"Then leave the car at the car shop and let them take their time in repairing it," Lu Xingzhi said. "Have Big Ke and Ah Lu stay by your side. There's no need to hide them anymore. Otherwise, if anything bad happens and they can't get to you in time to prevent it, their presence will be meaningless."
Jiang Yao nodded and tugged Lu Xingzhi's sleeve. She was a little reluctant to let him go because the two of them would not be able to see each other for a long time.
"Take good care of yourself. Don't lose any more weight." Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao's head. "It's hot outside. Get indoors to stay cool."
Jiang Yao was still unwilling to go back and stood at the door to send him off. Lu Xingzhi curled the corner of his lips and lowered his head to kiss her. That kiss was incomparably gentle, but it only lasted for a few seconds before it ended. Then, he carried his things and turned to leave.
