Would a casual sex partner be this attentive to another casual sex partner?

Will not.

Lu Yu must like him too.

This person is just too reserved; he keeps everything to himself and doesn't say anything.

Every time Song Xijin subtly probed, Lu Yu would either remain silent or reply with "We're just friends with benefits."

It's as if this sentence is some kind of get-out-of-jail-free card.

Halfway through her dilemma, Song Xijin dozed off and leaned on Lu Yu's shoulder.

His breathing was even, his eyelashes drooped quietly, and he unconsciously snuggled closer to Lu Yu in his sleep.

Lu Yu adjusted his posture, raised his hand to put his arm around Song Xijin's shoulder, letting him lean against him, and resting his chin on the top of his head.

My gaze fell on the receding night outside the car window.

Song Xijin didn't wake up until the car stopped downstairs at the hotel.

He lifted his head from Lu Yu's embrace, his eyes misty with tears, and the corners of his eyes still damp with sleepiness.

She looked much softer than usual, with less of the aloofness and sharpness she usually displays when she's alert.

"arrive?"

"Mr. Song, we've arrived at the hotel." Lu Yu pulled his arm back and stretched his shoulder, which had been pressed down on him the whole way.

"Hmm." Song Xijin sat up straight, preparing to open the car door and get out, when she suddenly remembered something.

He reached for a dark brown leather box next to his seat, turned around and handed it to Lu Yu.

The box is made of excellent leather with a subtle matte finish.

There was a line of English text on the box that Lu Yu could understand without needing a translation.

Patek Philippe.

Lu Yu glanced at the label on the box but did not reach out to take it.

His gaze lingered only on that line of English for a moment before rising to land on Song Xijin's face.

Seeing that he wouldn't take it, Song Xijin simply opened the box.

On a dark gray velvet lining lay a nautilus with a platinum watch strap.

The case is made of warm white gold, and the dial is a minimalist dark gray with a subtle horizontal stripe decoration.

The hands and hour markers gleamed with a cold light inside the car.

This watch is one of the more expensive models in the Nautilus series, and it will fetch an even higher price on the secondary market.

To acquire it, it would cost nearly two million.

He was fairly well-off in his previous life and knew a little about watches.

Wearing this watch out will make it instantly recognizable to those in the know, and even those who don't will find it attractive.

"Do you like it?" Song Xijin handed the watch box to Lu Yu, speaking casually. "Your previous watch didn't suit you very well, but this one will definitely look good on you."

The watch he was referring to was the brown leather strap watch that had a list price of around 300,000 yuan.

He bought it and gave it to Lu Yu, who then listed it on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace), so he bought it back.

I still wear it on my wrist.

The one that Song Xijin picked out for Lu Yu now is almost seven times more expensive, and the design is also more high-end and has a better texture.

It suits Lu Yu's broad shoulders, long legs, and striking features better than that brown leather belt.

Lu Yu definitely couldn't accept such an expensive watch.

"Mr. Song, I cannot accept this watch."

Song Xijin frowned subconsciously.

The gift was rejected, and it was Lu Yu who rejected it.

This made him a little uncomfortable.

He placed the watch box directly on Lu Yu's lap, his tone tinged with impatience.

That hint of impatience was feigned; beneath it lay a barely perceptible anxiety.

"Why? I gave it to you, so just take it. It's not like it's anything valuable."

Actually, this watch is quite expensive, and he felt that Lu Yu deserved it.

Lu Yu looks good in anything, and this watch on his wrist only makes him look better.

He said it wasn't worth much, but that was just to make Lu Yu swallow her pride and accept it.

As for the watch that he had given away and then bought back, it was much cheaper.

Because it was worn by Lu Yu, Song Xijin has been wearing it more often lately.

Lu Yu picked up the watch box and closed the lid.

He turned to the side, pulled open the hidden compartment in the middle of the seat, and put the watch box inside.

"Mr. Song, this watch is not suitable for me."

"What's wrong with it?" Song Xijin's voice was a little louder.

The driver in the front seat silently raised the partition inside the car.

This is not something he can hear.

Song Xijin realized her voice was too loud, so she lowered it, but her displeasure remained undiminished. "Tell me, what's inappropriate?"

"Mr. Song, we're just friends with benefits."

Lu Yu said seriously, "Mr. Song also said that I am no different from your human-shaped massage stick."

He always kept in mind the relationship between the two of them, which was defined by Song Xijin himself that night.

What's the deal with friends with benefits exchanging a two-million-dollar watch?

"grass!"

Song Xijin immediately exploded, jumping up from the back of her seat.

He glared at Lu Yu, his eyes instantly reddening, whether from anger or something else, it was hard to tell.

"Lu Yu, what do you mean?"

"You only remember those things, and not the good things I did for you, right? Don't you know in your heart how I treated you?"

"Why would I care this much about a casual sex partner? I heard you were being bullied on set, so I dropped a deal worth hundreds of millions and flew straight here to find you."

"I..." Song Xijin's voice choked, her lips trembled, and the rest of the words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

Those words were so unlike what Song Xijin would say.

He thinks about Lu Yu every day, afraid that he will be wronged and unable to bear seeing him being bullied.

Seeing Song Xijin's agitated state, Lu Yu felt a pang of unease.

Song Xijin rarely showed such a stubborn yet vulnerable side.

He didn't think much of it; he just wanted to appease the agitated Song Xijin for the time being.

Lu Yu raised her hand and held Song Xijin's head, her fingers threading through his soft hair, pressing him against her and silencing his stubborn yet aggrieved lips.

Song Xijin was stunned for only a moment.

He immediately raised his hands, hooked them around Lu Yu's neck, leaned forward, and desperately responded to the kiss.

Her lips pressed urgently against Lu Yu's lips, her tongue prying open his teeth and probing inside.

Lu Yu started it first. Lu Yu didn't push him away. Lu Yu's lips were still so warm and soft.

As the kiss progressed, Song Xijin's actions ceased to be mere kissing.

He is demanding, he is accusing.

All the emotions that had been suppressed, all the hurt caused by the word "friends with benefits," were poured into this kiss.

Only after being kissed until she was breathless did Song Xijin lean against Lu Yu's chest and breathe softly.

His fingers gripped Lu Yu's T-shirt collar, ruffling his bangs and letting a few strands fall down.

Her eyes were glistening with tears, and her lips were red from being kissed.

Song Xijin leaned against Lu Yu's chest for a while before speaking.

Her voice was slightly breathless, and her tone had softened considerably.

"Lu Yu, let's get back together, okay?"

"I was the one who suggested 'friends with benefits,' and I was the one who said 'human vibrator.' I take it back, okay?"

I take back everything I said.

He really didn't want to hear the words "friends with benefits" again.

Every time Lu Yu uttered the words "friends with benefits," his heart felt like it was about to burst.

Even breathing feels like a dull ache.
