Chapter 1020: Are You Concerned About Me?

Lu Jinyan sat down and first took out his phone to dial a number.

The call connected quickly, and as soon as the other party answered, he directly said, "It’s me. Ning Wan has woken up. You can go see her later... I’m downstairs having something to eat right now, and I have some things to handle later. Please take care of her for me, and I’ll visit her later."

After hanging up, he picked up the menu and ordered a bowl of egg noodles.

Wen Duoduo asked with some curiosity, "Who were you calling just now?"

"Gu Yuan, a good friend of mine. He plays the violin and also knows Ning Wan."

Wen Duo nodded and asked again, "I heard Ning Wan say that she only wants you to be with her. Aren’t you afraid she’ll throw a tantrum if you’re not there?"

Lu Jinyan heard this and his lips curled slightly, "Finally admitting that you overheard our conversation just now?"

"..."

Wen Duoduo was at a loss for words.

After a pause, Lu Jinyan continued, "She’s not a child anymore. She should understand that not getting what she wants can’t be solved by acting spoiled."

Wen Duoduo was frozen in shock at his words, with an indescribable expression of astonishment and excitement on her face.

Lu Jinyan raised his lashes, focusing intently on her dazed face.

"I don’t deny it; I care about Ning Wan, but that’s all there is to it. I only see her as a sister."

Wen Duoduo raised an eyebrow slightly and said sourly, "But you two look so good together. I think in most people’s eyes, you’re a well-matched pair."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyan closed his eyes deeply.

"What kind of logic is that? Just because in other people’s eyes, Ning Wan and I look like we match, I should like her and be with her? Matters of the heart are felt personally."

Having not rested well all night, his throat felt a bit dry and hoarse, and he couldn’t help but cough lightly after speaking.

Wen Duoduo noticed this too.

Was his current haggard appearance a result of not resting well all night?

Her heart felt like it was being struck hard by something, incredibly uncomfortable.

"Alright, I admit it was all my overthinking. I shouldn’t have misunderstood you and Ning Wan, I just... just lack confidence in myself, and that’s why I had some negative emotions."

She admitted honestly, filled with guilt.

"Realized your mistake?"

Lu Jinyan huffed.

"Yes, I realized it."

Wen Duoduo also admitted readily.

"That’s more like it."

As Lu Jinyan spoke, his face returned to his usual smile, and he coughed lightly two more times.

He hadn’t rested well, and earlier he rushed out in a hurry to catch up with Wen Duoduo, wearing only a white shirt, so he felt a bit cold now.

Seeing him like this, Wen Duoduo felt a slight pain in her heart.

She bit her lip and asked, "Why did you run out without putting on more clothes? You’re going to catch a cold even if you’re not sick."

Lu Jinyan’s deep amber eyes suddenly became clear, and he gently curled his lips, saying, "Are you concerned about me?"

"Who’s got the time to worry about you? I couldn’t care less!" Wen Duoduo rolled her eyes at him but couldn’t hide her feelings, standing up to leave.

Lu Jinyan grabbed her hand.

"I thought you’d be very worried about me. I was out all night last night. Weren’t you even a bit worried about me?"

He covered his mouth, speaking mournfully, and started to cough heavily again.

He knew his body well, in fact, he just didn’t rest well for a night, so his throat felt uncomfortable.
