Shi Aiqiao sat with her legs on the sofa, waiting for Lansheng to come over. When he did, she stretched out her hand to him.
Lansheng didn't ask anything and just lifted her up to carry her upstairs.
"Why don't you date?" Shi Aiqiao asked softly, leaning on his shoulder.
Lansheng stood straight, her breath on his neck, stirring ripples in his calm heart.
He said, "No need."
"Hmm?" Shi Aiqiao didn't understand, "Why is there no need?"
"Not interested."
Shi Aiqiao blinked, "Then you'll have to live alone."
"Hmm."
"And you're alright with living alone your whole life?"
"Hmm."
"But I don't want to live alone."
Lansheng stood at the bedroom door, glanced at her with lowered eyes, saw the hint of loss on her delicate face, and said, "You have Yu Yuan, you won't be alone."
Opening the door, he placed her on the bed.
Shi Aiqiao stopped him, "Lansheng, will you stay and talk with me?"
Lansheng paused, he had never refused her requests, so he sat down on the chair beside her.
