I'll Still Love You Tomorrow Chapter 21: Are You Sheng Xian

“Medicine.” Auntie Sun held a bag of medicine, “It arrived by courier in the afternoon. Didn’t you order it?”

Lu Jingyan was stumped.

She took a moment to react and recalled that Sheng Xian said he had bought her medicine.

She grabbed the medicine from Auntie Sun’s hand, turned and ran out before changing out of her slippers.

“Eh?” Lu Jingyan was far away before she could say anything more.

The entrance was empty, she glanced about but Sheng Xian was nowhere in sight.

Auntie Sun followed behind, “Miss Lu, what are you looking for?”

“Nothing.” Lu Jingyan retracted her gaze, she hugged the bag of medicine and slowly walked back into the house.

“Miss Lu, did you drink again?” Auntie Sun could smell the alcohol on her, “Have the medicine first. Let me know if you don’t feel well at night, I’ll make some honey water for you later.”

Lu Jingyan didn’t hear her words clearly, she replied with a placating “Mmh” and walked up the stairs with the medicine.

Once she reached her bedroom, Lu Jingyan sat on her bed and poured the contents of the bag, took a photo and sent it to Sheng Xian, “You bought this?”

She sat crossed legged on the bed for a long time, staring at the medicine on the bed. Even after Auntie Sun came with the honey water, there was still no notification on her phone.

After Auntie Sun left, her phone vibrated and she pounced onto her bed to grab it. It was a text from Song Xian, “Babe, are you ok?”

Lu Jingyan replied to her disinterestedly, “I’m alright.”

They spoke idly for a while, Song Xian probably drank too much and stopped replying. Lu Jingyan exited the chat, leaned on the bed, supporting her head with one hand as she toyed the medicine box with the other.

Young Lady Lu has never been patient, and Sheng Xian’s lack of response ate up the tiny bit of patience she had mustered up. She unlocked her phone in frustration and started her tirade.

“What’s so great about being a professor? Does that allow you to disregard others?”

Lu Jingyan typed the words angrily, pressing down on her phone violently.

The moment she sent out the message, her phone vibrated.

A new message appeared.

Lu Jingyan quickly recalled her text before reading his message.

Just as she was proud of her quick reflexes, another message came in.

Sheng Xian, “?”

Lu Jingyan read both his messages.

Sheng Xian, “Mmh.”

He really bought her medicine.

Lu Jingyan didn’t know why she was so happy, her eyes curved as she held her phone.

After a short while, she realized Sheng Xian was still waiting for an explanation on the message she recalled.

Lu Jingyan wasn’t dumb, she definitely wouldn’t tell him the truth. “The message was for someone else.”

Before waiting for him to reply, Lu Jingyan diverted the topic, “Brother, have you reached home?”

Sheng Xian seemed bored that night, “Mmh.”

Lu Jingyan, “Brother, sleep early.”

Lu Jingyan, “Also, thank you for the medicine.”

Based on Lu Jingyan’s understanding of Sheng Xian, the three messages he sent was probably his limit.

Not expecting another reply, she placed her phone down, prepared to shower. Just then, her phone rang.

Sheng Xian, “Mmh.”

Lu Jingyan was ecstatic, he must be very bored today.

Lu Jingyan thought for a moment, “Are you really Sheng Xian?”

…

Sheng Xian stared at the message in silence for a few seconds and kept his phone.

He had some unfinished work, he was rather efficient and managed to finish everything by 10pm. He would clear his voice recorder once in a while, since he used it recently, and it was still early, he decided to clear it.

He wore his headphones and cleared them bit by bit. He vaguely knew the contents after listening to the start of the recording and could clear them quickly.

He didn’t pay attention to the timing of the recording, and listened one after another. Just then, he heard her voice, “Brother, winter is coming, shall we hug together for warmth?”

Sheng Xian, “...”

He stared at the computer screen and realized there were a few short recordings.

Sheng Xian, “...”

Sheng Xian fell silent and listened to the next recording.

“Brother, if you lack a girlfriend, please press 1, if you lack a wife, please press 2 and if you lack a child’s mum, please press 3.”

“Brother, if you’re a little more proactive, we wouldn’t just have a story, we would have kids.”

“Brother, brother, what are you doing? Did you miss me? It’s okay if you don’t miss me, my longing is enough.”
