On his end, Lu Jincheng had dinner and returned home, not having the shamelessness to linger at Ji Yao's house.
He knew he did not have that privilege.
After thinking it through, Lu Qiancheng, although reluctant to leave his mother and Xinxin, still chose to go back with his dad.
After all, he hadn't seen his dad for quite a while.
That night, unable to sleep, Lu Qiancheng got up for a drink of water and unexpectedly encountered Lu Jincheng, who was also awake. He couldn't help but feel curious.
"Dad, why are you still up so late?"
Lu Jincheng was smoking, seemingly lost in thought. He was holding onto a cigarette that was almost finished, almost burning his fingers.
It was lucky that Lu Qiancheng spoke up, as it finally snapped his dad back to reality.
"Ah? Oh, dad can't seem to fall asleep. What about you, Qiancheng, why aren't you asleep?"
Lu Qiancheng thought for a moment, then simply moved closer to him, leaning on his shoulder.
