Lu Chengwen stood before the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands in his pockets, watching the traffic outside.
Leng Qingqiu walked over. "Cheng Wen."
Lu Chengwen turned around. "Oh."
He wrapped an arm around Leng Qingqiu and looked out the window.

"He definitely knows the trouble I'm in, but he brought up everything today except this matter."

"Mm, I understand. Cheng Wen, you know so much."
Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu, surprised. It felt like she was deliberately flattering him.
Leng Qingqiu wasn't that
