case surfaced, all the rumors would fail.

Nevertheless, when the rumors involved Lu Boyan, she couldn’t relax anymore.

Soon, Lu Boyan noticed the unusual quietness of Su Jianan. So, he got up and walked over. “What are you reading?”

Su Jianan gasped and was about to snap the notebook shut, but on second thought, wasn’t that too obvious?

Fl.u.s.tered, she closed the browser and randomly tapped on the keyboard, and then, a window of a photo alb.u.m folder popped up.

It contained only one photo alb.u.m, and she clicked on it and couldn’t help but let out a “gee”.

Shen Yuechuan once told her that since she got into college, Lu Boyan had been having people take photos of her. She had never seen one of them, and they turned out to be on Lu Boyan’s personal computer.

There were many photos of her, from when she was a freshman, and when she graduated, to when she found a job.

She didn’t know if it was because of her profession, which required her to take photos of dead bodies on the crime scenes, though she would occasionally take a few pictures, she usually wouldn’t put herself in front of the camera as Luo Xiaoxi did. Thus, she didn’t have many photos of her college time. She used to regret it because she didn’t reserve much evidence of her last carefree time.

However, Lu Boyan had, in another way that she hadn’t noticed, recorded the several years of her life.

Turning herself around, she saw Lu Boyan behind her. However, he didn’t look guilty at all, even expectant of something from her.

Su Jianan clicked to enlarge one of the photos in which she was still a freshman. “Don’t you think I haven’t changed at all?” She meant that she still looked as young as when she was 18.

Lu Boyan slightly c.o.c.ked one eyebrow. “Well, something has changed.”

He thought she was too old for him?

In front of the word every woman hated, Su Jianan was no exception and immediately turned solemn. “Like what?”

Lu Boyan smiled meaningfully. “You became my wife.”

“….”

In an instant, her serious face faded away, and a smile escaped from the corner of her lips.

Su Jianan covered her face with both hands, but her red ears betrayed her embarra.s.sment.

Lu Boyan spontaneously lifted up the notebook on her lap and stroked her head. “Go to take a shower.”

Su Jianan had never been so obedient as to immediately rush to the bathroom.

At the same time, Lu Boyan opened the browser and clicked on the post in Su Jianan’s browsing history. His eyes gradually darkened…

After 10 o’clock, Lu Boyan finally finished all the urgent doc.u.ments and carried a proposal file into the room after a shower. Su Jianan was leaning on the bed, reading a detective novel in the original edition.

He sat on the bed, and Su Jianan spontaneously changed her position to rest her head on his lap to continue reading.

Indeed, his legs weren’t as comfortable as the soft pillow, but Su Jianan liked it, and Lu Boyan couldn’t have stopped her. Thus, he acted as her human pillow while he kept reading the proposal file.

After a few pages, Su Jianan ran into an unfamiliar word and didn’t want to look up a dictionary, so she pointed at it and asked Lu Boyan,

Lu Boyan glanced at it. “Jurisdiction.”

Su Jianan answered with an “oh” and turned over to look at Lu Boyan curiously. “How can you master so many languages?”

As far as she knew, Lu Boyan mastered English and French, and also spoke fluently Italian as well as other minority languages. She had never considered herself stupid, but after learning English, when she studied French, she would always run into some baffling words.

However, these were all a piece of cake in Lu Boyan’s eyes.

How did he do it?

However, Lu Boyan put on a confused face. “Isn’t that simple enough?”

Su Jianan. “…”

Well, they were born in different ways, and she didn’t have the body-changing pill to turn the table, so she could just call it a night.

She snapped the book shut. “I’m going to sleep!”

Lu Boyan tucked her, while he didn’t seem to want to lie down. Su Jianan pulled his clothes. “When do you finish?”

Usually, she had the senses not to disturb Lu Boyan, but tonight, she was a little strange.

Looking into the Little Monster, Lu Boyan’s eyes contained a slight trace of doubt.

Su Jianan murmured, “I can’t…” The things that happened during the day kept flas.h.i.+ng in her mind and kept her eyes open.

Lu Boyan randomly put the file on the bedside table and lay down to cuddle Su Jianan. As if she were a startled kid, he stroked her skinny back lightly over and over again. “I’ll be with you. You can go to sleep now.”

Su Jianan exhaled deeply as if she wanted more rea.s.suring aroma from him. Then, she crawled into Lu Boyan’s arms.

However, she still had difficulty falling asleep, so she wriggled and stuck out her head like a small mole, but was pressed down by Lu Boyan. His voice sounded dangerous. “Don’t stir.”

She knew clearly what that would bring.

However, sometimes, even if she didn’t move a muscle, she would end up in the same situation.

While thinking like that, at some point, she had laid her soft body on Lu Boyan’s, and innocently looked at him with compressed lips.

Lu Boyan dangerously squinted. “Do you want to sleep or not?”

Su Jianan bit her lips. Her white teeth and rosy lips both looked like an invitation.

Lu Boyan’s eyes darkened and he started to breathe heavily. When she heard them, Su Jianan couldn’t help panicking and blus.h.i.+ng.

Nevertheless, she seemed to want this kind of reaction from Lu Boyan, because she smiled more brightly and even sounded more coyly. “I’ve told you that I couldn’t fall asleep…”

Before she finished her words, Lu Boyan had sealed her mouth. He seemed to want to turn over to press her down, but today, Su Jianan was unusually quick and clung to Lu Boyan like an octopus, stubbornly suppressing him.

Lu Boyan c.o.c.ked one eyebrow at her, looking in doubt. However, Su Jianan ignored his signal and copied the way Lu Boyan had been. She acted dominantly and kissed him hard and had been taking control all the time.

Lu Boyan slowly raised the corner of his lips: the Little Monster of his had finally learned.

He stopped moving and let Su Jianan do what she wanted.

It was said experiencing something new once in a while could help a couple grow closer.

However, right now, somebody couldn’t be as calm as Lu Boyan.

When such a thing had happened to Su Jianan, not only Tang Yulan was frustrated, Mr. Luo and Mrs. Luo were also worried. They kept sending for Luo Xiaoxi to probe for how the things went. Therefore, Luo Xiaoxi had a good reason to visit Su Yicheng and had finally dumped the two hard-working bodyguards.

Lao Luo was probably sympathizing with Su Yicheng at the moment, so he did not say anything to stop Luo Xiaoxi from seeing him.

Lu Boyan was a celebrity and he was also involved with the rising star, Han Ruoxi. The news had been boiling up on the Internet, and Luo Xiaoxi didn’t have to ask Su Yicheng to know how bad the thing had gone—before any conclusion had come out, Su Jianan had been bombarded by criticisms in the online world.

Therefore, when Su Yicheng came back from work, she only placed a pair of slipper for him and asked if he had had dinner.

Su Yicheng had sent dinner to Su Jianan and went to two different places, calling for people to handle Su Jianan’s matters. In the end, he had utterly forgotten about his dinner.

The moment he returned home and saw Luo Xiaoxi, he was a little dazed. As if all of his strength had been taken away in an instant, he completely leaned onto Luo Xiaoxi, clutching her. “I don’t feel like eating anything.”

Thus, Luo Xiaoxi had to persuade him. “I haven’t had dinner, and we can eat together.”

She ordered seafood ca.s.serole porridge and some cold dishes from a takeaway restaurant.

The porridge came with the pot and was still steaming hot, and you could even get burned if not paying attention. Luo Xiaoxi c.o.xed and threatened and finally made Su Yicheng had a bowl of porridge. Then, he waved his hand to indicate he had been full.

Luo Xiaoxi didn’t insist. She knew that when you lost your appet.i.te, you would still taste nothing even if it was the best food in the world.

“Jianan will be fine.” She said, “I knew her. She always said that living human beings are way scarier than dead bodies. So she can cut open the corpses and doesn’t dare to mess up with people around her. No matter how much she hates Su Yuanyuan, she can’t kill her, right?”

“I saw Jianan in the evening,” Su Yicheng said.

“How’s she doing?”

“Lu Boyan’s with her, and she looks fine.”

Luo Xiaoxi patted on Su Yicheng’s shoulder and looked more serious than before. “I’ll also be with you.”

Su Yicheng finally raised the corner of his lips. “Xiaoxi…” However, he stopped in the middle of the sentence.

After a short while of waiting, she heard nothing more from him, so she thought he was calling to confirm her existence beside him. Then, she solemnly repeated herself, “I’ll be with you all the time.”

Looking surprised, Su Yicheng stared at Luo Xiaoxi for quite a while and suddenly seized her lips. He kissed her very hard as if he wanted to confirm something.

Luo Xiaoxi was stunned, but just for a little while. Soon, she collected herself, wrapped her arms around Su Yicheng’s neck, and responded to him.

However, in the end, they did not proceed. Su Yicheng held Luo Xiaoxi in his arms, lying on the bed. Luo Xiaoxi was leaning against his chest and knew that he didn’t close his eyes yet.

In the world, Su Jianan was the most important one in Su Yicheng’s eyes. Now that something so terrible had happened to Su Jianan, it was not easy for him to remain calm at the moment.

“Su Yicheng…” Luo Xiaoxi wanted to say something to Su Yicheng.

“I’m fine.” However, Su Yicheng seemed to know what Luo Xiaoxi wanted to say. He lowered his head to kiss her lips, making her swallow back her words. “It’s late. Go to sleep.”

Luo Xiaoxi looked up and found that Su Yicheng had closed his eyes.

She didn’t suspect a thing and also comfortably closed her eyes. Soon, she fell into deep dreams.

When Su Yicheng heard Luo Xiaoxi’s breath gradually turning steady, he slowly opened his eyes.

—”I’ll be with you all the time.”

If she had known everything behind this, would she still readily say that out loud to him?

It was bound to be a sleepless night for Su Yicheng.
