Chapter 354

The third female lead who was ignored laughed awkwardly, trying to conceal her embarrassment before downing the glass of wine in front of her .

Qiao Anhao remained silent, taking small sips of the hot milk in her hands . The milk was hot, but her heart was much hotter, sweetness enveloping her entire body as she took another sip .

There was already someone holding the microphone in front of the screen, singing the song they had chosen . The people sitting were chatting as they enjoyed the drinks .

The third female lead beside Qiao Anhao was deep in conversation with the director and Cheng Yang, ignoring her completely . Lu Jinnian, who was on her other side, had always been silent with few words, so she could only sit silently, gazing at the person singing while she sipped her milk .

When she emptied the cup, she placed it on the table and went to slouch on the sofa, her hands casually placed beside her thighs . Out of boredom, she started singing the song silently in her head .

The third male lead was famous for hoarding the microphone . He sang three consecutive songs and had no intention of giving the microphone away, instead he ordered a Jay Chou’s song “Dong Feng Po” for himself .

When Qiao Anhao was in school, she had rather liked this song, but since it had been a long time, she didn’t remember the lyrics . After singing five sentences inwardly, she stopped and looked up at the lyrics on the screen . That was when she saw the lines:

“As the water flowed to the east,

“No matter how much I tried to get more time,

“The flowers can only bloom once

“And I had missed it . . . “

At that moment, Qiao Anhao felt Lu Jinnian’s fingers touch hers .

A strong wave of emotion flew through her fingers to her entire body, paralyzing it . As she stared at the lyrics, she could no longer sing the song inwardly .

Qiao Anhao paused for a long while before realizing that Lu Jinnian’s hand was still touching hers, and there was a phone in his palm .

She gulped down and moved her hands, trying to avoid Lu Jinnian’s touch . But at that moment, his hands released his phone and covered hers .

In that instance, she felt as though her hands were no longer hers and there was an indescribable heat spreading from his palm into her bloodstream . She struggled for a while, trying to escape his touch, but instead she felt his fingers surrounding hers, holding her tightly .

Qiao Anhao couldn’t help turning to look at Lu Jinnian, but he was looking at the screen, his face expressionless, giving nothing away . Her heart raced, its speed increasing rapidly, even her ears were starting to burn .

When she had carried a torch for him when she was younger, she had imagined holding onto his pure and slender hand . After so many years, this was the first time they had held each other so seriously, and it was more moving and exciting than she had imagined .

Qiao Anhao imitated Lu Jinnian, staring at the screen without any expression . She also mustered some courage to squeeze his hand .

Lu Jinnian could feel her tighten her grip, her eyes brightening, but his expression still gave nothing away .

To the eyes of the others, they didn’t seem to be interacting, but in a corner that couldn’t be seen, their hands were tightly holding each other .
