CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 288: YOU STILL HAVE ME!

When Ji Niandong woke up, her head was still a little groggy, and she found herself sleeping on her own big bed, feeling like she was in a dream.

Seeing that her clothes were changed and clean, her face flushed. There wasn’t even a need to think about who did it, but... now was a special time, could it be that he even helped her change...

Ji Niandong shook her head and decided to change her pad first!

When she came out after freshening up, she found that Ada had already sent the shooting schedule to her WeChat, and there was still plenty of time to prepare!

In the WeChat group that a student dragged her into, there were already hundreds of messages, and when she clicked in, it buffered all the way to the top.

Almost all were complaints about her leaving first!

There were also private messages from Jiang Chao and Zheng MiMi asking how she was doing!

She replied one by one that she was fine, then walked out of the room!

Lu Beichen was watching financial news in the living room, with the volume turned down very low!

Even though the soundproofing here was great, it was as if he was still afraid to wake her!

Seeing her walk out, he stood up and asked, "Awake? Does your head hurt? I made some congee for you!"

He walked over, took her hand, led her to the dining table, turned around, and poured the milk, which he had been keeping warm, into a cup and handed it to her, "Have a glass of milk first to ease in!"

Ji Niandong drank more than half the cup in one go, feeling really thirsty, licked her lips, and looked up at him, which made Lu Beichen feel a dryness in his throat.

"Little Uncle, was it you who asked Lingling to take me back last night?" She only remembered being dragged away by Lingling and falling into his arms as soon as she got in the car, and then... she was too tired from crying and didn’t remember anything else!

Lu Beichen sighed deeply, "Next time, don’t drink so much alcohol again!"

"I only took a sip!" Ji Niandong lowered her head, a bit embarrassed. Last night, she must have fallen asleep! And he took care of her, bathing and putting her to bed, it should count as a gain!

She couldn’t hide her delight, and Lu Beichen noticed it but didn’t know what she was so happy about. He just replied, "Last night, Lingling said you downed a whole glass!"

"Really?" She tilted her head, genuinely looking like she couldn’t remember, and then stuck out her tongue, "Maybe I didn’t realize I’d finished the whole glass as I was drinking!"

Lu Beichen sat down next to her with the congee, and seeing her bury her head as if nothing was wrong, he was silent for a few seconds before asking, "In the future, don’t be upset on your own, you have me!"

Her hand paused as she spooned the congee, looked at him for a moment, then turned her face away, her gaze faintly evasive, "I’m not upset on my own, I’m just happy to have made friends, so I drank a bit more. It was only after getting drunk that I felt upset!"

The more she said this, the more heart-wrenching it became.

Lu Beichen held her shoulders, drew her closer to face him, staring intently at her, yet her gaze still avoided his.

Lu Beichen cupped her face and said, "That’s why I say it’s hard to find Tong Lu! Because Sheng Mingyuan has been searching for so many years and still hasn’t found her! He’s asked a lot of people, he even asked me!"

But... he still couldn’t find her!

Ji Niandong didn’t expect him to explain so straightforwardly, she bowed her head in silence for a few seconds, then exhaled softly, looked up and smiled, clearly a forced smile, "Little Uncle, I’m fine, didn’t I already say I don’t want to look anymore! She was just someone I admired, if I surpass her someday, then she’ll be nothing!"

Lu Beichen curved his lips slightly, "It’s good that you think that way! And in the future, no matter what happens, don’t be like before and suffer silently on your own! In front of me, you can cry and throw a tantrum as much as you want, no matter what happens, I will be by your side, bearing it together with you!"
