I'll Still Love You Tomorrow Chapter 56: I Promise to Behave

Lu Jingyan took a few seconds to realize he knew she was downstairs.

She glanced up at his floor.

The lights were switched on and the curtains were open but she couldn’t see him.

Just as she was thinking how he found out, she received a text.

“Aren’t you coming up?”

Lu Jingyan didn’t know if the alcohol or the cold was affecting her brain. She couldn’t think of a reply.

“Forget it.”

Forget it.

What does that mean?

Lu Jingyan opened the keypad and was just about to type a reply.

Sheng Xian sent another message, “I’m coming down.”

Lu Jingyan paused and glanced up.

The lights on Sheng Xian’s level were dimmed.

She opened her mouth and somehow, she felt her heart squeeze.

She thought he didn’t care if she was going up. She never expected him to come down.

Her parents never cared about her so she never expected anyone else to care.

That’s why she hated asking for help.

She never thought she deserved it.

Even if the help was from her long time friends, Chen Kai and Song Xian.

But before she was sure if she was Sheng Xian’s friend, she was tempted to seek his help.

Less than a minute after receiving Sheng Xian’s message, he appeared in the lobby.

He wore a ginger coloured tweed long coat, and had a scarf around his neck. He looked like the main lead from a Korean drama.

He walked out of the glass door, onto the staircase and in front of her. “Let’s go.”

Lu Jingyan was startled. “Where?”

“I don’t know.” Sheng Xian added, “I thought you didn’t want to go up. We can just walk around.”

He paused and asked, “Are you cold?”

Lu Jingyan shook her head. She wanted to say no but a wind blew and sent her shuddering.

Sheng Xian removed his scarf and hung it around her neck. He stood in front of her and wrapped the scarf twice, making sure it was secure.

There was still residual heat on the scarf. When he wrapped the scarf around her, she could smell his familiar scent on his cuffs.

Lu Jingyan’s heart started to race.

She swallowed and pretended to be calm.

He could have just passed her the scarf, why did he have to wrap it around her?

Did he give her the scarf because she wasn’t wearing enough in this weather?

Lu Jingyan felt her heart race faster.

Lu Jingyan, stay calm.

You’re not writing a novel! He wasn’t the male lead and there wasn’t meaning behind his every action.

Sheng Xian had no clue what was going on in her mind. He saw her rubbing her hands in silence and thought that her hands were cold. “Put it in your pockets if you’re cold.”

Lu Jingyan was still in a daze. “Ah?” She asked. After two seconds, she stuffed her hands into Sheng Xian’s pockets.

Sheng Xian, “...”

Lu Jingyan, “...”

Seeing his strange expression, Lu Jingyan blinked and lowered her head.

She saw her hands in his pockets and was filled with embarrassment.

What’s with her?

He told her to put her hands into her pocket, not his!

Why did she think it was his pocket?

Why did she have to act on her assumptions!

Lu Jingyan suppressed her embarrassment and cleared his throat. “Mmh, let me borrow your body heat.”

Sheng Xian, “...”

She sounded natural, like a smoker borrowing lighter.

“I’ve been outside for a while so my pockets are freezing. Your clothes just came out from a heated room, it’ll be much warmer.” In order to carry on the act, Lu Jingyan deliberately pushed her hands further into his pocket. She sighed. “It’s so warm.”

Sheng Xian glanced down in silence.

Lu Jingyan felt uneasy under his stare but she had already started the act, she needed to end it.

She counted to ten calmly and slowly removed her hands from his pocket. “Thank you.”

When her hands were halfway out, Sheng Xian held onto her elbow.

Lu Jingyan looked up and smiled at him. “What? You want my hands to be there?”

Sheng Xian wet his lips, his hold on her elbow loosen but he didn’t let go.

“Brother, there’s somewhere else that’s warm.” Lu Jingyan’s gaze landed on his chest, “Your embrace.”

“……”

“Brother, do you want to try?”

“……”

“I promise to behave.”

“……”

Sheng Xian pulled her hand out of his pocket and flung it ruthlessly.
