Lu Qing stood still and looked over.
Lu Bai was sitting on the sofa and looking at him. He put away the book in his hand and slowly stood up.
He picked up his coat and put it on. “Come, let’s have a chat.”
He walked towards the balcony.
The door to the balcony opened and a cold wind blew in. Lu Qing was stunned for a moment before he walked over.
Lu Bai stood on the balcony. He raised his hand and swept some of the snow off the railings. Supporting himself with one hand, he messed with his phone with the other.
Lu Qing walked in and closed the door to the balcony. When he spotted a school bag in the corner of the balcony, he could not help but be stunned.
That school bag was the one he gave Lu Ning.
Even last night…
Lu Bai followed his gaze, then looked at him.
“Ningnings back. She’s in her room.”
Lu Qing walked closer. He placed his arms on the railings and looked at the snow blanketing the ground in the neighborhood.
Lu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke very slowly. His voice was very soft, the words from his mouth on the cusp of being blown away by the wind.
“Big Brother, our family has always admired you. After all, you’ve always been fair and decisive.
“Whether at work or in life, I’ve never seen you do ffffong.
“When our little sister was born and our parents couldn’t even take care of themselves, you took on the responsibility of taking care of her.
“It was then that I saw a different side of you.
“l always thought that you were just doting on An’an, but now I realize that you were actually pampering her.”
That was all he said.
There was little affect in his voice—no complaints, no emotions.
He raised his hand and handed his phone over.
“She’s been in your care ever since she was young. Dad and Mom didn’t tell you because they were afraid that you would get hurt.
“But is it right for you to protect her like this? You can’t leave her, and she doesn’t seem to be able to leave you. Otherwise, why would these situations happen… Is she truly that sort of person to begin with?”
Lu Bai t s last sentence stunned Lu Qing. He raised his hand and took the phone.
Lu Bai did not say anything else. After he pa.s.sed the phone over, he turned around and left the balcony.
Lu Qing held his phone and watched the few videos on it. He watched all of them to the very end.
When Lu Ning got up to get some water, she glanced at her phone. It was 3:20
a.m.
As she returned from the kitchen after having drank some water, she saw someone standing on the balcony. After taking a closer look, she confirmed that it was Lu Qing.
Lu Ning stood there for a while, then turned around and poured a gla.s.s of hot water from the kitchen. She placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Before she left, she even turned on the night light behind the sofa.
Lu Qings entire body was frozen stiff, but he did not even realize it. He stood there in a daze, staring at the screen of the phone in his hand. The screen lit up and went out, then lit up and went out again…
Sensing something, he moved mechanically and turned around slightly, but he did not see anything.
However, she still saw the school bag that had been thrown in the corner.
He stood on the spot and moved. Then, he walked over, squatted down, and reached for the school bag with his cold, red hands.
There was already a layer of snow on her bag.
He raised his hand and patted it, preparing to take his bag back. However, his bag was placed upside down. When he picked it up, a stack of paper fell out.
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment and bent down to pick it up.
As he picked them up one by one, he noticed the text on them.
He squatted on the spot and took a look.
These were the doc.u.ments that Lu Ning had found in the closet which Lu Yue’an had not taken with her.
It was as if everything that she had planned for a long time was now in front of him. He could not help but be hesitant..
