章 739: A Change in the Capital

Lu Chengzhou looked back over at Gu Mang standing in the hallway as if he had sensed her presence after ending the call. The bubbling sound of the milk jolted him back to his senses, and he quickly turned off the stove and poured the heated milk into a cup.

Gu Mang approached him and rested her forehead against his back. He froze.

"Lu Chengzhou," she said his name all of a sudden.

Lu Chengzhou turned his head slightly back to look at her. "Hm? If you're feeling sleepy, drink this cup of milk before going to bed."

"Lu Chengzhou." She called his name once more and lifted her hand to tug at his clothes.

Lu Chengzhou stood there motionlessly. "What's wrong?"

She remained quiet for several seconds before finally lifting her head and straightening herself slightly. "Nothing. I just wanted to call your name."
