Three years ago, Jason Lu was maliciously targeted by his peers. Someone tampered with his car. When the car went out of control and rushed towards the river and slowly sank, he was stuck in the driver's seat and couldn't move. It was Sophie Lawrence who gritted her teeth, broke the window glass and pulled him out. If it hadn't been for Sophie Lawrence, Jason Lu would have died long ago...
When he first met Sophie Lawrence, Jason Lu didn't pay much attention at first, or perhaps his attention wasn't so obvious yet. It wasn't until after the conversation with Henry Mitchell in the car that time that he felt he didn't need to continue to wish Sophie Lawrence and Henry Mitchell well.
...
In the evening.
Henry Mitchell went to the hospital to be on standby for care, and Sophie Lawrence was alone at home. Sophie Lawrence thought that the previous promotional content hadn't been completed yet, so she simply went to the study to prepare materials for the fire - prevention lecture next month.
"Ring - ring -"
Suddenly, the mobile phone rang.
It was Jason Lu calling.
Sophie Lawrence didn't think much and directly tapped to answer.
"Hello."
"I've brought you some food. Come and open the door."
Sophie Lawrence glanced at the time. It was over eight o'clock in the evening. She hesitated a little in her heart and then said, "It's too late. I've already gone to bed."
"Sophie sister, I'm here too. Don't worry. It's okay." Suddenly, Ethan's cute and mischievous voice came from the other end of the phone.
Sophie Lawrence pondered for a while and finally said, "All right."
The door was opened. Looking at Ethan and Jason Lu standing obediently at the door waiting, Sophie Lawrence was instantly amused.
"It's so late. Thank you for still thinking of me."
Jason Lu shook the late - night snack in his hand: "Your favorite crab in casserole, and also crayfish."
Sophie Lawrence smiled and let the two in.
Ethan's eyes darted around, and he blurted out subconsciously, "Sophie sister, your house looks so desolate."
Sophie Lawrence's expression froze slightly, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart. This empty house was indeed lacking in vitality.
Jason Lu raised his hand and tapped Ethan gently, saying with a bit of reproach, "Eat your food. Why so much chatter?"
Ethan came to his senses and immediately changed his tone: "It doesn't matter. I'll come often in the future, and then it will be lively."
Sophie Lawrence pulled herself together and put on a smile again on her face, saying, "Okay, you are welcome to come and play often."
Jason Lu opened the crab in casserole box, and the rich aroma instantly filled the whole room.
Ethan immediately exclaimed, "Sophie sister, this crab in casserole in this store is very popular. Just to queue up, one has to wait for several hours."
Sophie Lawrence immediately felt a bit embarrassed, thinking that she seemed to have caused them a lot of trouble.
Jason Lu saw that Sophie Lawrence took it seriously and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't listen to his nonsense. I know the store owner and took a back door."
When they actually started eating, Ethan basically had nothing to say, his whole heart immersed in the delicious food. Halfway through the meal, fine sweat gradually appeared on Sophie Lawrence's forehead. When she instinctively wanted to roll up the sleeves of her coat, she accidentally touched the wound on her arm.
"Hiss -"
"What's wrong?" Jason Lu and Ethan asked simultaneously.
Sophie Lawrence shook her head and took a breath before saying, "It's nothing."
Jason Lu didn't believe it at all. His face was serious, and his eyes were full of an unyielding determination. He was determined to make Sophie Lawrence roll up her sleeves completely to have a look.
Under Jason Lu's insistence, Sophie Lawrence had to do as he said. When he saw the wound on Sophie Lawrence's arm, Jason Lu's eyes darkened, and he asked with a trace of worry in his tone, "How did this happen?"
Ethan also frowned, his eyes full of concern.
Seeing the solemn expressions of the two, Sophie Lawrence quickly withdrew her hand and pretended to be relaxed, saying, "It's all right now. As long as I apply the medicine on time, there won't be a scar later."
"Sophie sister, do you need to apply the medicine now?" Ethan blinked and asked. After that, he also threw a look at Jason Lu, and there seemed to be some little schemes hidden in that look.
Sophie Lawrence looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Not yet."
Ethan's eyes dropped. The little scheme in his heart had failed.
Jason Lu didn't care. He first put a peeled shrimp into Ethan's bowl, and then picked up another shrimp. Ethan took Jason Lu's feeding for granted, and then watched as Jason Lu put the second shrimp into Sophie Lawrence's bowl.
"Jingle -"
Suddenly, there was the sound of the door opening. The three of them looked in the direction of the sound. They saw Henry Mitchell pushing the door and walking in, while Jason Lu's hand movement of reaching out to put the shrimp hadn't had time to retract yet.
