Chapter 462 Must Be a Dream

Lu Jincheng didn't react at all. There was no point in Ji Yao talking to herself, so she soon fell silent.

Looking at the man who was breathing heavily and his face was flushed, she couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up, went to the lounge nearby to get a basin of water, and then dipped a towel in the hot water to make a hot towel.

When she came back, she placed a hot towel on his forehead and used the rest to wipe his body.

Even though she kept complaining, her actions were very meticulous.

He wiped his neck and wrist, which brought out a lot of heat. Lu Jincheng moved his fingers and seemed to have regained some consciousness.

He opened his eyes blearily, and everything in front of him was blurry.

In this blurry afterimage, he saw Ji Yao's face.

Because his head was a mess, Lu Jincheng was still not conscious. When he suddenly saw Ji Yao, he thought he was dreaming and mumbled incoherently.

"Ji, Ji Yao, is that you?"

"I, how could I see you? It's impossible. It's impossible for me to see you. I must be dreaming. Yes, I must be dreaming."

Because his voice was so soft, Ji Yao didn't hear it clearly. She only knew that the man was mumbling something, but she didn't know what he was saying.

She couldn't help but move closer.

"What, Lu Jincheng, what did you just say?"

Looking at the face he had been thinking about day and night gradually getting bigger in front of him, Lu Jincheng's heart was moved violently, and under the urging of alcohol, it became even more passionate.

He grabbed her wrist with a somewhat brutal movement, like a hungry wolf eating its prey. Once it catches its prey, it will fight to the death.

"Hiss... Lu Jincheng, let go, you're hurting me..."

Feeling the pain in her hand, Ji Yao couldn't help but struggle.

But the more she struggled, the more violent Lu Jincheng's movements became.

"No, I won't let you go, Ji Yao. If I let you go, you will run away immediately. I will never let you go. I will never let you run away!"

Ji Yao heard this sentence clearly, and she felt helpless about this paranoid remark.

Looking at Lu Jincheng's paranoid and fragile appearance, the red corners of his eyes looked like he had been crying and looked pitiful. She sighed softly.

The struggle became much less intense, and she soothed him with a gentle tone.

"Lu Jincheng, I won't run away. Don't worry, I won't run away casually. I will stay by your side. Look, I won't go anywhere by your side."

With her gentle coaxing, Lu Jincheng was gradually calmed down.

Lu Jincheng was not as paranoid as before, and the strength in his hands was much looser, as if he was afraid of hurting her, but he still did not let her go.

It seems that the sense of security has not increased.

Ji Yao didn't care and simply sat next to him following the force.

Looking at Lu Jincheng with a dazed look in his eyes, she reached out and touched the hair on his forehead. There was a sigh in her tone, as well as a little bit of pity that she herself didn't even notice.

"How foolish! How could I make myself like this? What a fool..."

As Lu Jincheng listened to her gentle tone, all the grievances he had suffered in the past few days came flooding back to him. He could no longer hold back and poured out all his recent bitterness to her.

"Ji Yao, wow, you don't know, I've had a very hard time during this period."

"When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Ever since the Lu Corporation got into trouble, everyone has been laughing at me. No one has helped me. Those who once relied on me now only want to step on me. Ji Yao, I have finally seen clearly that there is no such thing as friends or friendship. All people care about is their own interests. No one cares about anything else..."

Perhaps he was too depressed during this period. He didn't show it on his face, but in fact, he kept it all in his heart. There are some things he can't say to people he doesn't trust. In addition, due to his status, he can't show his disappointment in front of his subordinates.

Only now do we have the right time, right place and right people.

There are only him and Ji Yao here, and he is drinking. Drunk people are often more vulnerable, so they can't help but pour out everything from the past and confide their sufferings to their favorite person.

After hearing this, Ji Yao felt upset and looked downcast.

And seeing his lost look actually made me feel even more sad.

If possible, she hoped that he would still be as high-spirited as before, instead of being like this.

It's like an eagle with broken wings. It was once so proud and soared in the sky, but now it can only crawl on the ground and wait for its fate.

No, Lu Jincheng shouldn’t be like this, and can’t be like this.

Out of an inexplicable impulse, she suddenly held his hand.

When his hand was held back, Lu Jincheng was slightly stunned, not knowing what was going on.

He thought that he would always take the initiative, but he didn't expect that Ji Yao would also take the initiative. Such a good thing...

Am I really dreaming?
Ji Yao held his hand, looked at him, and spoke word by word.

"Lu Jincheng, listen carefully. You must not give up just like that. God will give a man a great responsibility, and he will suffer in his heart, toil in his muscles and bones, and starve in his body. You are that great man. I believe you will make a comeback one day. How did you rise in the first place? It's nothing more than walking that path again. What's there to be afraid of?"

She looked at him steadily, which was both a comfort and an encouragement to him.

"Lu Jincheng, there's no need to belittle yourself, see yourself clearly, or feel sad for those unnecessary people. You're right. Everyone cares about benefits. When benefits come, everyone follows. When benefits are gone, everyone will disperse. Why should you care about those unnecessary people? Just care about how to reunite the benefits at hand."

She tried to comfort him earnestly, and every word she said was meant sincerely to enlighten him.

As she spoke, she paused for a moment and poured him some water.

"Come, drink some water. Drinking so much alcohol must be harmful to your body. Drink a glass of water to moisten your body, and then you will feel better."

Looking at the water handed to him, Lu Jincheng had a somewhat silly expression on his face, but he did not refuse.

He was like a small animal drinking water, tilting his head and drinking small sips of water.

Seeing the other person like this, Ji Yao's eyes softened.

So cute, it turns out that drunk Lu Jincheng has such a cute side.

After drinking some water, Lu Jincheng seemed to be in much better spirits than before.

Although he was still dazed, his expression was not as painful as before.

Ji Yao saw water stains overflowing from the corners of his mouth, so she wiped them for him.

"Why are you drinking water all over the place like a little kid?"

Listening to this joking scolding, Lu Jincheng not only did not feel angry, but his heart was warmed. He just stared at Ji Yao without moving his eyes.

Ji Yao smiled when he stared at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?"

Lu Jincheng shook his head.

"No, you look good."

This is truly the truth, not just flattery.
